ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.

A large number of the Crimean soldiers invited to the
banquet arrived in town yesterday, and this morning
trains have brought up large parties from the country.
Yesterday a body of the troops arrived by special trains
at the terminus of the Great Southern and Western Rail-
I way, comprising detachments of the 63d, 14th, 28th,
38th, 48th, 57th, 90th, 50th, 13th Light Dragoons, 57th
Regiment, and 50 sailors and marines of her Majesty's
ship llcgue, now lying in Queenstown. The soldiers
were loudly cheered as they marched from the terminus
to their temporary quarters. Ninteeen privates and
one officer of the Royal Horse Artillery arrived by train
from Belfast last evening. Portions of the following re-
giments will arrive this morning :—The Bth Hussars,
13th, 47th. 88th, 50th, 21st, 3.1, 46(h, 62d, 68th. and
the 18th Royal Irish. The troops are to arrive in Beres-
ford-place before 12 o'clock, and to facilitate their
hasthe been
reeen-
trance into the banquet-hall a temporary bridge
thrown over the lock leading to the inner dock. The
cavalry in garrison will form in Beresford-place, and re-
main. under arms till the conclusion of the banquet.
CORK, Tuesday Morning.—A, special train leaves
Cork at seven o'clock this morning, conveying the medal
men selected from this district to be present at the na-
tional Crimean banquet, which is to take place in Dub-
lin to-morrow. The detachment from this city will com-
prise 1 officer and 19 men of the Royal Artillery, 1 offi-
cer and 25 men of the 50th Regiment, and 1 officer and
50 sailors and marines. Four officers and 114 men from
the depots of the 14th, 28th, 38th, 47th, and 95th Re-
giments will he taken up at Brittevant. From Limerick
there will be 2 officers and 57 men of the 9th, 17th, and
39th Regiments of Foot and 13th Light Dragoons • and
from Templemore 2 officers and 57 men of the 'l3th,
47cb, and 88th Ragiments. A large number of men from
the garrison at Fermoy will be taken up at Mallow.
Numbers will also be taken up at each of the stations
along the line, so that the train is likely to become a
monstrr one before its arrival at Dublin.
LIMERICK Tuesday.—Fifty-seven men and three offi
core of the 9th, 37th, and 17th Regiments left Limerick
this morning by the half-past seven train, to attend the

LATEST NEWS.

THE RUSSIAN FLEET FOR NAPLES.

HAMBURG, WEDNESDAY.

Four Russian men of war have arrived at Kiel.

They are the Viborg, Polkau, Castor, and Philoc-
tete. Their destination is the Mediterranean.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says :
"It is said the Neapolitan Cabinet has asked
England and France to suspend the withdrawal
of their respective missions, with a view of satia-
fying their demands. The Austrian Cabinet is
reported to have urged this mode of proceeding
at Naples. I know not what the result may be,
but I cannot learn that M. Brenier or Mr. Petre
have left Naples."

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition) says :
" A despatch has been received from Baron
Brenier announcing that if in. two hours from that
date he did not receive any communication from
the Neapolitan Government he should then pre-
sent his last instructions. What these " last
instructions" are is not stated ; but they very
probably require him to demand his passports,
unless the King gave some indication favourable
to the demands of the allies. The despatch of
Baron Brenier was dated from Naples, and after
the publication of the note in the Moniteur was
known by him. Another despatch informs us
that the King was about to disarm his ships at
Naples, Castellamare, and Palermo. The Mar-
quis Antonini is still in Paris, and, it is said, will
not leave until his passports are given to him by
the French Government, even though Baron
Brenier should quit Naples."

The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in a letter dated Oct. 19, says :
" During the last week or ten days the Con-
stantinople correspondents of the Austrian and
German papers have made mention of a project
which has been brought forward by the Porte for
the reorganisation of the Danubian Principalities,
but they must be in error, as such a step would
in opposition to the stipulations contained in
Articles 24 and 25 of the Treaty of Peace. Ac-
cording to the two paragraphs in question,
Divans ad hoc are to be convoked, whose
duty it will be to communicate to the Commis-
sion the wishes of the people in respect to the
definitive organisation of the two Princi-
palities. The opinions expressed by the two
Divans having been taken into duo considera-
tion, the Commission will send in its report to
the Paris Conference, which will definitively settle
with the Suzerein Power the question of the or-
ganisation of the Danubian Principalities. By
the foregoing it is to be seen [that the great
Powers did not intend to give to the Porte the
right to take the initiative in the matter of the

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
" The Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince
Imperial," says a letter from Compiegne, iu the
Morciteur, "continue to be the objects of the
greatest enthusiasm in this place. The Emperor
on Monday reviewed the Horse Chasseurs of the
Imperial Guard. The six squadrons of this regi-
ment were drawn up in line in the Avenue des
Beaux-Monts. After minutely inspecting this fine
regiment, his Majesty distributed several crosses
of the Legion of Honour and military medals, after
which the regiment filed off before him, amidst
loud cries of Vive l'Empereur I vive l'lmperatrice I
vive le Prince-Imperial !' The Empress was on
horseback near the Emperor during the whole of
the review. The persons invited to the palace were
arriving all Monday morning. During the last
two years the preoccupations of the war have
prevented their Majesties from visiting the Imperial
residences, at which they like to collect together
for a few weeks the representatives of the foreign
powers, the great personages of the country, and
foreigners of distinction."

A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels,
in speaking of the Imperial fetes at Compiegne,
says :—" The following is a sketch of the ceremo-
nial. The guests on their arrival are conducted to
their apartments by the Chamberlains, and after
having changed their travelling costume are pre-
sented to the Emperor and Empress before dinner.
The dress of the gentlemen is a frock coat in the
morning, and a dress coat and white neckcloth in
the evening. Ido not speak of those who take part
in the hunting, who wear a green cloth coat in the
morning, and one of green velvet in the evening,
with silk stockings coming over the knee, as in the
time of Louis XIV. The ladies also have two dif-
ferent official toilettes each day, and, as a matter
of course, never appear twice in the same dress.
At Compiegne each guest has only one room ; at
Fontainebleau, where there is more space, each
apartment will have a salon. Each lady is per-
mitted to keep a femme-de-chambre with her ; all
the other servants are placed together. The guests
who go on horseback bring their own horses with
them. The Emperor and Empress reserve to them-
selves, between the reception of each series of visi-
tors, a day or two of privacy and repose."
The Moniteur contains a decree making four pro-
motions to the rank of commander in the Legion
of Honour, five to that of officer, and 20 nomi-
nations to that of knight, among officers in diffe-
rent branches of the army.
The Moniteur publishes the additional convention
of extradition concluded between France and Bel-
gium, promulgated a few days back by the Moniteur
of Brussels.

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
IMPORTANT QUESTION OF COMMERCIAL INTERNATIONAL
LAW.-- HIRSCH, STROTIIER, AND CO., V. WONTERS.
Mr. Montague Leverson appeared as attorney for the
plaintiffs in this case, who are merchants at Brussels, to
apply for an order for the appointment of " experts" or
viewers of goods which had been transmitted from Cal-
cutta to London.
Mr. Leverson applied on a former occasion, and pro-
duced a decree of the Tribunal of Commerce, at Brus-
sels, requesting as an act of repriority that the Court
of Common Pleas or any other Court in England having
cognisance over disputes between merchants should re-
port to the Tribunal of Commerce. the opinions of the
" experts."
His Honour on that occasion doubted his jurisdiction.
Mr. Leverson submitted that his Honour, as judge of
the Sheriffs' Court of London, had a jurisdiction to any
amount by consent, but it was subsequently decided
that the City Sheriffs' Court for the recovery of
small debts had no authority in the matter, but under
the old jurisdiction the Court had extensive jurisdiction,
and a special Court was appointed for the purpose of
rehearing the argument.
Mr. Leverson now submitted the names of Mr. Gus-
tavus Dressler, of Idol-lane, seed merchant, and Mr.
W. Grahame, of the firm of Wilson, Rose, and Grahame,
as the ex parte or referees, which was assented to by the
other side, and made declaration to make a return.
The case is of a very peculiar nature. The Courts of
Common Pleas and the Tribunal of Commerce both
being in vacation, the only resort was to this Court to
exercise a power so seldom 'exercised as to have been
deemed almost obsolete.
London, England, 1856-10-23

EGYPT.

The contingent of the Egyptian army has just
been definitively fixed for Cie peace footing at
20,000 men. The infantry is composed of four
regiments of 8,000 men each, and a battalion of
riflemen of 1,000 men, armed with the most re-
cently-invented arms. These troops are excellent,
and it is known that they distinguished themselves
in the campaign of the Danube. They are organ-
ised and managed in the French method, and with
admirable regularity. The Viceroy, by a recent
resolution which merits remark, has re-established
in his army the turban, the large trousers, and a
costume which, in its ensemble, much resembles
that of the old Mamelukes.

The Nord of Brussels publishes the text of the
memorandum addressed by the Prince of Monte-
negro to all the cabinets of Europe. This docu-
ment contains nothing more than what was sum-
marily stated some time ago, viz., that Montenegro
demands :-1. The recognition of the independence
of the principality in a diplomatic form. 2. The
extension of its frontiers on the side of Herzgowine
and Albania. 3. The precise demarcation of the
frontiers on the Turkish side, as it has been effected
on the Austrian side. 4. The Annexation of Anti-
vani to Montenegro.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 14th says :--
" I have just heard, but without detail, that the
Emperor was in great danger the day before yes-
terday at Cronstadt in consequence of a collision.
During a review, at which his Majesty was present,
of a small squadron which is to cruise in the North
Sea, a brig, from some mismanagement, ran into
the Imperial steamer with considerable violence.
Several persons of the Emperor's suite who were
standing close to him on the deck of the vessel, and
some of the crew, were injured by the concussion."

The " Correspondance Autrichienne" defends the
occupation of the Principalities against the French
journals ; it declares the occupation absolutely
necessary, until the important question of the Bes-
sarabian frontier is settled. It affirms that Eng-
land (?), the Porte, and Austria are all of opinion
that the evacuation should be delayed till that
object shall be attained.

The "Bourse Gazette" of Berlin states that all
the Swiss officers in the Neapolitan service who are
now in Switzerland on leave of absence have re-
ceived orders to immediately join their regiments.

MARLBORO UGI3• STREET.

A DISHONEST SERVANT.—Thomas Almond and Mary
Buckthorns were placed at the bar before Mr. B'n,gbam,
the former prisoner charged with stealing a quantity of
tobacco, the property of Mr. Rogers, tobacco manufac-
turer, High-street, St. Giles; and the latter with receiv-
ing the same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. C. Lewis appeared for the female prisoner.

Franklin, 72 F, stated that, from information he had
received from the prosecutor, he was induced to watch
the prisoner, who was in his employ, and who was sus-
pected of robbing him. On Tuesday night last he saw
the prisoner leave prosecutor's shop, and he followed
him to the corner of Fox.conrt, Gray's-inn-lane, where
he (prisoner) was joined by another man, to whom he
delivered a parcel. The prisoner and his compa-
nion then went into a public-house, and the
other man shortly after left and took the parcel to
No. 1, Fox-court. The prisoner left the public-house,
but witness, in consequence of not having assistance
at band, did not then take him into custody. Last
night he watched the prisoner again, and about half-
past 8 he saw him leave his work, and, after dodging
him about for some time, he followed him to No. 1,
Fox•court, a chandler's shop. The female prisoner was
in the shop, and the prisoner gave her a parcel con-
taining tobacco, which she weighed and put away
behind the counter. She gave the prisoner some
money, and when he came out of the shop witness
took him into custody. Holmes, 50 F, who was with
witness at the time, took charge of the. woman. The
parcel of tobacco now produced was subsequently
found behind the counter.

David Fowkes, manager to the prosecutor, identified
the tobacco as the property of his employer. The pri-
soner bad been in their employ for about three years,
and latterly he had been given to drink and dishonest
habits.

Mr. Bingham asked whether the woman was known
at all?

Franklin said she was the wife of a porter in Gray's-

Mr. Bingham—Then how came she in the shop in
Fox-court ?

Mr. Lewin said he could explain that. The fact was,
the female who kept the shop was a friend of his client,
and having occasion to go out for the day, she requested
her (big client) to mind the shop for her, which she, out
of kindness, did. Her husband was a highly respectable
man, and he (Mr. Lewis) could assure the court that his
wife knew nothing whatever about the tobacco being
stolen.

The male prisoner pleaded guilty, and said drink was
he cause of his present disgrace. . .

Mr. Bingham committed him for two months. As
to the female there did not seem to be anything against
her ; he should therefore discharge her.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

We regret to state that Lota Lodge, one of the
most picturesquely-situated mansions m the neigh-
bourhood. of Cork, was destroyed by fire on Mon-
day morning. Lord Midleton, who rented it for
the summer months, had a narrow escape from the
burning building. The following particulars are
from the Southern Reporter :
"About 3 o'clock on Monday morning Lord Midle.
ton was awakened by a crackling noise, which appeared
to proceed from the library, the room generally occupied
by the family, and from whence they had retired to rest
on the previous evening, about half-past 10 o'clock. On
entering the lobby, his lordship observed that the stoat
mahogany door of the library was in flames, which, as-
cending towards the bedroom door, threatened to out off
all communication with the exterior. With great pre-
sence of mind his lordship at once took steps for the pre-
servation of life, and was providentially able to secure
the removal of Lady Midleton and the Hon. Miss Bro-
drick to the porter's lodge, at the extremity of the de-
mesne, on the Glanmire-road, and about a quarter of a
mile from the house. His lordship also despatched a
messenger to the Glanmire Police-barrack, which was
immediately responded to by Inspector Wade, with the
whole of the disposable f roe under his command, which
were distributed in such a manner as to preserve order
and prevent the abstraction of property. But, mean-
time, the flames, favoured by a S.W. wind whibh_ blew
upon the house, made fearful havoc. An express was
sent off to the city for an engine, which arrived about
o'clock, but watrof no value, as wator could flat be ob-
tained. Soon the whole of the interior, containing
costly furniture, silk damask curtains, valuable books,
prints, ornaments, tte., were a prey to the devouring
element, the progress of which was so rapid that hardly
a vestige of the woodwork or interior fittings remain.
While we write, the last remnant of the floors and fur-
niture are smouldering away, and the parts likely to re-
main uninjured are the conservatory and back premises,
from which some trifling articles of pottery wets alone
rescued. Horses having been obtained from Cork, about
six o'clock the family removed to the Imperial Hotel,
and we regret to learn that both Lord and Lady Midle.
ton received slight bruises in the hurry of escape. Every
possible assistance was given by neighbours, friends, and
working population. Colonel Beamish, J.P., was early
on the spot on horseback, and had the good luck to save
some articles of clothing. Dr. Tivy, Mr. Thorley, and
other gentlemen, were present, and the greatest sym-
pathy was evinced by all who witnessed the fearful visi-
tation and sufferings of this noble and estimable fami'y.
Lota Lodge is the property of James Smith. Barry,
Esq., and was merely rented by Lord Midleton for the
summer months. It was, perhaps, the handsomest villa
residence in the neighbourhood of Cork, beingconstructed
by the famous architect, Morrison, at a cost of 10,0001.
The house, we understand, was insured in the San and
London Union, for 3,7001. in each."

SOUTHWARK.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS ON A FEMALE AND HER
HUSBAND. —Arvin Stronincer, a sweep, was brought up
n custody, charged with committing a cowardly and
brutal assault on Mary Oliver, the wife of a mechanic
residing in Gravel lane. He was also charged with
assaulting the latter while attempting to protect his wife
from his further violence.

The female complainant, who appeared so weak from
the injuries received that she could not stand, stated
that on the previous night she went into the King of
Prussia Tavern, at the corner of Union-street, with her
husband, when she saw the prisoner there and two fe-
males with whom they were acquainted. They drank
together, and about twelve o'clock witness left
the house to go home. As soon as she got into the
street some one came behind her and struck her a
heavy blow on the side of the head, which felled
her to the earth. While on the ground she
received several kicks on her body. She believed the
prisoner to be the person who assaulted her, and he was
given into custody.
Ann Carter, the wife of Joseph Carter, said he was in
the house with the complainant, and they all drank
together. They had no words or quarrelling, but Mrs.
Oliver left them to go home. The prisoner followed her
out and knocked her down, after which he kicked her,
and he believed he would have murdered her had not
Mrs. Oliver and her husband come to her assistance.
John Oliver, the husband of the complainant, who
supported her during the examination, stated that when
his wife left the public-house he was about to follow her
when a friend called him back to speak to him. He
then heard a loud scream outside, and on proceeding to
see what was the matter he perceived his wife lying on the
pavement calling out for help, and the prisoner kicking
her violently. He immediately seized hold of him and
pulled him away, when he struck witness several times.
A policeman came up at the time and he gave him into
custody.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that they
had all been drinking together, and left the public house
at the same time. He denied assaulting the complain•
ant, who might have fell down and injured herself. He,
however, was very drunk, and hardly knew what he was
about.'

The Magistrate said it was a brutal assault, without
any provocation ; and, as a caution to him for the future,
he should commit him to the House of Correction for
three months, with hard labour.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 6th, it the Presse of
Brussels, describes the ceremony which accompa-
nied the presentation to the King 4f the insignia
of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.
After the ceremony a dinner was given at the pa-
lace, but much surprise was felt at 10 ladies or the
members of the French Embassy being present.
The King of Prussia already possesses
the French
Order of Holy Spirit, which wa; presented to
him tin 1817 by Louis XVIII. The King wore
this order the last time four or fiveyears back, on
the occasion of the visit of the Dull de Bordeaux
to Sans Souci.
Another letter from Berlin, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" some arrange-
ments having been made by the Milistry of State
for the furtherance of public badness, two or
three bills have been presented to the chambers.
The Minister of Justice, in britging forward
that on divorce, remarked that tie measure was
founded on the same principle as ware exemplified
in that presented to the chambers ;wo years ago,
and that the only difference was that it allows sepa-
ration under certain cases. The Mnisters of Jus-
tice and War also presented a bill Native to loans
made to minors, and intended to prevent prodiga-
lity and dissipation. From the past taken by the
Minister of War in this measure, tyre is reason to
suppose that it has been brought forward in conse-
quence of the scenes which lately axurred among
officers of the Prussian guard."

DISTRESSING INCIDENT AT SEA.

Considerable excitement was created on Mon-
day morning on the arrival of the Troubadour at
the North wall, it having been ascertained that out
of 300 sheep, 300 pigs, and 15 head of horned
cattle, constii using her deck freight, the greater
number of the two latter classes of animals were
lying dead on board, having perished on the pas-
sage, owing to the severity of the weather at sea.
On inquiry, it appeared that the Troubadour, a
merchant steamer, the property of Mr. Piedmont,
of Waterford, and commanded by Captain Birk,
left the port of Cork on the ebb of the morning
tide at 9.30 on Thursday last, the 4th inst., bound
for Milford. After putting to sea the steamer en-
countered the brunt of the heavy gale then blow-
ing in the channel, and was unable, owing to the
adverse wind and heavy sea, to make her destined
port. She had consequently to bear up, and keep
in mid-channel offshore. Her supply of fuel ran
short, and during the severity of the gale the
greater number of the pigs and many of the horned
cattle perished. On the fuel running short, and it
appearing inevitable that the vessel would drift
ashore and be lost unless the machinery was kept
in motion, the carcases of 150 of the dead pigs were
thrust into the boiler furnaces, and used as fuel,
together with every spar and piece of loose timber
on board, so as to keep up steam. After encoun-
tering dreadful weather, the Troubadour succeeded
in reaching Dublin harbour, and arrived at the
North-wall at half-past 8 o'clock yesterday morn-
morning. Police sergeant Jones and a body of
Police attended on duty at the wharf. Mr. Byrne
(clerk of the market) was also promptly in attend-
ance ; but the carcases of the dead animals have
not been disposed of, as it is expected that the
owners or shippers of the stock will arrive from
Cork this day. There was but one passenger on
board the steamer, and happily no loss of human
life has taken place, nor has any serious injury
been suffered by auy of the crew, although at one
period, it is said, the destruction of the vessel and
all on board her seemed imminent during the fury
of the storm. Police constables have been placed
on special duty to prevent the removal of the car-
cases of dead pigs, cattle, axe., until disposed of
under the direction of the clerk of the market.—

THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY

FRAUDS.

The prisoners Redpath and Kent were to-day again
placed at the bar of the Clerkeuwell Police-court, to
undergo another, and, it was expected, final, examina-
tion. The evidence brought forward was of a similar
character to that offered on Friday last, the nature of
which, it will be recollected, was to prove certain cases
of forgery against Redpath. The investigation into the
accounts of the Great Northern Railway Company is
still proceeding, and the defa'cations are not expected
to exceed the amount we mentioned a few days ago—
viz., 150,0001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day,

SOUTHWARK.

ROBBERY BY A SEBTANT.—WiIIiam Coutts, a respect-
able-looking man, was brought before Mr. Burcham,
charged with stealing a purse containing m ,ney, a quan-
tity of sugar, tea, coffee, and jam, the property of his
master, Mr. Bourne, grocer, Blackman-street, South-
wark.

Anscombe, 102 F, said that on the previous day he
apprehended the prisoner for steaiin,;', a purse containing
home money, having traced him from Holborn to the
prosecutor's shop. Afterwards he went to his lodgings,
Park-row, Park-road, Clapham, and on searching his
room he found a quantity of new clothing, eight pounds
of moist sugar, about a pound of tea, a canister of coffee,
and several cans of jam, all of which Mr. Bourne idea.
tified as having been stole❑ from his stock.
The prosecutor was next sworn, and he said that the
prisoner was connected with a very respectable family,
and he believed it was his first offence, consequently he
should strongly recommend him to mercy. The pro-
perty produced belonged to him, and had been taken
from his stock.

Mr. Burcham asked the prisoner whether he would
prefer pleading before him, or going to the sessions to be
tried ? If he took the former course he must plead
guilty, but he did not wish him to do so unless be liked.

The prisoner, who cried very much during the exami-
nation, said he was guilty. It was his first offence, and
he hoped his Worship would be merciful towards him.

Mr. Burnham told hiss he had bee❑ guilty of a ♦ery
serious offence, and one which was always punished
with great severity by the judges at sessions. He could
not pass over such a crime without inflicting severe
punishment, but not so long as he should have done had
not the prosecutor strongly recommended him to mercy.
He must be sentenced to three months' hard labour in
Wandasvor th House of Correction.

GREECE.

The King of Greece received on the day after
his return to Athens Baron de Brenner, Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary of Austria, who presented
his credentials. The baron on the occasion ad-
dressed his Majesty as follows :
" Sire,—The Emperor, my august master, in deigning
to accredit me to your Majesty with a higher rank than
my predecessors, desired thereby to give to your Ma-
jesty, his august cousin, a new proof of his high esteem
and friendship, and of the great importance which he
attaches to his being properly represented in Greece.
Happy in being the origin of these sentiments of the Im-
perial Court, I will endeavour to display the same feeling
in the relations which I shall persorally have to main-
tain with the Greek Government. I have the honour to
present to your Majesty the letters of recall of Baron
de Walter and my own credentials."
The King replied as follows
" The grade which it has pleased the Emperor of A us-
trio, my very dear cousin, to confer on his new repre-
sentative at my court, is undoubtedly an additional
proof of his sentiments of friendship for me—sentiments
which his Imperial Majesty has been so kind as to
testify to me on all occasions. The choice which the
Emperor has made of you, Monsieur le Baron, is the
more agreeable to me that I have had the pleasure of
knowing you previously, and have been able to appre-
ciate your merits."

The King the day after received Halil Bey, who
presented his credentials as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of the Sultan. In the speech which be
delivered on the occasion Halil Bey stated to
his Majesty that "the Sultan was animated by
a strong desire to continue without interrup-
tion the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood which now so happily exist be-
tween the two nations," and that he was
charged to give the King "a formal assurance
of the sincere and constant friendship of the
Sultan for the august person of his Majesty."
To this the King replied, that " he received the
declarations with pleasure, that he maintained the
same sentiments for the Sultan, and that he would
neglect nothing to maintain and render unchange-
able the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood between the two States." He concluded
with the customary compliment to the Minister
personally.

INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX.

:MEETING THIS DAY.

This afternoon a meeting of the inhabitants of the
Borough of Southwark, convened by the High Bailiff, in
accordance with a requisition that had been presented to
him was held at the Town-hall, Southwark, to consider
and adopt the most effectual means for the immediate
reduction of the Income aad Property-tax.

Mr. Pritchard, Esq., High Bailiff, in the chair.

Amongst those present were Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P.,
Mr. Collinson, Mr. Vickers, Mr. Burrell, Dr. Challice,
Mr. White, Mr. Newsome, &c.
The HIGH BAILIFF having announced the object of
the meeting,
Mr. VICKERS proposed the following resolution :
" That this meeting consider that the present Income-
tax of ls. 4d. in the pound is, from its enormous amount,
the mode of its assessment, and its despotic and inquisito-
rial character, most oppressive and unjust towards the
professional, manufacturing, and commercial interests of
the country, and feel that its continuance beyond the sth
of April next will be a violation of promise made at the
time of its enactment, and a breach of good faith on the
part of the Government."

In enforcing the resolution, he referred to the origin of
the tax, and that peace having been proclaimed the
Government ought to relax the tax.

Mr. COLLINSON seconded the resoluti'm, believing the
time was come for the public to speak its mind on the
subject and call for its immediate reduction. It would
not be honest on the part of the Government to take
advantage of any quibble between the time of the signa-
ture and ratification of the treaty of peace to refuse the
redaction of this tax.

The resolution was carried unanimously.
Dr. CHALLICE moved the next resolution, and in doing
so, said that the feeling of the borough was unanimous on
this question, and they were determined not to support
candidates to represent them on another occasion who
did noc u,e their influence to compel the Government,
if necessary, to reduce the tax to 7d. in the pound.
