DUBLIN, APRIL 7.

Our market this morninc, was exceedingly dull: Wheat
scarce, at the rates of last week. Oats mulch depressed,
and the turn cheaper. Barley also very dull, at prices in
favour of the buyer. Oatmeal sells in a retail way at last
week's rates. In foreign wheat or Indian corn no trans-
actions reported, but holders would take less homey to
effect sales. Bakers purchase flour to meet their daily.
wants at prices rather under those of Friday.

.HAYMA.RKET THEATRE.

Mr. C. H. Adams' 27th annual series of lectures on
astronomy are now in course of delivery at this theatre.
For the last six-and-twenty years, at this particular
period, these lectures have been looked forward to with
great interest by all the students of this sublime science.
The observations of the talented lecturer were most at-
tentively listened to by a very crowded audience, and at
the termination of the lecture the applause was enthu-
siastic. The diagrams with which the lecture was
profusely illustrated were splendid.

MR. MINABI'S PEN AND INS DRAWINGS.—We have
just inspected another of the truly wonderful pen and ink
sketches of this ingenious artist, whose executive powers
at upwards of 70 years of age are truly surprising. After
a residence of more than 60 years in England, occupied
in the exercise of his pleasing art, and having produced
multitudes of ingenious and tasteful pieces, vying with
the most elaborate productions of the graver, Mr.
Minasi deserves the patronage of the wealthy and the
refined. The drawing before us, " The Morning Rose,"
consists of three nymphs amidst a profusion of ctiptered
white roses. It is in- endeti for a vignette title-page to a
lady's album, and anything more unique and beautiful
we have seldom seen. Any lady of means, and of bene-
volent disposition, may wool be gratified at possessing
one of Mr. Minasi's drawings for her album or port.

Having no sword at band, the Sovereign gently
touched the youth with a pair of embroidery scissors.
"Rise, Sir Tombob, and ask your father to forgive
the plomp wote which has made you his superior. If he
refuse, you shall be sent to Maynoots to finish your
education. So he relents. Then ask him to your mar-
riage with Sara, at Windsor Palace, on Thursday. Ah,
my dear Prince, you are late with the carriage."
Sir Tombob has in every room of his mansion in Pic-
colodilly, in grateful memory of Guild'hall, a statuette
of Gog.

AUSTRIA.

The Oct Deutsche Post of Vienna publishes a
telegraphic despatch from Turin of the 2d, stating
that, according to the Military Gazette of that
capital, which is supposed to receive communica-
tions form the Minister of War, a corps d'arnide of
20,000 men is to bo concentrated at Alessandria, on
the Austrian frontiers. But the Military Gazette
takes care to add that this measure, justified by the
custom of previous years and other requirements of
the service, must not be considered as an act of
provocation. That interpretation is, however, op-
posed by the above Vienna journal, which asserts
that tha establishment of a camp at Alessandria, if
not a menace for Austria, is, at least, a hostile
demonstration which cannot be passed over in
silence.

A letter from Vienna of the 4th, in the Ham-
burg News, says :—" The Count de Paar had a
private aud'ence of the Emperor yesterday. The
information given by the count is said not to be of
a nature to calm down the irritation felt against
Sardinia."—Another letter of the same date, in the
Cologne, Gazette, says :—" Baron de Bourqueney
had an interview with Count de Buol yesterday,
when he (the baron) made known to him the condi-
tions on which France was disposed tai support the
proceedings of Prince Danilo of Montenegro. It is
certain that the Austrian Cabinet has been re-
quested by France to use its influence at Constan-
tinople in favour of the Prince."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

At the same time that the last of the Austrian
battalions are crossing the Carpathians, the com-
missioners of the great powers are proceeding on
their *ay towards Bucharest, where they will be all
soon assembled. A telegraphic despatch of the 4th
from that capital announces the approaching arrival
of Baron de Talleyrand, who had landed that very
morning at Kalarasch. Safet Effendi, Sir H.
Bulwer, and the Chevalier de Beuz;, the Ottoman,
En4lish, and Sardinian commissioners, who had left
Constantinople within a few days of each other,
were expected daily. The Russian commissioner,
M Constantin Bally, was, at the above date at
Vienna, which place ho was to leave at the same
time as the repreentatives of Prussia and Austria.
It is still M. de RichtAfen who is to represent
Prussia. As to the Austrian commissioner, Baron
de Koller, who was recently appointed to the lega-
tion at Berlin, he has been replaced by M. Lich-
MAIM de Palmrode, formerly resident Minister
at Cracow. This grave question of the Princi-
palities is thus provisionally transferred from Paris
and Constantinople to Bucharest and Jaisy, to
return hereafter to the seat of the Conferences,
where it will receive its definitive solution. In a
few days the elections for the composition of the
divans ad hoc will commence, and it is calculated
that this operation will not occupy less than three
or four weeks, particularly if, as is stated from dif-
ferent quarters, the country is preparing to appeal
to the commissioners on the subject of certain irre-
gularities committed by the native government in
the formation of the electoral lists, and al,o against
the interpretation given to certain clauses of the
finnan of convocation. It is therefore thought
scarcely probable that the divans will assemble be-
fore the end of April or beginning of May.

Translated from the German of Dr. t'ICKFORD.
"Dr. Milford 43 hnewn to Engnsh readers by tits frequent praetl
eel contributions to German medical literature. This Is the Orel

and 'Medical Frisnds,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if • this bool:
could find its way into the hands of those whe suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
ha saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of

CHAP. IV.

They are gone, the Scot to the Scotch Stores, the Jew
to his cellar of diamonds, the lord to his House of Lords,
the merchant tc. his Dullwitch or Sydnam. Two figures
only Unger in the ugly Guildhall. Her head reposes on
his bosom, and for a moment they are as still as the sta-
tues around them. The maiden is the first to speak.
" You voted, Tombob, and are ruined."
" I gave a ploc.p. Let ruin come. I voted beside
the father of Sara. We have wen—What am IV'
"A traitor," thut. tiered a third voice.

They coon Fee no one, though the lurid light of an
English sun streamed in upon the Guild'hall in all direc•
tions.

" Coward ! thou that lurkest in darkness, you are a
liar," cried Tombob, uttering with enthusiasm that taunt
cf his nation, " Who are you ? Wilt you box ?"
" Ah! for Heaven's sake, be calm," said Sarah,
"Should the Queen hear you."
"The Queen feasts the citizens at Buckingbam. She
will not be here to day, mignonette. And as for that
evil scoundrel, whom I think-
" Honi soit qui mal y pense," said a silver voice, yet
full of command ; and a figure glided from behind the
statue of Alderman Pickford (who addressed George the
Fourth in an unexpected speech worthy Demosthenes),
and stood before the lovers.

"Her Majesty !" exclaimed both, kneeling.
CHAP. V.

The Queen contemplated her young subjects for a mo-
ment, and then said— _ _

"So, Mr. Tombob, you would defy some onel We
must see to that—eh ? Nemo me im,pune lacessit. But
my silly little maid of honour spoke of ruin. Let us
first see to that. Diem et mon Droit."

"He voted for M. le Baron de Rothschild, your
Majesty."
"So have many thousands," said her Majesty,
smiling.
" But they have not for a father—"
"No Popery," thundered the unseen.
"I know that voice," said the Queen.

Behind the mighty and grotesques image of some
savage warrior, bearing a staff to which hangs a ball of
spikes, a still more tremendous face looked down.
" Mr. Spooner," said the Queen," I am surprised at
you. Come down from Gog, and come here."

POISONING AT DEVONPORT.

A great deal of illness and one death have re-
sulted in Devonport from partaking of food con-
taining some poisonous ingredients, most probably
arsenic. A woman named Fuge, who had been
wahing at the Duke of Cornwall public-house,
Cornwall-street, Devonport, had some slices of
pudding given to her by the landlady. She took
them home, and her husband ate a part of one. In
about half an hour he became sick, and remained
so all night. Next morning the woman toasted the
rest of the pudding, gave small portions of it to her
three children, and ate some herself. They all
became ill shortly after, and one of the children, a
little boy, five years old, died the same evening.
About a week before this, it seems, the family
living at the public-house had all been taken ill
shortly after a dinner of which puddings, similar
to those of which pieces had been given to the
washerwoman, formed a part. At an inquest
which was held on the body of the litttle boy,
Mr. Thomas Crossing, surgeon, was examined,
and described the appearance of the deceased when
he saw him, after he had died. From the appear-
ance of the body he formed the opinion that some
powerful irritant had entered the stomach. He
bad, with the assistance of Mr. James Ryder, of
Morice-town, chemist, analysed a portion of the
contents of the stomach, and was of opinion that
the child had died from the effects of the poison,
and, as he believed, of arsenic. He bad every
reason to believe that the stomach contained arsenic
in considerable quantity. It would be more satis-
factory, and would enable him to form a more positive
opinion as to thepreciso nature Of the poison, whe-
ther arsenic or otherwise, could he have the op-
portunity of submitting the contents of the stomach
and intestines to further chemical examination.
The inquest was adjourned until Monday, when
Messrs. Crossing, Reed, Slogget, and Mr. Ryder,
chemist, were examined, and stat ad that in the
pudding and in the body_of the deceased they had
detected a large quantity of arsenic. The inquest
was then again adjourned until yesterday (Tues-
day), when Mr. Laity, surgeon, and a number of
other witnesses, gave evidence in corroboration of
the facts adduced on the previous examinations.
The inquest was then further adjourned until Mon-
day, the 2llth instant, to allow time for further in-
quiry.

POISONING AT DEVONPORT.

A great deal of illness and one death have re-
sulted in Devonport from partaking of food con-
taining some poisonous ingredients, most probably
arsenic. A woman named Fuge, who' had been
washing at the Duke of Cornwall public-house,
Cornwall-street, Devonport, had some slices of
pudding given to her by the lsndlady. She took
them home, and her husband ate,a part of one. In
about half an hour he became sick, and remained
so all night. Next morning the woman toasted the
rest of the pudding, gave small portions of it to her
three children, and ate some herself. They all
became ill shortly after, and one of the children, a
little boy, five years old, died the same evening.
About a week before this, it seems, the family
living at the public-house had all been taken ill
shortly after a dinner of which puddings, similar
to those of which pieces had been given to the
washerwoman, formed a part. At an inquest
which was held on the body of the litttle boy,
Mr. Thomas Crossing, surgeon, was examined,
and described the appearance of the deceased when
he saw him, after he had died. From the appear-
ance of the body he formed the opinion that some
powerful irritant had entered the stomach. He
had, with the assistance' of Mr. James Ryder, o:
Morice-town, chemist, analysed a portion of the
contents of the stomach, and was of opinion that
the child had died from the effects of the poison,
and, as he believed, of arsenic. He had every
reason to believe that the stomach contained arsenic
in considerable quantity. It would be more satis-
factory, and would enable him to form a morepositive
opinion as to theprecise nature of the poison, whe-
ther arsenic or otherwise, could he have the op-
portunity of submitting the contents of the stomach
and intestines to further chemical examination.
The inquest was adjourned until Monday, when
Messrs. Crossing, Reed, Slog.geti and Mr. Ryder,
chemist, were examined, and stated that in the
pudding and in the body of the deceased they had
detect ad a large quantity of arsenic. The inquest
was then again adjourned until yesterday (Tues-
day), when Mc. Laity, surgeon, and a number of
other witnesses, gave evidence in corroboration of
the facts adduced on the previous examinations.
The inquest was then further adjourned until Mon-
day, the 20th instant, to allow time for further in-
quiry.

steamer, 260 horse-power, 4 transports, 1 brig, 2
&loaners, two tenders, and 6 smaller craft. The
4 transports are already afloat, and are engaged in
conveying provisions and equipments. The Cher-

launched again in spring. Besides these vessels,
the Government has six sailing transports and some
steamers of from 60 to 100 horse power. It has
but lately bought 5 screw schooners, which are to

Since the late disturbanc(s in Belgium, rumours
were current that the Government hafl received
private intelligence that an outbreak of a more
serious character was in contemplation, and that
in order to prevent it 20,000 men wore to be called

out immediately and kept permanently under arms.
This tumour app,an quite unfounded, as the fol-
lowing notice in the Belgian Monitear proves that
the measure of calling out troops is quite of a tem-
porary charac'er. The official
.journal says :
" The disturbances which have taken place in
several parts of the country have imposed on the
Government the duty of calling out from the 29th
May two classes of militia. These troops will re-
turn to their homes as soon as calm shall be re-
established. The Government proposes to send
the troops lately brought to the capital back to
their-respective garrisons immediately."

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton

fttket yesterday closed with more activity, and
j°°d speculative demand was experienced, at the
Prices of last week. The sales were 6,000
411,8)e 1,000 of which were taken for export, and
Riairt number on speculation. The Railway Share
i.ket eolltinUed to improve, and closed firmly, at
iqht advance on Tuesday's rates.
During the month of April the amount of divi-
lids Paid on English Mining Shares was 49,8401.
The
the
market for silver is now very quiet, and duri n g
epnext few days business will no doubt continue

1, !tilers. for India and China leave Southampton.
1;4 Stated as a reason why the shipments by the
4118 were not larger, that s3veral boxes of specie
mded for exportw ere left behind, and the re-
tetanues by the next steamer are expected to be
6? heavy in consequence. The quantity of silver
pre'llglit by the Parana, together with the amount
20t, vi °usly on hand will be almost sufficient for the
") Bo that very few purchases are likely to be
bilia',e on the Continent. There is some proba-
golitY, therefore, of a moderate proportion of the
