THE ARA At

A general order has been issued by command of
the Duke of Cambridge directing that, with the
view to a correct descriptive return of-every soldier
in the army being rendered whenever required, any
increase in height of a soldier, any alteration ill his
appearance, caused by accident or disease, by his
being marked with the' letter " by cross•cup-
ping, or corporal punishment, is to be fully notified
from time to time on the back of his record of ser-
v:ce.

The East India troopship Clarence, 1,200 tons,
Commander Vales, arrived at Gravesend, from Cal-
cutta, on Sunday night, with a large party of
sick and wounded troops on board belonging to
most of the infantry regiments now serving in In-
dia, the detachments being landed yesterday morn-
ing and forwarded to Chatham Barris. n. The
Clarence sailed fro.:, Calcutta on Nov. 23. Slany
of the troops were severely wounded at Lucknow
and Delhi, and nearly the whole are suffering from
general debility, which, will necessitate their dis-
charge from the service.

Tlie Caduceus, chartered freight ship, Capt. Cass,
arrived at Spithead at a late hour on Sunday even-
ing from Hong Kong, with military and naval in-
valids, in mi it try charge of Capt. M. Legge, second
battalion Ist Royals, and in medical charge of
Surgeon Becker.

DEBATE IN THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
The Prussian Chamber was engaged for some
time on Thursday last in discussing the affairs of
Italy. The inhabitants of Breslaw had sent a peti•
tion to the house, urging it to assist in the forma-
tion of a strong and independent kingdom of
Northern Italy. The commission by whom the
petition was considered recommended the adoption
of the " order of the day," but for reasons which
gave offence to the Roman Catholic and Conserva-
tive party.
The speakers in the debate may be divided into
three classes—MM. de Prittwitz and de Bonin,
Protestant Conservatives, who defended legitimacy
and deplored the attacks upon the temporal power
of the Pope; MM. Reichensperger, de Mallinkrodt,
and de Berg, Catholics, who broke a lance for
Austria; and MM. Dohrn, Behrend, de Bcntkow-
ski (Pole), and Baron Vineke, who spoke elo-
quently on behalf of the rights and liberties of the
Italians.
M. DE SCIILEINITZ, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
thought it would be unprecedented to raise a dis-
cussion on so grave a question in an incidental man-
ner, and a propos of a petition. If the Chamber
wished to enter into that debate it would be in ac-
cordance with its dignity to take the initiative in
the matter, or wait till an opportunity was offered
it by the Government.
M. REICIIENSPEITGER declared himself opposed
to a detailed discussion. He very much doubted
whether the petitioners faithfully represented pub-
lic opinion. Last year the Chamber treated the ques-
tion in connection with a loan. The Deputy Simson,
now their president, stated on that occasion that the
ietervention of France had destroyed his sympathy
for Sardinia. " I do not think," continued M.
Reichensperger, "that there have been any events
calculated to modify that opinion. In Lombardy,
it is true, the double-headed eagle of Germany has
been replaced by another which we know; it for-
merly extended its flight as far as Dantzic. I
doubt if the cause of Italy and constitutional liberty
have gained much thereby. The alliance of revo-
lution and absolutism has there been manifested
very clearly." The speaker then dwelt on the fact
that liberty was suppressed in Italy, recalling the
murder of Colonel Anviti, and remarking that the
present Government of the Romagna has been estab-
lished by 1,800 electors. "The commission pro-
nounces for non-intervention. Does it not know
that there are 50,000 French in Lombardy ? Does
it wish the French to have a monopoly of interven-
tion, and that Germany and Prussia should abstain
from interference if the French cross the Alps?
The intrigues and guineas of England have always
played a great part in Italy. The letters of Maz-
zini to Sir John Adams, at Glasgow, prove it. The
patriots who favour an united kingdom in Italy
forget that in order to obtain that result it is neces-
sary to overturn the kingdom of Naples, and other
things besides. The mission of Prussia is to sus-
tain the principles of truth, justice, and legitimacy
(marks of dissent)—and not to aid the revolution.
I am confident the Government will not be want-
ing. Principles are higher than the rights of
princes and thrones. If you overthrow the prin-
ciples, the thrones will be shaken. It will be said
that lam not impartial on this question. (" Hear,
hear," from the Liberal benches.) Ido not disguise
the fact, that my political friends and I have at heart
the lot of the Pope,persecuted by revolution. But that
interest coincides with the principles I have just been
speaking of. As far as we are concerned, we are not
afraid. The rock of St. Peter is standing. We will
not tremble, although destiny should conduct St
Peter into exile, or humble him beneath a despot;
and we are convinced that if that edifice should fall
it is not only on Catholic heads that it will be
pulled down.
M. DE BENTKOWSKY had as much sympathy
for the head of the Church as M. Reichensperger,
but it did not include sympathy for the unfortunate
state of Italy. The presence of the French in Italy
has been compared with their appearance on the
Rhine ; but the difference is great, since on the
Rhine the French did not present themselves as
liberators, but conquerors.
M. DE VINCKE said, in the course of a remarkable
speech, you call the Italians revolutionists. What
were they to do when the legitimate authorities had
neither the courage nor the force to remain at their
posts ? They had no choice but to take another go-
vernment. The same thing was done in England in
1688. The English call that their " gloriovs revolu-
tion." Do not tireyourselves by declainatiens against
insurgents. (Applause.) The Italians are to he
admired for having, after the flight of their sove-
reigns, elected the King of Sardinia, instead of
addressing themselves to Mazzini. The petition of
the Catholic bishops has been mentioned. Those
gentlemen have nothing to do with foreign politics.
The papacy has existed without temporal posses-
sions; the Romagna has failed it only a little late
in the day; last year even Austria possessel upon
the Po a territory which had once belonged- to
the Holy See The French are in Lombardy with
the consent of the King of Sardinia. I have not
heard that they have interfered either in Tuscany
or in the Romagna. M. Reichensperger has spoken
of English guineas. I advise him as a friend not
to deliver himself at the tribune of flying suspicions,
and words that are injurious to allied powers, and
not to swear by the Gazette d 'Augsburg, part of
whose correspondents belong notoriously to a Radi-
cal society in London called "The Sulphur Band."
(Laughter.) It has been said that the petition is
hostile to Austria ; and they have appealed to the
double-headed German Eagle. If I consult history
I can discover nothing German in this bird; not a
feather. The Austrian Eagle is but a black and
yellow bird ; it has nothing German, and it has
done all it can to divide Germany. I can cite
proofs by dozens. One will suffice : remember the
peace of Villafranca. The official despatches prove
that Prussia had advanced, a great deal too much
in my opinion, in favour of Austria, to whom she
wished then to guarantee Lombardy. Neverthe-
less the Emperor of Austria has dared publicly to
accuse Prussia of having abandoned him, and that,
too, at a moment when the Emperor Napoleon de-
clared that he had been stopped in his victorious
march by the attitude of Prussia ! Under these
circumstances we have no motive for showing too
much friendship or complaisance far Austria.
(Applause,) In the interest of Austria herself, I
trust that Sardinia will become strong enough to
serve as a boulevard against France. Austria will
do well also to give up Venetia. (Laughter from
the Conservatives.) Do you prefer, then, that she
should become insolvent ? (No, no.) Yes, I repeat
it—insolvent. Do you prefer seeing her add new
millions to her 'debt, or contracting again a secret
loan of one hundred and eleven millions ? I regard
as an advantage for Germany and Prussia all that
strengthens the power of Sardinia, not only because
of the similarity of our institutions, but because
Sardinia ought to be a protection against France.
For this reason Sardinia ought to preserve the
passage of the Alps. As to the principle of legiti-
macy—l ask if the crown of England, despite the
usurpation of 1688, is not legitimate ? And what
say you of Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Belgium .
What is the prescriptive delay you admit ? Is it
thirty years cr fifty? Until the European law
contains some rule as to this matter, you will do
well to leave us alone with your principles of legi-
timacy. (Laughter.) I have a firm confidence that
the policy of the present Minister of Foreign Affairs
will be in accordance with these views. (_Much
applause.)
M. DE SCIILEINITZ (Minister of Foreign Affairs)
--I still hold the opinion that it would have been
more convenient and constitutional not to have
entered now upon a political discussion. Since
the Chamber has thought otherwise, I wish to com-
municate the little that it is in my power to tell
you of our proceedings. The proposition for a
congress, if it has not been formally abandoned,
has certainly fallen into the background on account
of differences which foreboded anything but a
favourable issue to such deliberatiots. The Cabi-
nets, however, are endeavouring to remove these
differences, and to find the ground for a common
deliberation. These efforts, which recently found
expression in the steps taken simultaneously by the
Cabinets of Berlin and St. Petersburg, have not
been crowned with the desired success. It is of
great interest to Europe that Italy, which is an im-
portant member of the confederation of European
states, should obtain, not only a legal pacification,
but a legal and regular situation. Prussia will
never refuse her aid in obtaining so great an end.
Our most important task must. be to prevent new
complications fsom arising between great powers,
and another great war from bursting upon Europe.
The Chamber then adopted the order of the day
as proposed by the commission.

[AnwaTisEmENT.]—Mr. Benson, Ludgate-hill, has just
published anew illustrated pamphlet on watches (free by post
for tivo stamps). It should be read by all who are about
buying a watch, as it contains prices and important informa-
tion as to —What watch to buy ! where to buy it and how to
use it t

The following further particulars relative to this
dreadful affair are furnished by the correspondent
of the Newcastle Chronicle, who writes from Bur-
radon on Sunday afternoon :
The most intense excitement has prevailed in the
district throughout the whole of the day—crowds
of people from all parts flocking to the scene of the
accident. It is estimated that about 25,000 persons
visited the place during the day. During the
course of Saturday the most unremitting exertions
were made on the part of those who conducted the
search for the bodies in the pit. Up to Saturday
night about 50 additional corpses had been brought
to bank, making the total number about 64 or 65.
Yesterday they were not so successful, only one or
two bodies being found. We have been able to col-
lect further particulars respecting some of the men
who were found on Friday night. George Alder-
son, the overman, was among the first that were
found. After the first explosion he went back into
the workings, accompanied by a young man named
Moses Thompson, 17 years of age, and was killed
by the explosion which subsequently occurred.
About 300 yards beyond the top of the incline
were 25 bodies all together. These had all been
running after The first explosion, and the fresh air
had been cut off by the blowing away of the cross-
ing. Thirteen of these were clasped handsin-hand.
Among these was the son of the deputy-overman,
Weatherley. He was ten years and four Months
old, and was a lad of remarkable intelligence, with
whom the writer was well acquainted. These
bodies were none of them disfigured, but lay per-
fectly placid in death. One of the men had his
arms and legs blown off. Two boys were found
crouching opposite each other with a mouse be-
tween them—all dead.
The following narrative is furnished by two of
the survivors:—
Joseph Blair says :—" I was in the pit on Friday
in the far south fiat driving. I was sitting upon
the limbers attached to the waggons on the main
waggon way. I noticed the air-current first
changed its direction, and then the dust came.
It blew timber, and brat: ice, and horse all down.
I ran away and left the galloway lying. The fire
ran along the top. I ran half- way down the
incline, and met the back overman, Alderson.
He had a good many with him. There was a vast
number of lads among them. He said, Come, my
lade, gang back. she's a'! i fight now.' He pushed us
back with a stick. I hid myself and Thome. Cop-
plewathe behind the tub; and afterwerds we ran
towards the shaft as hard as we could. The cn7set-
ters, T. Gasgosnc and Thos. Mather, would not let
us come up. We remained at the bottom of the
shaft. A man went up for Kirkley. The men did
not know that an accident had happened, but they
thought so from the change in the air, Kirkley
came down in about 20 minutes, s nil way. taking
us hack along the main airway ; when we had got
100 yards the jet blew off again. The blast was
terrible. It knocked us all down and dashed us
against the sides. The horses which were standing
near we-•e rolled backwards and forwards, and
dashed about. Kirkley took three of us in his
arms, and ran with us to the shaft—(Zach. Bead-
len, Jos. Blair, and Thomas Copplewathe). Tne
Aliens not to the shat soon alter us, and they
turned back with Kirkley. John Foster, John
Nicholson, Robt. Thompson, Wm. Gaacoigne, turned
back with Kirkley. All these boys were saved.
They were little boys, end Kirkley helped them
out. The blast filled my eyes, and nearly choked
me. I was bruised a little all over. I saw the fire
of the gas burning along the top; it then went
back. The air was at first too strong for it."
George Allen, aged 18, also a survivor, was em-
ployed as a hewer, and worked in the first bank of
the broken on the south side of the incline. He
says—About half•past two Thomas Maddox and I
felt our ears stopped up, end the small coals flew
from the face of the workings. We heard a rush
of air. Maddox was dull of hearing, but he heard
it. The other lads near us heard it also. We threw
doss n our tools, put oc" shirts on and ran. There
were four of us. We went out by to the incline.
When we got to the me;n way we saw that the
main door into the broken was blown down. The
galloways were standing near, very much fright-
ened. We had our safety lamps with us. We had
not been working with naked candles. The horses
were squealing out with fright; they went back-
wards and forwards with the waggons. Some of
them were so terrified they groaned and lay down.
We then met some fresh air coming in by, and we
got to the top of the incline. Before that we were
nearly stifled with the choke damp. We had to
put our caps into our mouths to stop our breath as
we ran. At the. top incline we met the overman,
Alderson, with lads with him. He said, '6 Lad's,
it's no use going any further (towards the pit shaft);
all the harm that can be's done now." There were
five putters, &c., with Alderson. Thomas Maddox
and I came by. We would not stop. Donnelly
came half way down the inline with us. We waited
for him when he stopped, but he did not speak, so
we came on. He was killed, Maddox and I and
my brother, Robert Allen, came to the bottom of
the bank, when Maddox would have my lamp to ;o
and seek for his brothers. He turned back and was
killed. I stayed behind my brother to persuade
Maddox to come out. I took his lamp which was
out, and gave him mine that was burning. I then
followed my brother. He went on towards the
shaft. I stopped at the lamp-cabin. I lighted
Maddox's lamp and locked it again. The two
horse-keepers were in the cabin. They asked me
what was the matter, and I said the pit had
fired. While I was there they went out to the
horses in the stables, which were just opposite.
Just as I was coming out of the cabin there was
another explosion. There would be at least 20
minutes between the explosions ; we had come in
the dark and with our lamps more than half
a mile. When I came out the dust, stones,
and timber in the air-way were flying out
towards the shaft. A stone struck me on the side
of the face. I ran out before the blast. There
were some little ones before me ; it knocked some of
them down and rolled them along. They were
dashed also against the sides of the air-way. I got
to the pit shaft with the little ones ; I was the biggest
among them, and I helped them along till they got
into the cage. Kirkley and the other lads had gone
up the shaft. The blast blew our lamps out and
broke the glass as we were coming along. My brother
was saved. The horses that we passed were terrified
and squealed out, while they were uneasily moving
the waggons backwards and forwards. There is no
one killed in our family, though there are three of
us who were employed in the pit.
The opinions as to the probable cause of the ac-
cident have varied much, but it is due to the owners
to state that no information reached them which
gave them to suppose that the pit was not in an
efficient state of ventilation. The gas is supposed
to have been produced by the fall of a large quantity
of stone from the roof in the workings between the
"hole" and the " broken coal," or in that part of the
coal better known as the " goal?'
It is stated that John C., who had been off work
for several weeks, told several persons that he con-
sidered the pit unsafe to work in. On Friday he
did not intend to go into the pit, but his wife, with
some anxiety, inquired from him what they should
do to earn a living if he did not. He said in reply,
" Lay the pit clothes out, and I'll go to work, and
we'll all be blown to together." He went out
at 8.30, and at 1.30 was a corpse.
The officials positively affirm that the men exhi-
bited no alarmed about going into a pit; and the
overman states that he never heard of any fear on
the part of the men. When the barometer was
very low some weeks ago, there was an escape of
gas in the pit., as is commonly the case. On this
occasion the overman, without any complaint from
the men, took steps to have the men " drawn out."
It is affirmed also that there were more than one or
two explosions, the first of which fired a portion of
the timber and drove the atmospheric air from the
main airway into the " broken," where it mixed
with the inflammable gas and rendered it explosive-
The owners of the colliery have expressed their
desire for a most complete and searching investiga-
tion, and it is a noticeable fact that in one ofllfr.

for
whatever,23 yea rlsv,hni

The interment of some of the bodies tookaestn

and one at Earsdon. At the former place there
were about 3,000 or 4,000 people present.
The subject of the sad calamity was dwelt upon
by the ministers of several dissenting chapels in
Newcastle yesterday, and special appeals were made
to their liberality on behalf of the unfortunate suf-
ferers. On Sunday next a collection will be taken
in aid of the widows and orphans, at the Unitarian
Chapel, New Bridge-street, Newcastle.

This was, an action to recover damages over and

of injury done to his wife by a ram, the property of

The plaintiff and defendant were both farmers,
living at Kirby &Bars, in this county, and resident
near each other. From the plaintiff's house the
highway to Melton ran through four fie,ds of the
defendant, in one of which he kept a rain. Upon
the day when the accident occurred the plaintiff
and his wife were passing through these fields in
a one-horse trap, on their way tA Melton market,
and, the plaintiff beim, crippled by rheumatism, his
wife, as usual, got down to open a gate for the
plaintiff to drive through, and in so doing was
attacked by the ram, which butt( d at her,

her services, but an expense of £5B for medical at-

Mr. Sergeant Hayes addressed the jury in miti-
gation of damages, and read certain letters that had
passed between the parties 8.5 to compensation.
Mr. Mellor having replied, . .
His Lordship directed the attention of the jury

court was sufficient, and, if not, what further dam-
ages would Compensate the plaintiff.

damages. -,:?'

L V. LOW ,
(Before a Special Jury.)
Mr. Mellor, Q.C., and Mr. Field appeared for the
plaintiff; Mr. Macaulay, Q C., and Air. Brewer
for the dettndant.
This was an action for assault, to which the de-
fendant pleaded—lst, not guilty by statute; 2d,
son assault donesne; and 3d, defence of the posses-
sion of the owner of certain leads by virtue of his
authority. The plaintiff joined issue on the two
first pleas, and to the third replied t iat the defen-
dant had rsed unnecessary violence.

It appeared from the opening statement of coun-
sel, and from the evidence, that the plaintiff and de-
fendant had at one time been on f;:iendly terms,
but that an had arisen bet t.een theta in
cons( quence attic. plaintiff having tt few y r ars since
warned the defendant off certain land over which
the plaintiff had the right of shooting. Some of
the bold over which the plaintiff's right extended
ac joined lands in the pari-shes of Barktty end Bt eby,
belonging to Mr. Pochin, and eccupied by his ttoant,
a Mr. Morley. Mr. Mbrley had for sonic time per-
mitted the plaintiff and a friend of his, named
Marriott, to follow their game on to Mr. Puehin's
land, but latterly Mr. Pechin laid si,pitied to his
tenant, Morley, that he was not to permit any one
to shoot over it, and this had lice,' inquilted to
Mr. Marriott, but not to the pfairr iff. Mr. ',oath),
his brother, and the defendant has arranged to
make a shooting party for the 4i h of October.
and notes had been despatched by Mr. Pullin to
the plaintiff and Marriott, desiring them to refrain
from going on the laud in Morley 's occupation, but
that addressed to the plaintiff had nut reached him
before his leaving borne that morning to shoot.
I~econsequentiv, as usual, followed game off his on
to Mr. Pochiu's land, and while doing so heard
sonic one calling to him hom behind. This was
Lowe, the defendant, who was not well enough
to join the shooting party, and was mounted.
He asked plaintiff what he was doing there, and
roughly told him to go out of the field, which
plaintiff refusing to do. he replied, " Then, I'll
d-- soon make you," and rode round him,
pressinc, him with his horse; he then dismounted
and laid hold of plaintiff's gun with one hand,
and his collar with the other. Plaintiff placed his
thumb over the caps lest the guns should be dis-
charged, and the defendant pulled the hammer
down upon them. They struggled for some time,
and the defendant, taking the plaintiff by the
collar with both hands, dragged him some distance,
and afterwards, upon plaintiff telling him he should
pay for this, replied, "he didn't care, he had had
hispenn'orth.'_

The case of the plaintiff being closed, Mr.
Macaulay addressed the jury for the defendant,
who, he contended, was justified in acting as he did,
since, under Ist and 2d William IY., cap. 32,
where any person was found upon and in the
pursuit of game, it was lawful for any person who
had the right of killing game, and for any per-
son authorised by him, to require the pelson so
found to quit the land. The power to compel such
a person to leave was, in the event of his refusal, in-
cidental, he contended. to the power to require him
to quit, and the defendant was authorised by Mr.
Pochin. The defendant had abstained from en-
forcing the power he might have used to take the
plaintiff before a justice. He contended also that
defendant was entitled to notice of action under
section 47. An apology had been demanded, but
on such terms as Mr. Lowe could not, 'without loss
of self respect, have acceded to.
Witnesses having been called for the defence,
The learned .1 ledge, at the termination of
the defendant's case, intimated that it was
desirable, if possible, to settle the dispute,
and after a short conference Mr. Macaulay
stated that, with the dcsire to restore good feeling
between the parties, he was instructed to say that,
had not the defendant believed that the plaintiff
was acting in wilful defiance of Mr. I'ochin's pro-
l'hibition, he should not have proceeded as he did.
Mr. Mellor, on the part of the plaintiff, expressed
himself satisfied with the terms al ranged between
them and the apology made by the &fen:hint.
Mr. Justice Willes approved the course taken by
both parties.
A juror was withdrawn, and the Court rose.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OXFORD, MARCH 5.

of December, 1859, at Whitchuich.
Mr. Cri pps appeared for the prosecution • Mr.
S. Hill, at the request of the lon
A.
learned judge, defended
the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner had been appointed
to wait upon two poor old people, and upon the
morning of the day in question appearances were
noticed which seemed to indicate that she bad
been delivered of a child. She left the old people
the same morning, siying she was going to her
father and mother • and was seen on her way,
standing in a pond, and reaching with a stick
along the ice towards what turned out to be the
dead body of an infant child. The prisoner was
taken into custody the sprite day, and the body of
the child was examined. The surgeon gave it as
his opinion that it wes born alive. There were
marks on the neck end a fracture of the skull,
which rendered it probable that the child had been
wilfully deprived of life; but, as the evidence also
rendered it possible that the death might have been
caused by the circumstances under which the pri-
soner was delivered, the jury took a lenient view
of the case, and found her guilty only of the at-
tempt to conceal the birth.
Mr. Baron Bramwell said he thought that the
prisoner had been rightly acquitted by the jury, but
he much doubted whether she was acquitted by her
own conscience. His lordship sentenced the pri-
soner to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.

These preparations check those and similar febrile complaints
with unerring c. rtainty and safety, and have rescued hun-

effects of mild damp weather. They put ily the blood, and re-

all irregular action throughout the body.
