PETITION'S.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Ponty-
pool, praying, for an extension of the jurisdiction of the
County Courts.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
Rutlandshire against free trade, and fur a restoration of
protection, also a petition with a similar prayer from
the guardians of the poor of Ennis.
Lord CLINTON presented a petition with a similar
prayer from Devonshire.

CASE OF MESSRS. GRAHAM AND ELLIOTT.
Lord BROUGHAM said he examined the case of Lieut.
Graham and Mr. Elliott fully, and although he agreed that
in general the judgments of courts-martial ought not t)
be interfered with, yet he thought the case of these
young officers was an exception. They had been most
ill-advised to plead guilty to a charge of desertion,
when they had been guilty of no desertion at
all, for they had givea themselves up immedi-
ateTy after they bad escaped from the tyranny of
Commander Pitman, who had been subsequently
convicted not only of tyranny but of falsification of ac-
counts. If these unfortunate young gentlemen had been
tried after Commander Pitman, they would never have
been convicted. He asked if there was any intention of
mitigating their sentence, so as to en:ble them to re-enter
the service. He had no personal aAluaintance with those
gentlemen. _ _

The Marquis of LANSI)OWNE wished to refer to
the First Lord of the Admiralty before giving
an
answer.

CLERGY DISCIPLINE BILL.

The Bishop of LONDON brought in a Bill to
amend Vie Clergy Discipline Bill. Bis object, was
to take away from the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council the right of judging appeals
from the Court of Arches in certain . cases. He
did not object to the apre'late juridicton
of tho Judicial Committee on matters of law or of fact,
but he did object to giving the Committee the appellate
jurisdiction on points of doctrine. He proposed to in-
stitute ti; new tribunal of appellate jurisdiction in cases
of heresy and false doctrine. Ho thought that in such
cases there should bean appeal to the Bishop, and from
him to the Archbishop, and that the decision of the
Archbishop should in-such cases be final.
The Archbishop of C NNTERBURY expressed his
concurrence in the sentiments of the Right Rev. Palate,
and he hoped the Bill would be carried into a law.
The Bishop of LONDON had purposely brought the
Bill in thus early because he was anxious to do so
before the decision of the Committee in a recent case
should have been giver.

Lord BROUGnAM assured the Right Rev. Prelate
that there would be no jealousy on the tof tLe
Judicial Committee with regard to the introduction of
this Bill, on tl'e contrary, they would be rejoiced at
being relieved from the responsibility of giving judg-
ment in these cases.

The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it was contrary
to custom to di .cuss the principle of a Bill on its first
introduction, and he deprecatNl any deviation from the
usual course on the present occa:ion.

GERMANY.

It has been officially announced to both Houses of
the Prussian Parliament, that the KING will take the
oath to the Constitution on the Gth of February ; great
preparations were making for rejoicings in Thrlin
on the occasion.

The frt (pent interviews which have taken place
between 313. DE PERSIGNY and the Prussian Ministers
have given occasion to the circulation of all sorts of
idle rumours in 13:rlin. It is said that a treaty offen-
sive and defensive has been entered into between the
PRESIDENT of the French Republic and the King of
PRUSSIA, by which the former, when he shall have
become Emperor, is to have secured to him the old
Imperial frontier of the Rhine, and Prussia is to
absorb into her dominions Hanover and certain por-
tions of Saxony. It is scarcely necessary to say, that
no well-informed person attaches any credit to these
rumours.

I❑ the second Saxon Chamber M. WIGAND
moved, that the 'Chamber do make the following de-
claration in reference to the Schleswig-Holstein ques-

t ton .--
" 1. Considering that the duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein are German provinces, and not to be separated
from Germany; 2, that the King of Prussia declared, in
1848, they should for ever remain unseparated;' 3,
that the sons of Germany had shed their blood for the
independence and freedom of the duchies; 4, considering
the imps ession the Germans must conceive that their
lives had bona played with; 5, that not only the Diet of
the Confederation before the days of March, 1848, but
the German people with its princes had interfered on
behalf of the rights of the duchies—the Chamber should
propose to the Ministry to interfere in the most ener-
getic manner , for the unity and independence of the
duchies, and to protast against every basis of a peace
that would divide them."
The motion was referred, by a majority of 15, to a
Committee.

The Deutsche Zeitung states that the President of
the Council in Munich (Herr VON PFORDTEN) when
referring lately to the law proposed by the Ministry
for restricting the right of association, made use
of the following words :—" We have proposed (?)
the prohibition concerning association, that we may
not see ourselves compelled to break laws that are in
force, in order to maintain the order of the state."
From this, WALLERSTEIN and his party infer that the
Ministers arrogate to themselves the right of break-
ing existing laws, when any commotion in the state
may threaten the overthrow, not of the state, but of
the Cabinet. The Chamber has now demanded an
unequivocal explanation from ProuDTEN.
An interpellation of WALLERSTEIN'S also remains
unanswered respecting the reason the Government has
for retaining the Bavarian army so long on the foot-
ing of war. He asks whether this has anything to
do with the opposition threatened by Austria and
Bavaria to the Erfurt Parliament.

SWITZERLAND.

The following note on the subject of the Rtfuve
question has been addressed by the Swiss Minister in
Paris to the Journal des Debuts :

" The Journal des Debat: yesterday published an ar-
ticle on the affairs of Switzerland, which, from its im-
portance, might merit several columns of observations;
it will, doubtless, accept in their stead some short and
simple reflections. According to that article Switzt,r-
land has become the refuge of all such men as have
been obliged to fly from the laws of their own coun-
try. It is forget'en France at this moment
n re-
fuges,s-pitality to a great number of Italian d

land; that Piedmont contains one hundred
many t.f whom have been expelledn from Switzer-
land;
within eight
Italian refugees than Switzerland; that there are French.
refugees in Belgium and in, . .
B - b
hours distanco of Paris;'..that 1 elm Py at and oic ot are
the only two French refugees of any consequence in
Switzrland; that they are, like their fellow refugees,
sent into the interior at more than 12 leagues from the
frontier, and their expulsion would imme :iately follow
any attempt to disturb the tranquillity of France. t The
writer l f the a: title in question has firgotten or is ig-
.norant that on the 16th of July the Federal Council
spontaneously ordered the expulsion of all the refugees
who had been eit'ser military or civil leaders, or who
had abused the asylum received in Switzerland. It was
in virtue of that decree that M.M. :::truve, Mieroslawiky
rtaveaux, Siegel, \Vedic+, Bleaker, Brentano, Doll,
Metternich, and several others vi,%,le expelled, and the

KILRUSH UNION.
. _

Mr. MONSELL wished to ask his Right Honourable
Friend the Secretes), for Ireland whether it was his in-
tention to make any statement on the psrt of the Go-
vernment relative to the course that had been pursued
in the Kilrush Union? He thought it would be most
desirable that some statement should be made on the
subject, in order that the matter might come formally
before the House.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE admitted the unfortunate
condition of the Kilrush Union, but he was not pre-
pared at that moment, on the f art of the Government, to
make any statement to the House.
TUE LATE SECRETARY OF THE ECCLESIAS-
London, England, 1850-02-06

with the view of showing that she had gone by
variety of names, and of extracting from her an ad-
mission that her house, in Jame:-street, was a house of
accommodation for ladies of easy virtue, but under the
direction of the Learned Judge, she declined to answer
the latter question, ai it was calculated to criminate
herself. She said she had been once married, her hus-
bqnd was dead, and having fallen into disgrace after his
dea9), she changed her name to Ellis. She had never
ps-sad as Mrs. Watty or Mrs. Mary Smith, but some
I c f her friends and neighbours were in the habit of
calling her Watty Ellis, Watty being considetel an
abreviation for Caroline., which was her real Christian
name.

Mary Taylor, who described herself as a housemaid
at 15, James-street, was called to corroborate the evi-
dence of the prosecutrix. On her cross-examina►ion she
said that her wages as housemaid were 10s. a week, and
board and lodgings.—(This created no small merriment
in the court.) She never had served in that situation
before, but had formerly been a dressmaker at Gravesend;
her sister-in-law had introduced her to this establish-
ment, with a perfect knowledge of the nature of it.
Seffrin Elkins, who described himself as a painter and
picture-cleaner, on being asked if he was at Mrs Ellis's
on the day in question, replied, " I were. I wero look-
ing at two paintings by Herring, and one by Van
Winkurn, in company with Mrs. Ellis, when the pri-
soner came in and asked for Mrs. Ellis. I was put out
of the way into the neat room, where I heard Humfreys
say—' If you don't give me 51. I will swear that you are
Mary Smith.' I live at 34, Pleasant-place, Valworth."
John Williamr, a policeman, who was passing by the
house at the time was called in by Humphreys, who told
him that he had a " wild duck" for him to take. Ile
was tie policeman who had carried the prosecutrix to
Marlborough-street.
Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defence,
but did not call any witnesses.
The case bad not closed when our report left the
court.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
The eases tried here were of little importance, and
presented no feature of interest.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY AT AN HOTEL.—Richard Jones, a servant
out of place, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged
with stealing six silver spoons, six silver forks, and a
carving knife and fork, the property of Mr. Wm. Esdon,
hotel keeper, 58, Haymarket.
The prosecutor stated, that yesterday afternoon the
prisoner entered his coffee room, and, in a few minutes
after be %eat out again, without stating the object of
his visit. Witness, suspecting the prisoner, followed
him, and as he was crossing, the street a carving. knife
and fork dropped from his pocket. Prosecutor then mo-
tioned to a constable, who tame and took charge of the
prisoner; and en arriving at the station he was searched,
and the six spoons and forks were found upon him, which
he (prosecutor) identified as his property.
Barber, 59 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody
and finding the property upon him.
The prisoner, who did not attempt to deny the charge,
was committed for trial.

TICAL COMMISSION.

Mr. HORSMAN, seeing the~ Right llon. Baronet
the Secretary of State for the Homo Department in his
place, wished to know whether it wa3 true that the late
secretary of the Ecclesiastical Commission had executed
a deed t f assignment before he absconded, arid, whether
if he did, the Government had any objection to its being
laid on the table of the floosie?
Sir GEORGE GREY said, that when the decal-
cations of the late secretary were ascertained his Noble
Friend at the head of the Government had placed the
Solicitor of the Treasury in communication with the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners, in order to preserve what
he could. What further steps had been talon he could
not say, but ho would make inquiry into the subject.
Mr. HORSMAN said, that as the Right Hon. Baronet
was not in possession of the whole facts, he would repeat
the question to-morrow.

lower to purchase. We had a very dull inquiry for

There is not so much of chance in them as we are apt to

a thing as chance (many people will tell you that they
never I-. ad a chance in their lives), and whether the news-
papers are not hasty iu setting apart a column for Ac-
cidents and Offences.' We know there are plenty of
ofrenceF,' but cannot be quite so sure about the acci-

the bursting of steam-boilers, aro inevitable results of an

THE ART JOURNAL.

. Mr. Eastlake's lovely picture of "A Greek Girl,"
familiar to every visitor of the Vernon Collection,
forms the subject of the principal illustration ' •
and the felicitous manner in which it has been
copied does infinite credit to the skill and ability of
Mr. H. Graves, the engraver. "Grief," from the
bas-relief of J. 11. Foley, the distinguished sculptor
of Ino and Bacchus, has been transcribed for the
next plate by the graver of Mr. T. W. Knight. In
the sketch taken by Mr. Knight from the orignal,
the child's foot seems a deformity, and its head appears
in dreadful disproportion. The second transcript
from the Vernon Gallery in the Art Journal for
August is that of Stanfield's " Lake of Como," by
Mr. J. Cousen. The engraving is admirably careful
in its exactitude. Among the literary contributions
to this periodical the most noticeable in the present
instalment is the article on " The Exhibition
of 1851—its Errors and Dangers." Although we
are far from coinciding in the whole argument of the
writer, we conceive the paper to be well worthy of AA

THE SUN, LONDON,

GERMANY.

Letters from Berlin of the ad state that the Prus-
sian Government has received a dispatch from the
Cabinet of Vienna, announcing that Austria will
oppose by force of arms the advance of the Baden
troops beyond Mayence. There have been several
Cabinet Councils held, and war between Prussia and
Austria seems imminent. Austria has made repre-
sentations on the subject of the entry of the Baden
troops into Prussia to France and Russia.
Prussia has refused permission to the French
Legitimatists to hold their Congress on any portion
of the Prussian torritory. They had originally
fixed upon Aix-la-Chapelle as the new Coblentz,
where they were to meet for the purpose of conspiring
against their native land.
The Bavarian Government has determined to as-
semble a corps darrnie at Aschaii-enbourg, to be
ready to act in aid of Austria against Prussia.
The Gazette of Silesia announces that M. AN-
DAASTZ, the aide-de-camp of EAYNA u, has ab-
sconded, taking with him all HAYNAU'S papers, as
well as his correspondence with the Cabinet. It is
said that he has taken the direction of Turkey.

DENMARK AND TH'E DUCHIES

General Vol IffmnisErr, the Comrnander-in-Chief
of the Holstein army, has published the following
proclamation :
The extensive field-works before Rendr,burg are
now so far advanced, that in the most im-
portant points they may be regarded as corn-
plate. I thank the army for the industry it has
exhibited in constructing these works, in addition
to the usual and necessary military exercises. Every
corps has displayed the greatest zeal, but I must
especially recognize the services of the Engineers and
Pioneer:. The army will feel how essential it is to
complete what is yet to be done; it will still r( quire the
labour of some days. If the cremy only by great exer-
tions and the heaviest loss so far succeeded that we sus-
Fended the conflict in the open field, he will not dare to
seek us out behind our entrenchments.
" The General in Command,
" VON \V ILLISEN."

To meet the addition of officer; from the several
German states to the ranks of the Holsteiners,
the Danish Minister of War has published a notice
that such officers and men will not be treated,
if taken in action, as prisoners of war. He
states that, as the so•called Schleswig-Holstein
army is in the field in open insurrection against
its lawful Sovereign, all persons serving in its ranks,
not being natives of the Duchies, in any grade or
capacity, are required and warned to quit as the
service " not under the protection of the law of na-
tions," and, consequently, if they are taken as above
noticed, they will not be entitled to the usual treat-
ment of prisoners from a foreign force made in the
field.
