RLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
iv The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S G -)I3T and RIIVW
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by Jolla Mollard Wheeler, Eq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirM.
" I knew yon have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell'you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acwintances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account.. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Themes Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RIIEITMA.TIC PILLS, and observe
the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," im-
pre.,sed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
Genuine Medicine. . •

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEWT COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During, the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanc:„
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—malting
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1949, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 134 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 65.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 1 ls. 6d. CI these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/.,
but 1,1831. 11s. 10,1. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had comiderably extended their business on
the Continent, having appde ointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
l'Etang, a gentleman of high stonding in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronal:e of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Arelibishr-.p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Par;sis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Lifo Assurances, but in An-
nuities bath Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Clic,irman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairriv n, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of ilia establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

DISPUTED xarn POLICIES.
" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance 011 ices and the
public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The
Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance
mof 53N. in
hick polic the Albioy
n
Company as security for an advance, the payent of
was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in-
temperate habits was concealed from the office. Ihe chief evidence
netr upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was givn against
the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. interest from the date when it became due.
an The
other presents circumstance
of the action being brought by one office against
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by
which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of proterAing them-
selves in every ease by due inquiries before the granting • f each po-
licy, and of afterwards assuming the full r esposelvesnsibility o
cls the cfromom-
pleteness of such inquiries by holding them the
raising any future question. In t present caw two offices are
found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as *a what can
properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be
able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases
have occurred before, and even if they were snore rare, they
would
seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree,
the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

771-1 E BURGLARY ITV REGENT'S PARK.
The four men who stand charged with burglari-
ously breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr.
Holford, in the Regent's Park, were brought up at
the Marylebone Police-court yesterday afternoon for
re-examination. The interest and excitement which
the case has created in the West-end of the metro-
polis would appear to be still unabated, and 13ng
before the prisoners were placed in the dock before
Mr. Broughton the body of the court and its en-
virons were densely crowded with well-dressed peo-
ple. The names of the four prisoners are Dyson,
Mahoit, Robinson, and Mitchell. They were pat for-
ward at a few minutes after three o'clock. Mr.
Wrontner, the solicitor, attended to watch the case for
Robinson.
The first witness called to-day was James Mason,
an officer in the S division, 168, who stated that he
remembered when Dyson was committed. Since
then a woman frequenting the prison had -attracted
his attention. On the 17th of last month she was
with another woman. • She went in between one and
two, while her companion remained in a beer-shop
close by. He believed she was Dyson's woman, and
she came to see Dyson when. he was under exami-
nation. He saw her come out of the prison and
join her . companion. She was in the prison
about half an hour. They both walked away to-
gether, and he followed them. They crossed Black -
friars-bridge, and went into a public-house together.
He afterwards followed them to Friar-street, where
they separated, and he followed their companion to a
small fish-shop, where she remained about an hour.
She then came out, and be followed her to a house,
29, King-street, and "there lost her. That woman
had since been tee-kit/ad out to him by Sergeant Barry,
of the M division, as known to them as Mahon s
woman. He had never seen her with Mahon, whose
proper name was Wellinsdale, nor had he ever seen
her in company of any of the prisoners. He was in
plain clothes at the time.
Neither of the prisoners asked any question.
Sergeant Barry, of the M divison, stated that
Mason pointed out a woman to him on Friday. He
had frequently seen her with Mahon. She was in
Mahon 's company when he apprehended him at
Holton. He had known her for some time before
she became acquainted with Mahon. She was tne
wife c.f a thimble-rigger, who had frequented fairs
and races. He had frequently seen her with Mahon
long before this robbery. She was in the habit of
going out on the streets robbing when she could, and
Mahon generally followed her. From private infor-
mation he had received he bad reason to believe that
there were other parties concerned in this transaction,
and if the prisoners were remanded he had no doubt
be should be able to apprehend them.
Mr. Broughton—Well, Sergeant Barry, you have
shown the public that you have every disposition to
sift this matter to the bottom, and I have no doubt
you will ultimately succeed in capturing all the par-
ties concerned in it.
Sergeant Barry—Well, Sir, I will do my best. I

Charles Robinson, the brother of the prisoner, of
14, Canton-terrace, Hoxtdn, a tailor, stated that on
Sunday, the 13th of last month, the pri,)ner passed
the right at his house. When he is in London wit-
ness's house is prisoner's home. On the night in
question the prisoner was' very queer with the
rheumatics.

Cross-examined—The prisoner was a ha•sker in
the country. What he hawks witness did not know.
Mrs. Ann Robinson, the wife of the last witness,
gave similar evidence.
Mrs. Charlotte Briscoe, the bar-woman of the
Union, stated that she saw the prisoner at that house
lite on Sunday night, the 13th of last month. He
left in company with his brother soon after twelve
o'clock. Her father keeps the Union.
Cross-examined—The prisoner vva% taken in her
father's house. Robinson was the only prisoner she

Sergeant Barry stated that he saw the prisoner
Robinson on the night- b2fore the robbery at the
George public-house, Mint. lie hid often seen him,
Dyson, and Mitchell there during the last two years,
but he had missed them every night since the robbery.
It was about half-past ten on the night of the rob-
bery that he last saw them.
Mr. Broughton determined, upon the strength of
the latter evidence, upon still detaining Robinson,
and the case was further remanded.
The prisoners were then removed, and ordered to
be brought up again this day week.

Superintendent Haynes, who has charge of the
case, stated that the surgeon who examined Mahon's
hand was in attendance.
Police-constable Lockerby, 160 S, stated that he
saw Mason point out the woman to Sergeant Barry.
It was at Galloway's, the George public-house, io the
Mint. On Friday night he was at the House of
Detention, when he saw the same female in conver-
sation with Mahon, and afterwards he saw the same
female go out and join two other females and three
men At a neighbouring public-house. One of the
females lives with Mitchell.
Mr. Broughton—How do you know that ? Lock-
erby—She told me so.
Mr. Broughton—Oh, that will not do. This is
not evidence.
Isockerby—But the same woman was dressing
Mitchell's wounds when he was arrested.
Mason said Lockerby had pointed this woman out
to him, and she was the same who was dressing
Mitchell's wounds when he arrested him.
Mr. Joseph, the surgeon of Great Marylebone-
street, stated that he had examined the hands of
Mahon. One of them was cut, while on the other
there were the marks of three distinct shot wounds.
He-examined his body ell over, but fouud no other
marks of wounds or injuries. The circular form of
the wound;, together with their indentation, led him to
believe that they were the result of a gun shot. The
wounds were on the right hand.
Prisoner—Could not the wounds have been caused
by a fall on a gravel ground ? Witness—l should
think not.
Mr. Broughton—Could they have been caused by
getting over a spike fence ? Witness—No, I think not.
Mr. Broughton—Had any shots been extracted?
Witness—l do not know. The wounds are very
superficial, and no doubt they could have been easily
extracted without a cutting instrument.
Mr. Paul, who fired the shots, stated that the guns
were loaded with gun-shot and slugs.
Mr. Broughton—When you fired in the bush, did
you hear any one cry out ? Witness—Yes, I heard

Mr. Wontner, upon the strength of this evidence,

stated that he was a 'busman, and knew the brother

Robinson's brother's house till about half-past eleven
o'clock. He then left, in company with Robinson,
the prisoner, to see a young woman home to Shore-

THE BURGLARY AT THE WEST
SURREY BANK.
COMMITTAL OF TEIE PRISONERS.
Epsom, Nov." 4.,---The two men, George- Roberts
and Charles Dower charged with breaking into the
West Surrey Branch Bank, in this town, on the
night of Thursday last, were brought up for re-
examination this morning before the bench of magis-
trates sitting at Careless's Coffee-house, in the High-
street.
The Baron de Tessier, chairman of the bench, pre-
sided. Mr. H. Gosse and Mr. E. H. Northey were
also present.
The prisoners were brought from Kingston gaol at
an early hour, and on the arrival of the magistrates at
eleven o'clock they were brought into court. Both of
them looked very much chapfallen. An officer was
placed between them.
The first witness called was Mr. J. Holland, who
deposed to living in the High-street, next door to the
bank. His bedroom window looked out upon the
back office of the bank, and on Friday morning last,
having occasion to get out of bed, his attention was
attracted to a light in that apartment. He called up
his wife, and they together observed the figures of
two men apparently engaged in breaking open the
cupboards. Witness called out of his w ndow, upon
which the thieves put out their light and hastily
decamped. Witness went to the police-station to
give an alarm, and there saw the two prisoners
in custody. Roberts was one of the men he saw in
the bank.
Mary Holland, wife of the last witness, corrobo-
rated his evidence, and identified Roberts as the man
she had seen holding the candle while the other man
broke open a cupboard.
Police-constable George Dymock, 307 V, proved
being on duty, about half-past 2 o'clock on Friday
morning, in the High-street of Epsom. Witness
observed the two prisoners walking together in the
direction of London, and was induced to speak to
them. Witness asked them what they had got. 'The
prisoner Roberts said he had got nothing but what
belonged to him. Witness, not feeling satisfied,
seized him, and found the chisel or jemmy produced
in his coat pocket; end whilst searching him further,
the other prisoner (Dowe) came up violently and
said witness had no business with Roberta, that he
had only got what belonged to him. `ti itnees
then seized the other prisoner and held them
both until police-constable Elliot, 213 V, came up,
when they took them to the station. On being
searched, there was found on the prisoner Roberts
one box of lucifer matches, five metal spoons, one
silver caddy spoon, two silver teaspoons marked
"It. P.," two dozen penny postage stamps, a penknife,
a large clasp knife, a pocket comb, a franc piece, a
half-franc, one halfcrown, three shillings, three six-
pences, twelve fourpenny pieces, end 101. in coppers,
four cancelled cheques drawn by William Piggott on
Messrs. Mangles, and various other articles. On
the prisoner Charles Dowe were found some
boiled meat and bread and a box of
lucifer matches. Both the prisoners said they
had picked the things up. Witness went subse-
quently with Sergeant Kennedy to Mr. Moore's
premises, and found they had been entered by remov-
ing the window of a small room occupied by Messrs.
Mangles as the West Surrey Branch 13 ink, and
forcing out an iron bar so as to admit the entrance of
a man. A cupboard in this room had been forced, a
desk broken open, and an iron safe had been attempted
to be forced. In the front office the till had been
broken open, and papers belonging to the bank were
scattered about in all directions. Witness subse-
quently went into Mr. Moore's private apartments
found a desk broken open, cupboards forced, and the
place all in confusion. On the prisoner Roberts wit-
ness found a small crowbar called a "jemmy," which
corresponded exactly with the cupboard and desk
broken open.
Police-constable Elliott, 213 V, corroborated the
last witness, and proved having taken from the pri-
soner Dowe a coat, which he said he had found.
Sergeant Kennedy confirmed the evidence of the
two previous witnesses as to the state of Mr. Moore's
premises.
Mr. Resta Moore, fellmonger, of High-street, Ep-
som, said he let two rooms in his house to Messrs.
Mangles Brothers, who occupied them as a branch
of the West Surrey Bank. The premises were
always locked up by witness's brother, .7.\lr. Felix
Moore, and witness could swear that they were pro-
perly secured on Thursday night. When aroused on
Friday morning witness found that the house had been
entered during the night through the window of the
small office belonging to the bank. Witness was
j not aware that he had lost anything at that time., but
1 he afterwards saw upon one of the prisoners at the
police-station a great coat belonging to him, in the
pockets of which were some silver spoons also his
property. The property was produced and identified.
Mr. T. F. Everingham deposed to being manager
of the Epsom branch of the Guildford Bank, carried
on by Messrs. Mangles Brothers. Witness secured
all the property, and left the bank about a quarter-
past four o'clock on Thursday last. At five o'clock
on Friday morning he was informed that the bank
had been broken open, and on proceeding thither he
found the till forced, and all the money which he hal
left in it, amounting to 131. 61., abstracted therefrom.
The money consisted of silver and copper coins, two
French coins, and an American piece of money.
Witness believed the coins produced to be the same
that had been stolen. A pair of gold spectacles and
some cancelled cheques were also misting from a
drawer in the front office. The spectacles and
cheques having been produced, were identified by the
witness.
Mr. Felix Moore formally proved having fastened
the window through which the robbers had entered
on the Thursday evening.
The prisoners, having been duly cautioned by
the Chairman, were asked if they wished to say
anything to the charge made against them.
Roberts said—Yes, Sir, I do. I was in Guildford
on the 31st of October, and while on my way to
Epsom, or more properly speaking to London, I met
my fellow-prisoner. We came together, and on our
way through this town we saw this parcel tied up in
a handkerchief. We took it up and carried it behind
the engine house, where we opened it. I thought it
might have been a child. When we saw what it
contained, Dowe put on the coat and put some things
in his pockets. I put some things in mine, and
las
the things were found so I found them in
?arethe
.
The Chairmen—ls that your statement
berts—Yes.
The. coolness with which the prisoner gave this ex-
traordinary explanation excited some laughter in the

court.
The prisoner Dowe said he had nothing to say.
The Chairman then told both prisoners that they
stood severally committed for trial for the crime of
burgldry, and warrants having been placed in the
hands of the
proper officers the accused were re-
moved.
At the close of the proceedings,
Mr. R. Moore begged publicly to express his gra-
titude to the police of the town of Epsom, whose
conduct in the affair he considered had been exceed-
ingly creditable—especially that of the young officer
Dy mock.
Mr. Everingham, on the part of Messrs. Mangles,
cordially agreed with Mr. Moore.
The Chairman said he thought the officers were
certainly entitled to all praise. He slso considered
that the usefulness of the power of search given under
the Metropolitan Police Act had never 13: en more
clearly demonstrated than in the present case.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—We believe that
we may state, from good authority, that this magnificent
undertaking is now in a fair way of being speedily accom-
plished. Had the work been finished before the opening of
the Great Exhibition, such a local wo*der would have proved
highly profitable to the Great Western Railway Company,
and no doubt beneficial to our fellow-tradesmen.—Bristol

Taoist THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—Mr. George Anthony Denison has thought
fit to give to our arguments upon the recent assumption
of authority in this country by the Court of Rome pre-
cisely that finishing touch which was needed to clench
the rivets and to drive them home. We should have
scrupled to ascribe to any English clergyman, or to any
faction in the Enz,lish Church, opinions se inconsistent
with their position and their solemn engagements
as
those which Mr. Denison takes pleasure in expressing.
But, since 'ne asserts those opinions, and continues to
hold a living in the Church of England, we cannot refuse
him the benefit of his candour. It may be remembered
—for the most obscure and foolish persons are sometimes
rescued from oblivion by the absurdity of their actions—
that Mr. Denison is the same clergyman who a few
months ago delivered to the astonished churchwardens
of East Brent a delibet ate protest against the Queen's
supremacy in a cause ecclesiastical, and he has also con-
tributed, by a mischievous agitation of extreme opinions
connected with education, to reduce the National Society
to its present state of discord and penury. But he bad
reserved for the present occasion a still more startling
announcement of the views taken by himself and his
friends of the relations of Church and State in this
country; and, at a moment when every minor shade
of difference is merged in the common determination of
resistance to Rome, we aro told by this member of our
communion that " the warfare which the Church of
England has to wage in these days is only secondarily
against Rome; her first and greatest enemy is the lati-
tudinarianism of the State." In other words, there is
but one class of men to be found amongst us at this
time who presume to palliate the Papal claims to supre-
macy in England, and they are precisely the class who,
on a former occasion, have denied the Queen's supre-
macy. We acknowledge their consistency,, but it is at
the expense of their allegiance and their good faith; fur,
in attempting to burst those salutary bonds of union
which have served for many centuries to unite the Church
and State of this realm, they are thrown by the vebe-,
mence of their own efforts at the feet of a foreign spiritual
power, and they are more hostile to the national esta-
blishment which they profess to serve than to the Italian
priest who claims their obedience in the name of the
Catholic Church. We are obliged to Mr. Denison fur
throwing aside all disguise, and we readily treat him
with equal frankness. The opinions which he expresses
are precisely what would be termed in Scotland Free
Church principles, and indeed, by a curious coincidence,
the only journal in which we have found any defence of
the ne v Papal bishoprics is a Scotch print affected to
that party. The emancipation of the Church from all
connexion with the State and with the law can never be
so completely accomplished as by the introduction of a
spiritual authority paramount, which shall be foreign to
this country. The power of the Church of Rome is the
realization of that ideal scheme for the whole world.
For that very reason it is essentially despotic, irrespon-
sible, intolerant, and anti-national; and, for that same
reason, the exercise of such an- authority is infinitely
less distasteful to Mr. Denison than the legal au-
thority of the Church of his country in connexion
with the State. We can discover but one distinc-
tion between him and the more direct opponents
of the royal supremacy and the National Church;
the Romish bishops have as yet laid no claim to the
temporalities of the realm, and the Scotch Free Church
ministers actually renounced their benefices : Mr.
Denison retains the living of East Brent by virtue of the
very laws against which he rebels. But enough of this
himsical exctinion to the strenuous and all-pervading
spirit which has now happily been roused throughout
the country. It is a maxim of the law of England, at
least as old as the reign of Edward 1., that every en-
couragement of the Papal power in this kingdom is a
diminution of the authority of the Crown, and it was in
pursuance of this doctrine that all the subsequent
statutes of prcemunire for the repression of the Papal
power were passed in the 14th end 15th centuries of our
era. Their antiquity sufficiently denotes that they had
no connexion with the peculiar theological doctrines of
the Reformation, or with the great schism of
the 16th century. They were passed as statutes
for the security and independence of the realm.
They were not only obeyed, but upheld, by the An-
glican clergy of those days ; and, whatever may have
become of the numerous penal statutes of the 17th
and 18th centuries which have since been enacted
and repealed, these ancient laws have not lost their effi-
cacy. On the contrary, they may be said to have re-
gained it, for when the Roman Catholic religion was
absolutely proscribed in this country the laws which
once curbed the Pope's authority were eclipsed by Inca
sures of greater rigour; but with the return of a more
tolerant period, which concedes to the Romish Church
a free xistence and equal rights, it is fitting we take
care that those rights do not exceed the privileges she
enjoyed in Britain when the whole nation and the Crown
itself professed the faith of Rome. The offence, says
Sir W. Blackstone, in his Commentaries, known to the
law of England as prcemunire, is that of introducing a
foreign power into this land, and creating imperium in
imperio, by paying that obedience to Papal prcess which
constitutionally belonged to the King alone long before
the Reformation in the reign of Henry VIII. By the
13th and by the 16th Richard 11., whoever procures at
Rome or elsewhere any translations (of bishops), pro-
cesse.s, bulls, instruments, or other things which
touch the King, against him, his crown, and
realm, &c., shalt incur the penalties of prcemunire;
and by the 2d Henry IV., cap. 3, all per-
sons who accept any provision from the Pope
to be exempt from canonical obedience to their
proper ordinary are subject to the same penalties. In'
1439 a provincial snoyd of the English clergy refused to
confirm and allow a Papal bull hostile to these laws,
and the then Archbishop of Canterbury in the preceding
year refused to consecrate a bishop whom the Pope,
Eugenius IV., had presumed to nominate. The statute,
of prcenrunire, "illud execrabile statutum," as it was
styled by Pope Martin V., was maintained in force in
Catholic times as an effectual bar to the excessive power
of the Court of Rome. Since the accession to office of
the present Government, it will be remembered that a
direct recognition has been given by Parliament of the
force and validity of these ancient statutes by the ex-
ception made to them for the purpose of accrediting a
diplomatic agent to the Court of Rome, but we are not
aware that their authority has been otherwise abrogated
or impaired, and that exception sanctions the rule. The
dsfence set up by the Roman Catholic priesthood, in
answer to the vehement remonstrances of their country-
men, is utterly inconsistent with the exultation shown by
them in other quarters on the restoration of the hierarchy.
We are now told that the whole change is nothing—
a mere name—a title without significance—a dominion
without subjects—a shepherd without a flock; and we
are to believe that this intervention of the Papal autho-
rity with unwonted solemnity " in perpetuarn rei memo-
riam," is a mere formality of small account. The mag-
niluerience c.f the Papal bull, and of the Cardinal's pas-
toad letter, are ludicrously contrasted with the inter-
pretation thus put upon them; and peat surprise is ex-
pressed that wo should remonstrate against a bull which
is so small and harmless an one. But, in the judgment
of the Church and the people of England, no usurpation
of authority by fore.gners and intrudes is small or
harmless. If Cardinal Wiseman claims to govern the
metropolitan counties as their ordinary, he claims what
belongs to another, and ho claims that authority speci-
fically under a commission repugnant to our laws. Mr.
Denison, we must infer from his letter, is prepared to
enter upon the duties of this new form of canonical obe-
dience in order to release himself from the painful obli-
gations of English law; but we are happy to think that
he disagrees in this matter not only from ourselves, but
from all that is most patriotic, learned, and eminent in
that Church of which the Vicar of East Brent is still an
unworthy member.
DAILY NEWS.—The German riddle approaches
near to at least a temporary solution, and one which will
b far from satisfying oven the most moderately consti-
tutional of the liberals of that country. The Czar of
Russia had formally and peremptorily-signified his pro •
hibition of anything partaking of the :popular represen-
tative principle in the federal bond cr system of Germany.
Whilst Austria was prepared to enforce this prohibition
by arms, and Russia was, of course, ready to support
her, France was loud in menace, unless the Frankfort
Diet, that negation of the representative principle, was
allowed to settle the Holstein question after its fashion.
England joined in the chorus, not indeed so far as it is
alleged, for Lord Cowley did not recognise the full au-
thority of the Frankfort Diet, as the Titres alleged.
But still iu one of the critical points at issue the English
Cabinet was against Prussia, not with her. Thus beset
by a universal, a European league, Prussia has
yielded. how far she has yielded with honour
will be a subject of much diversity of opinion. Before
we undertake to pass judgment on that point, let us
endeavour to see how much has been yielded, and
how much maintained. In the first place, Prussia con-
sents not to abolish but to defer any popular representa-
tive assembly for those states of Germany which have
joined its union. On the other hand, Russia and Aus-
tria consent to desist from their previous demand, that
Prussia and her allies should re-enter the resuscitated
Diet at Frankfort. Union and Diet are both suspended
for the moment, and the question of the federation re-
ferred to free conferences, to be held by delegates from
the thirty-four German stater. This free conference
Prussia has been long demanding, asd it was long re-
fused her. She wished the meeting to take place at
Dresden, but Vienna has been fixed as the place of
meeting. Prussia also demanded that these conferences
should be held under the • joint presidence of Austria
and Prussia. Austria refused this, not objecting to
the alternate presidency as the rule of future settle-
ment, but refusing to give up as a preliminary what she
might make use of as a concession in negotiation. The
chief question which hero suggests itself is, whether the
union of those states which grouped around Prussia is
definitively given up, or intended to be given up. We be-
lieve that it has not been given up, and that it remains
completely open whether the future confederation is to
bind the Princes of this union in the mass or separately.
Another important point is, that whatever rosy be the
nature or the law of the Confederation, Austria no longer
enters it, as before, with merely her German provinces
and people, but with her entire empire and population,
Italy excepted. We believe this will make an empire of
nearly 70 millions, united for military, and in alillipirkt;
hability for commercial purposes:. How France

of 400 tons register, landed at Pl 3 mouth last we k,
from her Majesty's steam-vessel Pluto, Lieutenant-
Commander Jolliffe, give the following account of the
loss of their ship :—" She belonged to Messrs. Red-
man and Langley, of London, and sailed therefrom on
the Ist of November, /849; arrived at Sierra Leone
the 27th of December, and in six weeks discharged a
general cargo of patent fuel, bricks, slates, brandy,
rum, beer, Sheffield goods, &c. In the middle of Fe-
bruary proceeded down the coast to Yarra Bay, and
there landed a full cargo of oak timber for Govern-
ment, to call at Cork or Falmouth for orders. Sailed
the 22d of April, and on the 2d of May, at seven
o'clock in the evening, strong gale from north-west by
west, was driven on the rocks of the Conflict Reef, off
the river Nunez, to the north of Sierra Leone. 'The
crew took to their boats, but observing that the Nau-
tilus had floated off the reeks, they boarded ber again,
and by dint of great application and constant attend-
ance at the pumps, they in the course of ten de, s
brought her hack to Sierra Leone, where she arrived
on the 12th of May, with upwards of six feet water
in her hold. Exhausted by his exertions in
the unhealthy climate, Captain Burrell speedily
fell by the first attack of the coast fever, and died e n
the 1441 of May at Kinsey Town, near Sierra Leone
Proper. The second mate, W. Bell, expired three
weeks, and Joseph Quinlan, a seaman, five weeks
after the master. The carpenter, William Stewart,
of Black a all, died on the 12th of August. The ship
having been surveyed, was condemned, and on the
28th of August was sold; the chief mate temaininv
at Sierra Leone in charge. On the sth of Septeml er
five seamen and two apprentices embarked in the
Pluto, and were on the LA inst. landed at Plymouth,
whence they were forwarded to their homes by the
agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society."
WOOLWICH, Nov. 4.—The Pluto steam-versel,
Lieutenant-Commander Jolliffe, was inspected to-day
by Lieutenant Robertson, senior officer at this port,
in the absence of Commodore Henry Eden, on duty at
Deptford. Mr. Andrews, secretary to the Comm.ot-
dore, accompanied Lieutenant Robertson, who
wit-
nessed the mustering of the crew, and their g?ing
through their musket, cutlass, and sword exercises,
and unbending sails. Great credit is due to the Gal-
lant Commander and officers and men of the Pluto for
the excellent state in which she appears after coming
home from so trying a voyage.
The Fearless steam vessel. 76-horse power, arrived
this afternoon from Devonport, to have new boilers put
on board.
The Banshee steam-vessel, Master- Commander
