LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH is, viso.

About nine summers back a little pamphlet was

published in London commending to the attention of
the people and of the Legislature the necessity of
evincing more care for the comforts and the education
of the "Mariners of Englend." It has afforded
us high gratification to observe that a second
edition of this exeellent brochure* has just
appeared, preceded by a recommendatory let-
ter addressed by the author to the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, the Right
llon. HENRI LABOUCHERE. From the generous
character of the suggestions offered by the pamphle-
teer, and from the respectful attention hitherto shown
towards his unselfish and patriotic recommendations,
we are sanguine that more than a few incidental hints '
may be taken from his advice, and that if the whole
of his scheme, as it is here sketched out, be not carried
out et ith a scrupulous exactitude, some plan in
accordance with it may be adopted by the
Administration. The latter effect of the present
appeal in fact, what we principally hope, and what
we may without temerity anticipate from the hinds
of the ruling Government. Not an administrator
atnonte,-st those constituting the -Russell Cabinet
o•-t cordially in the desire
but must sympathise m
thus characteristically expressed by Mr. Boon,
that our living statesmen may " realise the
highest honour in bringing into existence a
- system which will/ take the sailor under convoy from
tha moment he prepares for the stormy !life of a sea-
boy, and, offering him help in distress, from

MARYLEBOIVE.

On Saturday a respectably-dressed young man,
named William Baxter was placed at the bar, before
Mr. Long, fur re-examination on the charge of having
uttered forged notes.

Mr. Denton, on the part of the Bank of England,
requested that a remand might take place, as he had
reason to believe that more cases against the prisoner
would be substantiated on a future day.
The prisoner stands committed upon the two
charges which have been brought against him ;
and, in order to afford the Bank authorities time
to get up other evidence, he will be brought up again
on Wednesday next.

LAMBETH.

Mr. Alexander Timmins Mark!, a surgeon, re-
siding with his father, a medical man, in Marlborough-
place, Walworth, appeared before the llon. G. C.
Norton on an affiliation summons.

Mr. Games, in stating the case on behalf of the
complainant, said, that in all his professional experi-
ence he did not recollect one of a more dastardly or
heartless description, and he was happy to saylhat
courts of justice were not often called on to exercise
their jurisdiction on conduct such as that of which the
defendant was guilty. In the year 1843 the young
woman in the witness box, Rhoda Southgate, who
was the daughter of most respectable parents, entered
the service of the father of the defendant, a medical
gentleman, carrying on his profession in Marlborough-
place, Walworth-road, and remained there till about
six months ago, when her pregnancy was discovered,
and when she was turned out of the house. For some
considerable time the defendant paid his addresses to
the young woman, and not only promised her
marriage, but actually wrote to her father to obtain
his consent to their union; and under the most
solemn assurance of making her his wife he succeeded
in seducing her, and the result was the birth, during
the last month, of a female child. This, however,
was not the worst part of his conduct towards the
complainant. The poor girl, from her wages of 101.
a year, bad managed to save 301., and every farthing
of this money the defendant borrowed from her, so
that soon after she had been turned out of her situa-
tion she became penniless; and, being ashamed to
return to her family and friends, the poor thing would
have famished from want had it not been for the kind-
ness of a poor old woman who afforded her a port of
her bed, and the assistance of some benevolent indi-
viduals in the neighbourhood. The defendant having
accomplished his object in seducing the poor girl, and
also borrowing every farthing she had, completely
deserted her, and never assisted her with a single shil-
ling in her helpless situation ; and had it not been
for the humanity of others, she must, as he had be-
fore stated, have perished from want. In conclusion,
Mr. Games read a letter, which the defendant acknow-
ledged to be in his handwriting, and of which the fol-
lowing is a verbatim copy :
" Marlborough-ela:e, Wal worth-road.

.Madrid journals of the sth have been received.
M. GEORGE DIAZ, who some time ago sent a chal-
lenge to General N A RVAER, has been condemned for
that offence to a hoe of 55 piastres, and sixteen
months' banishment from Madrid, or from any other
town in which the President of the Council may hap-
pen to reside. General Ros DE OLANO has been ap-
pointed Captain-General of. Algeciras.
It appears that the appointment of General SER-
RANO to the post of Captain-General of Madrid, on
which IN ARVAEZ insists, Is violently opposed by the
Christina section of the Cabinet, and that a Minis-
terial crisis may be in consequence apprehended. It

is said that the Government is about to borrow thirty
millions of reals, to be spent in completing the
fortifications of Cuba, and dfraying the expenses
of the naval force to be sent to defend that island
against the intrigues of certain United States
c:tizens.

We have received accounts from Madrid of the sth
inst., which mention that the Cabinet never contem
plated to appoint General SERRANO to the Govern-
ment of Madrid. The successor of General MIRA-
seL was not vet known. It was believed, how-
ever, that General CORDOVA would, on his return
from Italy, assume the direction of the War Depart-
ment, and that General FIGUERAS, the present Mi-
nister, would be nominated Captain-General of
Seville in the room of General SCHELLY. The latter
would in that case succeed General MtaAsor. as Cap-
tain-General of Madrid, and General SERRANO would
be called to the post of Director of the Staff, vacated
by General SANZ, who was to be invested with the
government of Catalonia.

HUNGARY AND TURKEY.

We have received some farther ,information con-
cerning the behaviour of the Hungarian refugees,
when it became known that they must positively
leave Shumla for Kutahia. When ACHMET EFFENDI,
who reached ghumla on the sth February, began
to make preparations for the departure of the
fugitives, KOSSITTH declared to him that he
would rather shoot himself than consent to be
rernovd to Asia. To this the diplomatist, with
true Turkish phlegrna, replied that "it was a
pity to anticipate that fate from which none can
escape, but that man would often follow his
inspirations:" Eossu'ru subsequently addressed a
brilliant speech to his followers in order to excite
them to accompany him, but with little success.
CASIMIR BATTIIYANT intended to have attempted to
escape before ACUMET EFFENDI'S arrival, but the
Turks by seizing his horses defeated his plans ; be
seemed much moved on hearing that he must pro-
ceed with the others to Asia. DEMBINSKI:- having
pleaded illness, the Turkish Commissioner has de-
mand further instructions from Constantinople.
MESSARDS and STEIN (Ferhad) were much cast down ;
MAURICE PERCZEL, on the contrary, declared that he
willingly went into exile, as he would never have
even if permission had been

between BALLOGH and his son. The former, as a
renegade, was to be removed to Aleppo, while his
son, as a Christian, was to proceed to Kutahia.
The idea of being separated from his son almost
drove the old man mad. He declared that be
had been vilely deceived by the Turkish Go-
vernment, and throwing his " fez" at the
feet of AcnAtsi. EFFENDI, swore that he would
rather die than remain a Mussulman. At one o'clock
on the 15th, the mournful procession started. Kos-
sm.'', who had previously committed his last will to
the hands of the Turkish Commissioner, sat buried in
his cloak in a corner of his carriage ; his wife ac-
companied him. BATTIIYANY, though the expression
of his countenance was sad, sat as proudly as ever in
his saddle. The Countess was in a close carriage.
'The others, to about the number of 58, followed
pell-mell.

symmetry as ever fi'mted on the water. They will
probably join the Indefatigable at Lisbon, under the
orders of Captain Martin, of the Prince Regent, who
commands the experimental squadron on that station.
The three frigates will have, as nearly as possible, the
same number of men, the same quantity of provisions,
the same mats, yards, sails, rigging, anchors, cables,
boats, guns, and shot. The Indefatigable carries the
heaviest armament of the three ; but the Phaeton and
Arethusa will have armaments and-equipments alike.
The Arethusa has no ballast whatever, whilst the
Phaeton carries upwards of two-hundred tuns of iron
ballast.

The above analysis of returns of Welsh and English
services in the Principality is certainly a strong proof
that the Welsh have no small reason to complain; and
it is not surprising that with such a ;miserable supply of
spiritual consolation the Cambrians have been driven to
provide themselves with native pastors, their cry for
Welsh bishops and their petitions to Parliament for re-
dress being systematically disregarded. The result is
that the Independent denomination alone have about 118

NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Captain Horatio T. Aus-
tin, C. 8., con-unander of the new Arctic expedition,
came to this port last night to consult with Captain
Sir Edward Barry. We are authorised to state that
there is no foundation whatever for the report pub-
lished last Sunday in a local paper that Captain
Austin would be knighted before leaving England.
Commander Mcorsotr, of her Majesty's ship Ex-
cellent (additional), arrived at this port last night
from London, and will proceed with further experi-
ments with shell to-morrow. Captain Moorscm
has approached nearer perfection with his projectile
than any ot:ler Engli!th officer.

A very beautiful model of her Majesty's yacht
Fairy, with ,screw fixed, and in working condition,
executed by Llr. Henry Horn, a shipwright in this
dockyard, was placed on board the Fairy on Friday
when Prince Albert crossed the Solent in her to
Cowes, and his Royal Highness was so struck and
pleased with the 'ingenuity and elegance of the work-
manship that he took it with him on his return as a
present to the Queen.

FREIGHT MONEY.
The following is an abstract of a return ordered
the 21st of February, 1850, on the motion of Sir
George Brooke Pechell, of all freight money paid
into Greenwich Hospital since the 17th of March,
1849, with the name of the ship or vessel in which
the treasure was conveyed, and of the officer com-
manding the same:—

s. d.
On account of -privat, treasure
On vcourit of public treasure • 127 16 2

Total 7,853 15 2
Of which sum

The Fury, Conatuan.der Wilcox, paid 611 0 5
The Calypso, Captain Wort.), paid 2,790 50'
The Constance, Captain Courtney, paid 1,773 13 10
The share of all freight-money due to Greenwich
Hospital is one-fourth, the Admiral or Commander-
in-chief on the station being entitled to one-fourth,
and two-fourths to the captain or officer conveying
the. treasure.

A meeting will be held on Tuesday, at Green-row
Rooms, in this garrison, to found a "sailor's home,"
so much needed at a port like this. Admiral Sir
Francis ismsten, K.C.8., will preside, and we fer-
vently hope that so truly desirable an object will
meet with unanimous support.
A court of inquiry will be held to-morrow on
board the. Victory to investigate the cause of the
Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. Allen, acting Master-
Commanding, getting ashore on the St.. Alban's Heal,
in her passage from Plymouth to this port on the
morning of Friday last. She hung for upwards of
twenty hours. On the news of this catastrophe
reaching the Admiral's ears, the Fanny tender and
Echo steam-tug were ordered to her assistance; they
were on their passage yesterday, when the Sprightly
hove in sight, having got off the rocks without assis-
tance. She will be docked to ascertain the damage.
She bas linccked the copper off her bottom and her
fore foot, &c.

The above analysis of returns of Welsh and English
services in the Principality is certainly a strong proof
that the Welsh have no small reason to complain; and
it is not surprising that with such a :miserable supply of
spiritual consolation the Cambrians have been driven to
provide themselves with nativo pastors, their cry for
Welsh bishops and their petitions to Parliament for re-
dress being systematically disregarded. The result is
that the Independent genomination alone have about 118
Welsh chapels in the diocese of Llandaff, and the Cal-
vinistic Methodists 108 chapels ; and the Welsh Baptists
are equally numerous; while the Independents have 217
Welsh chapels in St. David's diocese, and the Calvinistic

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GVILDFL!LL.

On Saturday Charles Jiadincy was charged with
steali,:g 4,320 skins of gold-leat, and about 1,000
leave,: of gold in the course of manufacture, and a1,,0
8 dwts. of gold shruff or waste, of the value of 801.,
the property of Mr. Quin, a goldheater, in Fetter-
lane. _

It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses,
who were examined at some length, that the pri-
soner had been in the employ of the prosecutor only
three weeks. On Thursday night last he remained
in the shop after the other worhinen had left. The
property was then safe. The men were about pro-
ceeding to their work the next morning as uQual,
when it was discovered that all the hooks upon which
they were preparing to work had been abstracted.
Three more upon which the prisoner had been em-
ployed, and which were partially filled with gold-
leaf, were also missing, together with about 8 dwts.
of gold•dust. Several circumstances tended to fix
suspicion on the prisoner, amnongs`• whers that of re-
maining after the other workmen had departed on
the night of the robbery, when he was distinctly
heard to unscrew the presse.: where the missing
property was placed. No property was found at his
lodgings, but the prisoner had sent his wife to fin
mingham on Thursday, having married her only two
days before.

The prisoner, in his defence, said he was innocent,
and that he was the victim of the conspiracy of the
other journeymen, because he was working at lower
prices. He had been summoned before the trade
committee on Saturday last.

Mr. Ablerman MoON said that it was in his favour
that no part of the property had been traced to him,
but there were grounds of suspicion which justified
further inquiry. lie remanded the prisoner until
Thursday.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Thomas Chapman was charged with abusing and
kicking his mother, Mary Chapman.
The complainant said she was going down stairs
when her son caught hold of her feet, swore he
would break her head, and kicked her into the shop.
Complainant had a whip, with which she struck the
defendant, but he took the whip away and struck her
with it. Her son was in the habit of striking her.
Ann Foster, who witnessed the assault, said the
language of the son towards his mother was usally of
the most dreadful description. He was in the habit
of striking his mother,
Mr. HARDWICK said he never heard a more die-
gusting and brutal case. The defendant must pay a
fine of 5/, or go to prison fur two months.

ITALY.

The Piedniontese Gazette gives an account of the
religious ceremony which took place on the 4th at
Turin, to commemorate the proclamation of the Con-
, stitution. All the public offices were closed. The
deputations of the two Chambers, the Municipality,
the National Guard, and an immense assemblage of
people, assisted at the solemn service performed in
the church of the Great Mother of God. Over the
door of the church was the following inscription :
" To God, who made us free, the senators and depu-
ties, the Municipality. and National Guard, in cele-
brating the second anniversary of the Statute, offer up
a fervent prayer, that He render us virtuous, unitel, and
strong, in orthr to maintain our liberty."
In the evening, about seven, P.M., a crowd of peo-
ple assembled on the Piazza Castella, who, under pre •
tense of celebrating the anniversary, and of giving
marks of approbation to the Ministry, soon spread
themselves about the city, calling upon the citizens
to illuminate their windowe, and even forcing them
to it by throwing stones and breaking panes. The
disturbance became so serious, that the authorities at
last were obliged to arrest some persons caught in
the fact. The Risorgimento. in mentioning these
disturbances, expresses itself as if the great majority
of inhabitants had spontaneously commenced the illu-
mination, long before they had been called upon by
the crowd to do so, whence it would appear that
acts of violence had only been committed against a
few houses that had not followed the general
example.
In the sitting of the Chamb,r of Deputies at Turin
on the Gth, in reply to que:lions relative to the arm-
ine,its of Austria on the Llge Maggiore, the Presi•
dent of the C pencil and the Minister of War replied
that the Government, in case of necessity, would
know how to take the measures requisite to secure
the independence and dignity of the country. The
Administration of Public Safety has issued a note
warning the peaceable inhabitants of Turin not to
form part of any public assemblies.

AWFUL DEPRAVITY.—A horrible crime has come
to light at Cambridge within these few days. A Ger-
man Jew, named Tepper, a teacher of foreign languages
in the University, and who had been residing on the
Chesterton-mad, has violated his own daughter, an in-
teresting child, between six and seven years of age. The
miscreant lost his " dear wife," as he called her, about
twelve months ago, and soon after the crime alluded to
occurred: he also subjected the child to ruffianly treat-
ment in other ie3pects. Lately he engaged a fresh
housekeeper, to whom the child detailed the brutality of
her parent. Through her instrumentality, Tepper was
on Saturday taken into custody, and heard before the
county magistrates. In their presence he solemnly pro
tested his innocence; but Mr. Thurnall, surgeon, proved
the capital offence to have been perpetrated, and on that
charge he stands committed for the assizes. He is a
tall, very dark, repulsive looking man, about 40, and has
for a long time in Cambridge been playing the game
of the converted Jew with considerable success
amongst some generously disposed Christians.. -Stan
