The large possessions of General EaNEST Kiss,

THE SPORTSMAN.

In addition to the usual statistical information re-
lative to spurting matters afforded by this periodical,
the present number contains some articles of a very
entertaining nature. "A Few Thoughts on the Noble
Science" shows the writer to be a man well acquainted
with his subject. Sensibly cloth he say of men striving
to hunt cheap, "It is this false economy which causes
a man to spend more money on a bone-setter's bill
than would have mounted him properly and safely."
And again, " This pink, by the way, is a great attrac-
tion ; banish it, and you would draft a third of every
hunting field, especially at some fashionable watering-
places I could mention, where the great object
seems to be, not to have a good day's sport, but to
return in time to show the hunting costume on the
evening promenade." Very fairly pitched into,
the " Jack Brag" red-coats 1 There is "An
Angling Adventure," wherein a gentlemen recounts
how he fished out of a bed-room balcony, and
landed some six-pound trouts in his night-cap, tied
to the end of a broomstick; a dashing account of a
twenty-mile run after a " dingo" in Australia Felix ;
and the well-sustained continuations of " Sporting
Incidents at Home and Abroad," and of " Country
Practice." To some illustrations of the calumniated
idiosyncracy of the fox in the latter paper we would
invite the attention of the reader. " Tales of the
Itoad" are, however, to our mind, the best papers
which lotve appeared in this serial, rich in jollity and
the genuine smack of Irish fun. The author, indeed,
bids fair to become a worthy partner in the glorious
brotherhood of Carleton, Lever, and Lover. His carol
f " Saint Patrick and the Heathens," surely by
Father Phil, to the air of " The Night before Larry was
Stretched" would have rejoiced the soul of poor Alagin.

Mr. HUME hoped it would be made known publicly
that no person had a right to sign the name of another
to a petition.
Mr. THORNELY said the Committee had referred
to it a petition from a grand jury to which the names of
all the jury were affixed by the foreman in his own
handwriting, and the Committee had it printed as a
petition coming from the foreman.
The matter then dropped.
EXTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.
Lord DUDLEY STUART wished to put a question
to the Secretary for the Home Department: with respect
to the Metropolitan Interments Bill. That Bill stood
on the paper for Friday next, and as it was one in
which the public took the greatest possible interest, it
would be a great convenience to Hon. Members if his
Right Hon. Friend would state whether he thought he
could really bring on his Bill on that day or before the
Whitsun holidays.
Sir G. GREY replied that the Bill referred to could
not be brought on either on Friday or Monday, in con.
sequence of the pressure of other business; that the
recess would begin on Friday week, bat he would fix it
for the Friday after Whitsuntide. The business for
Friday next would be the third reading of the Irish
Franchise Bill.

GERMANY.

Advices have been received from Berlin of the 3d.
The President of the Peopi
le's Chamber at Erfurth
had an audience of the KING on the 2d, and it s
supposed that the Government of Prussia will not
rare any objection to a revision of the Constitution,
neither will the Governments of Thuringia
or of
Weimar. Prussia will not consent to the revival of
the state of things abolished by common consent, in
1848, or to the assumption by Austria of the Presi-
dency of the Diet convoked by the Austrian Ministry
at Frankfort. The Congress of the Union will open
at Gotha on the I.sth, and will be attended by all the
Members of the Union of the free towns, and by the
King of SAXONY. The King of PRUSSIA bas been
invited to be present. -
The Constitutionnel says that Bavaria intends to

FRANCE.

The Constitutionnel says
:
"On Saturday evening, when. the last of the fire-
works were being let off, the President of .the Republic
proposed to the Ministers of Finance, Justice, and Com-
merce, who were with him on business, to accom-
pany him in a walk which he wished. to take,
in order to witness the rejoicings of the day.
In a few minutes after the Chief of the State,
arm-in-arm with M. Realer, and followed by M. Fould
and M. Dumas, was in the thickest.of the crowd. They
first went to the Arc de Triomphe, and afterwards pro •
ceeded through the side alleys of the Champs Elysees to
the Place de la Concorde, which-they went through in
order to view the splendid illumination in all its details.
It was nearly midnight when they returned to the
Elysee. The sentiments and feelings which the Presi-
dent heard expressed during the promenade, contrast in
a singular manner, with what he every morning reads
in the journals of a certain colour. The President several
limes stopped before the stalls in the Champs ElyEess,
and it was not without emotion that he saw them filled
with portraits and emblems calling to mind an epoch,
the remembrance of which is as dear to him as ho is to
the whole nation."
We find the following in the Constitutionnel:—
" Letters from Saint Louis, Senegal, state that our
colony is threatened with a war by the Floors, who
have already committed some acts of hostility in the
neighbourhood of it. The banks of the Senegal are
inhabited by tribes who are continually in a state of
open rupture one with the other, and who are, be-
sides, often agitated by internal commotions. In the
midst of these conflicts, and of the anarchy which re-
results from them, our trading vessels are frequently
placed in danger. Sometimes they are subjected to
henvy exactions, and at others are pillaged. There
has never been a governor at Senegal that has not had
to obtain reparation for some misdeeds of the kind,
and the present one, Captain Baudin, has been
obliged in his turn to resort to force to bring
to reason certain chiefs, who have been guilty
of acts of violence zgainst our merchants. An
expedition which was undertaken last year on the
upper part of the river appeared to have put an end to
the acts -of rapacity exercised against our merchant-

withdraw from the Zollverein in 1853, when the pre-
sent treaty expires. The manufacturing industry of
Bavaria has not kept pace with the northern states of
the Zollverein, and is more in harmony with that of
her southern neighbour, Austria. The alterations
proposed to be made in the Zollverein tariff will, it is
said, facilitate the entrance of Holstein and the Hanse
Towns. Propositions have also been made by Han-
over and Oldenburg, with the conditions on which
they Will be witting to enter the Zollverein. On these
conditions thpproaching Zoll congress at Cassell
will have to} ide. Of the 32 elections which have
already take place, 14 of the deputies to the congress
are deeided freetraders.
The Wiener Zeitung of the 2d publishes the official
announcement of the retirement of Count STURMER
from the post of Austrian Internuncio at the Porte.
The announcement being unaccompanied by any of
the usual expressions of satisfaction, such as advance-
ment in rank or appointment to an order of knight-
hood, is considered as tantamount to an expression of

RUSSIA.

The Allgemeine Zeitung has letters from the
frontiers of Poland of the 30th ult., in which some
details of the military movements in the kingdom of
Poland are given. The divisions and brigades,
which were hitherto dispersed about the country,
are concentrating. The kingdom of Poland is now
garrisoned by the whole of the army which
i
lately fought n, Hungary, excepting always the
cavalry corps of in,
SASS, which is expected
to come up, and the corps of
—enerrl LUDERS, which
is now in Wallachia. There are altogether four corps
of 40,000 men each in the kingdom of Poland. The
Ist and 4th corps.are in a camp at Lenozyc, while
the 2d and 3d corps are at Suwalki. This assertion
explains the falling back of the Russian regiments
from the Prussian frontier.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of tke

fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualifled phyal-
clan for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-

practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

GREENLAND V. CHAPLIN.

The COURT also refused to grant a rule for a new
trial in this case, which was of a somewhat similar
nature.

The action arose out of a collision on the iiver, in con-
sequence of which the plaintiff had a leg broken and las
otherwise injured, and the jury awarded him damages to
the amount of 2001.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)

GORHAM V. BISEIOP OF EXETER.
The COURT announced its intention of giving judg-
ment in this case next term. The Court intimated that
the greatest difficulty which it had met with was in ob-
taining information relative to the mode of proceeding
in the two cases which bad been referred to, and that
as yet the Learned Judges had not been able, after using
all possible investigation, to come at any clear informa-
tion on the subject.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
This being the last day of term, the Court was chiefly
occupied with motions for the re-admission of attorneys
who had ceased to take out their certificates for some
time past. One case was reserved for consideration, the

tised for the last nine years, during which period he

THE SPORTSMAN.

In addition to the usual statistical information re-
lative to sporting matters afforded by this periodical,
the present number contains some articles of a very
entertaining nature. "A Few Thoughts on the Noble
Science" shows the writer to be a man well acquainted
with his subject. Sensibly doth he say of men striving
to hunt cheap, "It is this false economy which causes
a man to spend more money on a bone-setter's bill
than would have mounted him properly and safely."
And again, " This pink, by the way, is a great attrac-
tion ; banish it, and you would draft a third of every
hunting field, especially at some fashionable watering-
places I could mention, where the great object
seems to be, not to have a good day's sport, but to
return in time to show the hunting costume on the
evening promenade." Very fairly pitched into,
the "Jack Brag" red-coats ! There is "An
Angling Adventure," wherein a genth men recounts
how he fished out of a bed-room balcony, and
landed some six-pound trouts in his night-cap, tied
to the end of a broomstick ; a dashing account of a
twenty-mile run after a " dingo" in Australia Felix ;
and the well-sustained continuations of " Sporting
Incidents at Home and Abroad," and of " Country
Practice." To some illustrations of the calumniated
idiosyncracy of the fox in the latter paper we would
invite the attention of the reader. "Tales of the
Road" are, however, to our mind, the best papers
which have appeared in this serial, rich in jollity and
the genuine smack of Irish fun. The author, indeed,
bids fair to become a worthy partner in the glorious
brotherhood of Carleton, Lever, and Lover. His carol
of " Saint Patrick and the Heathens," surely by
Father Phil, to the air of " The Night before Larry was,
Stretched" would hare rejoiced the MO of poor klagin.

ITALY.

Accounts from Naples announce the arrival in that
city, of the Count of SYEACUSE, the brother of the
KING. Ile was the bearer of a letter from M. DE LA-
MARTINE to DON MICHAEL SOLIMBNIS a man of
letters, who has never interfered with politic?. The
day after the receipt of this letter the house of DON
MICHAEL was taken possession of by the police, and
subjected to the most rigorous search, and although
nothing of an inculpatory nature was found, DON
IdIcHAEL was arrested, and is at this moment in pri-
son, his only crime being the receipt of a letter, of
which the KING'S brother WAS the bearer.
We read the following in the Consituzionale of
Florence of the 30th ult.:—
" We can affirm that about the 24th of this month the
prefects of all the departments sent a special notice to
the Gonfalonieri of the new municipal councils, to in-
form them, by the express order of the Cabinet, that
the Government would convoke the Parliament at the
first opportunity, and that it:was therefore desirable that
this new confirmation of a necessary measure should re-
store tranquillity to the public mind, after the enthu-
siasm excited by the late municipal votes in favour of the
Constitution.

FRAN CE.

The Constitutionnel says:—
"0a Saturday evening, when the last of the fire-
works were being let off,. the President of the Republic
proposed,to the Ministers of Finance, Justice, and Com-
merce, who were with him on business, to accom-
pany him in a walk which he . wished to take,
in order to witness the rejoicings of the day.
In a few minutes after the Chief of the State,
arm-in-arm with M. Router, and followed by M. Fould
and M. Dumas, was in the thickest of the crowd. They
first went to the Arc de Triomphe, and afterwards pro •
ceeded through the side alleys of the Champs Elysees to
the Place de la Concorde, which they went through in
order to view the splendid illumination in all its details.
It was nearly midaight when they returned to the
Elysee. The sentiments and feelings which the Presi-
dent heard expressed during the promenade, contrast in
singular manner, with what he every morning reads
in the journals of a certain colour. The President several
times stopped before the stalls in the Champs Ely:Ls,
and it was not without emotion that he saw them fill-d
with portraits and emblems calling to mind an epoch,
the remembranCe of which is as dear to him as he is to
the whole nation."
We find the following in the Constitutionnel:—
" Letters from Saint. Louis, Senegal, state that our
colony is threatened with a war by the Moors, who
have already committed some acts of hostility in the
neighbourhood of it. The banks of the Senegal are
inhabited by tribes who are continually in a state of
open rupture one with the other, and who are, be-
sides, often•agitated by internal commotions. In the
midst of these conflicts, and of the anarchy which re-
results from- them, our trading vessels are frequently
placed in danger. Sometimes they are subjected to
henvy exactions, and at others are pillaged. There
has never been a governor at Senegal that has not hud
to obtain reparation for some misdeeds of the kind,
and the present one, Captain Baudin, has been
obliged in his turn to resort to force to bring
to reason certain chiefs, who have been guilty
of acts of violence against our merchants. An
expedition which was undertaken last year on the
upper part of the river appeared to have put an end to
the acts of rapacity exercised against our merchant-

vessels. The tribes on the banks of the Senegal,
alarmed at the chastisement which had been inflicted
on one of their fellow tribes, made their submission,
and engaged to pay an indemnity to the victims of
the exactions and pillaging which had been com-
mitted for a certain number of years. In order to
give complete security to our commerce, the Governor
of Senegal has considered it his duty to seek to put
an end to a civil war which divided one of the most
considerable tribes on the banks of the river—the
Bracknas. In his idea, the re-establishment of a
single responsible and recognised authority would he
a means of securing from that tribe respect for
the treaty which they had concluded with us,
and of guaranteeing the property of our merchants.
He therefore went in person, at the head of a military
force, to the territory of the Bracknas. Taking ad-
vantage of the absence of the Governor, the chief of
another not less important tribe, the Trarzas, attacked
the establishments formed by the colonists in the
neighbourhood of Saint Louis, and devastated and pil-
laged them. Several murders were, it is said, com-
mitted by the assailants. This unexpected act of ag-
gression brought back the Governor in great haste to
St. Louis. On his return, the. Trams had disap-
, peared with their booty. M. Baudin was obliged to
leave again soon after to seek the troops, who were
engaged in another expedition in Upper Senegal. It
is not known whether the Trarzas will confine them•
selves to the outrage they have already committed,
but in any case they will have to be called to account,
and reparation obtained from them. It is to be hoped
that this unfortunate event will not long interrupt the
trade on the river."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 7.—The value of steamers for the
transport of troops or the munitions of war has been
strikingly exhibited during the past week by the voyage
between this and Devonport, of her Majesty's iron
steam-frigate Birkenhead, Commander J. A. Stevens.
On Saturday morning, at five o'clock, she arrived' at
Devonport, landed the left wing of the 4th Foot (em-
barked here the previous afternoon), and all their bag-
gage, took in the left wing of the 28th, and sailed again
at nine, being only four hours in making the transfer
of 900 persons, and arrived with them here at five L.
on Sunday. She proceeds next to Ireland on similar
duty.
The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Ame.
lius Beauclerck, is under orders to proceed to Scotland
to navigate the Greenoch steam-ship to Devonport for
commission.

The Sealark, 8, Commander Moneypenny, is return-
ing her last stores alongside the jetty, and will be paid
off on Thursday.
The Comet steam-vessel was recommissioned here
to day by Commander IL C. Otter for surveying service.
