CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the supply of English wheat brought
forward on Monday was on offer here to-day. The receipts
fresh up, coastwise and by land carriage, were small. Very
few large buyer~ were in attendance, and the trade ruled
heavy in the extreme, at an average decline, when com-
pared with last week, of 5s per quarter.
Foreign wheat was in good supply and heavy request,
at 3s to 4s per quarter less money than on this day se'n-
night.

There was a moderate inquiry for barley at about previ-

ous currencies.
We had a dull inquiry for malt.

DEPARTURE OF THE SCREW STEAMSHIP AR-
MENIAN rnom LIyERPPOO, WITH THE AFRICA.N'MAILS.
—The screw steamship Armenian sailed yesterday (Tues-
day) from Liverpool for the west coast of Africa. Besides
the African mails, she also took 23 passengers and a full
cargo. It was originally intended that the Armenian
should have left Liverpool on Satiirday last, but in conse
queue of 'some accident sustained by her in coming out of
,dock her departure was delayed until yesterday.

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER AFTER
SENTENCE.

On Monday afternoon, after the business of the
Court was concluded, it was discovered that a pri-
soner of the name of Coveney, alias Norman, who
had been convicted of stealing a basket of linen
from a laundress's cart, and sentenced to five years'
penal servitude, had made his escape. Although
but 20 years of age, he was a' well known thief,
and had been convicted something like fourteen
times. It seems that he was placed in a cell on the
female side, and contrived by sheer strength to
wrench the iron-bar frame from the wood work, to
which it was fixed by screws, to a sufficient extent
to enable him to thrust his body between the end
bar and the wall. He then raised the sash of the
window and got into the area, a tolerably deep
one, at the back of the Guildhall, from which he
by some means managed to clamber up to a ledge,
having reached which he would easily get hold of
the outer railing, over which he would have very
little difficulty in getting. He made good his
escape, and though but a very short time could
have elapsed' since he was seen safe, there is no
doubt other prisoners who were walking about
were aware of the method of escape he had adopted,
and but for the timely arrival of the warder,
would have followed the example by playing
" Follow my leader," under circumstances very
gratifying to themselves. The police were at once
communicated with, and from what is known of the
prisoner, his haunts, and associates, it is thought
he will not be long at large.

SURE CURE.-LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC
BALSAM, without confining the bowels or affecting the
head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best
medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed
cases of asthma, and consumption. It frequently cures per-
sons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, admirably allays
the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons de-
prived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffocation,
may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it —Pre-

THE TYROL.
A letter from Munich says :—" Tyrol, which 111" g
been almost denuded of troops, is now to be
occupied by a corps of 40,000 men. These troops
will advance from Bohemia, under Lieutenant
Field-Marshal Clam-Gallas. The first division'
25,000 strong, is expected to pass through Munich
next week. The remainder, including 5,000 cavalry
will follow. This corpsd'annee has 80 field pieces. T.
Austrians will be warmly received by the
inha
tants of this capital as they march through. It Will
be easy for these troops, if necessary, to advance
from Tyrol and the Voralberg into Italy, to rein'
force the Austrian army actually engaged, or to take
up a position upon the Upper Rhine. For the latter
purpose there is, however, a division, 80,000 strong,
already stationed between Linz and Salzburg, wheel
another corps of equal strength is being prepared
in Gallicia, If we consider, that in addition to
the 50,000 men sent some days back from Trieste to
Venice and Upper Italy under Count Sehaffgotsche
there were already 10 complete corps d'arnzee
in
Italy, which, together with the above-mentioned
50,000 new troops, make 500,000 fighting
mep
force considerably superior to the French—it Wu

DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE CROWDER.

Early yesterday morning Sir Richard Budden Crowder,
one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, died
under circumstances deplorably sudden. For about twelve
months past the learned Judgo had been afflicted with an
inveterate ague, the paroxysms of which always affected his
heart, but it was of a kind which yielded to medical treat-
ment, and never to any great extent prevented the discharge
of his judicial functions. So recently as Friday last, when
seen by an intimate friend, to -whom he paid a visit, he was
in something like high health and spirits, and so late as the
afternoon of Saturday, when he left his residence in Carl-
ton-house-terrace on a visit to the country, his domestics
perceived no change in his appearance. On the suggestion
of his physician, Dr. Elliotson, of Conduit-street, the learned
gentleman spent the greater part of the long vacation at
Brighton, where his health greatly improved, and he re-
turned to town at the commencement of Michaelmas Term,
since which, we believe,- he has regularly attended the sit-
tings of the Court of Common Pleas. During the night of
Sunday he was seized with a paroxysm of ague, more than
ordinarily severe; Dr. Elliotson was summoned to his re-
lief, but before he could reach his residence the learned
judge had ceased to live.
Sir It. Crowder was the eldest son of the late Mr. William
Henry Crowder, of Montague-place. He was born in Lon-
don, and educated first at Eaton, and then at Trinity Col-
lege, Cambridge. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's-
inn, in 1821, and subsequently went the Western Circuit.
In 1837 he became a Queen's Counsel, when he was called
to the bench of the Honourable Society of the Middle
Temple, and served the office of treasurer, moreover, to the
Middle Temple in the year 1845. In August, 1846, he be-
came Recorder of Bristol. He represented the borough of
Liskeard in. Parliament, in the LiberaL interest, from
January, 1849, succeeding, we believe, Mr Charles Buller
—to the time of his elevation to the bench, as a puisne judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Justice Crowder was
never married, and he died in the 64th year of his age.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVgigING, DECEMBER 6, 1859

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, DEC. 5.

The Patrie of this evening says :
" We are assured that most of the European
Powers have given in their adhesion to the Con-

gress.

" The Juge d'lnstruction has decided that there is
no ground for further proceeding in the affair of M.
Gerardin's pamphlet, entitled Napoleon et
l'Europe.' The copies seized by the police have
been returned."

The Pays states that England has consented to
take part in the Congress.
The Pays also believes itself in a position to
state that the difficulties between Piedmont and
Tuscany, on the subject of the Regency of M.
Buoncompagni, are not yet removed.
It is certain that England has agreed to the
proposal that the Congress shall be held in Paris.

BERLIN, DEC. 5.
The Prussian Moniteur contains the appointment
ofl3eneral Von Roon as Minister of War.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

Despatches have been received at the Foreign-
office from the French Minister at Turin, stating
that there was every reason to believe that the King
would so far yield to the wishes of France as not to
send M. Cavour as plenipotentiary to the Congress,
who is very distasteful to ttis former friends. It is
probable that Count Arese, a personal friend of the
Emperor, will be named to represent Sardinia as
first plenipotentiary.
A considerable rise has again taken place in
all quotations at our Bourse, originating mainly
in an assurance that all the great Powers had
consented to unite in Congress. The Three per
Cents have now reached 71f. 35c., which is a
further advance of 20c. on yesterday's quotations.
All quotations are firm, and moreover evince an
upward tendency.
THE BOURSE, Dec. s.—Threes, after having
been done at 71f. 25c., improved to 71f. 45c. ; Mo-
bilier varied from 815 f. to 822 f. 50c. ; Orleans,

TATTERSALLS'-YESTEILDAY.

An attendance commensurate with the dull period of
the year, and a few bets only made on the Derby.
8 to 1 was offered against Umpire, but with no response.
Still the American turfmen do not appear to bo discouraged,
for they have sent over a challenge to take 100 to 1 that
Umpire wins the Derby and Goodwood Cup, and that the
" Benicia Boy" beats the redoubtable Tom Sayers for the
championship of the English Prize Ring. Thormanby and
High Treason were backed for £5O each at the odds
quoted. The Drone, who had been backed in the City for
£lOO, was supported at 1,000 to 40.

THAMES.

CAUTION TO ESSEX WAGGONERS.—Edward Featon, hay
and straw dealer, of Dagenham, Essex, aged 41, surrendered
on bail before Mr. Selfe, to answer a charge of being drunk
and incapable of taking care of his horse and cart, and also
with driving the same without reins, in the Whitechapel-
road.

William Dodsworth, a police-constable, No. 458 A, stated
that he saw the prisoner fast asleep in his cart, drawn by
ono horse, on Saturday afternoon last, in the Whitoehapel-
road. The reins had fallen from the prisoner's hands, and
the horse was without a guide. He stopped the animal and
gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Selfe--In what direction was the horse and cart pro-
ceeding

..,
Dodsworth—Towards Essex, sir. The prisoner was re-
turning from the Whitechapel hay-market, whore ho had
been with a load of hay. _ _

Mr. Selfe—Was he drunk or sober ?
Dodsworth—The prisoner was very drunk, Sir.
The prisoner said the liquor he had drank had got the
bettor of him, but if the policeman had not interfered with
him he should have reached Dagenham in safety.
Mr. Selfe said the police constable had acted most pro-
perly, and if he had not interfered he would have ne-
glected his duty. The practice of driving without reins
was a most dangerous one, and many accidents had arisen
in consequence. If the policeman had not stopped the
horse and cart, it was very probable serious mischief would
have ensued in such a crowded thoroughfare as the White-
chapel-road. There had been frequent convictions of
Essex carters and waggoners who had fallen asleep in their
carts while returning from market ; if the practice was not
discontinued, some examples must be made. The prisoner
had aggravated his offence by not surrendering during yes-
terday, and putting his surety in danger of forfeiting 45.
He would net, however, estreat the recognisance, but fine
the prisoner 20s.
The fine was instantly paid.

AUSTRIA.

The Cabinet of Vienna had become convinced of
the mortifying fact that a Congress would, if neces-
sary, be assembled in spite of the non-participation
of Austria. The same letter affirms that never, not
even in 1848 or 1849, wore the relations of England
and Austria so cold and unfriendly.
The Vienna papers have recently contained some
very insipid articles on the foreign policy of Eng-
land, and the Ost-Deutsche Post to-day foretells
that the British diplomatists will be defeated in
the approaching Congress. The Vienna paper,
December 3, says :—" During the Congress of
Vienna the diplomatists and publicists of England
talked big about the right of nations to think and
choose for themselves, but when the Assembly de-
cided on an intervention in Italy and in Spain
Great Britain entered a protest against it; and let
things take their course. We are of opinion that
England will be faithful to her traditions."

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Last night the performances commenced with a little vau-
deville, called " The Key Under the Door-mat," and profes-
sedly taken from a French piece, entitled "Le Cle sous to
Paillasson." Tho confession as to the origin of the work
was scarcely required, as the plot is of the oldest, and
doubtless did good service long before the cited French
piece was in existence. Two married gentlemen (Messrs. J.
Vining and Rouse) having fallen in love with two ladies,
and having mutually confided their tender sentiments, dis-
cover that their passions have taken a criss-cross direction,
and that each is enamoured of the wife of the other. A
slight embarrassment arises before this great truth is brought
to light, but the peculiarity of the piece consists in the in•
troduction of short scraps of music, after the fashion of the
Parisian vaudeville. As Mr. Rouso has some talent for
e3mic singiug, and Miss Julia St. George is one of the
ladies, the musical portion of the piece is by far the most
agreeable.

THE TREATMENT -of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality, they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By. F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a EilligQoll whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life)
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the ♦arious
kinds of stricture,and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of 'pain to the unhappy sufferers is
,attained, abel ftituke Mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858. •

VENICE.

A Venice letter of the 2d, in the Nord of Brussels,
gives a lamentable account of the situation of that
province. Trade and industry are described as being
at an end; and the expense of lodging the troops has
completed the disastrous position of the inhabitants.
Formerly the troops were concentrated in thetowns
and fortresses, but since the war they are spread
over the country also. Country mansions and
farm-houses have been converted into barracks
and the communes have to pay the cost. A notice
from the superior authorities to which a retroactive
effect as far back as the Ist of January has been
given, declares that the Government will only pay
the ounmunes the expense of tsoldiers' " lodgings
on the footing of troops on the march, and not
of troops in garrison." This last act, it is stated,
has completed the financial discomfiture of all the
Venetian communes.

LYCEUM. THEATBR.

Last night the performances commenced with a littlo vau-
deville; called " The Key Under the Door-mat," and profes-
sedly taken from a French piece, entitled "Le Cle sous le
Paillasson." The confession as to the origin of the work
was scarcely required, as the plot is of the oldest, and
doubtless did good service long before the cited French
piece was in existence. Two married gentlemen (Messrs. J.
Vining and Rouse) having fallen in love with two ladies,
and having mutually confided their tender sentiments, dis-
cover that their passions have taken a criss-cross direction,
and that each,is enamoured of the wife of the other. A
slight embarrassment arises before this great truthfs brought
to light, but the peculiarity of the piece consists in the in•
troduction of short scraps of music, after the fashion of the
Parisian vaudeville. As Mr. Rouse has sonic talent "for
•omit singing, and Miss Julia St. George is ono of the
tidies, the musical portion of the piece is by far the most
agreeable.

DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE CROWDER.

Early yesterday morning Sir Richard Budden Crowder,
one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, died
under circumstances deplorably sudden. For about twelve
months past the learned Judge had been afflicted with an
inveterate ague, the paroxysms of which always affected his
heart, but it was of a kind which yielded to medical treat-
ment, and never to any great extent prevented the discharge
of his judicial functions. So recently as Friday last, when
seen by an intimate friend, to whom he paid a visit, he was
in something like high health and spirits, and so late as the
afternoon of Saturday, when he left his residence in Carl-
ton-house-terrace on a visit to the country, his domestics
perceived no change in his appearance. On the suggestion
of his physician, Dr. Elliotson, of Conduit-street, the learned
gentleman spent the greater part of the long vacation at
Brighton, where his health greatly improved, and he re-
turned to town at the commencement of Michaelmas Term,
since which, we believe, he has regularly attended the sit-
tings of th© Court of Common Pleas. During the night of
Sunday he was seized with a paroxysm of ague, more than
ordinarily severe ; Dr. Elliotson was summoned to his re-
lief, but before he could reach his residence the learned
judge had ceased to live.

Sir R. Crowder was the eldest son of the late Mr. William
Henry Crowder, of Montague-place. He was born in Lon-
don, and educated first at Eaton, and then at Trinity Col-
lege, Cambridge. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's-
inn, in 1821, and subsequently went the Western Circuit.
In 1837 he became a Queen's Counsel, when ho was called
to the bench of the Honourable Society of the Middle
Temple, and served the office of treasurer, moreover, to the
Middle Temple in the year 1345. In August, 1846, ho be-
came Recorder of Bristol. He represented the borough of
Liskeard in Parliament, in the Liberal interest, from
January, 1849, succeeding, we believe, Mr Charles Buller
—to the time of his elevation to the bench, as a puisne judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Justice Crowder was
never married, and he died in the 64th year of his ago.

SARDINIA.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa publishes two
documents found in the archives of Bologna, and
referring to acts of the Government before the
war in Italy. In the•first Cardinal Bernetti gives
orders that the political prisoners shall be removed
to distant and unhealthy localities; and in the
second Cardinal Spinola directs that the bastinado
shall be employed as a means of correction for chil-
dren sent to prison on the charge of vagrancy.
The 21Ionitore Toscana assigns two fundamental
reasons for the refusal which had been made to the
Buoncompagni Regency—first, the substitution of
a person contrary:to the vote of the Assembly led to
the formation of a separate union of the four Central
Italian provinces, and not to what they wanted,
namely, their annexation to the kingdom of Sar-
dinia as was wished ; second, this state of things
seemed dangerous to the Tuscan Government. It
desired an Italian union,and all these partial unions
were only really productive of real separa-
tions. Devoted to the nation and to the King it
was their duty to dispute the possession of the soil
wih all pretenders whatever their name or patronage.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Miss Katharine Hickson, a leading actress at this house,
took her benefit last night, and essayed the faVourite cha-
racter of Pauline in the " Lady of Lyons," Her 'interpre-
tation is based on that of Miss Helen Faucit, and, though
her physical force is not apparently great, she gives evidence
throughout of care and intelligence, while her face and
figure are well suited to the part. She 'was supported by
Mr. Howe, as Claude Melnotte ; and a miscellaneous con-
cert, with Mr. Chatterton, the harpist, as one of the per-
formers, was offered as a special attraction on the occasion.
Miss Lydia Thompson, whose dancing has been the chief
feature of the season, will take her benefit on Thursday

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, DEC. 5.

The Patric of this evening says :
" We are assured that most of the European
Powers have given in their adhesion to the Con-

gross.

"The Juge d'lnstruction has decided that there is
no ground for further proceeding in the affair of M.
Gerardin's pamphlet, entitled Napoleon et
l'Europe."fhe copies seized by the police have
been returned."

The Pays states that England has consented to
take part in the Congress.

The Pays also believes itself in a position to
state that the difficulties between Piedmont and
Tuscany, on the subject of the Regency of M.
Buoncompagni, are not yet removed.
It is certain that England has agreed to the
proposal that the Congress shall be held in Paris.

BERLIN, DEC. 5.
The Prussian Moniteur contains the appointment
of General Von Roon as Minister of War.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

Despatches have been received at the Foreign-
office from the French Minister at Turin, stating

that there was every reason to believe that the King
would so far yield to the wishes of France as not to
send M. Cavour as plenipotentiary to the Congress,
who is very distasteful to his former friends. It is
probable that Count Arese, a personal friend of the
Emperor, will be named to represent Sardinia as
first plenipotentiary.
A considerable rise has again taken place in
all quotations at our Bourse, originating mainly
in an assurance that all the great Powers had
consented to unite in Congress. The Three per
Cents have now reached 71f. 35e., which is a
further advance of 20c. on yesterday's quotations.
All quotations are firm, and moreover evince an
upward tendency.
THE BOURSE, Dec. s.—Threes, after having
been done at 71f. 25c., improved to 71f. 45c. ; Mo-
bilier varied from 815 f. to 822 f. 50c. ; Orleans,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BRACE OF ARTFUL PICKPOCKETS.—John linagell
and James Hewitt, two lads, were charged as follows :
Enoch Cook, 70 C, said that at half-past four the previ-
ous afternoon, while in plain clothes in Jermyn-street, he
saw the prisoner Hewitt put his hand into a gentleman's
pocket, Huss@ll being close at his side at the time. The
gentleman struck Hewith with his umbrella, and they
crossed the street. He followed them about for half an hour,
keeping his eye on them, and they continued together all
the time. liussell stopped at the corner of Bond-street in
Piccadilly and tried a gentleman's pocket there, and they
then joined company again and tried other pockets.
Hussell—Now, then, speak it out. You speak loud
enough, but you'r thinking of what you shall say.
(Laughter.)

Cook (in cot.tinuation) said he then got into a doorway,
and having got assistance took them into custody. Hewitt
was very violent on the way.

liussell—l had no grub, and did make one attempt. The
polideman said he was waiting till he had us "to rights"
and did the deed.

Cook said they refused to give any account of themselves.
Hussell—l gave my address last night.
Mr. Beadon said he gave a very different one new.
Hussell—Ah, but I did not know the name of the street
I was living in then.
Remanded.

POLY GRAPHIC HALL.

The Russian conjuror, Professor Wiljalba Frikell, re-
appeared last night at Mr. Woodin's Hall, and amid general
applause went through the tricks that have rendered him
a " pet" of the London public for something like two years.
Succeeding a race of necromancers who depended less on
pliability of their fingers than on the mechanical perfection
of their apparatus, he was the first to dismiss that glitter-
ing- laboratory with which his predecessors dazzled the pub-
lic eye, and to revive the art of legerdemain in all its purity.
Bouble•bottomed vases and boxes ar" foreign to his calling,
but from a borviwed hat he will produce goblets enough to
stock a silversmith's sh9p, besides innumerable trinkets for
ladies, while his power of drawing from an empty cloak
globes of live gold fish, swimming in real water, is as great
as ever.

BREACB OF PROMISE EXTRAOR
DINARY.
JULIA SARAH DE WINTON TROWSDALE
HUGH STEWART.
This was an action for breach of promise, tried
at the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Friday,
before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury.
The court• was densely crowded during the day.
One of the side galleries was occupied by ladies.
• Mr. Sergeant O'Hagan, Q.C., Mr. Armstrong,
Q.C., and Mr. Crawford appeared for the plaintiff.
Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., Mr. Macdonogh, Q.C., Mr.
Joy, Q.C., Mr. Sullivan, Q.C., and Mr. Falkiner
appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Crawford opened the pleadings. The sum-
mons and plaint contained three counts, alleging
that, in consideration of defendant being
.then
,unmarried, he promised to marry plaintiff,
nad alleging as a breach of the contract
I that he married a certain other person named Lizzie
Hope. One of the counts alleged that the promise
was to marry the plaintiff in a reasonable time after
the death of defendant's grandfather, and stated
that his grandfather was dead, and the defendant
married to Lizzie Hope. The defendant pleaded
that he did not promise to marry the plaintiff as
alleged. The issue for the jury was, whether the
defendant did promise and undertake to marry the
