THE RECENT MURDER IN P IRIS.
The authorities have commenced a searching in-
vestigation into all the circumstances of the murder of
the aged female, Madame Lebelle, and the attempted
murder of Madame Ribault, both of the Rue Bourbon
lo Chateau. It appears that after the assassin had
gone away, Madame Ribault, whilst lying bleeding
on the ground, teared that she would die before as-
sistance should arrive • she accordingly attempted
to trace in blood on her chemise characters which
would indicate the assassin, but, reflecting that
they would not be legible, she, by a great effort,
managed to crawl to a chimney-board, where she
traced with her finger, dipped in blood, the letters
6° Commis de M. T—." These letters are very ir-
regular, but are perfectly legible; some others that
follow the letter T are illegible. After this Madame
Ribault began to make as much noise as her failing
strength would allow, in order to attract assistance, and
at last the door of Lira apartment was forced open.
The courage displayed by this old lady was extraor-
dinarily great. For eight hours she remained lying
on the ground in a pool of blood, and every hour be-
came weaker and weaker, and during all this time the
corpse of her murdered companion was lying near her.
After Madame Ribault had been stabbed by the as-
sassin in different places, he attempted to thrust a piece
of cloth into her throat, but she succeeded in dragging
it away. The cloth in question, a napkin, was found;
it bore the marks of teeth and blood. It was be-
lieved that Madame Lebelle had been strangled ; but
on examination of her throat by medical men,
none of the contusions occasioned by strangulation
could be discovered. In examining the mouth of
the deceased, a black in was found, and after-
wards a piece of black ribbon was seen in the throat.
By the aid of n
at l• ruments this was with some
difficulty pulled up, and
to it was attached the cap

THE IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.—thi Honour
the Master in Chancery Farrer has just delivered a written
decision on the third list of contributories in this company,
who, on shares being allotted them, paid Is. per share and
took up the scrip. The case taken, and which was intended
to govern the rest, was that of Mr. George Aspinall, of
James-street, Liverpool, druggist, holder of 15 shares. His
Honour, in reviewing the evidence, states that he cannot find
any facts to affect Mr. Aspinall except the prospectus in the
original company, the application for shares, the letter of
allotment of 15 shares, and the payment of is. per share.
Notice of the first call was sent to Mr. Aspinall but he paid
no attention to it, and no notices of other calls, or of any
other proceedings were subsf:quently sent to him. He
therefore proposed to exclude Mr. Aspinall from the list of
contributories. This decision will have the effect of striking
off the list all those shareholder; in the position of Mr.
Aspinall, though it is intended to pursue other ease:: on the
ground of there being stronger evidence against the parties,
from the circumstance cf their having sold their ;=hares and
done other acts which, it is alleged, identify them more
closely with the company.
AMIRACULOUS PRESERVATION.—The Rokeby, from
the Mauritius, just arrived at the port of Bristol, encountered
on her homeward voyage a fearful storm, in which the cap-
tain, the chief mate, and two of the crew were washed over-
board. The captain and mate perished, but by the reflux of
the wave the men were again thrown upon the deck, and
were thus almost miraculously preserved. The Rokeby was
safely brought to her destination by the second mate.

given to understand the line from Rye to Hastings, not
being complete, there is no probability of its being opened
for two months.—Sussex Express.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
DAILY NEWS.—There never was a time in
which it was so incumbent on those nations, we had
almost said, upon that nation which Providence has
blessed with freedom and independence, to show how
deeply and truly it sympathises with those of other
countries who, in pursuit of that same constitutional
and righteous freedom which has distinguished us,
have failed of our good fortune and wanted an oppor-
tunity for securing it, and who now suffer the
vengeance of despotism in so glorious a cause.
The time is past, indeed, when England could in-
terfere by arms or menaces of arms, even to uphold
the weak and redress the injured. With the
mighty armies which now occupy and weigh upon
the continent, it is plain that nothing but public opi-
nion can contend ; public opinion, becoming en-
lightened and unanimous in a great people, conscious
of what it aims at, and possessed of men able and
honest to accomplish their aims. All we can give is
our share of light, of sympathy, and of adhesion to
the great power of opinion. In giving this adhesion
we can no longer count upon our Government.
Ministers and diplomatists, even admitting that they
feel liberal tendencies, have still the necessity of dis-
simulation imposed upon them. No Foreign Minister,
even of England, durst brave a general alliance of
all those powers in Europe who wield the mono-
poly of large armies and military resources.
Russia, Austria, and Prussia have now re-entered
into that holy alliance for the suppression of liberal
tendencies which they so vainly tried thirty years
ago, whilst France, its people bent on either order or
disorder, and its rulers on petty squabbling for
power, has neither the spirit nor the leisure to inter
fere. In such a state of Europe circumspectness must
perforce be the characteristic of the English Foreign
Minister. And there are many who would stretch
that circumspectness to the length of interested and
feigned complicity and sympathy with the
allied despotism which now prevails. But what
ever may be the meanness obligato of Mi-
nisters, or of candidate Ministers, and of those
organs of the press who abandon the public interest,
sentiments, and cause, in order to become the mere
mouthpieces of a man or a clique, there is no neces-
sity, but, on the contrary, deep impolicy, in the na-
' don's flnging aside its naturally liberal sympathies,
and affecting to worship a Haynau or revere a
Schwartzenberg. The English public, which can-
not be suspected of being aggressive, or even pro-
pagandi9t, have no need of affecting adherence to
despotism, or, like the Dutch in Japan treading on
the cross in order to be allowed to trade, profess
ourselves humble admirers of Haynau, and
partial respecters of Nicholas, in order that we
may be received into their conservative alliance.
Let statesmen bow, and intrigue, and wriggle between
liberalism and illiberalism—that is their profession—
but let the British public follow a straightforward
course, and repudiate those who have compromised the
cause of liberty by their assaults upon property as well
as on the just laws of society and of religion, as well
as those who deem the world again ripe for the appli-
cation of brute force, and for the ignoring of every
other principle of government save violence and fear.
Whatever may betide the world, even if the whole con •
tinent be destined to undergo the yoke of despotism,
and if the "era of the Caesars" have indeed again
returned, still principle and honour must prompt
us to avow those sympathies which not all the dissi-
mulation and abnegation on our part would make the
allied despots believe we are really without. The
duration of military despotism, at least in central
Europe, is an utter impossibility. And if armies have
been made overwhelming by their numbers, they
are rendered unmanageable by the same numbers.
And ere many years elapse we shall have as many
parties in them as there are in the people, whom
they are destined to devour and to oppress. As
to Germany, its revolution is but commencing.
Its thirty yerrs of peace are over. And we see
as little chance of the dualism of Austria and
Prussia subjecting Germany by any new Bund
at Dresden, as of the Frankfort Parliament subduing
Austria and Prussia by votes and long speeches. The
day is not distant when the popular party will be in
Germany, where Court parties are, at present, in the
ascendant. And it must not then be said that we
encouraged or chimed in with any brutal system of
repression and reaction. It is, therefore, with great
pleasure that we beheld in our columns a long sub-
scription list, signed by the first houses concerned
in the German trade, in favour of the victims of
Hesse. If ever there was resistance constitu-
tionally made without blood, without disorder, without
appeal to any bad passions, or the awakening of
one subversive principle, it was that unanimous re-
sistance of the Hesians, before the unanimity of
which the Elector of Hesse fled. Left to himself,
the Elector, bad as he is, would not have quarrelled
with his people ; and left to himself, he afterwards
would have become reconciled to them and to the
constitution. But the Elector was a cat's-paw in the
hands of the Frankfort Diet to wound and provoke
Prussia in the first instance, and then to humble her.
Hassenpflug himself admitted that the resistance and
flight of the Elector were solely done in obedience to
the Diet. A more Machiavelian, il;egal, or unwar-
ranted interference or intrigue never took effect for the
oppression of a brave and constitutional people. Had
there remained one spark of heroism in the breast of
Prussia, Hesse should have been defended in its con-
stitutional rights. But the meanness with which
Hesse was abandoned is only to be equalled by the
infamous and overbearing trickery with which that
country has been oppressed. Prussia throughout
acted the part of Judas, first supporting the resist-
ance of the Hessians, then preventing the Elector
from compounding with that resistance, whilst its
last act forms such a climax of treachery, that it will
be indelibly written upon every German heart. At
the last hour the Hessians were told that a Prussian
and an Austrian Commissioner were coming to
arrange their affairs. The Hessians of course looked
to the Prussian as their protector and friend. He
counselled them to submit, to acknowledge the autho-
rity of the Diet, and that in return they should have
fair treatment and conditions. They submitted ; but
on mentioning the conditions to the Austrian Com-
missioner, the latter exclaimed, " Who is this Prus-
sian—this Peucker ? He has no authority here.
I am the representative of the Diet ; he is no-
thing, and has the power neither to promise aught
n©r to protect any one." To such treacherous
falsehood, and to such humiliating castigation and
insult, did the Commissioner descend, in order that
he might successfully play the part of Judas to
the Hessians. Language is wanting to characterise
such baseness. Meantime the officers of the Hessian
army, and too many of the civilian functionaries of the
electorate, are the victims of adherence to their con-
stitution. They are turned adrift, deprived of liveli-
hood, and of all hope save in revolution. A short
month back and Prussia seemed to offer them a refuge ;
for it was in the cause of Prussia, as well as of con-
stitutional freedom, that they were sacrificed. But
Prussia itself has since then been as much betrayed
and subdued as Hesse. The constitution is nullified,
and the kingdom of the great Frederick laid at the
feet of the Austrian Minister, who declares in a pro-
clamation that he magnanimously refrained from con-
quering and humiliating Prussia. The answer to
whichfrom the Court of Berlin was an invitation to
that Austrian Minister to become its guest. This
sufficiently proves that Prussia offers no retreat to
honourable men and constitutionalists. The Hessian
officers must become exiles not merely from the land
of their allegiance, but from Germany, over which
the united eagles of despotism irresistibly reign, and
where in consequence nothing but servility can be
tolerated. We trust, however, that the subscriptions
of the Germans and the English will suffice to secure
to these noble victims a pittance and a refuge, until
such time as the present tyranny be overthrown.

LAUNCH OF THE MARION MACINTYRE.

A most interesting event in the annals of ship-
building took place on Saturday last, at the building
yard of Messrs. Jordan and Getty, Sefton-street, by
the lauching of a beautiful barque called the Marion
Macintyre. More than ordinary interest was
excited from the fact that the principle on
which this vessel is built is almost entirely
new ; but one experimental craft, the Excelsior,
having been previously constructed upon it, under a
patent obtained for combining the strengthening unity
of wood and iron. The Excelsior was built for Josias
Booker, Esq•, to trade to the West India islands, and
the success attendant upon her voyage outward drew
to the scene of the launch hundreds of merchants and
others interested in the trade and commerce of the
port; and, at the hour announced, there could not
have been fewer persons present than a thousand,
amongst whom were many of the fairer portion of
creation.

Almost punctually to the hour,
twelve o'clock, the
launch took place amidst the usual demonstrations
on
such occasions, the ceremony of christening being
performed by Mrs. J. Macintyre.
The Marion Macintyre is about 300 tons register.
She is 117 feet in length (builders' measurement, keel
and. fore-rake), with a beam of 22 feet 5 inches, which
annuships is carried well down to hor bilge, giviug her
great bearing, and not interrupting her well rounded
lines, fore and aft. Her stern, which is gracefully
ornamented with carved work, sornevvhat approxi-
mates to that known as the Aberdeen clippers Aft
she is (qua!ly clean. On her stern is a bold carving
of the Royal Arms of Scotland, surrounded by
re-
lieved foliage work, running to the quarters. The
peculiarity of this vessel is, that the whole of her
framework is of angle iron, and, where extraordi-
nary strength is required, it is rivetted back to back,
forming what is known as T iron. Diago-
nal pieces (iron) commence, crossing each other amid-
ships, and run oppositely, fore and aft, connecting
every " timber," while exterior stringers are car-
ried to form a circle, so as to prevent the possibility
of her either " hogging" or " breaking her back."
The planking is most ingeniously attached to

this framing, and, while the tension (4' iron is
brought fully into play, the resistance of woad is
equally effective. Her ceiling is all put down with screw
bolts, so that it can ba removed when required, and
thus full access is given to examine relative to cor-
rosion, &c. She has a flush deck, with a poop cabin,
and is neatly,
,but not expensively, fitted. Though
she had in her nearly a hundred tons of ballast when
launched, she sat light and graceful on the water as
a swan, and looked as lofty and majestic as a vessel
of double her tonnage.
Immediately after the launch the company ad-
journed to the " mould-room," where a splendid
dejeuner was provided by Messrs. Morrish and
Feeney, and a more elegant, tasteful, and substantial
display we never before witnessed. The room was
appropriately and gaily decorated with models, flags,
and other effective devices. The company present
numbered upwards of three hundred, and, with the
workmen and others regaled below, ample provision
must have been made for six hundred people.—Liver:

LONDON AS IT IS TO BE IN 185]

(From Punch's Almanach.)

From Mr. tlaycoch's Diary.—April
at the Eastern Counties Station—after a miserable
journey—no porters of course—and had to stand
sentry over luggage for an hour before cabs enough
could be procured. Got 'em at last, and drove to
Heydey's in Baker-street. Couldn't get up.to the
door for cabs setting down, loaded with all sorts of
foreigners, and all sorts of ridiculous travelling caps
and cloaks. The lobby full of foreign luggage, and
the house full of foreign men and women. Mr.
Heydey in a great state of indignation, and
no wonder. That son of his had asked everybody
who had been civil to him in his travels (old Hey-
day has been ass enough to encourage the boy in
running abroad on all occasions), to come to his fa-
ther's whenever they visited London. They have all
visited London for this cock and bull Exhibition, and,
they've all come to his father's, of course. Old Hey-
day doesn't talk any foreign lingo, and of course
couldn't explain matters; so the foreigners had got
themselves settled, and the house is full of them from
area to attic. I shan't stay here among 'em, and so
I've told Mrs. H.—Fred is to look us out a lodging
to •morrow.

From Fred's Diary, May 2.—Got a lodging at
last—two rooms—at 10/. a week ; thanks to the fight
I made. The governor and I sleep in the sitting-
room, which smokes. He has the sofa, and I have a
shake down on:the table. My mother and Mary have the
bed-room, which is rather high up. The house is rather
full. There is a Chinese family down stairs, with four
daughters in one room. They are perpetually making
tea, and live upon ducks and rice. I see the
funniest little trotter-cases outside the door of
a morning—l suppose belonging to the Celestial
young ladies. lam told they inquired a good deal
at first after birds'-nests (of which they make soup at
home), and had a great many brought them by the
little boys of the neighbourhood. It appears they were
not of the right sort for eating. The Persian Prince
on the first floor is going. He had one of his attend-
ants courbashed or flogged yesterday, and the man
has got a warrant against him for an assault.
The North American Indians, in the kitchen, had
their dog feast yesterday, and got jolly on the "fire-
water," as they call gin. I don't believe they really
intended to scalp the knife-boy ;it was only their
fan ; but he has gone this morning, in an awful funk.
However, it's very pleasant, if we' could only get any-
thing to eat. It serves the governor right for not
staying quietly at Heyday's. I was there last night,
and we had a little quiet " punting." I was in luck
and nearly broke the bank. I give the Count and
Leginski their revenge to-night.
From Mr. Haycock's Journal.—lt is as I suspected.
That swindling Frenchman is fed at my expense.
The landlady saw him leave the house to-day with a
turkey he was trying to tie up in a dirty pocket
handkerchief. I can't trust Mary. She thinks the
vagabond's a hero and a martyr—she says.
A Few Days Later.—l will go home next week, if
Igo alone. 1 can't stand any more of the Exposition.
After three hours of it, I lost Mrs. H. and Mary,
and got into a snug corner, upon a pile of hearth-
rugs, and fell fast asleep. I suppose nobody saw
me; for when I woke, the place was dark and
shut up. I nearly broke my neck among
the absurd cranks and things before I could find
a door, and then it was an hour before I could make
a policeman outside hear, and then it was another
hour before they could find a key to let me out. I
was tired to death, and went to the cab- stand out-
side the park entrence, to hail a cab. There wasn't
a driver on his box, and when I went up to the first
on the rank and rapped at the window, supposing
the fellow had got inside for a snooze, a respectable-
looking elderly gentleman popped out his head
in his nightcap, and blew me up for disturbing his
night's rest, and said he " wondered what the police
were about, not allowing people to sleep quiet in
their own apartments." I passed on to the next,
and there was another man, in his nightcap and
dressing-gown, putting his hoots out of the window,
and begging the driver to " rap at the door at
eight, and bring him his hot water." Fred tells
me they are regularly let out for the night or
week, and declares that he saw placards, with
" Lodgings for a single man," on a pole stuck oat of
the top of a Hansom, and " One bad to let," hung
from the window of a mangy-looking night Clarence !
I suppose people who have no objection to a double •
bedded room are accommodated in the omnibuses.

JERSEY ROYAL COURT.
MISS JULIA RUSH V. CARDINAL WISEMAN.

Our readers will doubtless remember this affair,
which came before the Royal Court on the sth inst.
The following is the mandate of justice in which
Miss Julia Rush specified her demands on, and sued
for compensation from, Cardinal Wiseman.
" Upon the remonstrance made to justice by Miss
Julia Rush, showing that in the year 1848 the com-
plainant, who professes the Roman Catholic religion,
having formed the design of establishing a religious
house called a convent, wrote to the very Rev. Nicholas
Wiseman, Doctor of Divinity, Bishop of Melipotamus,
to obtain his approbation and authority to put this pro-
ject in execution, and in the month of March, of the
same year, she received from him a letter, as follows:
" Dear Madame—l have at present time only to say
that I approve most sincerely of your pions design to
establish a religious house in Jersey, and I depute the
Rev. Mr. Cunningham, ecclesiastical superior, for the
purpose of carrying out your plan. W hen the fine
weather comer, I shall do myself the pleasure of person-
ally visiting the community.
" Yours, very sincerely in Christ,
" MTS. Butler.' (Signed) "N. WISEMAN.

"That in consequence the said complainant arranged
with the Rev. John Cunningham, who at that time ofli-
cieted at the chapel called St. Peter and St. Mary, who
took upon himself the choice of a ground proper for the
election of this edifice, and recommended a house and
garden belonging to Mr. George De La Perrelle and
adjoining the property belonging to the said chapel;
that the said complainant having approved of this
choice, and the purchase price having been regulated
with the said Sieur De La Perrelle, the acquisition was
made, and she gave to the said Mr. Cunningham the
sum of 1001. sterling to pay the consideration in money,
which was to effect the contract of purchase; that sub-
ecquently the said complainant paid to Mr. Peter
Bourke, who had undertaken to build upon the said
ground the house and edifices necessary for the said
convent, the sum of 3921. sterling money of Great
Britain; that these buildings were commenced when
the said Rev. John Cunningham died; that in the
month of March, 1849, she learned that Mr.
Michael Cunningham, sole collateral heir to the
said deceased Rev. John Cunningham, his brother, had
by contract dated 3d October, 1848, made over and sold
in perpetuity to the Very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman,
Doctor in Divinity, to the Rev. George Talbot and to
the Rev. Jeremiah Donovan, all the estates which had
belonged to the said Rev. J. Cunningham, and amongst
others the house and garden which the said deceased
had taken and acquired from the said Mr. George De
La Perrelle, and in which garden the construction of the
said convent had been begun; that the said complainant
was so much the more surprised that this property had
been thus transferred, without reserve, to the said Revs.
Wiseman, Talbot, and Donovan, as sho had understood
it was to be transferred to the said Revs. Wiseman and
Talbot, and to the said complainant herself, conjointly
and all together; that the said complainant has expended
the considerable sums above mentioned for the estab-
lishment of the said convent, in consequence of the ap-
probation given to this establishment by the said Rev.
Nicholas Wiseman; who had deputed the said Rev. J.
Cunningham, ecclesiastical superior, to put into execu-
tion the project of the said complainant, but that since
the said Very Rev. Nicholas Wisetnan had withdrawn
this approbation, so that the buildings in erection have
been discontinued. That the said Very Rev. Nicholas
Wiseman in withdrawing, for unfounded motives, from
the said complainant the above-mentioned authorization
has acknowledged that the said complainant ought to
be reimbursed the:money she has expended fur the above
object, as asserted in one of his letters addressed to the
said complainant in the following terms:
" Mr. Cunningham, whose memory is to dear to
you, was the person who, as you yourself informed me,
had the property, &c., entirely in his own name. I have
disbursed payment, &c., for the legal transactions, and
money has been paid fur the convent, borrowed on the
security or liability of the priests. Moreover, you can-
not make further advance to complete the buildings.
Let an account, therefore, be taken of ail that you have

form it.'
" That notwithEtanding this positive assurance, the
said complainant has not been able to obtain reimburse-
ment of what she has advanced. That the said com-
plainant cannot allow the said Dr. Wiseman, by his own
act, to profit of the considerable sums which she has dis-
bursed only because he had given his full sanction to the
undertaking she
had rejected.

NEW BRIDGE FOR INVERNESS.—The County Fi-
nance Committee have had several meetings lately, to con-
sider. the Government proposal with regard to the erection
over the river Ness, on the site of the previous structure, de-
stroyed by the flood of 1849. On Tuesday last, a communica-
tion from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, through the
medium of Mr. 11. J. Baillie, M.P„ came under consideration ;
and we understand the proposal has been unanimously ap-
proved of. It must still receive the sanction of the county,
but there is little doubt that the heritors generally will
assent to the recommendation of their committee. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer offers a grant of one-half of the
expense, and to advance the other half on the principle of
the Drainage Act, at 61/2 per cent., to be raised by assess-
ment on the county. The town will thus secure a handsome
suspension bridge free of cost, and the public will have the
benefit of communication free of toll. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer has throughout the whole affair acted with great
liberality, and is entitled to the thanks of the northern corn-
munity.— invernen Courier.
