GERMANY.

The Weiner Zeiiung of the 11th states officially,
that, in consequence of the treaty concluded with
Prussia, the military preparations commanded on the
Pith 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 1840.

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

The Lloyd's describes the financial situation of
Austria as desperate. This journal declares that when
hostile colours waved from the towers of Milan,
Tenice, Comorn, and Peter wardein—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 has
been shown during the present crisis.
The Berlin official Lithographic Correspondcnz
declares that both Prussia and Austria intend to re-
spect the independence of the smaller States.
The Bavarian Government is exceedingly dis-
pleaied with Prince SCHWARTZENIURG 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 Olmuts con-
vention.

THE MARYLEBONE BANQUET.
DRAWN BY C. COMPTON.

A clever picture of the Marylebone Banquet,
painted by an ingenious young artist, Mr. Compton,
has recently been published in the form of a large
and spirited lithographic engraving by N. Ploszczyn-
ski. Several of the most prominent of the Liberal
Members of Parliament are conspicuous near the
chairman, Sir Benjamin Hall—men such as John
Williams, M.P. for Alncclesfield ; Lord Dudley
Stuart, M.P. for Marylebone; Ralph Osborne, M.P.
for Middlesex; James Wyld, M.P. for Bodmin ; and
G. Thompson, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets. Every one
interested in the cause of democracy both among
ounelvcs and throughout Christendom mast ex-
perience some satisfaction in witnessing the commemo-
rative record here given cf this congenial demonstration.
Mr. Compton, the artist, aided by Mr. Ploscaynzski,
has contrived to perpetuate pictorially the recollection
of the banquet of the Ist of December, 1847, a ban-
quet in celebration of the return of John Williams,
Esq., for the Liberal borough of Macclesfield.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1850.

Exertions 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 Joisrmil, both in its
editorial articles and its miscellaneous correspondence.
From these and a variety of other informants the
public are being almost hourly apprised 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 civilinsticn. Nor has this unanimity been restricted
to the Unit€ d Kingdom. Everywhere a sympathising
spirit of enterprise has manifested itself 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.

THE FRIGHTFUL SEWER ACCIDENT

LATEST PARTICULARS.-RECOVERY OF TWO

BODIES.

MONDAY NIGHT —The whole of the men were ac-
tively engaged during the afternoon in pumping the
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 the lifeless bodies of two poor felloss, who
had been engaged during the forenoon in forming the
brickwork of the structure. Their names are Edward
Gormon 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
equally penniless. The two bodies have been removed
to St. Martin's Workhouse, where they await a coroner's
inquest.

it-specting the origin of the disaster it has been sa-
tisfactorily 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 most 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 future provision of the;poor

A FUNERAL AFTER SIR JOHN

MOORE'S.
(From Punch.)
Not a mute ono word at the funeral spoke,
Till away to the pothouse we hurried,
Not a bearer discharged his ribald joke
O'er the grave where our " party " we buried.
We buried him dearly with vain display,
Two hundred per cent. returned,
Which we made the struggling orphans pay,
All consideration spurning.
With plumes of feathers his hearse was drest,
Pall and hatbands and scarfs we found him;
And he went, as a Christian, unto his rest,
With his empty pomp around him.
None at all were the prayers we said,
And we felt not the slightest sorrow,
But we thought, as the rites were perform'd o'er
the dead,
Of the bill we'd run up on the morrow.
We thought, as he sank to his lowly bed,
That we wish'd they cut it shorter,
So that we might be off to the Saracen's Head,
For our gin, and our pipes, and our porter.
Lightly we speak of the " party" that's gone,
Now all due respect has been paid him;
Ahl little he reck'd of the lark that went on

- - -
Near- the spot where we fellows had laid bim.
As soon as our sable task was done,
Not a moment we lost in retiring;
And we feasted, and frolick'd, and poked our fun,
Gin-and-water each jolly soul firing.
Blithely and quickly we quaff'd it down,
Singing song, cracking joke, tellieg story;
And we shouted and laughed all the way up to town,
Riding outside the hearse in our glory

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN FRANCE AND
ErzoLszto.—The concession signed by Louis Napoleon
and the Minister of the Interior, M. Dufaure, granting
to Messrs. J. Brett, Tocbil, and Co., the right to establish
an electric telegraph line between France and England
by a sub marine communication across the Channel, ar-
rivel in town on Monday. The company propose to
establish, by means of the electric telegraph, an instant
communication between the two countries. The patentee
guarantees that this telegraph shall, by the aid of a single
wire, and of two persons only (the one stationed in
France, and the other in England), be capable of print-
ing, in clear _Roman type (on paper), 100 messages, of
fifteen words each, including addr,sses and signatures,
all ready for delivery in 100 consecutive minutes.
The architect holds just now but a poor place in
public opinion, and the profession have Themselves, in a
great measure, to thank for it. At one time a poet felt
obliged to say, that—

When a stately pile we raise,
You never hear the workman's praise
Who used the lime and worked the stones,
But all give praise to Inigo Jones."
Now, however, both workman and architect are in the
same position. When a church is consecrated, a theatre
opened, alms-houses inaugurated, or a new school finished,
the " liberal proprietor." or " active committeeman," who
gives the breakfast, stands a much better chance of being
named to the world next morning than he who, with
thought and labour (more or less, it must be admitted),
has imagined and parried out the structure,--Builder.

STRASBURGR AND BASLE.

------- ------ ----- -----
The general meeting of the company has just been
held in Paris. _

The report stated, from the satisfactory conclu-
sion to a recent transaction, the financial position of
the company was greatly improved. The Mulhouse
and Thann Company will for the future receive the
sum of 55,000 f. (2,2001.) annually, and the surplus of
the receipts up to 100,000 f. (4,0001.) will belong to
the Strasburgh Company, which will besides have the
advantage of the regulation of the trains. The further
sum of 155,000 f. (6,2000, will be divided between the
two companies.
The ratification of this proposal being put to the
meeting, it was approved of unanimously.
It was not expected that the line from Paris to
Strasburgh would be fully opened before the expira-
tion of three years, at which period a line will
extend from Paris to Mulhouse and Basle.

In answer to a question,
The CHAIRMAN stated that neither loans nor calls
were necessary to carry on the works. He also
stated, that in no case could the shareholders be
deprived of the dividend of 1849, and that it would
be paid after the meeting in March next, and that
from the Koechlin transactions the funds were suf-
ficient to pay all dividends without the necessity of
realising the renter and other securities belonging
to the company.
After these explanations, the meeting voted the
powers necessary for the directors to carry on all
negotiations.

ITALY.

The Risorgimento of Turin publishes a royal de-
cree of the 14th ult., approving of the union of the
two banks of Genoa and Turin, under the title of
National Bank.

In the sitting of the 27th ult. of the Chamber of
Deputies of Turin, the verification of the elections
was continued. The elections of MM. GUILLO, Sue-
SARELLO, and SERRA. were annulled, on account of
their being State functionaries.
Count TERENCE MAMIANI has addressed the fol-
lowing letter, dated Genoa, Dec. 16, to the director
of the Coraigliatore :
" Receive my sincerest thanks for the interest you
and your friends have taken in my election. I thou,7ht
I had given sufficient proofs of the moderation of my
opinions to spare the Ministry any anxiety on the ground
of my election to Parliament; it appears I was mistaken.
Banistn.d from Rome, excluded from the Piedmontese
representation, I should have no ambition or desire, save
that of returning to my dear studies, and of ending my
days in repose and tranquillity, it I saw the liberty of
this country sale. As usual, I have neither sought nor
solicited the honour of bring a deputy; the suffrages of
the electors have been spontaneously given to me, and
I should have failed in my duty had I refused the oppor-
tunity of joining
with those who share my opinions in
upholding the statute, from which depends, as I firmly
believe, the future tate of Italy."
The Nogionale of Florence of the 2.5 th ult. men•
tions a case of violation of territory committed by
some Papal soldiers on the Tuscan frontier, near
Latnone. A Tuscan peasant had crossed the frontier
to shoot some game, but being surprised by seven
Papal carabineers, he hastened back to his own ter-
ritory. The carabineers having fired at him without
effect, pursued him beyond the frontier, and repeatedly
fired, but still without hitting him. Not content
with this violation, they searched the cottage del
Fiume for the fugitive, and ill-treated the inhabitants,
and after committing the same outrages at the cot-
tages of Vallone, retired to the Papal territory.

Madrid journals of the 26th ult. have arrived.
It was rumoured that Mori was about to rejoin the
Ministry as Minister of Finance.

GERMAN Y.

AND
niE NORTHERN STATES

PRUSSIA.

• The report that an alliance offensive and defensive
had been concluded between Prussia, France and
England, was circulated at Berlin on the 30:h ult.
Tne object of such an alliance must be to check the
ambitious advances of Russia and her satellite
Austria, in Germany and the East. That Russia
entertains the design of turtling her alliance with
Austria to purposes of self aggrandisement is evident
frotn what is at present going on in Poland,
while the answer of the Minister of the
Red Serf of the CZkR who reigns over Austria,
to the Prussian note, on the subject of the Erfurth
Parliament, proves that he also is prepared to co-ope-
rate with his master in the subjugation of Germany,
whenever a favourable opportunity may offer. The
following is the substance of the Austrian rejoinder to
the Prussian note :

" The Austrian Cabinet is sorry to find that its for-
mer communications, instead of producing the desired
effect upon Prussia, have elicited replies which, though
evasive, are still full of significance. In its former re-
monstrances the Austrian Cabinet fully stated its view
of the question, and of the consequences of the step
which Prussia was taking. Since those remonstrances
were unheeded, Austria will not condescend to wage a
war of words with the Prussia❑ Cabinet, but, reserving
all her objections protests, and rights tide future oppo: to •
?Lily, she wishes it to be und:.rsLood that her silence is
not to be construed into an acquiescence with the Prus-
sian project, nor into a dereliction of her rights."

HE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received such of the -Paris journals as
appeared yesterday. They are filled with accounts of
the receptions and merry makings on New Year's-
day._

The PRESIDENT of the Republic received, on the
occasion of the new year, the Marshals of France,
the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, the
deputations of the Cour des Comtes and the different
Law Courts, the Councils of the University and the
Institute, the Prefects of the Seine and Police, the
Municipal Council, the Sub•prefects and Mayors, the
deputations of the Tribunals of Commerce, the
Chamber of Notaries, and other corporate bodies,
And the officers of the army and the National Guard.
Nearly the entire of the officers of the National
Guard paid their respects to the PRESIDENNT on this
occasion. There were no speeches delivered.
The Courier Franais, which is supposed to be the
I organ of M. Tunas, urges on a war with ROSAS, and
it is whispered that such is the ill-humour of M.
THIERS at finding his plans frustrated for the restora
Lion of a Monarchy, of which he should be Prime
Minister and Master, that he is actually prerared to
join any party, no matter of what colour, which v‘ ill
aid him in his endeavours to place himself at the head
of affairs. The Siecle, speaking of the recent divisive,
on the La Plata affair, says—
" Everybody remarked the affectation with which M.
Thiers and several of his friends voted in favour of the
Amendments which were proposed, and, amongst ethers,
in favour of that presented by M. Jules havrt, while M.
Mo'6, M. de Malleville, and M. Odilon Barrot
sus
tematically voted the other way. While M. Daru was
explaining away his previous language, M. Thiers could
not conceal his ill-humour. It was also noticed that
the Legitimatists voted diliertnt ways."
La Patrie announces that several Members of the
minority who voted on Monday against the amend
meat of M. DE RArca will demand, at the sitting
of the Assembly on Wednesday, that the ballot be
annulled.

The Assemblie National, the organ of the Priests
and the Monarchists, rails, as usual, against England
and the English.
The friends of M. LA3tkuziNe will be pleased to
hear that his health is considerably improved, and
that it is expected he will take his seat in the Legis-
lative Assembly next week.
The Bourse was well attended yesterday, and a
considerable quantity of business was transacted.
The Five per Cents. opened at 92f. 55c., and closed
at 92f. 75c. ; the Three per Cents., at 56f. 80c. ;

LAMBETH.

Frederick James Darner Cape and Robert Pile,
who had been remanded on Thursday last on a
charge of fraud, in attempting to defraud the public
by falsely representing themselves as joint secretaries
to the committee for carrying out the design of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the great exhibi-
tion of the works of art and industry, were again
placed at the bar for further examination before Mr.
Elliott.

Mr. Dilk, a member of the committee, was pre-
sent, with Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, and Mr.
Drew, of Parliament street, solicitor, for the prose.
cution, and Mr. Wooler attended on behalf of the
prisoners.
Mr. Ballantine, addressing the magistrate, said it
was his intention to call the printer and one or two
other witnesses, and after that to ask for a further
remand for the attendance of a material witness who
was not present. The Learned Gentleman then called
Richard Binns, who said—l am manager of the
glass department of the Bazaar in Baker street,
Portman square. I read in the Dublin Warder an
advertisement signed "Frederick Darner and Hobert
Wallingsbrook," as joint secretaries of the Grand
Exhibitiona

Mr. Henry Kempahead, a printer in Kennington-

gave me an order on Tuesday, the 18:11 of December,
to print 500 copies from a manuscript, which he
produced, and desired me to send a proof to Mr.
Miller, No. 9, Melinda-place, South Lambeth. One
of my lads took the proof as directed to Mr. Miller,
and between 1 and 2 o'clock on the following day it
was brought back to me by the prisoner Cape. In

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Hammill requests us to acknowledge his re-
ceipt of letters enclosing the undermentioned contri-
butions for the relief of a young woman named Sarah
Jane Smith, who was charged at this court about a
week since with illegally pawning some goods the
property of her landlady. The unfortunate prisoner,
it then appeared, was the daughter of a licensed
victualler, who had been reduced to such distress,
with a large family to support, that she was compelled
to seek a subsistence by needlework, and maintained
herself for some time in comparative respectability;
but the work upon which she was engaged suddenly
declined, and after struggling on upon 3s, a week for
a number of weeks it ceased altogether, and the
was obliged to pledge everything she possessed but
the clothes she was then dressed in while at the
bar. Her landlady pressed the case with much
severity against her, but the magistrate allowed
her a fortnight to make up the money for
which the landlady's goods had been pledged, and the
particulars of the case, which appeared in this paper
at the time, have excited so much commiseration that
the following subscriptions are the result :—"J.W."
10s.; " L.G.," 104.; "A Poor Man," Is. 6t1.,;
"M. D ss. ; "J. U.," 21. ; An Israelite," 2/. ;

volent donors all requested an acknowledgment in the
papers, as did also the contributors of the following
donations for the relief of deserving persons having
claims upon the funds of the poor-box :—" E. F. 8.,"

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult. says that it
was positively stated that the Austrian troops had en-
tered the kingdom of Saxony, but we have no con-
firmation of this direct from Saxony. At Vienna, on
the 27th, a sentinel fired at and killed a medical stu-
dent, who had refused in insulting terms to cease
smoking his cigar, in obedience to the sentinel's
order.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 28th ult. officially
denies the assertion of the Ost Deutsche Zeitung, that
the Diet of Bohemia had been convoked without the
sanction of the Minister PILLERSDORF and his coad-
jutors, and says that the Minister gave his consent
thereunto upon the petition of the chief burghers,
and a letter from Baron "'mix.
The new Constitution was solemnly proclaimed at
Pesth on the 26th ult.

POLAND.
The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes the following
from the Polish frontiers, dated Dec. 22 :
" We have received the almost incredible intelligenee
from Cracow that the Austrian troops have actually en-
tered the kingdom of Poland. A large body arrived by the
railway at Czenstechan, where a portion of them stepped,
while the rest proceeded by the next train in the direc
Lion of Warsaw. We give the intelligence as we have
received it, without vouching for its authenticity."

PERSIA.
The Journal de Constantinople of the 15th ultimo
has news of an insurrection at Ispahan. It is said
the palace of the Governer was attacked, stormed,
and the Governor and thirty of his servants put to
the sword.

TURKEY.
The Journal de Constantinople of the 15th ult. states
that an Italian corps, which bad fought under the com-
mand of General BEM, have come to Adrianople,
where they met with a brilliant reception. The
son uf.the Pacha of ADRIANOPLE, advanced with a
small body of troops and saluted them with all mili-
tary honours. Advancing to the city with music and
flags, the Italians were conducted to a church, where
mass was read for the souls of the victims of the Hun-
garian war. Baron TITOFF and Count STURMER,
the Ambassadors of Russia and Austria, have entered
a protest against the Pacha's conduct.

bones about It "—They part, " more In sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being cone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely

" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dad to see."

was believed that M. Busr, late Secretary of the
Provisional Governinent of Tuscany, and director o'
the Alba, was about to return in consequence of the
amnesty.._

The 'Giornale di Roma of the 221 ult. states that
Count josrru 114AsTAI, brother to the POPE, arrivee
at Cesena on the 10th, and having had some long con-
ferences with Count Q.DoAnno FABER', set out again
for Sinagagli.
A letter from Rome of the 19th ult. says—" The
Commission of Cardinals issued a notification to the
effect that the Government refuses to pay to the
Roman Bank the 1,100,000 scudi which it had been
compelled to advance to the Government of the Re-
public, in consequence whereof the bank is placed by
this act in a state of bankruptcy, the Government
having by its authority decreed the forced currency
of its notes. At the same time the Government seizes,
upon all the capital in the bank. This step, which
threatens the ruin of all its shareholders, has likewisi-
created great alarm amo:;g the small traders ; bank
notes are accepted with the greatest difficulty. Loud
complaints are raised on every side, and the Govrrn-
meut is placed in the greatest embarrassment; it
e'
hoi•ed that it will still revoke this most imprudent
and unjust measure."

QUEEN BESS,

We ROW come to Historical Facts, therefore, as tke Clown at
Astley's would sac, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fast,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspl-
raey—Sir Walter Ralegh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
quite In a frizzle, and Lori Burleigh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the
