All the speakers were anti-Napoleonic, and in
favour of German nationality.

TURIN, MAY 13,

Advices from Genoa state that the town and port
of that place were yesterday evening illuminated.
The Emperor, accompanied by Prince Napoleon

this morning to visit the Emperor and returned

day.

Our soldiers have pushed forward a strong re-
connoitring party as far as Cascina-di-Stra (?), near
Vercelli, and our artillery began cannonading the
enemy, which, however, was not replied to by
them.

Our troops have re •taken their former position

FRANKFORT, MAY 13.

In an extraordinary sitting of the Federal Diet
to-day the proposition of the military commission
to put the garrisons of the federal fortresses on a
war footing was agreed to.

The Hanoverian representative proposed that a
corps of observation should be placed on the Upper
Rhine, but Prussia protested against such a mea-

sure.

The President of the Diet, the Austrian Ambas-
sador, had, in consequence of a summons to repair
to Vienna, quitted Frankfort without being present
at the sitting.

TRE FATAL ACCIDENT AT WEST-

MINSTER.

THE INQUEST.
This afternoon Mr. Charles St. Cair Bedford held an in-
quest on the bodies of the five persons whose names have
previou•ly appeared as killed in The Sun, in the Board-
room of Westminster Hospital.
The Coroner stated that the course he proposed to
pursue, was that the jury having seen the bodies, they
should, if they thought fit, visit that portion of the
premises where the accident took place, and then in-
quire into the cause of death whioh they would obtain
from the medical officers, and adjourn to a future day, when
the facts might properly be gone into, and he would there-
fore propose, at the termination of their inquiry this day,
that they should adjourn until Tuesday, the 23d inst., at
two o'clock.
The jury having acquiesced in that arrangement,
Evidence of the identity of each of the parties killed
was taken, and Mr. P. K. Adair, the house surgeon,
having deposed to the immediate cause of death from
injuries they had sustained, no post-mortem examina-
tion being necessary,
The Coroner then proposed to adjourn, when
Mr. Charles Russell, the chairman of the company, asked
the coroner whether it would not be convenient to allow the
works to proceed, because delay would be most injurious to
the company, and also to the contractor.
The Coroner said he was most anxious that no diffi-
culty should be raised as to the proceeding of the
building, but at the same time he must request that the
portion of the building where the accident took place
should be left " intact," so that the jury might form
their own opinion on view of its construction, and the
care taken for the protection of the men ; the latter they
must learn from the evidence.
Mr. Craer, the secretary to the company, assured the
Coroner nothing should be removed, and that Mr. Myers,
the contractor, was most willing and anxious to afford
every information.
Mr. Burchall, the solicitor to the company, was present
during the inquiry, as was also the principal directors.
The Coroner adjourned the inquiry to the 23d inst., at
two o'clock.
The scene outside the hospital was of a most painful
character, hundreds of persons being assembled; friends
and relatives desiring possession of the bodies of the
deceased persons, which were delivered up to them, but
not without some difficulty, the aid of the police being re-
quisite. The excitement of the parties was natural in their
anxiety for the deceased ; they wished to have the usual
" wakes," the deceased being natives of the Emerald Isle.

MILITIA.

The South Notts Yeomanry Cavalry have con-
cluded their eight days' training, and were reviewed
on Thursday, on Bulwell Forest, near Nottingham,
by Lieut.• Colonel Lowe, of the 4th Light Dragoons.
Their evolutions were performed in a manner fully
calculated to sustain the reputation the regiment
has acquired for proficiency in its field duties, the
reviewing officer stating that he should have great
pleasure in reporting favourably of them at the
Horse Guards.

THE NORM-COUNTRY SEAMEN AND
THE NAVY.

capt. pill], RN., addressed a large meting of
north country seamen, on Wednesday night" in the
-
Central-hall, South Shields, on the advantages of
the navy.
The Mayor (Mr. ly illiamson)
presided.
The MAYOR, who was received with great ap-
plause, said that it gave him very great pleasure to
introduce to them his gallant friend, Capt. Pim, an
officer who, he had no doubt, was well known to
many of them. Capt. Pim had been sent down to
the Tyne by Government to endeavour to obtain
volunteers for the navy, and his worship trusted
that he would be successful in getting many to
join. (Hear, hear.) The flames of war were spread-
ing over Europe, and he did not know how soon
they might reach this happy land of ours. His
worship, however said that should such a thing
occur—which he trusted would not—they would,
he doubted not, all be ready to take up arms and
drive the enemy far away; and thus show how
futile and absurd it was to attempt to invade Eng-
land. (Hear, hear) It was necessary, however,
that Government at the present time should have
men to man the various vessels, and he, therefore,
trusted that many of them would respond to the
call made by her Majesty. (Hear, hear.) The sea-
men of the north were equal, if not superior, in
bravery to any of those in other ports of this great
empire, and he had no doubt that if circumstances
called them into active duty they would discharge
their duty faithfully and well. (Great applause.)
Captain Pim would address them on various sub-
jects, and they might rely on what he said to them.
Captain Pim on rising was received with three
hearty cheers. After thanking them for the hearty
reception they had given him, he said that he just
wanted to have a quiet chat with them in a sailor-
like way. (Hear, hear.) Seamen were wanted in
her Majesty's navy, and it was his intention to
speak to. them of the advantages they would obtain
Iby joining it. He did not wish to mislead them in

and was continually caning the boy, dragging him
about the room by the . hair of his head, and
committing other acts of tyranny and cruelty, until
he left his home again. Mrs. Marriott had taken
care of the little fellow since Saturday, and had
acted with the greatest kindness towards him.
The following certificate from the boy's school-
master was put in :—" The little boy, William
Clark, when under my care was always a well-
behaved child. I never had occasion to find greater
fault, with him than with other children of his age
and position, but I have been much pained at the
evident neglect and ill treatment he has experienced
from his friends at home.—HENRY RowLEY, master
of St: George's Mission SchoOl, Old Gravel-lane,
May 13,"_

The defence set up by Mr. Stoddart was that the
boy was a great liar and thief, and in the practice
of coming home at two and three o'clock in the
morning.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a cruel and
vindictive stepmother, caring nothing for the
comfort and welfare of her husband's child, wheel
she was bound to protect and to treat with kindness.
He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two
calendar months without hard labour. His reason
"for inflicting such a mild sentence was that she was,
afflicted with a disease very dangerous to life. If
she had been in good health, he would have added
hard labour to the sentence. He ordered 15s. to be
paid to Mrs. Marriott, whose conduct was deserving
of great praise, and • he requeited her to take care
of the boy, arid in a ifortnight'atime he would again
recompense her from the.poor-box fund.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Lord Chief
Baron and Common Juries.)
CHAMBERLAIN V. WHITEHEAD-ASSAULT.

Mr. H. Digby Seymour was counsel for the plain.
tiff, and Mr. Pearce, for the defendant.

The plaintiff in this action, who is a wheelwright,
residing in Rupert-street, sought to recover from
the defendant, an architect and builder, in the same
locality, damages for an assault. The plaintiff and
the defendant were, on the night of Saturday, the
2d of April, in the White Horse public-house, when
some dispute arose between them, and, according
to the plaintiff's case, the defendant rose from his
seat, struck him several blows, knocking him down,
and otherwise injuring him.
In cross-examination he denied that he had struck
the defendant, but admitted that the latter had
sued him in the county court for £l3, which he had
paid since this action was brought.
Some witnesses having been called in support of
the plaintiff's case,
Mr. Pearce addressed the jury for the defence,
submitting that the smallest coin in the realm
would satisfy the justice of the case.
His lordship having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict for the plhintiff—

[ADVEILTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Air—variations in the temperature—dryness and moisture
of the atmosphere—chiefly produce disease. They not only
affect the health, but the perfection of the species. Hence,
the noblest of the human race is the Caucasian, because a
medium temperature ever there prevails. In England, but
too flequently, Russian , cold and Italian heat divide the
day, excessive changes which few can bear with impunity.
Coldt, influenza, consumption, fever, dysentery, are the
disease§ usually springing from our variable climate ; these,
iu their early stages, may be readily cured with Holloway's
remOies, which neutralise in the blood the raorbific pro-
duct§ of the chaugeable,and impure atmosphere, brace the
relaxed frame,- prevent inflammation in the robust, and
annul fever.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.

Sittings in Error—(Before Justices Willes and
Byles, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Watson.)

GARTON V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

_ _ .•
In this case the declaration stated that the defen-
dants wero indebted to the plaintiff for money had
and received, and on an account stated. The defen-
dants pleaded that the cause of action arose after
the passing of the statute which required 20 days'
notice before an action was brought for any matter
under the statute, 5 and 6 Win. IV. The Court of
Queen's Bench, where the case was argued, and
where it was contended that no notice had been
given according to the act, it having been delivered
at the company's offices at Bristol, and not at Pad-
dington, had decided in favour of the defendants,
and from this judgment there was a writ of error.
Mr. Knowles, on behalf of the plaintiff, now
contended that the plea was bad, and was no answer
to the action.

Mr. Smith submitted that the plea was good, and
implied that the action had been brought under the
statute.

The Court was of opinion that the plea was bad,
on the ground that an action for money had and
received did not fall under the statute requiring the
notice.

Judgment for the plaintiff.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.
(Before the Chief Commissioner.)
IN RE CHARLES HIGHMORE POTTS.

This insolvent, of the brevet rank of colonel in
the army, was opposed by Mr. Hawthorne and
Mr. Denney for two creditors ; Mr. Bicker Caarten
supported.
The insolvent had been nearly forty years in the
army, and only had captain's half-pay of £240 a
year. He had been in difficulties for some time.
Mr. Howell, one of the opposing creditors, had
advanced money ; and the other, Mr. Tooke, had
educated the insolvent's son.
The Chief Commissioner intimated that a recom-
mendation should be sent to the Horse Guards that
£9O a year be set aside; and if not allowed he
should give a judgment on the complaint of the
opposing creditors.
Subsequently the case was adjourned to the 25th
instant, in order to see whether the oppositions
could be settled so as to prevent the recommenda-
tion being sent to the Horse Guards.

THE INCOME-TAX.

The following letter describes the mode and pro-
portions in which the increased income-tax will be
levied during the next-half-year :

" Sir,—Considerable misapprehension appears to exist
with reference to the proposed addition to the income and
property-tax; and, as I have been favoured with some ex-
planations.by a gentleman connected with the Department
of Inland Revenue, I venture to send the following infor-
mation, believing it will prove useful to your readers :
A net sum of 4d. in the pound is to be levied in one pay-
ment upon every yearly income exceeding £l5O, in addition
to the existini tax of sd. in the pound, making a total tax
of 9d. in the pound upon the yearly income.
" The existing tax is payable half-yearly, in September
and March. With the moiety of this tax which will fall
duo in September there will be require to be paid, in addi-
tion, 4d. in the pound on the whole income, making the
September payment equal to bid. in the pound on the whole
income. In cases, however, where the, Government deduct
the tax—such as dividends on stock—they will deduct
Is. ld. in the pound on the amount then paid ; because the
payment being of only a half, and not a whole year's in-
come, they must add Bd. instead of 4d. to the original tax,
Bd. in the pound on half the income being, of course, equal
to 4d. in the pound on the whole income.
"When this additional tax shall have been paid by a
tenant mortgagor, &c., he will be entitled to deduct from
his landlord or mortgagee upon payment of the rent or in-
terest then next to accrue due, as follows:
" If a year's rent or interest, 9d. out of each pound he
has to pay. If half a year's rent or interest, ls. Id. out of
each pound he has to pay ; and, if a quarter of a year's
rent or interest, ls. 9d. out of each pound he has to pay.
" The tax is generally collected about Christmas, so that
these observations will generally apply to the payments
falling due at the Christmas quarter and not earlier.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Cannon-street-we.t, July 23." "LEX.

The soiree to Mr. Cobden will (says the Man-
chester _Examiner) be deferred for a short period, as his par-
liamentary duties will prevent his leaving London until
near the time that Parliament will be prorogued. The day
will be announced shortly by advertisement. Great anxiety
Prevails to secure tickets, upwards of 1,000 being already
applied for.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
1,-/ FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from• the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervatinc, causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

Sir C. NAPIER said that as Sir Ds Lacy Evans had a
motion for the appointment of a commission, consisting of
civilians and military and naval officers, which was to be
brought forward that evening; he thought it would be more
convenient if his motion for a commission to inquire into
the management of Greenwich Hospital was postponed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
hoped the hon. and gallant =ember would postpone his
motion, and that course, he assured him, would be for his
(Sir C. Napier's) interest and the convenience of the house.
Sir C. NAPIER consented to postpone his motion.

T.HE LAST NIGHT OF VAqxHALL,

Vauxhall, the favourite resort of the beaux and
belles of the last century, and so long devoted to
mirth and revelry, and the site of many a scene of
enchantment and fairy-land, was last night closed
for ever. Vauxhall has been in our own time the
chief alfresco entertainment of London, and many
of us recollect when the ceremonious Simpson re-
ceived his visitors in the " Royal Property" with
all the grace and punctiliousness of a Beau Nash.
But of late, the rapid growth of the metropolis has
deprived the gardens of their former suburban cha-
racter, rival attractions have sprung up elsewhere,
and for some time Vauxhall has only ofiered its
attractions occasionally, and at uncertain intervals.
Nothwithstanding the flight of the beau monde, and
the change which the gardens have lately under-
gone, it is not without regret that we record their
final closing. Even Cremorne is inferior in inte-
rest to those who remember the glories of Vaux-
hall, when Robinson, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, Paul Bed-
ford, and other vocal favourites were wont to at-
tract dense audiences round the circular orchestra
filled with musicians in full dress. However, the
die is cast. The gardens are about to disappear,
rows of houses will be reared where youth and
beauty wandered of yore, the " dark walk" will be
covered with a well-lit street, and the firework-
ground will in future be held sacred from all exhi-
bitions of the pyrotechnic art. Well, tempora
mutantur, an old acquaintance is gone, and we have
only briefly to record the funeral rites which Mr.
G. Stevens, so long connected with the gardens, re-
solved to celebrate with becoming splendour.
The announcement that there were to be extra
amusements, and that last evening was to be posi-
tively the last night, proved a source of unusual
attraction. The grounds were brilliantly illumi-
nated, and the crowds which thronged them en-
joyed the opportunity of once more participating
in all their old delights and beauties. Mr.
Stevens' efforts to close the scene with suitable
eclat were entirely successful. The programme
was carried out to the letter, and, without specify-
ing the entertainments in detail, it is enough to re-
cord that the whole appeared to afford immense
satisfaction.

The visitors remained in the gardens till a late
hour, and all seemed to leave with reluctance a
scene which, for so lengthened a period, has
afforded a permanent source.of amusement and en-
joyment to the denizens of the metropolis.
London, England, 1859-07-26

SUPPLY.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. LAING said he hoped that hon. members who had
motions on the paper would postpone them until the even-
sitting at six o'clock.
In answer to Sir H. WlLLoraußv,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
would not be necessary to move the second reading of the
Income-tax Bill this evening.
Some hon. members expressed their readiness to accede
to the suggestion of the hon. gentleman the Secretary of
the Treasury.
