CHELMSFORD—Nov. 14.

There was a good supply of wheat today, but the mer•
chants were very cautious in their purchases, the millers
being the principal buyers ; the price throughout being
fully 1!s a quarter lower •n the Feeo n d -rate qualities, and
is on the best. Spring corn about the same as last week,
but the finest malting barley barely maintained its price;
the second-rate quality is to 2s cheaper, and at that reduc-
tion very dull.

The Lord Bishop of Lincoln has appointed Dr. Tra-
vers Twiss to the office of Chancellor of the Diocese of
Lincoln, vacant by the decease of Dr. Haggard.
NOTE ON TRAFALGAR.—Lord Nelson's well-knowis
valet, Torn Allen, lived for some time close to me, being
then retained in the service of Wm. Bolton. I met Tom
almost every day in my walks, and often got into chat
with him about his brave and noble master, Lord Nel-
son. Among other thing, I spoke of his wearing his
decorations at Trafalgar. Now Tom, who had been with
him in so many other engagements, was by mere acci-
dent prevented from arriving in time on that last memo-
rable occasion, having left London after his lordship, and
not arriving till the battle was over, and his master's
career of glory brought to,a brilliant close. But it may
be amusing to record Toms opinion and observations.
He said, " I never told anybody that if I had been there
Lord Nelson would not have been killed ; but this I
have said, and say again, that if I had been there he
should not have put on that coat. He would mind me
like a child, and when I found him bent on wearing hi.
finery before a battle, I always prevented him-" "Tom,"
he would say, "I'll fight in my best coat." "No,
" Why not, Tom 1" " Wby, my
l
oyrodu,
fightthe
sli a u nt:att.
;le first, and then I'll dress you up in
all your stars and garters, and you'll look something like.
my lord,
Thus poor old faithful Tern Allen gave himself credit for
having saved his master's life by his rigid discipline in at-
tire on former occasions, and it was evident that he was of
opinion that he should have saved it once mora at Trafal-
gar. Tom's account of other memorable events of Nelson'.;
life were given with equal naivete. Tits old age was rendered
comfortable in Greenwich Hospital, where he held the
Office of powterer till his death.—Notes and Queries.

DUTY ON TEA.

Various rumours having been circulated that it was
doubtful if the Government intended to reduce the duty
on tea from ls. 9d. to ls. 3d. before April, 1858, and
the question being of great importance to the trade, an
inquiry has been addressed to the Board of Customs, to
which the following reply has been received
" Custom House, Nov. 17, 1856.

" Sir, I am directed by the Commissioners of her
Majesty's Customs to acquaint you, in reply to your ap-
plication of the 11th inst., that the reduction of duty on
tea from ls. 91 to is. 3d. per lb., will take place on the
tith April, 1857.—1 am, sir, your obedient servant,

IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN PARIS.

An old gentleman of property, aged 76, stopped a few
evenings ago at the widow of a print hop on the Boule-
vards to look at the engravings, occasionally making use
of a valuable eyeglass to assist his sight. As he was
about to quit the spst, he found to his annoyance that
the eyeglass had been cut from the cord to which it was
attached, and, as he valued it very highly, he broke out
into lamentations. A crowd soon collected round him,
and presently a well-dressed, gentleman-like looking
man, said, " Sir, I perceive your loss causes you great
emotion, and therefore I offer you my arm to accompany
you home." The old gentleman took the stranger's arm,
and as they walked along told him that he was going
to dine at the house of a relative, M. de R
The
stranger listened to him with such interest that the old
gentleman became loquacious, and gave him an account
of the various circumstances of his life ; and, amongst
other things, he related, with evident prde, that a Ger-
man prince had, for some services rendered, made him
a present of a valuable dinner service in silver-gilt,
and be described with some minute'', ss the princi-
pal articles composing it ; he also said that his valet
being absent in Belgium, he had then only an old
female servant in his house. When the old gentleman
had arrived at the residence of M. de It--, he took
leave of the stranger, and, handing him his card, gave
him a pressing invitation to visit him. The stranger
went straight to the gentleman's house, and said to the
old servant, "I come from your toaster, who is at this
moment dining with M. de It--, to request you to
give me certain certain articles of his dinner service,
which he requires for a personage of distinction, who is
unexpectedly to dine with that gentleman," and he gave
a description of the articles. As the servant, however,
hesitated to give them he said, "To con vice you that I
really come from your master, here is his eyeglass and a
card bearing his name and address." On seeing these
objects the woman without further hesitation gave the
man the things he asked for, and be went away. But
he bad not gone far before a man tapped him on the
shoulder, and said, " My good Louis P--, be kind
enough to follow me to the commissary of police !"
The person thus addressed turned deadly pase, and
looked round as if contemplating flight ; but as he saw
a policeman approaching he intimated that he would
accompany him. The man who had addressed him was
a police agent in plain clothes, and he had seen the
robbery of the eyeglass. He at the same time recog-
nised the thief as a dangerous pickpocket, who con-
fined his operations to the higher classes, and vihcshad
only recently returned to Paris from the German water-
ing places. Thioking that after the robbery on-the
Boulevards he would attempt some other, the officer,
instead of arresting him at once, followed him at a
little distance. The thief, who has been frequently in
the bands of justice, belongs to a respectable family.
He has been sent to the Prefecture of Police to await
his trial.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Debuts offers the following comments on a
late article published by the Post :
"The language employed by the majority of the Lon-
don journals is not of a nature to facilitate the solution
of existing difficulties, or to maintain and draw closer the
friendly relations of the two countries. We believe that
the English press attaches a great value to the main
teiance of the alliance between England and France, a
value equal to that which we attach to it ourselves. And
we likewise are partisans of the English alliance ; we
desire it to-day as we desired it ten years ago ; but we wish
it to be founded on conditions which form the necessary
basis of every alliance' that is, on a condition of perfect
and absolute equality between the two parties. We can-
not admit amongst the conditions of the alliance the obli-
gation which it is sought to impose on the Emperor Na.
poleon, of changing one of his ministers, simply because
that minister displeases England. On such conditions the
alliance would become intolerable, or, rather, no alliance
could exist, for between France and England an alliance
is only possible when it imposes no sacrifice on the
honour, independence, and dignity of the two nations.
This is the manner in which we understand, and have
always understood, the English alliance ; it is certainly
thus that it is comprehended in France. In the article
of the iforning Post, which we reproduce, it is as-
serted that all the governments of France who have not
maintained and treated with consideration the English
alliance have been punished. This declaration is singular.
But there are other pretensions no less singular in the
said article. What can we reply for example to the ac-
cusation against the Emperor of Russia of sending the
princesses of his family abroad on political missions l In
verity, if the Russian princesses can no longer enjoy the
liberty of travelling in Europe without an outcry being
raised by the English journals to the effect that a violation
of the treaty of Paris has taken place, we cannot
understand where such exigencies are to cease. The
treaty of Paris would appear to have been concluded
with the view of extending the critical propensities of
the English press over all Europe, and over the rela-
tions of private as well as public life ! France can
certainly never submit to such singular pretensions."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DESPERATE ASeAULT ON A CONSTABLII.—John Hag.
gerty, a ruffianly looking fellow, was charged before Mr.
Bingham with violently assaulting Goddard, 302 A,
under the following circumstances.
The constable, whose head was dreadfully cut and
bruised, stated that on the previous night he was at the
top of Crown street, Soho, when he saw the prisoner
carrying a bag with something heavy in it, on his
shoulder. He followed him to a marine store shop in
the same street into which he went, and taking a lot
of lead from the bag placed it in the scale. 'Witness
entered she shop and asked prisoner where he got the
lead from. The prisoner pretended to know nothing
about the lead he bad put in the scale, and said
he was about baying some lead, and not selling
any. Witness told him lead was not sold that way,
and taxed him with stealing it. The prisoner again
denied all knowledge of the lead, and at that mo-
ment the shopkeeper came out and said he was
about buying it of the prisoner when he (the officer)
came in. Witness then took the prisoner into custody,
with the lead produced, weighing 521b5., in his posses.
sion. Ou the way to the station-house the prisoner
became very violent, and swore he would not go to the
station. He then kicked witness in a dangerous part of
his person, and felled him to the ground, and while he
was lying on the pavement he kicked him again about
the head and face, and nearly knocked out one of his
oyes. At length, after a desperate struggle, lie suc-
ceeded in conveying him to the station-house.
Mr. Charles Field, the owner of several houses in
Dudley-street, identified the lead as having been stolen
from the roof of one of his houses.

The prisoner denied the oharge of stealing the lead,
but admitted striking the officer in self-defence.

Mr. Bingham committed the prisoner for two months
for stealing the lead, and a month in addition for the
assault on the constable.

The borough of Chesterfield is at present in an awk-
ward predicament, in consequence of being without a

a chief magistrate cannot be elected until the 9th of next

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Debats offers -the following comments on a
late article published by the Post :
"The language employed by the majority of the Lon-
don journals is not of a nature to facilitate the solution
of existing difficulties, or to maintain and draw closer the
friendly relations of the two countries. We believe that
the English press attaches a great value to the main-
tenance of the alliance between England and France, a
value equal to that which we attach to it ourselves. And
we likewise are partisans of the English alliance ; we
desire it to-day as we desired it ten years ago ; but we wish
it to be founded on conditions which form the necessary
basis of every alliance, that is, on a condition of perfect
and absolute equality between the two parties. We can-
not admit amongst the conditions of the alliance the obli-
gation which it is sought to impose on the Emperor Na•
poleon, of changing one of his ministers, simply because
that minister displeases England, On such conditions the
alliance would become intolerable, or, rather, no alliance
could exist, for between France and England an alliance
is only possible when
.it imposes no sacrifice on the
honour, independence, and dignity of the two nations.
This is the manner in which we understand, and have
always understood, the English alliance ; it is certainly
thus that it is comprehended in France. In the article
of the Morning Post, which we reproduce, it is as-
serted that all the governments of France who have not
maintained and treated with consideration the English
alliance have been punished. This declaration is singular.
But there are other pretensions no less singular in the
said article. What can we reply for example to the ac-
cusation against the Emperor of Russia of sending the
princesses of his family abroad on political missions ? In
verity, if the Russian princesses can no longer enjoy the
liberty of travelling in Europe without a❑ outcry being
raised by the English journals to the effect that a violation
of the treaty of Paris has taken place, we cannot
understand where such exigencies are to cease. The
treaty of Paris would appear to have been concluded
with the view of extending the critical propensities of
the English press over all Europe, and over the rela-
tions of private as well as public life ! France can
certainly never submit to such singular pretensions."

Sicily, if King Ferdinand 11. remained obdu-
rate. It does not appear at all probable that
such an experienced diplomatist as Sir Hamilton
Seymour would show the cards of his Government
"to the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, but

it certainly has retched my ears that he is not
entirely satisfied with the policy of the Austrian
Cabinet in the Neapolitan question. By the by,
information which probably deserves full confi-
dence has reached me from Naples, that the Laz-
zareni and some of their scoundrel patrons have
got up a plot for massacring the resident English
and French, if their Governments should take any
hostile measures against the King.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says :
" The German journals declare that Russia has
addressed a circular despatch to all the' Powers
represented in the treaty of Paris, on the Ser-
pents' Island and Bolgrad. questions. It is
believed that the Czar withdraws his claims ; but,
if I am correctly informed, on unacceptable con-
ditions."

A private letter from Madrid, dated the 15th,
confirms the appointment of Gonzales Bravo to the
Embassy of London.

A Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette,
who is generally well-informed, states that " Franca
has made concessions to England in the frontier,
and England to France in the congress question.

THE MISSING AUSTRALIAN VESSELS.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
The following clippers are now overdue from Aus-
tralian ports :—The Phcenician, which sailed from Syd-
ney, July 22, for London, crew out 116 days ; ibe James
Baines, sailed from Melbourne, August 8, out 103 days ;
and the Lightning, sailed from. Melbourne about August
26, out about 85 days ; the two latter for Liverpool. A
letter respecting the James Baines was received in Liver-
pool yesterday morning, from a member of Lloyd's,
inquiring at what rate insurances could be effected 9n
te said vessel, intimating that 12 to 15 per cent. was
being asked at Lloyd's. In reply, a tele-, ro raphic es•
sage was sent up requesting an order and limits. To
this a further letter has been received in reply, dated
yesterday, stating that " the excitement has consider .
ably gone down in London about the James Baines,
from the fact of there being no later arrivals, and that
no such rates are now being paid."
The captain of the ship Vision just arrived from
China, reports having passed the Phoenician, from Syd-
ney to London, Oct. 23, lat. 20 N, long. 32 W. The
Phcenician sailed from Sydney 13 days before the James
Baines left Melbourne. The Vision experienced light
easterly winds from St. Helena to the Western Islands,
and from thence fresh easterly winds to Land's-end.

THE MURDER AT WORCESTER.

The inquest on the body of Lucy Tredwell, late a
servant at an hotel in Worcester, and who was found in
the canal in that city on Saturday last (as already de-
tailed in this journal), was concluded on Tuesday night,
before Mr. R. T. Rea, the coroner. In addition to the
evidence previously given, Mr. Everett, the surgeon who
made the post mortem examination, gave his opinion
that death had been caused by the injuries on the head.
IN. human fist or any other hard substance would produce
the injuries over the nose, and a fall might have caused
the wound at the back of the head. It did not follow,
however, that the blows were the immediate cause of
death, for she might have been thrown into the water in
a state of insensibility produced by the blows, and there
have died. A cut about two inches long had been in-
flicted under the chin.
Henry Mapp deposed that he met the deceased in the
street about 9 o'clock, when she parted Company with
Brace. She was walking fast, and another young man
was following her, and she did not want to have any
" conversation" with him. William Thomas then came
up (he had been Considered the girl's sweetheart), and
Thomas threatened to "warm him" if he spoke to the
that girl. [Thomas was present at the inquest, but was not
examined.]
George Stephen, a resident near to the canal, deposed
and heard a faint cry of
on the morning of Oct. 28, about 4 o'clock, he heard
cries of distress from a woman as if from the canal. He
got upwas still, ll "Help," and then all

A ROMANTIC HISTORY.

For several weeks the gossips of Almondbury (and oc-
casionally in Huddersfield), have had food for chat fur-
nished them by the appearance is the village of a tall and
moderately good-looking mulatto woman, who, when in
public, generally appeared in silk dress, silk shawl, and
with a feather in her bonnet. The rumour was, that she
had come from Australia, with an infinity of bags of
gold-dust, and was going to be married to a return
convict. The facts are as follow:—About 10 years ago,
at York Assizes, an Almondbury man, named Joseph
Lodge, who was convicted of breaking into the house of
S. Stringer, Castle-hill, and stealing 801., was sentenced
to 20 years' transportation. He was sent, along with
others, to work out the sentence at Bermuda. Shortly
after his arrival be wag appointed servant to a doctor, and
thus became acquainted with a mulatto named Jane
Romeo, who kept a store, her husband being employed
under Government as inspector of the convict sail-makers
A correspondence was begun between Mrs. Romeo and
the parents of the convict Lodge, who reside in Almond-
bury, near Huddersfield, keeping a beer-house. On one
occasion she sent his mother 101. Duringthis time Lodge
had conducted himself in such a manner as to make it
likely he would receive a ticket•of-leave, and be was sent
over to England to obtain one. However, before he was
liberated, the Mrs. Romeo appeared in Almondbury, and
took up her abode at the beer-bouse kept by his parents.
Patiently sie waited, but nothing was heard of the
absent Joseph. She passed as a widow, and it was said
only waited fur Lodge's appearance to be united to him
in wedlock. She bad left her husband and three chil-
dren, taking with her 8001. The husband bad, in conse-
quence of information he had received, written to a per-
son in London, who came to Huddersfield with a detec-
tive policeman, on Wednesday, and accompanied by Su-
perintendent Heaton and Beaumont, went to Bradford,
where the love-stricken mulatto had been since the pre-
vious Friday on a visit to a brother of Lodge's. She re•
turned to Huddersfield, stayed all night at the county
lock-up, and requested Mr. Heaton to get her luggage
from Almondbury, as she would go back to her friends
aid children, but not to her husband, who bad used her
cruelly. The trunks were obtained, and in one of them the
sum of 500/. in gold was found placed, part in an old stock-
ing, part in a bag, and stitched up in some cloth. The
money was transmitted to a friend, named by her, at Ber-
muda, and she left Huddersfield on Thursday tor Liver-
pool, from whence she sails to Halifax (gova Scotia)
this (Saturday) morning, intending 'to go from there to
Bermuda. Lodge hat not appeared on the scene, and
when he does will find his "dream of bliss vanished into
thin air.‘".—heeds Moron.

HE GREAT COMET OF 1556. _ _

The weather has been unusually hot for the past
Sig or eight days, and we are told this is the conse-
quence of the near approach of the great comet of
1556, whose re-appearance is due in this month of
August. A correspondent of the Limerick Observer
saw it with his own eyes on Wednesday night last ;
and, what is more, several other astronomically-
disposed friends of his are ready to confirm his
statement. Here it is :
" Oa Wednesday night last he was standing near the
salmon weir, on the platform before the mills of Cot,
bally, about half-past 10 o'clock, when his attention was
attracted by what appeared to be a fire rising on the top
of Keeper Mountain, due east of his position. He re-
marked
the object to a gentleman who was with him ;
but, as the fire rose and cleared the top of the mountain,
his friend suggested that it must be a lantern appended
to a kite. It had then the appearance of a globe of
ire as large as a goodo-ized orange, with a broad tail of
light extending about 18 inches from the body. The two
gentlemen watched it for an hour, and the watchman on
the weir observed it also. On Thursday night they all
saw it again. It rose a few moments later, presenting
the same appearances, and was high in the heAvens at
half-past 11, wLen they went home. At that hour one
of the gentlemen pointed it out to his sister. Friday
night, from the same place, the same parties again saw
it rise about 20 minutes before 11, and then it first oc
curred to our informant that it might be a comet. He
ceased to watch it about midnight, but the watchman
observed it up to half-past lon Saturday morning. It
did not seem so large as on the previous nights, but
still far exceeded the most brilliant form in which the
planet Jupiter has ever been beheld. As the greatest
comet on rec)rd is really due about this time, and as
the extreme sultriness of the weather would seem to
warrant the belief that such a celestial visitor is near at
hand, we shall be glad to hear if any other persons have
observed the appeirance which has thrice risen upon our
astonished friends."
