ITALY.

The Concordia of Turin, of the 28th ult., has the
following :—" The Duke of Modena is the future
King of Lombardy in pectere. This news, which, a
year ago, would have been received with universal
incredulity, becomes daily less paradoxical. Last
week many letters from Lombardy announced this
new Italian combination on the faith of Vienna cor-
respondence. The Duke of Modena is the wisest of
Italian monarchs; he follows the constitutional sys-
tem, he does not exact extraordinary contributions,
he takes no reactionary measures, he gives free circu-
lation to all journals of moderately liberal principles,
he introduces reforms in the Administration—that is
his system ; he aspires to be the founder of a kingdom
of Upper Italy."

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
There has been a fair amount of business transacted
during the week, and the inquiries for shares in
leading mines are well maintained. It is gratifying
to announce that another advance in the standard has
taken place.
Devon Great Consols have been done at an advance
on last week's quotations. The general prospects of
the mines are represented to be in a position highly
gratifying to the shareholders. The recent improve-
ments, but more especially the present appearances at
Wheal Emma, afford ample cause for anticipating
great results.
South Tolgus and Treviskey and Barrier have been
done at a considerable advance, arising from some
important improvements ; and an active inquiry for
shares continues. South Bassett, Stray Park, Carn
Brea, Trehane, and Trelawny, have also been in
request.
Condurrows are still in request. The prospects
are represented as highly encouraging, especially in
their progress towards the old mine. A winze below
the 70 (2 fms. long, by 5 fins. deep), has yielded
nearly 1,4001. of copper ore, with every prospect of
the lode continuing productive. In cutting some
ground in an old shaft a valuable branch of tin has
been discovered, and the improvements generally are
of a most cheering character.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
this week :—Devon (-; rest Consols, South Tolgus,
West Caradon, Trelawny, Treviskey and Barrier,
Trehane, lleignston Down Consols, Tincroft, East
and South Tamar, Mary Ann, Daren, Bedford
United, Kirkcudbright, Tremayne, Tregorden, Tamer
Consols, Cwm Erfin, Wheal Gennys, Devon and
Courtenay, Stray Park, Cam Brea, Wheal Marga-
ret, &c.
At the Treviskey and Barrier bi-monthly meeting
a dividend of Si. per share was declared on Traviskey.
The profit for the two months made by Treviskey ap-
pears to be 5861. Is., and Barrier 551, reducing the
balance against the latter to 57/.143. 3d., and the cre-
dit to the former 361. 151. Bd., with ore bills due, and
not at maturity.
At the Bedford United Mines bi-monthly meeting,
a dividend of 1,0001. was declared for the past two
months, being ss. per share. The abstract statement
of accounts presented showed a cash balance of 1,162/.
lOs. 11d., and it also appeared that a profit of 3,830/.
Is. 11d. was made in the last twelve months; and i❑
the last six months a profit of 2,661/.143.8d. had been
realised, arising chiefly in consequence of the advance
of standard for copper ore. The general accounts up
to the end of April show a balance of assets over lia-
bilities of 4,333/. 19s. 4d.

An elaborate report, prepared by the manager,
was presented and approved of by the meeting, re-
commending the sale of the south part of the mines,
to be annexed to the East Gunnis Lake sett, and
worked conjointly, giving the option of the share-
holders in the Bedford mines to share pro rata in the
new company, which will, no doubt, be readily ac-
ceded to, by the entire sanction of the proprietary, at
the meeting convened for the 14th inst., to consider
this important proposition.
At the ilolyford Copper Company's meeting, the
balance-sheet for the six months showed a loss of
564/. 12s. Id.-160/. of which has been expended at
the Old Forge Mine, which has not yet proved pro-
ductive. The report of the Holyford Mine is satis-
factory, inasmuch that the deepest level is productive
of rich ore. The shaft is now down 9 ft. under the

30, and the tribute pitches are looking remarkably
well.
At the meeting of Cwm Erfin adventurers a call of
10s. per share was made ; the balance in favour of
the adventurers was 161. 193. 9d. The management
of the mines was, by the unanimous sanction of the
meeting, placed in the efficient hands of Messrs. J.
Taylor and Co.
At the Tresavean meeting, the accounts showed—
Ores sold for Nov. and Dec., 1,9511. 143. 4d., and a
balance in hand of 8461. 19s. 4d.
At the Trethellan meeting, a dividend of Si. per
share was declared, leaving balance at bankers of
1941. 4s. 11d.
At the West Trethellan meeting the accounts
showed—Ores sold (less dues), 341/. 12s. 3J., and a
balance in hand of 1661 7s 11d.
At the Ileignston Down meeting the accounts
showed a balance in favour of the mine, 1451. 19s. Bd.,
with liabilities, 500/. 17s. 10d , and available assets to
meet them, of 3001
In shares of foreign mines there have been nume-
rous and large transactions. St. John del They, United
Mexican, Imperial Brazilian, and Copiapo shares
have been much in request, and the very consider-
able improvements at request,
have brought the Na-
tional Brazilian shares in demand. Australian, San-
tiago, Cobre, and Alten have also been done.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazelle)

APPOINTMENTS TO THE VACANT COLONELCIEF.—
At the momerst of going to press, we have authority for
st ,ting that the vacant Colonelcies of the 68th and 80th
Regiments have been bestowed by his Grace the Com-
mander-in-Chief respectively, on Major-General
Douglas Mercer, and Major-General Henry Dau-
beney, K.H.
THE REDUCTION—The recruiting parties that have
been stationed in London, have left for the purpose of
rejoining their Regiments.

Board of General Officers by the Ist of May next.
WEST INDIA REGIMENT.—We last week mentioned
that a serious charge had been brought before the au-
thorities against an officer of the Ist West India Regi-
ment, and although we are in full possession of all the
particulars connected with the case, we yet forbear to
give them publicity, the question as to what course it
will be legally necessary to adopt in the matter being
still under consideration.
THE ROYAL CRUISE OF 1850.—We have good grounds
for believing that our most Gracious Sovereign will pro-
ceed on her summer cruise in the royal yacht Victoria
and Albert much earlier than usual this year. The
royal yacht is positively ordered to be taken out of dock
by the 25th March, and be ready for sea in every re-
spect by the Ist April. It is reported that the Victoria
and Albert will make an experimental trip to Gibraltar
in April; and it will depend upon her performances
during that trip whether her Majesiy will undertake the
visit to the celebrated Rock. . _

ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITIONS.—Further official
instructions hive been published with reference to the
searching expeditions of Commander Pullen approach-
ing the Hudson Bay territories by way of Behring's
Straits, and of Dr. Rae, now proceeding northward be-
tween Wollaston and Victoria Islandi, and their uniform
action to carry out the objects in view. Mr. Hooper,
Mate of the Plover, has been promoted to the rank of
Lieutenant.

THE NEW NORTH-WEST EXPEDITION.—We an-
nounced, on authority, last week, that there would
positively be a new north-west expedition this year in
search of Franklin. We may now state that daily con-
ferences aro 1-eing held between the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and the Admiralty, and we hope to announce
next week the appointment of the naval officer to com-
mand the expedition. Mr. Penny, late Master of the
Advice whaler, is to have the command of one of the
ships, and among the officers of the navy who have
voluntered for this service are Commander Codrington
Forsyth and Lieutenants M•Clintock and Browne, who
were with Sir James Ross in the Enterprise.

THE PARIS ABATTOIR SYSTEM.
The general plan of the abattoirs for cattle may be
described as consisting of a large open court, in
which the animals are separated, so as to place them
in the layers reserved fur each particular butcher.
At the entrance to the courts are placed the offices of
the different employeB of the establishment. On both
sides are the slaughter-houses, which again are sur-
rounded on their other three sides by the cattle
layers. The fat-melting places, and those destined
for the preparation of the tripes, and the first prepara-
tions of the offal, are at the extreme end of most of the
Paris abattoirs. The cattle are fastened to rings let into
the walls, and are allowed 3 feet 4 in. frontage nearly ;
the sheep are inclosed in pens fitted up with mangers ;
water-troughs are sometimes furnished to both ; at
others the animals are led to the watering places in
the court-yards. -The slaughter-houses are in
groups (two and two), with a court between. Each
block contains eight divisions for slaughtering. In
the abattoirs built of late the court between the two
blocks is roofed over. This trifling change has ren-
dered the working of the abattoirs much more satis-
factory ; it has been adopted at Nantes and at Caen
with perfect success. The separate divisions of
the abattoirs are divided from one another by
walls, eight inches thick, of very hard stone, to
facilitate the cleansing. At a height of eight feet
four inches two beams are let into the wall, to
which the animals are suspended for the purpose
of being cut ups hooks are let into the wall to
receive the different portions ; a crane is fixed to hoist
the carcasses ; a large water. cock is also placed so
as to enable the assistants thoroughly to cleanse the
paving. Rings are let into the floor to fasten the
animals ; the paving is laid with a fill, to collect the
blood, great care being taken to bed the pavement
upon a very thick coat of concrete, to prevent the
ravages of the rats. A circulation of air is main-
tained by means of open gratings over the doors and
over the upper parts of the partitions. Places to
receive the excrescences are furnished as near the
slaughter-houses as possible ; and large sewers are
laid down throughout the establishments. Stables and
coach-houses are provided for the butchers. A large
pump, worked either by a steam-engine, or by
horse- power, is erected in. each abattoir, with re-
servoirs to contain a ponderable supply of water.
Every animal that is killed gives rise to a consump•
tion of about one-fifth of a ton of water if the
slaughter-house be properly cleaned after each opera •
tion. The town of Paris contracted for a quantity of
97,350 tons per annum for the five abattoirs ; but it is
not considered more than half what is really required.
'1 he odour arising from the fat melting is one of the
worst evils of the abattoirs; and we would do well
not to allow its being carried on in the interior of
London. The commercial results, in whatever light
we examine them, have been eminently successful.
The butchers find very considerable advantage in
having their meat slaughtered in the best hygienic
conditions; for it is less likely to turn, and keeps
much longer. They fully recognise the advantages
of the institution, though at first they vigorously op-
posed its introduction.— The Builder.

THE END or A " SPREE."—On Saturday three
bold dragoons belonging to the regiment at present lying
in Edinburgh, having, it would appear, too much money
in their purses, resolved on spending it as jovially as
possible, and with as little restraint as might be. For
this purpose, without leave asked or obtained from head-
quarters, they booked themselves as passengers to Glas-
gow by the 6.30 train from Edinburgh, resolved on hav-
ing a spree with their comrades who belonged to the
same corps here. They arrived at their destination in
due course, and, having beat up the quarters of
their friends in Glasgow, had commenced the pro-
cess of spending their cash, when a party of police,
acting under the instructions of their superiors, ap-
prehended the whole party, and took them to the police-
office. To account fur this, it is only necessary to men
tion that the telegraph had been set in operation from
Edinburgh, and a description forwarded t') the authori-
ties here of tne elopement of the dragoons, with a re-
quest to apprehend them if they could be found. The
result of this communication has been already mentioned,
and the ehopfallen dragoons, who had only finished their
first cigar, were locked up for the night in the polic--
office, to await further instructions.— Glasgow Daily Mail.
FALL OF A. GRAVEYARD WALL. On Saturday
noon, the high wall surrounding Cockermouth Church-
yard fell in with the most tremendous crash against the
adjoining houses in Mount rieasaut, which are mostly
occupied by weavers. During the time that the acci-
dent occurred several of the men were at work at their
looms, and, although dreadfully alarmed, we are happy
to state that all the inmates escsped without the slightest
injury. The windows of one of the houses were entirely
demolished, and the family who occupied the ground
floor sustained the loss of their crockery ware, which was
entirely dashed to pieces. The churchwardens, being
informed of the accident, promptly repaired to the spot,
and set men to work to prop up the remaining portion
of the wall, the whole of which will eventually have to
be taken down. The wall is between eighty and ninety
yards long, and fourteen feet iu height. Several coffins
were exposed to view, but they were immediately covered
over. The wall was too narrow for its heigh', and the
heavy pressure of earth from the churchyard, aided no
doubt by the sudden change in the weather, forced it
do w n.--Cuniberland Facquet.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MAA'SION-HOUSE.

Solomon Abrahams and Israel Levy were brought
before Alderman Humphrey, upon suspicion of having
robbed Solomon Joel, a fishmonger, residing in
Stoney-lane, of money to the amount of upwards of
171. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prisoners.
The complainant, who was stated to be a very in-
dustrious, hard-working fishmonger, has been in the
,habit of attending Billingsgate-market. Between 5
t.nd 6 o'clock on Friday morning he left his lodgings
to go to the market, and Abrahams, who had a candle
hi his hand, and was in the immediate:neighbourhood,
called to him, and asked him where he was going.
He said, "To Billingsgate." " Very well," said
Abrahams, "I shall be there in about an hour."
U?on Joel's return from the market, he found that
his room had been entered by thieves, that ten sove-
reigns and some silver had been taken out of the
poeliet of his trousers, which he had left under the
blankets in his bed, and that a jar, in which he had
been in the habit of emptying his pockets of silver and
halfpence fur a considerable time, had also disappeared.
The whole of the furniture of the unhappy man was
tumbled about the room, and there appeared to be in
the confusion which had taken place every evidence of a
complete search for whatever was valuable. In a state of
distraction the complainant ran about the house and
the street, and was, when he was able to make him-
self intelligible, assisted by the police in looking after
the thieves. Suspicion having fallen upon the pri-
soners, they were taken into custody, and -upon one
of them was found a penny-piece which the plun-
dered man said was one of the coppers he had placed
in the jar but a short time before.
Mr. Hobler examined the penny-piece, and asked
the complainant from what marks he could swear
that it was one of those which he had deposited in
the jar ?
The complainant, who seemed to be still greatly
excited, said be knew the copper from the mark of a
slight cutting on the side.
Mr. Hobler submitted that there was on the penny-
piece no mark which might not be expected to be
upon hundreds of coppers, arising from collision.
Alderman HUMeHERT said he certainly thought
the production of the copper would not at all assist
the case.

Abraham Goldsmith, a Jew boy, 12 years of age,
of extremely sharp intellect, said that between five and
six o'clock on Friday morning, he saw Levy stand-
ing by the complainant's door, near which there was
a gas-lamp. He saw at the same time a light in the
complainant's room upstairs. Upon returning he
observed the prisoners going along together, and
Abrahams was carrying a jar, which had money in
it. He was not mistaken in the prisoners.
Mr. Hobler—How do you know that there was
money in the jar? Witness—l know it was money
by the rattle. I know the sound of money well ; it
was the sound of copper.
Mr. Hobler—Do you know the difference between
the rattle of silver and the rattle of copper ? Witness
—Certainly I do. There might have been some
silver, but the sound was copper.
The complainant—When I saw Abrahams before
I went to market he had a candle in his hand, and
when I returned and that I was robbed I found an-
other candle besides my own in the room. lam sure
that was Abrahams' candle.

The boy—When I saw Abrahams and Levy going
away with the jar of coppers they had no candle
with them, so that they must have left it behind
them.—(A laugh.)
Mr. llobler—Upon the first examination the com-
plainant said not a word about the candle.
The complainant—l didn't know what I was about
then.

It was stated that at the station-house the poor
Jew had made the statement about having seen Abra-
hams with the candle, and afterwards having seen a
strange candle in his room.
In answer to questions put by Alderman Hum-
PHERY, the boy said that a woman named Davis had
seen a man standing at Joel's door between five and
six in the morning, but she was unwilling to come
forward and say who that man was.
One of the policemen said that Mrs. Davis, upon
being asked to appear at the Mansion-house to iden-
tify the party she had seen, stated that she would not
attend, and that " a horse might be taken to drink,
but could not be compelled to drink."
Alderman HUMPHERY—We shall see whether we
can't make Mrs. Davis make us acquainted with what
she knows. I shall remand the case till Friday, and
let a warrant be issued to compel her attendance.
The boy said that he had reason to be afraid of one
of the prisoners and his friends.
Alderman lIMAIPHREY—If any one threatens you
or attempts to do you the least injury, give him at
once into custody to a policeman.
The boy—That I certainly shall.—(A laugh.)
The Alderman refused to take bail for the appear-
ance of the prisoners, who were then remanded till
Friday next.
A cab-driver was brought up on suspicion of having
committed manslaughter.
It appeared that a few days ago, on the very dan-
gerous crossing near the Mansion-house, the cab,
which the defendant was driving at the rate of six
miles an hour, ran over a gentleman of the name of
Hodges, who was immediately carried off to St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital. The cabman was of course ap-
prehended. The patient, who was seventy years of
age, died in the hospital, and information was sent
to the Mansion-house that an inquest had been held,
and that the jury returned a verdict of accidental
death.

Alderman HUMPHREY, in discharging the cabman
from custody, said that six miles an hour was a pace
much too rapid for a cab in .so perilous a place as the
wide arena before the Mansion-house, and that the
defendant certainly had cause to accuse himself in a
great measure of -having occasioned the death of a
fellow-creature.

The defendant said the gentleman was crossing at
the time behind an omnibus, and was not seen by
anybody who had the power of rendering assistance.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN THE ClTY.—Late On
Saturday evening considerable alarm was caused in the
neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street Without, owing to
the following daring robtery. A respectabl) -dressed
young man entered the shop of Mr. Hyho, a silversmith
and watchmaker, and asked to be shown a silver watch.
One was produced (a half-plate lever), which the fellow
examined very minutely, and having inquired the price,
he put his hand into his pocket, as it was supposed, to
take out the money to pay for the article. Instead,
however, of so doing, he seemed to hesitate a little, and
asked to be shown another somewhat lighter. Mr. Hyho
having turned round to reach another, the fellow threw
the contents of his hands, which, instead of being
money, were either gunpowder or some other combus-
tible, upon the gaslight. Several persons passing by the
shop thinking the place had taken fire, immediately,
started to White Cross-street brigade station for the en-
gine. The thief rushed out of the shop, carrying with
him the watch. The moment Mr. Hyho recovered him-
self he ran out of the shop and followed the man for
some distance, shouting " Stop thief," but the fellow
succeeded in getting clear off. The only damage done to
the premises was the breaking the gas-lamp and black-
ening some of the windows.
MAJORITY OF THE HON. MR. VERNON.—On Fri-
day the Hon. Augustus Henry Vernon, son of Lord
Vernon, lord of the manor of Stockport, and the pro-
prietor of several extensive collieries in the neighbour-
hood, came of age, and the event was celebrated with
great enthusiasm, both in Stockport and in the village of
Poynton, where the family resides. A sumptuous dinner
was laid in the Town-hal), Stockport, at which the mayor
presided, supported by the Hon. Mr. Vernon, the prin-
cipal gentry of the town being present on the occasion.
Poynter' presented a scene of the utmost conviviality, the
workmen employed under Lord Vernon being all re-
galed to their heart's content with most substantial fare.
The festivities continued until a late hour.
lox CLUB.—On Saturday the following members
of the Fox Club met at Brooks's :—The Right Hon.
Earl of Charlemont, the Right Hon. Earl Fitzwilliam,
the Right Hon. Earl of Strafford, the Right Hon. Lord
Marcus Hill, M.P., Col. Hon. Geo. Anson, M.P., Hon.
George, Fitzwilliam, M.P., Sir J. Montague Cholmeley,
Bart., M.P., J. Houghton Langston, Esq., M.P., Vis-
count Ebrington, M.P., Hon. E. L. Mostyn, M.P., Row-
laub Alston, Esq., H. Fred. Stephenson, Esq., Lord
Sudeley, W. Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P., Colonel Boldero,

Stephenson, Esq., Right Hon. Sir R. Adair, Right Hon.
A. Rutherford. M.P., Right Hon. Earl of Zetland, Right
Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P., Right Hon. Lord De Mallley.
CAMELFORD.—DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT WEAPONS
OF WARFARE.—WhiIe some labourers were employed a
few weeks since in excavating for the foundation of a
house at Slaughter-bridge, near Camelford, they dug up
some implements of ancient war, consisting of a battle.
axe, a spear, and a spur, supposed to have laid buried
there since the days of King Arthur. Tradition says
that on that spot a sanguinary battle was fought between
the troops of Arthur and those opposed to him, and
that the nephew of Arthur was killed in the fight. His
remains were interred near the spot, and were after-
wards removeti to Glastonbury. The persons who found
the articles named, gave them away, setting but lithe
t I
value on them; but could they be procured, we think
they would be a valuable relic to be deposited in ono
of the museums in this county. The spur is now in the
possession of Mr. Creeper, of the White Hart, lan, Ca-
melford.

SEND THEM TO THE RAGGED SCHOOL.—On Wed-
nesday, J. Gilmore and M. Mattimore, two ragged boys,
were chargad before the magistrates, at Sunderland,
with having been found begging. Ordered to be sent to
the Rigue I School. Mr. Candlish, secretary to the
Ragged School, who %as present, addressed the bench
to the effect that the committee, being of opinion that
juvenile mendicancy was productive of great moral evil,
would be glad to receive all the children found begging
in town into the Ragged School. The magistrates con-
curred in the opinion. The police were ordered to send
all children found begging f,r the future to the Ragged
School.--Sunderland Herald.
THE GREAT EXHIBITION 'OF 1851.—The COUP.
mittee appointed to organise and collect subscriptions for
the Great Exhibition of Industry of all Nations consists
of Lord Granville, Mr. Alderman Thompson, George
Drew, and Francis Fuller, Esqa., who meet daily at the
Board of Trade.
