The Rev. Da. WOLFF.—Dr. Joseph Wolff, the
celebrated missionary and traveller, whose journey to Bolt-
hara gained him so much distinction. preached three times
yesterday in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Considerable
interest was evoked by the circumstance, and the congrega-
tion at each service was large in consequence. The Rev.
Mr. Corder, the incumbent of the chapel, officiated at the
reading-desk. In the evening, prompted by the recent
"aggression," to which he referred, Dr. Wolff made his dis-
course the vehicle for a rapid review of several of the
tenets held by the Church of Rome in opposition to Protes-
tantism, giving at the same time an exceedingly graphic
and interesting description of the manner in which he be-
came acquainted with them—first in the qualified form that
they are maintained by Cisalpine Catholics, and latterly
as they are inculcated in their full breadth and development
at Rome itself, where during the pontificate of Pius VII. he
was a resident, and studied at the Colleggio di Roma with
Mastai Ferretti, the present occupant of the Pap-al chair, as a
fellow-pupil. The Rev. Doctor's narrative and exposition
were listened to- with the most marked attention. The col-
lections were for tehoof of the poor connected with the con-
gregation, and amounted, we believe, to a liberal sum.—

THE LATE FATAL CATASTROPHE AT BELFAST.

An inquest was held on Saturday on the remains of
the 12 unfirtunate men who were crushed to death
by the falling of the new mill at Beer's-bridge, Bel-
fast. Toe evidence taken goes to show that the death
of so many human beings was caused by the insuffi-
ciency of the materials of which the building was
composed. After the examination of several wit-
nesses the inquiry was adjourned till the Thursday.
A warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Magee, the
contractor, was then issued by the coroner, and imme-
diately executed. Mr. Magee was removed to the
County Gaol, the Governor receiving instructions, at
the same time, not to place him on the prison allow-
ance, or upon prison discipline, the object of the war-
rant being merely t' secure his appearance. Bail, to
any amount, was offered, but refused.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE TRAVELLERS' CLUB
Housa—Yesterday, an inquest was taken by Mr. Bedford,
at the Charing-cross Hospital, on the body of Michael
Flanagan, aged 22. The deceased had been at the works
now going on in the Travellers Club House, Pall-mall, and
on Friday afternoon he and four others were going on as
usual, when the foreman observing they had been drinking
desired them to go home. the deceased had got to the top
of the building end was going down a very high ladder, but
the foreman suggested a tatter way by which he had come
up by a ladder only twenty feet high. The deceased as-
sented to this, and was missed amang the scaffolding, but
was soon found la jog on. the stone fleeting in an insensible
state, and bleeding profusely from the ears. Ile was talc,
to the Charing•cross Hospital and died the next night, never
having been able to speak. On a post mortem examination
of the body it was found that the skull was fractured from
ear to ear, and there was laceration of the brain by the bone.
The foreman thought if the deceased seas incapable of work
he ought to have been assisted down the ladder. The jury
then returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
THE WINDOW. TAX.—We think there are tnaTiy
worse taxes than that of which a correspondent complains.
In one respect, no doubt, it is objectionable—namely, in its
tendency to discourage the opening of windows, where they
would be desirable for purposes of light or ventilation. But
if the Government should adopt the plan, which is under-
stood to be in contemplation, of adhering to the present az-
sessmeht, and Permitting all parties to open additional win-
dows without further charge, that objection would be entirely
removed.—,2l(anchester Guardian.

BEST'S CASE.

His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment in this case,
said he thought the motion for removing Mr. Best's
name from the list of contributories must be granted,
on the ground that the Master had no jurisdiction to
put the name on the list.

An application was then made by counsel for a re-
hearing of the case, in consequence of a recent decision
of the Lord Chancellor.
Lord CRANWORTH said he thought the other side
should have notice of the application.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 15.
(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster, before Lord Chief
Justice CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr.
Justice COLERIDGE, and Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
ELAM V. THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action to recover the value of several
packages of goods, temporarily consigned to the
North- Western Railway Company's goods station at
Camden-town, on their arrival from America, and
obtained therefrom by means of a representation and
demand, supposed to have been made by the plaintiff.
The action was tried at Guildhall, before Lord Camp-.
bell, at the sittings after last Michaelmas term, and
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, the amount to
be paid to him to be the subject of arbitration. The de-
claration set forth that the plaintiff delivered certain
goods to the defendants, to be conveyed by them, as
carriers, and that they so negligently discharged that
duty that the property was lost. The defendants

FRAN CE.

In the National Assembly yesterday the debate on
the vote of censure on the Ministers commenced, but
had not concluded whsn the post left.
We read in the Pays—" The President of the Re •
public hats reoeived from several members of the As-
,eivlbiy, who hitherto have shown themselves hostile to
his person, marks of sympathy which have sensibly af-
fected him Some of these representatives have been to
him to assure him that the hostility of the Assembly
would calm down. The President replied with much
sangfroid, 'lf the Assembly has any fears for its
sefety, it can protect itself by any number of troops
that it pleases, and give the command of them to the
General of the Chamber. But from the moment
when the Assembly shall have placed itself in a state
of hostility to the chief of the Executive Government,
I will respond to it by an act of confidence and re-
conciliation. I will send away from the Elysee every
guard aad every sentinel, and will confide myself to
the protection of the population of Paris."

THU LATE FATAL CATASTROPHE AT BELFAST.

An inquest was held on Saturday on the remains of
the 12 unfortunate men who were crushed to death
by the falling of the new mill at Beer's bridge, Bel-
fast. The evidence taken goes to show that the death
of so many human beings was caused by the insuffi-
ciency of the materials of which the building was
composed. After the examination of several wit-
nesses the inquiry was adjourned till the Thursday.
A warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Magee, the
contractor, was then issued by the coroner, and imme-
diately executed. Mr. Magee was removed to the
County Gaol, the Governor receiving instructions, at
the same time, not to place him on the prison allow-
ance, or upon prison discipline, the object of the war-
rant being merely t.) secure his appearance. Bail, to
any amount, was offered, but refused.

SCHLEsWi G-HOLSTEIN

The Stadtholders have addressed the following pro-
clamation to the army :
" The Commissioners, which the Great Powers
of Germany have in the name of the Germanic Con-
federation sent to this country, have undertaken to
execute the treaty of peace of the 2d July, and at
tie same time to protect (zuwahren) the rights and
interes:s of the country of Hoist in and its an-
cient connexion with the Duchy of Schleswig. In
consfcpence of this, the Statholders have decreed the
oessation of hostilities. The Danish army will retreat,
and only that number of troops which is sufficient for the
maintenance of tranquillity and older will be left in
Schleswig. The Schleswig-Holst«in army will remain
in posses:ion of Rendsburg and Friedricbsort, and the
territories which hr.:tong to these fortresses. The rest of
the army will retreat across the Eyder, where they will
go into cantonments. Two-thirds of the troops will be
dismissed on leave.

" The stuff of the regiments will remain, and these
will guard the arms, uniforms, and accoutrements.
" the &adtholclers trust that the army, having given
such glorious proofs of its gallantry and honourable per-
severance, will continue in order and discipline, and thus
insure the respect and the gratitude of the country.

THE REV. Da. WOLFF.--Dr. Joseph Wolff, the
celebrated missionary and traveller, whose journey to Rol:-
hara gained him so much distinction, preached three tires
yesterday in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Considerable
interest was evoked by the circumstance, and the congrega-
tion at each service was large in consequence. The Rev.
Mr. Gordon, the incumbent of the chapel, officiated at the
reading-desk. In the evening, prompted by the recent
"aggression," to which he referred, Dr. Wolff made his dis-
course the vehicle for 'a rapid review of several of the
tenets held by the Church of Rome in opposition to Protes-
tantism, giving at the same time an exceedingly graphic
and interesting description of the manner in which be be-
came acquainted with them—first in the qualified form that
they ace maintained by Cisalpine Catholics, and latterly
as they are inculcated in their Lull breadth and development
at Rome itself, where during the pontificate of Pius NIL he
was a resident, and studied at the Colleggio di Roma with
Mastai Ferretti, the present occupant of the Fapal chair, as a
fellow-pupil. The Rev. Doctor's narrative and exposition
were listened to with the most marked attention? The col-
lections were for Lehoof of the poor connected with the con-
gregation,we believe, to a liberal Bum,—.

GERMAN Y.

The Weser Zeitung ,sys :—We are enabled to com
municate the plan of M. Von Bruck, end the manner
in which it is prop ,sed to carry it into execution.
The Austrian industrials have declared themselves in
favour of the same Zoll tariff (with small modifications
only) which in Cassel was approved of by the whole
Zollverein Congress, with the exception of Brunswick.
On this footing the Vienna Cabinet is ready to treat,
if Prussia be thereto disposed; and if not, Aus-
trian Commissioners will be deputed to attend: the
Zollverein Congress to be held in Dresden on the Ist
of February next. The plan is as follows :—The
three commercial districts (Handelsgebrete) should
by compact form one commercial verein, which should
adopt the above described tariff system for its entire
circumscription. Simultaneously with this equa-
lization of the tariffs, all transit duties should be
removed from raw materials of every sort on the
frontiers of Austria. On the other side, Austria
demands the introduction of a tobacco monopoly by
all the other German Governments. This compact
should be concluded for six years, with the prospect,
at the end of that time, of a complete union. During
these six years a careful control should be established
on the boundaries of the three commercial districts
over the import as well as consumption of foreign
goods in the separate states, so that it might be pos-
sible to calculate exactly the customs' income of
every state. The complete union would be stipulated
fur 12 years. Austria calculates that the North Sea
States will be won over to this plan by the great market
the abolition of transit duties will procure them ; and
Bavaria, Saxony, and the Silesian provinces, by the
facilitation of the frontier trade. Austria hopes by
this plan to turn to account her natural productions,
particularly in Hungary, so to get out of her own
financial difficulties, and to force Prussia to abandon
the 'vantage ground her Zollverein position gives her.

THE LATE LORD MAYOR.

The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment yes-
terday i❑ the celebrated case of " Wauchob v. Rey-
nolds," which first came before their Lordships in
Michaelmas term, 1849. Its last form was in the
nature of a demurrer taken to the validity of the re-
turn filed by the late Corporation, alleging, in answer
to the mandamus to proceed to the election of a Lord
Mayor in the place of Mr. Reynolds, that the office
was full. The judges, with the exception of Mr.
Justice Perrin, decided that the return was no answer
to the writ, and allowed the demurrer, with costs.
was intimated at the close of the proceedings that
the else is to be brought before a superior tribunal,
so that, after 18 months' litigation, the whole (ries-
tion, thanks to the ' glorious uncertainty," remains
virtually undecided.
London, England, 1851-01-16

Idr. GILBERT, the manager, briefly, but warmly,
acknowledged the compliment.
The CHAIRMAN here informed them that the execu-
tive staff during the last twelve months had under-
gone a strict and searching revision, and the salaries
had been advanced wherever merit was found to exist
deserving it. This announcement was received with
loud cheers.
A vote of confidence was then presented to the
directors, and the Chairman having been thanked for
bi 3 courteous conduct in the chair, the meeting, which
was very numerously attended, broke up.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

SUBMISSION OF THE STA.DTHOLDERS.
The question of the Duchies is decided. The
Stadtholders have resolved to submit.

On Saturday last the two Commissioners, General
Thienen and Count Mensdorf, returned from; Kiel
to Hamburgh. At that time it was stated that they
had effected an arrangement with the Stadtholders
and Count Reventlow.

The Holstein Diet had not, however, dissolved
itself. Many of its members thought it advisable to
proceed to Hamburg") on Saturday night.
It was rumoured that the march of the Austrian
army would be stopped, and that the Holstein troop
would remain in possession of Itendshurg.
This; report iF, however, contradicted by later in•
telligence, according to which the Stadtholders have
published a proclametien, in which document tip, y
state that, since the German Confederacy has resolved
to enforce the treaty of peace of the 2d of July, 1850,
and since that Confederacy has promised to protect the
rights of Holstein, as well as the vested rights and
ancient connexion existing between that duchy and
Schleswig, they, the Stadtholders, had thought it in=
cumbent on themselves to decree the cessation of hos-
tilities. They finally protest that they have placed
the rights of the country under the protection of the
Germanic Confederation.

They also express their thanks to the army, the
navy, and the population at large, and they rely on
the maintenance of order.

The Stadtholders will resign their offices as soon as
an administrative board shall have been appointed by
the Germanic Confederation.

The ninth battalion of the garrison of Ri...nds-
burg, in Schleswig Holstein, received on the 7th
orders to march ; thinking they were about to attack
the Danes, they cheerfully complied, but they were
taken to the fortifications, and told that they were to
shoot on a soldier of the battalion, who had been con-
demned to death by court-martial for having killed a
sub•lieutenant. They uttered cries of indignation, and
refused to take part in the execution, saying that the
sub-lieutenant had ill-treated his men. The officers
succeeded in quieting them, and eight men were
drawn by lot to shoot the soldier. When the word
of command was given, three men fired in the air ;
the others discharged their muskets at the man, and
he fell dead. The three refractory soldiers were at
once seized, tried by court-martial, condemned to
death, and early next morning were executed.
