A imahly, on the 9tb, the Colonial Treasurer brought
forward the Estimates. It appears, from the hon. mem-
ber's statement, that the revenue for 1856, which was
estimated to produce 368,5421 , will not realise more than
260,0001. The expenditure of the colony was set down at
310,9371. ; and the Colonial Treasurer, in the course
of his statement, asserted that the finances of Tasmania
were never in so bad a state. Mr. Maxwell Miller has
given notice that he will introduce a bill prohibiting
any person engaged in mercantile affairs from holding
the office of Colonial Treasurer."

AUSTRIA.

His Excellency Field-Marshal Count Rad.elzky,
on retiring from the military government of Lom-
bardy, issued on the Ist inst. the following order
of the day :
I have schinissively prayed hts Majesty, our most
gracious Emperor and Lord, to permit me retiring from
affairs at a period of life extending beyond ninety years,
and his Majesty, in his inexhaustible favour towards me,
has deigned to transmit to me the following most gra-
cious autograph communication.
[Here folows the Emperor's letter, which we pub-
lished a few days ago.]
Soldiers, I bid you no farewell, for I shall remain
amongst you.
I leave to more youthful strength the arduous duty of
forming and training you, so as to enable me again to
show at the decisive moment, should the voice of our be-
loved monarch summon me peradventure again, that the
sword which I have borne for 72 years, and on many a
battle field, remains still firm in my grasp.
But I must thank you for your confidence, your at-
tachiment to my person, your discipline, your devoted-
ness and valour, that have led us on to so many vic-
tor:es, gaining the admiration and esteem of the world.
'Willingly do I repeat, what I said to you at the end of
the year 184.9, that the glory, which, like the evening
gl3vr after a fine day is shed over the evening of my
life, is your work. To your courage do I owe what I
have done; your military virtues wove for me the crown
that now adorns my hoary head, by the supreme favour
of our exalted Emperor and Commander-in-Chief.
Rec Ave my thanks for this, soldiers Keep this in
constant remembrance, and you will, I am convinced,
preserve the rights of your Emperor, and the honour of
your arms unto death.
Long live our beloved Emperor, Francis Joseph

wards, the eyes and nose being first affected, then the
throat, afterwards the gullet and stomach suffer, caus-
ing quinsey, qualmishness, and indigestion, for, as it
leaves the upper part, it increases in severity in the
lower; but Holloway's Pills invariably effect a cure in
the course of a few days.—Sold by all medicine vendors

British Legation have suffered severe persecution, have
had fifty schools suppressed, the teaching of the English
language prohibited, and people ordered, on pain of fin.
prisonment or the bastinado, not to enter their own
churches I"
Mr. V. SMITH said that instructions bad been sent

Christians, and as soon as peace wag ratified with Persia
representations would be made to the Persian Govern-
ment relative to their position.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said

that the abstract of the army accounts had been pre-
sented, and the detailed accounts would shortly be laid
on the table. The time had not yet arrived for present-
ing the detailed army estimates, but he hoped the de-
tailed accounts would be laid on the table of the house
on Tuesday next.

THE DANISH TRANSIT DUES.
Mr. G. DUNDAS asked the Secretary to the Trea-
sury if it was the intention of the Government, in nego-
tiating the settlement of the Sound dues, to stipulate for
the settlement of th• Danish transit dues on the same
basis?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that negotiations bad been entered into with Denmark
for the remission of the Sound dues, by the principal
powers, viz., Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain,
Hanover, the Netherlands, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Swe-
den, Norway, and the Hanse Towns. These nevtiations,
he expected, would be completed soon, and with them the
reduction of the transit dues. He was unable to say
what would be the precise amount of the latter, but he
thought tlie remission would be about four-fifths of th©
present anfOunt. (Hear, hear.)

LONViON, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1857

The enthusiasm in favour of the Government
is spreading. The constituencies, one after
another, are in the majority of instances express-
ing their emphatic disapproval of the course re-
cenCy pursued by the Opposition. That course,
to sly the least of it, appears viewing the mat-
ter as a mere question of Party Tactics—really
and truly appears to have been sa
mistake, a
blunder, a "slip" of the judgment, on the part
of the antagonists of the Administration. Its
immediate result—so different from what the
majority of 263 must have anticipated—proves it
incontrovertibly to have been a movement on the
part of its promoters decidedly impolitic, inju-
dicious, and ill-considered. It has literally, in
point of fact, created for the Ministry (what they
must otherwise have lacked) a Good Cry upon
which to go to the country. It has resuscitated, or
rather rejuvinated, the prestige of Lord PALMER-
STON—a prestige latterly somewhat obscured
under the darkening influence of the Paris Con-
ferences—the prestige, we mean, of the Noble

POLICE INI'ELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN INVETERATE THlEF.—Hannah Jackson, an ill-
looking, middle-aged woman, who has been repeatedly
charged at this court with robbery, was brought before
Mr. B?adon, charged with stealing a flannel petticoat
and four towel, the property of the treasurer of the
county of Middlesex. She was further charged with
stealing two pocket handkerchiefs, belonging to two
prisoners at present under remand in the House of De-
tention, Clerkenwell.
Hannah Wood stated that stie was one of the recep-
tion-warders at the House of Detei•tian, and that the
prisoner was an inmate of that place, having been
remanded from this court by his Worship on a charge of
felony. The prisoner was employed in the laundry,
and on Monday last, just before she was put into the
prison van, for the purpose of being conveyed to the
police.caurt, she was searched, as is the usual custom, by
witness, and a flannel petticoat, four towels, and two
pocket-handkerchiefs, the former belonging to the
county, and the latter to two of the piisoners, were found
upon her. On being taxed with the theft, she admitted
taking the towel 4, but tie other articles, she stoutly
maintained, were her own. This was totally untrue, as
the prisoner only the day previous had asked the matron
for an old petticoat to keep her warm, Witness then
took her before the authorities at the prison, who
directed her to be brought here for punishment.
The prisoner pleaded guily to the charge, and Mr.
Beadon committed her to the House of Correction for
three months with hard labour.

THE BRAMHA LE MURDER.

This morning James Ferguson Henderson,. aged
32, formerly cashier to Messrs. Saunders and
Smith, cornfactOrs, Manchester, was placed in the
dock, charged with the wilful murder of his father;
Mr. James Henderson, a farmer, ' residing at
Hardy's Farm, Bramhall. The charge against the
prisoner was that, on the night of the 29th of Sept.
last he shot his father while the deceased was
asleep in his bed. From the respectable position of
the accused and his family and the peculiar circum-
stances, of the case the trial caused unusual inte-
rest, and the court was much crowded.
Mr. Washy, Mr. Bevan, and Mr. Horatio Lloyd
conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Serjeant Parry
(specially retained) and Mr. Maciutyre appeared on
behalf of the prisoner.
The prisoner, who is rather a small and diminti-
tive person and light complexioned, with a sharp
countenance, on being placed at the bar pleaded
"Not Gu lty."

Mr. Welstly, iu a very lengthened speech, stated
the oasa on the part of the -prosecution, and first
called

Joseph Axon, who deposed to the correctness of
a model of the deceased's house, which he had pre-
pare I. [The model was produced
.in court; and
placed ou the table during the trial.]
There are 38 witnesses, and it is not'expected the
case will terminate before to-morrow night.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 1857.

The Indemnity Bill has passed through Coal
mittee this day. There was but one amendment
of any importance, that of the Hon. Member for
Wallingford, which was aimed against the con-
tinuance of the 10 per cent, rate of discount—.
if the Directors could, in the due exercise of their
discretion, see their way safely to a reduction in
that exorbitant and usurious charge. Mr MALINS
clearly established his case, but the "bard calcu-
lators" prevailed, under the leadership of Sir G.
0. LEWIS!It was in vain that the total impossi-
bility of carrying on the trade and commerce of
the country with a minimum rate of 10 per cent
for first-class bills, which implied 12, 15, or 20
per cent. for those of no less solvent parties, by
whom the bulk of the business of the country was
carried on, was urged that it would arrest pro-
duction, and involve the working population of
the country in deep distress and difficulty. It
scarcely required the high authority cited to con-
clude that trade which has been adjusttd in
accordance with a very different state of affairs
Gould not co-exist with such usurious discount ;
that is to say, no new engagements could be
entered into, every transaction must be stopped
for two or three months. This is alone sufficient
to create a Panic,
and no small shopkeepers or
agriculturists] will be enabled to obtain the re-
quisite pecuniary accommodation on any terms
whatsoever. So far as they were concerned there
was a total suspension of cre4D. The lands may
remain without cultivation, the looms idle, the
ring of the hammer or the grating of the saw shall
not be heard in the workshops. Dut what are
these things to the hard calculators ? " Great

" St. Petersburg, Nov. 17.
" Sir,—l had the honour to receive your despatch of
the 30th Oct., with, annexed to it, the new circular of the
Ottoman government to its representatives at the courts
which signed the treaty of Paris. We believe it is useless
to enter into a discussion wit't the§Turkish Minister
of Foreign Affairs ; but, if we had not thought so,
we should have noticed his assertions on the capitulations
of the principalities and especially on the expression
of 'sovereignty' which figures in the circular, and
which cannot in any ca-e be applied to the relations
of thwe provinces with the sublime Porte. We will
leave that c)mmunicAtion without reply ; and if Aali
Pacha should speak of it to your Excellency, you will
say that we refer to the spirit of our despatch of the
22d Oct.—Receive, &c., " GOBTSCHAKOFF."
A Vienna letter of the 2d says :—" in a confer-
ence yesterday between Count Buol and Prince
Kallimaki, the latter communicated the bases of
the plan of organisation of Moldavia and Wallachia
which the Porte is drawing up ; the principal fea-
tures are that two princes shall be elected for life
by the Divans from families of the provinces, sub-
ject to the confirmation of the Porte ; that a certain
union shall exit between the Principalities as re-
gards military, postal, customs, and telegraphic
communications ; that a Moldavian commission
shall be nominated to superintend these matters in
Wallachia, and a Wallachian one in Moldavia. ; and
that the two shall at intervals form one commission,
meeting at Jassy or Bucharest at fixed intervals to
modify existing regulations."

AN ESSAY ON SEXUAL DEBILITIES.
By the Editor.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent pract'-

time, be informs as, that he bas addressed himself to the non-rnedi-
!al reader. Wo trust this may not be the last, if ho shall idea an;
Aber equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
reet."—London Medical Gazette. "The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,
and Medical Friends,' aro mercilessly eaposed; and if this boob
amid find its way into the hands of those whe suffer from the com-
p!aint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhosa, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.
