LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1860.

A better augury of the success likely to attend the
grand international Exhibition of Human Industry
in 1851 could not by any possibility have been
afforded than that which yesterday imparted interest
to the magnificent hospitality of the Chief Magistrate
of the British metropolis. Assembled together for
the purpose of forwarding the project now in prepa-
ration, the illustrious guests of the LORD Mlyott of
London gave, by their presence last evening in his
official residence, by the cordiality of their eulogies
upon the undertaking, and by the complete unani-
mity of their sentiments, the best assurance that the
effort would in no respect prove futile, either in re-
ference to ourselves or to the other nations of Christ-
endom. An inaugurative banquet conducted through-
out with more complete good feeling, or charac-
terised by more sumptuous munificence, could
not have been given in any other capital, or
in , any preceding generation. The assembly,
like the circumstance in which it bad originated,
was altogether appropriate to the age, the country,
and the occasion. It comprised almost all the prin-
cipal celebrities in her MAJESTY 'a dOMiniiloitnasr,ypeaenrds
and commoners, civilians and statesmen, m
naval commanders,' as well as ecclesiastical dignita-
ries, men of science and of letters, municipal magis-
trates and foreign ambassadors. Local interests were
suddenly subordinated to the interests of an enter-
prise altogether cosmopolitan in its nature and ten-
dencies. National predilections were contemned and
forgotten in the general solicitude to forward an un-
dertaking so eminently calculated to ensure an uni-
versal and permanent pacification. Party politics
were eschewed, and the energies of rival factions
directed simultaneously to the realisation of the same
object--an object associated with th© prosperity of the
entire population. The glory of having ori-
ginated this beneficent movement it cannot
very speedily be forgotten is due exclusively
and directly to the illustrious Consort of our
SOVEREIGN. Nor did the recollection of this cir-

LITERATURE.

REVELATIONS of the LIFE of PRINCE
TALLEYRAND. Edited from the Papers of his
Private Secretary, M. Colmache.
A beautiful reprint of this most agreeable biography
has just emanated, in the form of a second and cheaper
edition, from the
.establishment of Mr. Colburn—a
reprint testifying at once the popularity of the work
and the enterprise of the publisher. According to the
present arrangement the two volumes, which on their
first appearance we commmended for their brilliant
style and anecdotal attractiveness, are here condensed
into one, comprised within the compass of 375 beau-
tifully printed pages octavo, including the extracts
from the MSS. of Prince Talleyrand, and adorned
with an engraving of the great diplomatist prefixed
as a frontispiece. Having already carefully ana-
lysed the merits of the work as a biographi-
cal composition, we have now only occasion
to remark upon the compactness and com-
pleteness of the second edition just issued. That
the first edition should have been so speedily ex-
hausted is, to us, no matter of surprise whatever, fa-
miliar as we are with its sparkling manner and
striking reminiscences. In its present improved and
and condensed form the " Revelations" cannot fail to
be enhanced in fascination, from the circumstance
that the mystery of its authorship is at length solved,
the solution appearing in a " Note to the Second
Edition," the announcement being thus worded :--
" It seems scarcely necessary to observe, that the
young diplomatist and Mona. C. (Colmache) are one
and the same person, the former having been intro-
duced for the sake of disguising the real author, a
step which is no longer neccessary." In consequence
of this 'revelation, in regard to the " Revelations,"
the witty memoirs of Talleyrand, by Colmache, have,
at length, the additional and crowning advantage of
being authenticated.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has in-
troduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESv;RIPTION of AR riFiciAL
TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per.
fectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the
originals by the closest observer ; THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE
COLOUR or DECAY, and will be found very superior to any Teeth
ever before used. This method does not &mire the extraction of
roots or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth
that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and masti-
cation ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within re. ch
of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale
possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.

CHINA.

(From the Overland Friend of China of the 30th Jan.)
During the past month the weather has been cold,
damp, and cheerless. A sad accident, which deprived
society of one of its brightest ornaments, led to the
postponement of the races and other projected gaieties
which in this climate are so beneficial to the European
constitution, impaired, more or less, by the excessive
heat of the summer months. We allude to the death of
Mr. W. F. Gray.

—.. ... -.--..„.
Public attantion is directed to contemplated changes
in the Legislative Council—to the proposed formation of
a town council, and to recent legislation.

The Chinese have delivered t.) the Macao authorities
the head and hand of their late Governor. For parti-
culars we rofer to the supplement.
Canton and Shanghai markets are satisfactory. The
sales of imports are large, at improved rates.
From the outports there is no news of importance.
With the exception of Canton and Shanghai, there is
little intercourse with the five ports. Ningpo and Foo-
chow-foe are little more than missionary stations.
Recently a British merchant settled at the latter port, to
give it a trial; at the former port there used to be two or
three agents, but for some time back there has been only
one.

GERMAN Y.

The Prussian Minister MANTEUFFEL left Berlin on
the 19th for Erfurth, to be present at the opening of
the German Parliament. The President Da SPIEGAL
has been named to take possession of the Hohen-
zollern principalities in the name of Pru'sia.
Sentence has just been passed by the Court of
Assize upon the former Burgomaster of Spandau,
Mr. ZIMMERMANN, who was accused of having fol-
lowed the National Assembly of Frankfort, of which
he was a Member, to Stuttgard. He was declared
guilty of high treason, condemned to twelve years'
imprisonment ; to the forfeiture of all civic rights and
the Prussian cockade, to the deprivation of his office,
and to twelve years' surveillance.
The Assembly of Wurtemburg, which was oponed
on the 15th by the KING, and was elected to revise
the Constitution, was formally constituted on the
16th. M. Schoder, chief of the democratic party,
was elected President, by 44 votes against 15 given
to M. Roamer, chief of the liberal party. In taking
possession of the chair M. Schoder made a speech,
in which he glorified the Constitution drawn up by
the Constituent Assembly of Frankfort, attacked the
great Governments of Germany, and declared that the
recent alliance of Bavaria, Saxony, and Hanover,
would no more lead to a solution of the German
question than that of Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover
had done. As the majority of the Assembly enter-
tains the extreme democratic opinions of its President,
a dissolution is considered inevitable.

At Berlin, on the 18th, the anniversary of the re-
volution, the democratic chiefs issued proclamations to
the people to be calm, and recommended them to re-
frain from visiting the cemetery where the victims of
the barricades are interred. The democratic journals
appeared with black borders. Precautions for the
preservation of order were taken by the authorities,
but there was no disturbance.

The formal recal of the Prussian Envoy for
Hanover, in consequence of the retirement of Hanover
from the treaty on the restricted Federal State, is
now officially confirmed by a circular, addressed by
the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Prus-
sian representatives at the German Courts. The
Prussian Government has published the reply of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the notification of
Hanover of her withdrawal from the treaty. In this
document the Minister characterises the proceedings
of Hanover as " unexpected and unjustifiable," and
says plainly that the " maintenance of friendly rela-
tions depends on the conduct of Hanover."
General FIAYNAU published at Pesth, on the 10th,
a notification that the honveds who bore arms against
Austria after January 5, 1849, shall alone be hence-
forth incorporated in the Austrian army.

FRANCE.

In the Assembly on Wednesday, the clause of the
Stamp Act imposing a stamp duty on sales of stock was
passed by a majority of 400 to 232, notwithstanding
the opposition of MM. Fould, Posy, and Bangor, the
latter of whom exposed the impolicy of the taxes by
observing, that when the State wanted a loan and
issued paper, if it burthened it with a stamp at its
negotiation, it must depreciate that paper, and undergo
a loss much more considerable than the profit expected
to be derived from the new tax.

In consequence of the known intentions of the
Government to introduce a Bill for the increase of
the deposit money, and the imposition of a stamp duty
on newspapers, the directors of the principal journals
of Paris had an interview onWednesday morning with
the Minister of the Interior, with the view of dis-
suading him from carrying into effect the project re-
lative to the stamp duty.
The Minister replied to their observations, that he
should re-consult with his colleagues, and take their
opinion on the representations made to him by the
d rectors. He thought it right, however, to add that
the Bill both for the increase of caution money, and
the importation of a stamp duty was already
prepared.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Sir Edward Lytton's interesting play, The Lady of
Lyons, which was made by Miss Helen Faucit, and
which in return made her, was revived here last
evening, Miss Helen Faucit resuming her original
character of Pauline, and Mr. G. V. Brooke sustaining
(for we believe the first time before a metro-
politan audience) the part of Claude Mel-
notte. The character of Melnotte tests the judg-
ment of the actor more closely than many others
which have a higher dramatic rank. Although the
author, with his singular constructive skill, has
wrought up the general action and sentiment of the
piece to the romantic pitch, the character of Claude
verges on the improbable ; and the contrasts and me-
lodramatic points presented by it suggest temptations
to an indulgence in stage effect that are not easily
resisted. The good taste and tact of the impersonator
are drawn upon rather than his more ready and superfi-
cially attractive histrionic powers. In this respect
Mr. Brooke's performance of last evening was
really very masterly, conceived with much discrimi-
nation and intelligence and in a healthy spirit, and sus-
tained with dignity, feeling, and impressiveness. If
in some part there was, by comparison with other
embodiments, a want of passionate force, on the other
hand there was no exaggeration, but a natural ease
and a manly sustentation. Dignity of bearing, as
we have already had occasion to remark, is one of the
merits of Mr. Brooke as an actor ; and this rare stage
quality is eminently displayed by him in this imper-
sonation, which, as a whole, is certainly calculated
to justify the good opinion of his admirers, and ad-
vance his reputation as a dramatic artist. The Pau-
line of Miss Helen Faucit is one of those finely-
chiselled creations which charm alike the critical and
the impulsive. It needs no new praise ; unless it be
indeed that we notice with pleasure in this gifted
lady, on her return to us after so long an absence, a
palpable desire to correct that mannerism and exag-
geration which formerly tainted with affectation her
acting, naturally so nobly conceived, so truly femi-
nine, so delicately shaded, and so impassioned. The
play throughout was well rendered, and it was deser-
vedly successful.

FRANCE.

A letter from Lorient, of the 28th ult., states that
a bottle, carefully sealed, was picked up on the pre-
vious day on the coast of Plouhinez, in the Morbihan.
It contained a card on which was written, in pencil
—"Steam-ship Atlantic. Name, Jonathan Welsh.
Ten days out."
The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 30th ult.,
publishes the following notice, issued by the Chamber
of Commerce of that city :
" The Chamber informs the merchants that, in virtue
of a ciecisior, adopted on the 23d of November, by the
Supreme Director of the Board of Palermo, vessels ar-
riving from France and Gibraltar shall be admitted to
Ire pratique, provided they do not carry any Brazilian
article on board. Vessels arriving from Malta shall be
subjected to a quarantine of from seven to fourteen I
days. 'lbis decision has been announced to the Chamber
of Commerce by the Consul of France in Sicily, in a
letter dated 25th in,t."

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)
CRAWFORD V. COCKS, AND OTHERS.

Sir Frederic Thesiger appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Watson and Mr. Lush for the defendants.
The action was brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman
possessed of large estates in Scotland, against Messrs.
Cocks and Biddulph, the bankers, to recover the sum of
434/. 10s. 6d., the amount of several payments which he
alleged had been made out of his private account to a
person named Caulfield, without his authority. The
matter in dispute arose on some executory transactions
as far back as January, 1839, while the plaintiff was
absent abroad, and the action had been delayed to the
present time to enable the plaintiff to pay off a mortgage,
which the defendants bad on his estates, and which they
threatened to use as a set•cff against his claim.
At the conclusion of the opening statement of Sir
Frederick 1 hesiger,

Mr. Reginald Cocky, a member of the banking firm,
was called, and he stated that two of the de'endants had
become connected with the firm since 1841, and that one
of the old partners had died.
The CLUES BARON said it was his opinion that the two
new partners could not legally be made responsible for
transactions which had happened long before their con-
nexion with the bank, and they ought not to have been
included among the defendants in the action. He
should, therefore, direct the plaintiff to be nonsuited.
Nonsuited accordingly.

the people of Ireland bear allegiance to Queen Victoria?
Let me answer this question by another. If, in fact,
Catholics bear a divided allegiance—ii by their
as we hear, they really give one-belt of their obedience
to the Pope—if this be a teeat of their faith, how, I ask,
is their allegiance affected or diminished by the nominal
distribution of England into Catholic sees? Let us,
if we will, fulminate an Act of Parliament against the
Catholics—does any one suppose that their faith will
be in the slightest affected thereby? We can-
not make people loyal by Act of Parliament; we
cannot, by excluding certain names, keep out
the doctrines of the Catholic religion. But what we
can do is to keep up religious dissension; we may make
the empire a divided empire; we may bend Protestant
against Catholic, England against Ireland, and to you,
my Lord, posterity will refer as the ma❑ who, just when
the real difficulties were conquered—when, by the united
and continuous labours of our grea'est statesmen, the
law had become just, and peace and good will were
about to be established, took advantage of your great
position to rouse up the spirit of strife and hate among
us, to quicken into active life the demon of persecution,
and to rend asunder a great empire, which, but for your
fatal interference, would soon have become firmly united,
peacelul, and prosperous. A melancholy distinction
tbis, my Lord, for one who ail his life has styled him-
self the friend of religious as well as civil freedom!
Your common sense must long since have been shocked
at the wretched fanaticism you have evoked, and which,
unfortunately, you will find a spirit beyond your power
to la,y.

I remain, my Lord, your obedient sprvant,

Accounts from Berlin to the Ist have been received.
On the previous evening MANTEIIEFEL returned
from Olmutz, and on that day a Cabinet Council was
held at Potsdam, at which it was determined to accept
the arrangement agreed upon at Olmutz. It is confi-

In the Second Chamber of Prussia, on the 29th ult.,

KAMEN confined himself to replying in the name of the
Government that the expulsion of Dr. HAYNE was a
personal measure, which implied no system of rigour
against the press ; that the editor of the Constiutional
GovernmentGa
binga no right of citizenship at Berlin, the
d full right to expel him ; and that the
ze t Gazette having
provisional ordonnance of the sth June on the press
would be submitted to the Chambers with the new
Bill on the same subject. The signers of the inter-
pellations were satisfied with these explanations, and
the Chamber adjourned to the 3d December.
Accounts from Vienna lire to the 29th. A decree
has been issued by the Government strictly prohibiting
the operations of the stock-jobbers to depress the

A reserved camp of 30,000 men is concentrating at

that he is much displeased with M. DE HASSENPFLUG.
Elections for a new Diet have taken place in Hesse.
From Munich we learn that the martial enthu-
siasm is fast evaporating since it has become known
that the Austrian occupation of Bavaria en-
' tails an expense of 10,000 florins per diem on
that kingdom. The feelings of apprehension which
have thus been awakened are still further strength•
ened by the news from Franconia, where all the
stores of provisions have been consumed by large
masses of auxiliaries. The Austrian troops (viz.,
the Vorarlberg corps), or at least part of them, are
now preparing to advance into the interior of the
country. Nordlingen has for some time past been
the head-quarters of the Archduke LEOPOLD, and
the KolnerZeitussg, from which we take these details,
mentions the probability of both Augsburg and
Munich receiving garrisons of Austrian troops.
It is stated that the Estates of the Kingdom of
Hanover will be convoked about the middle of

THE Hor DUTY —Wednesday week was the day
appokted for the payment of the last moiety of the hop duty
or 1843 and ltq9. 'the inland revenue officers had
their sitting at the Cinque Ports' Arms Hotel, Rye, where,
about noon, a considerable number of hop-growers had as-
sembled, and it was evident that they keenly felt the harsh
measure of the Government in requiring the moiety of the
1848 duty, knowing, as the Government must do, that a con-
siderable portion of the produce of that year was worth but
little more than the duty, to say nothing of the expense of
cultivating, picking, drying, warehousing, &c., of that crop.
With four exceptions, we understand that the duty of 1848
was not paid, notwithstanding the intimation of legal pro-
ceedings on the part of the officers of the Crown ; but we
take this orport unity of stating that this result arose en-
tirely from the want of means to meet the demand, and
unless a sacrifice had been made in the capital of the farmer
to a frightful extent in this neighbourhood. Should the
Government persist in enforcing the duty of 1848, the result
to all classes in this district will he distressing, and in some
instances ruinous. To the poor and labouring population
one of the worst winters for years will be experienced, and
the result must Le the disorganisation of society and an in-
crease of the poor-rates. With the Government must rest
the consequences of enforcing from an already impoverished
district'npwards of 20,000/. where nothing has, in fact, been
produced for it as an equivalent, and where, during the last
two years, capital and labour have been unprofitably absorbed
by uaremunerating produce and oppressive taxation.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 3.
(Sittings in Branco.)
POWELL V. LIOYLAND.

This was an action ',in trover for certain bills of ex-
change. A verdict was found for the plaintiff. A rule
had been obtained culling on the plaintiff to show cause
why there should not be a new trial, on the ground
that there was no evidence to go to the jury of a con-
version.

Mr. WELSBT and Mr. ATHERTON now showed cause.
Mr. PULLING, in support of the rule, contended that
the plaintiff voluntarily parted with the bills, and that
the fact of his having been induced to do so by a mis-
taken representation was immaterial.
The COURT took time to consider.

THE MAGAZINES.
BLACKIVOOD.

A capital jeu d esprit 6f a ph:tic:al Mad adorns the.
paps of E/ackwood for December. The notion is
taken from the history of Guido Fawkes, and refi,rs

to the circumstance of Tresham having been the
one of the conspirators to roil the powder into the
cellars of the Houses of Parliament—that very
Tresham who afterwards peached against his accom-
plices. The purport of the joke may he caught
from the "moral" comprised in the two concluding
stanzas :

"If you, dear youth, are bent on truth
In these degenerate days,
And if you dare one hour to spare
For aught but Roman Lays;'
If, shunning rhymes, you read the Times,
And search its columns through,
You'll find perhaps that Tresham's lapse
Is matched by something new.
"Our champion John, with armour on,
Is ready now to stand
(For so we hope) against the Pope,
At least on English land.
• 'Gainst foreign rule and Roman bull
fight, and surely win.
Ent—tarry yet—and don't forget
WHO ROLLED THE POWDER IN!"
Another instalment of Sir I3ulvver Lytton's deliglat-
ful " Novel" familiarises its readers more with one or

two of the principal characters, more especially with
Giacomo and Riccabocca. Randal Leslie, moreover,
becomes better known, and with some peculiar be-
ings perhaps better liked than before; while good
parson Dale preaches us a long sermon on the text,
" For every man shall bear his own burden," taken
from Galatians. A sermon by Bulwer will of itself,
we opine, be a sufficient curiosity in its way to ensure
for it a very extensive perusal. And that perusal
will not prove fruitless, the sermon inculcating a
beautiful morality. Exquisite is our great author's
allusion to the apology made so touchingly by Oliver
Goldsmith for not entering the priesthood, to the
effect that he did not feel himself good enough.
" Thy Vicar of Wakefield, poor Goldsmith," he ex-
claims, " was an excellent substitute for thee ; and
Dr. Primrose, at least, will be good enough for the
world until diss Jemiuna's fears are realised." An
article on " Ancient and Modern Eloquence," takes in
one comprehensive view the whole mass of rheto-
ricians. It is an essay of remarkable beauty, and
reveals no little erudition. Mr. Laing's " Observa-
tions on Europe" are subsequently passed under cri-

ticism; and this is followed by "A Lecture on
Journalism, by an Old Stager," full of a quiet and
humorous sarcasm. " The; Great Unknown ; a Jest
from the German," will be read with interest in
Scotland, and found entertaining also with the gene-
rality. "Duelling" is the subject of the third instal-
ment of the series entitled " Modern State Trials,"

,nd a contribution relating to the " Defences of Great
Britain" contains a review of the last remarkable
work of Sir Francis Head. The whole number,
which, taken altogether, is of more even than ave-
rage excellence, is brought to a conclusion by a
paper, entitled, " Tfie Popish Partition of England."

17 A NOVEL.

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly ace displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story ar, dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. Tha writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nersz:s, and Srnythes."—Observer.

" .ilwood' is no ordinary work ; It contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It Is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has projuced. 01 the cha-
racter of 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 conspicuons 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 all."—Morning Post.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Henry Barber, a young man of respectable ap-
pearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Haminill,
charged upon suspicion of having been concerned with
others not in custody in breaking into the premises of
Mr. John Smith, an extensive trimming manufac-
turer in Charlotte-street, Bethnal-green, and stealing
silks,
,Pwellery, and other property, to the aggregate
amount of nearly 1,500/.
The prosecutor, who evidently laboured under
strong excitement, stated that between seven andeight
o'clock on the preceding evening he left home, having
previously cart fully secured his premises, and re-
mained absent till about half-pest ten o'clock, when
upon approaching his house he was stopped by an
opposite neighbour, who intimated his suspicion that
the premises had been broken into and plundered
by thieves. On reaching the house he found his
street-door wide open, together with the ware-
heuse door at the side of the passage, and, upon exa-
mining the place, he found everything in tFe greatest
disorder ; and that 4 cwt. of dyed silk, 2,000 bob-
bins of unwrioight silk, and about 8001. worth of
fringes had been carried away. He then proceeded
to the upper part of the house, and, on ent.- ring his
bed-room, in which a large chest was deposited con-
taining valuable jewellery and other articles, which
he had purchased in the course of his business he
found that the lid had been forced open, the hinges
having been wrenched off, and that it had been plun.

TV E 57',21.11V STE R.

Robert Waller, the driver of a mail-cart, who had
been three or lour times remanded, charged with
stealing 16 sovereigns from Mrs. Allen, of the Gros-
venor Arms, Lower Bdgrave-place, was again
brought before the magistrate.
The particulars of the previous examination have
been already fully detailed in The Sun.

Mr. ChiLae, or the firm of Wire and Chide, soli-
citors to the Licensed Victualltrs' Protection Society,
attended, as before, for the prosecution.

Upon the accused being brought into court,
Mr. 13ualtuLL inquired of Mr. Childe whether he
had any further eviience to adduce? Mr. Childe
replied, none but what he had mentioned on the pre-
vious examination, and which he submitted was suffi-
cient to raise a fair presumption that the prisoner con-
templated a felony at the time he proposed to get the
change.
Mr. BURRELL was of opinion that it raised a con-
trary presumption, and said he must discharge the
prisoner.
Mr. Childe observed, that after the expression of
the magistrate's opinion it would be indecorous in
him to attempt to press his view of the matter further,
but it was a matter of lamentation that the law was
so defective. He would, however, respectfully ask,
that as the grand jury would be sitting on Monday at
the Old J3ailey, the magistrate would require the ac-
cused to find bail for his appearance at this court on
any convenient day about the middle of the week, in
order that an opportunity might be afforded of ascer-
taining whether they would not find a true bill against
the prisoner upon this charge.
r. BURRELL said be did not consider that he was
entitled to do that, but it was open for him to exhibit
an indictment against the prisoner, if he thought fit.
As the accused was leaving the dock Mr. BURRELL,
addressing him, observed—Although discharged, you
are still under the same moral obligation to pay back
this money.

Tne Prisoner—l assure your worship it would not
have happened if I had not been drunk.
With this remark he walked out of the court with-
out attempting to offer any terms to the unfortunate
widow for the repayment of the money with which—
relying upon the responsibility of the post he held—
she had unhesitatingly entrusted him.

The Genoa Gazette, of the 6th instant, contains the
following from Venice :—" The Minister of Commerce
had formed, at Venice, a committee composed of
members of the municipal council, merchants, officers
of the army, and functionaries of the administrative
and financial departments, to inquire into the practi-
cability and expediency of transferring the free port'
from the island of St. George ta, that of St. Lucie, in
order to connect it more directly with the railroad
station. The committee had unanimously recognized
the utility of the project."
