CHURCH RATES.—At a meeting of the vestry and
ratepayers of St. Clement Danes. Strand, yesterday
evening, the Rector in the chair, it was resolved, by
way of amendment, upon a proposal to levy a Church
ra•e of 2d. in the pound, that no Church rate should be
made. A poll was then demanded, and will take place
on Monday next.—Cemberwell is now the scene of a
Ct.urch-rate contest. At a meeting of the ratepayerA,
held yesterday, in the National Schoolroom, New
Church-road, the Rev. Samuel Smith, incumbent of the
parish, in the chair, a motion for a rate of 2d. in the
pound was met by as amendment by Mr. Fowler,
-,econded by Mr. Box, "That in consequence of the
decision of the House of Commons on the subject of
Church rates, it is inexpedient to make a rate." The
motion for the rate having been carried by a small majo-
rity, a poll was demanded by the voluntary party, which
is fixed to take place on Monday.—ROCHOSTEB.— On
y•—
Thursday last vestry meetings were called in the two
parishes of St. Margaret and St. Nicholas, for the pur-
pose of levying a rate. In the former the proposition
was negatived by so great a number that no pol was
demanded on the part of those favourable to the rate.
In St. Nicholas, also, the rate was opposed by a large
majority at the vestry, and a poll having been demand-
,i, the result confirmed the previous decision, there
,eing for the rate 79, against it 129.

Translated from 'he Merman of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickiord ts known to English renders by his frequent practi-
cal contribution: to German medical literature. This is the first

other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his p4wer to cor-
rect."—Londor Medical Gazette. "The tribe of' ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
Wald find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we arc satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to th.
empirical system of treating Spermatorrlicea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and rihv.inlovicAl basis. It is, therefore

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 9th in the
Plessager du, Midi says :
" The Circassian deputation, composed of 220
persons, which has been at Constantinople for some
time past, left on the sth on board the• Ottoman
steam-frigate the Mouhbiri-Sorour, which is to
transport them to Anapa. The munitions of war
in the latter place are to fall, it is said, to the share
of the Cirlassians. Etch member of the commis-
sion received from the Porte a sum equivalent
to ten pounds sterling. A circumstance has
just occurred here which has caused a great
sensation. Two days ago three or four Tuni-
sian soldiers got into a boat to proceed a little
distance down the shore. Some dispute arose be-
tween them and the boatman concerning the fare,
and they drew their swords on the man. He,
in terror, took refuge on board a neighbouring
vessel, and the Tunisians followed him and were
about to treat him ill, when the crew of the vessel
repulsed them with vigour, and one of the assailants
had his arm broken. They then returned to land,
and endeavoured to excite the populace against the
crew of the vessel, but finding that they could not
do anything, they were on the point of withdraw-
ing when a Greek sailor landed, and they imme-
diately rushed on him, declaring that he was one of
the men who had ill-treated them ; he denied the
fact most energetically, but his protestations were
all in vain, and they seized him, beat him, and tied
his hands together. At that moment, a Tunisian
captain came up, and on hearing.what had occurred
drew his sword and very coolly stabbed the sailor
several times until this latter was dead. He then
retired without any one attempting to arrest him,
the soldiers of a neighbouring Turkish fort refusing
to interfere, declaring that they had received orders
not to interfere with the Tunisians. The Greek
Legation, however, has taken the matter up most
warmly, and the captain has been arrested, and
will be inimedsiattheelyfbolrloouwgihntg

THE TUtiKISH CONTING ENT.

The following Artillery Division Order by Major-
General Dickson, C. 8., was issued on the breaking up
of the Turkish Contingent at Kertch :
" KERTCII, May 24.—Th artillery of the Turkish
Contingent having been ordered to break up, and the
several batteries and companies of field and garrison ar-
tillery being about to rejuin the Turkish army, the Major-
General cornmanding the Artillery cannot allow the 136-
tin officers who have been employed under his command
to quit the force without returning his very best thanks
for the great zeal and attention displayed by them in the
performance of their duties, and for the readiness and
good-will will which he has been supported by them en
all occasions. They have, by their judicious management,
secured the respect and obedience of the Turkish officers
and men placed under their command.
"A Division Memorandum has already been addressed
to the commandant of batteries and garrison artillery pre-
vious to their embarkation, thanking them for their zeal,
and requesting theta to communicate to the Turkish
officers and men under their orders how wed satisfie'
he is with them, and with the creditable state of order
and discipline to which they had attained.
" The Major-General cannot allow Brigadier Hall to
give up the command of the field artillery withou; re-
turning his very best thanks for the unriring zeal and
energy displayed by him on all occasions ; the high state
of efficiency of the field artillery, and the exceller:t con-
dition of the horses, and the general equipment of the
batteries are entirely owing to the admirable manner in
which the Brigadier has performed the duties of his com-
mand.

" The manner in which the duties of the Artillery
Staff have been carried on by Major Gosling, Captains
Heathorne, Battiscombe, and Lyons, is highly creditable
to those officers, and thanks are due to them f,r the
great zeal and ability displayed in the performance of
their duties.

" To Staff-Surgeon Irvine and to the officers of his dt-
partmenktbe Major-General's best thanks are due for
the great attention paid to the comfort and wants of the
sick, and he cannot speak too highly of the excellent ar-
rangement of the hospitals and the great care bestoweJ
by Staff-Surgeon Irvine upon their management.
" The Major-General cannot conclude without return-
ing his best thanks to Mr. Bake, the C )inmissary-in-
Chief of the Field-train Department, for bii zealous
exertions in carrying out the numerous and difficult
duties assigned to Lim, and his talent and ability a.;
head of a large and important branch of the Artillery
service, has been*rnost conspicuous.

WORSHIP-STREET.

THE BURGLARY AT STAbfFORD-HlLL.—Edward Towers,
IVill iarn, Fleckltart, and Henry Norwood, who stood
charged with having burglariously entered and plunder-
ed the dwelling-house of Mrs. Isabella Humphreys, an
aged widow lady, living at Stamford-hill, and John
Paton, one of the warders of the Stirling Castle, convict
hulk, at Portsmouth, who was alleged to have received
a portion of the stolen property, were placed at the bar
for further examination.—ln consequence of an intima-
tion from Mr. Rush, solicitor to the prosecutrix, to the
effect that the nervous system of the unfortunate lady
had been so dangerously impaired from the flagrant per-
sonal violence to which she had been subjected by the
burglars, that she was unable to attend in court, Mr.
D'Eync-airt proceeded in a cab to her residence in order
to receive her depositions, which were taken down by
Mr. Phillips, the chief clerk, in the presence of the
prisoners, who were also conveyed to the house in
charge of several officers to afford an opportunity
for their identification.--After detailing the parti-
culars of the abortive attempt to rob her house
on the part of a man ;Thom she believed to be the pri-
soner Fleckhart, and a woman named Perkins, in the
mouth of February last, the prosecutrie proceeded as
follows :—I remember the night of the burglary, when I
heard a loud noise down stairs, and awoke my servant,
who slept in the same room with me. I instantly sat up
in the bed, and my servant hastily dressed herself and
ran down stairs. I beard a scream irrimeoliately after-
wards, and then heard the footsteps of more than one
person running up stairs. Two or three men then rushed
into my bedroom, one of whom. held my right band
down by my side and the other held my left. It looked
like two black dogs jureping on the bed. The men said
to me " Where is your money ?" I screamed for assist-
ance, when one of them placed his band over my eyes, at
the same time grasping me by the throat, so that I could
scarcely breathe. When they found that they took their
hands from my throat and mouth, and saki to me, " We
have killed your servant, and now we'll kill you." The
man on my left side then put a rope round my right
wrist, and tied my hands together, and he then passed
the rope to my legs and bound them also. They then
tied a handkerchief which they had passed round my
mouth to the back of my head, and placed two pillows
over my head, which deprived me cf breath, and I was
ad but dead. They then proceeded to break open every
drawer and locked place in the room, and one of them
forced from my neck a silver watch which is now pro-
duced by the police. There were a great number of sove-
reigns and other money in the drawers, together with
plate, consisting of a silver teapot, several forks, spoons,
two gold watches, a diamond ring, and other jewellery,
the whole of which I afterwardo found had been carried

Xi R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
_Y R street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
uaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

PARMA.

The Opii)ione of Turin of the 17th says :
" If we are well informed, the dispute which had
arisen at Parma between the Austrian command-
ant and the local authorities has received an un-
expected solution. The Austrian military com-
mandant insisted upon extending his inquiries and
condemnations to facts anterior to those which had
caused the state of siege ; the local authorities,
supported by the Duchess, refused their assent ;
whereupon Count Crenneville declared that he
would not protect the Government any longer, but
would leave it to its own resources. He has been
taken at his word, and the Government has imme-
diately opened the State (prisons. 'What will be
the result of this step we do not know.'
ITALY.

A letter dated Genoa, June 17, says—" The
only concession the Papal Court seems as yet dis-
posed to make is to agree to the departure of the
French and Austrian troops, and the substitution of
a pontifical army, if Gen. Farina can contrive to
form one. Cardinal Antonelli has instructed the
curates to pick out those among their penitents
who are, by their years and physical constitution,
best qualified for military service, and to bring the
influence of the confessional to bear upon them in
order that they may be prevailed upon to become
soldiers. But the experience of 1848 has shown
that even pontifical troops may be easily induced
to side with the revolutionary party. The Holy
See would for this reason prefer Swiss to natives ;
but the English, French, and Neapolitan levies in
the Helvetic cantons have exhausted the disposable
recruits of Switzerland. An application has, there-
fore, been made to France, not to allow her two
regiments to remain at Civita Vecchia, for the car-
dinals have little affection for the generals sent
them by Napoleon 111., but to band over to the
Pope the Helvetic Legion raised during the war,
and stationed at present at Dijon. The reply of
the Emperor to this application is unknown. True,
the Legion has received orders to hold itself in
readiness to march to Marseilles ; but it is quite
uncertain whether its destination is to be Algiers
or Civita Vecchia.

THE CALEtiONIAN BALL.

Yesterday evening the annual grand fancy dress ball
in aid of the funds of the Caledonian Asylum took p;ac,
at Willie's Rooms, with more eban its usual brilliancy
and eclat. The dresses upon this occasion wore fay
more gorgeous and varied than usual, the majority of
them being the same as those worn at the late fancy
dress ball for the Royal Academy of Music. The ball-
room was decorated in the most tasteful manner, flngs
and various ornamental devices being displayed in differ-
ent parts of the room ; while from the ceiling there hung
the distinguishing banners of upwards of 20 of the most
celebrated of the Scottish clans. The aristocratic pat-
rona.,.4e usually bestowed upon this ball was not want-
ing on this occasion, and notwithstanding the numerous
fashionable entertainments which took place last
night and the unfavourable weather, the attendance
was not only numerous, but very select. Four fancy
quadrilles had been arranged by the ladies patro-
nesses, for the purpose of relieving it from the dull
monotony of ta military fete, into which it was fast de-
generating, the fancy costumes having become more and
more scarce on the last few occasions, while the military
uniforms predominated proportionally. Setting aside
the fancy quadrilles, however, this was not the case last
night ; for the Buckinghams, Rochesters, Cnarles IL's,
and similar costumes from that period, were very nume
rous, while Turkish officers, Spaniards, Greeks, E,45-p-
Cane, Russians, and, in fact, representatives of every
nation under the sun, mingled together in the ball-room.
At about half-past ten o'clock the Highland quadrille,
led by the Duchess 3f Roxburgh and Lady Anne Mac-
kenzie, and Lady Aveland's quadrille, proceeded from
the tea-room, in which they had assembled, and took
' up their positions--the Highland quadrille at the upper
end of the room, and Lady Aveland's at the lower end.
In the Highland quadrille and the reels, the ladies
wore white dresses, looped up, and trimmed with
flowers, and the badges of the clans, with belted plaids.
Tho head dress was of flowers to correspond. The gen-
tlemen wore the Highland costume, with the distinguish-
ing plaids of their clans. Dancing was kept up till a late
hour in the morning.

THE MELTON MURDERS.

The convict, William Brown, whom the police are in
search of, has not yet been discovered, although every
effort is being made to trace him. On Thursday after-
noon, bloodhounds were put on the scent, and tracked
from the toll-gate to a barn where Brown was seen the
night before the murder, but no further traces were ob-
tained. Two or three neighbouring spinnies were
searched by both the police-officers and the blood-
hounds.

The adjourned inquest was held at 7 o'clock on Thurs.
day evening.
Alfred Routen, baker, of Asfordby, spoke to finding
the corpses of the old man and his grandchild at 3 40
on Thursday morning. The old man lay against the
door in a pool of blood, and the child on a bed in the
next room with its throat cut. A pistol lay against the
old man, and a bullet which had passed through him fell
out of his coat.

Mr. Thomas Barwes, surgeon, spoke to finding a
bullet-wound and twelve stabs about the body of the old
man, and to making a post mortem examination of the
two bodies.

Jos. Burbidge, cottager, of Thorpe Arnold, deposed
that on Tuesday afternoon Brown came to his house,
and in the course of conversation asked if old Woodcock
lived by himself. Next; day witness saw Woodcock,
who told him that Brown had been making similar iu
quiries of him.
John Carpendale, William Moore, and Henry Read,
all spoke to Brown having made inquiries about Wood-
cock, trying to elicit if he lived by himself.
Thomas O'Hare deposed that on the night before the
murder he saw Brown in a hovel very near the to:i gate.
He said he was resting there. He was taking his shoes
off and had his stockings on.
The inquest was adjourned until Saturday.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FIELD GUNS.

Oil Saturday some interesting experiments were tried
at Manchester with a new riled brass field piece, the in-
vention of Mr. Whitworth, the well-known machine
maker. The casting of the metal bad taken place at
Woolwich, and was of the dimensions ordinarily used for
24-pounder howitzer,, having what is termed a polygonal
spiral bore of 4 inches. Iron shot were used of a form
termed polygonal colloidal, the length of 321 b. balls be-
ing 11 inches, and that of 48-pounders being 164 inches.
The experiments were made by men of the Royal Artil-
lery force, stationed at Manchester, under the direction
of Col. Griffin and Capt. Campbell. • Lieut.-G,n. Sir H.
Smith was on the ground, during the greater part of the
time ; and Mr. Westley Richards, who has been super-
intending experiments at the works of-Mr. Whitworth
for some time past, gave his assistance. A large party
of Manchester gentlemen were present, by invitation of
Mr. Whitworth, including Mr. W. Fairbairn, C.E.
The following were the extraordinary results of the
experiments :

Charge of Weight Angle of
Powder. of Ball. Elevation. Range.
Experiment 1... 2oz 321 b '45 deg 423 yards
2... 3oz 321 b 45 deg 621 yards
3... 3oz 321 b 45 deg 617 yards
4... 3ez 481 b 45 deg 420 yards
ft
5_ soz 481 b 45 deg 735 yards
6... 6oz 481 b 20 deg 600 yards
7... 7oz 481 b 20 deg 687 yards
It will be seen that the heaviest charge of powder for
a 4816 shot, fired at an angle of 45 degrees, was only five
ounces, and that the distance at which the ball struck
the ground was 735 yards, and the extent of the prac-
tising ground would not admit with safety of any in.
crease of charge.
Some ricochet practice followed afterwards, the re-
sults of which appeared to be highly satisfactory to the
scientific gentlemen present. The muzzle of the gun in
these experiments had an elevation of only two and
three degrees. The last experiment was at two degrees
elevation, with a 481 b shot, having a charge of 4oz of
powder, and the shot first grazed the earth at a distance
of 83 yards, and never rose to a height of more than
three to four feet.

BALANCE OF F.ARTIES AT OXFORD.

OXFORD, SATURDAY.
The election thig afternoon of a professor, as a member
of the hebdomadal council, in the room of Professor
Wikon, whose term of office as professor of moral phi-
losophy had expired, was the occasion of a struggle be-
tween the two parties in the University designated
high church and low church. Dr. Jacobson, Regius
Professor of Divinity, was the candidate of the for-
mer, and Dr. Macbride, Principal of Magdalen Hall,
Lord Almoner's Reader in Arabic, was the candidate of
tie latter. The polling commenced at 2 O'clock, and was
continued with unabated vigour until 3, the time ap-
pointed for its closing. Nearly all the heads of houses
and resident professors recorded their votes. So well
balanced were the parties, that each was alternately at
the head of the poll, from its opening to its close.
At 3 o'clock the proctors cast up the votes, the num-
ber- being, for Dr. Jacobson, 71 ; Dr. Macbride, 69.
The election of a member of convocation to iit at the
hebdomadal council iii the room of Mr. Mozley, of Mag-
dalene College, who had resigned, was also well contested.
The candidates were Mr. Randolph, burger and fellow of
Merton College, and Mr. Hedley, tutor and fellow of
University College. At the el. se of the poll the votes
were—for Mr. Randolph, 76 ; for Mr. Hedley, 68. Ma-
jority for Mr. Randolph, 8.

FINLAND.

A correspondence in the Pays states that the
Czar lately declared publicly to the president of the
Senate of Helsingfors that it was his intention
shortly to convoke the General Assemby of Fin-
land. In the treaty signed at Frederiksham in
1809, by which Finland was definitively annexed
to Russia, it was declared that this province
should continue to enjoy its old constitution, and
that a general assembly should be held, as of
right every five years, for the purpose of consi-
dering , such' questions of general interest as
it might be for the benefit of the country to
bring under the notice of the Emperor. Notwith-
standing the positive stipulations of this conven-
tion, the national assembly has never been con-
voked but once, and that was so long ago as 1811.
The Finnish provinces have been in many respects
better treated other parts of the Russian empire,
but the Czars have hitherto steadily refused to
convoke the national assembly.

THE BALTIC.
HAMBURG, April 12.—We learn from Kiel that
the linperieuse, Euryalus, and Pylades, screw
frigates, with the Harrier corvette, and two other
small vessels, have left this port on their return to
England.
The Stockholm Aftonbladet of the 6th mentions
that from letters received from the frontiers of
Finland the Finnish peasantry were suffering much
from the great pressure felt in consequence of the
vast number of troops quartered upon them.
