PRUSSIA.

According to a Berlin letter, in the Augsburg
Gazette, it was decided during the visit of Prince
Napoleon to the Prussian Court that the Emperor
of the French should be invited to visit Berlin at
the end of the summer.

Prince Napoleon on the 15th, after his return
from the field of battle of Dresden, visited the
treasury, a kind of museum which contains, with
the diamonds of the Crown of Saxony, the different
objects of art and value accumulated for centu, ies
past by the Royal family. This treasury is a pro-
digious depo4tory of vases in gold and precious
stones, rock crystals, mosaics, cameos, enamels,
pearls, and diamonds. The whole collection is of
inestimable value as regards art and archaeology.
In the evening the Prince dined with the Prince
Royal, and after dinner the Princess Royal and the
two Princes went to drink tea with the Dowager
Queen Maria, who resides in a pretty country villa
near Pillnitz. At this family party there were
assembled four sisters, three of whom wear crowns
—the Dowager Queen Maria, the present Queen of
Saxony, the Queen of Prussia, and the Archduchess
Sophia, mother of the Emperor of Austria. On the
16th, being the fete day of the King, the Prince
Napoleon went to Pillnitz to offer his congratula-
tions. The King received the congratulations of
the Court and of high State functionaries. in the
afternoon the King and Queen, the Royal family,
the Queen of Prussia, the Archduchess Sophia,
the Archduke Louis, and Prince Napoleon, went
to the hunting lodge of Moritzburg, where they
dined.

RETURNS.

Several unopposed returns were ordered to be laid on
the table of the house.
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

Mr. WYLD presented the following petition from the
assignees, committee of depositors, and depositors of the
Royal British Bank :--
"That the laws now in force relating to the bankruptcy
and winding-up of joint-stock companies are defective,
most injurious to the interests of creditors, and opposed to
the ordinary principles of bankruptcy in not providing for
the realisation and equal distribution of the separate es-
tates of shareholders, at the instance of assignees, or the
representatives of creditors.
" That such laws are also destructive of the interests of
shareholders in leaving them exposed (however desirous of
contributing fairly towards the debts of the company), to
the consequence and heavy expense of actions by indivi-
dual creditors,

" That it irrexpedient to confer power on the Courts of
Bankruptcy and Chancery to grant protection to the per-
sons and property of shareholders, with the consent of the
assignees or representatives of creditors (to be chosen for
that purpose where there is no bankruptcy), upon such
terms as the Court may think fit.
"That provision should be made to constitute the ceasing
to carry on business by any Joint Stook Company an act
of bankruptcy, in order that adjudication in bankruptcy
might be obtained forthwith, either with the concurrence
m
pally, and that further provisions
ywrtto hitth
of the company,
legislation should be made to
nßankruptcy to make the requisite
ceionaflalaosbrc,lce aoadnrtdhydeearuCsceoelu finally wind up and settle the affairs of a bank-
rupt company.
" That power should also be conferred upon the courts
of Bankruptcy and Chancery, with the consent of the as-
signees or representatives of creditors, and also with the
consent of a certain proportion of the creditors, to sanction
a compromise between any or all of the shareholders and
the creditors, which power would be in accordance with
principles already recognised by the bankrupt laws."
,SAVINGS BANK BILL.

Mr. COLLINS asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, what time he intended to fix for the second read-
ing of the Savings Bank Bill, issued on Saturday, and

SARDINIA.

The Chamber of Deputies at Turin, in its
sitting of the 15th, voted the first article of the
bill for a railway from Varo to the Modenese
frontier, authorising the government to grant the
line to a company.

The Vessillo of Vercelli (Piedmont) announces
from Parma, that the soldiers now in the Parmese
service, who fought and obtained medals of valour
in 1848 under Charles Albert, in the war with
Austiia, have, through the intercession of Cheva-
lier Boncompagni, the Sardinian minister to -Lila
courts of Parma, ilodena, and Florence, obtained
permission to wear them.

MILITARY EXECUTION AT BARRACIPORE.—This
znorn-
ing Mongul Pundy, the sepoy of the 34th Native In-
fantry, who had been tried by a court-martial and found
guilty of mutinous conduct, having wounded the eer-
: geantomajor of his regiment and also the adjutant, Lieut.
Baugh, of the same corps, was hanged on the parade-
ground at Barrackpore soon after gun-tire. The gal-
lows was erected in the centre of the parade-ground,
and the troops were drawn up so as to form three sides
of a square, coterminous:3'. At a givEn signal the plat-
form was withdrawn, and, almost without a struggle,
the misguided man was launched into eternity. The
adjutant and sergeant major are in a fair way of re-
covery.—Calcutta Englishman, of April 8.
PRICE .or GOLD. —The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 6 per mille premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.2 - per I/. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10(l per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
2-10Ths
per cent. dearer in Paris
.than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4202 per
mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4f1 Fln
W. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is
therefore abo it the same value in 'lambic, aid
ii n London. The course of exchange at New YOrk [in
London for bills at 60 days' eiglit is 1091 per cent...
which, when compared with the Mint par between the
two countries, shows that the exchange is about at par.
And after making allowance for charges of transport
and difference of intereat, the present rate Icavec a trifilag
profit on the importation of gold front America.

CONVERSION OF IRON INTO STEEL.—The Abbe Pau-
vert, a French clergyman and Chevalier of the Legion of
Honour, has, it is said, at length solved the problem of
converting English iron into steel. M. Mesuli, acting
on behalf of the abbe, has made experiments in the dock-
yard, Woolwich, during the last week, by authority of
the Government and in the presence of the principal
officers of the Engineer department and other official
personages. He has succeeded in proving to their sati'-
faction that he can. produce steel of very superior qual-
ity from the most ordinary cast and puddled iron, and
pieces of iron in any state, at an extraordinary reduction
in price. M. Pauvert has secured his invention by a
patent from the British Government. The articles of
newly invented steel tested at the dockyard were clipping
tools, e,hisels, taps, dies, and other instruments in gene-
ral use in factories. The conversion of the metal does
not require the slightest 2bange in the arrangements of
the melting furnace, the system being composed of
chemical operations alone. A favourable report was on
Friday for warded to the Admiralty, in consequence of
which it is expected that the steel will be employed in
many of the ordinary purposes for which iron is now
,used, such as piston-rods, springs, &c.

,
PEACE SOME.M—The annual meeting of this society
was held last evening in Finsbury Chapel, Mr. Charles
Hindley, M.P., in the chair. The abstract of the re
port, read by the Rev. Henry Richards, the secretary,
commenced by regretting that after the conclusion of
the war with Russia there should have been hostilities
with Persia and China, and fears of outbreaks of Italy
and America. Lectures had been given and public
meetings held during the past year for the benefit of the
society in London and its suburbs, and in most of the
principal towns in England, Wales, and Scotland. Up-
wards of 600,000 publications, advocating peace prin-
ciples, had been in circulation during the' past year ;
and pamphlets, circulars, bills, and placards, showing
the horrors of war and the blessings of peace, bad also
been circuiated during the recent election in the differeet
shires and boroughs by a separate organisation, formed
for electoral purposes, for which funds had been expressly
raised. The present position of the peace cause was a
source of sorrow and regret to the committee, it being
believed by them that a warlike and unchristian spirit
was abroad, but at the same time it was believed that
the cause must finally triumph, and wars cease from one
end of the world to the other. The official account
showed the total income for the past year to have been
1,538/. ls., and the total expenditure 1,2101. 18s. id.,
leaving a balance in favour of the society. of 3171,

POLAND.

The Gazette Redowa, or official gazette .of the
kinsrd.orn of Poland, publishes the test of the-Im-
perial ukase spoken of ft,r some time past, contain-
ing certain provisions in favour of Polish political
offenders and refugees. Article 1 restores to such
of them as had returned to Poland bef •re the coro-
nation of the present Emperor the rights of nobility or
citizenship they possessed before their judicial con-
deMnation, but their confiscated property is not
restored. Art. 2 extends the same provisions to
those who have been incorpoaated in the army.
Art. 3 extends them to those who had obtained
permission to return to their country before the
promulgation of the ukase of 1856. And 4 admits
those whose conduct has been exemplary to the
right of filing administrative situations. The re-
maining three articles relate to de'ails. None of
these provisions seems to apply to the case of
Polish exiles who have not previously solicited per-
mission to return.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1887

Although we fully concur in one of the princi-
ples, last night enunciated by the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman the member for Sheffield,
viz.—that it is exceedingly desirable that the
British Parliament should " resume the func-
tions which for some time past it had abdicated,
respecting our relations with foreign States"--108
rejoice at the signal failure of his motion for s'
select committeelto inquire into the relations with
respect to Brazil, evidenced by the decisive mai°-
rity of 295—there being only 17 in favour and
312 against his proposition. We are satisfied
that Mr. ROEBUCK would be one of the last men in
the world deliberately or intentionally to stimulate
the abominable traffic in human flesh and
blood. But we are fully convinced that
even temporary success would have had
that effect. It would naturally be re-
garded as a retrograde movement •on the part of
England, a virtual admission that she had
here-
tofore gone too far, and was desirous of relaxing
her exertions, and permitting "unrestricted com-
petition" in African slaves.

DENMARK.

The following is the text of the last note of the
Danish cabinet, in reply to the communications of
Pru-sia and Austria:—

"Now that the ministry is reconstructed, I has-
ten, in contormity with the orders of the King, to
inform you, in order that you may communicate
it to Baron de Manteuffel (or Count de Buol), that
it is his Majesty's intention to convoke without
delay, after the termination of the preliminary la-
bours, the Provincial States of Holstein in extra-
ordinary session, in order to submit to their con-
stitutional examination the revi.ed prject of the
constitution for the special affairs of the duchy of
Holstein. In remarking that the meeting of the
said extraordinary assembly will take place in
the month of August at the latest, I take the
liberty of observing that the proj eot will comprise
enactments destined to decide the special affairs
of the duchy of Holstein, and that in consequence
the a sembly of the Provincial States will have
occasion to pronounce freely and without embar-
rassment on the limits of the power of the
States ; whereas the enactments relative thereto in
the previous project were not subjected to the ex-
amination of the States, but only notified to them.
The King's Government entertains the confident
hope that the courts of Berlin and Vienna will see
in the present communication a manifest proof of
its strong desire to comply with the wishes expressed
by them ; it hopes with no less assurance that the
S ates of the duchy of Holstein will respond to this
measure in a manner which will enable an under-
standing, which is so desirable, to be arrived at.—
Accept, &c., " 0. W. MICHELSEN."

Medium qualities of green, however, were in fair request,
at full rates. For all other qualities quotations are un-
altered.

SUGAR. —Purchasers have exercised extreme caution,
and in most instances rather lower rates are current. In
the refined market business was inactive, and prices ruled
lower. Brown lumps realised 695, and good grocery 69s 61
to 72s per cwt.
COFFEE.—The supplies having been short, business ruled
rather active. Plantation and Native Ceylon realised
slightly improved rates. Other qualities were fewer.
RICE.— No business of any importance has been trans.
acted, and holders do not press sales.
Rum.—The market is inactive, and prices are unaltered.
SPICES.—CIoves and ginger have been in active request,
at improved values, but pimento, pepper, and ntamegs,
have been at easier quotations.
COCHINEAL.—Business has been inactive,iwith:no ma-
terial variation in prices to report.
SALTPETRE.—A very quiet business has been transacted.
Prices have exhibited no change.
TALLOW.—More business has been done, and prices have
improved. P.Y. C., on the spot, is 575. to 575. 6d., and

ITYIVERSITY) IRELAND.

Mr. FAGAN moved for leave to bring in bill for secur-
ing the more effectual promotion of the medical and surgi-
cal sciences in the Queen's University in Ireland, by ena-
bling the ratepayers of the unions of Cork, Belfast, and
Galway to provide for the enlargement and better main-
tenance of certain hospitals in the said cities and town, and
for the further extension of the provisions of the act of ner
present Majesty to end,iw new colleges for the advance-
ment of learning in Ireland.
Mr. GROGAN opposed the bill. It ought not to be
brought forward in the absence of the Secretary for Ire•
land, and as a commission was now engaged in inquiring
into the condition ani state of education in these colleges,
they ought to wait for the report.
Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD had not read the bill, but, as
much interest was excited on the subject in the cities
affected by it, the Government would not oppose its intro-
duction. Before it came on for a second reading the Secre
tart' for Ireland would be in his place.
After a few words from Lord NAAS, the motion was
agreed to.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS.

Viscount RA.YNHA.MI rose to move for a select commit-
tee to inquire into the operation of the act 16 and 17 Vic.,
c. 21, for the punishment of persons convicted of aggravated
assaults on women and children. These offences had in-
creased to such an alarming extent as to be a disgtace to
the country. He believed no arguments would be required
to induce the house to consider the means of preventing
them. Their attention had lately been drawn to social ,
evils, and there were none greater than this. He be•
lieved, and his opinion was shared by many, that the
act now in force did not prevent this crime nor effect
the object for which it was passed. He would not detain
the house by an enumeration of the cases that had lately
be n reported, but only mention one or two of peculiar
enormity. One lately occurred at Horncastle, where a
young female servant in a farm was beaten with the most
horrible cruelty by a man and a boy by the direction of
her mistress. The magistrates before whom the case was
brought expressed the greatest horror at its atrocity, and
only tined the mistress 51., the man 31. 15s. 6d., and the,
boy 1/. ss. There were two ways of looking at this ques-
tion ; and the principal one regarded the punishment, and
whether something could not be devised which would have
a deterring effect Corporal punishment, he thought, was
the best for such a crime; but that point would be for the
decision of the committee, if it was gr toted.

Sir G. GREY said he should be happy to concur in any
measure which would put an end to the crime with which
it was now proposed to deal, and it was with that abject
tkat the act now in operation was passed. He did not see
how an inquiry by a select committee would have a prac-
tical effect. If the noble lord wished for any information
which could be obtained by a return of the number of
offences and convictions under the act, he should be happy
to grant it. But it was impossible to have a return of
those crimes which were committed with impunity before
the 'wising of the act. If there were any cases such as
that alluded to by the noble lord at Horncastle they could
only have occurred from want of due exercise of their dis-
cretion by the magistrates, in whose hands the punishment
was placed. As to the other case at Dawlish, which ended
in the death of a girl, he thought that this was a case of

manslaughter, wlrich could be dealt with by the ordinary
law. He urged that in the present pressure on select corn-

mittees that house would not consent to appoint any more
committees, unless some strong necessity was shown.
Mr. Bentinck, Mr. P. O'Brien, and Lord C. Hamilton
supported the motion, which was opposed by Mr. Clay.
Lord RAYNHAM expressed his regret that the Home
Secretary declined to aid him in this matter.
The house then divided

SERVICE IN THE ARIIY.

Sir J. TRELA.WNY asked the Udder Secretary for
War, with reference to an order of the 10th Jan., 1857,
allowing soldiers made sergcanrs since that date to retain
their previously earned good conduct money, whether it
was the intention of the war authorities that sergeants
created hef ,re the 10th day of January, 1857, and whose
good conduct money ceased under regulations then
in force on their becoming sergeants, should remain in a
worse position than their brother rion-commissioned
officers who, without merit, had served for shorter periods
in the rank of sergeants ?

Sir J. RA.AISbEN said the hon. hart. must mean

the inemorandrim of the 16th, and not the 10th of Jan.
If he referred to it he would find that the allowance was
made to all sergeants now serving, independent of their
date of serving. (Hear.)
