TUNIS.

A letter from Tunis of the 19th ult. states that the
cholera, which had apparently subsided, had again
made its appearance. Four or five cases had ap-
peared amongst the Jews. In the little town of
Biaerte the loss bad been considerable. A French
physieian, who had been sent there by the Bey, was
obliged to fly, the population declaring that he spread
the disease by his breath and glance. The Bey has
established a cordon sanitaire about Bizerte. But it
is not at that place alone that such an accusation was
brought against the medical men; the same was done
at Tunis when the malady was most rife, and then
almost all the patients perished, no aid being accepted.

GERMANY.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin states that the
Prince SCHWARZENBERG had addressed a dispatch to
the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin, expressing the
sincere desire of the Austrian Government to come

to a satifactory arrangement with Prussia en the
German question.
Accounts from Erfurth of the 30th ult. state that
the Committee on the Constitution of the Chamber
of the &Ives has appointed a sub-committee, com-
posed of MM. CAMPHAUSEN7 PATOW, and SYBFL, to
draw up propositions to be presented by the Com-
mittee to the Chamber. The Committee of the Peo-
ple's Chamber has charged MM. CAMPLTAUSEN,
GOLTDAMNER, and BESELER with the preliminary
revision GOLTDANINER has already made a report
on the fundamental rights.
The Augsburg Gazette announces that the sentence
of death passed on all the chiefs of the insurrection
of Dresden has been commuted into perpetual im-
prisonment, with the exception of that on the Russian
BAHOUNIN.

It would appear by the following extract from the
Grenzlote, that the Austrian Ministers find it by no
means an easy matter to manage the obstinate boy
whom they have chosen for Emperor. The Grew.:late
says—" A Cabinet Council was summoned at the
Palace, at which the EstrEnou intended to preside.
The Minister waltz-d long, hut the EMPEROR did not
appear. At length Count GRUNNE came in, and
said his MAJESTY would not attend, but had com-
missioned him, Count GRUNNE, to preside in his
place. Count GRUNNE is not only the EMPEROR'S
Aide-de-Camp, but his MAJESTY'S adviser in
all Government affairs, lie takes the lead in
that Cabinet, which subsists independently of, or
rather superior to the Ministry, whereby the War
department was convertor' into a mere administrative
bureau. This was the cause of Count GUYLAT'S de
termination to resign his portfolio, but no General
could be found to accept so anomalous a position.
Count GUTLAY is now travelling, and Count DEGEN-
FELD is conducting affairs ad interim; but the dubious
position causes many conflicts. Count GRUNNE,
however, remained in the EMPEROR'S confidence, and
on this occasion he now wished to delegate to him
the presiding in the Ministerial Council in his stead.
Prince SCHWARTZENBURG, however, was sufficiently
energetic to break up the sitting."
The Chambers of Baden were prorogued on the
27th ult.

The Wirtemburg Chambers are prorogued to the
28th April.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Copenhagen of the 26th ult. states
a notice had been placarded in the Commercial Hall,
stating that dispatches had arrived from Berlin to the
effect that the negotiations for peace were proceeding
satisfactorily.
According to an official document published by the
Prussian Government, the Danish blockade in the
recent war caused a loss of 30,000,000 thalers to
Prussian commerce.

GREE CE.

We have received Athens journals to the 18th ult.
The Courrier d'Athenes, of the 17th, has the follow-
ing :—" In the Anglo-Greek differences we have
made a step in advance during the last ten days.
The French mail steamer from Constantinople arrived
at the Piraeus on the Bth, and has brought us the dis-
patches from St. Peteraburgh which had been so im-
patiently expected. Nothing having been published
or announced to the Chambers by the Government,
relative to the arrangements of Russia, we must re-
fer to the following lines, which we read in the Mi-
nisterial journal, the Observateur d' Athenes of
the 13th inst. :—` We believe we may affirm
that powerful Russia has not hesitated to declare her-
self in favour of feeble Greece, and that the Emperor
Nicolas has already taken to hear the interests of our
country.' As to the instructions addressed to M.
Persiany, the Russian Charge d'Affaires in Greece, it
is said that they ase confined to approving fully of his
conduct, directing him to support with all his efforts
the mission of Baron Gros, and to express the regrets
of the Imperial Court that the Greek Government has
not followed the advice given it on several occasions,
and which if listened to would have spared the coun-
try its present difficultiee. This explicit condemna-
tion of the system which we have opposed fbr the
last five years is a proof that the Russian Cabinet
is well informed of what takes place in
Greece, and that it does not allow itself
to be led away by mischievous pre-occupations
which cannot but be injurious to the country. The
interpretation hitherto given of the mission of Baron
Gros in Greece does not appear to have been very
correct. It is said that this diplomatist now studies
with the greatest assiduity and attention all the docu-
ments connected with the claims of England, in order
that he may be able to give an opinion founded on
the strictest equity. This work once finished it will,
it is said, be communicated to our Government as
well as to the English Minister. Let us hope that
this means of arrangement will have a happy and
prompt result, for, if our ports are free, it must not
be forgotten that a great number of our vessels,
several of which have cargoes on board,
are still under sequestration by the English squadron,
and that so long as this deplorable difference shall
exist, those which are abroad will not find cargoes.
It is an immense loss for our shipping, particularly
at this time, when the navigation of the Black Sea is
about to open. The state of uncertainty in which we
are placed has become insupportable. Whatever may
be said by the Ministerial press, every one calls for a
speedy solution of the affair, for they know by recent
examples that our Government always ends by yield-
ing when it is already too late. The people have done
their duty by resigning itself; let the Government do
its duty by accelerating the termination of our dis-
asters.''

AINSWORTH.

" Guy Fawkes" is drawing towards its close. In
this number we read " how Guy Fawkes was put to
the torture," and the pencil of Cruikshank pour-
trays the death of Catesby. Mr. Rowsell, in some
remarks on " Common Conversation," justly censures
the common prevalence of and seeming necessity for
" white lies" in polite society. The best remedy
for such a state (,f things would surely be a little
genuine politeness, or that species of tact which Leigh
Hunt has just so admirably defined in this month's
New Monthly, as above quoted.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
MANSELL AND ANOTHER V. CRAYSTONE.

This was an action to recover the sum of 161. for goods
sold. The plaintiffs are grocers in the city, and the de-
fendant is a chemist at Chateris, Cambridge.
There was no defence to the action. The defendant
in a letter had, however, given a curious reason for non-
payment, which was, that the agreement between them
was that the first order should be paid on the second
order being given, and he intended to bind them to that
strictly, but as he did not want any more goods at pre-
sent the amount was not due, but he had often times af-
terwards promised to pay.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount.
This was the only case tried.

GALLANT CONDUCT OF THE COMMANDER. OF THE
S HARFSHOOTEE.—The following gallant act of Lieut.
13 Ailey, the commander of the screw•schooner Sharp-
shooter, deserves to be recorded. On Tuesday, the
26th ult., whilst the ship was at Portsmouth, one of
the Sharpshooter's men, who had evidently bad more
than his due allowance of grog, fell into the steam
basin, where the poor fellow would have been
drowned but for the gallant conduct of Lieutenant
Bailey, his commander, who, without hesitation,
jumped from the wharf (a height of 15 feet), and
happily succeeded, but not without considerable diffi-
culty, in bending a rope round his body, by which he
was hauled up the wall.
The Terrible, Captain J. Hope, C. 8., is to remain
at Lisbon until the return of the squadron.
Lieutenant Henry B. Hardman, second of the
Hogue, 60, screw-ship, in a fit of aberration, made an
attempt to blow out his brains, but it is supposed that
he either forgot to put the bullet in, or that it fill
out, for he only disfigured his face by the discharge
of the pistol.
The squadron was in splendid order, and a fintr
lot of ships was never seen.

THAMES.

Julia Storey alias Mary .11I'Carthy, a well-known
thief and prostitute, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with stabbing Richard Goggan.
The prosecutor, a young man, and others, were in
the Harrow public-house, High-street, Poplar, on
Tuesday night, with some others, and the prisoner
came in and insulted them, and called Goggan a son
of a -. He attempted to strike her across the
table, but failed to do so, and he then ran after her
into the passage, where there was some more wrang-
ling and tt. good deal of bad language used. The
prisoner suddenly took a knife from her pocket, and,
using a very bad oath, plunged it into Goggan's face.
lie was struck on the cheek-bone, just' under the
right eye, and bled profusely. Mr. Robertson, a sur-
geon, who dressed the wound, said it was a very dan-
gerous one, from its proximity to the eye, and that it
was a severe incised wound, an inch and a half in
length and half an inch in depth. The haemorrhage
was very considerable.
It was proved that the prisoner gave the knife to
a woman named Mary Gillman, directly she inflicted
the wound. It was recovered and produced by a
police-constable named Watkins, No. 310 K, who
apprehended the prisoner, and stated that she was a
very savage woman, who had been frequently in
custody.
The prisoner, in defence, urged that she was cut-
ting apples with a knife, when she was struck by
Goggan.

Goßan admitted that he might have struck her as
she was leaving the room, but she was not cutting an
apple, and took the knife out of her pocket.
Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial for
feloniously cutting and wounding with intent to do
grievous bodily harm.

SIKKIM.

The following letter from Darjeeling, dated the
10th of February, as given in the Calcutta English-
man of the 16th, gives the result of the late expedition
into the Sikkim territory :
" We have appropriated all the Raja's country on
this side of the Great Runjeet river, leaving him only
his barren hills, out of which he may make what he
can. No better arrangement could have been made,
as the country which is abandoned to the Raja is
unproductive, and would have been expensive to hold.
The portion retained will yield a revenue of 16,000
Co.'s rupees, and as the 6,000 annually paid to the
4aja will cease, the government will save 22,000
Co.'s rupees annually. Should any further disturb-
ance take place, it will soon be found where it
originates, as it is certain the Rsja has not the means
to act by himself, and if his friends annoy us, they
must look out for themselves. It is reported that he
accuses the Chinese as his instigators in this business,
but this is probably an excuse to screen himself. You
shall hear more in a few days."
By this arrangement the country lying between
Darjeeling and the Purneah frontier falls into the
possession of our government, and the sojourners at
the Bright Spot will no longer feel themselves insu-
lated and detached. Their apprehensions will there-
fore, it is hoped, be calmed, and they will in future
regard the Leptchas as peaceful neighbours.
Our correspondent does not make it clear
whether the boundary is to be continued
along the right bank of the Great Runjeet
to its source, or whether it follows the course of the
Little Runjeet to its confluence with its larger name-
sake. From what he says about rejecting the moun-
tain country, we suspect the latter to be the arrange-
ment ; if so the boundary will be in the valley imme-
diately north of Darjeeling, terminating to the west
at the mountain of longlo. If, on the contrary, it

GERMANY.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin states that the
Prince SCRWARZENDERG had addressed a dispatch to
the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin, expressing the
sincere desire of the Austrian Government to come

to a satifactory arrangement with Prussia on the
German question.
Accounts from Erfurth of the 30th ult. state that
the Committee on the Constitution of the Chamber
of the Staves has appointed a sub-committee, com-
posed of MM. CAMPIIAUSEN, PATow, and SYBEL, to
draw up propositions to be presented by the Com-
mittee to the Chamber. The Committee of the Peo-
ple's Chamber has charged MM. CAMPUAUSEN,
GOLTDAMNER, and BESELER with the preliminary
revision ..,M. GOLTDAMNER has already made a report
on the fundamental rights.
The Augsburg Gazette announces that the sentence
of death passed on all the chiefs of the insurrection
of Dresden has been commuted into perpetual im-
prisonment, with the exception of that on the Russian
BAKOUNIN.
It would appear by the following extract from the
Grenzlote, that the Austrian Ministers find it by no
means an easy matter to manage the obstinate boy
whom they have chosen for Dnperor. The Grenzlote
says—" A Cabinet Council was summoned at the
Palace, at which the EMPEROR intended to preside.
The Minister vvaittd long, but the EMPEROR did not
appear. At length Count GRUNNE came in, and
said his MaJESTY would net attend, but had com-
missioned him, Count GRUNNE, to preside in his
place. Count GRUNNE is not only the EMPEROR'S
Aide-de-Camp, but his MAJESTY'S adviser in
all Government affairs. lie takes the lead in
that Cabinet, which subsists independently of, or
rather superior to the Ministry, whereby the War
department was converted into a mere administrative
bureau. This was the cause of Count GuyLaT's de
termination to resign his portfolio, but no General
could be found to accept so anomalous a position.
Count GUYLAY is now travelling, and Count DEGEN-
FELD is conducting affairs ad interim; but the dubious
position causes many conflicts. Count GRUNNE,
however, remained in the EMPEROR'S confidence, and
on this occasion he now wished to delegate to him
the presiding in the Ministerial Council in his stead.
Prince SCIIWARTZENBURG, however, was sufficiently
energetic to break up the sitting."
The Chambers of Baden were prorogued on the
27th ult.
The Wirtemburg Chambers are prorogued to the
28th April.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Copenhagen of the 26th ult. states
a notice had been placarded in the Commercial Hall,
stating that dispatches had arrived from Berlin to the
effect that the negotiations for peace were proceeding
satisfactorily.
According to an official document published by the
Prussian Government, the Danish blockade in the
recent war caused a loss of 30,000,000 thalers to
Prussian commerce.

bath. But last harvest was ore
even though people sought he.,
scenes, or visisted the sick, or dustmels AMP
lations, on Sunday.
Mr.M'Micking cannily counts what Sunday wages
amount to, and puts it as a rule-of-three question,
whether it is worth while to break the Sabbath for
such small profits.
Mr. Muir takes the same sort of view, and thinks
the formidable item of damages might be retrenched
by discontinuing Sunday trains, as serious accidents
never occur on lines closed on Sunday; peradventure
because there are marvellously few miles of such
lines; but, in all human, and especially in all purl-
tanical probability,' let us observe the assertion is ut-
terly untrue.
Mr. Meikleham boasts that Sabbath observance in
Scotland is a national institution. Let us see the evi-
dence of the Scotsman upon this point :
"THE OPPONENTS OF SABBATH-BREAKING IN SCOTLAND.—A statistical friend hands Us the follow-
ing as the statistics of the Sabbath desecration he
observed on his return from church last Sunday a few
minutes before four o'clock, walking from the
west to the east of Prince's-street, Edinburgh :
Carriages waiting at Rev. Dr. Chandlish's
door, 4 ; at Rev. Mr. Drutnmond's, 5 ;
running on Princestreet, 23 ; waiting on west
stance, 8; on east stance, 13 ;in all, 53. But,
as (to
say nothing of our informant having been a few
minutes too early to see the full extent of the iniquity
at the door of Free St. George's and St. Thomas's)
he did not pass until the doors were closed at St.
John's, where there are seldom fewer than a dozen
carriages, and as he forgot to take a peep at the West
Kirk, additions must be made, bringing up the num-
ber to 70, which, allowing for two-horse conveyances
and for footmen, gives the total number of men and
horses at about 80 ! And these, too, employed at
least four times in the day, that is, setting down, and
taking up at each of the two services ; almost all of
them, in fact, being virtually employed all day; and
that day, as it happened, a bright and settled one,
affording no excuse in point of weather. Eighty men
and horses employed in a single day for the purposes
of mere ostentation, with the cognizance and mainly
for the use of the very men who embitter public and
social life in Scotland by their clamours against the
labour, comparatively of small amount and unobtrusive
quality, required to maintain postal communication
and the means of locomotion on the highways of the
country.—The Scotsman."
We recommend Mr. M'Micking to inquire whether
equipages not used on Sunday are exempt from the
accidents to which profane horses and carriages are
liable.

WIND-NUMEROUS

ACCIDENTS.

Last night, about nine o'clock, the metropolis was
visited by a violent gale from N.N.W., which continued
throughout the night, and up to twelve o'clock this day,
with scarcely any abatement, accompanied at intervals
with heavy rain. Large branches were torn from the
tile: at Camberwell, Dulwich, and Norwood, and the
wooden fences in various places were thrown down.
Many of the streets were strewed with broken chimney-
pots, slates, coping-stones, &c. In George-street, Cam-
berwell, two stacks of chimnies were blown down. At
No. 7, Walworth-road, near the Elephant and Castle,
two large chimney stacks were destroyed. In Fleet-
st.-eet, at Honey and Skeltoli'9, the hair-di essors, a part
of the side of the house which projects from the a--
joining house, was blown completely into the attic.
About ten o'clock this morning, a coloured gas lamp,
value about twenty guinear, was blown from over the
door of Messrs. Paget', tea-dealers, corner of Charlotte-
stree', Blackfriars-road, and fell with a tremendous
crash; Boers' persons were passing, who, fortunately,
escaped without injury. On the ground of the New
River Company, adjoining Sadiers-wells Theatre, an
enormous elm tree, which bad stood for upwards of 60
years, was completely uprooted, and in falling forced
out a great portion of the wall enclosing the grounds.
At Rotherhithe numerous small boats were driven from
their moorings, some of which were not recovered until
completely stove in or seriously damaged. The whole
of the mail trains which travelled during the night were
so delayed in their progress, by the violence of the gale,
as to Le unable to ri toll town within an hour of their
usual time.

Mr. ANDERSON gave notice (..f his intention on an

Mr. MONSELL wished to ask his Right Honourable
Friend the Secretary for Ireland whether it was his in-
tention to make any statement on the psrt c.f. the Go-
vernment relative to the course that had been pursued
in the Kilrush Union? He thought it would be most
desirable that some statement should be made on the
subject, in order that tho matter might come formally
befora the HousP. •
Sir W. SOMERVILLE admitted the unfortunate
condition of the Kilrush Union, but ho was not pre-
pared at that moment, on the [art of the Government, to
make any statement to the House.
