ACCIDENTS IN THE PARKS.

We can, on authority, contradict the rumour which
prevailed in the metropolis yesterday morning to the
effect that five fatal cases of accident bad occurred
during the progress of the fireworks, as we are in a posi-
tion to state that, as yet, only one of that unfortunate
character has come to the knowledge of the police au-
thorities, the deceased, George Smart, while standing
in the Green Park, having sustained a severe lacerated
scalp wound, occasioned by the falling of a rocket-stick,
from the effects of which he shortly died.
Several cases of serious, and in some cases, irrepar.
able injuries have been taken to St. George's Hospital,

Patrick Burke, smashed toe.
John Cussell, total blindness, by the falling of a rocket•
stick. _

Geo. Wilding, blindness of the right eye, which it is
feared will seriously affect the left.
Thos. Morris, severe fracture of the head, from the
falling of a rocket-stick.
Sarah Fenn, blindness of the right eye, and the left
slightly injured.
Augustus Long, run over by a private carriage in Pic.
cadilly, from which he has sustained serious injuries.
The whole of the above cases are under the immedi-
ate medical care of Dr. Duncan and Mr. Tatham.
Some serious cases of injury to the eye have also been
taken to the Charing,-cross Hospital. To this hospital an
unfortunate policeman, Alfred Butler, 35 E, was con-
veyed, having, while in the discharge of his duties, been ---,-
run over by a cab, and from which he has sustained &
severe fracture ol_the thigh.

THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette
of Berlin, states that the Emperor of Austria has
just given special orders, in consequence of the
representations of his Protestant subjects in re-
ference to the arbitrary measures to which they
have been subjected since the conclusion of the
Concordat, especially in matters concerning Pro-
testant burials. The Minister of the Interior has,
by his Majesty's directions, issued a circular to the
municipal and police authorities, recommending
them to oppose every measure calculated to wound
the feelings of Protestants. In his circular he states
that every subject of the Emperor enjoys the right
of protection in his religious belief after life as
during his existence, and that no obstacle is to be
placed in the way of religious ceremonies authorised
by the laws. In order to facilitate the burial in
their native land of individuals belonging to other
states of Germany, Austria has concluded a cen-
vention with Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover,
and other minor states, by which permission, in the
shape of a pass, will be granted for the transport of
a body from the territory of one of the contracting
parties into that of another.

Lord and Lady Ashburton and the Lord and Lady
Feversharn have arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, Folke-

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, May 28.—Last week a storm disturbed
the usual calm which distinguished the sittings of
the little chamber of Meiningen representatives.
The Ministry brought forward a message calling on
the house to give its assent to the publication of the
federal law for the " prevention and punishment of
abuses of the press." To this the committee de-
murred, saying that it saw no reason for hurry in
the matter, in small states, when great powers like
Prussia and Austria had hitherto abstained from
adopting, or at all events from publishing, this re-
strictive law. Thereupon the Minister replied by
denouncing the pretext for refusal to be "hamisch"
(knavish or malicious). Upon this a dozen mem-
bers rose, and demanded that the minister should be
forthwith called to order, and retractation of the
offensive expression ; but in lieu of submitting, the
offender declared that ministers were no ways sub-
servient to the chamber, and so the house deter-
mined to appeal to the sovereign. The quarrel was
settled, however, next day, by a queer compromise;
the minister retracted, and the house assented to
the measure.
_

Stutgard journals announce that the King of
Wurtemburg has sent a considerable number of
fine red deer from his preserves as a present to the
Emperor Napoleon, for the purpose of improving
the breed in the imperial forests.
The liberal side of the second chamber has lost
one of its most efficient members, by the resigna-
tion of M. Reichensperger, a counsellor of the Co-
logne Appeal Court.

LICHFIALD ELECTION.

The election of a representative in Parliament for
Lichfield, in the room of Lord Waterpark, resigned, took
place in the Guildhall of that city yesterday, The pro-
ceedings excited very little interest, although on Monday
it was confidently reported that an opposition candidate
would be proposed on the day of nomination, and this
report was confirmed by subsequent circumstances. Mr.
Carden, a member of the Oxford Circuit, accompanied
by Mr. Kenealy, the barrister, arrived in the course of
the evening, but after consulting the heads of the Con-
servative party, Mr. C. found that he had no chance of
success, and he declined offering himself as a candidate.
The hon, candidate was in court during the nomination,
but be tr,ok no part in the proceedings.
Tue Rev. T. B. FLOYER (the usual formalities having
been gone through) proposed the Hon. Francis Dudley
Stuart Ryder, commonly called Lord Sandon, as a fit
and proper person to represent the city of Lichfield in
Parliament. The noble viscount's views, as stated in his
address, were in accordance with his own, and ho doubt-
ed not that he would justify the choice of the electors.
Mr. HEWITT seconded the nomination ; and, no other
candidate being proposed, Lord Sandon was declared
duly elected.
Lord L',ANDON, in acknowledging the honour conferred
upon bim, professed himself to be of no party—for all
parties he believed were now extinct ; but, in the pre-
sent circumstances, he should give an independent sup-
port to the Government of Lord Palmerston. He would
support all measures which in his opinion would promote
the happiness and prosperity of the country, careless
what happened to its institutions if such blessings could
be secured. (Cheers.)
Dr. ROWLEY requested the noble lord to favour the
electors with his opinion with respect to the ballot.
Lord SANDON said he was not in favour of the ballot,
which he thought would rather promote than discourage
corrui t oa.
A vote-of thanks was then passed to the returning offi-
cer, and the court was dissolved.

FRENCH CENSUS.

The Moniteur publishes the following report t°
the Emperor from the Minister of War
sire,—A. decree of the 9,h February last prescri
bed
that the quinquennial census of the population of tbei,
Empire shall take place this year. The last csegup
taken in Algeria was in 1852, or one year later Oa_

CRYSTAL PALACE CONCERTS.

The third of the concerts in connection with the Royal
Italian Opera took place yesterday morning. The at-
tendance was larger than upon either of the two former
occasions, from which it may be inferred that the sale
of tickets especially for the day was accompanied with
advantage. The visitors filled the seats nearly to the
curtains next the transept, while the courts under the
galleries in the immediate vicinity of the orchestra were
crowded. The interest felt in these choice musical re-
unions is evidently on the inorease. We need hardly
do more than cite the encores of the day. They were
bestowed upon Gardoni in the romanza from the " Fa-
vorita," Grisi and Mario in the duet from the "Roberto
Devereux," Graziani in the aria from " Don Giovanni,"
Madame Didiee in that from the "Huguenots," and
Mario—most emphatically—in the serenade from the
" Pasquale." In fact the whole of the performers were
well received, for the visitors at these concerts are dis-
posed to enjoy what is set before them to the utmost ;
and that they confer their applause with a right good
will is unmistakeable. Grisi and Mario were both in
excellent voicc. One of the finest exploits of the morn-
ing was the delivery by Madame Jenny Ney of the
great scena from the " Oberon," which she gave with a
force and dramatic purpoie entitling her to unbounded
praise. On this occasion Mr. Costa did not conduct the
orchestra, but his place was most efficiently filled by
M, Sainton.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1856.

The Appellate Jurisdiction (House of Lords)
Bill last night received its second reading.
Although we fully concurred in the decision that
refused to recognise the validity of a seat in the
" hereditary " branch of the Legislature, accom-
panied merely by a Life Peerage, still we felt

that a large and comprehensive measure of Peerage
Reform was urgently required. Bnt that im-
portant alteration should be effected by a solemn
and well-considered Act of Parliament, and not
by the undue extension of an alleged prerogative
of the Crown, which, if it ever existed, had be-
come obsolete, not having been exercised for more
than four centuries. We felt that, with the pre-
vailing German influence, and the desire already
manifested to abrogate, so far as practicable, the
recognised and constitutional functions of both
Houses, it was dangerous to sanction any experi-
ment that might constitute a precedent under
which the power of the Executive might be
greatly increased. If the validity of the WENs-
LEYDALE Patent had been affirmed, there would
be no limitation to the privilege of creatinc, a
number of Life Peerages, sufficient to constitute
a good working majority for the Minister of the
day. Not merely one, but one hundred Life Peers
pretexts.
might be created on the most frivolous
Every succeeding Administration would, delibtless,
be willing to avail itself of so powerful a weapon
against its political opponents, and the indepen_
dente of one of the co-ordinate branches of the
Legislature would thus in time be completely sub-
verted. The extent of the remedy should be
limited to the exigency. It sleould not be re-
quired to burn down a pig-stye in order to obtain
a joint of roast pork, or to I.urchase a milch cow
if an additional pint of milk were required. Be-
sides, the remedy 'should be prescribed by Parlia-
ment, and not by ono of its branches. It should
be provided by an act of the whole body, not by
the simple volition of a single constituent member
thereof, whose alleged privileges require to be
moat jealously watched.

The supposed necessity arose from the note-
_rious deficiencies of the appellate jurisdiction
of the House. These deficiencies were univer-
sally admitted. There was not a single person,
Noble or Commoner, who had hardihood sufficient
to allege that the tribunal which might over-rule
the unanimous judgment of the Judicial Bench
WWI is a Satisfactory condition. It had, in fact,

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day).

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
The only cases left in this court were those of John
.41twahain and TVillian Atwell, who were charged with
passing forged cheques, by means of persons who ad-
vertised for situations. The prisoners were tried sepa-
rately, and the cases were proceeding when we went to
press.

THIRD COURT.
(Before W. Prendergast, Esq.► Q.C.)
Henry Char well, William Martin, Charles Peshell,
John Tillett, and John Sales, were indicted for stealing
a quantity of plate, valued at about 5001., the property
of Richard Trott Fisher.
Mr. Gifford prosecuted, and Mr. M'Enteer, Mr.
Par7y, and Mr. Cooper defended.
This case also was likely to last the entire day,
as the prosecution had not closed when this edition
tl
went to press. Charmll had been butler to the pro-
secutor, and had feigned a story of the place having
been broken into, and the other prisoners had been
seen at the prosecutor's house upon the night of the

robbery.
This was the last case of the session.

FIRE AND Loss OF Two LIVES.—On Thunday night
a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Mitchiner, vene-
tian blind and packing case manufacturer, St. Ann's-
court, D; an street, Soho. Mr. Mitchiner, his son and
danehter, occupied the first floor, and several other
families tenanted a portion of the building. The
back attic, where the fire originated, was rented by
a person named Dobbinson, and Mr. Bowler, his wife
and three children, resided in the room adjoining. The

that two children, Eliza and George Bowler, were found
burnt to death in one of the rooms. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN (Mr. John Parson) stated his
belief that Sir M. Peto could not accept the office of
direettir unless he were released from • his existing en.
.gagements with the company. At the same time he
thought it highly desirable, for their interests, that Sir
M. Peto should be upon the board ; and addedthat Mr.
Busby, in the event of his being elcted, had offered to
retire in favour of Sir M. Peto, when a fitting opportu-
nity occurred for his so doing.
Mr. BIGGAR requested the solicitor of the company to
rive his opinion-with regard to the eligibility of Sir M.
Pete as a director.
Mr. RUMMELL took it that a contract was. in exist-
ence between the company and Sir M. Pete, and, under
those circumstances, he considered he was not qualified
to accept the office of director.
The CHAIRMAN, after some conversation, decided that
he would put the names of all the candidates proposed
individually or associated id the several lista published.
The mutt of the show o hands was as follows :

RE f URN OP ME CRIMEAN _HEROES.

The question how and when the return of the
soldiers who have so nobly fought and 'bled in the
Crimea can be restored to their homes, and the
happy families who await so anxiously their return,
would soon be accomplished were there but even a
faw such transports as the steamer Pacific. They
would make short work of it if they came up to the
extraordinary running of this vessel. The Pacific
left Portsmouth on the 27th of April, and having
coaled at Malta, went on to Balaklava, where she
embarked 775 men, and 25 officers (in all 801), these
she took to Spezzia, in the Gulf of Genoa, and
landed them on the 22d inst. ; thus occupying
from Portsmouth to Balaklava, and back to Spenia,
only 25 days, out of which she was 8 days in port ;
so that she must have averaged throughout that
period a run of 344 miles per day, or 141 miles per
hour since leaving Portsmouth. She has been
ordered back to Balaklava. As the troops above-
mentioned were on board only 5 days and 22 hours,
and allowing time for coaling, she would, by two
voyages per month, herself remove 10,000 troops
in six months.

BRIGANDAGE IN GREECE.

In the Greek Chamber of Deputies on the..sth of
May there was a very interesting discussion on the
convention between the kingdom of Greece an:d the
Porte for the suppression of brigands. If wo may
rely upon the statement made by the Greek 3 (Mis-
ter for Foreign Affairs, the energy of the govern-
ment, the zeal of its officials, and the courage
of its troops, have actually reduced the ervil of
brigandage so far as they have authority to act
within the Greek territory itself, and would have
abolished it altogether but for the obstacles which
a different sovereignty places in the way of their
pursuit of the brigands across the frontier.. This
difficulty, which the Minister poetically com-
pared to that which the Greek hero in the• fable
experienced when he found the monster with
whom he was wrestling renewing his pernicious
strength every time lie approached his native soil,
is to be removed by the convention lately agreed
to with Turkey. Tile engagements are reciprocal,
and for this common object. The soldiers of either
state may advance beyond the frontier, in pursuit
of persons whether foreigners or natives, who have
committed crime in the state to which the sol diers
belong ; but they are prohibited from any inha-
bited place, and they must not come near the posts
occupied by the military of the state into which
they have penetrated. With these restrictions, no
definite limit, as to distance from the frontier, is
assigned for their right to traverse the territories
of the state neighbouring their own. Each of the
contracting parties engages to expel, not only cri-
minals, but deserters from the army of its neigh-
bour, though it does not engage to deliver them up
to their own sovereign. Greeks may be tried and
punished, when apprehended in Greece, for crimes
committed by them in Turkey ; but this, as ex-
plained by the minister, is no innovation, the
principle having been recognised in the former
commercial treaty. One or two of the de-
puties expressed their apprehensions of con-
fusion and conflict arising from the mixture
of Greek and Turkish troops, and Greek and
'Turkish thieves on the border, and patrio-
tically disapproved the article relative to the
expulsion, which they regarded as equivalent to the
extradition of deserters; but the prevailing senti
ment of the Chamber was that of congratulating
the Government upon having adopted a measure
so decidedly in the interests of civilisation and good
order, and -having thereby given practical effect,
at this early period, to the declaration of the great
powers in the treaty of peace, by which the Otto-
mana member of the
Eu ropempireeanfamisilyreocfongantiisoends. The projet de loi, toas
incorporate the treaty, was passed by 68 votes
against 2.

A gentleman well acquainted with the exact state of
things in Hungary gives a very unfavourable account of
that Crown Land in as far as the security of the life
and property of persons who live in remote country
placers iN concerned.

SCOTCH AND IRISH POOR.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the President of the
Poor-Law Board if it was his intention to persevere
with the Scotch and Irish Pauper R9tnovals Bill during
the present session, in opposition to the numerous peti-
tions that had been received from all parts of the
country, as well as from the metropolis, against the
?ending provi,ions of the measure ?
Mr. BOUVERIE Raid he certainly intended to' p er-
severe with the bill, but if ho was opposed by the Scotch
and Irish members the chances of the bill passing would
be very precarious.

Sir C. NAPIER gave notice that, on ithe 3d of June,
he would ask the First Lord of the Treasury wbether he
would have any objection to lay cn the table of the house
certain returns relating to the manning of the Baltic
fleet, when it wa,; under, his command ?
Lgrd PALMERSTON begged to ask a question of
the hon. member for Inverness as to the time he intended
to bring on his motion relative to enlistment ?
Mr. H. BAILLIE said it was his intention to bring
on the subject on the house going into committee on the
Army Estimates.

THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette
of Barlin, states that the Emperor of Austria has
just given special orders, in consequence of the
representations of his Protestant subjects in re-
ference to the arbitrary measures to which they
have been subjected since the conclusion of the
Concordat, especially in matters concerning Pro-
testant burials. The Minister of the Interior has,
by his Majesty's directions, issued a circular to the
municipal and police authorities, recommending
them to oppose every measure calculated to wound
the feelings of Protestants. In his circular he states
that every subject of the Emperor enjoys the right
of protection in his religious belief after life as
during his existence, and that no obstacle is to be
placed in the way of religious ceremonies authorised
by the laws. In order to facilitate the burial in
their native land of individuals belonging to other
states of Germany, Austria has concluded a con-
vention with Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover,
and other minor states, by which permission, in the
shape of a pass, will be granted for the transport of
a body from the territory of one of the contracting
parties into that of another.
