PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of Sept. 27, states that the
Russian General Mansuroff left that capital on the
previous day for Paris. "It is thought," says the
letter, "that his visit is connected with a political
object."
Another letter from Berlin, in the Precurseur
of Antwerp, says :—" It is feared that, if the ex-
port of specie does not soon decrease, the Prussian
Bank will be obliged to make a further advance in
its rate of discount. The question has been started
whether the bank can legally exceed 6 per cent. ;
but there can- be no doubt on the subject, as the
restrictive law only applies to loans on deposits."

SOUTHWARK.

A DISHONEST APPRENTIOE.—CharIes Mitxteell, a re-
spectable-looking lad, was brought before Mr. Seeker,
from Wandsworth House of Correction, by Sergeant
Gardner, 25 M, ohargod with unlawfully obtaining a
gold chain from Mr. James Pree, silversmith and
jeweller, Great Dover-road, Borough.
Mr. Pree said he knew the prisoner, as being brought
np by an independent gentl.a...n; named as

residing in Robbing-lane, Old Kent-road. He wasap-
prenticed to Mr. Jackson, a silversmith in the City. In
the early part of the year Mr. Housewood purchased a
chain of witness for him. In April last the prisoner
came to him and said he had lost his chain,' and Mr.
Housewood was going to present him with another.
The prisoner selected one, saying that it was for Mr.
Housewood, and that it would be paid for in a fortnight.
As soon as the prisoner was committed to Wandsworth,
he found out that Mr. Housewood had neither entered
the chain nor sold it, but that he had pledged it shortly
after he had it in his possession. The chain produced
by the pawnbroker was the same the prisoner took
away.
Committed for trial.

THE CRIMUN BANQUET.

The subscriptions continue to pour in steadily,
if not rapidly. A meeting of the committee is
appointed to be held on Friday next, and if the
gross sum then recAved reaches to a certain fixed
figure, it is said that the day and the site of the
demonstration will be finally decided upon. 'As
far as can be judged, the arrangements already
made hold out a, hope that the Dublin banquet will
realise the most sanguine expectations of the pro-
moters and subscribers of all degrees.

STATE OF TRADE.

M, 3.
We have had a very dull
a AndNCHESTER inactive market.SEPT. There
is a general opinion that cotton will be dearer, yet in the
present state of the money market buyers are disinclined
to operate, so that manufacturers, who have already had
to pay very full rates for their raw material or for yarns'
are placed in circumstances of great discouragement.
The rather better inquiry for India reported last week
led to stocks being somewhat lightened, so far aa
46-inch shirtings were concerned ; but there has been
little or no business to-day, and the market is, on
the whole, flatter than on Tuesday last. The
yarn market is firm, but in other respects it is in
much the same unsatisfactory state as the cloth. Spin-
ners,
market com
arepelled by the hardening tendency of the cotton
, asking more for yarns, while both manufac-
turers and shippers aronwilling to give last quotations.
Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :
a very dull, inactive market to-
,c We have to report
day, as buyers of nearly all descriptions of goods are
reluctant, in thecontracts state of the money market, to
give out further , hut confine themselves to the
orders only. There was a little
m tioni
n the latter part of last week to operate
exoerceudtiiosnpo ofsi pressing
in 40-inch shirtings for India, which was freely met by
holders,
which. were beginning to accumu
late,
- and stevs,
iderably reduced, and the previous down
ward were cons
tendency of prices stopped ; ,but this improved
demand appears to have been satisfied, and to-day they
are as flat as before."
.....___

LEEDS, SEPT. 30.
There is no alteration to report in the business at our
cloth balls this morntmg. The demand for heavy goods
was brisky though fur ordinary cloths the bale was dull,
except in whites. At Huddersfield this morning there
was only a small attendance of buyers, who made but
few purchases in lOw unions. Business generally is
reported unusually quiet.
BRADFORD, SEPT. 29.
The incessant rain to-day has occasioned a very flat
market. There is an extremely limited attendance, trade
is dull, and business in each branch exceedingly meagre.
In the few transactions that have taken place, however,
in combining wools and yarns full prices have been ob•
tained. Ili manufactured goods there has scarcely been
a piece sold.
In the Halifax market the inquiry for some descrip-
tions of worsted goods is somewhat better, and stocks in
the hands of manufacturers are low ; they complain that
the prices do, Jim improve in
proportion to the rate
u blamed for wool. Twist yarns are rather dearer, with
a fair demancti but carded qualities are not muoh asked
for. More money is required for fine bright-haired
wools, to which the spinners are compelled to accede
The growers are reported as holding out for still higher
prices, and stocks in the bands of Halifax staplers are
not very extensive.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange yeste,"day,
after further deliberation upon the questions arising
out of the recent frauds in Crystal Palace sharer,
adopted the following resolution :—" Resolved',
that where shares in the Crystal Palace Compan,f
have been duly registered and acknowledged by th..e
company, the committee decline to interfere." As
regards a considerable number of shares in respect
of which, although transfers have been sent in to
the company, certificates of registration have not
been issued by the company's recognised officer, we
understand that the committee have come -to the
resolution to trace such bargains to the or.gina3.
seller, who will then be required to supply other
shares of acknowledged validity. The• decision of
the committee appears to be based upon the view
that the Ibuyer of these shares considers d that be
was buying the genuine stock of the company, avd
that consequently his right must be maintained.
In each case the decision of the committee refen4
merely to the internal discipline of the Stock Ex-.
change, and affects in no degree the responsibility
of the Crystal Palace Company to make good the
losses sustained through the fraudulent practices:
of their recognised officer. With reference to this:,
point it may be useful if we publish the Bth clause.
of the Crystal Palace Company's deed of settle-
e I went, which is rather curiously worded. It rune
as follows :
" Register of shareholders to be conclusive as to the
lawful proprietorship of shares.-8. That any person
who shall from time to time be or appear registered in
the register of shareholders as the proprietor of anr
share shall, unless and until his share shall by operation.
of law or otherwise become vested in some other person,
be treated and recognised by the company as the lawful •
and rightful proprietor of such share, although in fad be
may have been improperly so registered, and no other
person claiming or entitled to be the proprietor of such
share shall have any claim against the compaiu in re' •
spent thereof but only against the person who shall be 00
registered and his representatives."

formation of Nicolaieff into a purely commercial
port, the non-reconstruction of the demolished
fortresses on the eastern coast of the Euxine from
Yenikale to Batouba, and the suppression for all
military purposes of any others, the admission of
consuls, 45c. The fact is, the Emperor is, from
causes more than once referred to, anxious to finish
the business, and the opinion is generally that we
have very nearly reached the conclusion.
The 3fonitcur says
"Accounts received direct from General Wil-
liams, the defender of Kars, state that his health
is almost completly established. He speaks highly
of the manner in which General Mouravieff has
treated him."

General Baron Subervie, who was Minister of
War under the Provisional Government, has just
died at his chateau of Parenchere (Gironde), aged
84. The deceased took part in all the wars of the
Empire, and commanded the advanced guard at
the battle of Waterloo.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of the 10th, in the Cologne
Gazette, gives the following particulars of the duel
which has taken place between M. de Hinckeldf
and M. de Rochow
4, The cause of the duel is stated to he that M. de
Hinckeldy having, a few days ago, presented himself io
uniform at a place where a carousal, organised by the
princes of the blood and by some members of the highest
nobility, was taking place, M. de Rochow, one of the corn'
missariei, went up to him and told him no police agent,'
were wanted there. This led to words, and subsequently
to a challenge. The duel took place in the Grunewald
forest. M. de Hinckeldy's second was M. de Munhae•
sen, a head clerk in the Ministry of the Interior. M. do
Rochow's second was his own brother. The duel well
with pistols. The distance was 15 paces, and each of
the adversaries could advance five paces. It was agreed
that if one pistol missed fire the duel was to recom•
in n-:e. M. de Hincke'dy fired first, but the pistol did ,
not go off; his adversary, who had his finger on the
trigger, had just time to raise his weapon. On the
second attempt both p:stols went off. M. de Roche,
was not hip, but M. de Hinckeldy fell dead, the ball
having pierced his heart. It is said that the second
of the latter at once went to Charlottenburg to se'
quslnt the King of the feral event-. M. de Rochow
immediately atter placed himself at the dispo al of
the Minister of the la.° i)r, and of the MilitarY
Commandant, blajoisGeneral Von &hitch tag, a‘ •
the same time requesting them to allow bun to
remain at lar:.fe for a few days. People are our'
prised that M. de Hiackeldy should have consented
to fight with pistols, labouring as he did under excel'
sive short-sigl.tedness. The body was brought back
to Berlin from Witzleben, near Charlottenburg. During •
the whole night before the duel, M. de Hinckeldy had
been busy putting his affairs in order. M. de Hinckeldb
formerly a councillor of the government at Mersebergo
had been appointed president of police at Berlin in 1845,
and has been director-general since 1854. He was also
a superior privy councillor with the rank of councillor
of the first class, director at the Home-office, a member
of the Council' of State, and decorated with 12 orderst
among which were the Red Eagle of the second claot
with the oaken garland, the Order of St. John, and the
Order of Hohenzolfern."

(Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.)
THE PRIZE-FIGHT AT DARTFORD.

MicAael .Madden and Jeremiah NPO7I, surrendered to
take their trial for the manslaughter of John Jonei.
Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Ribton, and Mr. Campbell con-
ducted the prosecution ; Mr. Kennedy (who was speci-
ally retained) and Mr. Harrison appeared for the
prisoners.
This charge arose out of the prize fight that took place
on the Dartford marehes on the 11th of December last.
The prisoner Madden and the deceased were the prin.
cipals on the occasion. The other prisoner (Noon) wa,
Madden's second.
Toe witnesses who were examined for the prosecotion
evidently gave their evidence very unwillingly, and some
of them would even go so far as to swear that Madden
was not the man who was engaged in the conflict with
the deceased.
Mr. Justice Coletidge inquired of the learned counsel
for the proi-ecution, in the course of the case, whether
they were prepared to bring forward any further evidence
as to the cause of death, and he was infcrmed that they
were not in a position to do so.
The learned Judge, upon this, said that whatever
opinion they might form in their own minds in reference
to the case, they must deal with it as they would with
any other, and act only upon the evidence laid before
them ; and it appeared to him that upon the facts before
the Court, there was nothing to justify the jury in find-
ing the prisoners, or either of them, guilty of the crime
of manslaughter.
The Jury consequently returned a verdict of Net
I Guilty, and the prisoners were discharged.

Monsieur le Commandant-en-Chef,—The inquiries

herewith to your Excellency the certificate of the death
of that Officer.

Au Quartier General

His Excellency General Sir Wm. Codrington, &c.

Sebastopol, Feb. 29.

My Lord—l regret extremely to have to inform your
lordship of the death of Major Rankeu, of the Royal
Engineers.
He had the superintendence of the operations ne-
cessary for the destruction of the large White Bariacks
in the Karabelnala, where part of the mines were fired
yesterday afternoon, but several of them did not explode.
Major Ranken, iu the energetic performance of his
duty, seems to have proceeded to light the fuse again,
in several places where the connection had failed. It
appears the powder hose, as well as the fuse, ignited—
the explosion took place and buried him under the
ruins of part of the wall.
Energetic efforts were made at once to discover the
body, and the removal of the ruins began and con-
tinued throughout the night. This morning the body
was found. Death must have been immediate ; and
thus this excellent and gallant officer, who had done
good duty in the siege, and at the assault of the Re-
dan, lost his life, from eagerness to complete the work
entrusted to him--I have, &c.,
