BRIGHTON.

During the last two days Brighton has been
visited by some extraordinary high tides and severe
gales, which extended along the whole coast, the
eastward having experienced the greatest severity.
The change in the weather took place on Sunday,
during which day the rain descended heavily, but
cleared off towards midnight, when the wind in-
creased in fury, and on Monday morning was accom-
panied by smart snow showers and loud peals of
thunder; and the wind continued rising till the
storm reached its height about 11 o'clock last night
when the tide was just upon the turn. The sea at
that time presented a grand sight, and hundreds of
persons were attracted to the cliffs to witness it and
the exertions of the boatmen in securing the vari-
ous small craft which line the beaqh. They were
successful gmerally, but several of their boats were
completely broken up; and the waves, which ran
higher than has been known for many years, have
washed away a large portion of the lower western
esplanade, and somewhat damaged the railings on
the east side of the first tower on the Chain-pier.
The gale continued throughout this morning, and
but one vessel, which had carried away her main-
mast,was descried in the offing, but was not signal-
ling for assistance; but a vessel was blown ashore
at Portobello Gap, between Brighton and Rotting-
dean, shortly before 12 o'clock last night. She
proved to be the Ariadne, with dried fruit, from
Malaga for Leith, the chief portion of her cargo
consisting of almonds. Her crew consisted of three
men and a boy, all of whom were saved. From
what we can learn, she had formerly been used as
a schooner-rigged yacht, but had lately been em-
ployed as a trader. Considerable damage has been
sustained at Eastbourne, and also at Worthing. At
the latter place the sea washed into the middle of
the to ND, reaching the Town-hall, which is more
than 200 yards above high-water mark. Mr. Ben-
nett, of the Steyne Hotel, has experienced a loss of
£3OO by damage to wines, and a similar result
would have occurred to the Marine Hotel, but it
was averted by the precautionary measures which
had been taken•

BRISTOL.

Bristol was visited on the afternoon and evening
of Tuesday with a heavy storm, accompanied by a
violent gale from the east, shifting south, and
bringing with it a rise in the temperature after the
severe frosts of the preceding days. The mercury
fell fast, and at 8 p.m., stood (at 228 feet above the
sea) at 28.608 inches, being the lowest since Oct. 8,
1857, when it was 28.529. The rain gauge of the
Bristol Waterworks Company indicated a fall of
seventy-five hundredths in the 24 hours ending at
10 a.m. yesterday morning.

EXETER.

Exeter and many parts of the county of Devon
were visited with a tremendous storm on Tuesday.
Torrents of rain fell in the day ; the Exe overflowed
its banks, the valley of the Clyst was flooded, and
property in many places was destroyed. The rain
was succeeded in the night by a terrific gale. This,
in conjunction with a spring tide, has seriously
damaged the South Devon line, which runs for a
long distance in close proximity to the sea. It is re-
ported that several breaches in the line betwcon
Exeter and Teignmouth have occurred, the result
of which is that " all traffic was suspended until
further orders" on Wednesday. A correspondent,
writing from Totnes, states that the tide was so
high that the streets were inundated.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY).

(OLD COURT.)
(Before the Lord Chief Baron and lir. Justice Williams

George Frederick Royal, aged 30, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Zipporah Wright, a woman with whom
he cohabited, in June last, in Gough-street, Poplar, by
administering to her a quantity of cantharides.
The Solicitor-General (Sir Henry Keating), Mr. Welsby,

Mr. Clark, and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution
Mr. Sleigh for the defence.

The prisoner is a man of rather sallow complexion, with
long brown hair, a heavy moustache, and beard underneath
the chin. On taking his place in the dock he pleaded not
guilty to the indictment, and immediately the Solicitor-
General commenced his address he fixed his eyes steadfastly
on the hon. gentleman during the whale time he was
addressing the jury.
The Solicitor-General, in his opening address, detailed
the circumstances on which he should rely for a conviction.
The prisoner, it appeared, in early life had been engaged in
a chemist's shop, and had afterwards worked at several
other occupations. With regard to the poison supposed to
have been administered the learned gentleman related that
Dr. Webb and Dr. Letheby differed as to its nomenclature:
one considered that it was tincture of cantharides, and the
other that it was croton oil. That it was poison there was
no doubt, and the medical witnesses would satisfactorily
explain to the jury how it was that they could not agree as
to the poisonous matter that caused the death of the unfor•
tunate woman.
The first witness called was
London, England, 1859-10-27

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals publish a plan of campaign
for the intended expedition to Morocco, which is
rather amusing, from the cool manner in which the
various proceedings of the Spanish forces are
mapped out. After stating that when once the
campaign is opened no time should be thrown
away in besieging places in a regular manner, but
that they should be set fire to by means of shells
and rockets, which would compel an immediate
surrender, the writer continues :
The following table indicates in a few words the opera-
tions which the Spanish army ought to effect on the coast
of Africa, and their approximative duration :—Conveyance
of the expedition to Ceuta, and landing and organisation of
the columns, 9 days ; march from Ceuta to Tangiers by the
Kassar, 2; attack on Tangiers by sea and land, capture of the
place and stay in it, leaving troops on departure, 2 ; march
from Tangiers to Larache, by the Madrones and Arcilla, 8;
attack of Larache by sea and land, taking of the place, and
stay there, 3 ; march from Larache to Mehedia by Marmora,
3 ; attack of Mehedia by sea and land, taking of the place,
and stay there, 6 ; march from Mehedia to Rabat, 1_ ; attack
of Rabat by sea and land, capture of the place and
stay there, 5 ; march from Rabat to Mequinez, 3;
attack and capture of Mequinez, 3 ; march from
Mequinez to Fez, 2 ; attack of Fez, capture of the
place, and conclusion of a treaty of peace between
the two countries, 8 ; return to Rabat, the point of defini-
tive occupation, 6. Each of the above places should have a
contribution levied on it, according to its wealth, and
which may be regulated as follows :—Tangiers, 10 millions
of francs ; Larache, 2 millions ; Mehedia, 2; Rabat, 2 ; Me-
quinez, 4 ; Fez, 40 ; being in all 60 millions. When the
Spanish army shall have proceeded along the coast, and pene-
trated to Fez, the Holy City of the empire, Spain would have
nothing to gain by a prolonged occupation ; but it would
be an immense advantage for her to occupy Rabat defini-
tively and in a strong manner, by converting it into a free
port, like Gibraltar. All the caravans which do not pass
by Tangiers, Fez, and Morocco come to Rabat with the
productions of Africa, where they exchange them for mer-
chandise of different kinds. Itabat would be an excellent mili-
tary position to serve for the starting point for an expedition
against Fez or Morocco, if such an operation should become
necesary to secure the execution of the treaty. An annual
tribute of 10 millions might readily be exacted by Spain
from the Emperor of Morocco. In the event of the expedi-
tion not taking place, in consequence of the Emperor pro.
mising a complete satisfaction, the Court of Madrid ought
nevertheless to exact as one of the conditions of acceptance
of that reparation,' the exchange of 'Rabat for Melilla, for
the reasons above-mentioned."

THE GREAT EASTERN.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.
Arrangements for the reception of the Great
Eastern, which is expected to arrive here from
Holyhead early next week are in active progress.
At a meeting or the Town-Council, held to-day, the
following communication was read :
"The Great Ship Company (limited), King William-
street, London, Oct. 21.

,
" Sir,—A committee of the Board of this Company has
been appointed to inquire into and report upon the following
points :
" Safety, railway charges, general charges, and facilities
of trade of the various ports of the United Kingdom, in order
to determine the moat suitable port for the Great Eastern.
" The committee will be happy to receive any information
you can give respecting Southampton.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, servan,
Secretary.t
"To the Worshipful the Mayor of Southampton."

The MAYOR (Mr. Alderman Palk) called uppn Mr.
J. 11. Stcbbing, the President of the Chamber of •
Commerce, Who is aLio a member of the Council, to
explain the present position of rfrairEe ; •
Mr. STEBBING, 1:1 respotme to the Mayor's call,
stated that the letter before the Council was one simi-
lar to that which he found yesterday, when at Ports-
mouth, had been sent to the Mayor of that borough,
and doubtless, judging from the terms of the letter,
t) many other principal ports in Englan it and Ire-
land. It had nothing to do, however, with the ar-
rangements now near completion for bringing the
Great Eastern to Southampton, but to her ultimate
loading port, to and from which she would trade. 'At
the interview which he and Mr. Hedger, the dock-
master, had last week with the directors of the Great
Ship Company in London, a resolution was handed
to him stating that the Great Eastern was orderedto
Southampton to be refitted; in fact, he might say,
to have tested the safety and conveniences of this
port iu getting her ready for sea, and which were
known to exceed those possessed by any other
with so good a harbour. Acting on this resolu-
tion, the Chamber of Commerce were moping to
Southampton all the necessary moorings, and they
would be ready for the Great Eastern in a few
days, according to the plan arranged by Captain
Harrison. Before the vessel left Southampton
probably some two or three months hence, the
directors of the Great Ship Company would have
received statements in reply to their circular show-
ing the advantages of the various ports, andhe had
no doubt that Southampton would contrast most
favourably with any one of them, this port uniting
a larger aggregate of advantages than any other.,
and he trusted that the reception, safety, cont7i nit-
ence, and accommodation afforded while_ r fito

THE ARMY.

In addition to the large quantity of engineering
stores which the detachments of Royal Engineers
about proceeding to China take out with them, the
authorities have decided on forwarding to China,
several miles of telegraph wires, together with tele-
graph apparatus of the most modern construction,
in order to enable the force which is about to be
drspatched to China to keep up instantaneous com-
munication with each other whenever separated.
Several of the non-commissioned officers and men of
the Royal Engineers who have been selected to
proceed with the detachment to China have been
undergoing a course of instruction at the telegraph
school at the Royal Engineer Establishment,
Chatham, to enable them to lay the wires and
work the apparatus. It is still undecided what
day the Royal Engineers will embark for Hong
Kong, in order for their embarkation on the day
first mentioned having been countermanded. The
men, however, are kept in readiness at Bromptou
barracks to leave that establishment for their desti-
nation at a day's notice. Each man has been furnished
with the articles he will require, together with a
supply of light clothing suitable for the climate of
China.

The 48th, Northamptonshire Regiment of Militia,
assembled for training on Monday, and now muster
over 800 of all ranks and 20 officers, under the per-
sonal command of Lieut.-Col. Lord Burghley, M.P.

A communication from Aloefra, Oct. 26, says :
" The Royal Charter was wrecked last night in a
terrific gale from the N.N.E. All hands lost ex-
cept, according to my judgment, 25 ; all the officers
lost excepting the carpenter and boatswain's mate."
The communication, which was interrupted, is now
complete. The pilotboat No. 12 is now in the river.
A paAsenger from Holyhead reports that yester-
day a part of the breakwater was washed away,
and that a vessel had been in collision with the
Great Eastern. No damage, however, was done.

Rumours have of late been current here of a split
in the English Cabinet. Lord Palmerston is said
to be opposed to Lord John Russell on the Italian
question. The noble Premier, according to what
is stated here, is disposed to accept the treaty of
Zurich as a proper settlement of the Italian diffi-
culty, while Lord John refuses to hear of a Congress
on such a basis. Ido not myself attach the slight-
est importance to this rumour, but they are so gene-
rally circulated here that it is impossible not to
notice them. The Presse to-night says Accord-
ing to Paris report Lord Palmerston will carry the
day ; and, according to the rumours which reach us
from London, the odds are in favour of Lord John."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF EMPLOYERS:—Francis Frede-
rick Mundy, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Hay-
ward and Drayton, linendrapers, 95, 97, and 98, Tottenham-
court-road, was placed at the bar charged as follows by Mr.
Inspector Pethers of the E division :
Robert Schrodle, foreman to Mr. Robert Barker Starling,
pawnbroker, Great Portland-street, said on Monday even-
ing the prisoner called at their house about nine o'clock,
two hours after the usual business hours, and said he
wanted a loan of money. I told him I could not accommo-
date him then, and he left a bundle of silk handkerchiefs
and said he would call the next morning. He did not call
till the next evening, when he was given into custody.
Mr. J. W. Pethers, Inspector of the E division, said—ln
company of Sergeant Franklin, 21 E, I went to the last
witiess's house in Great Portland-street, and after waiting
wn hour the prisoner came, and last witness asking his name
he said it was Francis Frederick Store, of 3, Eastcheap. I
stepped from the passage into the room where the prisoner
was, and asked the prisoner if that was his correct name,
and after a little hesitation he said his name was " Mundy."
I pointed to the handkerchiefs, and asked him if they were
his, and he said " Yes." I asked how many there were,
and he said 12. I told him he was wrong, for there were
only 11; and in answer to where he got them, he said he
bought them at Bristol. I told him if he could refer me
to any one I would go with him, but as he refused to do so
or give his address, I took him into custody. His address
having been discovered, his lodgings were searched and a
large number of duplicates found relating to property of a
description likely to be stolen.

Henry Heath, assistant to Messrs. Hayward and Dray-
ton, said the prisoner was in the employ of the firm, and
that the handkerchiefs, he believed, formed part of their
stock that was missed the previous day.
The prisoner had nothing to say, and was remanded at
the request of Inspector Pethers for further inquiry.

LIVERPOOL.

During Tuesday night and all yesterday morning
a strong gala from the north-west, accompanied
with sleet and rain, prevailed at Liverpool. In the
course of the day the clipper White Star, for Mel-
bourne, got adrift and fouled the Gladiator, for
India; eventually she was made fast to her Majes-
ty's ship Hastings until the necessary assistance
could be obtained. A flat foundered off Seacomb,
and two men and a boy were drowned. The screw
steamship City of Baltimore and the North Ame-
rican, the former for New York and the latter for
Canada, which were to have left to-day, are still in
the liver. The fine screw steamer Semaphore,
which left Belfast on Tuesday morning, full of cat-
tle and pigs, below and on deck, had a most awful
night of it, and lost a number overboard. Her
dccks, as she lay alongside the landing-stage, pre-
sented a most pitiable spectacle, being covered with
dead and dying cattle, which lay in the most extra-
ordinary postures, with horns broken, and necks
and limbs distorted; life appeared to have been
washed out of them. Here and there were pigs
which had been crushed to death, while others with
but little life in them were lying close to the car-
cases, endeavouring to gain warmth where warmth
there was none. The hold was full of dead beasts.
The screw steamship Royal Charter, which was
reported at Queenstown on Monday, after a passage
of 58 days, from Melbourne, has not yet arrived
here. During the day crowds were assembled in
the neighbourhood of St. George's Church, watch-
ing the tall steeple, which was said to be oscillating,
and as it is known not to be very firm, some appre-
hension was expressed. At 5 p.m. yesterday, the
gale had subsided, and the glass was rising.

GREA7' FIRM AT BERMONDSEY.

Yesterday morning the metropolis was visited by
a more serious fire than has occurred for some time,
property valued at many thousand pounds sterling
being totally destroyed. The conflagration took
place shortly before four o'clock a.m., in the large
range of premises belonging to Mr. John Cook,
fur-dyer, -White's•ground, Crucifix-lane, Bermond-
sey. The fire was discovered by Cutler, a watch-
man, who at once despatched messengers for the
engines. In a short time several engines arrived,
but by this time the flames had gained entire pos-
session of other buildings, belonging to Messrs.
Oastler and Co., tanners, and to Mr. Joseph
Castle, cab proprietor. At the same time the fire
attacked with full vigour the backs of nine houses
in White's-row. After some time the engines were
got to work, but at first water was with difficulty
obtained, and though after a time copious streams
were thrown into the blazing premises, the fire
continued to progress with fearful power. The
flames rushed across the street, and the inmates of
the opposite houses fled in their nightclothes, carry-
ing their children in their arms. The firemen,
although exposed to imminent danger, kept to their
work, but whilst so engaged the walls and build-
ing fell in with a noise like thunder. As to the
origin of the misfortune, not the least information
could be obtained. The loss will fall on the Royal
Exchange, Sun, Globe, Phoenix, and other fire-
offices.

The following is Mr. Braidwood's official report
of the damage done, as far as can at present be
ascertained•--

Oct. 26,1839, 5 a.m.—A fire took place in White's-
ground, Bermondsey, which destcoyed the timber
buildings used as workshops, the property of Mr.
J. Cook, fur-dyer. Contents insured in the Sun

indignantly from him.) I saw the prisoner when I got
there, and accused him' of poisoning my daughter from
what I heard from Mrs. Allen. He said he had not.
Mr. Sleigh--What were the exact words you used ?
Witness—l ran to the house in Gough-street when. I was
sent for. As soon as I entered the room the prisoner took
up his coat, and was about leaving, when I followed him
and took hold of his collar, and brought him back. I then
accused him of poisoning my child. He denied it. I then
said to him, "Do you think my daughter has taken any-
thing herself 'r'" He said, " No, I am sure she ha:
not. I used to keep poison to polish my 'a ork, but 1
have not had any a long time by me." I remained
with my daughter till one o'clock, who was in bed all the
time, labouring under continual thirst, violent purging, and
a burning sensation in her throat. Having described the
circumstances connected with the subsequent visits
of the deceased, she said he gave her milk
during the night. [The poor woman gave her
evidence in a manner which elicited the sympathy of every
person in court.] On the Thursday, when she went to the
prisoner's home he was not at home, and when he came in
in the evening I saw him in Mrs. Allen's parlour. I took
him by the throat, and told him he had poisoned my daugh-
ter. He said he had not, but I told him he had, and that
his death-bed would be hell (whichsit will, she added in a
very excited manner.) About five o'clock on Friday morn-
ing the prisoner came into the room, lo Aced at deceased,
and asked how she was. She said, "I am very bad," and
asked him if he was going to work. He said, " Yes ; as soon
as you are up." He then packed up his tools, kissed deceased,
and went away. As he was leaving the room deceased said
"Oh, George George ; thiswill be the last kiss of me." He then
left the house, and did not return. I administered to deceased
arrawroot and milk from the Thursday evening, and bar-
leywater which was prepared by me and Mrs. Allen. After
the prisoner had packed up his tools and left the house my
daughter said, " God forgive that wicked man I" I said
to her, " The doctors have done all they could for you ;
you are now in the hands of God." She was perfectly
aware she was dying. Her agony was very great. She
could scarcely utter a syllable ; her sufferings were beyond
description, and she could not say any more than " God
forgive him I" I remained with her up to the time of her
death, which occurred at two o'clock on Saturday morning.
Mrs. Sarah Ann Eagle, wife of a master mariner, and
sister of the prisoner, said—My brother has worked for
three years as a shoemaker; he has also worked as a car-
penter and cab driver Ho has also lived as groom with
Mr. Wildbore, a chemist, at Notting-hill. He had prel'
viously lived with Mr. John, a chemist, of High-street,
Kensington. He is 33 years of age.
Mr. Welsby—ls he married ?
Mr. Sleigh—l object to the question if the witness was
present at the ceremony.
Witness—My mother went to see them married. The
deceased was my servant.

I\IOLENA.

But if the Grand Duke of Tuscany is fairly de-
posed after having abandoned his States, and left
them without any organised executive, much more
has the fugitive Grand Duke of Modena forfeited
all his rights to reign over the Modenese provinces.
The Dukes of Este reigned by the will of the free
municipalities, who stipulated for their ancient
rights and privileges. The Grand Dukes broke
faith with these corporate bodies until the French
Revolution swept them away ; tits provinces of Mo-
dena made part of the kingdom of Italy under the
ffrst Napoleon, and were not dissatisfied ; but after
the fall of that Emperor Modena and its States were
handed over as spoil to an Austrian Prince who
was the son of the late heiress of the house of Este.
The reign of Francisco IV., whose first act was to
abolish the Code Napoleon and all the new regula-
tions, was marked throughout by imprisonments,
deaths, confiscations, and proscriptions in the name
of religion or State policy. The son and successor,
Francesco V., like his father, governed by the aid
of Austrian bayonets, and was the declared enemy
of all change and improvement ; he was carried
away in the storm of 1848, brought back by Aus-
trian soldiers, and promised the people free institu-
tions • but, like his brother of Tuscany, he revoked
his solemn pledges. He fought against Piedmont in
the' War of Independence with the 4,000 volunteers
which the people supplied him with to fight for the
liberties of their common country. At the first re-
port of the defeat of Austria at Montebello he fled,
and took with-him out of the public treasury 690,000
livres, and left the public demands for others to meet.
He took away with him the gold, the silver, and the
jewels of the Crown, the gems and medals of the
museums, the valuable codices and most precious
manuscripts of the libraries. Thus equipped, he
repaired to the Austrian camp—not to fight,
but in time to witness the discomfiture at Sol-
ferino. In the face of Europe it is not
possible that this Prince should be restored
by force from without to the throne he has forsaken
and the people he has wronged. 90,000 votes of the
people, being almost universal suffrage, have closed
the gates of Modena against the House of Este for
ever. •
