THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY l2, 1850

GERMANY.

The following is the address presented to the KING
by AL AUERSWALD immediately after the Members
of both Chambers had taken the oath to the Con-
stitution :

" Sire,—lt is the voice of the country which now
speaks to your Majesty through the mouth of its repre-
sentatives. History does not often record such days,
when free resolve meeting the worthy and naturally-
necessary yearning for that measure of freedom which,
whilst it elevates man, teaches him to acknowledge true
freedom in law and order; yet never did the Crown's
rays appear more brilliant, or the kingly power more
self-acknowledged and firm, than when, free even from
the appearance of compulsion, it admits paramount ne-
cessities, and follows alone the impulse of the spirit.
A mighty sentiment fills all patriotic (valerliindische)
hearts this day, as they look back upon the clouds preg-
nant with evil, which a short time past hung upon
Prussia's star-spangled firmament. Yes, thanks to Pro•
vidence, the love and pride of the land, Prussia's King,
can now say to his people—Your wishes are mine.
Union gives love. The import of these thanksgivings to
a higher power, which rules the hearts of kings as well
as the destinies of nations, indicates the extent of their
thanks, and of the sentiments which the country this
day offers to your Majesty. No further words are re-
quired to give expression to our loyalty."
It the conclusion of the address the KING rose and
bowed to the Members, and was received with loud
shouts of " God save the King 1" in the midst of
which his MAJESTY retired from the ball.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

By the packet ship Washington, Captain Hallett,
we have received advices from New York to the 25th
ult. The Niagara arrived at Halifax on the morn-

ence of Mr. Potter, United States Consul at Valpa-
raiso, charging Mr. Henry Stephen Sullivan, British
Charge d'Affaires to the Governor of Chili, with
having grossly insulted his wife, Mrs. Potter, whilst
staying at an hotel in Callao. The dispute appears
to have arisen about the right of certain rooms in an
hotel. Mr. Potter states, in his report to the Secre-
tary of State, that he inflicted a caning on Mr. Sul-
livan.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE asked the Noble
Lord what were the papers relating to the Dolly's Brae

THE GoLnronan.—The extraordinary excitement
which has prevailed in this country ever since the first
discovery cf the treasures of California, appears likely
to have a new impulse given to it by the publication of
a work bearieg the attractive title of " Adventures of a
Goldtinder, written by Himself." We understand that
this is a book of travels of a perfectly original character,
and that the accounts the author gives of his adven-
tures, particularly in the gold country, are so startling
that they may almost be deemed incredible.
WATER SUPPLY OF WESTMINSTER.—A public
meeting of the inhabit tuts of Westminster was held
yesterday at Willis'e Rooms, St. James's, convened by
the High Bailiff, in consequence of a r«quisition to take
into consideration the best means of securing an abun-
dant supply of wager at a reasonable rate. Mr. Smed-
ley, the High Bailiff, took the chair, and Mr. Homers-
ham attended on the part of the London (Watford)
Spring Water Company to explain that project to the
meeting. Mr. Wyld, M.P , as chairman of the Metro-'
politan Parochial Water supply Association, advocated
the principle of the association, and argued against add-
ing to the list of private companies. But an amendment
moved by Mr. Wyld was rejected, and a resolution
passed approving of the preposal of the Watford com-
pany, and a petition to Parliament in its favour was
therefore adopted.
We regret to hear that the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer continues indisposed, and will bo unable, for
some days, to attend to public business in the House of

THE COLONIES

Mr. BUTT presented several petitions from the co
lonies praying for a redress of various grievances.
POST-OFFICE.

Mr. FOX MAULE presented several petitions from
Scotland against the employment of officials i❑ the Go-
vernment offices on Sundays.
BUOYS AND LIGHTS ON THE LANCASHIRE
COAST.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from the megistra'es
and other officials of St. Nicholas, in Lancashire, com-
plaining that the buoys at,cl lights on the station had
been removed. They had in vain applied to the Admi-
ralty and the Trinity Board, and their only resource
now was to apply to that House ; and he gave notice
that he should, at a future period, call the attention of
the House to the case of the petitioner•,
SUNDAY LABOUR.

Mr. HUME also presented a petition from Montrose,
against the employment_ef any labour on Sundays.

EDUCATION.

Mr. W. J.! FOX gave notice that on an an early day
he should move that the House go into Committee to
consider the state of education in this country.
AUSTRALIA—STEAM ;COMMUNICATION.
Mr. SCOTT gave notice that he should ask a question
with respect to steam communication with Australia on
Friday evening next, and also with respect to a state-
ment in the report of the Council on the Crown lands in
that colony.
ALLIED AND DEPENDENT PRINCES OF INDIA.

Sir EDWARD COLEBROOKE postponed his mo-
tion for a Select Committee to inquire into the right of
succession of the allied and dependent Princes of India
till this day fortnight.
London, England, 1850-02-12

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

In answer to a question from Mr. MONSELL,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was his intention
to make a statement with respect to the distress in
Ireland.

Lord J. RUSSELL moved that on to-morrow, being
Ash Wednesday, the Houee should nit at two o'clock.

COLONIAL AFFAIRS.

Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH rose to move
for some papers connected with colonial affairs. He
had given notice to the effect that the colonies should
have self governments and perfect control of their own
affairs, but the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) bad wisely
and properly taken the subject into his own hands. As
a debate had ensued at considerable length, in the course
of which he bad had an opportunity of stating his views
and opinions in detail, he would not trespass at
any length on the attention of the House on the present
occasion, and would simply propose the resolution of
which he bad given notice. Nothing he:thought could
be more liberal than the principles a co •
lonial policy as laid down by the Noble
Lord; but he was sorry be did not intend
to apply them to that extend which, in his
(Sir William Moles worth's) opinion, was ne-
cessary for the complete and permanent contentment
of the colonies. He regretted to find that with re-
gard to Australia, the Noble Lord only intended to
proceed with the Bill of last year, which he thought
would require great alterati-m IN fore it passed the House.
and he should take the earliest opportunity of proposing
several amendments in the details when it came
before committee. He thought this colony ought
to have full power to alter or amend its
local institutions, and that it ought also to have an elec-
tive chamber and an elective governmeut. :The Bill as
proposed would give too much patronage in the appoint-
ment of colonial officers, a grievance which at the present
time was the cause of so much discontent. He ob-
jected also to the prophsal to maintain the present
arbitrary owers of the Colonial-office over the acts
and proceedings of the Colonial Legislature.
Having simply stated some of his objections to this
measure, he would not trespass further on the House,
and would conclude by moving for certain returns con-
nected with the colonies.

The motion for the returns, the nature of which we
did not catch, was then pnt in from the Chair, and
agreed to.

STRIKING JURIES IN IRELAND.
Mr. SADLEIR, in rising to move for a Select Com-
mittee, to inquire int) the facts connected with
the striking of the special jury, in the case of
" Callanan against Cameron," said he brought forward
without referhoce to any party or sect, either in or
out of the House, and declared his anxiety to see
equal justice dealt out to the Protestant as well as the

LORDS.

The Lord Chancellor will sit on Thursday and Friday
next in the House of Lords to hear appeals; and also
on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in next week. It
is generally understood to be the intention of his Lord-
ship (at least fur the present) to sit every week on Mon-
days, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in the House of Lords,
and on Wednesday', Fridays and Saturdays in the Court
of Chancery. It is also expected that his Lordship will
shortly resume his sittings in his court at Westminster,
instead of sitting in the Old Ball, Lincoln's Inn; and
that the other Equity Judges, following his example,
will also sit in their courts at Westminster.

The further arguments on this part-heard motion were
resumed, and occupied his Honour the whole morning.
The question in the case relates to a mill-stream near
Leeds, and possesses no feature of interest, except to the
parties concerned. i
(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
Causes totally devoid of any public interest occupied
the Court the whole morning.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor WIaRAM.)
His HONOUR having disposed of the case of Burton v.
Williams, which came before him as a short cause, pro-
ceeded to hear the further arguments on the part-heard
case of Smith v. Smith, which occupied the remainder of
the morning.

The Court sat in banco this morning and took the
special paper, but the arguments were on matters 80
purely technical as to render any report of the proceed-
ings unintelligible to the general reader.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster, before the Lord
CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)
FORD v. ELLIOTT AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES.
Mr. Chambers, Mr. Lush, and Mr. Charles Pollock
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cockburn, Mr. James,
and Mr. Hawkins for the defendants.
This was an action by which the plaintiff sought to
recover certain property or its value, which had been
taken by the defendants as assignees of a bankrupt
named lialstead, and upon which the plaintiff alleged
he had advanced the sum of 150/. to a person named
Cottrell, to enable him to take a public-house, called
the Town of Leith, in the neighbourhood of Wapping.
The defence was that the nerendants were entitled to
seize upon the goods in question as the assignee.; of
Halatcad, to who:e estate it was alleged they belonged.
The details of the case presented no feature of the
slightest public interest. The trial occupied a portion
of yesterday, and was not likely to conclude until a late
hour to-day.

THE POISONING CASE AT HACKNEY.
Yesterday Mr. William Baker, the coroner, re-
sumed for the fourth time, at the Fountain Tavern,
Upper Clapton, the investigation touching the death
of James Merritt, which took place early in the
morning of the 25th ult., from the effects of arsenic,
supposed to have been wilfully administered in gruel
by his wife.

The additional evidence adduced at the present in-
quiry was merely a repetition of that which took
place at Worship-street, on Saturday.
The CORONER having read over the evidence, the
jury, after half-an-hour's deliberation, returned the
following verdict :—" That the deceased, James Mer-
ritt, died from the deleterious effects of a mortal
poison, called white arsenic, found in his stomach,
but when, by whom, or in what manner the same
has been administered to and taken and imbibed
into the stomach, there is no satisfactory evidence to
prove."
The foreman of tie jury then handed in the follow-
ing recommendation, signed by thirteen of the jury :
" The jury, before they separate, wish to record
their opinion regarding burial-clubs, as they are at
present constituted ; they view them with fear, inas-
much as they seem to hold out a premium fir the
frightful crime of secret murder, through the facility
with which the funeral money is obtained, several
cases having recently come to light the facts of
which are startling, and on which their fears are
founded, besides the many they may presume to have
escaped discovery. The jury, in thus noticing the
evil tendency of these burial societies, from which is
obtainable a sum of money upon the death of a mem-
ber, are desirous that they should be differently con-
stituted, either by.the act of their governors, or that
some legislative measure be made to control or
guide them."

The CORONER stated that he had just received in-
formation that the son of the deceased, a boy eight
years of age, had died that afternoon, and he should
consider whether it would be necessary to hold an
inquest on the body.

SOUTLI-EASTERN RAILWAY--ASHFORD, RYE, AND
HASTINGS BRANCIL—The electric telegraph is completed
and at work on this line as far as Rye. In consequence of an
extensive slip near Hastings the line will not be opened
for traffic for at least three weeks. It is satisfactory to be
enabled to state that the Commissioners of Railways are of
opinion that the whole of the alterations made by the South-
Eastern Company, but objected to by the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Company, arc consistent with the public
safety, and not prejudicial to the public interests, and that
as to some of the alterations, they are calculated to improve
the line.

LIBERALITY OF A JEW.

At the sale of the valuable collection of the late
Mr. C. Mainwaring, of Coleby, Lincoln, which has
already extended over nineteen days, a series of lots,
ten in number, were catalogued for sale, and headed
as having been intended for Hackthorne Church ,
they consisted of an altar table, of Spanish mahogany,
elaborately carved, two splendid chairs, devotional
stools, &c., and cost the late proprietor nigh 3001.
The surprise of the public was great that these lots
should be offered for sale, the intention of Mr. Main-
waring being so well known, and the name of the
parish carved upon part of the furniture ; but the in-
tended donor dying intestate, his executors ordered
the sale of all his effects without reserve. A lesson
was, however, taught them on Thursday, by Mr. Ben-
jamin Benjamins, a Jew broker of London. On lot
3,122 being put up, Mr. Benjamins addressed the
auctioneer, and said the lot now put up, together
with the nine following ones, were intended by the
late Mr. Mainwaring as a present to Hackthorne
Church, and he regretted, as he believed every one
in that room did, that the articles had not been
presented to the church, instead of being offered
for sale that day. He, therefore, now begged to say
that it was his intention to buy the whole, and pre-
sent them himself to the Christian temple or Church
at Hackthorne, and he, therefore, asked the auc-
tioneer to put up the ten lots in one. This proposal
was received with much applause by the company,
upon whom it came quite unexpectedly, Mr. Legh,
! one of the co-heirs, begging to be allowed to join Mr.
Benjamins in his very handsome offer. The auction-
eer, finding the company not averse to the proposal,
put up the ten lets in one, and called on Mr. Benja-
mins to name his bidding. Mr. Benjamins then offered
101. for the whole, at which nominal sum the auction-
eer paused, and said that it was out of character ;
Benjamins replied that he had offered quite

that the articles ought never to have been
in the catalogue, and that it was discreditable to the
parties who had permitted it, and he was sure that
neither Christian nor Jew would oppose him, and that

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov, 5.
(Sittings in Banco.)
MACGREGOR V. GALWORTIEIY.
In this caw, which was triel at the sittings for Mid-
dl,.sr>x in June last, ih fire Lord Campbell, a verdict
passed for the plaintiff, damages 401. It was an action
brought against the High Bailiff of the Bloomsbury
County Court. The defendant had obtained a judg-
ment in that County Court against the plaintiff for 151.,
with 31. 9s. casts. Ex.ecutiou issued in the usual man-
ner on this judgment, and the bailiff proceeded to the
plaintiff's residence, but being denied admission, he got
in at the window by means of a chair. Hence the pre-
seat action.

Mr. WHATELY, Q.C., now moved for a rule to show
cause, first, why the verdict should not be set aside and
a new trial had; and, secondly, why the whole proceed-
ings should not be wholly set aside on the ground that
the plaintiff was a married woman at the time of the
action, which incapacitated her from bringing such an
action. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read
certain affidavits to prove that the plaintiff was the wife
of a person named lie Hand, and had taken advantalc of
her privilege as a married woman on the commence-
ment of the proceedings in the County Court.
The COURT thereupon granted a rule to show cause,
and in the meantime ordered the whole proceedings in
the Court below to be stayed, and to abide the issue of
the rule nisi.
