The Chairman, he considered, deserved the utmost
thanks.—(lfear, hear.) He regretted the mo•
desty of the directors would not allow them to
take the increased reward that was offered them for
their valuable services. Had he been the proposer or
seconder of the motion he should not have withdrawn
it; first, because they deserved it, and, secondly, be-
cause the society could afford it.—(l-rear, hear.)
And net only was the Chairman ably seconded by the
directors, but by the gentlemen employed in the office.
The books were excellently kept, the suggestions
made were carried out in such a kind spirit, that he
was satisfied no institution was so admirably managed.
He thought they did not go as much into the country
districts as they might, and thought it well they should
hold friendly meetings within a circuit of five or six
miles of the metropolis. The directors should adver-
tise now in the best periodicals.—(Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said he was extremely obliged for
that additional mark of their kindness towards himself,
and he must always include his colleagues The
meeting might rest assured that any hints that had
been thrown out in the course of the evening would
be attended to by the Board of Management ; but if
they did not adopt them it would be after consultation,
in which it might be presumed it had not been advis-
able to do so. He hoped that at their next annual
meeting they would Snd things going on to their
entire satisfaction.—(Applause:)
The meeting then separated.

SWITZERLAND.

Letters from Geneva of the 16th, announce the
death of the Duke of VISCONTI, who acted as Aide-
de-Camp to CHARLES ALBERT during his late
campaign.
The Revue de Geneva announces the arrest of a
person named VISETTI, who states he is a Spaniard.
lie is accused of having endeavoured to hire persons
either to assassinate IUAZZINI and other Italian re-
fugees, or to carry them by .once out of Switzerland,
and deliver them to the tender mercies of the rulers of
the Italian States. VISEITI was denounced by two
persons whom he had endeavoured to corrupt. On
his arrest, he stated he was a foreign spy, charged
with the duty of watching the Italian and French
emigrants. It is said that he has connexions with the
Piedmontese police.

The Cologne Gazette has the following, from
Berlin, of the 18th :
"It appears that the Constitution question has in
reality entered a new stadium, by the Camphausen
propositions. It is true that as yet the Government
has given no assurances of adopting them, but it is
quite evident that the Government is desirous of
coming to an under:tanding with the Chambers,
and regards the propositions of M. Camphausen
as the means to that end. We must not, how-
ever, be over sanguine in our hopes. A passing remark
of the Minister von Manteufell to one of the Repesen-
tatives would lead to the supposition that the Crown,
even should it accept the proposition., will exact further
guarantees for itself. This would bo opening another
floodgate of uncertainties, as a great number of Deputies
in both Chambers, who are willing, for the mere sake of
peace, to agree to Camphausen's propositions with a
heavy heart, would at once withdraw should the Govern-
ment attempt the slightest alteration in them."
A telegraphic dispatch, dated the evening of the
18th, states that the Second Chamber had adopted
the Bill to guarantee interest on the shares of the
railway from Aachen to Dusseldorf, and Ruhrort
Crefeld to Gladbach, as proposed by the Commission.
The German papers publish a note addressed
by the Federal Commission, at Frankfurt, to the
lieutenancy-general of the Duchy of Lauenburg,
calling upon it to suspend the legislative proceed-
ings of the Diet of the duchy until the conclusion of
a treaty of peace between' Germany and the King of
DENMARK, wbo is Duke of Lauenburg. This is the
first official document emanating from the new Fede-
ral Commission. _ .

On the Bth ult. a motion was brought forward in
the Munich Lower Chamber for a revocation of the
order which has so long placed the Palatinate on the
footing of war.

TURKEY.

Letters have been received from Constantinople of
the sth. Diplomatic relations were formally renewed
between the Porte and Russia ; on the Ist the usual
visits of ceremony were interchanged between the
Russian Ambassador and the Minister of the Porte.
The Austrian Internuncio had not resumed diplo-
matic relations, anal if the report circulated in Con-
stantinople be true, it is to be hoped that M. DE
STERNER will be at once ignominously expelled ; it is
said that he has di-patched a number of Croats (said
to be nineteen) to Shumla with orders to murder the
heads of the Hungarian revolution. Sir J. NEAL,
the British Consul at Varna, discovered and disclosed
the whole plot. The Turkish authorities seized
several of the inculpated party. Among other plans
it was proposed to furnish KOSSUTIL with facilities for
flight, and to murder him on the way.

LONDON. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1850.

The Duke of BauNswics has received " a heavy
blow and great discouragement" in the crusade on
which he has deemed it expedient to enter against
public journalism in the country which has been
selected by him as a haven of refuge, a sanctuary
against the consequences of his political position with
reference to his quondam subjects. Thanks to a consti •
tutional British JUDGE and an intelligent and indepen-
dent British JURY, the great and formidable experiment
has proved a total failure, and " the liberty of the press,"
that glorious guarantee and safeguard of the liberties of
the people, has been established on a broad and sub-
stantial basis, from which it cannot easily be shaken
or overturned. If the interpretation of that "liberty,"
solemnly and deliberately put forward by the Duke
had been received and acted on, then indesd
it would have been vox et preterea nihil—
an empty sound, a vain and figurative expression.
But it has been shown to be a great and incontro-
vertible fact—a real subsisting and substantial freedom

from all unfair and paltry restrictions that could

cramp or impede its mighty energies. The Duke
declared it to consist in " being allowed to publish
what:ever a man liked, but he must be punished for it
afterwards." Well might the able and accomplished

advocate for the defence express his unqualified asto-'

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 7.
(Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prius, aft=l. Michaelmas
Term, before Lord CAMPBELL and Special Juries.)

THE QUEEN V. CURTIS.

This was an indictment against the defendant for an
indecent assault committed on a boy, near the Mile-end-
road, on the 10th of July last.
Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. Parry and Mr. Parnell,
defended.
The details of the case were of too filthy a character
for publication.
The jury eventually, after an absence from court of
some hours, gave a verdict of Guilty.
BARKER V. LORD WARD.

This was an action to recover th;;;33 of 3,1601. for
pictures and china which the plaintiff alleged his Lord-
ship had purchased of him, but had not paid for.
The de'endant paid 9001. into court.
Mr. Crowder (with Mr. Bov,11) appeared for the plain-
tiff; and Mr. M. Chambers and another Learned Gentle.
man were for the defendant.

It appeared that the plaintiff is a collector of articles
of virtu in Piccadilly, and that on the occasion of
he sale at Stowe a person of the name of Farrer
had acted as buyer for the noble defendant. It hap-
pened that, in the month of June, 1849, through this
wiLness, Lord Ward obtained an introduction to the
plaintiff, who was the owner of a beautiful service
of Sevres china, which was sold at Messrs.
Christie to,d Manson's. That service his Lordship
eventually purchased, on the 3d or 411 of July, for 1,6001.
During Lord Ward's visit to the plaintiff's, he asked
the witness whether the plaintiff would sell the whole of
trie very beautiful collection of works of art which were

in that room in one lut? There were valuable paint-
itsgs, articles of virtu, and so forth, about the room.
Farrar made the inquiry, but the plaintiff declined to do
,o. Lord Ward then pointed out some articles which

tr, was his wish to purchase, and among these things
was a set of twelve unique chairs, but the plaintiff ex-
pressed his unwillingness to dispose of the chairs, at all
vents so long as he remained in town. Therefore
:iothing was done about the chairs. Lord Ward then
-,deeted a picture by Crevelli, " St. George and the
Driio,)n," another by Da Vinci, and several others, for
which the price was 3060/. His Lordship paid 1,0001.
~,r the Crevelli. Farrar, in his cross-examination, said
had rt cetvel five per cent. commission from the plain-
upon the amount that L. Ward had paid.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS addressed the jury for the defen-
dant, but, et its conclusion,

Lord CAMPBELL said, there really was no defence to
,he action.

The jitr, thereupon gave a verdict for the plaintiff—
Datnag,s. 3 1604 less the 1,0001. paid for the Crevell
and the 9001. paid into Court

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 7.
(Sittings in Banco.)

The Court proceeded with the new trial paper, but the
business of the day was not productive of any materials
tor a report.

ITALY,

Accounts from Rome of the 30th ult. state that
Lord PALMERSTON had addressed a sharp remon-
strance to the Papal Court on account of the unjustifi-
able manner in which Mr. HELY, a British subject,
had been expelled from Rome. The only cause of
complaint alleged against Mr. HELY was that he was
the brother in law of Dr.:Acinw.
It is said that the POPE personally was opposed to
the recent establishment of the English hierarchy,
and that he now regrets having given way to the in-
stances of the " Propaganda fide." The Anti-Popery
demonstrations in England have produced so much
alarm in the College of Cardinals that they now are
exceeding anxious to settle their differences with
Piedmont,

By a Royal decree of the 28d ult., the Provincial
and Divisional Councils of the kingdom of Sardinia
are convoked respectively for the Ist and 20th of
January next, for the formation of the budget of 1851.

that so large a sum may not lie inactive without ne-
cessity.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT AND THE
lioN. ARTILLERY COMrANY.-- On Friday night a general
meeting of the corps (~bout 3:!0) took place in the great
hall of the company's armoury, in Finsbury, for the purpose
of electing the court of assistants and other officers. More
than ordinary interest was attached to the proeeedings from
the circumstance of his Royal Highness Prince Albert inti
mating his intention of resigning the office of Captain
General of the corps in the event of the court of assistants
resisting the regulations of the Queen's warrant, and the
probability of her Majesty's Government disbanding the
regiment. At a mee, lug which was presided over by Mr.
Alderman Thompson, M.P.) a ballot was taken, and the re-
sult was the overthrow of most of the members forming the
court, and the election of others in favour of the Prince's
views. The result was hailed with great cheering.
Mr. Henri Laurent, the composer of the opera of

says : —"Dr. Sphzel, an Athtrian physician, who for
the last six or seven years has filled the office of

from the palace, with orders at once to quit Con-
ttantineple. He took his departure on Saturday by

RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA.
The Journal de St. Peterslurgh of the 24th ult.
contains the following :—" The Emperor has received
from the Commandant-in-Chief of the Army of Cau-
casus the following report, dated from the fort of
Atchkhoi, the 27th October. Yesterday we were in
march to arrive at this place, with an escort com-
posed of a detachment of the regiment of chasseurs
bearing my name, a body of Cossacks, the native
militia, and a number of the TchetcLiines who had
submitted accompanied us. The hereditary Grand
Duke was, as usual, with the advanced guard. Be-
tween Roschnia and Waleryk, his Imperial Highness
remarked a party of the enemy coming from the
Black Mountains, and directing their course across
the chain of our videttes. The Grand Duke dashed
forward to meet them with a part of the cavalry and
the native troops, and approached them so closely
that he was fired at by some of the .Tchetchenes,
wbo immediately galloped off. They were, howl ver,
pursued by the cavalry of the advanced guard, whilst
another detachment made a movement to cut off their
retreat, The chit-f of the enemy's party was killed
close to the Grand Duke. He is said to be the standard
bearer of the Naib B:ideas. and his arms were
presented as trophies to his Imperial Highness. I
confess I did not witness without alarm the rapidity
and boldness with which the Grand Duke dashed for-
ward towards the enemy, and the more so, as, being
mounted on an excellent horse, he outstripped all the
rest of the detachment. This perfectly unforeseen
incident signalised the termination of the visit of his
Imperial Highness to the Caucasus. I dare hope,
Sire, that the impression produced by this brilliant
action of your august son will be agreeable to you,
and that your Majesty will deign to gratify ail the
army of the Caucasts by decorating the valiant breast
of the Grand Duke with the insignia of the brave.
This favour will be just. I entreat your Majesty to
grant me this request. The cross of St. George of
the Fourth Class, a worthy recompense of the valour
of the Hereditary Grand Duke, will be considered
by all the troops as the most valuable reward granted
to the army of the Caucasus. The Emperor, in ac-
cordance with the proposition of the commandant of
the army of the Caucasus, has sent to the Hereditary
Grand Duke the Cross of St. George of the Fourth
Class, which Colonel Patkull, his aide-de-camp, was
charged to deliver to him."

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the gentle-
men connected with the above-named Court was held
at their office in the Guildhall. Mr. Deputy Pollock
presided.
There were present upon the occasion a large num-
ber of commissioners, and the question before the
Court, the " gas movement in the City," appeared to
excite attention, inasmuch as a large body of the
citizens were present to watch the proceedings.
The minutt•s of the former Court having been read
by Mr. Tickner, the assistant clerk, the same were
allowed to have been correctly entered.
Before the matter with reference to the gas ques-
tion was introduced,
Mr. MORRIS said, he requested the Chairman to
say, as oue of the representatives of the city of Lon-
don in the Metropolitan Court of Sewers, whether he
(the Chairman) knew anything about the way in
which it was proposed to drain the city ? Could he
(the Chairman) inform the Court what plan was to be
pursued ? (Mr. Morris) had seen a plan pro-
pounded by a gentleman of the name of Beardmore,
a civil engineer, upon the subject, which appeared to
be of much importance.
The CHAIRMAN said that at the present time he had
no answer to give to the question.
Mr. MORRIS replied that he should introduce the
subject, in consequence, at some future day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Five-and-twenty omnibus and cab summonses were
heard before Mr. Hardwick yesterday. Last week
the sitting magistrate heard and decided between sixty
and seventy summonses of the same sort. The trifling,
and in some cases doubtful character of some of the
imputed offences, namely, stopping longer than neces-
sary to set down or take up passengers, and plying for
hire in the streets, induced Mr. Hardwick, when a
case of stopping three minutes by a Hampstead
omnibus at the usual booking place was brought for-
ward, to recommend the police not to take notice of
such petty cases, but to bring some of the larger and
more decided offences only to the court. The enor-
mous number of summonses of this sort which were
weekly brought there, threw a great deal of additional
business on the court, and therefore it was necessary,
to see that cases were not brought forward to the in-
jury and inconvenienee of the public.
The police intimated that they had received orders
from the Commissioners to summon without limita-
tion or discrimination, and that was the reason they
had brought so many cases to the court.

Cotton—Confirming our last,; per Europa, of the 2d
inst., we continua our report of the market ad interim.
The sales of the 3d were 800 to 1.000 bales, at very full
and hardening prices. On the 4th we received, at 3
P at. telegraphic advices from the Hibernia at Halifax.
Prior to their receipt 3,000 bales were sold at ic. ad-
vance, consequent on the receipt of further advices of
injuries done to the crop by the hurricane on the 24th
After the receipt of the Liverpool advices of the
231 (which were !snore favourable than anticipated),
holders again advanced their rates ie. to ic., and which
was yeet -rda.y paid—the sites reaching 2,500 bales.
To-day the transactions reported on 'Change were 2,200
bales at full and hardening prices. Wo advance our quo-
tations to conform to the business doing.
Growing Crop.— We cannot yet estimate correctly the
extent of the dam age to the crop from the recent hurri-
cane, owing t) the continued irregularity and failure of
the southern mails. From the information before us we
ran speak positively of great dam Ige in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, and the northern part of Alabama. From
the interior of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas,
and Ton nFssee, we have no I ate advices, hut as the let-
ters from Mobile and New Orleans of the 28th make to
allusion to the storm, wn think the crop in the south-
west has escaped its revages. From Mobile we yester-
day evening received a telegraphic communication of the
31st ult. (six days by telegraph) as follows:—" Mid-
dling 124 e. No later news from Liverpool than 9'.h of
August. Crop continues to suffer. Forms and bolls are
shedding from continued drought on sandy lands, and
in some sections of black lauds worms have appeared."
The long crop estimators of July and August have
disappeared ; the most extreme opinion that we now
hear advanced is 2,250,000 bales, and this with many
saving clauses. As near as we can arrive at a reliable
and candid view of the subject on this side, by canvass-
ing the opinions of well-informed parties, we believe it
to be that the yield of 1850 and 1851, with a late frost,
will not vary much from that of last season, end with
an early one will fall materially short of it. Our own
opinion has been, since the lateness of the planting
season and date of bloom was fixed, and still that the
crop will, under any circumstances, be a moderate one,
but how moderate it is too early to estimate.

DENMARK.
General Krogh, the Danish Commander-in-Chief,
bas issued the following order of the day to his army.
It is dated the 13th :
" The enemy yesterday made an attack on our left
wing, between Missunde and Eckernforde, where a
part of the Ist Brigade was stationed. Their force
-being superior, Colonel von Krabbe retired upon
Missunde, where a sharp conflict took place, which
lasted for two hours. The enemy retreated, but was
followed and attacked by our troop;, who drove them
back to their former position, and took 140 prisoners.
In stating this for the information of the army, I
tbank Colonel Von Krabbe and the troops who fought
so honourably under his command, for their good
conduct and the courage they displayed during the
conflict."

THE FISHERY.

MOUNT'S BAY.—The Fortune seine has taken 200
Mids., and the Success, 200. The (hiving boats have
taken during the week about 300 hbds.
ST. IVE.i.—The boats on the mackerel fishery
during the past week have taken from 100 to 500
mackerel per night, which sold at 134. and 14s. per
hundred of six score, for the home market. The two
seines shot last week, as noticed in last week's Gazette,
both missed, it being considered that they were all
f p rats . Nothing has been done in the pilchard fishery
tither by the seines or drift boats. Since that period
the drift fish now under shipment have not been sold,
and are about to be ventured. They are calculated
to he about 550 or 560 hhds.

PORTLOE.—On the 13th Mr. J. Blarney's seine
brought in about 14 hlack, and Mr. P. Dunstan's 15
hhd.. Oa Saturday M. Luke Williams's seine
brought in 30 hhd3. ; all fine fish. Thi strong wind
has prevented the drift boats from doing much. The

THE OFFICE OF CORONER.

Mr. ARMSTRONG had a motion upon the paper with
reference to the substitution of a fixed salary in lieu
of fees, for the office of coroner, and the appointment
of a salaried medical officer to the coroner's court, but
he asked permission to postpone it until the next court
day. •
Some routine matters were disposed of, and the
court resumed the criminal business.

GERMAN Y.

Everything remains quiet in Hesse-Cassel.
The Elector of lIEssE-CAssEL arrived at Wilhems-
bad, with his Ministers, on the 16th. The authori-
ties went to pay him their compliments on his arrival.
He alighted at the Chateau of Philippsrate. M. DE
HASSENTTLUG arrived there the same evening.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Berlin
of the 16th, stating that the Prussian Government
has decided not to interfere in the affdrs of Hesse-
CassJ, unless some foreign power should first set the
example of sending troops there. In that case it
would send in troops also, not to take part either with
the ELECTOR or with the other party, but merely to
guarantee the interests of Prussia in a military point
of view. Notice of this intention has been given to
the Government of Hesse.

The King of HANOVER has declined to interfere in
the affairs of Hesse-CaEsel.

It is stated that before setting out for Hanover the
ELECTOR and HASSENPFLUG exchanged high words ;
the former was fain to give way, after HASSENPFLUG
had exclaimed, " Very well ; then let your Royal
Highness pay me, and I will go."
The Chamber of Hesse Darmstadt held a sitting
on the 16th. It was remarked that none of the
Ministers were present.
Letters from Cologne give an account of the re-
cep!ion of HAYNAU in that city. He was attended
by a guard of soldiers wherever he went, and was
al ways greeted with groans an -I hisses.
The drivers of the public vehicles one
and all refused to drive the " Austrian
Hangman," and he was forced to walk to and from
the railway station. The Cologne piper, in relating
his adventure at Bankside, and his reception by
the English draymen, says "no one pities him here."
The Augsburgh Gazette says he came to England
purposely to test public opinion, and boasted he
would show Englishmen that the "woman.fl )gger of
Hungary" and the " hsaena of Brescia" cared no
thing for what they might think of him, and would
not be intimidated. The Emperor of AUSTRIA is
about to make him a Field-Marshal ; so much for the
stories of his disgrace.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
It is said that Austria has determined to interfere
against the Duchies. The Austrian Minister says
that if the two Duchies are indivisible it would be
better to detach Holstein from Germany than to de-
tach Schleswig from Denmark.
The Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein has rejected
a proposition for conferring electoral rights on all
adult males.

THE PRISONS.

Mr. ALLEN laid before the Court the repprts of the
visiting justices of the county prisons. In the Cold-
bath-fields establishments there were 911 male and
289 female prisoners, and 19 children. The com-
mittee reported that, by the 29th instant, ample
arrangements could be made to carry into effect the
classification. In the `Vesta inster prison there were
774 prisoners (564 males and 210 females). The com-
mittee reported that when the new arrangements
come into operation the services of twenty-one male
officers will be dispensed with, and that ten additional
female officers-will be required in this prison ;. and
