A letter from Vienna of the 15th, in the Nord, says :
—" The Emperor and Empress appeared the day be-
fore yesterday for the first time since their return at the
theatre of Hofburg, and were received with the warmest
acclamations. Wonderful stories are related here of
the visit which their Majesties made, in returning
from Italy, to the cel 3brated grottos of Adelsberg.
The interior of this vast subterranean labyrinth,
even to its most distant passages, was illuminated by
16,000 torches and Bengal lights. The entrance
to the grotto was ornamented with a transparency
bearing the following inscription :—'The love of their
subjects accompanies sovereigns further than the rays of
the sun.' A military band awakened the echoes of the
.cavern. In the part of the grotto called the ' Ball-
room,' were ranged 50 couples of peasants of the Ca:•
niola in their national costume. The august visitors
remained in the grotto two hours.

articles belonging to the prosecutor, and which he
had on when sta!;bed.
Mr. Long (to Prosecutor)—You have something
to add t the evidence which you have already
given, I believe.
Prosecutor (after examining 'he things produced
by the serjeant)—This scarf, which went four times
round my neck, was cut through, and there are
three cuts through my coat collar. There is another
cut under the left arm, and also one through the
sleeve, which caused a deep wound. •
ith
The coat and scarf were completely covered With
blood, and the folds of the scarf bad been so satu-
rated as to be quite matted together. They were
shown to the magistrate.
Mr. Long (to Serjeant Webb)—You have afr
eeh
witness, have you not ?
Webb—Yes, sir.
Mr. Long—Let him stand up.
Mr. David Myers was then sworn. •
Mr. Long—What are you ?
Witness—A butcher.
Mr. Long—Where do you reside ?
Witness—ln Middlesex-street, WhitechaPel•
Mr. Long—Do you know anything of the
soner ?
Witness—Yes sir; he has been in my ser,igirdi
He was with me twelve or fifteen months, and
ad
pie on the 27th of August last. I thought he
gone to Australia.

Mr. Long—While in your employ what iras

which he now is.
Mr. Long—Does any one here know what he lisa;

Sergeant Webb—From inquiries which h
made, your worship, I believe he has been
sionally working as a labourer at the docks.
Mr. Long—Have you any more evidence to

Witness—No sir. I thought I should have 13.1

as
bought, and to have had the prisoner identified

Mr. Long—lf you can get up such evidence I°u
can bring it forward at the trial. 0
The chief clerk having read over the whole f
depositions, the prisoner, after being cautioned to
the usual manner, replied that he had nothing
say.
Mr. Long told him that it was his duty t 0,,, inseo,l
him for trial upon the charge of stabbing Von -00

FRANCE.

PARIS, THIRSDAY EVMTINQ•
Changes are spoken of as likely to take place
among the upper classes of the magistracy ; such as
the retirement of M. Troplong from the PFesidency
of the Court of Cassation, and M. Delangle to suc-
ceed him. The destination which rumour again
gives to M. Troplong is that of Arch-Chancellor of
the Empire. M. de Royer, Procure ur-General of
the Court of Caseation, would under such circum-
stances be named First President of the Court of
Appeal.

it is also said that M. Roulaud, Minister of Pub-
lic Instruction, is likely to be transferred to the
Home Department, and that M. Vaisse, now Pro-
cureur-General at the Court of Paris, will take the
Department of Public instruction.
The Paris papers have been directed to discon-
tinue the discussion on the civil war in the Vendee,
in the great Revolution. That discussion was occa-
sioned by the funeral sermon of the Bishop of
Poitiers on the Marchioness de Larochejacquelein,
who died a week or two ago, and who, as every
one knows, played a distinguished part during
that struggle, and afterwards wrote a most interest-
ing history of it. The Bishop of Poitiers seemed
to regard all those who fell in that war as martyrs
to the cause of religion and legitimacy. The SQcle
made some angry comments on the discourse ; it
was replied to by the Univers and Union ; the
Sidcle rejoined ; and the dispute soon waxed warm.
The question was about to enter into a new phase,
when the authorities stepped in, and separated the
combatants.

The Mon iteur has a number of promotions in
the Legion of Honour, and bestowals of the military
medal.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

LAMBETH.

Last night Mr. Wilkinson met the electors at
Flawkstone-hall. The hon. gentleman gave a short
summary of his public conduct during the period
he has h)d the 11,,nour of representing the borough,
triumphantly vindicating every vote he gave, and
proving that it Was for the public interest, and in
w;cord3nce with the opinion of the great majority
of the electors of Llmbeth. The hon. gentleman
e'pecially dwelt upon the importance of upholding
the national flag against all comers, referring at the
,same time to the disgraceful coalition by the peace-
at-any-price party and the place hunters in their
attempt to overthrow the Government of Lord Pal-
merston upon the Chinese question. A resolution,
approving of Mr. Wilkinson, 'and pledging the
meeting to use every exertion to secure his return,
was carried amid vociferous cheering. A vote of
thanks concluded the proceedings. Judging from
the unanimity of the meeting, Mr. Wilkinson's re-
turn is placed beyond a doubt.

THE LEATHER TRADE IN AMERICA.

Hides and leather have lately gone up to a higher
figure than at any previous time within the me-
tnory of our oldest boot-wearers. Buenos Ayres
hides, the best quality in market, now sell for 34i
cents per lb., while last June the price was 23
cents. This is a rise of fully GO per cent. in eight
months, though the present supply is not less than
usual at this season of the year. There has been a
gradual advance in the price of hides since 1849,
when the best quality could be bought for 8 to 9
cents. But, fortunately for the public, the price
of boots and shoes has not nearly kept pace with
the late rise of leather. To most persons it will
seem natural that a material change of price in the
raw material should be speedily followed by a cor-
responding change in the market value of its pro-
ducts. But with leather this rule appears to be
an exception ; and, though our boetmakers have
slightly advanced their scale of prices, it is
probable that bides will come down before the ea-
terprising manufacturers of Lynn and Natick can
screw the public up to pay much more than they do
at present. It is said that a good many of the boot
and shoe retailers in Bcston andvicinity have already
failed, as they cannot get remunerative prices from
their custimers. Our large leather firms, in Ferry-
street and its vicinity, are doing a good business,
notwithstanding present prices. Not a single failure
has occurred among them during the past eight
ears.—New York Times.

Tfie _Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the object of the
trustees throughout had been to give the pnbltc, as soon
as p msible, the full benefit of the instruction and plea-
sure to be derived from the bequest. In providing for
that, however, it was discovered that though Mr. Turner
cou'ddraw heavenly pictures, there was one thing he
coul l not draw, and that was his will ; and the conse-
quer:cc had been that it was found most advisable for all
parties that a compromise should be entered into, which
was accordingly done, with the full consent of Mr.
Turner's executors. He could say, on the part of the
Gov-ran:lent, that they would be prepared to carry out
Mr. Turner's intentions by e,tablishing a gallery where
the pictures in question might be seen to advantage,
and where they could be studied and admired.
Their lordships then adjourned.

ATBOCIOUb 111-URDE,'?.

On Wednesday night last a most alroeious mur-
der was committed at the house of a labouring
man, named Edwards, living at 21, Bedford row,
Maidstone, on the way to Penenden-helth. The
unfortunate deceased was the eldest son of Edwards,
and, with his brothers, lived in the same house
with his parents. The Edwards family consisted
of the father, mother, and 3 st-ms—viz.,
who was murdered, George, the criminal, and a
younger son, named William. Thomas and George,
who slept together, were not upon the best of terms,
the former, who was an industrious, bard-vca-kiog
man, aged 24, having occasion to find fault with
George, aged 18, who, having done no work for
some months, was a complete burden to Vie family.
Hence a feeling of ill-will towards his brother was
engendered in the mind of George, and this doubt-
less led to the fearful occurrence. On Wednesday
morning, before going to his work, Thomas attain
expostulated with George upon his idle conduct,
the latter replying, with an oath, that he didn't
mean to work. Thomas returned home in the even-
ing, and soon after nine o'clock went to Led. As
before stated, he slept in the same room with George.
The mother, shortly after tea, went up stairs,
and before going into her owns room, she, according
to her invariable practice, went into her sous' bed-
room, when she sa w that Thomas was fast asleep.
She soon afterwards heard George, whom she had
left below, come up stairs and enter the bed-oom,
closing.the door after him. After going down stairs
to make sure that all was properly fastened, she re-
turned to herbed and went to sleep. She was after-
wards aroused by hearing a heavy moaning noise,
apparently proceeding from her sons' room. She
procured a light and entered the room, when she
was horrified by seeing her son Thomas lying in
the bed in a state of insensibility, with the
blood streaming from no less than five severe
wounds—two upon the head, two across the lower
jaw, which was smashed, and nearly severed from
the face, and one a slight wound in the throat.
The window of the bedrJoin was open, and George
was gone. The candle she had left down stairs
was burning on the table. She gave an imme-
diate alarm, and the active superintendent of the
Lorough police, Mr. Blundell, and Inspector Fan-
cett were quickly on the spo', as was also Mr.
Saunders, surgeon to the police force, and every
posqlile remedy was put in use, but there was
from the first not the slightest hope of ie:overy.
George had got clear off—his mode of escape being
through the window, as was evident from the fact
that flower-pot underneath thewindowwas smash-
ed 15 pieces. The unfortunate young man died
shortly after seven o'clock on Thursday morning.
The wounds had evidently been inflicted by some
heavy sharp instrument, and the officers found
under tlu3 bed a broad catpenters' axe, covered
with blood ; the axe was hidden in some sags. Mrs.
Edwards had used the instrument that same night
at 10. o'clock. The murderer has not yet been ap-
prehended, but the police ari nu his track.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 15th says :—" It is
confirmed that Count de Paar, the Austrian charge
d'affaires at Turin, has been recalled, and it is said
that he is to be sent to Berne." The same letter
says that, now that the Danube, steam-frigate, has
been launched, orders for the construction of two
ships-of-the-line, each of 90 guns and 800 horse-
power, are about to be given. One ship-of-the-
line, the Emperor ; a frigate, and two corvettes,
are already in construction. Since 1855, it rays,
four steam-frigates, each of 31 guns and 300 horse-
power, have been added to the Austrian navy.

THE DANUBE.
A letter from Galatz of the 4th confirms Unbar-
rival of Omer Bey with 150 men at Sulina, and the
fact of his havinc, taken possession of that town
and of the Delta of the Danube. The Austrians in
Sulina had received orders to depart, but as these
instructions arrived some days after the entry of
the Turks, the arrival of Omer Bey had excited
much astonishment amongst the Austrian officers.

i DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL T. WHINYATES.
We regret to announce the death of Rear-Admiral
Thomas Whinyates, which mournful !event occurred at
his residence, No. 10, North-place, Cheltenham, on the
15th instant, is the 79th year of his age. Rear-Admiral
Vf hinyates entered the navy in 1793, and served as mid-
shipman of the Veteran, commanding a boat at the cap-
ture of the French frigate Bienvenue, and was present
at the storming of Fort Royal, Martinique, in 1794; of
the Robust, in Bridport's action in 1795 and in War-
ren's action in Donegal Bly in 1798. kie obtained his
first commission Sept. 7, 1799, and was promote 1 to the
rank of commander, Illay 16, 1805. After having far
some time commanded the Zebra, bomb, be was ap-
pointed, in March, 1807, to the Frolic, a new brig of
384 tons, mounting 16 32-pounder carronades and two
long sixes, in which west! he proceeded iu the course of
the same year to the West Indies. • On October 1t,1812,
while on his passage home in convoy he fell in with, and
at the end of an action of 50 minutes was captured
by the United States' sloop
of war Wasp, Captain
Jacob Jones, measuring 434 tons, and armed with
16 32-pounder carrcnade and two brass long 12-pounders,
exclusive of 2 brass 4-Pounders. The Frolic before the
contest had been severely damaged in a gale. Her crew,
debilitated in health, consisted of 92 men (including one
passenger, an invalided soldier) and 18 boys; while the
crew of the Wasp amounted to as many as 135 able-
bodied men.and 3 boys. The British in the action sus-
tained a loss of 15 seamen and marines killed, and their
commander, two lieutenants (one of them mortally), the
master (mortally), and 43 seamen and marines wounded;
the Americans of 8 killed and about the same number
wounded. On the same day the Wasp was herself
captured and the Frolic retaken by the Poictiers, 74,
Captain John Poo Beresfcrd, who allowed Captain
Whinyates (so " decidedly gallant" did he esteem the
conduct he had displayed) to Continue in command of
his brig until he reached Bermuda. The court martial
which assembled afterwards to try him declared that he
had done a'l that could be done in her defence, and most
honourably acquitted him. He was advanced to post-
rank by a commission healing date Aug. 12, 1812 ; and
was placed on the list of retired rear-admirals October 1,
1846.

of his pictures to the nation. The noble lord, in his

tales e ef the late distinguished artist, and complained
of tlis manner in which the noble bequest had been
tres.',d by the Government,. The country was in no
dancer of losing the bequest, but there was great reason
to fear that Mr. Turner's intentions might b,) altogether
disreprdel Having explained the provisions of the
will, the noble anti learned loci comp'ained that the
true .?es had not taken steps to perform the conditions
on hich the pictures, which were valued at 150,0001.,

so it portant a beque,.t might be made available for the

THE LEATHER TRADE IN AMERICA.

Hides and leather have lately gone up to a higher
fi4ure than at any previous time within the me-
mory of our oldest boot-wearers. Buenos Ayres
hides, the hest quality in market, now sell for 341
cents I,er lb., 'while last June the price was 23
cents. This is a rise of fully 60 per cent. in eight
m-nths, though the present supply is not less than
usual at this season of the year. There has been a
gradual advance in the price of hides since 1849,
when the best quality could be bought for 8 to 9
cents. But, fortunately for the public, the price
of boots and shoes has not nearly kept pace with
the late rise of leather. To most persons it will
seem natural that a material change of prise in the
law material should be speedily followed by a cor-
responding change in the market value of its pro-
ducts. But with leather this rule appears to be
an exception ; and, though our bootinakers have
slightly advanced their scale of price;, it is

pr vac-b that s will couie down Isefore the ea-
,
terprising manufacturers of Lynn and Natick can
screw the public up to pay much more than they do
at present. It is said that a good m,ny of the boot
and shoe retailers in 13,,5t0n aild vicinity have already
fdled, as they cannot get remunerative prices from
their cut .met s. Our large le tater firms, in Ferry-
