SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived.
'We read in the Clamor Publico :—" An interest-
ing question arose yesterday in the Committee on
the Budget, on the chapter of the royal household.
The Ministry applies for an annual pension of 540,000
reels (about 135,000 f.), for DoN CARLOS Luss, Duke
of Parma, in lieu of the interest of a grant by
CHARLES IV., in 1795. The Duke and DoNA LUISA
CARLOTA, who claim this sum jointly, have only re-
cently recognised Queen ISABELLA. The Ministry
have also presented a claim for an indemnity to DoN
FRANCISCO DE PAULA, in lieu of what he enjoyed as
Commander of the Order of St. John. These grants
were objected to by some of the Committee as being
irregularly presented. They ought, it was observed,
to have been the object of special laws. The Com-
mittee appointed a Sub-Committee to investigate and
report upon the subject."

MORNING ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 1851.

The fifty-third annual impression of this wonderful and ever-
increasing book is before us. On the present occasion it is marked
by a more early appearance than usual—a proof of increased dili-
gence in compiling the immense lists of names, trades, and profes-
sions, as well as a further enhancement of its value and accuracy.
For it must be evident, upon reflection, that the nearer in point of
time to the completion of information so varied, evanescent, and
perpetually changing, the issue of the work !containing it shall be,
so will its faithfulness be increased. Death, bankruptcy, retirement,
sales, emigration, mere removal, prevent the permanency of such
information, in the recency cf which lies its whole value. Now,
living ourselves in this current of change, and of necessity observant
of many mutations, we have applied to the " Post Office Directory"
the severest of tests, by a reference to a few of the most recent fluc-
tuations in the world of London and of commerce, This it has stood
triumphantly. In this vast mass of matter (over 2,000 pages), In all
parts of the ponderous volume, is the same actuality of present truth-
fulness. Oflicial appointments and promotions, changes of firms,
.removals, alterations of postal times, of mail routes and arrivals, of
steam-packets, the evictions and changes consequent upon street-
widenings, &c., &c., Lc., are all noted, so as, in poetic phrase, to
"Fix the flying Cynthia of the minute ;"
or, rather, to render, so far as modern Babylon is concerned, " the
very age and body of the time, its form and pressure." Among the
notabilia of the world's metropolis, this record of its actual state is
one of the most useful and wondrous.

A Mr. Gregory attended to answer a summons
for detaining a manuscript on Bloomerism.
Mr. Jobson said that at the request of the defen-
dant he wrote a lecture on the subject of Bloomerism,
and intrusted the manuscript to him for the purpose
of having it printed. Instead, however, of the de-
fendant complying with the agreement they entered
into the time, he left London, taking the manuscript
with him, and engaged a person to represent an

MINING JOURNAL, OCTOBER 25, 1851.

Tile fifty-third annual edition of this useful work has just appeared,
and judging from its contents, is by no means inferior to its prede-
cessors, and fully sustains the reputation it has so well earned, as
being the only correct key to the names and addresses of the se-
veral trades and professions in this vast metropolis. As a work of
reference, it is decidedly most useful and necessary to the man of
business. No banking or merchants' office should be without it. A
smaller edition has likewise been published, which, though not so
comprehensive as the larger, contains an Immense mass of useful in—
formation; and both the works are eminently entitled to the name
of " handbooks to the commerce of the first commercial city in the
world."

DAILY NEWS, OCTOBER 14, 1851.

The " Post Office Directory" for 1852 has been published, us-
usually early this year. The portly volume is now before us. The
proprietors thus explain their reasons for this earlier issue of their
volume :—.6" The Exhibition having occasioned a demand greater
than usual, the edit on for the current year became exhausted; to
prevent the inconvenience of the work being out of print, every
exertion has been made to produce the new edition at the earliest
period compatible with accuracy." That this has not been sacrificed
to speed, a scrutiny will amply stow; and in proof that the cor-
rections have been made to the latest possible period, they instance
the acceleration of papers by the day mail, under the head of
"delivery of letters in London," at page 1761. The first day on
which the mails arrived 20 as to admit of the complete carrying out
of the arrangement was on Sattffday last, the 11th instant, The
insertion, too, in the "Parliamentary Directory" of the Christian
names of the present Lord Stafford, whose father's death was an-
nounced on the 6th instant, is ano her instance, among several which
might be adduced to show how closely the corrections have ,been
made up to the moment of issue.

THE SHEFFIELD-PAItK MURDER.
We are informed on very good authority that the
convicts William Battersby and Etiza Wilkinson,
who have been found guilty of manslaughter of the
husband of the last named individual, have made a
statement which, if true, explains to a certain
extent what has hitherto been a most myste-
rious transaction. The communication is made
to us verbally, and in respect of exact details is
not very complete. The purport of it is as follows :
—On the Saturday upon which the unfortunate
Wilkinson perished in so horrible a manner he went
out into the yard for a few minutes, leaving his wife
and Battersby alone, the little girl having gone to
bed. During that interval his wife and Battersby were
toying with each other respecting a handkerchief, of
which he was endeavouring to gain possession, and
while so engaged Batteraby placed his arm round the
woman's waist. In that relative position they were sur-
prised by Wilkinson, who, inferring a more grave im-
propriety than the facts warranted, became very angry.
" Come, Battersby," he exclaimed, " we'll have no
more of this ; there's bean too much of it already ; you
shall leave my house this night, and see that you
never enter it again." He then turned fiercely to-
wards his wife, and, snatching up a knife that lay on
the table, swore he would kill her instantly. At
this moment Battersby interposed, and strove
to take the knife from him. A struggle en-
sued, in which the hands of both of them
were cut, as deposed to by certain of the witnesses.
The woman, taking advantage of this momentary
withdrawal of attention from herself, snatched up
the poker, struck her husband on the wrist, and
knocked the knife out of his hand. Wilkinson upon
that became quite furious, and she, to screen herself
from violence, ran up stairs and leaped out of the
window. Batteraby, finding the stream of the
jealous husband's rage turned wholly against himself,
then got possession of the poker or coal-rake, and
dealt him that terrific blow which made such havoc on
his head ; and afterwards, observing that the disabled
man was dead, conceiving the thought of presenting
the appearance of suicide, he cut the dead man's throat
and laid the clasp-knife upon the floor, where it was
found the following morning. Having completed his
gory work he then ran up stairs, hastily changed his
dream, and ran away in the manner described by the
witness Mary Sarah Pearson. If this were so, it
would seem that the statement of the woman as to her
own conduct was in the main true, and that she
acted deceitfully only in suppressing such details as
would have prejudiced herself and Battersby.—Shef-
field Times.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Briggs, of the firm of Briggs and Gardford, of
Primrose-street, Bishopsgate-street, oilmen, appeared be-
fore Sir P. Laurie, who has been appointed locum tenens
for the Lord Mayor during his Lordship's corporation
visit to Paris, for the purpose of making a statement, the
public notice of which might be productive of advantage,
It had become, Mr. Briggs said, a common practice at
places of amusement about London, to send up in the
air dangerous combustibles in the shape of ilre balloons,
which were calculated to do irreparable mischief, espe-
cially when they happened to fall upon premises in which
there were inflammable materials. There had been a
fire on Friday night in Clerkenwell, and in about half an
hour after he had heard of the breaking out of the con-
flagration he was informed by oae of the servants of the
establishment that the roof of his premises was on fire.
On going up to the roof he found that a fire-balloon,
which had lately descended, was blazing away, and he
was convinced that if it had fallen a foot or two away
from the spot on which it had dropped, the building
would have been in a very short time in flames; there
were between 200 and 300 tuns of oil on the premises,
the consequences to the whole neighbourhood might have
been dreadful in the extreme. He had learned, upon
speaking to the police, that fire-balloons were constantly
falling about Bishopsgate, and that it was generally sup-
posed they had been sent up from the various public
gardens about the metropolis, the proprietors of which,
no doubt, never took into account the dangers to be ap-
prehended from the childish practice.
Sir P. LAIIRIE—I dare say you come here to make
this representation, because you conclude that it is the
quickest mode of seeking and accomplishing a remedy
to obtain a speedy exposure in the public press? Mr.
Briggs—Precisely so. I consider that my premises, and
as a necessary consequence the whole neighbourhood,
had a very narrow escape. I entertain no doubt that
the moment the police authorities are informed of the
fact of the frequent descent of fire balloons, they will
give directions to the forge to make such regulations us

HIINTINGDON.—We are sorry to have to record an
accident which happened to Miss Alice Linton, youngest
daughter of the Rev. James Linton, of Hemingford. Whilst
riding her pony a few days ago, the animal suddenly
stumbled and the young lady was thrown to the-ground;
on raising her up it was found one of her legs was broken.
We have the pleasure to add that she is progressing to-
warda recovery.

The Prefect of the Seine occupied the choir placed
in the centre of the salle, opposite to which stood the
bust of Louis Napoleon beneath a semicircle of bi-
coloured flags, most gracefully arranged. On the
right of the chairman sat the Pope's Nuncio and Lord
Granville, the Vice-President of the Exhibition com-
mittee, and on his left Lord Normanby and the Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs. The Lord Mayor presided
at a table opposite to that of the Prefect of the Seine.
The valets and jockeys, who, covered with gold lace,
stood behind his Lordship, attracted much curious
attention.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

La Gazza Ladra was repeated on Saturday evening,
and never have we heard this delightful opera more per-
fectly performed. Alboni was in excellent voice, and as
usual produced an immense sensation by her delicious
rendering of the "Di placer." The "Oh ! nume be-
nefico" was splendidly sung by Alboni, Coletti, and
Lablache ; and the finale to the first act was most
purely and beautifully rendered. The prison scene
was exquisitely given by Alboni and Pippo, and never
have we heard Lablache in finer voice, or seen him act
with more gusto than he did on Saturday. His Prefetto
is a thing to be remembered; it is perfect. The theatre
was dentely crowded.

ARMY.

Colonel REID asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
in the absence of the Secretary at War, whether the
examination of candidates for commissions in the army
was still to be left to the discretion of the civil profes-
sors of Sandhurst College, or to be conducted under the
personal supervision of field officers competent to judge
of the educational fitness of gentlemen for regimental
service. _ . .

Lord J. RUSSELL said all he could state at present
was that he believed the Commander-in-Chief was very
well satisfied with the manner in which the examinations
had hitherto been conducted.

ATTENDANCE OF LETTER-CARRIERS AT

CHURCH ON SUNDAY.

Mr. PACKE asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether the recommendation contained in the report of
the Commissioners appointed to investigate the question
of Sunday labour in the Post-office, dated the 10th day
of August, 1850, " That where the duties are such as
to prevent the rural letter carrier from attending Divine
service, an arrangement be made for providing a substi-
tute at least on the alternate Sundays," bad been carried
'alto effect? and if not, whether it was the intention of
the Postmaster-General to adopt it?
Mr. C. LE WIS said there was considerable difficulty
in obtaining information from different parts of the
country, in order to carry the recommendation into ef-
fect, but it was the intention of the Postmaster-General
to adopt the recommendation as soon as the arrange-
ments could be completed.
POST-OFFICE.
In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE,
Mr. C. LEWIS said the late Postmaster-General of
Berwick-on-Tweed was removed from his office because
he refused to perform certain orders of the Postmaster-
General.

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, AUGUST 2.—The Ministerial project
on the right of popular meetings and associations has
been as good as thrown out. Baron VAN HAVEL
desirous of sparing the Minister of Justice a de-
feat, which would have compelled him to retire,
proposed that the debate on that law should be de-
ferred to next session, which is equivalent to the
reading of the Bill this day six months in England.
This was adopted by 41 against 17. There were,
in fact, only four Members in favour of the Ministe-
rial Bill.
London, England, 1851-08-04

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

An HON. MEMBER presented a petition from Poole,
praying that the Crystal Palace might be retained as a
winter garden.
Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the bar and brought
up the reply of her Majesty in answer to an address
of the House, praying that she might be gra-
ciously pleased to direct that the Crystal Palace
be preserved until the Ist of May next. The reply
was to the effect that it was necessary to consider care-
fully the engagements of the Royal Commissioners, and
that her Majesty had directed an inquiry to be made
into vistiou, matters of detail which must be ascertained
before any decision could be come to.—(Leer, hear )

London, England, 1851-08-04

PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. HENRY moved that the committal be postponed
until to-morrow, to give the public an opportunity of
considering the amendments that had been introduced
into it.
_ _ _

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was afraid the post-
ponement would be fatal to the Bill, and he therefore
hoped the motion would not be persevered in.
After a few words from Mr. BROTHERTON,
Mr. J. P. WESTHEAD said he had carefully exa-
mined the provisions of the Bill, and he thought the
measure was an exceedingly good one. He trusted the
motion for postponement would be withdrawn.
Mr. GREENE declared that the Bill was defective in
many of its details, and it was most unfair to press it
forward in this way at the eleventh hour. The question
of costs was not the only evil which the public com-
plained of in this case. The six months' right of speci•
fication was a far greater evil, but the Bill took no notice
of that, and he hoped the House would not allow it to
pass until it did. The Society of Arts, after a diligent
inquiry, had made an able report upon this subject, and
any legislation to be satisfactory to the public should
be founded upon the recommendations which that report
contained. Feeling this Bill to be an interference with
the privileges of inventors, he should feel it his duty
to give the Bill all the opposition in his power.
Mr. LABOUCHERE acknowledged the subject to be
one of great importance and intricacy, but he thought
it had been sufficiently discussed on the second reading
of the Bill. It had been acknowledged by all scientific
men acquainted with the subject to ba a Bill calculated
to work a great improvement.
Mr. RICARDO said he,did not think the House and
the country had not time to consider the Bill, and he
urged upon the Government the necessity of granting a
Committee in the next session to inquire into the whole
subject of patent laws.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS complained of the conduct of
the Government in forcing upon the House the consi-
deration of a Bill of 54 cluases in the last three or four
days of the session, when the majority of Honourable
Members bad left town.
The AT PORNEY-GENERAL said he was asto-
nished that the Hon. Member for Lambeth should object
to the passing of a Bill, the object of which was to
cheapen the taking out of patents to an immense extent.
Mr. MUNTZ did not approve of all the provisions of
the Bill, but he should support it as it was, rather than
have none at all. That was the opinion of his con-
stituents.

Sir DE LACY EVANS supported the Bill.
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.
Clauses 1, 2 and 3 were agreed to without discussion.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Fortunately for the visitors of Saturday, the price of
admission was ss. instead of Is., in consequence of which
the number was limited to 8,000 or 9,000. Had there
been 50:000 or 60,000 persons present, the heat would
have been quite insupportable, the thermometer, both
within and without doors, reaching to nearly 80 degrees, i
and not a breath of air abroad. The building was n a
great measure left to take care of itself for the last two
days, most of the officials, Royal Commissioners, and exe-
cutive committee being absent at the Parisian fetes..

" The doctors, of whom three have

it a typhoidal chol( ra, and others, with great reason,
believe it to be a disease brought into Canary in January
last through the illicit importation of a quantity of wool
from the coast of Africa by a fishing vessel. Certain it
is, that ever since that period there has been mortal
sickness progressively inercabing there, until the full
heat of summer, aided by. want of attention and other
causes, has brought it to its acme. Our alarm, as you
may well suppose, is very great; hitherto, thank God,
our island continues free from infection, and every pre.
caution is taken to prevent intercourse with Canary
except through the quarantine vessel employed by Go-

STOCK ExcitArtGE.—The advance which took place in the
early part of the week in the value of Railway Stock has,
upon the whole, been pretty well supported, although at the
close of business to-day quotations were a shade lower than
they were yesterday. The traffic returns do not, however,
influence prices to the extent which might have been ex:,
petted, and now the London season is about to close, in el!
probability passenger traffic, in comparison with what it has
been during the last two months, will be small and un-
promising. The following were among the closing pric es on

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES•
The Independance of Brussels says :—" We have
received important news from Denmark. The extreme
Danish party has been vanquished. The intervention
of Russia has caused the demands of the German
princes in the question of the duchies to prevail.
Things will be re-established as they were before the
revolution of 1848. Neither Schleswig nor Holstein
is to be incorporated in Denmark. Schleswig will
not send deputies to the Diet at Copenhagen. M.
Charles Moltke has been nominated special Minister
for that duchy, and as such will not be responsible to
the Danish Chambers. The two duchies will each
have an independent Assembly. In short the question
is solved according to German pretensions, and the
party for the total annexation of Schleswig has com-
pletely lost all influence at Copenhagen. The federal
troops will probably shortly evacuate the duchies."
