THAMES.

THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY V. THE PARISH OP ST.
GEORGE-IN-THE-EAST.-Mr. Taylor, from the office of Mr.
Weston, solicitor to the London Dock Company, came be-
fore Mr. Paynter to enter into recognisances to prosecute
an appeal, at the next general Quarter Sessions for the
county of Middlesex, against a general rate made by the
trustees of the parish of St. George-in-the-East. The rate
is 9d. in the pound, and was made by the trustees for
paving, lighting, and cleansing the parish, and the assess-
ment of the London Dock Company had been increased,
since the passing of the Metropolis Local Management Act,
from £17,000 to £70,000, and is based upon the poor-rate
assessment. The additional assessment involves an
increase in the burthens of the company to the
extent of upwards of six thousand pounds per annum.
Two appeals are now pending, and a special case has been
moved for the consideration of the Court of Queen's Bench.
Mr. Punter asked the applicant the amount of the re-
cognisance he intended to enter into.
Mr. Taylor said £2O only. That was the amount required
by the act. The proceeding was merely a formal one, and
of course the London Dock Company were most anxious
for a decision on a question of such vital importance.
Mr. Paynter accepted the recognisance offered, and Mr.
Taylor having lodged a parchment setting forth the facts
of the case with Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, took his
leave.

AN INCORRIGIBLE AND HARDENED WRETCH.—EIiza
Stockwood, who has been charged at this court with being
drunk and disorderly, breaking windows, and committing
assaults, not fewer than 50 times in the course of the last
15 years, and who is also well known at the Worship-street
Police-court, was brought before Mr. Paynter charged with
the following violent and disorderly conduct :
The prisoner accosted a poor woman named Morgan in
Broad-street, Ratcliff, and demanded a pint of beer of her.
The woman refused to comply with the prisoner's request,
on which she (prisoner) struck her and knocked her down,
and when she was down kicked her. The prisoner also
made use of the most diabolical threats. She was taken
into custody, and while being put into a cell at the station
she attempted to bite a police-constable, got his trousers
between her teeth and tore them to pieces.
Mr. Paynter said the prisoner had been convicted many
times, and the convictions ought to have been returned, and
the prisoner committed for trial. Ho sentenced her to one
month's imprisonment and hard labour.

SARDINIA.

The Indipendente of Turin announces the arrival
there of the two sons of M. Bixio, for the purpose
of engaging themselves as volunteers in the .Pied-
montese army.

" The inhabitants of Leghorn," says the Opi-
nione of Turin, " had intended making a
demonstration in honour of the volunteers pro-
ceeding to Piedmont, but on receiving a pro-
hibition from the police authorities, they renounced
their project, declaring that they could not think of
running the, risk of any disturbance, when all in
Italy ought to be united."

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
ALLEN V. ALLEN AND DEEREY.

This was an application, on behalf of the female respon-
dent, in a suit pending for a dissolution of marriage on the
ground of alleged adultery.
Dr. Spinks appeared for Mrs. Allen, and Dr. Deane for
the petitioner in the suit.

From the statement of the learned counsel (Dr. Spinks),
it appeared that the respondent went to see her eldest child
at her husband's establishment at Farnham, taking with
her the youngest child, only twenty months old, and being
accompanied by a Mrs. Pullen. By the invitation of Mr.
Allenshe went into a back room, where defendant violently
assaulted and knocked her down. He then summoned his
foreman and a porter, who took the child forcibly from her.
The parties were brought before a magistrate and respec-
tively fined, but she was unable to regain possession of the
child. She now applied to the Court to direct the said
child to be restored to her custody, and also that she might
bo permitted to have access to her other child under such
conditions as the court might feel inclined to impose.
Affidavits were filed stating the respondent's conduct was
not open to reproach, and that she treated the child with
uniform kindness, and it further appeared that she was far
advanced in pregnancy, and that the husband treated /'.'er
frequent applications to be permitted to see her eldest child
with contempt.

Against the application it was pleaded that the respon-
dent was tgei associate 'of improper characters, that her
object in going to the petitioner's was merely to establish a
case of condonation, and that from her pregnancy she was
not in a condition to take care of the child.

The judge considered the conduct of the respondent in
going to the petitioner's was very improper, and for that
and the other grounds alleged against her he was disin-
clined to grant her application, but would take time to
consider before delivering judgment.

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter in the Independanee of Brussels
says :—" You will doubtless remember that Prussia
replied to the Austrian despatch of the 22d January
by a circular dated the 27th, and by a note sent
direct to Vienna in the beginning of March. These
documents maintained the Prussian view, and in-
sisted on the European side of the Italian question.
The Austrian journals afterwards announced that
the Court of Vienna, in a despatch dated the 6th
inst., recommended the adoption of the necessary
preparations for eventually placing tl federal
army on a war footing, but did not announce the
intention of shortly making a proposition to that
effect at Frankfort, lam now told that the
Cabinet of Berlin recently sent a reply remarkable
for its clearness. Prussia, while still maintaining
the same line of policy, gave it to be understood
that she would not object to any direct discussion
between one power and another, but that a one-
sided proposition made by Austria at Frankfort
would not be likely to lead to an under-
standing. Austria, instead of undertaking her
campaign at Frankfort, where she never could have
been able to obtain a vote of the majority for
the disposal of the military forces of Prussia, must
now come to a direct understanding with the Cabi-
net of Berlin. Let us hope that, in the end, the
court of Vienna will understand that direct over-
tures, such as Prussia had a right to expect, are the
only ones likely to lead to a satisfactory result.
Prussia would not pledge herself towards Austria
for any case that might arise and without prelimi-
nary stipulation ; but that does not exclude a
direct understanding under certain conditions."

SPAIN.

The Madrid'journals of the 19th do not contain
any political news of importance. The Chamber of
Commerce of Barcelona had sent an address to the
Government protesting against the idea of Cuba
being sold to the United States, and expressing the
opinion that an attempt will be made to take it by
force. The Espana had again been ordered for
prosecution for a seditious libel.

"The Greek Government," says the Journal du
Havre, "has sent to France a colonel of artillery to
order 20,000 rifled carbines."

A Paris letter in the Nord states that the Sar-
dinian Cabinet•has addressed a communication to
the five great powers 'strongly insisting on being
allowed to take part in the deliberations of any
Congress on the affairs of Italy.

According to the New Gazette of Prussia, the
Emperor of the French has on several occasions
lately recommended the Count de Cavour not to
excite to war—assuring him that in no case would
France go beyond the limits of her engagements.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter, in the Post-anapt Gazette, says :
—" It has been asserted that Austria exercises
over the Italian States a preponderating influence
which is inconsistent with the independence of
those States, and consequently with European

treaties. • This, however, has never been proved,
and in fact there are circumstances which imply
the contrary. If Austria really possessed the in-
fluence over those states which she is represented
to have, she would certainly have been able to
realise her plans of an Italian Customs Union ; but
the Duchies of Parma and Modena are the only
Italian States which have consented to that mea-
sure, and they have done so, not through any in-
fluence of Austria, but because such a union ap-
peared to them advantageous. But Parma has since
denounced the treaty, and the relations which existed
on the subject are now broken off. Tuscany, the
Pontifical States, and Naples would never con sent
to a customs union, although Austria greatly de-
sired that they should do so. All this proves that
Austria does not exercise preponderating influence
in Italy. If she possessed it, the counsels which
she has so often given to the Italian Govern-
ments to effect reforms—counsels always given
in a friendly strain and without encroaching on
their dignitywould not have been in a great
measure fruitless. If the Neapolitan Government
had listened to the counsels of Austria, her diplo-
matic relations with England and France would
not now be interrupted."

CANTERBURY HALL.

Yesterday Mr.. Morton, the energetic proprietor
of this poplinr place of amusement, gave a morning
concert at his establishment, to which he invited
the governors, committee, and children of the
Licensed Victuallers' Schools, with power to the
committee to invite an unlimited. number of their
friends and subscribers to the charity. Accepting
Mr. Morton's kind invitation in the spirit in which
it was given, the committee issued a vast number
_of tickets, and upwards of 1,200 persons attended
to witness the performance ; and about 140 of the
children of the Licensed Victuallers' Schools were
also present. The children arrived at half-past one
o'clock, and. proceeded to the magnificent picture
gallery, of which we have already given a detailed
notice.

Miss Russell, Mrs. Anderson, and Mr. St. Albyn,
were loudly encored, in the "Laughing trio" from
the " Rose of Castille," as was also Mr. Mackney's
nigger songs, and. Mr. J. G. Ford's description of
his attempt to make himself a sailor. Madame
Sauvlet was loudly applauded for her performance
of a solo on the violin, Master Sauvlet was encored
in his solo on the drum, and the whole family were
encored in their overture to " Zampa."
The concert having ended, the children were
bountifully regaled with cake and port•wine negus
by Mr. Morton, and then departed highly pleased
with the entertainment, while the visitors proceeded

STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, March 23.—Although the demand for
worsted goods is drawing to a close, manufacturers
are tolerably well engaged in preparing cotton
articles. The past season has been a favourable one,
a condition of healthiness having pervaded the mar-
ket! The operatives have been fully employed, and
in some branches advances have taken place.
Yarns are less in request, and certain descriptions
of wool easier to purchase.
NOTTINGHAM, 23d.—There is a fair amount of
business doing this week in several branches of the
lace trade, more particularly in plain goods ; but
still business is by no means brisk; several local
failures have also, to a certain extent, shaken con-
fidence ; there is, however, a feeling in the trade
that business will improve. There is a considerable
buoyancy in the hosiery trade ; and, although there
is hardly so much doing in the home departments,
other branches are busy, and the operatives gener-
ally are will employed. Yarns are selling at high
figures.

their project, declaring that they could not think of
running the risk of any disturbance, when all in
Italy ought to be united."

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter in the Independance of Brussels
says :—" You will doubtless remember that Prussia
replied to the Austrian despatch of the 22d January
by a circular dated the 27th, and by a note sent
direct to Vienna in'the beginning of March. These
documents maintained the Prussian view, and in-
sisted on the European side of the Italian question.
The Austrian journals afterwards announced that
the Court of Vienna, in a despatch dated the 6th
inst., recommended the adoption of the necessary
preparations for eventually placing the federal
army on a war footing, but did not announce the
intention of shortly making a proposition to that
effect at Frankfort. lam now told that the
Cabinet of Berlin recently sent a reply remarkable
for its clearness. Prussia, while still maintaining
the same line of policy, gaVe it to be understood
that she would not object to any direct discussion
between one power and another, but that a one-
sided proposition made by Austria at Frankfort
would not be likely to lead to an under-
standing. Austria, instead of undertaking her
campaign at Frankfort, where she never could have
been able to obtain a vote of the majority for
the disposal of the military forces of Prussia, must
now come to a direct understanding with the Cabi-
net of Berlin. Let us hope that, in the end, the
court of Vienna will understand that direct over-
tures, such as Prussia had a right to expect, are the
only ones likely to lead to a satisfactory result.
Prussia would not pledge herself towards Austria
for any case that might arise and without prelimi-
nary stipulation; but that does not exclude a
direct understanding under certain conditions."
