PRUSSIA.

The Superior President of the province of Bran-
denburg has caused the following to be published
in the journals of Berlin :

" The Queen of Great Britain before her depar-
ture conferred on me the high mission of making
known to the public how much her Majesty and
the Prince Consort have been gratified by the
friendly and affectionate sentiments of the inhabi-
tants of the country, and particularly of the royal
residences and the neighbouring localities ;—senti-
ments of which they received so many testimonies
during their journey, and especially during their
stay at Babelsberg. H.M. and H.R.H. particularly
desire that it shall be stated that the cordial atten-
tion of the population of the capital, on the occa-
sion of the birthday of the Prince Consort, caused
them great pleasure, and has inspired them with
sincere gratitude. The Queen and Prince will ever
retain the most agreeable remembrance of their
journey."

A SUBTERRANEAN DISTILLERY.—The officers of
the inland revenue in the Blackburn district, Lancashire,
having for some time had their suspicions directed to s
farmhouse belonging to and occupied by James Morris, at
Park-low, near Haslingden, they last week discovered a
complete distillery beneath the farmhouse, and from which,
there was internal communication. This was accomplished
after two days' search. A leaden pipe, fixed to the wall,
was traced to the turf-room, where it disappeared under
the flags of the floor. On the flags being removed, an open'
ing two feet broad and eight feet deep was found, at the
bottom of which an officer who descended discovered a cells;
about six feet square. In this place there were a truck and
a quantity of empty tubs; &c. Another passage was then
found, which led to another cellar, about six feet by eight
feet. Here were found worm, still, and all necessary apps'
ratus for the manufacture of illicit spirits, together with
several jars and jugs of spirits. The chief part of the appa-
ratus was made of tin, and was of such large dimensions
that it had to be • broken in pieces before it could be
removed. It is believed it must have been made in the
place where it was found. Immediately the officers
entered his premises Morris drove eight head of cattle from
the farm, and it is not known what he has done with them.
While the officers were investigating the premises Morris
told them that their labour would be all in vain? and
;
asserted his innocence of the charge of being an laic"
whisky spinner. On Saturday he was taken before the
Blackburn magistrates and convicted in the penalty of X. 30
and costs ; in default he was sent to gaol for three months.
He was considered to be a very religious man, and was fro'
quently seen reading his Bible.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills—lndigestion and
disordered liver. Mr. Bostock; druggist, of Ashton-under-
Lyne, states that a' person with whom he is well acquainted
has received the 'benefit of a most 'astonishing cure by the
use of Holloway's pills. For months he was afflicted with
severe pains in the stomach, chest, and liver, which entirely
prevented him from following his business. He availed
himself of all the medical skill in the neighbourhood, with-
out deriving any benefit. He then determined on givinK
Holloway's pills a trial, and this medicine had the effect 01
affording immediate relief, and finally restoring him to per-
fect health. This statement is published in the hope that
others similarly afflicted may secure the means of obtaining
the same relief.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1858

' neighbourhood of Rotas, and the road, being completely
closed
_by him, I sent out a party of eight picked men from
my regiment, with orders to bring in orkill Sungram Sing.
This party succeeded most signally ; they disguised them-
selves as mutinous sepoys, brought in Sungram Sing last
night and killed his brother (who is the man who committed
the late murders by Sungram Sing's orders), his sons,
nephew, and grandsons, amounting in all to nine persons,
bringing in their heads. At this capture all the people of
the south are much rejoiced. The hills for the present are
clear of rebels. I shall try Sungram Sing to-morrow.
It is at least doubtful whether an amnesty be the
right weapon with which to attack the dacoits of
our jungles.

GREENWICH AND THE MAIN DRAINAGE SCHEME.
—A meeting of the Greenwich District Board of Works
was held last evening at the board-room adjoining the Mitre

placing of the outfalland the con-
struction of deodonsing works in the Greenwich marshes.
The chair was occupied by Mr. Alderman 'Wire, and there
was a large number of members present from the parishes
of St. Paul and St. Nicholas, Deptford, including the ham-
let of Hatcham. Capt. Routh, in a brief address, moved
.
the following resolution :—" That any -kroposition for an
outfall at Greenwich, and for deodorising or defecating
the sewage of the southern side of the metropolis in or near
the Greenwich marshes, is highly objectionable, and fraught
with daner to the health of the inhabitants of this popu-
lous district ; and this board therefore proteSts against any
such plan or project, the effect of which would be so inju-
rious to persons and property in this district, being carried
into effect." The motion was seconded by Mr. Reeve, and
carried unanimously

MEETING OF LANDED PROPRIETORS.

It appears that a preliminary meeting of landed
proprietors was held in Dublin on Saturday last, to
make arrangements for a general meeting of the
landed gentry of Ireland of all parties, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the defects of the
law for the protection of life and property, and the
amendments which should be sought for in the next
session of Parliament. The meeting will be held
in Dublin about the middle of January next.

BEYROUTH.

A letter from Beyrouth of the 25th ult. says :
The chief of the Ainsariis, in the Libanus, who
lately revolted, was killed in a combat which took
place on the 20th between his followers and the
troops of Tahir Pacha. His death puts an end to
the disturbances in his district ; but the general
situation of the Libanus remains deplorable, there
being disorders everywhere, and not only the in-
habitants of the same village but members of the
same family being in hostility with each other. In
the Koura, for example, a father the other day
shot his son dead for having joined in a rising
against the Camaican. In the plains of the
Bocah, near Damascus, a terrible affair has taken
place. Two nomad Arab tribes, the lahalans and
the Hennezis, being in hostility, the former on the
19th ult., assisted by some allies, attacked the
latter. The Hennezis, with their wives and chil-
dren, abandoned their tents, and the lahalans
penetrated amongst them. The Hennezis then
dividing themselves into three sections attacked
their foes with indescribable fury, and defeated
them, with, it is alleged, a loss of 3,000. But the
number stated is probably greatly exaggerated."

PICCOLOMINI IN TROUBLE.

A dastardly attack has been made on Piccolomini
by a French paper in New York. The nature of t"
attack may be inferred from the following state.
ment made by the manager of the opera :
I seize the present opportunity to state that fa
over a year past I have been daily attacked in that
paper in the most malicious manner- As the Courriet
des Etats Unis is too insignificant to do either gee!
or harm, I never would have noticed them ; but
these attacks are not confined to me—all my artists
are assailed in the same public way, and the chival-
rous editors have particularly singled out Millie.
Piccolomini, whom they not only insult in the
grossest manner, but annoy her by sending the
paper (in office wrappers) to her apartments.
I have not the slighest doubt that this infamous
conduct towards a young and amiable girl will be
condemned by the public, and it is only just that
this fact should be made known by me.
The paper has been controlled by three hungry
Frenchmen, and in their hands it has lost all its
influence. These three hungry Frenchmen arc'

that he has to pay him 25 dols. a week, and that be

them. Trobriand, because I will not permit rail

greatly in want of opera tickets, for purposes t°

One of the articles which produced this savage
retort was as follows :—" The father of the Pre:

you or me, and he bore the modest name of
mentini until the notion seized him to throw- toss
in the eyes of the public. On that occasion it Boa
discovered that Madame Clementini, his wife, 141:

of the Piccolomini family, and it was readily seta
what advantage might be taken of this providential
connexion. I ought to add that this discovery, tipa
the mode of using it, was less the work of the
artist herself," &c., &c. This was proved to be
gross falsehood, and Signor Piccolomini, the artist's
father, now with her in New York, has taken pre'
ceedings against the calumniator ; but as the editor
and the manager have made up matters, the action
will, no doubt, drop.

VENICE.

A letter from Venice, in the Corriere Mercantile
of Genoa, relates the following :—" On the night
of the 3d a violent explosion was heard here in the
quarter of Santa Croce. The commissary of police
immediately proceeded to the house where it had
taken place, and finding that the master was in the
country, caused the door to be forced open, when
the fragments of a large bomb-shell were found
strewed about, but no indication of who had fired
the projectile. The master of the house returning
in the morning, he was arrested, but nothing was
elicited to inculpate him. At length it turned out
that the shell was one of those thrown into the
town in 1849, and that the culprit was a poor car-
penter who, having already made some money by
selling fragments of shells picked up during the
siege, had fired this shell with a long pole, in order
to make it burst, and sell the pieces. He has been
arrested on a charge of having endangered the
safety of the quarter, where there are large ware-
houses of spirits, and other inflammable matter."

PICCOL OMINI IN TROUBLE.

A dastardly attack has been made on Piccolomini
by a French paper in New York. The nature of th•
attack may be inferred from the following state-
ment made by the manager of the opera :
I seize the present opportunity to state that for
over a year past I have been daily attacked in that
paper in the most malicious manner. As the Courrier
des Etats Unis is too insignificant to do either good.
or harm, I never would have noticed them; but
these attacks are not confined to me—all my artists
are assailed in the same public way, and the chival-
rous editors have particularly singled out Mdlle.
Piccolomini, whom they not only insult in the
grossest manner, but annoy her by sending the
paper (in office wrappers) to her apartments.
I have not the slighest doubt that this infamous
conduct towards a young and amiable girl will be
condemned by the public, and it is only just that
this fact should be made known by me.
The paper has been controlled by three hungry
Frenchmen, and in their hands it has lost all its
influence. These three hungry Frenchmen are—
Trobriand, formerly a resident of Tours, in France;
the other is Masseras, half a Frenchman 4nd half
a Spaniard; the third, and, thank God, last, is
Lassale, the proprietor, who tells everybody with
tears in his eyes, that Masseras, his paid editor,
rules him with an iron hand; that he is bound
by contract to let Trobriand write what he pleases ;
that he has to pay him 25 dols. a week, and that he
cannot get rid of him before next May.
I have had the misfortune to displease all of
them. Trobriand, because I will not permit my
artists to sing at his sugar-and-water soirees, and.
to be black-mailed to the tune of a couple of airs
and a duet per week ; Lassale, because I do not ad-
vertise as largely in his paper as in the Herald,
Times, Tribune Express, Post, &c. ; Masseras, be-
cause I used to address the free admissions to the
editors, and not to him alone—he personally being
greatly in want of opera tickets, for purposes to
me unknown.

One of the articles which produced this savage
retort was as follows :—" The father of the pre-
tended princess singer is only a simple citizen, like
you or me, and he bore the modest name of Cle-
mentini until the notion seized him to throw dust
in the eyes of the public. On that occasion it was
discovered that Madame Clementini, his wife, was
descended, more or less remotely, from some branch
of the Piccolomini family, and it was readily seen
what advantage might be taken of this providential

An official return shows that the number of vessels
which protect the Isle of Cuba is 26, and that they
carry 381 guns. The Senate had held no new sit-
ting, and the Congress was occupied with election
matters. In the former, General Prim, it is
stated, intends, in the debate on the address, to
propose a motion blaming the projected war with
Mexico. A circular of the Minister of the Interior
to governors of provinces directs that henceforth
public-houses, hotels, and similar establishments
shall not be opened without authorisation, and shall
have need of an annual licence ; also that the
keepers of them shall register the names and occu-
pations of all persons who lodge in them, and shall
be subject to police regulations.

The King of Sardinia has issued a decree, order-

In the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, on

a fortnight in order to give time for the representa-
tives to apply to their respective Governments for
fresh instructions.

Warrington) had also known the prisoner inti-
mately, and gave similar testimony, observing that
if he (witness) had a situation vacant in his office he
should have no objection,.notwithstanding the
charge against him, to engage the prisoner.
Mr. J. G. M'Minnies, cotton manufacturer, of
Warrington and Farrington, said the prisoner was
in his service from 1843 to 1850, and during that
time his conduct was everything that could be de-
sired. Notwithstanding Forrest's present position
he (witness) should have the greatest confidence in
him, and would take him again into his former
situation.

Mr. John Harrison, of Warrington, also testified
to the excellent character of the prisoner during the
time he had known him, and that he was one of
Forrest's bondsmen. The proceeds from the sale of
the prisoner's furniture was handed over to the
prosecutor.
Sen tence'deferred.

MANSLAUGHTER OF A WIFE AT MANCHESTER.
Thomas Clarke, an elderly man, was indicted for
having on the 16th November last feloniously killed
his wife, Violet Clarke, at Manchester. The pri-
soner and the deceased had lived unhappily together
for 27 years. On the night in question they had a
quarrel, and the prisoner struck his wife several
times on the head, knocked her down, crushed her
against the wall, and otherwise abused her. He
afteiwards left home. She became seriously ill, but
notwithstanding her illness on the Monday after
the Saturday when the violence took place she was
out drinking at a neighbour's house, and was brought
home about 2 o'clock in the morning, by her son,
ill a state of intoxication. She immediately after-
wards took to her bed, and never left it alive.
Death was caused by a rupture of the bladder,
which, it was contended for the prosecution, had
been occasioned by the injuries inflicted by the vio-
lence of the prisoner.
The case was proceeding when our parcel was
despatched.
A CHARGE OF PERJURY AT WORSLEY, NEAR MAN-

CHESTER.
James Berry was charged with committing wil-
ful and corrupt perjury at Worsley, on the 17th
ult. The prisoner was the father of an illegitimate
child by a single woman of the name of Hum-
phreys. The man paid towards the child for about
six weeks ; but on his ceasing to pay, and also mar-
lying another woman, Humphreys applied for a
summons, and in order to obtain it had to swear
that the prisoner had paid some money within 12
months, as the child was more than a year old.
The woman herself, and another female, swore to
his having paid certain monies within the limited
time, and also stated certain other things, all of
which the prisoner on his oath positively denied.
Several witnesses were called to prove the case of
the prosecution. The defence was based on the
construction which ought to be put on the statute
touching the limitation of time.
The prisoner was found guilty. Sentence deferred.

Mr. Wilde, Q.C. and Mr. Charles Pollock were

This was an action to recover the sum of

father was a distant relative of the late Mr.
James Wood, the celebrated hanker of Glocester,

and years of litigation ensued. At length a Judicial
