SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matehlees ALBATA
PLATE.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON-FOL-
GATE, aided by a person of science in the amalgamation of metals,
has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article
ever yet offered; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in
use—undergoing, es it does, a chemical process, by which all that is
nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted--resisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article for
the Table and Sideboard.

CLERKEN WELL_

Andrew Beatrie, an Italian, charged his master, an-
other Italian, named Borinke, living in Saffron-hill,
with assaulting him..
From the statement .of Counsel, and the evidence
given, it appeared that in April, 1843, the unfortunate
complainant was engaged in Italy by the defendant,
and induced to come to this country under a promise
. that he should be well paid by him, and paid a monthly
salary of 13 francs and. a half to play an organ in our
streets, which hag subsequently been his employment,
subjecting him daily to the most brutal treatment and
abuse if he failed to bring home less than 2s. ; on one
occasion in particular he was so much injured by him as
to render it necessary for him to be a patient of Saint
Bartholomew's Hospital for more than two months. On
the 6th of the present. month he received elevenpence
only, and on handing it to his master he was struck on
the head violently by him, since which time the de-
fendant had held him in fear under a threat that "he
would spoil him for ever as a man."
Mr. GREENWOOD asked if the complainant had been
paid his wages ?—He answered that he had not received
a single franc.
Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that the system of entrap-
ping poor Italians into this kingdom is a most abomi-
nable one, and no good could be effected unless the Pari-
sian Ambassador interfered to prevent it, we haring in
England no alien laws now. He inquired how the com-
plainant-made his way here ?—He said that he and eight
other men travelled over the Alps to France, and then
came by a steam-boat to London. •
Mr. GREENWOOD held the defendant to bail.to answer
the charge at the next Middlesex Sessions.
Three young men, named Lau, Crookes, and Hann:well, were
Charged with the following outrageOus conduct at the cotree.shop of
Mrs. Gass, Star.court, Islington.
It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoners went to the
shop on the previous night, and, having had refreshments, attempted
to go away without paying the reckoning. Mrs. Gass stopped them,
and they then, used language of a rely foul and disgusting na ure,
and attempted to deceive
,her by saying they had left the money on
the table. She calied a person, named Fry, to her assistance, and
hint too the prisoners assailed in a very violent manner, and tore
his coat in endeavouring to e_cape. They were given into custody.
Mr. GREENWOOD said Mrs. Gass had acted rightly iu demanding
payment for her refreshments on'the spot, for, if she were not paid
then, she might, in slang parlance; whistle for her money. The
conduct of the prisoners was very •improper, and he should tine
them 11. each, or ten days' imprisonment.

PRISONER KILLED IN APPLEBY GAOLS--On Tues-
day last, Edward Relph, late of the village of Rosgill, who,
with T. Graham, J. Brown, and another, about two months
ago, was committed to Appleby gaol, to hard labour, for
poaching in the preserves of the Earl of Lonsdale, near
Thoruthwaite-hall, in Westmoreland, was unfortunately
killed by the wheel of the treadmill. On Wednesday last,
an inquest was held on the body, in the gaol, before George
Thompson, Esq., one of the coroners for the county of
Westmoreland. It appeared, from the facts given in evi-
dence, that Relph, at the time the accident occurred, was
waiting near the mill, for the purpose of going on duty, and,
being a person of low stature, his head, by some means or
other„ came in contact with the wheel, which was rapidly
revolving at the timo, and ractured his skull. Verdict—
Accidental death.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

Vubfir Optitton.

" Who rams may read."

roZEIGN.

Accounts from Paris state that the Duke of Nemours is
seriously indisposed. The complaint is said to be sore throat.
The report caused a depression of 30c., in the Three per
Cent. Stock on Friday, but on Saturday they recovered and
ultimately closed at 82f. 80c.
The heads of the banking-houses in Paris who negotiated the
Belgian Loan of 1831-32, on Friday had an interview with the
Minister. of Foreign Affairs, to whom they presented a peti-
tion, signed by the holders of shares in that loan, praying
him to use his influence with the Belgian Government to
prevent its reducing the interest of the loan from Five to
Four per Cent., contrary to the terms of the contract The
Minister informed them that he had already taken the first
steps, and promised to transmit their representations to
Brussels.

The Viscount de Contades died a few days ago at Paris,
from the following comparatively slight cause :—Walking
along the street only a few days before, lie fell and broke
his thumb. The pain brought on a fever, which terminated
his life.

The Faubourg St. Martin was on Friday morning in com-
motion, in consequence of the discovery of a new murder, the
body of a woman being found in a cellar cut in pieces. The
husband, it is said, has been arrested.
_ _

The arrests in the Basque Provinces continue. Several of
the principal persons in the district are involved in the
Carlist conspiracy.
The Descartes steam-frigate of 450 horse power, was
launched at Rochefort on the sth inst.

Captain Essen of the English vessel the Romulus, whos•
crew had the affray with the French ship the Laurentine, in
the harbour of Marseilles, which we mentioned on Tuesday,
has published in the journals of that port a statement of the
affair in justification of himself, his officers, and men. He de-
clares, that being obliged to remote the berth of his vessel to
escape the consequences of the gale, he was attempting to do
so when the men of the Laurentine, carried.a hawser from
her to a Neapolitan vessel and barred his passage. Some of
his crew went on board the Neapolitan and cast off the rope,
but it was twice replaced and laid across his way again,
Upon this his mate went ou board the Laurentine to remon-
strate when he was violently assaulted and struck in the
loins with a handspike, and that what was afterwards done
by his men was merely in self-defence.
A few nights ago, as six men belonging to a fishing smack,
of Dieppe were in a boat laying the nets for fishing for whit-
ing, a violent gust of wind surprised them, and capsized the
boat, causing the loss of every man in her.
The Memorial de Rouen states that the quays of Rouen are
under water •from the flood in the Seine, and considerable
damage has • been done to goods lying in the cellars of the
adjacent houses. The low grounds near Rouen are all inun-
dated, and much property has been washed away.

On the motion that the South Eastern, Canter-
bury, Ramsgate, and Margate Railway Bill, be read
a second time,

Mr. G. BA.II-KES strongly objected, on the ground
that it unfairly and unnecessarily interfered with
private property. He moved that the Bill be post-
poned for a week.

Mr. BRADSHAW considered the Hon. Gentle-
man was labouring under a mistake and urged the
second reading of the Bill.
The Bill was then read a second time, on the
understanding that the Committee should be post-
poned for a week
The Rochdale Improvement Bill was read a second
time.

The Liverpool Docks Bill was read a second time.
Mr. H. HINDE moved for a copy of the minutes
of proceedings and evidence taken before the Com-
mittee on Railways Bills classification.

Mr. B. BARING objected to the motion, which,
after a few words.from Mr. Rice, was withdrawn by
consent.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a peti-
tion from upwards of 2,000 inhabitants of Rochdale,
to the effect that the taking of human life under the
power of the law is the most serious and solemn duty
which can be performed ; that when executed by
arbitration of the sheriffs, as it usually is, it is often
done without due decorum or solemnity ; that if this
practice is to be continued under the sanction of the
religion of the State, it shall be performed in such a
manner as to make a solemn and religious impression
on the minds. of the people. Therefore the petitioners
pray the House to enact that, whenever the taking
away of human life is commanded to be done under
the laws of the State, it should be performed as a
religious ceremony, and by a clergyman of the State
Church.

The Leeds New Gas Bill, and the Kingston-
upon-Hull Dock Bill were read a second time.
Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition praying for the
repeal of the duty on the importation of foreign wool.
Petitions against the Factories Bill were presented
by Mr. T. Duncombe (59 petitions, signed by 7800
persons), and by Mr. Hume from Yorkshire.
Mr. HINDLEY presented 40 petitions from the
Peace Societies in several towns in England, Ireland,
and. Scotland, against any increase in the war estab-
lishment of the country.
Mr. T. DUN COMBE presented a petition from
the guardians of the:poor in the parish of Islington,
prayingthat their local Act be not interfered with.

._
sent to hiM fromtht Anti-League Associatiory,Ad which had
the signature of Mr. Maillard, in which it was 'alleged that
great success had attended the exertions-of thrl:eague ; that
shoemakers, cork cutters, silk weavers, and other trades, had
given their support, and'that branch associations:were in the
course of formation, and Mr. (*tier was invited to attend.
[He read the letter from Mr. Oastler; in which he remarked,
"My Weak.'statelof body and excited state of mind 'render it
guite.impOssible to accent your kind invitation."] He con-
cluded. b saying, that had thiletter from Mr. Oastler and
the cornmrunications of the Anti-League Association to him
been received in time, they ,wouldhave exposed the attempt
to impose upon the working. classes, by; that body.—(Hear.)
Mr
.HMIRY said that the weavers ought to show their opi-
nion of the cOndrict of the Anti-League Aiiociation. He
proposed that copies of the letters from Mr. Oastler be sent
to Mr. Maillard, with some severe remarks upon his conduct,
and that the weavers pay the Secretary his expenses for at-
tending on theAriti:League Association.
Mr. MAtelys, in 'seconding the resolution, observed that
the only object of the Anti-League Association was to get
the assistance of. the working classes to put down the Anti-
Corn-law League.• Mr. Maillard had intimated to that
effect. Ile also believed that, when the agitation had ac-
complished what the Anti-League Association wanted, that
nothing would be done for them.—(Hear, hear.) 'He thought
the meeting on Monday night was got up by the landed in-
terest; but as he believed the interests of the working classes
were not considered, he was glad of the failure.—(Cheers.)
Several other weavers addressed the chair, when the reso-
lution was agreed to unanimously, and at twelve o'clock the
meeting-separated. ,

TO COMMERCIAL GENTLEMEN.
CROWN AND THISTLE INN, NEWCAS-
TLE-UPON-TYNE• .

An unfbunded report having been circulated that Mr. EDWARD
ROGERSON intended to LEAVE the Crown and Thistle Inn, and
which has a tendency to injure the above establishment, he deems it
necessary to give an unqualified contradiction_ to such report.
E. Rogerson takes the present opportunity of returning thanks to
his munerous Commercial Friends for past favours, and in soliciting
a continuance of their patronage, begs to assure them that every at-
tention shall be paid to secure their comfort.

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH B.—The
supply of wools from Germany having again become
temporarily suspended on account of the frost, this mar-
ket has been pretty well cleared of those descriptions,
which are at present the most in demand. Prices may
be quoted a shade higher.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 8. —We
have comparatively nothing doing in any description of
wools this week ; and in order to effect sales, it would
be necessary to submit to a reduction of ss. to 7s. 6d.
per pack from our highest quotations; but as stocks can-
not be replaced at this reduction, little is offering.
YORK WOOL MARKET.—We understand that this mar-
ket will commence on the 14th instant (the first Assize
week). _ _ _

LEEDS.—The supply of goods at our cloth halls this
week has been very small in such articles as are in pre-
sent demand, such as low wool black cloths; in common
colours; low qualities in blues and tweeds, which were
taken off very freely both on Saturday and Tuesday; but
fine goods, although a little more in demand than they
were, are yet very dull of sale. Prices are stationary,
but upon low goods, in consequence of the advance
upon wool, there is a considerable advance. Business
has rather improved in the warehouses during the week.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.— The late cold
weather has tended to retard the operations of the home
merchants in their purchases for the spring trade, which
is generally expected to be more than the average of
several years past, and as the stock of goods in the mar-
ket is low, there is a fair prospect of a healthy trade,
and present prices fully maintained. The demand for
yarn being fully equal to the production, there is no ac-
cumulation, and the contracts for March delivery have
been made at last month's prices. During the week
there has been a degree of langour in the wool market;
but there is no disposition shown to accept lower prices.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—
We have this week to report a decidedly more dull
market for cloth, and especially so for printing cloths,
which may be quoted sixpence a piece lower, and which
are heavy sale at that decline; the tendency since Tues-
day for this article is decidedly downwards. The gene-
ral opinion seems to be that the stape having seen its
height, prices will now fall, which makes anxious sellers
and shay purchasers for both goods and yarns. The de-
mand for the Bradford market is immense, and seems
every week to increase.—Leeds Merculy.

Mr. Francis Nicholson, the distinguished artist,
who has just died at the patriarchal age of ninety-one, was
the father of the water-colour school of painting in this
country. He was a man of true genius ; and eminent as was
his position as an artist, he was no less distinguished for his
practical knowledge of mechanics, music, optics, and che-
mistry. He also devoted much of his time to lithography,
for the advancement of which art England is much indebted
to him.

THIS IS THE ONLT COMPANY who aro bound by their deed
Of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that
It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their
value to the certainty of fhe contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality or caprioe of those who shall be
la the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims
arise; and fir this purpo4e the Company have, by a clause in their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any polioy, unless they undertake to prove that
it_was.obtotood from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. Tie
regulations common to all other Life companies, which make the
validity of assnrance.centracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which kayo given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued is the Courts, aid to many extra-judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.
THIS. IS THE ONLY COMPANY fern whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the sums In the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise, The
Company considering It only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to
the state of the accounting betweea the assured and kis debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THIS ONLY COMPANY who grant is favour
of creditors whole world policies,• whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the

assured, may ie continued for life, . the rates are as low as a due re-

Bard to complete security will pert

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1814.

The Journal des Chemins de Fer states that at a meeting
of the Cabinet Council, held on Friday, the Ministry decided
that the Orleans and Tours Railway Bill and the Paris and
Chartres Railway Bill should be presented to the Chambers
without delay.
" We have learned," says the Patrie," that some Italian emi-
grants resident in Paris, such as Lieut.-General Pepe, General
Busi, Count Mamianic, and Lovatelli, Amari, Canalli, Crema,
Leopardi, Montalegie, Roberchi, and Gonna, were this day
sent for to the I'refecture of Police. M. Delaport informed
them, that the French Government was acquainted with the
intrigues of M. Mappini, Chief of La Jeune Italie, for produc-
ing an insurrection in Italy, and he, as a friend, advised
them to abstain from taking any part in acts by which they
might be compromised."
"The Augsburgh Gazette gives the following from Posen,
25th ult. :—The fate of the Russo-Polish refugees is decided.
This morning about two-thirds of them were sent under escort
to Magdeburg. The remainder will follow in a few days,
with the exception of a few who have received permission to
stay until the end of March. Amongst the persons affected
by the measure are the Count de Plater, who has always re-
sided here in a very retired manner, and who recently pur-
chased an estate in the Grand Duchy; the rich Count de
Potocki, son-in-law of Count Edward de. Razzinhi ; Count
Eugene Breza ; and M. de Luszewski, who is the owner of
two houses in Posen."

With the exception of the Five per Cent. Stock,
the Funds on Saturday continued firm.

DRURY-LANE TUEATRE.—The second appearance of
Monsieur Duprez took place here on Saturday evening, when
the house was again crowded with all the rank and fashion
of London, notwithstanding it was the first night of the
Italian Opera season. Duprez infused, if possible, even greater
sweetness and energy into the character of Arnold than on
the evening of his debut, commanding at intervals the tears
and enthusiasm of his auditors. Although his terms are un-
derstood to be 100/. a night, yet such is his attraction, that
after mAkii3g this lipeial PaYuruti a handsome profit rowing,
