RUSSIA.

The following letter has been received from
Warsaly, dated December 12 :—" I have before me
the plan prepared by the committee for reforming
the relations between the nobility and the peasants
in the kingdom of Poland. Prince Gortschakoff will
leave at the end of this month for St. Petersburg,
in order to submit it for the Imperial sanction.
Contrary to what exists in Russia, the persons of
the Polish peasants are free; consequently the com-
mittee appointed to define the relations between
the nobility and the peasants had only to occupy
themselves with the territorial relations, that is,
with the best means of replacing the come by an
acreable rent. The following is a sketch of the
plan proposed by the committee. The corvee will be
replaced by a leasegranted, by the.proprietor to the
peasant, the latter paying a reserved rent for his land.
The contract is not revocable by either of the con-
tracting parties. Until a lease is accepted by the
peasant for the land he cultivates he will be sub-
ject to the corvee as at present. Each holding is to
consist of three acres at least, and the buildings and
farming implements on the land are to become the
property of the peasant. The amount of rent may
be regulated by the proprietor with the commune,
or with each peasant individually, but in no case is
the commune liable for the rent—each peasant is
answerable for his own share. The plan next re-
gulates the term of servitude, and the changes to
be made in the cultivation of the soil, as well as
the right of selling or subletting the holding,which
will depend upon' the consent of the proprietor.
The land so let can never be repurchased by the
proprietor on any pretence, or by anybody in trust
for him. The tenant cannot acquire any other land
without the consent of his landlord. The plan fixes
a maximum and a minimum of land to be acquired
by the tenant, which extends from three acres to
sixty acres. •

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives has
been for two days occupied with the discussion on
the proposition for reducing the postage to an uni-
form rate of 10c. The Minister of Finance warmly
opposed the amendment, on the ground that the
state of the Treasury would not permit the reduc-
tion. The discussion has been again adjourned.

The Unione of Turin has the following from
Lombardy :—" On the 11th a curious demonstration

took place at Pavia, when a large dumber of
citizens and students paraded the principal streets
for four or five days, each with the stump of a clay
pipe in his mouth, the bowl being empty and turned
downwards, meaning thereby that the procession
represented the funeral of the pipe, all those who
had taken part in it pledging themselves to for-
swear tobacco,"

The elections for the Chamber of Deputies in
Bavaria are now nearly terminated. Out of 55
nominations already known, 29 belong to the Mo-
derate Opposition, and only 6 can be considered
altogether Ministerial.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. For all kinds the inquiry
ruled very inactive ; nevertheless, scarcely any change took
place in prices.
The barley trade was rather heavy, on easier terms. In
all other produce the transactions were limited.
Throughout the Continent wheat has ruled heavy, and
previous rates have been with difficulty supported. In the
United States more firmness has been apparent both for
wheat and flour.

The arrivals of English produce into the Port of London
last week were moderate. The imports were less extensive,
viz., 8,070 qrs. of wheat, 12,196 of barley, 17,964 of oats,
37 beans, 1,470 peas, 3:50 tare; 8,775 linseed, 2,110 rape-
seed, 130 mustard seed, 5 sundry seeds, 1,054 sacks and 5
barrels of flour.

Fresh up to-day, coastwise, the arrivals of English wheat
were only moderate, and the receipts by land-carriage were
trifling, although the show of samples was rather limited,
we experienced a slow sale for most kinds of wheat of home
produce. However, compared with Monday last, no change
took place in the quotations. The general condition of the
samples was tolerably good.
There was a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. Fine
dry samples were held at full quotations, but the demand
for them was inactive. Low and damp parcels ruled heavy,
at next to nominal currencies.

In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
We were fairly supplied with barley, and all kinds were
very dull. Prices had a drooping tendency.
Malt was very dull, and is to 2s per qr. cheaper.
The show of oats was tolerably good, and the oat trade
ruled heavy, at the late decline in value.
Beans and peas were heavy, but not cheaper.
In flour only a moderate business was transacted, at last
week's prices.
London, England, 1858-12-20

COMMERCIAL.

BOMBAY, Nov. 25.
The money market since our last summary has been
marked by increased and increasing tightness. The Bank
of Bombay on the 11th inst. raised its rates of interest on
loang 1 per cent, all round. Their char.'s is now for-loans,
at or within three months, on security of government paper,
6 per cent. ; on security of goods, or for discount of private
bills, 8 per cent. - The rates of the other banks arse 1 to 2
per cent. higher than those of the Bank of Bombay. The
stimulus given to thedemand for money by increased trade
leads us to look for still- higher rates shortly. Notwith-
standing the dearness of money, Government Four per
Cents. have advanced during the fortnight 2 per cent.,
and are now 88 per,cent. Five per Cents. remain, as last
quoted, 94 per cent. Business in bank and railway shares
has been limited, and prices :aro rather lower. The
greatest fluctuations have been in mercantiles, which at
the date of the last mail were 9 per cent. premium, and
are now quoted 51 per cent. premium.
COTTON PIECE GOODS.—Since the last mail the demand
for cotton piece goods has become very active, under the
influence of which prices for most kinds have considerably
advanced. Large transactions have bees entered into for
arrival.

EXCHANGE.—There is little change to note. A fair
amount-of business -has been done at rates varying from
the closing prices of the previous mail. Quotations are
to-day : Bank bills, 2s. Ofd: Credits, 2s. Old. Docu-
ments,.2s. ld.

PENINSULAR AND NORTH AFRICAN

MAIL.

The Peninsular axd North African Navigation
Company's steamer Amazon, A. B. Davidson com-
mander, arrived in the river Thames on Saturday,
bringing dates from Lanzarote, Nov. 24 ; Grand
Canary, Nov. 25 ; Ten eriffe, Nov. 26 ; Mogador,
Dec. 5 ; Cadiz, Dec. 7.; Lisbon, Dec. 12. Her cargo
consists of 872 bags of cochineal, 85 bags of granilla,
33 pipes of citron' 133 pipes of wine, 64 casks of
brandy, 1,000 flasks of quicksilver, 182 casks of
olive oil, 715 serons and 232 casks of almonds, 205
casks of gum, 1,264 chests of oranges, 89 chests of
Tangerines, 305 elephants' teeth, 1 case of ostrich
feathers, 98 chests of tea, 47 packages of sundries,
and 4 cases of bullion.

The Amazon brings a fair complement of passen-
gers. She experienced heavy gales on the outward
passage between Lisbon and INlogador. On the 10th
inst., off St. Vincent, spoke the company's steamer
Warrior, outward bound; all well on board. Left
at Lisbon the company's Madeira packet Visconde
d'Altaguia.
Commercial affairs in Morocco were improving,
and the excitement against the Christians was
subsiding.

TAXING A DOCTOR'S BILL.--HALL V. BROOKS.

This was an action to recover a doctor's bill, which, upon
being handed up, his Honour said, " was a heavy one
indeed." _ _ _

Defendant—lt was a great deal more than that, only we
had Mr. Lawrence down and he taxed off nearly half.
His Honour—lt's very fine running up a heavy doctor's
bill, and then getting one of the first surgeons in Europe to
tax it. That costs something.

Ultimately, an order was made at 10s. per week.

EVANS V. ANGELL.

The testator by his will bequeathed all his lands, copy-
hold, leasehold, freehold, and messuages in Crous, in the
county of Surrey, with their " pertinents ;" and the ques-
tion raised was whether the word "pertinents" included
other lands belonging to the testator in the adjoining parish
of Lissford and other parishes.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that
the lands in Lissford and other parishes belonging to the
testator did not pass and were not included under the word
" pertinents "in the testator's will. His Honour doclared
that the demise of the lands in question must be confined
to the testator's lands in the parish of Crous, and did not
extend to his lands in other parishes.

HOMEOPATHY AT A DISCOUNT.-CANTON V. HUSTLER.

Plaintiff is a lithographic printer, and defendant is the
proprietor of Bradley's Food for Poultry. The action was
brought to recover VO for 100 show cards.
Plaintiff said ho had the order from a traveller, named
Cooper, who received it from a Mr. Kimber at defendant's
office.

Cooper had been subposned but did not appear.
Mr. Beard, for defendant, said that his client was not
liable. Kimber had given the order. The goods might
have been delivered, but in the absence of Cooper and
Kimber it was impossible to say under what circumstancos
the order was given.
His Honour—What is the matter with Cooper?
Mr. Beard—He writes from Peckham and says he had
been confined to his bed, and as there is no homoeopathic
doctor at Peckham, he has been doctoring himself.
(Laughter.)
His Honour thought as soon as the fact was known
Peckham would be inundated.
Plaintiff.—Mr. Hustler promised to pay £lO.

Mr. Beard—Defendant denies that, and, besides, if your
Honour wishes to do justice to these parties, you will ad-
journ the case for Cooper's evidence.
His Honour—We ought to have Cooper, and you may
have an adjournment.

PRUSSIA.

The Minister of the Interior in Prussia has
addressed to the Governors of Provinces a circular
which is of considerable importance to the news-
paper press. The late Cabinet arrogated to itself
the right of suspending or withdrawing, without
the intervention of a court of law, the licences
granted to printers of newspapers, without which
they dare not print anything. The circular in
question makes known that the Government pro-
poses
to have the matter regated by a law, and
that in the meantime it directs local authorities not
to exercise that power without first consulting it.
Arrests have been made in the matter of the
epergne which the city of Cologne gave the Princess
Frederick William on her marriage. Better still,
the whole of the precious metal, or very nearly the
whole, has been recovered, although melted down,
so that the costly workmanship of the piece is lost.
It was stolen during the night of the 4th, but was
somehow not missed till several days later. The
persons in custody are a, servant of the palace, aged

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—
It is only a short time since tiiis singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then boughtp some
of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Ate., the animals which
carried off thechighest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. 'Mich facts speak for themselves, and we.
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. • All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

concluded a separate treaty with China of a highly
satisfactory character. The treaty concluded by

CENTRAL INDIA.

Those who follow the movements of our various
columns will recollect that the brigade of Colonel
Smith has been on one perpetual march for nearly
a year, beginning in the middle of last cold
weather, continuing throughout the hot weather,
and up to the present time, with the exception
of three weeks' rest at Sepree in july. It was
determined to give this brigade a rest. On its way it
fell in with a rebel force under Maun Sing at Raj poor,
on the 14th of November, and completely dispersed
it, killing 600 of them. There have been no other
actions of note besides in Central India. Colonel
Scudamore's brigade has returned from Shansi to
Gwalior with the prize jewels, which will probably
soon be sold and distributed to the forces. A
new brigade under Captain M'Mahon, consisting of
a squadron of the 14th Light Dragoons, two guns of
the 4th Company 2d Battalion Bombay Artillery,
a company of the 71st, and 300 of Scindiah's troops
have gone out to Deoghur, to watch a chief named
Burjer Sing, who has come over from the Jalorm
districts, and Dowlut Sing, who has also arrived
from the same quarter with 1,000 plunderers.

We have to report, a liberal supply of grain at market,
and prices ruled about the same as last week, but there was
little doing in the trade. Barley rather improved. Oats
were taken in retail, at previous rates. Beans were scarce,
at about late rates.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since Monday last the arrivals of potatoes, coastwise and
by land carriage, have been seasonably good, and in fair
average condition. The imports have amounted to 250
tons from Dunkirk, 371 from Rouen, 213 from Calais, 74
from Ternenzen, 40 from Hambroi, and 284 from Antwerp.

WOOL MARKET.
There is very little inquiry for either foreign or colonial
wool, nevertheless prices of all kinds are well supported.
Owing to the high rates demanded by holders, English
wool is very dull. Last week's importations amounted to
42 bales from Constantinople, 33 from Gibraltar, 1,104 from
Sydney, and 133 from Hambro'

TAXING A nocxon's 81LL..--11ALL V. BROOKS.

This was an action to recover a doctor's bill, which, upon
being handed up, his Honour said, " was a heavy one
indeed?'

Defendant—lt was a great deal more than that, only we
had Mr. Lawrence down and he taxed off nearly half.
His Honour—lt's very fine running up a heavy doctor's
bill, and then getting one of the first surgeons in Europe to
tax it. That costs something.
Ultimately, an order was made at 103. per week.

ratification of treaties and of executive appoint-
ments. All this has worked admirably in practice,
whilst it conforms in principle with the character
of a government institi.ted by sovereign states. I
presume no American citizen would desire the
slightest change in the arrangement. Still is it
not unjust and unequal to the existing states to
invest some 40,000 o r 50,000 -people collected in a
territory with the attributes of sovereignty, and
place them on an equ.al footing with Virginia and
New York in the Senate of the United States ?
" For these reasons I earnestly recommend the
passage of a general act -which shall provide that,
upon the application of: a territorial legislature, de-
claring their belief that the territory contains a
number of inhabitants. which, if in a state, would
entitle them them to 'elect a member of Congress;it
shall be the duty of the President to cause a census
of the inhabitants to be taken, and if found suffi-
cient, then by the terms of this act to authorise
i
them to proceed ' n their own way' to frame a
state constitution preparatory to admission into the
Union. I also recommend that an appropriation
may be made to enable the President to take a
census of the people of Kansas.

CENTRAL INDIA.

Those who follow the movements of our various
columns will recollect that the brigade of Colonel
Smith has been on one perpetual march for nearly
a year, beginning in the middle of last cold
weather, continuing throughout the hot weather,
and up to the present time, with the exception
of three weeks' rest at Sepree in July. It was
determined to give this brigade a rest. On its way it
fell in with a rebel force under Maun Sing at Raj poor,
on the 14th of November, and completely dispersed
it, killing GOO of them. There have been no other
actions of note besides in Central India. Colonel
Seudamore's brigade has returned from Jhansi to
Gwalior with the prize jewels, which will probably
soon be sold and distributed to the forces. A
new brigade under Captain M'Alahon, consisting of
a squadron of the 14th Light Dragoons, two guns of
the 4th Company 2d Battalion Bombay Artillery,
a company of the 71st, and 300 of Scindiah's troops
have gone out to Deoghur, to watch a chief named
Burjer Sing, who has come over from the Jalo'mn
districts, and Dowlut Sing, who has also arrived
from the same quarter with 1,000 plunderers.

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE IN THE
CITY.

Last evening, at seven o'clock, Mr. W. Payne,
the Coroner, held an inquest at the White Hart
Tavern, Giltspur-street, City, concerning the death
of Maria Drew, aged 28, who committed suicide
undr the following circumstances
Eliza Drew said that she lived in the service
of Mr. Jeffreys, dentist, of the same street. De-
ceased also lived in the same house as cook, and
wag her sister. She was to have been married
to a man named Biggs, an assistant to a
packing-case maker, but he had deceived her.
She told her that he had taken improper ad-
vantage of her. He was to have called to see her on
Thursday as they were to have been married the
next day. She was some months enciente by him.
On the Friday night she made attempts twice to
throw herself out of window, but she prevented her
by pulling her back. At six o'clock in the morning
she went into the kitchen and found that she had
drowned herself in the water cistern. She was got
out, and everything done to restore life, but she was
past recovery. Biggs gave her steel filings on
three occasions for an improper purpose, which
used to make her ill and sick. She believed the
man had gone to work at Woolwich, but she did
not know in what part.
Mr. Jeffreys said that he had heard that the
man had got a woman and two children living in
the country. He used to lodge in the same house
as that in which the inquest was held, and he had
since heard was accepted as deceased's suitor.
David Williams said that he resided in New
cut, and was on intimate terms with the deceased
and her sister, and the deceased had told him that
she had been seduced by the man, who had pro-
cured steel filings for her and had given her one
dose. She also told him that whilst she was stand-
ing at the window on the second floor he suddenly
seized her round the waist and effected her ruin.
John Brown, the potman, said that the man
Biggs used to lodge in that house, but he had not
seen him since Thursday last. He used to work in
the city, and he believed in Watling-street. He
had seen the deceased and the man walk out
together.
Mr. Jeffreys said if he had known that deceased
was keeping company with Biggs he should have
prevented it until he had time to inquire into his
respectability.
The learned Coroner having summed up, the
jury decided upon adjourning the case.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.
London, England, 1858-10-12

WE 1;IIILL GREA T FAIR.

Yesterday (Mcnday) this celebrated fair com-
menced. It is one of the largest in this country, and
to which the highest importance is attached by hop
growers and factors, dairy and cheese farmers,
agriculturists and stock breeders, and many other
classes whose interests are involved in this great
mart ; immense droves of stock and sheep are
brought here for sale, and the largest bulk of hops
that can be brought together are invariably pitched
under canvass for competition, besides which a large
business in cheese r n-1 ln-on is also tra::::,-acted. The
fa:r 1- ci..ht•• days; the first day is for the sale of
sheep, the two following are appropriated for stock
and horses, and afterwards the great hop and cheese
fair commences. The attendance yesterday was
large, but chiefly restricted to sheep dealers and
flock masters. The hill side was covered with sheep
and the pens extended over a large scope of land.
There were upwards of 200,000 head of sheep
folded. Dorsetshire contributed very largely.
Somersetshire, Wilts, and Hants produced a good
supply. There were some pens of choice sheep from
Leicestershire ; Sussex brought down some well-
bred South-down ewes, and many other sheep coun-
ties contributed. The condition of the sheep was in
general healthy and free from foot-rot; there was
not a brisk sale. The short turnip crops tend to
retard any very active competition for sheep, but
the late exceedingly favourable weather has con-
duced very largely to the growth of rape and
coleseed, which form a good substitute for turnips
and a provision for autumn sheep keep, conse-
quently there was a fair demand at prices hereunder
quoted :—Ewes, Dorsets, 445. to 48s. a head ; ditto
couples (ewe and lamb of this autumn), 50s. to 555.;
west country Downs, 365. to 38s. a head ; half-breds,
335. to 365. ; Leicesters, 455. to 495. ; Southdowns,
335. to 375., and aged ewes, 265. to 30s. a head ;
wethers, prime bred sheep, fat, 50s. to 60s. a head ;
useful wethers for folding, 425. to 445. ; tegs, 30s. ;
well bred wether lambs, 18s. to 235. ; ditto ewe
lambs, 17s. to 225. ; and pens of choice lambs, 225.
to 295. a head; long-wool stock sheep sold lower
than at last fair. There was a good show of rams
for sale and letting for the next season, and those
from eminent sheep breeders went off at high
figures. Dorset tups made sto 8 guineas; Leices-
ter ditto 6 to 10 guineas ; Southdown ditto, 4 to 9
guineas; shearlings varied in price from 3to 6
guineas ; some rams of celebrated breeds made as
high as 15 to 20 guineas ; the sheep pens were
nearly sold out. The stock fair will commence
to-day (Tuesday).
