other occupations, were prepared to act, and to relin-
quish situations which were of the utmost importance
to themselves and fataies. How unreasonable
was it, while claiming, orKlit for their own twelve
or thirteen years' servitude, which they thought
" was a sufficient guarantee far their steadiness
without binding them to a three month.' node •," to
make no allowance for those who had acted as kind
and considerate masters during these p2riedz, and
who should be supposed incapable of using the
power thereby afforded for any sinister purpose.
The directors had just reason to complain of the un-
warrsnted and unwarrantable suspicion.

One fact should not be forgotten by the men,
There were 138 drivers on the northern division of the
line, and there were 230 applications for employme-nt
by competent !persons within a single week ;
while during the same time there were 128 applies,
tion for the 130 situations on the southern di7itir,n.
This must convince the malcontents that substitutes
could be more easily provided than they had previ-
ously supposed. The contest has, however, tt,rnii-
noted. The men have yielded at discretion ; the
great majority have declared their adhesitsn to the
existing regulation, by affixing their sil:Tauces to the
document issued by the company withdraw-
ing the abjection to the three months'
notice. W© have now only to express our hope
that the directors will use their victory with roodtra-
tion, and exhibit the magnanimity which their con•
duct during► the discussion warrants us in an ;
that they will let " bygones be bygones," and pro-
claim a general amnesty for acts committed during
the unfortunate discussion that has been brought to
so happy a terminal ion.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(13kfore Mr. Under Sheriff BURCHELL.)
SMITH V. ROBERTS.
WEDDING GARMENTS —The plaintiff is a tailor in
Old Ifros•i• street, City, and defendant is a gentleman
residirg at Ltyton, Essex. The action was brought to
recover the rum of 71. 16s. for a suit of clothes.
The plaintiff's attorney stated the case, from which
it appeared that defendant went to the plaintiff's
shop and stated that he was about becoming a votary
cf liYmcn, and was anxious to appear in appropriate
costume, and was measured for that purpose. The
fit was admitted to be unexceptionable, and the nuptial
ceremony
tool: piece, but ou the bill being presented, de-
fendant said that it vras no joke at all to pay extra for
wtdding dresse,,, and, considering he bad been over-
chargt.,l, rt fustdto pay. lie did not now appear to de-
f_orld the action, and a verdict went against him for the
full n mount as a matter cf course.
The other cases were on bills of exchange, undefended.
SOUTHWARK QUARTER SES-
London, England, 1851-01-02

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE•

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. We are glad to announce that
the Lords of the Admiralty have had " second thoughts"
as to the ship for the 11" of the Commander-in-Chief
on the West India and North Americas station. The
order for the fitment of the Winchester, 50-gun frigate,
has been this day cancelled by telegraph, and the Pem-
broke, 72, ordered to be fitted immediately in her room.
This is more sensible and not one sixpence more expen-
sive in the long run. Assuredly a British Vice-Ad-
miral's flag will have more dignity attached to it flying
from the fore of a two-decker than it could have flying
from the fore of a frigate, however fine a specimen of a
man-of-war that frigate might be ; but whilst giving
credit to the Admiralty for their afterthought in the
present case, It would be just as well for the nation if
they would cousider a little earlier, as the Winchester
has now been under process of outfit for nearly a month,
with extra hands employed upon her to get her ready,
and considerable progress they bad made ; now, however,
the order is " strip ;" so to demolition goes everything
again, and the hands go on with the new ship ; the
frigate, meanwhile, going into ordinary to await a turn
fur commission for the south-east coast of America sta-
tion.— Times.

The Simoom iron steam-frigate has been taken out of
the steam basin to-day, ready to proceed out of harbour
to try her speed and machinery.
The Blonde, 52, has been taken into the Angle Dock
again to complete her repairs as a receiving hulk.

The Communal Council of Vercelli, in its sitting

A letter from Rome of the 21st, in the Risorgi-

chief of one of the rioni, or quarters of Rome, under
the late Republic, has succeeded in making his escape
from Castel St. Angelo. All political prisoners have
now been removed from that place and sent to
P:lgliano. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the
Papal Government, numerous clandestine oamphkts

banditti, headEd by IL PASSATORE his,melf. A soldier
was killed, and another wounded in the contest; the
banditti were, however, put to flight, after the loss of
one man, named LAMI, on whose body articles of

announces the arrest in that city of a naive of Con-
stantinople, whose passport was not regular, an.l
the subv.quent discovery about his person of a
treasonable correspondence of great importance. At
a late sitting of the Tribunal, for the hearing of the
case of the Uniti Italiana, the musket of a gendarme
accidentally went off, which caused immenF.e confu-
sion, both among the judges and the audience; the
former fled into the council chamber, while the latter
mark an ineffectual rush to get out into the street.
The gendarmes increased the confusion by pointing
their muskets, out of precaution, both at the public
and the prisoners. Order was with difficulty re-
stored.

MISCELLANEA.

A table showing the sickness, mortality, and inva-
liding i❑ her Mjesty's and the lion. Company's
armies on the Madras establishment, from the Ist
January, 150, to 31st March, 1851, appears in the
Fort St. George Gazette. From this we gather that
during the fifteen months there died of her Majesty's
army 140, of which 16 were from cholera, and
233 were invalided, out of a total strength of
4 900 or thereabouts. This gives a per cent-
age in the former of three nearly, and in the latter
of close on five. Of the European troops of the
Company's army, numbering 6,900, there died, 133
—2 per cent., and invalided 129 —2 6 per cent. Of
the Native army, 55,500 strong, 907 died-1.6 per
cent., and invalided 1,211-2.2 per cent. nearly ; the
deaths from cholera being 257—little short of one-
fifth of the whole. We should like to see returns
of this sort published for the Bombay and Bengal
armies.

The Bengal Ilurkarn of the 4th instant supplies
the followh g item of news :—" The following inti-
mation of a strange aed tragic occurrence was received
by electric telegraph yesterday evening Message
received from Pilot Maxon, of ship Hydery, that the
ship Fawn has been taken by her crew, Captain
Rogers and officers murdered.' We have since heard
that the Fawn was found ashore on the Sambelungs
in the Straits. Five of her crew had surrendered
themselves or been seized at Singapore, and were in
custody there. According to their report of the
horrible business, the captain, officers, and male
passengers were murdered on board ; the captain's
wife and a lady passenger were then put into one of
the quarter boats, which, while being lowered, was
either accidentally or by intention overturned, and the
ladies were drowned. The vessel was then scuttled
and deserted by the crew. We hear that she was
manned wholly or almost entirely by Malays."
The following is a letter from Peshawur, October
26 :—" The w eather has continued very much the
same, only a little more variable, and if anything
hotter. Sickness amongst tho native regiments is
still very severe indeed; upw rds of 200 sick in hos-
pital in some corps; and MO convalL scents out of
hospital."
London, England, 1851-12-16

GERMANY.

It is currently reported in Vienna that the coup
d'etat of Louis NAPOLEON had been long precon-
certed with the Emperors of Russia and of AUSTRIA
that the funds necessary for its accomplishment were
furnished by the former, and that they were trans-
mitted to Paris via Vienna. The family connexion
subsisting between the PRESIDENT, and the CZAR
tends to give to this rumour an air of probability.
The organs of the Austrian Government are loud
in their laudations of Louis NAPOLEON and take
advantage of the coup d'etat to lay down as a general
rule of morals, politics, and religion, that "no man
is bound to keep word or oath pledged to revolu-
tionists," an axiom which it would be well that all
who may have dealings with Absolutists and Obscu-
rantists should bear in mind, seeing that it is the
oath breaker himself who alone decides who is or
who is not a revolutionist. It is, in fact, the organi-
zation of perjury into a creed.
The Hungarian journals disapprove of the conduct
of LOUIS NAPOLEON. The Feather Zeitung says—
" The reward of the hazardous game played by the
PRESIDENT must be on the one side terrorism, on the
other an eclipse of the glory of the family name. Is
the state of society in France such that existing laws
must be suspended, and their place supplied by arbi-
trary will ? Unfortunately we live in times when
law is only a barrier for the weak !" The Magyar
Hirlap goes still further, and says—" The PRESI-
DENT by his coup d'etat has shown that the Moun-
tain were right when they asserted that not they,
but the majority of the National Assembly and the
Elysee endangered the peace of the country and the
Constitution."

Austria is endeavouring to organize a " continental
system" against the commerce of England.
The remains of the Princess of SAVOY-CARIGNAN,
mother of the late King CHARLES ALBERT, were on
the 11th taken, without any pomp, to the Church of
Saint Paul, at Vienna, and thence to the cemetery of
Matzleindorff, where they were interred.
In the sitting of the First Chamber of the States of
Hanover, on the 10Lb, it was resolved to invite the
Ministry to proceed to the execution of the laws con-
cerning the organization of the country.
A printseller at Ilamburgh exposed, a few days ago,
in his shop-window carricatures on Lours NAPOLEON,
but by order of the police they were withdrawn, to
prevent disturbances.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Madame Vestris commenced her winter campaign
last evening. During the recess the theatre has been
thoroughly renovated and embellished, and the in-
terior presents that air of graceful and luxurious
elegance which all playgoers have been accustomed
to consider as the peculiar characteristic of every
theatre under the management of Madame Vestris.
The performances were the last new comedy of The
Game le Speculation (an admirable adaptation of De
Balzac's 111ercadet), Forty and Fifty, and A Practical
Aran. The Mr. Affable Hawk of Mr. Charles Ma-
thews, in The Game of Speculation, is a most artisti-
cal impersonation, full of point and pungency. In
his performance of this character, Mr. Charles
Mathews proves that, notwithstanding his mercurial
vivacity, he fully understands the secret and the value
of repose. The Earthworm of Mr. Frank Matthews
is deliciously quaint, and the Sirllenry Lester of Mr.
R. Roxby is the very beau ideal of a fashionable
scamp. After the comedy the National Anthem was
sung by all the company, the solo portions being de-
livered by Miss Julia St. George, Miss Martingdale,
and Madame Vestris. The reception of Madame was
enthusiastic. Several additions have been made to
the company; among others who are engaged is Mrs.
Chatterly, whom playgoers of a quarter of a century
since recollect at Covent-garden as the most fascinating
and lively of Cherubinos and the most demure of Anne
Lovelys who, in fact, was what Mrs. Nisbett is.
Mrs. Chatterly returns to the stage after an absence
of nearly twenty years; whether, like Madame
Sontag, Mrs. Chatterly is an evergreen and intends
to resume her old line of business, or whether she in-
tends to succeed Mrs. Glover, does not at present ap-
pear. Miss Laura Keene is also engaged here, and
will prove a great acquisition in that numerous class
of characters where a slight infusion of pathos is re-
quired.

- - -- -----
A Berlin journal of the 12th says:—
" The Chamberlain de Bille, Minister of the King of
Denmark, is charged to declare to the Government that,
although the Danish Ministry cannot at this moment
convoke the Provincial States of the Duchy, as required
by the resolutions of the Germanic Diet, it does not the
less believe it its duty to insist on the re-establishment
of the King's authority, and, in consequence, to demand
the withdrawal of the federal troops which occupy Hol-
stein. The other instructions given to M. de Bilk an-
nounce, it is said, much complaisance on the part of the

COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCE.
REPORT OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS
FROM IST TO 15TH NOV. INCLUSIVE.
THE MONEY MARKET.—The increased demand for
money reported in our last still continues, but the banks
have not yet raised their rates of interest on loans and
discounts. Government securities have declined in
price, and are dull at quotations; as also Bank Shares,
in which only a limited amount of business has been
done, with the exception of Oriental Bank Corporation
Stock, which has advanced from 8 per cent. pm., as
quoted in our last, to 15 per cent. pm., at which rate it
is in demand.

The Oriental, Commercial, and Agra Banks have
eiven notice, that from the Ist of January next the rate
of interest allowed on current deposit accounts will be
reduced to 2 per cent. per annum, instead of 2f, to which
it was raised on the opening of the Government Five
per Cent. Loan in 1846.

Exchange has risen since our last issue, but there has
not been much doing in bills.
Freights—There have been but few arrivals of late.
but there are plenty of ships in the river, and not much
demand for their tonnage; so thA their rates continuo
very low. Present quotations as e to London—sugar,
21.; hides, 34; jute, 2L 10s.; shell lac and lac dye, 21, 101.
to 31.

Indigo—From the factory districts there is nothing
new of importance, and it is still supposed that the crop
will actually turn out about 120,000 =math, although it
is difficult to arrive at positive facts even at this late pe-
riod of the season.
CALCUTTA, Nov. B.—There is little change in com-
mercial affairs since yesterday. Exchange is still on the
rise, and has gone up kd, or 1 1. for the atter packet.
The harbour is still crowded with shipping, and numo-
rous arrivals may be looked for daily. A ship just in
reports twenty vessels outside waiting for pilots. The
following are announced this morning.—Newton, Gla-
diator, Nepaulese Ambassador, and Alliance.
London, England, 1851-12-16

IMPORTS

Cotton Piece Goods—Since the date of our last no
fresh supplies have been received, which has induced a
considerable degree of firmness on the part of holders
for the stock now held, and a greater confidence exists
among the natives, from whom there has been more in-
quiry of late, which for the present at least would make
it appear that any further fall in value is checked.
Business has been done to a much smaller extent in the
past fortnight than in that preceding it.

oelers, enjoy a higher degree of inviolability. This
inetolebiiety they derive from the dignity of the state
they represenr, and from the interest that every nation
takee is the honour and security of those who are to
to Isact its affairs in foreign countries. Public Ministers
fleet diplomatic agents are by most jurists considered ex-
territorial, aud, in some cases, as exempted from the civil
jurisdiction of the State. We are net therefore surprised
thet the President of a great and civilized country con=
the violence exercised towards the Spanish Con-
snl, and points out the defects of the American legisla-
tion in reference to foreign Ministers and agents. The
reference to Louis K ssuth in this state paper is brief
but inter-sting. After stating that a frigate had teen
sew, to receive on board the ex-Governor of Hungary,
the President recommends to Congress to consider in
het manner the distinguished exile—whose arrival at
New York, we learn, was every hour anxiously
looked for—should be received and treated. There
is a good deal in the Message in reference.
to Mexico. Taumelipas, and the railway across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, on which we have not space
to remark to-day; but we must not, in passing even cur-
s, rily over those topics, omit to state that the President
warns his countrymen of the over-trading and over-spe-
culetion likely to be incident to the immense supplies of
Califernian gold daily arriving. These are wise sug-
gestions, well worthy of the countryman of Benjamin
Franklin. Other recommendations of the President are
well worthy of imitation nearer home, in a nation also
eFeientially comeuercial and meritiene. When we find
the Americans directing all their energies to the
nrovement of the it harbours—of their dry and wet
decks—of their naval yards, naval academiee, and school
of charts, it were well if, in the present state of Europe,
wi?, too, should think of those wooden walls in which
must ever be our safety and a See at portion of our
national strength. Nor is another recommendation of
the American less worhy of imitation in England. The
public statutes of the United States have only been ac-
cumulating for a little more than sixty years, yet they
exhibit much of the incongruity and imperfection of
hasty legislation. The President, therefore, recom-
mends that a commission be appoiated to revise the
public statutes—to arrange them in order—to supply
deficiencies—to correct incongruities—to simplify their
language, and to render them cheaper and more acces-
sible to the
public. These are glorious aims, worthy of
Itepublics, worthy of
Kings and Queens. worthy of Em-
peross. In England our statutes extend not over sixty
•dd, but, counting from Magna Chute, over six hundred
and odd years, anti fill 33 volumes quarto—a decent
vmggon- load. If a committee of revision be required
for American statutes, how much more loudly is it de-
manded for British statutes
London, England, 1851-12-16

SUSPICION OF MURDER.

At the Manchester Borough-court on Monday, a
rough-looking fellow, about thirty years of sge,
named William Thompson, an engine-fitter, residing
at 15, Pall Mall•street, Vine-street, Hulme, was
charged with the murder of his wife on Saturday
night. _ _

The evidence disclosed the fact that the pri-
soner and the deceased had been married about six
years, but had not lived happily, in consequence of
the female having a strong liking for drink ; for the
last month, however, she had been a total abstainer,
and on Saturday night was quite sober. She was at
the house of her sister, Maria Mather, of 18, Lloyd-
street, from about seven o'clock up to nine o'clock ;
going there, she said, to avoid her hus-
band, who had threatened to beat her. She deposited
nine shillings with her sister, saying she would be
back that night; and at nine o'clock she left. A
female named Jones proved that the unfortunate
woman went home between nine and ten o'clock, and
finding that a key she had would not unlock the door,
she got into the house by way of the back window.
About half-past eleven o'clock Jones and her brother
heard a noise, as of some one falling down stairs, in
the house, but they did not notice any other
disturbance. About a quarter past one on Sun-
day morning the prisoner went to Maria Mather's
house, knocked her up, coolly said his wife was
dead, and then went away. The sister immediately
proceeded to the house, and found that the statement
was true. The corpse of Mrs. Thompson was on b
chair in the kitchen. Just before Mather arrived,
Thompson's father, an old man, who lodged in the
house, let himself in with a latchkey, and, while grop-
ing about for a light, found the dead body on the
chair. Before he could get a light Thompson
walked in, on his retnrn from Lloyd-street, and the
old man said, " Bill, why dost let the wife sleep
there?" Thompson, to the old man's utter dis-
may, replied, " She's not asleep, she's dead," and
then left the house. A medical man (Dr. Wilkin
son) was called in, but life was extinct, and, with all
due attention to decency, the neighbours proceeded
to undress the corpse and perform some of the last
offices for the dead. It was then discovered that
there were several marks upon the throat and back of
the head which indicated foul play, and the police,
being informed of the circumstances, apprehended the
man at a beer-shop in llulme. His account of the
matter is, that he did not see his wife alive after he
went to his work on Saturday morning ; that he
went home at night and went to bed, woke in a
fright early in the morning, went down stairs, and
found his wife dead at the foot of them ; he took
her up, fixed her on the chair, and then went to tell
her sister. He was remanded for further exami-
nation.
