*hat the rtiCtirlitge had Wit taken plaet
as she had siid she would not have him at all.
Mr. Mclntyre iii replying on the whole case, said
the " reasonable time !night wry well be Fail to
be the time before the child was born ; but the de-
fendant knew that the license would expire in three
months, and that surely was a reasorkble time,
The defendant had never Paid a word about the
dowry until after she was effectually in his power,
and he believed he could impose any condi!ions he
pleased.
The learned judge then summed up. He said
the-jury would consider whether the defendant had
insisted upon a dowry as a good excuse to evade an
engagement which he was bound in law, honour;
and morality to fulfil ; or whether the plaintiff had
taken advantage ot. the position in which they were
placed, and endeavoured to extort money from the
defendant rather than marry him. If they found
for the plaintiff, they would ot course look at the
fall which she had incurred by her intimacy with
the defendant, and give her damages.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff-7-
damagei 1001.
The plaintiff and defendant were both in court
during the trial.

SOUTHWARK.

SCALDING A LA man named Savoury. was
charged before Mr. Burcham, the sitting magistrate,
with committing a violent assault on his wife.
From the evidence of the wife it appeared that on the
previous day they had both been drinking and soon after
commenced quarrelling, in the course of which the pri-
soner seized a kettle of boiling water, and threw some of
it on her. She hoped the magistrate would only bind
him over to keep the peace, as he was a most sober man
when he was at work. They were both as bad as the

other.
Mr. Burcham sentenced the prisoner to two months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

SCENE IN A CIIIIRCH.—On Sunday last, the spectacle
was witnessed in Arnesby church of a whole congregation
simultaneously rising and leaving in the middle of
divine service. The usual congregation bad assembled
in the morning, when Mr. Chapman, the vicar, entered
the desk and began to read. The churchwarden then
stopped forward and protested against his going on with
T
the service. A few words ensued, Mr. Ci.apman daring
his interrupter to remove bim. he latter then turned
and left the church, followed by his brother churchwarden
and those who bad assembled. There was no sermon.
In the evening the same scene occurred,
with this
difference, that there was no interruption, the congrega-
tion remaining until prayers were ended. As soon,
however, as Mr. Chapman had given out the text, the
whole congregation rose with one accord, and left the
church. Mr. Chapman then closed his book, and
abruptly left the pulpit,--Eastern Counties Reread.

ITALY.

TURIN, July 13.—The Senate proceeded to-day
to the consideration of the bill for a new conven-
tion between the Government and the Savoy Rail-
way Company, including the project for tunnelling
the Mont Cenis.

The late Mazzintan attempts naturally form the
staple of all discussions on Italian politics at pre-
sent ; and it is really curious and amusing to see
the efforts of certain Absolutist journals—German,
Russian, French, and Italian--to cast the Oltil3
on the Sardinian Government, whereby they gene-
rally succeed in proving so much that they end by
making themselves supremely ridiculous. Accord-
ing to these critics, the Sardinian Government is ill-
informed by its secret agents, badly served by it 3
police, and is itself wanting in the essential quali-
ties of caution and prudence. If it had not
been for the warnings of the French police
the train of the plot would never have been
discovered, and, even as it was, the town of
Genoa was only saved from destruction by ac-
cident, and not in any degree owing to the
vigilance of the authorities, who were lost in a
dream of fancied security. All this, they say, is
the consequence of constitutional government, and
therefore, . of course, they infer that constitu-
tionalism is a perpetual source of disquietude to
the neighbouring Governments, and ought forth-
with to be rooted out.

A Berlin letter, in the Dresden, Gazette, says :
" The new Russian tariff will have a much greater
influAice on our trade than was expected. A proof
of it was vi.yible at the late fair at Frankfort, where
Berlin cotton goods were bought up with extraor-
dinary rapidity."

---
Accounts from Berlin states that the reply of
Prussia, to the last Danish note is dated the 6th,
and that it promises to remain passive until after
the meeting of the States of Holstein. The answer
of Austria bears the same date, and is to the same
effect.

Intelligence from Florence states that the Pope
is expected to arrive in that city on the 15th Aug.
to celebrate the religious services of the Assump-
tion, and to return the visit which the Grand Duke
of Tuscany made hint at Bologna•

The British Museum Di, we understand, soon to be
enriched by a new collection of antiquities. These, the
fruit of the researches instituted at Budrun, the ancient
Halicarnassus, by Mr. C. Newton, ber Maje,ty's Con-
sul at Mitylene, have already left Malta in the steamer
Gorgon, and are expected to arrive in this country in a
few days. They all belong to the renewed sepulchre of
King Mausolus ; many slabs from which, found worked
into the walls of the modern town of Budrun, have been
already for some years in the national collection. They
will for the present be placed in one of the twegient-
rooms of the Museum.—Literary Gazette,
London, England, 1857-07-20

THE MUTINEERS AT. UMB ALLAH.

The following is an extract from a letter, dated
Ermballa,t, May 14, written by Mr. Evans, the
gentleman who, having been made the scapegoat of
the practical jokers at Canterbury, has most credit-
ably redeemed his position in the army, and was
appointed to the 9th Lancers on the recommenda-
tion of Sir W. Williams for his good services
at Erzeroum :—" Perhaps this may give you the
first intelligence of the disturbance in this part of
India, which is now in a very unsettled state. Since
Thursday, Aprill6, we have had incendiary fires of
frequent occurrence, without being able to find out
the perpetrators. On the 16th a barrack and a hos-
pital were burnt down, and since that almost every
night up to last Sunday some building has been set
on fire. The bungalows, being low thatched build-
ings, are easily set on fire, which it is impossible to
extinguish in a place so sadly supplied with water
as this station. The native troops for some time
have been showing a discontented spirit, without
breaking out into open mutiny. There are
here two native infantry regiments, the sth and
6)th, and one regiment of native cavalry—viz., the
4th Light, besides some Irregulars ; and we have
only one regiment of Europeans—viz., the 9th
Royal Lancers and two troops of horse artillery.
Last Sunday, atter we had returned from church
and had just finished our breakfast, at about 10
a m., the alarm sounded for the regiment to turn
out. The men were lying in the barracks un-
dressed, and many of them asleep, but in an
almost incredibly short time they were all on parade
and mounted and fully equipped ; the artillery
were ready nearly as soon. • When on the parade
ground we found that the 60th Native Infantry had
mutinied and turned out with their arms, but we
could not go down because they had their officers
prisoners and threatened to shoot them if we
came down but that if we did not they would re-
turn quietly. If our men had had the chance to go
in at them, they would have made short work of
them, they are so enraged at having had so much
nightwork lately in consequence of the fires, which
are all attributed to the sepeys. They (i.e., our
men) cnly get about two nights a week in bed. At
twelve o'clock, noon, we were turned out again
in consequence of the sth Native Infantry having
turned out ; but we were again disappointed. They
appeared to think us too attentive, and returned
to their barracks. Forthe last two nights the wives
of married officers are sent down to the canteen for
better security. -An officer remains at the main
guardall night, and an Artillery officer with the guns
which are loaded, and ammunition is served out to
the men. Two patrols go out every hour,
and all is alert. Yesterday three companies of the
75th (Her Majesty's) marched in from Kusssowlee.
They started at noon on Tuesday, and arrived at
about 2 p.m. yesterday (Wednesday). The dis-
tance is 48 miles, a wonderful march under an
Indian sun, when the thermometer was 92 to 94
degrees in the shade. They had not a single
straggler."

supporters, having arrived on the hustings, the

Mr. Thackeray was received with great applause.
In a short but pithy address, the gifted gentleman
addressed the elec'ors ; if he were teturued to Par-

any kind, and that he should support the measures
he thought best calcuiated to promote the happi-

forward. The present state of their representation
absolutely called for the ballot—(l0ml cheers) and
any measure to reform, not contsiuing a provision

the spiritual, social, and physical condition of their brethren in this
poor and neglected district, in the extreme East of London. The
Bishop is to select the Clergy.

ITALY.

TURIN, July 13.—The Senate proceeded to-day
to the consideration of the bill for a new conven-
tion between the Government and the Savoy Rail-
way Company, including the project for tunnelling
the Mont Cenis.
The late Mazzinian attempts naturally form the
staple of all discussions on Italian politics at pre-
sent ; and it is really curious and amusing to see
the efforts of certain Absolutist journals—German,
Russian, French, and Italian—to cast the onus
on the Sardinian Government, whereby they gene-
rally succeed in proving so much that they end by,
making themselves supremely ridiculous. Accord-
ing to these critics, the Sardinian Government is ill-
informed by its secret agents, badly served by its
police, and is itself wanting in the essential quali-
ties of caution and prudence. If it had not
been for the warnings of the French police
the train of the plot would never have been
discovered, and, even as it was, the town of
Genoa was only saved from destruction by ac-
cident, and not in any degree owing to the
vigilance of the authoritie3, whe were lost in a
dream of fancied security. All this, they say, is
the consequence of constitutional government, and
therefore, of course, they infer that constitu-
tionalism is a perpetual source of disquietude to
the neighbouring Governments, and ought forth-
with to be rooted out.

A Berlin letter, in the Dresden, Gazette, says :
" lhe new Russian tariff will have a much greater
influence on our trade than was expected. A proof
of it was visible at the late fair at Frankfort, where
Berlin cotton goods were bought up with extraor-
dinary rapidity."

Accounts from Beilin states that the reply of
Prussia to the last Danish note is dated the 6th,
and that it promises to remain passive until after
the meeting of the States of Holstein. The answer
of Austria bears the same date, and is to the same
effect.

Intelligence from Florence states that the Pope
is expected to arrive in that city on the 15th Aug.
to celebrate the religious services of the Assump-
tion, and to return the visit which the Grand Duke
of Tuscanyl made him at Bologna.

The British Museum is, we understand, soon to be
enriched by a new collection of antiquities. These, the
fruit of the researches instituted at Budrun, the ancient
Halicarnassus, by Mr. C. Newton, her Majesty's Con-
sul at Mitylene, have already left Malta in the steamer
Gorgon, and are expected to arrive in this country in a
few days. They all belong to the reno wed sepulchre of
King Mausolus ; many slabs from which, found worked
into the walls of the modern town of Budrun, have been
already for some years in the national collection. They
will for the present be placed in one of the basement-
rooms of the Museum.—Literary auzetle.

SCALDING A WIFE. —A. man named Savoury was
charged before Mr. Burcham, the sitting magistrate,
with committing a violent assault on his wife.
From the evidence of the wife it appeared that on the
previous day they had both been drinking and soon after
commenced quarrelling, in the course of which the pri-
soner seized a kettle of boiling water, and threw some of
it on her. She hoped the magistrate would only bind
him over to keep the pe%ce, as he was a most sober man
when be was at work. The one was as bad as the other.
Mr. Burcham sentenced the prisoner to two months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
