T URKEY.

Respecting the disturbance iu Corinthia, we learn
that the Vizier of GRAVNIK sent thither a plenipo-
tentiary, who was to negotiate amicably with the in-
surgents. lle was well received, but the proposed
mediation terminated with the decided declaration of
the chief of the insurgents, that they would neither
now nor ever consent to pay the taxes imposed by the
VIZIER, inasmuch as they paid those stipulated by the
SULTAN ; that it was by no means their wish to rise
against the supremacy of the SULTAN; that they
were ready to return to their allegiance to the
VIZIER, but that they protested against every fresh
imposition of taxes. It is supposed that a fresh sup-
ply of troops will enable the VIZIER to act with more
decision.

PROTEST OF THE HUNGARIAN

EXILES IN AMERICA.

The Hungarian fugitives and exiles in New York
have issued a solemn protest against all the acts com-
mitted by the Austrian Government in their country.
The protest opens as follows :—" We, the under-
signed natives of the kingdom of Hungary, and of the
provinces indissolubly united with the Crown of that
country, as the only members of the nation who are
able to express themselves with perfect freedom,
and to raise their; voice for the sacred:cause of their
oppressed country, declare hereby, in the name of
God the Eternal and the Just, the Defender and
Avenger of Truth, in the face of the whole civilised
world, and under full conviction that we express the
sentiments of the whole Hungarian nation, as fol-
lows" (Here follow resolutions passed at the exiles'
meet in g).

These resolutions are sold in New York by
thousands, and are being prepared for circulation in
Europe.

EARLY INTELLIGENCE.—By the courtesy of W.
Byers, Esq., the manager of the Scottish Midland Railway,
we were yesterday aftercoon, at a quarter past six o'clock,
favoured with a copy of the fourth edition of The Sun of
the previous evening—about twenty-one hours from Lon-
don. It is almost intolerable that the same paper should,
by the present postal arrangements be delivered only on the
forenoon of the day following that on which it can be se-
cured by a railway parcel.—Aberdeen Herald.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—One day's later news
from the Cape of Good Hope informs us that the Neptune
convict ship took its departure from. the colonial waters at
eight o'clock A.M. on the 21st of February. In the evening
of that day, a general illumination took place, when the
city was never known to have presented a gayer scene. The
houses of the poor as well as of the rich contributed their
portion of light to the dazzling blaze, while the streets
were thronged with spectators gazing with rapture on the
splendid view around them.
LIVERPOOL, APRIL 18.—The Navigator, which
sailed from Buenos Ayres on the 14th February, has, after
a passage of sixty-four days, arrived in the Mersey, but does
not bring any news whatever. Freights were dull, and
business generally quiet.
LONDON HOSPITAL.—The anniversary dinner in
aid of the funds of this old and useful charity was yesterday
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate.street ; his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge ( the president) in the
chair. From his Royal Highness's appeal in behalf of the in-
stitution, it appeared that its annual expenditure amounted
to 15,00 a, while its fixed income was 10,00(1, and that con-
sequently the balance of 5,0001. bad to be raised by voluntary
subscriptions. The number of in-patients admitted during
the year was, it appeared, 4,402; of out-patients, including
accidents treated as out-patients, ; while the total
number of patients since its foundation was 925,616. After
the usual loyal toasts and the healths of the various officers
of the institution, the company dispersed.

Thomas Kilpack, the proprietor of the "American
Bowling Saloon," King-street, Covent-garden, was yesterday
tined 101. by the Court of Inland Revenue for retailing spi--
rituous liquors without a licence.

At a general meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates,
yesterday, reports were presented from the visiting justices
of the various prisons in the county, and a recommendation
male for a diminution in the staff of officials in the House of
Correction in Coldbath-fields. The proposal of the com-
mittee on county expenditure to disallow for the future all
fees to coroners for inquests held in cases where death oc-
curred from felony, and in which the perpetratar had been
apprehended, was fixed for the 30th May.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, APRIL 18.—The
market to-day was quiet, owing to cotton being more freely
offered in Liverpool yesterday and to-day. Prices were
steady at the advance asked on Tuesday. Domestics do not
part ake of the advance, and are still a drug upon the market.
On the whole, the business to-day has not been extensive,
but there was more inquiry than earlier in the week.
WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.—We
have much pleasure in being enabled to state, upon what we
deem excellent authority, that the arrangements necessary to
be made to further the formation of this noble line to Fid-
down have been all but completed, and that a very brief
space of time will elapse before the works thereon will be
proceeded with.— Tipperary Free Press.

GUANO.—An account of all guano imported into
' the United Kingdom in each of the years from 1641 to 1819
inclusive has just been published. The return called for in-
cluded the years 1838 ti 1819, but as guano was not speci-
fically charged with duty until 1841, no account of the im-
portations for those years could be rendered. The largest
quantity imported in any year during the period to which
the account refers was 283,300 tons in 1843, and the smallest,
2,881 tons in 1841. The quantity imported in 1849 was
83,438 tons. The countries furnishing the greater portion
of these imports are Peru and Bolivia, Chili, the western
coast of Africa, and the colonial territory of the Cape of
Good Hope. From Peru and Bolivia the imports have gra-
dually risen from 1,000 and 2,000 tons to 73,567 tons in
1849 ; from Chili the largest importation of guano was 11,956
tons, in 1345, since which the importation has decreased to
4,311 tons in 1849. From Africa the first importation of
guano was in 1843, when 175 tons were brought in; in 1845
the imports rose to 207,679 tons; in 1843 they were 950, and
in 1849 they were 2,045 tons. From the Cape of Good Hope
the first importations were in 1814, and amounted to 253
tons; the next year 46,848 tons were imported from this
place, and in 1849, 767 tons.

ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, HAVERSTOCK HILL,
HAMPSTEAD-ROAD.—The ninety-second anniversary of the
charity was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street; John Remington Mills, Esq., president of the
institution, in the chair, supported on his right by Sheriff
Nicoll. The musical arrangements were under the direction
of ➢ir. Genge, assisted by Masters Wheatley and Smith, Mr.
Shoubridge, Mr. Lawler, and ➢lr. Farquharson Smith, who
presided at the pianoforte. In proposing the toast of the
evening, " Prosperity to the Orphan Working School," the
chairman alluded to the presence of M. E. Ducpetiaux, in-
spector-general of schools, &c., in Belgium. M. Ducpetiaux
returned thanks, avid declared that having examined many
charitable institutions in England, he hoped that the example
set by us would be adopted throughout the civilized world.
The amount of subscriptions announced was 634/. 15s. Mr.
Higgs was the toastmaster on the occasion, who discharged
his duty with his usual judgment.

SEIKLI COINAGF.—The last symbol of Seikh supre-
macy in the Punjaub is about to pass away. The coinage of
Runjeet Singh and his successors is to be called in with the
least practicable delay, to be assayed and melted down at
Lahore, and forwarded for recoinage to Calcutta or Bombay,

FOREIGN Hors —The importations of foreie
hops continue to take place to a considerable extent frorn
United States of America, and also to a lesser extent fr°t,
Belgium, the produce of these countries, which is of inillr hs
ante, as evincing the practicability of a continuance in h,
supply of this novel article of foreign merchandise throug_,
out the year, the prevent being the first of such importatioe:
from abroad taking place. The American ship Independeger;
from New York, has brought 110 bales, consigned to ordet,
the Nautilus, from Antwerp, 5 bales; the Soho, from Als
werp, 10 bales; and the Sir Edward Bankes, from the 58
place, 15 bales of the article.
A
THE CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPAN.•-"-
deputation from the directors of this company waited Yet'
terday terday upon the trustees of the Essex and Middlesex Tl;\rto
pike roads, to present a memorial, praying to be allolveuos
pass their mains, connecting their works on Bow-conOtj,
with the City, along part of the turnpike road at the C5O el
bridge. Mr. Dakin, the chairman of the Gas Consume Company, was heard in support of the memorial, and lU,r,.
Tyrrell, on behalf of the old cas companies, opposed the di'plication. After considerable discussion, the trusteel, .g
vided, 54 voting against the-gas mains being placed 51°,41
the road, and 113 in favour of the prayer of the nlelll°.itt
being granted. If this decision is confirmed at the 0,0,
general meeting of- the trustees, it will compel the Vs c°loo
pany to adopt another line of road, for which permission,
been already obtained—only it is a little more circuit°r;
An interesting legal question will, it appears, be raised ho
the division taken on this occasion. A large number
the trustees of the turnp

ike-road are also shareholders in he
,:,he
gas companies now under contract for lighting the rood. 10
Consumers' Company being a rival company, tendefillghe
supply gas at a cheaper rate, it is contended that by tas
General Turnpike Act the trustees interested in the 01"ibty
companies were legally excluded from votiug,under a Pell"'
of 501. each.

pony took place yesterday, at the offices, Great Wmche
street, City, for the purpose of electing a director in the
room of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Frederick Hankey, Who

that this not being the general meeting, but only a apes it
one for the above-named purpose of electing a director, di,
duty would be simply to propose Mr. John Rankin $..

FROME.—Last week a young man named Tho Tis
George, about 18 years of age, was discovered lying deauco,
a barn at Nunney, near Frome, with his throat cut. "Iv
roner's inquest was consequently held on the following uh,
when an open verdict was returned to the effect t',e,
there was not sufficient evidence to prove whether the
ceased had destroyed himself or had met his death from "s.
unknown hand. Since the inquest Messrs. Giles and Cosh
surgeons, of Frome, were called in to examine the bodyt,!, A
discovered that the skull had been fractured in front
blow, and from the manner in which the wouad had bee? ibe
flicted in the throat they were decidedly of opinion that
deceased could not have committed suicide, but must bawd
been murdered. It further appeared that his pockets Po
been rifled and turned inside out, and the marks of ble°tif
fingers thereon, but the hands of the deceased were perfeely
clean. On Monday last Henry Hillier, alias Axford, „K 1
bourer, was brought before the Frome magistrates, chstr:f.
on suspicion of committing the murder, who remanded he
for a fortnight, when he will be again brought up for AO't
examination.— S/ierbourne Journal.

in the year 1830 with the beneficent object of affording gdot
tuitous medical assistance to the poor, was celebrat eke,
Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars. Sir J. Pure.
M.P., occupied the chair. At the close of an excellentto
past, and the usual loyal toasts having been drunk With,„syt
accustomed honours, the Chairman rose to propose the wdir
of the evening—" Success to the Institution whose font' bir
tion they had met to celebrate." The district embraced as
the dispensary was extremely large, the population ;it'
dense, and of such a character as to require precisely tbe
of such an institution as the present. Surrounded bytrthia
volent charities of almost every description for which

The case :of Johnson v. Squire was tried YO-ter 0,
day in the Court of Exchequer before Mr. Baron Aldersesc
It was an action of slander. The defendant had broner,
an action in the Westminster County Court against 1,30
Pierce Egan, the proprietor of the Home Circle, for articbc-
supplied to him. Johnson was a witness in the cause on el
half of Egan, and the defendant, when asked if he w"
cross-examine him, addressed him as follows:—" You or
r'
thief ; you broke into my premises, and committed a eobl?.eeilt
three weeks ago, and you keep false keys which enter Wide,
for that purpose." That cause terminated in favour of 17,..
Egan, and adversely to Squire, and soon afterwards the Ptbe
sent action was brought for the injury inflicted es tee

SOUTH-EASTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the Combh

with the consent of the railway commissioners, to introu,..
a clause for referring any possible prospective disputes
tween themselves and the South-Eastern to the arbitra,'",o
of the railway commissioners, but the Committee declined fr
insert it in the Bill.
HAPPINESS AS A MORAL AGENT.—That • ttle
gives happiness, we all know; but if it be true, that birifa,
y
ness contributes to virtue, the principle furnishes tie
tiog
some sort of excuse for the errors and excesses of able y° der
men, at the bottom of life, fretting with impatience u"ia
their obscurity, and hatching a thousand chimeras of be()
neglected and overlooked by the world. The natural earat
for these errors is, the sunshine of prosperity : as theYhrelt
happier, they get better; and learn, from thi respect ono.
they receive from others, to respect themselves. "
ever," says Mr. Lancaster (in his bdok just published), 0
met with a boy particularly mischievous, I made bite,
monitor : I never knew this fail." The cause for the Pre7,o..
tion, and the kind of encouragement it must occasion, I cLift
fess appear rather singular; but of the effect, I have no
of doubt.—Sydney Smith.
ASSOCIATE INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION
WOMEN.—The annual general meeting of this society rht
held yesterday, at the Hanover-square Rooms, the '..,gtee
Hon. Earl Talbot in the chair. The report of the commitof

opposition encountered by that measure in its progr

through Parliament, and with dissatisfaction to its prey's° to
which, in their opinion, do not afford sufficient protectionice,
female virtue. The committee, acting under legal adverse
have determined not to attempt to procure any amendril;„,
of the Act until next session. The total amount of subselit'er
