:Ill?. THAW:EI:AY 1N EDINBURGH,

The Scotsman contains a summary of the first of Mr.
Thackeray's lectures on "The Four Georges." There
was -a crowded audience in the Mu.ic Bali--" not the
le:s fit that, they were not few."
The lecture comprised a rapid sketch of the Guelph
family, from William the Pious, aho sang psalms with
Doctor Luther and frugally ordered his quiet "palace"
at Zell, to the German Prince who married his de-
scendant, and sorrowfully left his Hanoverian Court to
assume the Crown of England. Thus tracing the ramifi-
cation 3 of the Guelph family, he at last centred the in-
terest in the Court of Hanover, to the Elector of which
the Princess Sophia, nine years after eel- uncle, Charles I
lost his head, along with her scanty trousseau the re.
version of the Englssh Crown. Quoting a description
of the ladies of the Court of Hanover in the time of the
Electres3 Sophia's fOl3, Geoiga Lewis, who actually
realiped this reversion, in which description "sly Mark
Wortley" represents them as having all most beautiful
rosy cheeks and alabaster foreheads, complexions
that look charmingly in candle-light, and
never leave them until their death) except when
they go too near the fire), the 1 c urer took a peep
into the guard-room, the pantry, the kitchen, the cellar,
and the plate-room, calling up thrones uf pages, yeomen,
cookA, scullions, confectioners, butlers, and keepers of
the plate—and only two washerwomen for the whole
court. At the ti,ce that Geore,e I, left his dear old Dent-
schlaal fir England feudalism had been fairly
.beaten
down by monarchy—the rule of the nobles had entirely
succumbed to that of the Sovereign. Princes of the
blood were proun to carry candles before Louis
XIV., and quarrels originated between great nobles
' about which be should be privileged to hold tl •
loyal shirt when his most Christian Majesty changed
teat garment. The shrewd and cynical German had
sufficient penetration to see through the pretence of
loyalty with which he was received in England, know-
ing that there were fifty heirs to the Crown nearer than
himself, and that he was there but by accident.. M.,
Keilmansegge, surnamed " the Elephant," whom le
made Countess of Darlington and her rival, surnamed
" the Maypole," whom he made Duchess of Ronda',
had reluctantcy followed hint to England ; ano
to them he would s •y—" Come, let us go to my
privwe rooms, and have oysters, and beer, and Rhine
wine, and let us leave these bawling British with their
pretended loyalty." Of him, however, it must be said
that he was loyal to England.

HERAT.

The following extract is taken from a letter
which appears in the AI oniteur de l' Armee of the
sth, written, it is stated, by an European officer,
serving in the Persian army before Herat
"The Persian army consists of 2.5,000 infantry, of a
body of cavalry which occupies the whole- of the sur-
rounding country, and of a regular siege train, the whole
under the command of a General-in-Chief named
Tziz-Khan. The siege works are directed by a French
officer of great merit,, formerly a student at the Poly-
technic School. The batteries are commanded by Cap-
tain Kirziz, a Persian officer of considerable talent.
The cavalry is under the command of an Austrian
officer. The principal engineerir g operations are being
directed against Fort Nuucbky, which i 3 the key of
all the external works. By the latest accounts, dated
the 2a of September, the breaching batteries had opened
against the soe.thern face of this work, and if it were
taken, which appeared probable, the fall of Herat would
be certain. There would then be nothing to oppose to
the besieging army but an old bastioned wall, built in
1838, which could not resist a regular attack properly
led. An English officer, late of the Company's service,
directs the engineering operations within the town, but
Isa Khan's army is in a complete s ate of demoralisa-
tion, and every day numerous desertions go to swell the
.Persian ranks.

ITALY.

The following letter has been addressed by M
Mania to the Unione of Turin :

" Fame, Nov. 4,
" Sir,—Your Parisian correspondent has included me
among the parti,ans of Prince Murat. That statement IS
incorrect, and I hope you will permit roe to rectify it.
I rally to the flag of the national party, whote wish is
the independence and unification of Italy. I may accept
an advance, though slow, in the way which leads to a
final object, until an opportunity be presented of attain•
ing it completely ; but, in any case, I disapprove and re-
jec•:, every r:trogracle or divergent step, and I therefore
reject and disapprove the Muratist solution as anti-
national. The Muratist solution would not be progress,
but retrogre•sion. I, for our misfortune, it succeeded, it
would consolidate the Austrian domination in Northern
Italy; it would introduce in Naples an indirect foreign
dependence ; it would probably dismember Sicily, aad,
abandon it to another foreign influence, and it would
create a most serious obstacle to future unification.
Murat on the throne of Naples could not, even if he
wished, establish a national policy, nor a libaral policy.
Murat on the throne of Naples would be fatally, and by
the inevitable force of circumstances, the rival and the
antagonist of the House of Savoy, and necessarily the
friend and the ally, secret or avowed, of Austria, the
natural enemy of that house. .

" He who affirms that Murat, when King of Naples►
would give a liberal Constitution, form an alliance with
Piedmont, and furnish a contingent of troops for the war
against Austria, is either a dupe or a deceiver. Such
things Murat while a Pretender may promise, but that
promise Murat when King would not and could no
fulfil.
"Far from me any intention of personal offence.
speak not of the man, whom Ido not know. I speak
of the situation and its inevitable conditions. I sum uP
my intimate convictions in these words —he who is ge
partisan of Murat is a traitor to Italy. Accept, &c;:

THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE-MARKET.

Mr. H.ETATI:OR brought up a report, which state!,
" In proceeding to carry into. effect the Metropolis
Market Act several points have occurred which, in the
opinion of your committee, require the assistance of the
Legislature.
" The section which limits the power of letting to
one year should, in the opinion of your committee, be
extended to such term as your hon. Court may think
necessary.
" That the tolls and dues now authorised to be taken
in the market layers, &c., are adequate in many instances
to defray the necessary expenses of the market, and
make fair return for the capital expended thereon, we
therefore recommend that power should he applied for
to enable your hon. Court, with the sanction of the Board
of Trade, to increase the said tolls and dues, and from
time to time to diminish the same when it shall appear
they are more than sufficient to pay the legitimate ex-
penses of the market, and a reasonable annual sum in
liquidation of the money expended for the requirements
of the same.

" That the power to make bylaws should be altered
and enlarged.
" That the power contained in the act of the 21st of
Geo. 111., cap. 67, which authorises the Court of Alder-
men to make rules, orders, and ordinances for the driv-
ing of cattle are insufficient for the purposes intended,
and we therefore recommend that that power should be
repealed, and an extended power given to your hon.
Court to make rules and regulations for the like purpose.
"That the period for giving notices to Parliament has
now arrived, and your committee recommend that they
should be empowered to give the necessary notices for a
bill to carry into effect the objects aforesaid.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, said that the act of Parliament by which the mar-
ket was now regulated was not the.act of the corporation
but of the Government. During the last year the com-
mittee had seen quite sufficient to induce them to take
some steps at the earliest possible opportunity to amend
the act, which did not work as satisfactorily as they
could have wished.

After a short conversation, in which several members
took part, the report was received.
At the termination of the business of the Court the
Lord Mayor thanked the members of the Court for the
assistaLce they had given him during his year of office.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of Eaglish wheat coastwise and by land
carriage continue very moderate, and the shovi of samples
in to-day's market was limited. All kinds, however, met
a dull inquiry, at prices barely equal to those realised on
Monday.
The imports of foreign wheat are 9,400 quarters. For
home consumption there was very little inquiry, yet im-
porters refused to accept lower terms. •
Fine barley was tolerably firm, but other kinds met a
dull inquiry. Malt sold slowly, at barely late rates.
We were barely supplied with oats, and the demand for
them ruled heavy, at Monday's decline.
Beans, peas, and flour sold to a fair extent, on former
terms.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Only a minierate supply of huts was on sale in to-day's
market; nevertheless, the demand for all breeds ruled
heavy, at Monday's prides. The show of sheep was limited,
yet the mutton-trade was inactive, on former terms. We
wore scantily supplied with calves, in which a steady busi-
ness was transacted, at an improvement in value of 4d per
81bs. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81bs. There was a
moderate demand for pigs, at full prices. Mitch cows were
dull, at from 14L to 191. each, including their small calf.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before
.the Lord Chancellor.)
IN RE BESSEMER'S PATENT.

Mr. Cairns this morning applied on the petition of
Mr. J. Birch, of the Bowling Iron Works, Bradford, to set
aside the patent lately granted to Mr. Bessemer for cer-
tain improvements in the manufacture of iron. The
learned counsel, as the ground of his application, stated
that the petitioner had obtained a patent for a certain
discovery in the manufacture of iron, in June, 1355,
which was in effectp recisely the same as that for which
Mr. Bessemer had obtained a patent in 1856. The learned
counsel read a letter, the specifications of the patent
of Mr. Birch, and contended that if Mr.
Bessemer claimed a patent for the introduction
of atmcspher:c air under the surface for the purpose of
deoxydising the metal, that was embraced in the patent
granted to Mr. Birch. If the claim for a patent rested
on the completion of the process of refining, reducing,
and puddling at one operation, that .process was also
embraced in the patent of Mr. Birch. He fully believed
that Mr. Bessemer bad really made the discovery men-
tioned in the patent, but then it was in the Jane of the
present year ; but his client had made the discovery some
time previously, and Birch'sdiscovery had been in opera-
tion for a year and a quarter at the Bowling Iron Works,
at the time that Bessemer's patent was taken out.
The arguments in the case occupied the Court th•
whole of the day.

A FRENCEI SWINDLER.

A soldier of the artillery of the guard named Boyer,
wearing the Crimean medal, was on Wednes lay tried
by the Military Tribunal for swindling and for illegally
wearing a costume. The swindling, it appeared from the
evidence, consisted in his having caused himself to be
driven about Paris in a cab for five hours, without hav-
ing the means of payment ;, and the second part of the
charge was based on the fact that he had, for s ime rea-
son not known, changed his uniform for the costume of
a sailor. In answer to the accusation of swindling, be
pretended that he had meant to pay the cabman, he had
lost a piece of 10f. ; but in answer to the other charge
he said nothing. The Tribunal sentenced him to two
months' imprisonment. It was stated that he had been
three months in priaonlawaiting his trial, so that each of
his five hours' ride cost him a month's confinement.
The same Court afterwards tried a soldier named Dom-
front, of the lst Grenadier Guards, for robbery. An
invalide named Elin said that one day as he was going
along t`se Rue du Back, the prisoner, whom he did not
know,
stopped him and exclaimed, " I say, old fellow, I
am about to get something to drink, but I don't like
drinkine• alone; so come with me!" The invalide, noth.
ing loth', accompanied the man to a public house, and
there they passed some time in tippling, each paying in
turn. In the evening they went to different houses in the
neighbourhood of the Ecnle Militaire, and afterwards
the invalide, at his request, agreed to accompany him
part of the way along the Champ de Mars. In the' middle
of. the Champ the grenadier said, " I have f irgotten my
cigar case
hheasvaeidy,ou one ? " "An old pensioner with
a cigar ease'" cried the other, laughing, and producing
his snuff-box, his puree, which contained Bfr., and '•ise
him and toeie
a.,out me." The grenadier snatched the purse from
to
eig`h7.heis,ehaereintvhaeliodnelyatthfiirnsgtstlhocuagrhryt
that he was in play, and called after him to come
• back, but the man continued to run. The nex'; day the
invalide complained to the colonel of the regiment, and
the man was arrested. It was then ascertained that, on
returning to his barracks on the previous evening, he
had shown his comrades a purse containing Bf., which he
said he hid found, and he tore the puree into shreds.
The prisoner, who was stated by his serJeant to be a no-
terious piiferer, was sentenced to a year's imprisonment.

THE PRINCEITES.—In consequence of the curious re•
velations which have recently appeared in several of the
Somersetshire newspapers in reference to the leading
members of the e,tablishment at Spaxton, near Bridge-
water, known as the Agapemone or "Abode of Love,"
a prospectus has just been issued announcing shortly the
appearance of a newspaper to be published weekly at
Bridgewater, under the title of me Leader and Somer..
seF;shirentan, for the purpose of defending the docniaes
promulgated by Mr. Prince and his followers. It is stated
that the new journal will be edited by one of the 4143-
mented brethren within the Tr.'alls of the " Abode."

Yesterday a court (the last of the Mayoralty) was held
for the despatch of public business.

THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE

Mr. Alderman CUBITT brought up a--;e—port from the
police committee, to whom certain matters bad been
referred in connection with the Commissioner of Police.
IThe committee stated that while they could not entirely
concur in the conclusions or inferences drawn by the
Commissioner from the facts which he had submitted,
nor admit that any obligations had been incurred by
1 the corporation which had not been met, yet, in consi-
deration of the long and efficient services of .the Com-
missioner, the committee begged to repeat the recom.
meudation made in their reprt of June last, "that the
desire of the Commissioner should be complied with by
an allowance being made to him of 2001. per annum in
lieu of his being provided with a residence, such allow-
ance to commence from Christinast fast."

Mr. Alderman CUl3lTT—Movedtn;idie report be re-
ceived, and that the Court agree with it.
Mr. AERAEIAM said he did not agree with the commit-
tee in their report, and that a worse principle could not
be adopted than that of allowing the Commissioner of
Police to reside five or six miles from the City. The
chief magistrate, in the person of the Lord Mays r,
always resided in the City, and no distinction ought
therefore to be made in this respect with regard to the
Commissioner. He concluded by moving by way of
amendment, "That the report of the committee do lie
upon the table."
After a short discussion,
Mr. ROWE seccnded the amendment.

The amendment was put and carried by a very large
majority.
A division then took place, when the numbers were—

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

DURHAM UNIVERSITY.
The following answer has been received from Bishop
Maltby, to the address of the Warden, Masters, and
Scholars of the University of Durham, on occasion of
his resignation of the see of Durham :
" London, Nov. 3, 1856.
"My dear Mr. Warden and Gentlemen,—I acknow-

NEWARK—Nov. 5.

At our corn exchange to-day we had a full attendance,
and good supplies of grain. Dry samples of wheat realised
the prices of the previous week, but damp parcels could
scarcely be turced into money.
Wheat, white 75s to 775, red 68s to 70s; barley, malting
48s to 50s, grinding 348 to 365; oats, 24st. 35s to 38s, 22st,

LOUTH—Nov. 5.

The corn market was very dull, and much of the supply
out of condition. The be,;t samples of wheat declined. 2s
per qr, and inferior sorts were difficult to sell at a greater
reduction. Barley continues scarce, and was rather higher.
Other sorts much the same as last (-motel.

COLONIAL.

TEA. —A large business has been done in this article by
private contract (chiefly congous), at full prices, viz., is
Old to is 4id per lb. Young hyson brought 1s Old per lb.
The last arrivals of the new crop of congons were eagerly
sought after at is 9d per lb. Common congou 91d to 9.d
per lb.
SUGAR —Tho supplies have been very limited, and full
prices were obtained for all descriptions. The stocks on
hand at the present time are estimated to be about 12,000
tons more than at this time last year, but prices are lower
by Hs to 13a per cwt. The refines market is rather firmer,
there being a good demand for home consumption.
COFFEE.—The supplies continue very limited. Planta-
tion Ceylon brought fully previous rates. Mocha has been
in demand, and the supply being very moderate previous
quotations were fully supported.
RICE--The market ruled very inactive, and prices gene-
rally were rather easier. Hallam fair quality brought Os
3d to Os 6d, and low mid white lOs 2el to 1 a 3d per cwt.
Rust—holders continue to demand high rates, conse-
quently very little business has been done. Prices as com-
pared with those current at this time last year show a slight
decline.
SPICES —Ginger has been in demand, at enhanced prices;
but other descriptions ruled steady. Cloves, however,
were rather easier.,
SALTPETRE —The market has been very excited, and
but few parcels wore on sale, and prices advanced about 2s
to 2s Gd per cwt.
COCHINEAL—The transactions in this article have been

TALLOW—The market has been dull, and but little busi-
ness transacted. P. Y.C., on the spot, 55s Gd to 55s 9d ;

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Only a moderate supply of beasts was on sale in to-day's
market ; nevertheless, the demand for all breeds ruled
heavy, at Monday's prices. The show of sheep was limited,
yet the mutton-trade was inactive, on former terms. We
were scantily supplied with calves, in which a steady busi-
❑ess was transacted, at an improvement in value of 4d per
81bs. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81bs. There was a
moderate demand for pigs, at full prices. Mileh cows were
dull, at from 141. to 19/. each, including their small calf.

.FIEALTII OF LONDON DURING TSB

WEEK.

( Fron the Report of the Registrar•O#neral.)

One thousand one hundred and fiftyone deaths were
registered in London during the week that ended on
Saturday, oth February. The number is below the
average, but it is 202 above the number in the previous
week. Nineteen persons, namely, 9 children and 10
adults of 20 to 60 years of age, died of small-pox, 31
died of scarlatina, 42 of boopiog•cough, and 65 of
typhus, which is now the reigning epidemic,. Of 127
persons who died of consumption 77 'Vero of the age
20-40, and 36 were of the age 40-60.
40 persona died of apoplexy, 28 of paralysis, during
the week, or 68 iu the aggregate ; whereas the deaths
from these diieases in the week preceding were 21 from
apoplexy, and 13 tram paralysis. These and other
sudden deaths have been frtquent, and account for a
part of the increase in the mertality. Bronchitis,
pneumonia, and asthma were fatal in 236 oases, many
of them probably terminations or modifications of in•
fluenza.

23 death, from ♦iolent oeuees ere recorded: 12 by
burn, end scalds, 2 by hanging, to., 1 by suffocation,
2 by drowning, 3 by fraciures, 1 by wounds, and 2 by
other cansea.

570 males and 581 females died in the week ; 480
were children aid young person■ under 20 year. of
age ; 189 were of We ay. 20-40 ; 208 ware 461-80 ;
224 were 10-80 ; and 42 were of the age of 80 and
upwards.
The oldest person who died in the week was of the
age of 91 years.
The births of 895 boys and 391 girls, in all 1738
children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1346-55 the average
number was 1,591.
At the Ruyal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week ending February
the Oth was 29.840 in. The reading of the barometer
increases from 29.86 in. at the beginning of the week
to 29.95 in. by 10 h. a.m. on the 3d ; decreased to
29.85 in. by 3 h. p.m. on the 4th ; increased to 30.01
in. by $ h. p.m. on the sth ; decreased to 29'54 in. by
noon on the 7th ; increased to 29.90 ia. by noon on the
Bth ; decreased slightly by 3 b. p.m., anti increased to
29.93 in. by 9 la. p.m. on the same day then decreased
to 29.80 in. by the end of the week. On Sunday the
sky was free from cloud throughout the day, on the
following days of the week the sky for the most part
was overcast. The wind blew briskly from the south-
west, and rain fell on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday :
on Wednesday there Wag a new moon, accompanied
with a hard wind and driving misty rain. The mean
temperature of the air was 44.0 deg., which is 5 9 deg.
above the average of the same week in 38 years. The
entire range of temperature during the week was 29.1
deg., the highest was 58.0 deg. on Saturday, and the
lowest 23.9 deg. on Monday. The air on an average
was warmer by 10.5 dag. than tho preceding week.
The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was
39'8 deg.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Feb. 9.—The frost which came so unex-
pectedly upon us last week has as suddenly disap-
peared, and a south-west gale has completely dis-
persed the ice and melted the snow, so that we
have now quite the aspect of spring, and the com-
munications with Russia are again entirely free and
uninterrupted. A vessel arrived here two days ago
from Libau, with a cargo of Russian produce ; and
the captain reports that the imports there had been
so great that it was no longer possible to sell the
cargoes from the ship's side; and that it was no
easy matter to obtain storage for the great accumu-
lation of goods which had been received there ;
while the prices of imports had in consequence
so greatly fallen, and those of exports so much ad-
vanced, that the prospects of profit had most
materially diminished. So far as stopping the sup-
plies of warlike stores to Russia, a renewal of the
blockade would now be almost unnecessary ; but
from the great preparations at this moment making
by RuSsia in fitting out some of her largest and
best screw frigates, it is very desirable that the
vessels sent to the Baltic before an armistice is ar-
ranged should be of a class fully qualified to cope
with those of Russia now ready for sea, otherwise
some disaster may occur, the consequences of which
no opportunity might now be afforded to coun-
teract.

PlWit Of f;laLb.--The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 4 per mills premium (according to the last tariff),
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17e. 104 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.27 ;
and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.35, it follows that gold is about 0.32 per cent, dearer
in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg
the price of gold is 4261 per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13 5:1 ; and, the exchange at Ham-
burg on London at short being 13.7, it follows that gold
is 0.64 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for
bills at 60 days' sight is 108 k per cent , and, the
par of exchange between England and America being
109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nomi-
nally 1.08 per cent. against England; but, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of in-
terest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmite
aim of gold either way between the two ceuntrier,
