MR. HENRY HALLAM.—We have received with
great regret intelligence of the death of Mr. Henry Hallam,
only surviving son of the eminent historian of the " Middle
Ages." This melancholy event took place at Sienna on the
return of Mr. Hallam and his family from a short visit to
Rome. It will be remembered by the large class of friends
and admirers to whom Mr. Hallam is justly endeared that
a similar misfortune, almost identical in some of its circum-
stances, bereaved him several years ago of an eldest son,
whose genius and whose virtues had singularly endeared him
to all his contemporaries. So sudden and so painful an
affliction has seldom fallen twice upon the same family;
and it is increased by the premature close of another lite rich
in every promise of personal excellence and professional dis-
tinction.

THE MURDER IN JERSEY.—The following are the
ternis of the verdict of the jury which sat to inquire into the
means whereby Mrs. Carlton came by her death :—"That
the said Mary M'Donald, wife of Edward Carbon, or Carle-
ton, died of the consequences of a wound inflicted by the said
Carlton, or Carleton, ou his said wife, with a knife or other
instrument." On Saturday Carlton was brought before the
Jersey Royal Court to plead to an indictment tramed against
him by the Crown officers for witul murder. He, through his
advocate, entered a plea of "Not Guilty," and with reserva-
tion of the point that the indictment was not in accordance
with the verdict. Carlton seemed quite at his ease before the
Court, betraying no signs whatever of anxiety or fear.

SOUTH WALES IRON WORKS.—lncreased activity
is apparent in portions of the great mineral field in South
Wales, particularly in the neighbourhood of Bridgend and
Maesteg. It is currently reported that the Maesteg Iron
Works, which have been closed during the last four years,
will very shortly be reopened under extremely favourable
circumstances. At the Garth works an increased number of
men have been employed, and in the underground works
greater activity is visible. Surveys have been undertaken
preparatory to the formation of new tramways, the' opening
of fresh levels, and extension of air and ventilating pits.
The Lyhvi works are likewise to be enlarged by the addition
of a new mill, to the finishing department.—Carmarthen
Journal.
AMERICAN RAILWAY CARRIAGES.—Our engineers
have not yet thought 5t to give the American eye/ern of
carriages a trial, although they appear not unworthy of it.
For our own part, we are induced to think that it would be
a great convenience to be able to stand upright in a carriage
when tired of sitting—that we would rather take a cup of
coffee or a chop on the way, than be compelled to leave a
half-tasted meal at Swindle'em station (where we have paid
at a rate that justifies the present occupant giving 20,0001.
fur the good will), or else have to stop at Birmingham an
hour, when we don't want to stop at all—that a little artifi-,
cial warmth during winter would not be unacceptable in this
climate - and that, finally, atter enduring all this and much
more, it would be a more sensible plan to take our tickets
toward the latter end of the journey than to keep us wait-
ing some ten minutes outside the station while that enliven-
ing ceremony is being performed. The complaint of a tra-
veller that the draught is unpleasant in a long undivided
carriage would apparently be met by giving each double seat
a blind, which might be drawn tit pleasure, but we do not
think there is much weight in this objection, or the Ameri-
venieece for the comfort of their passengers, would not tole-
cans, who provide ice water in summer, and a place of con-
rate such an arrangement.—Artiran.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night :—]

GERMANY.

According to the Cologne Gazette great delight
prevailed in the Court circle at Vienna at the result
of the Warsaw conference. The Oesterreichischer
Correspondent declarea that there can be no doubt—
" That the state of affairs all over Germany is begin-
ning to display itself in a light as happy as it is honour-
able for Austria and her faithful allies of the Band."
It was reported that Marshal Radetzky had been
called from Milan to Vienna by a telegraphic message.
The movements of large bodies of Austrian troops
in the direction of Hesse still continued.
A third edition of the Cologne Gazette, published
on Monday morning, contains the following obscure
telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, dated Sunday
evening :

" According to intelligence which reached this city in
the course of yesterday, Austria has drawn practical
deductions from the results of the Congress at Warsaw,
in consequence of which deductions, coupled with the
recent events which have occurred in Hesse, a new turn
in the position of affairs has taken place here in Berlin.
"The Deutsche Reform of this morning contains an
article on the Cabinet Council of yesterday, which ex-
presses a firm confidence in the maintenance of peace."
According to the Berlin papers it was supposed that
the deliberations in the Cabinet had taken a turn un-
favourable to the views of M. Radowitz, who was,
however, supported by the King and the Prince of
Prussia. It was still uncertain what effect the entry
of the Bavarians into Hesse would have on the ques-
tion of peace or war.
ENTRY OF THE PRUSSIANS INTO HESSE.

According to advices from Cassel, of the 2d inst.,
the 18th Regiment of Prussian Infantry, accompanied
by a squadron of Hussars and a battery of artillery,
entered that town on the morning of. that day, after
a very severe forced night march. These troops were
sent off by General Groeben from Warburg, as soon
as he received intelligence of the entry of the Ba-
varians and Austrians on the opposite side of the
Electorate. The military posts in Cassel were occu-
pied by the Burgher Guard. The reception of the
Prussian troops by the inhabitants was quiet but
friendly.
The Berlin Ministerial journal of the 2d has the
following on the invasion of Hesse by Bavarian

troops :
" When we yesterday endeavoured to shadow forth
the expectations of a peaceful solution of the pending
controversies that might be derived from the result of
the conferences at Warsaw, we did not believe that so
soon, that a few:hours afterwards only, intelligence would
arrive which, in spite of the pacific exertions of the
greet Powers, would favour the apprehensions of war.
The dispatch that announces the entrance of the Bava-
rians into Hanau has again directly raised the possibility
of a conflict, which Prussia might have avoided from a
'ewe of the interests of all, but which she cannot avoid
if it is, as in the present case, arrogantly provoked.
" We cannot refrain from expressing an anticipation
that the readiness to enter into a common coarse of
action shown by the two great Powers will produce a
timely arrangement of the provocation that has been
thus given; and we are compelled to believe that it was
only the impatience of a subordinate Power, which did
not find in a peaceful understanding between the great
States an advantage to its specific and particular
aims, that only to the one-sided over hastiness of
Bavaria is to be attributed the blame of the completest
march into Hesse. But however that might be, this
march is, on the part of our Government, announced as
the signal of the practical intervention of Prussia, and
however willingly it would have entertained exclusively
the hope of peace, yet it will not, and cannot, in an un-
justified confidence, set aside, the direct duties which the
position of Prussia lays upon it."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Hanzburgh Nachrichten of the 2d instant,
publishes intelligence relative to the mission of Ge-
neral Hahn to the Stadtholderate, who have given
their reply to the proposals made by that officer
on behalf of Prussia. The conditions upon which the
negotiation of an armistice will be agreed to by the
Stadthalterschaft are said to be-1. The evacuation by
the Danish troops of all that part of
Schleswig, south of the line of demarcation drawn
in accordance with the Berlin armistice,
including the island of Febmar and the islands be-
longing to Schleswig, west of the same, together with
the clngeln district, north of the line of demarcation,
and west of Rendshurg and the market town of Hoya,
the whole of which is to be governed by the Stadt-
holderate along with Holstein. 2. The removal of
the Danish vessels from the coast of the Duchies. 3.
The surrender of all prisoners of war and political
prisoners, and of all private property confiscated
on political grounds. 4. The discharge of all
persons belonging to the Duchies forced to enter
the Danish service against their will. 5. Every fa-
cility to be offered to the carrying on of trade and
navigation. 6. The armistice to be concluded for one
year, and to be continued for beyond that term by
silent consent, a notice of six weeks being required for
its discontinuance. From Lubeck we are informed
that the police authorities have put a stop to the
weekly collections of the clubs in favour of the
Schleswig-Holstein cause by virtue of an ancient
statute " against foreign beggars and their collectors."
A similar course has also beext adopted in Berlin.
