THE SU.N,

city. Thr ro was one case of manslaughter aessinst the
pilot of a steam-vessel. It would seem that the vessel
the prisoner had charge of ran down a man in a boat,
and the grand jury would have to ascertain whether it
arose from any negligent act on his pa: t, or was
the result of an accident which the prisoner
could not possibly have had any control ovsr.
There was another case cf painful character which
he mast hi idly refer to. Two able bodied men applied
to a workhouse for relief, but they were told they bad
come to the wrong place, as relief could not be legally
afforded there to persons in their condition, and they
were accordingly requested to retire. They, however,
exhibited no disposition to do so; and upon a porter of
the workhouse attempting to remove them, one of the
two struck him across the head with a knife, and the
blow ultimately resulted in his death. The jury would
have to determine whether this man had been guilty cf
an attempt at murder or only of manslaughter. One
other case only called for observation. It was that of
three men who were charged with having broken into a
gentleman's house in the dead of the night for the purpose
of plunder. The case was rendered the more remarkable
by the circumstances which led to the defeat of their
object. The servants of the gentleman whose house was
broken into appeared to have made a most gallant de-
fence or their master's property, and two of the robbers
had suffered severely from the injuries avhieh they re-
ceived in the encounter. If it was generally known that
fire areas were kept in large mansions for the especial
reception of thieves, burglaries would become less fre-
quent, thought it must not be understood that an a,-
tempt to commit a robbery would justify the reckless
destruction of life. It was only in,cases where the offence
could not be prevented, except by taking the life
of the malefactors, that the law would absolve a
party from the consequences of such an act, and
though, as he had already observed, it was prudent
to keep fire-arms they should, nevertheless, be only re-
sorted to in extreme cases, and never used without great
caution. He told them, in his opening remarks, that the
majority of cases embraced by the calendar consisted of
petty larceny. Two of the chief causes of that offence
was the careless exposure of property in the streets out-
side shop-windows, and the facilities afforded by pawn-
brokers for the disposal of stolen property. The remedy
for the first of these causes was in the hands of prose.
cutors themselves, but the latter cause could only be
dealt with by the Legislature; for the rule of law was
this, when a prisoner was convicted of a robbery the
pawnbroker was bound to restore the stolen property to
the owner, but if the prisoner was acquitted no such duty
devolved upon the pawnbroker. No doubt this cir-
cumstance accounted for the apathy, if not utter disin-
clination, to identify prisoners which pawnbrokers
generally felt when called upon to give evidence in some
of these petty larceny cases; and he was afraid, until
an alteration was made in the law, many offenders would
still succeed in defeating the ends of justice. These
were all the observations which he had to address to the
grand jury, and congratulating them upon the prospect
of their duties being exceedingly light, it only remained
for him to dismiss them to the discharge of their im-
portant functions.
The grand jury then retired.

The single use of the Exhibition was, that we might
lay our goods before assembled foreigners, with their
prices. Imagine a manufacturer allowed to send his
samples to South America, but not his prices , and the
whole bearing of the point is seen.
The object of the Protectionists is to prevent price
from appearing as an element. If, for example, the
samples for competition were corn, they wish the in-
quiry to be confined to which has the largest grains
and whitest skin, and bar all entry on the question
whether one is offered at a hundred shillings the
quarter and the other at thirty-five.
As in some other movements, the time has been
taken when Parliament is not sitting; for a question
asked in Parliament would have settled the whole. I
have written to attract the attention of my consti-
tuents, through their local paper; and if in the mean-
time you will assist in the circulation, you will oblige

FREE TRADE AND THE EXHIBITION OF 1851

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—From the last number of the Spectator, I
collect, that directions have been issued that the spe-
cimens sent to the Exhibition of 1351 shall not be ac-
companied by the prices.
This with one stroke of the pen cuts up by the roots
all the benefits expected from the Exhibition, and will
constitute it the ridicule of Europe. I am afraid
that, at the eleventh hour, the Protectionists have been
too many for us.

OPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.

THE KING'S SPEECH.

BERLIN, Nov. 21.—The session of the Chambers
was opened this morning by the King i❑ person, in
the Whitehall of the Palace. The ceremony differed
in no respect from the forms observed on other occa-
sions; but there was considerable increase in the in-
terest with which the speech was awaited. The com-
petition for tickets of admission was pretty keen, for
the hall being originally only a ball-room, the public
are limited to the gallery that was once the or-
chestra, and after a loge is parted off for the Am-
bassadors of the several Powers, the space is rather ;
limited. Care had been taken not to issue more

tickets than the gallery would hold persons, so that
though full, it was not overcrowded. The senators,
after attending Divine worship in the cathedral and
the church of St. Hedwig, began to arrive at eleven
o'clock. Chairs were placed on the side of the hall
opposite the throne, but very few of the deputies
seated themselves; nearly all remained standing in
the space immediately in front of the throne during
the whole proceedings.
The diplomatic corps, in grand costume, arrived in
a body shortly before half-past eleven o'clock.
His Majesty soon after entered the hall, followed
by the Princes of the royal house and the several
Ministers in their state uniforms. The Princes
took their place to the right of the throne, and the
Ministers on the left. His Majesty wore a general's
uniform, with helmet and plume. He was received
by the Assembly in profound silence. Having taken
his seat, after saluting the deputies, he immediateiy
read the following speech :
" Gentlemen, Deputies of the First and Second Cham-
bers,—ln an earnest period I see you with confidence
again assembled around my throne, and I bid you from
my heart welcome.
" Since the close of your last session my Government
has been zealously engaged in calling into active opera-
tion the organic laws which were passed with your as-
sent. The introduction of the new communal law has
been commenced in all parts of the kingdom, and only a
regard to manifold existing interests, directed by the
provisions of the law itself, has prevented the equal
progress of the measure in the different parts of the
monarchy. Although the preliminary survey for the
land tax, accordicg to the estimate of the law of the
24th of Februrary of the present year, has not been
everywhere concluded, yet my Government will lay
before you the reselt of the measure as soon as possible.
" The great railway constructions which the Govern-
ment has been placed in a position by your assent to
bring to completion, have been commenced vigorously,
and with good results. Other public works have also
progressed in a satisfactory manner, and have contri-
buted essentially to the improvement of the classes to
which they have furnished employment.
" In consequence of the progressive establishment of
confidence trade and commerce have increased during
the past year, and have in some branches received a
lively impulse. The seaboree traffic in the harbours of
the kingdom has indicated a rising activity in commer-
cial enterprise.
" The improvement of the post system, which has
been accompanied by a more comprehensive postal
treaty with other German States, for the facilitation of
mutual intercourse, already exhibits its many advantages.
We had already begun to enjoy the returning state
of security when an attempts.-1 assassination against my-
self opened for us a glance into that moral abyss on
which we aro still standing. I do not speak of my life
—that is in the hand of the Almighty; and the danger
from which I was miraculously saved procured me the
satisfaction of receiving innumerable proofs of fidelity
and attachment from all parts of the country. But I
speak of that profound confusion of all ideas in which
alone an attempt at regicide could arise, of that contempt
of Divine and human laws which was to be observed in
this lamentable event.

" The Revolutionary press bears no small part of the
guilt, and as it was not possible in the last session of the
Chamber to discuss the Provisional Press Law of the 30th
of June last, and which has bee❑ found ineffective, my
Government considered it its duty to publish a further
preliminary decree relative to the press, on the authority
of the 63d Article of the Constitution. This decree,
however, was only intended to be a temporary means of
remedying evident evils. At the same time, therefore,
with this decree the draught of a comprehensive and
permanent law for the organization of the press will be
laid before you. In discussing it you will endeavour in
accord with my Government to reconcile the claims of a
reasonable freedom with the conditions necessary to the
safety of the state and of society.
" The preparations for carrying into effect the pro-
visions of the Constitution as to the relations of the
Church to the State are in uninterrupted progress, and
my Government will feel itself bound to settle the diffi-
cult task submitted to them with a due regard to all just
interests.

" The draught of the Education Law is nearly com-
pleted, but the comprehensi►e nature of the preliminary
labour it requires prevents its being laid before you at
the opening of the session.
" The draught of a law regulating the practice of
medicine will shortly be laid before you.
"The draught of a penal code, long since prepared,
also awaits your discussion.
"The annexation of the principalities of Hohenzollern
to the monarchy renders necessary the publication of an
election law for those States. I suggest to you the im•
mediate consideration of this law, for you will wish, as
well as myself, to see the representatives of that part of
the nation as soon as possible among you.
Gentlemen, you will perceive by the financial state-
ment for 1851 that there has not only been in general an
increase in the revenue of the state, but that care has
been taken to place every practical limit to the expendi-
ture. Yet it has not been possible with the ordinary re-
venue to cover the increased outlay of the state occa-
sioned by the effects of the convulsions of 1848. A more
than ordinary pressure on the taxation of the country
is, therefore, unavoidable. The measures of my Go-
vernment en this subject I recommend to Sour most
careful consideration.

" A full account of the use made of the credit of
18,000,000 thalers, voted for military purposes, will be
laid before you.
" The dangers by which you were induced to grant
that credit have not yet been removed. My pacific re-
lations to the great powers of Europe have not indeed
been interrupted; but, unhappily, it has not been possi-
ble to carry into effect my intention to create for the
German States a constitution equal to their necessities.
I cling to the idea which was the- foundation of my
efforts, in firm hope in the future; but I will only again
attempt its realization on new grounds when a decision
has been come to on the future organization of the
German Bund.
" I hope that the negotiations on this subject will soon
lead to a successful result.
" The peace with Denmark is concluded and ratified ;
but it has not been
possible as yet to carry it in all
points into effect.
"In a neighbouring German State disputes of the
most irrecuicilable character have taken place. An
attempt to interfere, made from one side only, threatened
to violate the rights of Prussia, and led to misunder-
standings in which we are directly involved. Our re-
presentations, founded on the conditions of our geo-
graphical
and military position, did not meet with
proper attention on the part of the Sovereign of the State
and bis allies. Besides this, concentrations of troops

were made close on our frontiers, in places distant from
the scene of those embarrassments, by which the security
'l' h e n couldhave
calledno longer
out
the whole warlike power of the land, and I see with pride
and joy that all my people capable of bearing arms have
risen Ike one man, and joined themselves to my brave
and faithful army.
"In a short time we shall stand more strongly armed
than at any period of old or modern time. We do not
seek war; we wish to lessen no one's rights, or force
our proposals on any one; but we require an organiza-
tion of collective Germany, consistent with our present
position in Germany and in Europe, and commensurate
with the sum of the rights that God has placed in our
hands. We have a good right; that we will defend,
and we will remain in powerful preparation, under our
weapons, till we are certain it has obtained recognition.
" This wo owe to Prussia and to Germany.
" I hope that our rising will be sufficient to assert our
Tight; if this is attained, it is withput danger te the

strike many of the Deputies to-morrow as unaccount-

regards with the most anxiety. The Hessian dispute,
which is dwelt on at some length, is of secondary
importance.
After the ceremony at the Palace, both Chambers
held a short preparatory sitting in their respective
localities. M. LEUSING was, as in the last session,
elected president of seniority in the Second Chamber;
M. FONCH was chosen in the same manner in the
Upper House.
The first contest will be the election of President;
the Opposition, it is believed, will propose M. VON
CAMPHAUSEN. Count VON RITTBERG and M. VON
JORDAN are mentioned as the Ministerial and Con-
servative candidates.
Our latest advices from Berlin inform us of the
proceedings of the Prussian Parliament in its sittings
of the 22d inst. Presidents were elected, viz.,—the
Lower House elected Count SCHWERIN, while Mr.
SIMsoN was appointed Vice-President. In the Upper
House Count RITTBERG was elected to the Presidency
with a majority of 40 votes against the candidate of
the Liberal party, Mr. CAMPHAUSEN.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Hamburgh Borsenhalle has the following from
Copenhagen of the date of the 18th Nov. :

The Minister of War has published the official
report of the loss of the Danes in the reconnoitering
skirmish on the 14th, at three wounded and four miss-
ing ; one Schleswig-Holstein officer and five sol-
diers having been taken prisoners by the Danes. In
another skirmish which took place on the same day
at Breckendorf, the Holsteiners had three men killed
and fourteen taken prisoners. The Danes sustained
no loss.

" Very great activity prevails in the Duchies of
Schleswig-Holstein, and decisive events are evidently
in preparation.

THE NATIONAL CONCERTS.

On Saturday evening there was a sudden change
in the programme of the concert, occa,ioned by the
indisposition of Mr. Sims Reeves. This prevented
the performance of M'Farren's new serenata, The
Sleeper Awakened, which would have occupied
the first part of the entertainment. For this a mis-
cellaneous selection of vocal and instrumental music
was substituted, including one of the finely har-
monized efforts of the Berlin chorus. In the course
of the second part, an unexpected novelty was intro-
duceci, in the shape of a selection of some of the most
favourite airs in Halevy's Tempesta, which proved
quite as attractive in this as in their dramatic form.
The theatre was crowded, the promenade being lite-
rally crammed, and the boxes filled with a very supe-
rior audience. The Berlin chorus will sing through-
out the week, prior to their return to Prus,ia.
Among the audience at the National C..mcerts dur-
ing the last week were his Serene Highness Prince
Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duke nod Duchess of
Leinster, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston,
Marquis of Donegal, Marquis of Headfort and
Lady Olivia Taylour, Viscount and Lady Olivia
Ossulston, Countess of Kinnoul and Lady Francis
Hay, the Earl of Belfast, Lady Ashley, Lord
Ward and Hon. Dudley Ward, his Excellency

HOLLAND.
GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBURG.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 23.—The Chambers of the
Grand Duchy of Luxemburg have closed after a short
but stormy session. At the concluding sitting the
following motion was passed after a warm debate of
several hours. This motion, whiCh bears upon the
present state of Germany, is thus worded:—
" SeeiEg that the Government which has contributed
to the re-establishment of the Diet has declared that it
will not associate itself with any coercive measures
against a constitutional state of Germany:
" That notwithstanding coercive measures are carried
out in the name of the Diet and of the states which
compose the Diet, that Hesse is invaded, and that nearly
the whole of Germany is under arms:
" Hope that the Government will endeavour to obtain
that neutrality of which it hiss spoken."

After having voted the Budget for Public Works,
the Chambers adjourned to the second Tuesday in
February, leaving the President the power of con-
voking an extraordinary session if circumstances
shall require it.

Shakspere's Julius Cesar was performed for the
second time this season on Saturday night. Mr. Mac-
ready, however, instead of playing Brutes, sustained
the part of Cassius—a character that in former years
was considered one of his best impersonations. He gave
the usual evidences of quick, practised ability, and high,
educated intelligence; and afforded further ground for
lamenting the proposd departure from the stage of an
artist who has for so long a period been esteemed one of
its leading ornaments. Mr. Davenport, upon this oc-
casion, was the Brutus, and Mr. Howe the Marc An-
thony, both acquitting themselves creditably. The cus-
tomary appearances took place before the curtain at the
close of the tragedy.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1850.

PARIS IN MARCH, 1850.
(C ON CLUDED.

At length the almost illegible schede jotted down
at Paris in March, 1850, are transcribed, and certes
they cannot aspire to the character of news. The Sun
is a journal without which the press would sink into
a mere caterer for the avarice of tew, the mediocrity
and lukewarmness of many: a journal which has
Song acted as steam-tug or pilot•fish to the others, by
just fastening a hook in the nose of leviathan Times:
a journal which never deceives the people nor their
true friends, for it tells them not only what they like
to hear, but what they ought to hear. To the Alfred
of the press might be offered, by way of homage,
some " modern instances," suggesting to an impartial
thinker the principles of history which, old as their
origin may be, are always new : to give the facts and
the reasonings suggested, though a more ambitious
writer might find them beneath his notice.
A morning paper has published some very interest-
ing details of French farming, hut we only pretend
to give some general notions. Agriculture is a per-
manent resource against the ingratitude and injustice
of mankind : it is the genuine pleasure of childhood
al of age, so that every word on that subject, if prac-
ticable, may be taken as part of one's quota to huma-
nity. On some occasion Cobbett srat publicly that
if no two Irish Members could agree on any one thing
lie would go home to his sheep and cows! It was
to seethe labourers aux champs and the agricultural
campaign commencing that the busy month of March
was chosen for an excursion.
If M. Louis Blanc takes an interest in the subject
he must allow that French farmers not only recog-
nise his economie du travail but a parsimony of travail
also, peculiar to themselves. Not a foot of ground is
wasted, not a weed to be seen—this last by help of
warm summers being easily managed—yet the plough-
ing is scarce three inches deep. From Amiens to
Paris, from Paris along the Loire to Tours, the soil
is deep and black and rich everywhere., a pulverizing
sun being warded off by the admirable nature of the
ground. Still the " Anglo-Saxon go-a-head" is
wanting the country is rather organized
than fertilized oui, veus sere:. organisis.
One would suppose the farmers were like
the serpents de ville at Paris theatres, who with agi-
tated countenances, long strides, sabres, and vast
cloaks a tutta rota, impede the setting down and
taking up of a dozen carriages. All who pass the
boundaries of French Canada and the United States
have seen the indolence and penury of French ma-
nagement; what a sudden contrast also between
Belgium and France, the land being naturally
identical on the line of frontier : in the south of
France " twenty thousand French peasants reap the
harvests of Spain" yearly. Such is the difference of
races.

Which is also perceptible is our own Tipperary,
terra potens ARMIS atque übere glebes : the soil is not
originally superior to "all Ireland," but some " boys" of
a tougher breed came up the river Suir, soon made
the ground worth fighting for, and have been fighting
for it ever since.

The waste of war and a depopulating conscription
must not be forgotten. Agriculture is officina
mili-
tum, the storehouse of soldiers. These Sabine tillers
are only happy, sua si bona norint, and to prosperous
youth contentment is unknown.
" Aucun rcbaage
Du plus heureux village
Peut etre sans soupir."

Having few but imaginary evils at home, the strip-
ling infers per saltum that there are no real evils
abroad ; and what becomes of him ? "We have
seen them at an age, when the body had not yet at-
tained its full growth, scorched by the sun in sum-
mer, and having the snow for bed in winter, march-
ing without shoes in the morasses of Poland, or among
the craggy peaks of the Alps and Pyrenees, con-
strained to wrest from the labourer the frugal fare of
his children. On more than one occasion we, their
generals and their fathers, have been constrained to
shut our eyes on the sufferings of the inhabitants."
It is General Foy who speaks; and such evils in posse
are quite enough to paralyze industry, especially
taking into account Dr. Solander's apophthegm (the
Swedish botanist who went round the world with
Captain Cook)—illan Loves Lazy.
Here the succession of crops is very regular, but
very limited ; great economy of manure, but parsi-
mony of live stock, as of money stock. Where is the
aristocrat or theocrat Etruscan Lucumon to hold
forth the books of Tages ? A great genius was Tages,
who, " when the plough was going very deep (am
sulcus altius inscriberetur) suddenly sprung out of the
furrow (repute extitit) with a juvenile aspect, but
with all the prudence of age." Chemistry will no
more give an ample circulation of humus or nutritive
sap than it will introduce Scotch banking, Equally
necessary to farmers, aho have to wait a year and
even two or three years fur return. Chemistry can
no more detect or explain the qualities of Peruvian
guano than it can distinguish the port wine we used
to drink at I3arnby• moor and Orkenbury-hill in the
good old days of bad roads,
Saturno rege, priusquam
Tellus in longas est patefacta vias,"

from the finest c/os and crus, vintage of 183—.
So, after all, "ammonia is useless !" and yet the
mineral manures, recommended by Liebig's positive
order, ruined the purchasers. Surely a rotation of
seven or eight various crops, as on the small farms
in Belgium, would enable each plant to find nitrogen,
hydrogen, and phosphates for itself. Instead of
expecting farmers to alembicate their brains with
crucible:, retorts and gallipots, the police might compel
some one chemist to rent a farm of ten acres, and so
bring him to book. The farmer should be re-
minded that nearly 5-6ths of England is cold, sour,
and wet; they are neatly covering their land with
thin slices of a substance not far superior to clay,
carefully puddling the ground underneath with the
sole of the plough, at least once a year, to prevent the
escape of stagnant water—hermetically. The Go-
vernment ought to send half-pay officers to survey all
the accumulations of Peruvian—surnamed by a
grateful catachresis, Improvian Guano—and pur-
chase them all. Then, with a better system of
money payments, Mr. Tidd Pratt's Cuffe-street
savings, instead of being industriously diverted
to London circulation, private banks, exchange-mer-
chants, loan firms, court Jews, Consol-market,
and Ministerial blunders, must be industriously con-
verted into advances of U. notes, and usance for the
real tillers. Gives us back the times
" - 'Ere England's woes began,
When every rood of ground maintained its man,"
The bases of Pythagorean ethics were-Ist. Quod
non posuisti ne tollas ; 2d. DEPoCSTUM reddas. Yet
Sir C. Wood marvels when the Furies of Cuffe-
street claim their deposits without any instructions on
his part. Excuse the digression, in favorem vita.
The depth and richness of soil in France are seen
wherever they pretend to do it justice by trenching or
other means, as in gardens and vineyards. French
differs from Anglo-Saxon farming pretty much as
ancient from modern ; comparing Varro and
Columella with Young and Wakefield. " Theirs
was correct, precise, regular, persevering, but alto-
gether unelastic ; ours coarse, without system, in-
correct, often wasteful, but full of resource." Also
the noble Romans cheated the rest of the farm to
pamper the vine. They have in France a sort of
Code Napokon, founded on Pandects of Justinian.
Still, if our system is wasteful, it is inexcusable, for
agriculture, after all, is but prudentia major, farming
revenue, husbanding resources, and a good housewife
much wanted; farming is high-farming, low-
farming is no-farming. Every farm is a
specialty in its objects, its means, its diffi-
culties, and its history. Chemistry and machinery
may run up ugly compUt and cast iron, but cannot
teach men to keep land clean and dry and well Ina-
nured ; or, in other words, to plough deep, sow clean,
and muck heavy. The latter sentence includes the
former : to " plough deep" is to keep the landadry, in
all but extreme cases, and to " sow clean" is to keep
the land clean : hence golden plough and divine
honours from China westward. How can you sow
clean with spade alone, except you turn a battalion on
to the land, will it be clean when you have done ?—lt
will be even as Lupercus his beard, growing faster
than shaver could dispose of it.
" Entrapelus tonsor, duet circuit ora Luperci
Expungitque genas, alters barbs subit."
In England the rural population always detested
feudality. They were right. It is the bane of agricul-
ture, distinguishing this craft from steeple or fox-chases,
battues, murderous fights of keepers with poachers,
and county gaols—territorial rights and wrongs
—mouth honour, praise which the poor heart would
fain repress but dares not—royalties of brick-field as
of Widdicomb and his royal property (royalty of
twopence per catalogue 1851)—in short Real pro-
perty—fief-simple—taxgathering in capite—Cbarta
Forestm repealed to great detriment of Hygeia—non
obstante clause a la Wiseman: any natural or acquired
rights to the contrary notwithstanding.

THE LATE MURDER AT HAVERFORDWEST.--We
learn that the police, who have been
untiring in their exer-
tions, have at length been successful in ther etiorts, and have
produced evidence which cannot tail to fix the guilt of the
murder of the old woman Elizabeth Barnard upon a man and
woman named Thomas Thomas and Jane Evans, both of
whom have been fully committed by the magistrates to take
their trial at the next assizes for the capital offence. It will
be remembered that the old woman was picked up in a ditch
near the Methodist Chapel, in a dying condition, and that, a
post mortenz examination of the body having been made, the
death was clearly traced to injuries that had been inflicted
upon her.
