CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day).

The May session of the Central Criminal Court was
opened this morning by the Right Honourable the
Lord Mayor, the Right Honourable the Recorder,
Aldermen Sydney, Sir F. Moon, Farncomb, Sir B.
Muggeridge, Finnis, and Wire.

The first edition of the calendar contains the names
of 90 prisoners.

The Recorder made a very brief address to the grand
jury, and he said he was happy to inform them that,
the ordinary cases of the session were not of a cha-
racter that would be likely to present any difficulties,
in the consideration of them. There was one very im-
portant case that would be the subject of a very long
and anxious inquiry (that of W. Palmer, for the Rugeley
poisonings), but as the grand jury of Stafford had
already returned true bills their attention would not
have to be directed to it.

The prisoner is thus described in the calendar
Liam Palmer, 31, surgeon, superior education, for the
wilful murder of John Parsons Cook. .Also standing in'
dieted for the wilful murder of Anne Palmer, Also
charged upon the coroner's inquisition with the wilful
murder of Walter Palmer.

Samuel Cheshire, 35, stationer, is also committed, by
order of the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
to give evidence against the prisoner.
That the excitement caused by the extraordinary
trial which commences upon Wednesday will far ex-
ceed anything that has previously occurred there can-
not be the slightest doubt ; even this day great num•
beri of persons, besides those actually engaged in the
cases for trial, assembled to witness the arrangements
which have been made for the occasion.

The utmost precaution has been taken to prevent any
inconvenience which may arise front over-crowding.
At the foOt of the stone steps leading from the yard of
the Old Court into the court, strong barricades with
lifting brackets are placed, and at the avenues which
lead from the New Court double erections of a similar
character have been constructed. The passages be-
tween the Old and New Courts have had a barrier
erected the entire length, with wickets to prevent any
pressure at the two doors opening from there into the
Old Court.

As to the arrangements inside the court, as far as its
limited space will allow of, everything has been done ;
but still it seems far from likely to be at all adequate to
what will be wanted. The table, which originally
stood in the centre of the court, has been removed, and
in its place four rows of seats, with desks, have been
erected, so that the counsel will face the jury. At the
front of the bench is erected a table for attorneys. This
morning the Attorney-General has visited the court, and
expressed his opinion that the alteration was a decided
improvement upon original arrangements.

most interested in the abolition of the Sound dues,
as well as in every important European question.
In fact, no voice has been raised against the equity
of Denmark's proposal and against the moderate
views the Danish Government has taken in this
question. Several Powers—as Sweden, Norway,
and Russia—whose share in the capitalisation would
exceed 7,000,000 silver roubles (28,000,000 f.) have
not hesitated to.accept it. Others have not yet an-
swered. to the call, and England, whose interest
is seems to be to watch over the independ-
ence of Denmark, has declined to enter into the
proposed arrangement. It is easily understood
that the payment of more than I,ooo,oool.—the
proportional share of Great Britain—may awaken
apprehensions in a constitutional Government ;
and no Government can be expected to be very
inclined to call, upon. the nation whose interests
are committed to their care to pay a similar sum.
But the English nation has interests of a higher
order than pecuniary ones—interests calculated
for future times—interests of European influence
and hegemony. From this point of view I think
Englan might try to identify its own advantage
with that of other nations, and I am scarcely wrong
when I affirm that the British sympathies of this
country, which in later years have greatly in-
creased, would be considerably impaired if Den-
mark's moderate and reasonable proposals should
meet with opposition from the very country which
has the solution of the question in its hands, and
which of all States is the one best qualified to
prepare a transition from the existing state of
things to another state, more consistent with the
exigencieS of the time, without. violently",thaklng
away, with
rt a n-kno`wn p eal maxim tlial great
powers ought to seek their alliances with weaker
countries, and it certainly would not tell against
British interest to promote and strengthen the sym-
pathies of a people so attached to, and such great
admirers of, British institutions as the Danish
nation.

THE SOUND DUES.

A letter, dated Copenhagen, May 4, says
In my last letter I gave you a résumé of the
Sound dues question. Since then this negotiation
has made no progress, but the fault rests not with
the Danish Government. Before making any pro-
posal, the Danish Government endeavoured to
tind a way of solution which at the same time was
acceptable to foreign Powers and consistent with
Denmark's interests. This double end the Danish
Government has only been able to attain by pro-
posing the abolition of the Sound dues for a capital
of 35,000,000 rixdollars Danish money--a sum
which scarcely exceeds one-half of the capital
which, at 4 per cent. interest, represents the yearly
income of the Sound dues. Although this arrange•

BANDS IN THE PARKS ON SUNDAY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Some apprehension has been excited from a report,
which as yet we cannot positively authenticate, to the
effect that the Archbishop of Canterbury is going to
stop the bands next Sunday. We hope, fer the sake of
that right rev. prelate, if such an insane phantasy should
have entered his mind, that he will proceed in person
to carry it into execution, attended by the Earl of
Shaftesbury and Lord Robert Grosvenor, who have
yet to learn that the days of Cardinal Wolsey are passed,
and that if the Queen's deputy, as head of the Protestant
Church, attempt to become Pope, that the sooner he
goes to Rome the better. A deputation to Lambeth,
then, has been led by the Earl of Shaftesbury, but we
heartily trust the archbishop is not yet bitten by the
round heads. If he is, no time should be lost in orga•
nising meetings, letting memorials pour in from the
hundreds of thousands who are thus to be robbed of
liberty of conscience and of the enjoyment afforded last
autumn and this spring. Of course this will be only a
first step to still further compelling a priest observance
of the Sabbath, and every steam-boat, omnibus, and
cab will be forbidden by Church interference with the
State. What will become of Lambeth Sunday fair I
Perhaps the income derived from it may have blinded
the archbishop to its existence under his very windows.
If we are to become Jews, and if liberty of conscience
under the Christian dispensation is to be annihilated by
a bull from Lambeth, let it be comprehensive, and not
aimed only at those who are supposed to be below ap•
preciating the loss of the refined pleasure which has
begun to take the place of drinking and mere animal
gratification. We consider stopping the bands to be
criminal and immoral.

THE ATTACK ON THE BELGIAN PRESS.

We extract the following from a letter received
from Brussels, dated May 9 :
" You are aware of the answer of the Viscount
Vilain XIV., our Minister of Foreign Affairs, to
M. Orts, who questioned him at the sitting the day
before yesterday on the subject of the 22d Protocol,
concerning the attacks which the Belgian press
directed against the Government of the Emperor
of the French. The day after this famous sitting a
numerous crowd assembled on the square of the
Hotel de Ville, in order to present a congratulatory,
address to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Pla-
cards had been posted at an early hour throughout
the city, calling a meeting for the evening at eight
o'clock. Some hundreds of persons, among whom
were the principal editors of the Brussels journals
and journeymen printers, met on the Great Place,
and marched thence, with the national flan' at their
head, and defiled before the hotel of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs and that of the Interior, around
the park and the Place Royale, amid shouts of
Vive la Constitution !" Vive le Vicomte Vilain
XIV. I' Neither of the Ministers was at home, and
the address was left at the Foreign-office. Then
the crowd passed the Montagne do la Cour and the
Madeleine, and dispersed, again uttering vivats and
cries. But the lesson will not be lost, you may
be sure. It will have for effect to force the bad
press within the limits of a more decorous discus-
sion, and especially less outrageous to the Em-
peror of the French."
Another letter says :
" As to the army, public opinion is much occu-
pied with it, and I believe it is destined in a given
time to great reduction and that some corps neces-
sary for the interior will alone be kept on foot.
Tile saving resulting from its suppression will in-
crease the credits voted for the augmentation of
public works. I was present on the sth at a cere-
mony usual in Paris, but which in another country
has something still more touching—l allude to the
anniversary service for the Emperor Napoleon I.
Belgium was French in other days, and it still
possesses a certain number of old soldiers of the
Empire, who idolise the memory of the founder of
the Napoleonian dynasty. The number of these
gallant men diminishes each year ; but those who
remain, clothed in their best dress, the greater part
decorated with the Star of Honour, are in the habit
of repairing to the church of St. Gudule, preceded
by drums, excellent music, and two flags—viz, the
National and the Imperial, both covered with
crape, to pray for him who was their idol on earth.
The music I heard on Monday last was very fine,
and the attitude of these veterans was worthy of
the profound respect which they have preserved
for the memory of their Sovereign."

FRANCE.
The following is the letter of the Times Paris
correspondent, dated yesterday (Sunday), 6 p.m.:—
It is reported very currently in Paris that serious
explanations have been or will be ;demanded of the
British Government by Russia as to the treaty of the
15th, signed between Austria, England, and France
only 15 days after the signature of the treaty of
peace by all the members of the Congress. The
conversation that has taken place between the
Russian Envoy and the French Government was
probably of a less official character, inasmuch as the
Moniteur has not published that Treaty, while it
was presented to the English Parliament by Lord
Clarendon with that of the 30th and the Protocols.
Perhaps excessive importance is given to the
former document, but there are parties who hold
that it, to some extent, annuls the latter, instead
of being its complement or corollary. It was at
first supposed that there was a. secret article ; now
it is suspected that instead of an additional clause
there is a secret treaty, of which no hint whatever
has been as yet given. I cannot say how far this
suspicion is well-founded.
It appears that the Governments have resolved
not to communicate the declaration annexed to the
Protocols respecting maritime law, particularly the
abolition of privateering, to any other Governments
except the parties signing, aware that the Govern-
ment of the United States would not accept it.
It was rumoured, but I believe without any good
foundation, that the Treaty of the 15th would have
the effect of retarding, if not stopping, M. de
Morny's mission to Moscow. It is certain, how-
ever, that the Russians are still greatly irritated at
it; and I doubt whether Count Orloff would so
soon have signed the act of the 30th had he known
that of the 15th.

THE GREAT OYER of POISONING.—The
approaching Trial.—Let all people, from one end of the world
to the other, mark well the burthen of the song between the doctors
on the trial. Would the accused have ever been suspected but for
the insurance offices.) Most certainly not. The same thing's being
enacted every day by these deadly poisons, but John Bull quietly
looks on. We emphatically declare that it cannot be otherwise.
Posterity will attest this.

ASTLErS ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

The entertainments provided for the holiday makers
this evening at the Royal Amphitheatre are of the most
attractive nature. A new and original equestrian ro-
mantic spectacle, written expressly for this theatre,
entitled "The Horse of the Cavern, or the Mounted
Brigands of the Abruzzi, is announced for representation
for the first time. At the conclusion of the spectacle,
the ever attractive "Scenes in the Arena" will follow,
in which the whole of Mr. W. Cooke's stud will appear;
and the entertainments will conclude with a grand
tableau equestre. From whatlwe have personally heard,
a great treat is in store for all those who visit this theatre
to-night.

The "road by Gadshill," where the 2d scene of the
Ist part of Henry IV., so well known to all Shakspe-
rians, is laid, will henceforth have another interesting
association. " Gadshill," has been purchased by Mr.
Charles Dickens, who is a native of Rochester.

Squadron or division of gun-boats has been sold to the

It is stated that when Victor Hugo was living in the
Rue de Vaugirard, a letter reached him addressed to the
" Plus grande poets de l'univers." He enclosed it, un-
opened, to Lamartine, then living in the Rue de l'Uni-
versite, by whom it was with equal promptitude and
c Jurtesy returned.
The Belgian murderer Koll was executed at Antwerp
on Thursday morning. Ho made a good breakfast, and

tively to the exhortations of the chaplain, and ascended

chiefly composed of women, assembled to see the execu-
lion.

RUSSIA.

_BERLIN, MAY 8.
The Emperor of Russia has issued the following
manifesto on the subject of his approaching
coronation :
" We, Alexander Ir., Emperor and Autocrat of All
the Russias, King of Poland, &c., make known by these
' presents :
" When we ascended our ancestral throne of Russia,
and Grand Duchy of Finland, and the throne of Poland,
which is inseparable from it, in the midst of severe trials,
both for us and our country, we resolved in our heart to de-
fer oar coronation so long as the thunder of arms was not
silenced within the limits of oar realm, and the blood of
our glorious Christian warriors, who had signalised
themselves both by deeds of rare courage and by self-
sacrifices, had not ceased to fhw. Now that beneficent
peace is restoring to Russia her former tranquillity, we in-
tend, in conformity with the example of th e former
pious Emperors, our predecessors, to be crow. led, and
to receive the prescribed anointment, and at tl ie same
time to have our dearly beloved consort, the 1, 'uipress
Maria Alexandrowna, participate in the same. While
we thus make known to our faithful subjects th our
intention, which, with God's help, shall be carried
into execution in the month of August of this year, we
invite them at the same time to join their prayers to ot, 'rs
that God's blessing may descend on us and on our GL '-
vernment • tbat God may help us, while placing on our
head the Imperial crown, to take upon us the oath and
vow to live solely and alone for the good of the nations
that are put under cur rule ; and may Almighty God
enlighten all our thoughts and inspire all our acts by
the bestowal on us of His Holy Spirit !

"ALEXANDER.
