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 insolvent, thongh 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."

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, Nov. 22.

the Euryalus left for Cadiz on the 19th inst.
with Prince Alfred on board. The officers of the
Alhambra say that both at Cadiz and Gibraltar ex-
pectation was on tiptoe, and that both Spanish and
British authorities were waiting the Prince's arri-
val, and preparing to give him a right royal recep-
tion. During his short stay at Lisbon he earned
goldey opinions, and the officers of his ship describe
the Prince as being the-most active little mid
aboard—always merry, and always active. He was
a lithe sea-sick the second day out, but even then
went to his steward for a cork " nicely burnt and
oiled" to use his own words, with which he em-
bellished the faces of two of his brother midship-
men whilst asleep in their berths, in which plight
they turned out on deck to the Prince's infinite
amustment. This was a quid pro quo for some of
the numerous tricks played upon himself. He
relate]. the anecdote with gusto at the King of
Portugal's table.
On the 12th inst. there occurred in Lisbon, and
throughout Portugal, the greatest earthquake and
the mast widely and generally felt which has hap-
pened :ince the fearful Ist of November, 1755. It
commeiced at 10 minutes past seven and endured
30 secolds. In:Lisbon few casualties have occurred.
One or ;wo old houses have been thrown down in
the district of the Alfama, an escutcheon fell from
the Wm-office, and ',two or three crazy tenements
were slaken down ; but only two lives were
lost. Ai St. Übes 12 people were killed by the
falling hmses, and reports are arriving describing
the earthquake as having been very violent
throughout the country.
The weather has been awfully hot lately, and
there are great floods up the country.

with the Reasons why they so •oftea appear Incurable, and
thus afford a pretext for the recourse to dangerous operations,
like that of Perinmal Section, or External Incision. With
cases in illustration, amongst which will be found many show-

that its asserted freedom from danger has too often proved to
be a fatal delusion.

,DAY.)

COURT OF ERROR.
SHERIDAN V. THE PHCENIX INSURANCE COMPANY--

JUDGMENT.

The contention in this case was whether the plaintiff's
life policy was an annual or quarterly life policy of insur-
ance.

The Court of Queen's Bench, by their judgment in
favour of defendants, found that the policy was a quarterly
policy, and that, in the circumstances of the case, the
plaintiff was not entitled to recover under it.
The Lord Chief Baron (Pollock) delivered'the judgment
of the Court of Error this morning, reversing the judgment
of the court below, and finding that the policy of insurance
was an annual policy, and that the plaintiff was entitled to
recover under the life policy of insurance.
Judgment for the plaintiff.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Befofe Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
ASSAULT.-ATHERTON V. ATHERTON.

This was an action of damages for assault between two
brothers. The one brother assaulted the other, who was
protecting his mother from his brother's violence ; and the
question raised was, whether the defendant exceeded the
due protection of his mother in assaulting the plaintiff.
Lord Campbell suggested the propriety of referring this
case to arl.itTation, as it was a family case, and a public
investigation might disclose family matters undc,r- painful
circumstances.

Counsel for both parties consented, on conditiOn that the
reference was-immediately proceeded with.
Of consent a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject
to a reference to arbitration.

PICKING POCKETS.—Robert Smith, aged 27, was
charged with picking the pocket of Mr. William
Gilbert, a gentleman residing at 18, Tavistock-street,
Bedford-,quare, of a silk handkerchief.
The prosecutor said, while in St. Martin's-lane, and
near the National Gallery, yesterday afternoon, about
8 o'clock, he thought he felt some one at his coat
pocket, and, on turning, saw the prisoner making
quickly from him. As the prisoner ran he could see
an end of his handkerchief in his hand, and immediately
pursued him, and, after a sharp chase, overtook him,
when he directly accused him of the robbery, and
took the handkerchief from him. The prisoner had
offered is give it up if prosecutor would forgive him,
and not give Lim in charge.
Inspector Burnet received the prisoner from police.
man, C 47, on the above-mentioned charge, and found
on him another silk handkerchief, which ho suspected
he had also not come honestly by. He had askekbitu if
there was a mark on it, and prisoner said there was not,
but on examining the same a mark had been found.
Welsh, the gaoler, said the prisoner bad been con-
victed at this court, but could not say it was fcr felony.
Prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked for mercy. He was
in want.
Mr. Bingham said if he was indeed in distress he
must apply to the workhouse, and must not think to
live by depredation. Three months and hard labour.
John Griffiths, aged 18, and John Bailey, 16, were
likewise charged with attempting to pick the pockets of
ladies in a large crowd of persons collected to see her
Majesty enter the Princesses Theatre yesterday evening.
Detective officer Lambert said he saw the two prisoners
together in the crowd on the left of two ladies,, Griffiths
being nearest to her. He ERW him withdraw his hand
from the skirts of her dress, the other telling him in
strong language to shift his quarters. Witness
followed, as they moved to the thickest part of the
throng, still keeping his eye upon them. The prisoners
took up their place adjacent to several females, and
witness presently saw Bailey taking his hand out of a
lady's pocket, and laid hold of him, and with police
assistance, which was at band, the other was secured at
the same time, and conveyed to the station. The officer
said be knew the prisoner Bailey as a bad character, but
not Griffiths.
Remanded till this day week.

THE LATE ATTEMPT UPON THE LIRE OP
THE EMPEROR OR THE FRENCH.

REFUSAL TO VOTE A CONGRATULATORY

ADDRESS.

At a meeting of the Town Council of Cambridge
yesterday, after congratulatory addresses to her
Majesty and the Prince Consort on flu, marriage
of the Pi incess Royal had been unanimously agreed
to, Mr. Balls proposed the following address to the
Emperor of the French :
" We, the Mayor, alderman, and burgesses of the
borough of CAnsblidg7e, beg to express our horror and
indignation at the late attempt upon the lives of their
Imperial Majesties the Emperor and Empress of the
French, and take the earliest opportunity of tendering
to their Imperial Majesties the sincere congratulations
of thiscorporation on their providential escape from the
atrocious islet laid for their destruction, and earnestly
hope that Providence may still preserve their Imperial
Majesties to rule over a great and prosperous people."
Mr. Beales opposed the prop sition, referring to
the recent speech of Count de Morny, that of M.
do Persigny to the Corpora'ion of London; and to
the addresses of certain French officers to the Em-
peror. Mr. Beaks moved as an amendment :
"That while the council desires to express their deep
abhorrence of the recent attempt upon the lives of the
Emperor and the Empress of the French, they consider
it inexpedient to present an address at the present time."
The opposition to the address to the Emperor
led to considerable discussion. On a division the
voting was equal for and against the proposlion.
The Mayor (Ur. llurrell) gave his sassing vote in
favour of the amendment, and thus the proposal
for an address to- the Emperor of the French was
rejected.

LONDON, FRIDAY, FEB. 5, 1858.

The Parliamentary campaign of 1858 has corn
meneed in good earnest. The actual business a

:the country must now be transacted, and there
remains no valid excuse for further procrastina_
tiow. The first evening was not wasted, for, in
addition to the notices of motion, and incidental
discussions that took
place, Sir GEORGE GREY
introduced the promised measure for Municipal
Reform in the Metropolis, and obtained leave to
bring in a bill. The Corporation have certainly
r.ot aufferad by the determined opposition which
they so long offered to any change. It may be
questioned whether the propesed It
go
far enough, or whether the Some Secretary has
not regarded existing interests with too fa.vour-
ithle au eye. These are matters, however, which
will receive calm and attentive consideration
before the principle of the proposed bill
receives the fiat of the representative branch of
the Legislature.
Lord PaLmmtstox gave notice that on Monday
Ire would " move for leave to bring in a bill for
the purpose of amending the laws in relation to
conspiraciea to commit murder." Tiiis declaration
was received with partial cheers, such as Minis-
terial toadies, those seeking for the crumbs of
patronage that may fall from the Government
table, could bestow. But there was an ominous
silewce on the part of the independent members.
Tb.ey bided their time, until the provisions of the
tontemplated measure were fully txplained, tiad
then should it go beyond what is just and proper,
the Premier will have bitter cause to deplore his
fatuity in yielding to the bluster and "bunku}n"
of a set of insolent soldiers, more ready to indulge
vapouring gaseonades than in deeds of arms.
Even if the measure were imperatively required—
and we unhesitatingly deny that such i# the case I

ARMY WARRANT OF 1854.

General PEEL asked the Under Secretary f,r War
what steps were to be taken to remedy the evils which
hb admitted ou the part of the military authorities had
arisen from the operation of the Warrant of 1854.
Sir J. RAMSDEN said the provisions of the warrant
had been under the consideration of the military autho-

Lord CAMPBELL laid upon the table a bill further
amending the law of libel. The measure only contained
three clauses. The first gave immunity to all faithful
accounts of the proceedings of either House of Parlia-
ment, where strangers had been admitted. The second
gave a defence to all actions at law for the faithful
acoounts of publics meetings where no loss or damage
was sustained by the publication ; and the third defined
what was to be considered a public meeting.
The bill was read a first time.
BANKRUPTCY LAWS.
Lord BROUGHAM asked the noble and learned lord
on the woolsack whether it was intended to introduce
any measure for the amendment of the bankruptcy
laws. The subject might easily be dealt with.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject was
still under the consideration of the Government. A
bill had been prepared, and had been actually presented,
but he could not say any more at pre,ent. He begged
to differ with the noble and learned lord with respect to
the ease with which the required alterations might be
made.

decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may bo within the reach of the most econo-
