MAGDEBURG.
Von Bonin, Ober-President. (M.)
Dihm. (M.)
The praise of patient and laborious discharge of
their duty to the raterland cannot be denied to
the Berlin electors on this occasion. For 12 days
have they (the Wahlmanner) been assembling every
evening, in tobacco-pailiament, to go through the
tedious ballots, by which they have painfully
worked their way to the result. Nor as in Fre-
derick William's Tabaks Collegiunt, did tobacco-
*smoke serve as the substitute for Parliamentary
palaver—the Wahlmanner had to endure no small
share of the latter, too, with the constant risk of
being half-an-hour late for supper besides. On the
actual voting day the business was mostly over by:
dinner time, except in district No. 1. Through four
wearisome scrutinies did the tough electors battle
it out—from sunrise almost to sanset ; a grateful
country should never forget, that though it was
half-past four before the last ballot was closed, not
more than six or eight had given way and quitted
the field, lielding to the imperative necessity of
dinner.
Thct Berlin has elected the nine most distin-
guished, or most able men, out of the 50 or 60 can-
didates with which they commenced their delibe-
rations, cannot be affirmed, But they have chosen
nine men every one of whom is very well fitted for
the purpose, and for the present juncture. What
was -required was independence of character, with-
out extreme political tenets. They have endea-
voured. to get men who would support, without
being subservient to, the present Ministry ; men
who had political knowledge without theories of
politics. And what the electors sought it must be.
admitted that they have found. Their 12 nights'
deliberation was not thrown away.. All the nine,'
however different in social position, in education, in"
talent, have, most conspicuously, a common brand
or political type, and it is one which we may ex-
pect to see numerously representedin the Chamber.
Above all, the electors of Berlin have chosen,--they
have selected, not taken at haphazard. Nothing
has been left to the surprises and eseamotage of an
election fray—nOthing to the pettifogging intri-
gues of electioneering agents. n their own slow
and deliberate method, the Berliners have smoked
their way to the result they meant. They may
cettoinly be congratulated on it.

MR. GLADSTONE'S MISSION.

ATHENS, Nov. 18.—The news of Mr. Gladstone's
mission to the lonian Islands had become generally
known, and created much excitement in diploma-
tic circles. The King had sent for the Russian
Ambassador, and a Cabinet Council was held, to
take into consideration the relations of the Greeks
of the lonian Islands with their countrymen of the
Continent, in conjunction with the published de-
spaches of Sir J. Young, suggesting that the Bri-
tish Government should retain only the islands of
Corfu and Paxe. It seems to be understood by the
King and Court that if Engla ad withdraws from
the other islands they will of n ecessity be annexed
to Greece. In order to conciliate the British
Government it was proposed to modify the existing
Ministry, and to take in some Liberals known to
be favourable to England and constitutional rule in
Greece. The names mentioned for the new Cabinet
are M. Dosios, Christides, &c. The Russian Ain-
bassador is said to favour this move on the part of
the Court, as in point of fact, the islands from
which we should retire would, ktnnexed to Greece,
fell under Russian influence. Now let me give you
the state of public opinion in Greece on this ques-
tion as explained in the letter 'before me. The
patriotic Greeks—all, in fact, beyond the atmo-
sphere of the Court—say, "We do not wish
to see Greece incorporate the lonian Islands
until we are free at home—until we see the
Sovereign adopt an independent national and
constitutional policy at home and abroad. Why,
say the people, should we desire to see the lonians
under the rule of a Sovereign and Court who are
anything but Greek ?" In fact, let us look at the
condition of the lonian Islands ass, compared with
Continental Greece. Throughout the whole group
under British rule roads have been Made and other
public works executed which have increased the
value of land and made the people comparatively
prosperous. Land in Continental Greece is worth
£4 per acre, whilst at Corfu it fetches £2O ! In the
lonian Islands we have no brigands, and life and
property are secure. In - the lonian Islands
agriculture is much more advanced than in Greece,
and the merchants are richer. Now, let us look at
Continental Greece. Five miles out of Athens
there are no public roads, and a traveller with
money about him dare not sleep three miles out of
Athens. This has been proved at Pentelique,
Kefissia, &c. In Continental Greece there is no
security for life or property. As regards constitu-
tional government, it only exists in name, the
Queen and Court having entirely usurped the
power of the Chambers, and even persecuted those
who sought to maintain rights which King Otho
was placed on the throne to defend. Agriculture
is abandoned, and if any prosperity exists, it
originates in external commerce, which the Govern-
ment cannot destroy. All this is known to Greeks
of the Islands as well as Greeks of the Continent,
and the former would lose materially and politically
if English rule were withdrawn.—lllerning Post.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 22d contains a Royal
decree by which branches of, the Bank of Spain at
Alicante and Valencia are authorised, and a series
of regulations are established for them. M. Creus,
treasurer of the order of San Juan, had been
appointed Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul-
General in the Republic Monte Video, a post
which he had previously held. The Peninsular
Correspondence contains ) the following :—" If
the Opposition journals. were to be believed,
the garrison of Madrid is, being very rapidly aug-
mented. Such is not tll6` fact. The arrival of
new troops is merely in consequence of the usual
changes in the garrison, which take place before
the winter sets in.. In the course of a few days,
when the regianents.which hate been relieved shall
have set out for other points of the peninsula,
there will not be a soldier more than usual."

The weather had been very bad ; rain had fallen
in torrents,; and rendered,outdoor operations almost
impossible. It was said that the funds necessary
for the payment of the half-year's dividends had
arrived in Madrid. It was reported that General
Jose de la Concha had at last resigned the captaincy-
general of Cuba, and was,to be succeeded by Gen.
Ros de Olano. The semi-official Correspondancia
Autografa publishes a .telegraphic despatch an-
nouncing that the squadron destined to cruise cif
the coasts of Morocco sailed from Cadiz on the 21st.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives, in its
sitting of yesterday, adopted unanimously by 65
Totes the ensemble of the Imprisonment for Debt
Bill, the final vote on which had been postponed.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE LIFEBOATS.

Some time since the Government of the Cape of
Good Hope ordered two lifeboats to be built in
this country, on the plan of those now adopted and
successfully used by the Royal National. Lifeboat
Institution. Accordingly instructions were given
to the Messrs. Forrests, of Limehouse, to proceed
with r large lifeboat 38 feet long, and one 32 feet
in length, the drawings for which have been ex-
pressly furnished by Mr. Peake, their designer.
Yesterday a trial of these boats took place in 'the
Regent's-canal dock, in the presence of many ex-
perienced persons and others connected with the
Lifeboat Institution. The 38 feet boat was turned
over by means of some tackling attached to a
hydraulic crane. After having with some diffi-
culty been turned keel up, she at once recovered
her proper position, and freed herself of the
water she thus shipped in less than 30 seconds.
So great was the stability of the boat that it
required the weight of 33 men on one gunwale to
bring it to the water's edge, sholting that it would
be almost impossible for her to be capsized in a
heavy surf; but in the event of such a casualty the
boat would immediately right herself again. With
40 men on board no water could remain in the boat,
the same being self-ejected. The smaller lifeboat
was subjected to a similar trial, and with the like
gratifying result. On the whole nothing could
have been more satisfactory than the trials of these
lifeboats, and we have no doubt that the inhabi-
tants of Table Bay and Port Elizabeth, where they
are to be permanently stationed, under the com- ,
mand of Lieut. Jamieson, R.N., and another officer
will learn, as the people on our own coasts have
learned with,lifeboats of a similar character, to
appreciate their valuable • characteristics. - This
class of lifeboat possesses in the highest degree
the qualities which it is most desirable a lifeboat
should possess, viz., great lateral stability, speed
against a heavy sea, facility for. launching and for
taking the shore, immediate self-discharge of any
water breaking into her, the important advantage
of self-righting if upset, freight and stowage room
for a number of passengers. In the great efforts
which the National Lifeboat Institution is now
making to provide exposed points with lifeboats,
and there are still sixty such points unprovided on
our coasts with lifeboats, according to reliable re-
turns from officers of the Coast Guard and others,
let us express an earnest hope that these efforts will
be cordially seconded by the pecuniary support of
the public. During the late disastrous gales on our
coasts the Institution's lifeboats saved many a ship-
wrecked crew from a watery grave, and who can
tell how many more of these unfortunate creatures
who perished on those calamitous occasions might
now have been alive and preserved to their familie s
and country if lifeboats had been in sufficient num-
bers on the coast ?

THE INDIAN EMPIRE.—LIVERPOOL, Friday,—
was stated in the Times on the 19th inst. that the steamship
Indian Empire of the Galway line, sailed from New York
on the 23d ult. (after being foul of a brig), reached Halifax
on the 28th, and departed for her destination on the 31s1.
Halifax papers confirm this statement, and mention that
she had three passengers for that port and 80 for Galway.
From the Halifax shipping report of the 4th inst., received
at the Underwriters Association here, we learn that the
Indian Empire positively sailed on the 31st. She is there-
fore now out 26 days. Although the Pacific, of the same
lines is reported to have left Newfoundland on the 14th, no,
advices later than the 12th have come to hand here from St.
John's ; but,- considering the telegraphic facilities on the
American coast, there cannot be any reasonable doubt that
had the Indian Empire been at either that port or Halifax
she would have been reported before this. The statement
of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company,
published in the Times of to-day, is therefore only calcu-
lated to mislead, more especially as they leavens in igno-
rance as to what their latest dates frpsnllalifax are. It is
to be hoped that the America, dnetere- on Sunday next

factory tidings of the missing otherwise it will be
impossible to avoid entertaipiucthe most serious apprehen-
&ions respectin Xi her fate,—mee.

absence of supplies on the spot, several sales have been
effected on parcels to arrive, the exact particulars of which
have not transpired ; prices have certainly advanced fully

THE INDIAN EMPIRE.—LIVERPOOL, Friday.—
was stated in the Timesofithe 19th inst. that the steamship
Indian Empire of the Galway line, sailed from New York
on the 23d ult. (after being foul of a brig), relished Halifax
on the 28th, and departed for her destination. on the 3151..
Halifax papers confirm this statement, and mention that
she had three passengers for that port and 80 for Galway.
From the Halifax shipping report of the 4th inst., received
at the Underwriters' Association here, we learn that the
Indian Empire positively sailed on the 31st. She is there-
fore now out 26 days. Although the Pacific, of the same
line, is reported to have left Newfoundland on the 14th, no
advices later than the 12th havecomo to hand here from St.
John's ; but, considering the telegraphic facilities on the
American coast, there cannot be any reasonable doubt that
had the Indian Empire been at either that port or Halifax
she would have been reported before this. The statement
of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company,.
published in the Times of to-day, is therefore only calm-
' lated to mislead, more especially as they leave us in ig-n(?;
ranee as to what their latest dates from Halifax are. It it.
to be hoped that the, America, due here on Sunday nest
with the Halifax mails' of the 19th, will bring wilit wesiill be
tidings of the missing vessel, otherwise i
impossible to avoid entertaining the most serious apprehen-
sions respecting her fate.-=Tunes.

SPAIN.

The )lfadrid Ga:ette of the 22d contains a Royal
decree by which branches of the Bank of Spain at
Alicante and Valencia are authorised, and a series
of regulations are established for them. M. Creus,
treasurer of the order of San Juan, had been
appointed Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul-
General in the Republic of Monte Video, a post
which he had previously held. The Peninsular
Correspondence contains - the following :—" If
the Opposition journals were to be believed,
the garrison of Madrid is being very rapidly aug-
mented. Such is not .the fact. The arrival of
new troops is merely•in consequence of the usual
changes in the garrison, which take place before
the winter sets in. In the course of a few days,
when the regiments which have been relieved shall
have set out for other points of the peninsula,
there will not be a soldier more than usual."

The weather had been very bad ; rain had fallen
in torrents, and rendered outdoor operatiOns almost
impossible. It was said that the funds necessary
for the payment of the half-year's dividends had
arrived in Madrid. It was reported that General
Jose de la Concha had at last resigned the captaincy-
general of Cuba, and *was to be succeeded by Gen.
Ros de Olano. The semi-official Correspondancia
Autografa publishes a telegraphic - despatch an-
nouncing that the squadron destined to cruise cff
the coasts of Morocuisailed from Cadiz on the 21st.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives, in its
sitting of yesterday, adopted unanimously by 65
votes the ensemble ,of the Imprisonment for Debt
Bill, the final vote on which lifid been postponed.

to Veronetz, but I was taken ill ant I was not able
to walk about. I remained sick in that country
for two years. After a time 11 prisoners, who had
been taken at the Redan, came up and told me
they were going home. I insisted on the doctor
sending me to St Petersburg with them. I was
then sent as a prisoner of war to St. Petersburg,
and remained there four days while lord Wode-
house .procured something in which_ to send us
home. We were then passed down t o Hamburg,
and I afterwards came over to Englanid, having a
few shillings given me by some English ladies and
gentlemen in St. Petersburg. After I had seen
my father and mother, I intended to jodn my regi-

Court will take into consideration that have been

The PRESIDENT then read the attested copy of
a despatch from Lord Wodehouse to the Earl of
Clarendon, dated the 7th of March, 1857, in which
the names of several soldiers, prisoners in Russia,
were given, and among them the.name of Thomas
Tole, who was stated to have been wounded in the
arm.

GERMANY,

A letter from Frankfort of the 23d says :—" It
results from an application lately made for informa-
tion :by the committee formed here to examine the
complaints of German creditors of the United
States, that a certain number of these States owe
them more than ten millions of francs, furnished
for the execution of public works, such as canals,
roads, railways, &c. Nothing remains to these
German creditors but the share-papers as a gua-
rantee of the debt ; and they have not received for
several years a single dollar of interest for the sums
which they advanced in good specie to American
companies now become insolveot, though it is yet
hoped only for a time. The committee proposes to
send special agents to the United States to pursue
by all means the recovery of the important sums
duo to Germany." -

SLR. GLADSTONE'S M4I;S`SIOAr-:

ATHENS, Nov. 18.—The news of NI-. Gla( Istone's
mission to the lonian Islands had be .trine gen :erally
known, and created much excitemen t in dir
tic circles. The King had sent fbi • the R; ussmn
Ambassador, and a Cabinet Council was b qd, to
take into consideration the relations o.f the Greeks
of the lonian Islands with their countrymen of the
Continent, in conjunction with the publish cd de-
spaches of Sir J. 'Youngs Suggesting that ti te Bri-
tish Government should retain only the isl .nds of
Corfu -and: Parie.4' It seeds to be under: stood by the
King-and ComtAhat if 2ngland withdraws from
the other islands they 15411 of necessity he an nexed
to Greece. In order to conciliate the I tritish
Government it was proposed to modify the ex (sting
Ministry, and to take in some Liberals know) a to
be favourable to England and constitutional nit le in
Greece. The names mentioned for the new Cab inet
are M. Dosios, Christides, &c. The Russian 4 km-
bassador is said to favour this move on the par t of
the Court, as in point of fact the islands t nom
which we should retire would, annexed. to Gree
fall under Russian influence. Now let me give' Tou
the state of public opinion in Greece on this gi les-
tion as explained in the letter before me. rhe
patriotic Greeks all, in fact, beyond- the ati no-
sphere of the Court—=say, "We do not w ish.
to see Greece incorporate the lonian Islai ids
until we are free at home—until we see ; the
Sovereign adopt an independent national e
constitutional policy at home and abroad. W hy,
say the people, should we desire to see the lon.;.ang
under the rule of a Sovereign and Court wilt-, area
anything but Greek ?" In fact, let us look 0.'6 the
condition of the lonian Islands as corripareei with
Continental Greece. Throughout the whole, group
under British rule roads have been made a wad other
public works executed which have incroased the
value of land and made the people comi)aratively
prosperous. Land in Continental Greece is worth
S 4 per acre, whilst at Corfu it fetches £f2o ! In the
lonian Islands we have no brigands, and life • and
property are secure. In the lonian Islands
agriculture is much more advanced than.' iu Greece ,
and the merchants are richer. Now, let; us look rat
Continental Greece. • Tire 'miles out of Athe as
there are no public roads, and a tra yeller w-. (th
money about him jiare not deep three mines out of
Athens. This has been prove.at Penteligiie,
Kefissia, &c. In Continental Greece there is :no
security for life or property. As regards constitu-
tional government, it only exists in ni ime, the
Queen and Court having entirely usurpod the
power of the Chambers, and even persecuted those
who sought to maintain rights which King Otho
was placed on the throne to defend. Agrieralture
is abandoned, and if ' any prosperity exists., it
originates in external commerce, which the Clove rn-
meat cannot destroy. All this is known todtGreeks
of the Islands as well as Greeks of the Continent,
and the former would lose materially mud pol itically
if English rule were withdrawn.-11forning Post.

The praise of patient and laborious discharge of
their duty to the Vaterland cannot be denied to
the Berlin electors on this occasion. For 12 days
have they (the Wahlmanner) been assembling every
evening, in tobacco-parliament, to go through the
tedious ballots, by which they have painfully
worked their way to the result. Nor as in Fre-
derick William's Tabaks Collegium, did tobacco-
smoke serve as the substitute for Parliamentary
palaver—the Wahlmanner had to endure no small
share of the latter, too, with the constant risk of
being half-an-hour late for supper besides. On the
actual voting day the business was mostly over by_
dinner time, except in district No. E Through four
wearisome scrutinies did the • tough electors battle
it out—from sunrise almost to sunset ; a grateful
country should never forget, that though it was
half-past four before the last ballot was closed, not
more than six or eight had given way and quitted
the field, yielding to the imperative necessity of
dinner.

That Berlin has selected the nine most distin-
guished, or most able men, out of the 0 or 60 can-
didate' with which they commenced their delibe-
rations, cannot be affirmed, nut they have chosen
nine men every one of whom is very well fitted for
the purpose, and for the present juncture. What
was required was independence of character, with-
out extreme political tenets. They have endea-
voured to get men who would support, without
being subservient to, the present Ministry; men
who had political knowledge without theories of
politics. And what the electors sought it must be
admitted that they have found. Their 12 nights'
deliberation was not thrown away. All the nine,
however different in social position, in education, in
talent, have, most conspicuously, a common brand
or political type, and it is one which we may ex-
pect to see numerously representedin the Chamber.
Above all, the electors of Berlin have chosen,—they
have selected, not taken at haphaiard. Nothing
has been left to the surprises and escamotage of an
election fray—nothing to the pettifogging intri-
gues of electioneering agents. In their own slow
and deliberate method, the Berliners have smoked
their way to the result they meant. They may
certAinly`be congratulated on it.

COURT OF ERROR. '
OLBHAM V. BROWN.
The further hearing of this part-heard cause was resumed
this morning.
The argumeuts will'net be concluded to-day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Campbell, and a
Special Jury.)'
'AtAnsnitiL V. CROCKFORD.

Mr. Edwin James, Q.et, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. J. A
Russell appeared for the Plaintiff ; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,
Mr. Karslake, and Mr.',Macnamara for the defendant.
The ease, which occupied the whole of yesterday, was
resumed this morning.

The plaintiff, Henry Alarshall, was formerly the editor of
a sporting newspaper called the Field, of which the defen-
dant, John Crockford; was in part proprietor ; but,
having resigned his office of editor of the defendant's
newspaper in November, 1857, he joined with some
other parties in starting . a rival newspaper called the
Review; the Country Gentleman's Journal,'of which he be-
mme the editor. He brought tho present action against
his former employer to recover damages for szveral, libels
which.the latter had published respecting him, imputing to
him dishonesty in certain transactions respecting dogs and
guns, while ho was editor of the Field, so as to compromise
the interests of that journal. The defendant pleaded the
general issue and also a justification, alleging that the said
libels were true ; and he relied also on the publications
being privileged and bona fide • _ __ _

At the conclusion of the evidence, his Lordship summed
up, and
The Jury after some deliberation, returned a verdict for
the plaintiff.—Damages, Is.

KILLARNEY JUNCTION.

The half-yearly report of this company- has just
.been issued, from which it appears the total traffic
receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of Oct.
amount to £11,301 18s being an increase of .£52
17s. on the corresponding half-year of 1857. Ac-
cording to the statement of accounts annexed to the
repor• Acre is an available surplus of £6,217135. 2d.,
'out of which the directors recommend that a divi-
dend for the past half-year, at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum, amounting to £3,964 10s. 2d., be
p iid to the proprietors, which leaves a balance of
£2,253 3s. to be carried forward to the credit of

THE EAST.

A letter from Constantinople of the 17th, in the
Gaiette du Midi, says :—The works of the Kus-
. tendje Railway are being carried on with the
greatest activity, and even .the winter weather,
which has begun to set in with remarkable severity,
is not allowed to stop them. Surveys are being
effected.for the construction of other lines to branch
off from the
.above, and the Porte has, it is said,
granted a concession for one in the province of
Broussa Several engineers or .reprp.sentatives of
companies are also making applications to the
Porte for the construction of lines of telegraph in
Europe and Asia, both in the interior and on the
coast. This sudden increase in industrial
activity has sprung up since the present lull
in political matters commenced, and it is to be
hoped that the plans may turn out advantageously
for the country and for those who undertake their
execution. Thanks to the Municipal Council, the
utility of which institution is every day more and
more apparent, Constantinople is becoming com-
pletly metamorphosed. Works for levelling and
paving the streets, which have been hitherto almost
impassable, particularly after dark, are going on
with great activity. Gas is being laid down in
many directions, and the houses are being numbered.
The names of the streets are also being put up, both
in Turkish and European characters, on pieces of
board painted green. - In many parts the new law
of appropriation- for—purposes of public utility
has been brought into operation by the Muni-
cipal Council, and several old houses have
been ordered to be immediately demolished to give
air and 'render the neighbourhood more healthy.
The inhabitants and owners of those unhealthy
plates loudly protest against the measure, but all
their rerhonstrances are not likely to check the
operations of the new council, the members of
which appear determined to perform their duties
with firmness and energy. I have mentioned
above that the winter has begun to set in with
great severity. During the whole of the present
month violent storms of wind and snow have pre-
vailed in the Black Sea, and many casualties have
occurred. At Bourgas, on the Black Sea, it has
snowed almost every day since the beginning of
the month, and the thermometer has been below
freezing point. At Gallipoli there have also been
several heavy snow-storms. In the interior, and
particularly in Bulgaria, the weather has been very
severe. Accounts to the 19th ult. have been re-
