ST. HELEN'S SAVINGS' BANS. The total amount
of defalcation, speaking from data which have been col-
lccted is about 10,000/., or rather, we should say, that
sum will char it, and it is believed Mr. Johnson and his
brother have sufficient property to cover it. The amount
of the bank liabilities has been represented as 13,0001. ;
it is supposed they should be 23,000/. Though the
trustees have not got them, there can bo no doubt that
the fraud was carried on by means of duplicate books,
and Mr. Johnson appears to have regularly entered and
paid interest, from some source or other, upon the
amounts abstracted to the accounts from which they
were taken, and also to have made an account straight
where he found the parties in whose name it stood were
about to alter it, and there was a danger of an expose.
This, however, be effected by merely taking sufficient
from some other account, or, in Commons phraseology,
" robbing Peter to pay Pau)." Of course the sub-
actuary, his brother, who kept the books, was cognizant
of all thie, as he admits, and actually effected the
transfer; but he denies that ho got any pecuniary
benefit. It is but justice to state that both brothers have
m ide over the whole t f their property, by a legal instru-
ment, to the trustees, to be applied in liquidation ef the
claim upon them; and it is thought that, if the sum
eventually made out be net more than 10,0001. or
12,000/., that there will be sufficient asset'. We trust
this msy be truce—Manchester Courier.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1850.

No doubt can any longer be entertained that the
Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations,
destined for celebration in the ensuing year, will be
one commensurate in every particular with the
grandeur of the enterprise. After the magnificent
meeting convened yesterday in the Egyptian Hall, at
the M ansion- house, there cannot possibly, on this
point, be any further hesitation. Besides, as was fe-
licitously observed by one of the Right Honourable
Speakers, not the least distinguished among the Mem-
bers of her MAJEsTv's Government, there are certain
figures of arithmetic worth all the figures of rhetorc
in the universe—and in neither the one nor the
other were the proceedings of yesterday defi-
cient. While fourteen orators proclaimed the
immense advantages, and eulogized the bene-
ficent tendencies, of the undertaking, in
speeches of various, and, in one or two
instances, of consummate ability the secretary
indicated the auspicious development of the project
by reading aloud a brief but comprehensive list of
the most munificent subscriptions. This catalogue
of voluntary contributions towards the liquidation of
all incidental expenses may be regarded, we repeat,
as at once brief and comprehensive—brief, when con-
trasted with the magnitude of the scheme adventured ,
upon, but comprehensive as comprising represen-
tatives', of almost_ every important class of the com-

MURDER OF GENERAL BEM.

The Breslauer Zeitung has letters from Vienna e

the 18th, announcing the decease of General Bern,
~ho'''fought in 1848 in Vienna, and in 1849 in
Hungary. It appears from letters from Systow, of
the 2d inst., that General Bern died suddenly, and
(it is asserted) from poison. This news of
course requires confirmation ; for since General
Bem is known to have protested that he
was doomed to die in the year 1850, nothing
is more likely but that some of the Sclavonian
newsmakers have attempted to amuse the world with
a fictitious report of his death. The details of the
alleged death of General Bem are, that the Porte,
having entered into an engagement not to employ
him in military service, found it too onerous to pay
the General a large salary which they had promised
hire, and that the Sultan's Ministers thought proper
to remove the burden by dispatching the annuitant.
The Hungarian and Polish refugees were to be
transported to Asia on the .12th inst.
We copy the above from the second edition of the
Times.

Of the death of general Bem we fear there can be
no doubt, and equally little doubt is there that he
has fallen a victim to the infernal plot concocted by
the Austrian Government and their agents for
the assassination of the Hungarian refugees.
The Constantinople correspondent of the French
National states expressly that the persons
arrested at Varna, declared that the plot was
to assassinate the chief refugees, and to accuse the
Turkish authorities of the crime—a plot which we
now see is carried out to the letter by the Austrian
reactionaries and their newswriters. The Austrians,
not the Turks, are the murderers. Poisoning
is par excellence a Lorraine-Hapsburgh crime.

T URKE Y

AUSTRIAN CONSPIRACY TO MURDER KOS-
SUTII AND HIS COMPANIONS.
There can now be no doubt cf the existence of a
conspiracy to murder KOSSTIT/I and his companions
in exile, in which conspiracy the Austrian G-lvern-
ment and its Minister at Constantinople are deeply
implicated, if they are not (as is most probably the
case) its originators and concocter.
The author of " Revelations of Russia," has ad-
dressed a letter to two of the English Morning jour-
nals, in which he states that he has 'received a letter
from Kossurrr, late President-Governor of Hungary,
bearing date Dec. 17, 1849, which contains the fol-
lowing passage :
" The Turkish authorities gave us notice the other
day of a conspiracy against nay life. But they do not
venture to expel the bravoes they hate pointed out."
The reason why these bravoes are not expelled is
that every one of them bear Austrian passports, and
are under Austrian protection. It would be well that
the Red EMPEROR should add to his other titles (the
list of which occupies some page or so of " The Gothia
Almanac") that rrotector of Assassins. Ilow long,

we again ask, will the Sovereigns of the world suffer
their G.iurts to be desecrated • by the presence of the
representatives of this monster ? Is it quite safe for
a Minister like Lord PALMERSTON, who may per-
chance be honoured by the hatred of the Red EM-
PEROR, to permit an Austrian to approach his person ?

therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-

It transpired when the case was first heard, that

%%here the passengers alighted they should have been
at once examined and destroyed ; instead of which
the prisoners, by collusion, continued to pass off-the
old tickets again and again, and share amongshem-
selves the produce of their sale. ;..
Mr. Cattarns stated that, owing to the continued
absence of the principal delinquent (Jackson), the
money-taker at the London-pier, he was unable to
proceed with the case. If at the expiration of a second
remand he should be in the same position, the com-
pany would probably have to proceed by indictment.
The prisoners (by their attorneys) urged the utter
absence of evidence to justify their detention beyond
the statements of Callaghan, and eventually
Mr. JARDINE consented to liberate the Horlocks
and Jeffrey, on entering into their own recognizances
to appear in a fortnight, to answer any charge that
might then be preferred against them. His Worship
required Callaghan to provide two sureties in 201.
each, in addition to his personal recognizances, to ap-
pear at the same time.

Tux HAGUE, JAN. 23.—111 s MAJESTY and the
other members of the Royal Family have returned to
the Hague. The Staats Courant publishes the
budget of ways and means for 1850. The sum total
of the receipts is estimated at 70,994,969 florins.
This includes ground rents, 9,966,000 florins ; per-
sonal tax, 5,998,000 florins; patent tax 2,446,000
florins; excise, 19,125,560 florins ; indirect taxes,
9,108,000 florins; import, export, and' ship dues,
4,533,340 florins; Post-office, 1,130,000 florins.
The Staats Courant also publishes a statement of
the income of the State during 1849, from which it
appears that it amounted to 54,022,811 florins.
The Handelsblad states that the heirs of the late
King WILLIAM are in treaty with the Emperor
NICHOLAS for the purchase of the valuable collection
of pictures in the Gothic hall of the Palace of the
Hague. The QUEEN DOWAGER has offered a very
considerable sum to secure this treasure to Holland,
but it is far below its real value.

The electors will meet on Monday next in the Law

PRIN CESS'S THEATRE.

Xing Charles the Second was repeated last night,
for the thirty -fifth time since its production in October
last—no small proof of its popularity. Harrison,
Madame Macfarren, and especially the Fairy Queen
of Song, Louisa Pyne, are heard in it to great advan-
tage. Mina is played to-night for the last time this
season, and on Monday Halevy's Val d'Andorre is to
be brought out, which it is confidently expected will
prove a brilliant hit. The pantomime continues to
run with undiminished attraction. It is difficult to
say whether Honey's impersonation of King Jamie,
or Herbert's, at the Olympic, of the hero of Sinde,
is the more extraordinarily ludicrous. The unparal-
leled Flexmore is a tower of strength to this or any
theatre ; and his coadjutors, one and all, acquit them-
selves admirably. The marvellous flexibility of
Wright, who is fast realising our anticipations of his
pantomimic eminence, and the astounding somer-
saulting of Lebar, constitute them an incomparable
pair of sprites. The house was, as usual, fully and
fashionably attended.

GIBRALTAR.

There was a tremendous gale from the south-west
on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, during which several
vessels drove on shore, and others received damage.
The following is a list of the disasters, from the
Gibraltar Chronicle :

"The British brig Vigilatt was carried higher up on
the bead,. When driving ashore she had come i❑ con-
tact with the French brig-steamer L'Amazone, the bow-
sprit of which was carded away.
" The town fdlucho Fuente Santa also had her mialn-
mast carried away; the Sardinian packet-brig Corn-
ruercia lost her bowsprit; the British cutter Tangier
Packet part cf bcr bulwarks, bowsprit, &c.; the British
valachero Bashaw of Tangier, her gibboom; and a
Tuscan valachero, as also a Sardinian tartan, their
t)pma3ts.

" The Lady Rowley was driven ashore near Fort St.
Philip.
" '1 he Neapolitan ship Luigia Carolina lost her fore-
topmast, and the town schooner Cleanentina her bow-
sprit. It further appears that many vessels dragged
their anchors, and several parted chains. The Lady
Rowley lost two oft ash.
" It is expected that the Vigilant and Lady Rowley
will be got afloat now that the weather has moderated.
" The French brig L'Estele :parted from both her
anchors on the 16th, and came on shore close to the
jetty. It is expected that, after discharging part of her
cargo, she will be got off.
`• The Hercules is expected fcom M.4!ta, on her way
to England with invalids. She is to take a company of
Artillery from this garrison."
London, England, 1850-01-26

in doing so said he felt he was performing an agree-
able duty. After the eloquence they had heard to-
day in support of the exhibition, he felt he need say
nothing to urge the meeting to be liberal in their
subscriptions; but still he was bound to remind them
that whilst subscriptions would be raised in all parts of
the country the metropolis would be most benefited
by the exhibition.—(Hear, hear.) He was convinced,
therefore, that the citizens of London would liberally
support the exhibition, and he was quite sure the
corporation in its public capacity would do so like•
wise.—(Cheers.)
The resolution having been carried by acclamation,
The LORD MAYOR spoke a few words in acknow-
ledgment of the compliment, and the meeting broke up.

KENILWORTH CASTLE

As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For farther particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess pail the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
"paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for
he ever hoped for in return wa.s—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
Stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that tha course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
tears," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, snore properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of

The Cologne Gazette states that Lord COWLEY,
the English Minister at Frankfort, had invited the
Federal Commission to take measures for preventing
the rupture of the armistice in Schleswig-Holstein,
and that the Commission had replied that it had

interim.

The Cologne Gazette says that the powers of the
Provisional Central Commission of Frankfurt will
probably be prolonged for three months.

case of considerable public importance, which had
been argued before him on a former day. The facts

situate in South Lambeth, and between the South

a
public were enabled to pass through it, and go to, and
from the Nine Elms railway station without the
payment of toll. Thi-, since the omission has been
discovered, has been, a great saving to the public,
and a corresponding loss to the trustees of the
trust, who have the gates on their own hands, and
the latter have been most anxious to include it in
their commission. Oa the sth of last month the
surveyors to the parochial board of highway, by
order of that body, took it on themselves to stop all
thoroughfare through Bond-street
by placing posts and
ropes across it, and the consequence was that the public
were compelled to go along the turnpike road, and
to pay the toll. in this state things remained
until the 16th, when Mr. Lavington, who is agent to
Messrs. Davis, the extensive railway carriers in the o'.d
B tiley, directed one of his waggoners to force away
the barrier and pass through the street with his wag-
gon. The man did so, and for the wilful damage
Mr. Davis was summoned to this court. On lb.

that on the Bth it was notified to the Federal Council
that 21 Hungarian and Bavarian refugees had ex-
pressed their readiness to serve in the foreign legion
in Algeria, and that the other refugees had drawn up
a statement of their reasons for declining. The
Canton of Berne had complained that it had more
than its fair share of refugees, the number being
330, of whom 170 were receiving pecuniary relief.,

news of the capture of the fortress of Behar by the
Bosnian rebels. The loss of the fortress is ascribed

cording to the Agram Casette of the 6th, the pea-
sants had revolted at Zagorie, in Krapna, and that
troops had been dispatched to suppress them.
