GERMAN Y.

A Frankfurt letter, of the 22d instant, in the
Kolner Zeitung, states, that the intervention of Aus-
trian and Bavarian troops in Electoral Hesse might
probably come off within the next four-and-twenty
hours, and that on the 21st instant part of the
Bavarian troops at Aschaffenburg have taken up
positions on the frontier of Hesse. Prince Taxis,
the commander of these troops, came to Frankfort on
the 221 inst. to consult with Count I'I:MN (tbe Aus-
trian agent) as to the dispositions of the various corps
of the two armies. This news is, however, partly
contradicted by a paragraph in the Augsburger
Abend-Zeitung, in which it is statod that it has been
resolved not to send any Bavarian troops into Hesse,
and that the army on the frontier is to be quartered
on the Bavarian towns of Aschaffenburg, Wurzburg,
Bamberg', and Schweinfurt.

The German papers have no advices from Cassel o:
the 22d inst.

Berlin letters of the 22d inst., in the Kolner
Zeitung, state that Prussia has protested against the
ratifications of the peace with Denmark, which has
been sent in by the Frankfort Federal Club, in its
assumed quality of a Federal Diet.

Mr. CLARKsoN then addressed the jury on behalf of
the prisoner, contending that the circumatances showed
a pronethil:ty of there being a really guilty person be-
hind the scenes in this transaction, in the person of a
Frenchman, and that the prisoner acted as an innocent
agent of that party, tot being aware of the conse-

The jury found the prisoner Guilty; and
His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to be trans-

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The French vaudeville of Merovile, which occasion-
ally served as an introductory piece at the St. James's
Theatre, has been converted with much skill into a
broad English farce, which was brought out last
night under the title of My Friend in the Straps.
the principal character in the intrigue is a gentle-
man blsesed with no small stock of impudence, who
has a friend blessed with an exceedingly small
stock of clothes. The man of the scanty wardrobe is
invited by his uncle to meet a young lady, whom it
is intended he should marry, and the impudent gen-
tleman lends him a suit, that he may make a decent
appearance, and attends him in the capacity of
groom. The drolleries of the piece are occasioned
by the share groom constantly forgetting his ficti-
tious position, and offending the company by his
familiarities; end these difficulties are further height-
ened by the fact, that not only the intended bride,
but another visitor, the wife of a jealous East In-
dian, are old flames, who recognize him through his
disguise. At the end he effects a reconcilia,ion with
everybody, and takes to himself the intended bride,
who prefers him to her proposed husband. The
merit of this piece consists not so much in the plot,
as in the force with which several ludicrous situations
are brought out. So startling are the effects pro-
duced by the mistakes of the pretended servant that
the stage is kept in a perpetual uproar, the impu-
dence of the offender being brought into strong
relief by the wonder of the real domestic of the
establishment, who, a natural friend of order, cannot
understand his mate's vagaries. The English adap-
tor in working the subject has well fitted the xigen•
cies of our own stage. The pseudo groom is made
an Irishman, whose off-hand impudence is admira-
bly sustained by Mr. Hudson, whila the simple do-
mestic is a Yorkshireman, played by Mr. Rogers,
who opposes an appearance of bluff honesty to a
show of off-hand assurance. The East Indian husband,
who always feels himself insulted, and whose rage
is so violent that it generally explodes altogether
before it can accomplish any practical result, is ren-
dered quite a " character" by Mr. Bland, whose
very whiskers smack of irrascibility. In short, there
could scarcely be better farce-acting than that by
Messrs. Hudson, Bland, and Rogers in this little
piece ; and an excellent field has been opened for them
by the author. A roar of laughter continued
throughout the farce, at the end of which Mr. Hud-
son was universally called.

SI L A
NOVEL. 0 0 D.
"The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
herdly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genlus, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religien, ani by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
en the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraeli.% Man-
nerves, and Smythea."—Observer.
" :Inwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
cg beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gag'.ng novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter :f Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie. Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them ail."—Morning Post.

water out of the sewer; and between four and five o'clock
they succeeded in clearing the immense subterranean
passage of the principal portion of its contents, when
they beheld tho lifeless bodies of two poor fellows, who
had been engaged during the forenoon in forming the
brickwork of the structure. Their names are Edward
Gortrion and Frederick Country Elliott. The former
was a bricklayer, who resided in Fox-court, Gray's Inn.
lane, and the latter was a labourer. One has left a widow
and three children totally unprovided for; and the other,
it is understood, has left a widow and four children
(pally penniless. The two bodies have been removed
to St. Martin's Workheuse, where they await a coroner's
inquest.
R,specting the origin of the disaster it has been Ea -
ti,q'tv.torily ascertained that it was owing Entirely to the
high tides which frequently occur at this season of the
year. Every precaution had, it appeared, been made to
guard against such a catastrophe; extra banks had been
made at the end of the sewer to keep the water out, but
notwithstanding, the tide rose so high as to flood the
entire arch. The men who were fortunate enough to
get out with their lives had a mcst miraculous escape;
the water being up to the knees of one, whilst another
poor fellow was nearly engulphed before he could be
rescued. The contractors to the works were Messrs.
Humphreys and Thrist, who have expressed every
anxiety to see to the faturo provision of the;poor families

ABSCONDING OF A SUPEPIN

TENDENT OF POLICE.

The town of Burnley has, within the last fortnight,
been the scene of much excitement, from the circum-
stance of a person holding a high and responsible
situation in the county constabulary, and resident in
that town, having been absent from his duties, with-
out leave, for upwards of a fortnight. It appears that
Mr. M'Cabe, the superintendent of the police force
for the higher division of the hundred of Blackburn,
had applied for, and obtained, a few days' leave of
absence, for the avowed purpose of visiting London.
This privilege expired on the 30th ult., but up to the
present time nothing whatever has been beard of him,
and his return is not now expected. On it being
known at head-quarters that the superintendent had
not returned at the time he was due, the rssistant
chid-constable, Captain Sheppard, visited Burnley,
and Captain Woodford afterwards went over to inves-
tigate the circumstance of the case. We regret to learn
that a sum of money, amounting to about 1001, given
to Hui to pay the rent of various station-houses, has
not been handed over ; also above 1001. for the wages
of constables. About 201. were in his hands belonging
to the Police Force Superannuation Fund, and 701.
received by him in his office as inspector of weights
and measures, and which he ought to have paid over
to Mr. Moore Wilson, the county treasurer. It is
also said that some tradesmen in Burnley and the
neighbourhood who have supplied the force with goods
have granted him receipts to their accounts without
having obtained the money. On the circumstances of
the case becoming known, T. B. Addison, Esq., im-
mediately gave orders for the wages of the men to be
paid. Mr. M'Cabe has left a wife and six children at
Burnley. Such an occurrence has caused much sur-
prise, es Mr. M'Cabe hes been upwards of ten years
in the office, was receiving an addition to his salary
on account of length of service, and was much re-
spected as an efficient officer. He formerly held a
commission in the British army, was afterwards an
officer in the service of the Queen of Portugal, where
he attained the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and more
recently served in Spain in General Evans's brigade.
A meeting of the magistrates of the division has
been summoned for Monday next, to take the cir-
cumstances of the case into consideration.—Preston
Chronicle.
London, England, 1850-12-17

"It 'a plain from this statement, that in the course of a very few
years, the Society has acquired a 'very large amount of business,
equallei by few of the Assurance Companies in the metropolis.
"The Directors wish to intrir,ss on the Shareholdersn the important
fact that this rapid acquisition of business is not owing to any acci-
dental cause, but has taken place uniformly throughout the whole
field of the Society's operations, showing clearly the confidence re-
posed in the Society by the public.
" It isAilaa,most gratifying to be able to report that the losses by
deaths courifig aid last year have been loss than in any preceding
year since 1844; from which it' appeara that, with the exception, of
the three first years of the Society; when tie number of policies in
force was not one-fourth of the present number, the mortality has
been less than in any other.
" The Directors have only further to state, that the Members of
the Board going out of office by rotation are Edward Doubleday,
Esq., and Robert Bentley Todd, M.D. • and the Auditors also going
out of office by rotation are James Parker Deane, D.C.L., and Mar-
tial Lawrence Welch, Esq.,' all of whom being eligible offer them-
selves for re-election.

" The Dliectors and Auditors retiring from office having been
duly re-elected without opposition, the usual vote' of thanks were
given."
Prospeetuses, containing 'very full tables of rates, forms of pro-
posal, and every other informalion, will be forwarded, postage free,
on application to any of the Society's Agents, of to the Secretary,
at the chief office, 25, Pall-mall.

GERMAN Y.

The Weiner Zeitung of the 11th states officially,
that, in consequence of the treaty concluded with
Prussia, the military preparations commanded cn the
6th instant are set aside ; and that, by order of the
EMPEROR, the Landwehr and the fourth batta-

lions are reduced to their former numerical
strength of 60 men to each company. The se-
cond frontier battalion are to march homewards,
and all the corps d'armee stationed on the frontiers
are to fall back to their former positions in the inte-
rior of the kingdom ; that as a general and regular
muster of recruits would, at all events, have taken
place in the spring, the conscription recently com-
manded is to be completed, but that only the same
complement of recruits shall remain at their standards
as are requisite to supply the place of those who go
out at the close of 1850.

RADETZKY does not return to Italy. He will be
appointed commander-in-chief of all the Austrian

farces.

The Lloyd's describes the financial situation of
Austria as desperate. This journal declares that when
hostile colours waved from the towers of Milan,
Yenice, Comorn, and Peterwardein—when the
Empire, a prey to dissensions and foreign enemies,
seemed to lie prostrate in a state of agony, that even
in those days of despair and ruin the public had more
confidence in the finances of the Empire than bas
been shown during the present crisis.
The Berlin official Lithographic Correspondenz
declares that both Prussia and Austria intend to re-
spect the independence of the smaller States.
The Bavarian Government is exceedingly dis-
pleased with Prince SCUWARTZENBURG for having
concluded the convention of Olmutz without securing
from the Diet the expenses which Bavaria has in-
curred by the occupation of Hesse. The Frank-
fort Bund has protested against the Olmutz con-
vention.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1850.

Exertion 3 of the most energetic character are being

made in all directions, preparatory to next year's Ex-
hibition. Intelligence of the progress making generally
throughout the Continent in the preparation of artistic
and industrial manufactures comes to us continually
through a variety of sources, not the least interesting
of which is contained in the Art Journal, both in its
editorial articles and its miscellaneous correspondence.
From these and a variety of other informants the
public are being almost hourly apprized of the growth
of the approaching Exposition, even at the very time
when its crystal palace is still unfinished, though
rapidly drawing towards a state of completion. Set-
ting aside, for awhile, the discussions provoked as to
the propriety or impropriety of such and such features
in the undertaking, it cannot but be interesting to
watch the exertions making in all quarters to
carry out the project on a proper scale of magnitude
and comprehensiveness. From the first moment of
its suggestion by his Royal Highness the PRINCE
CONSORT, we have been gratified to observe the unani-
mity evinced among all classes in the promotion of a
cause so eminently calculated to advance the principles
of civilization. Nor has this unanimity been restricted
to the United Kingdom. Everywhere a sympathising
rpirit of enterprise has manifested it4elf among the
nations of Christendom. From the north and from
the south the tidings have come to us of the favour
with which the entire scheme is regarded. Intima-
tions of pleasure in the prospects opened up by these
proceedings have been received alike from the
east and from the west, from the oriental
despotisms and from the occidental democracies.
Rus-sia has long since revealed the interest with
which she looks forward to the competition. Ame-
rica has cordially expressed its concurrence in the
whole of the projected arrangements. Even the in-
dustrial ambition of Portugal has been revived for the
occasion, a committee having been formed in Lisbon,
to the end that the citizens of that kingdom likewise
should participate in these glorious labours of emu-
lation.

Among the most earnest, however, of the European
races iu the work of evidencing these preparations, the
people ofßelgium appearto be,of all, about the most con-

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
There was a Ministerial crisis on the 9th. All the
Ministers had resigned, and it was at one moment
considered certain that a MON and O'DONNELL
Ministry would be appointed. NAItVAEZ had a long
conference with the QUEEN in the evening, at the
conclusion of which the Ministers withdrew their re-
signations and consented to remain in office.

Advices have been received from Lisbon to the 10th.
The dispute between the Government and the Bank
continues unsettled.

The Diario do Governo of the 9th contains the first
instructions issued by a Portuguese commission, just
nominated by Royal decree, to promote the trans-
mission of Portuguese manufactures and products to
the Grand Exposition in London. The commission
names the 30th of January as the last day it will
receive, at the great room of the Lisbon Arsenal, such
articles es are sent in. It will then select those it
thinks proper, and the Portuguese Government will
pay the transit charges to London and back to the
arsenal at Lisbon, where the owners are to receive
them again. The Portuguese Commission laments
that wines and spirits should be excluded by the re-
gulations drawn up in London, but promises to apply
to the English Royal Commissioners for an excep-
tion in favour of those principal articles of Portu-
guese produce.
