GERMANY.

The German Journal of Frankfort of the 19th as-
serts that the Hassenpflug Ministry, in Electoral
Hesse, will retire as soon as another Ministry shall be
formed, and it declares that this resignation has been
insisted on by Austria, in compliance with the request
of Bavaria and Wurtemberg as the condition of its
support of the Elector. The same journal says that
Austria has recommended the Elector to adopt conci-
liatory measures.
It is stated in, a letter from Munster, of the 17th,
thst part of the troops of the garrison of that place
had left, to take up cantons in the environs of Pader-
born.

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 17th
instant, says :
" The sitting of the Provisional College of Princes
yest. rday was but of short duration. A correspondence
between the Cibinets of Vienna and Berlin relativs to
the Customs' Union was read. Various communications
were also made on the subject of the approbation given
by several governments of the union to the policy pur-
sued by Prussia in the affair of Electoral Ilesae. The
delib:.ration on the affair of the Union in general re-
mains sulpended until the declarations of the govern-
ment; on the propositions made by the Cabinet of Berlin
have been received. The next sitting is fixed for Tues-
day next."
The following letter, of the 12th, from Innsbruck,
has appeared in the Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna :
" The author of that so often-mentioned confiscated
pamphle►, The Confessions of a Soldier; has, by the
Emperor's order, been dismissed from his suite. I know
that a similar report, which proved incorrect, was in cir-
culation in Vienna before the Emperor left. Now, how-
ever, you may consider the statement as certain; indeed,
I can vouch for its correctness. The position of the
Minister of the Interior would, without this satisfaction,
have been untenable. This fact, and the unanimous in-
dignation with which Mr. de Babarczy's pamphlet was
received by tha public press, having been represented to
his Majesty by Prince Schwarzenberg, no great difficulty
was made about the matter, the more particularly as it
was only ' by chance' that Mr. de Babarczy had accom-
panied his Majesty."

SOUTHWARK.

William Bear, a well•dressed young man, who was
evidently suffering from his overnight's debauch, was
brought up charged with being intoxicated and disturb-
ing the audience at the Surrey Theatre.
The constable who attends the above theatre stated
that on the preceding night, during the perfo7mance, the
defendant stationed himself in the front row of the gal-
lery, and taking advantage of the momentary absence of
the players from the stage between the acts, commenced
an harangue against the Popish aggression, and at the
conclusion called upon the audience to join him in " God
save the Queen." No sooner had he announced the
National Anthem than those by whom be Was sur-
rounded joined in the chorus, and he became very ex-
cited, swaying his body backwards and forwards, to the
imminent risk of pitching headlong from an elevated po-
sition into the pit. Finding the defendant to be very
much intoxicated, and evincing a determination to re-
peat the annoyance, he with assistance got him out of
the theatre, and for safety, as he had some property
about him, gave him into custody.
In reply to Mr. A'I3ECEETT, the defendant said that
be regretted what had taken place in the theatre, owing
to his being under the influence of liquor, and that he
had no recollection of having addressed the audience on
the subject of Pepery. He added that he should take
care and not let it occur again.
The MAGISTRATE said the defendant acted very
foolishly in disturbing the audience in the manner de-
scribed; and that he should adjuige him to pay ss. for
being drunk, besides entering into his recognizances to
keep the peace.

• A Board of Admiralty, composed of the Firs,
Lord, Rear-Admiral Dundas, Captain Houston
Stewart, and Mr. Parker, arrived at the Royal Marine
Barracks, at Woolwich, soon after eleven A.M., yes-
terday, and having inspected the troops, the barracks,
and Infirmary, proceeded to the Dockyard, where
they partook of luncheon with Commodore Eden,
and then inspected the smith shop, boat-house, rig-
ging-house, and mast-house; after which their Lord-
ships went on board of the Locust steam-vessel,
Lieut. Commander Curtis, in the basin, where Mr.
Hale exhibited to their Lordships the method for
discharging rockets made on his plan from a ship's
side. After this their Lordships visited the appren-
tices' school, when the First Lord pointed out to the
pupils, in a very feeling manner, the great advantage
they must derive from the education bestowed upon
t hem by the public, and urged them to show by their
conduct that they were grateful. Their Lordships
then inspected the works in progress at the factory,

Journal

of
Design,
and
London Journal and, Repertory of Inventions more
than usually interesting. These periodicals, more
especially the Journal of Design, are admirably
qualified to elevate the popular taste. We are glad
to find both this and the Patent Journal speaking in
cordial though criticising terms, of the French expo-
sition in London.—Autsworth s Magazine is rendered
chiefly attractive by the continuation of " Guy
Fawkes."— The Metropolitan is chiefly filled with
light fictitious tales and some graceful verses.—The
Farmers' Magazine contains the republication of the
excellent Chronicle articles on "aisbour and the Poor."

It this month contains a portrait and a memoir of the
I.te Mr. Thomas Bates.—Sharpc's Magazine is ch-
lightrul as usual. It opens with an excellent
article on Goldsmith. Our favourite " Diary
of Mrs. Milton" is continued, and as usual
contains some exquisitely simple natural
touches.—The Church of England Magazine
presents its customary variety of religious and in-
structive reading.—The Land we Live In exhibits to
us Hull and the Humber, York and Beverley. The
pictorial contents are most beautiful. This truly
national work has now reached its third volume.—
Mr. Knight's National Library of Select Literature
contains the sixth part of the Bible History.—Frank
Farleigh, the adventurous and delightful Frank
Farleigh, illustrated by Cruikshank, still con-
tinues in course of monthly re-publication.—
The People's Jourxal is, as usual, replete with a
variety of interesting tales and essays on popular
topics ; the illustrations are much improved.—The
Belle Assanblee is embellished with a charming por-
trait of Amy Itobsart.—Le Follet maintains its grace-

whose protection he may be, shall, whilst resident
in the Ottoman Empire, be guilty of any act hos-
tile to the Government of the Emperor NICHOLAS,
he shall, at the demand of the Russian Envoy,
be expelled from the SULTAN'S dominions.
KOSSUTH and the Hungarian refugees are to be con-
fined in a fortified town in the interior. They are
not to be close prisoners, but their place of residence
will he fixed, and they will be under the constant
surveillance of the Turkish authorities. The Am-
bassadors of France and England have approved of
the terms of the settlement, with, however, certain
restrictions as regards the expulsion of persons who
may be under the protection of either of their re-
spective Governments. When a charge of conspiring
against the Russian Government shall be brought
against a person provided with an English or French
passport, a trial will take place in the presence of the
Consul or other agent of the country under whose
protection the accused may be, and after inquiry only,
will sentence be pronounced.
Notwithstanding the apparent settlement of :the
question, diplomatic relations have not yet been re-
established with the Porte by the Russian and Aus-
trian Ministers ; we are therefore rejoiced to hear that
the return of the French fleet to Toulon has been
countermanded. These letters announce that the
British fleet, under the command of Sir WILLIAM
PARK/IN, left the anchorage at Basika Bay on the 16th
instant for the Masconissi Islands, at the south-wes-
ternmost entrance of the Gulf of Adrymittee, opposite
the northern side of the island of Mytilene. The
ships will anchor between the islands of Eleos and

PRUSSIA.
The• Rolner Zeitung publishes the following pro-
clams tion, which the Prince of PRUSSIA has addressed
to the troops in the Rhenish provinces:—
" The present season induces me to express to the
troops under my command the wish that the year 1850
may be a happy and glorious ear for them. W►th
part of those troops I have shared the happiness and the
glory. of a victorious combat, and the troops which
remained at home have equally proved their
devotion and fidelity to their King and country. So,
indeed, did the soldiers of the Landwehr, especially
those corps which have been called upon to supply
the place of the 20,000 men now stationed in the Grand
Duchy of Baden. May all those troops be mindful of
their oath! May they be faithful to the spirit of order
and obedience which befits the Prussian soldier, and may
they hold themselves prepared again to engage in the
conflict! Our antagonists of the summer of 1849 will
not keep quiet, their secret intrigues are more dangerous
than their ranks in battle. We ought to be on our
guard; let us be watchful at all times, and let us be con-
firmed in all soldier-like virtue, that we may be ready
for the King, in case the King should again call on us to
fight, and to conquer in his and the battles. God bless
the Kingl

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BAIVKRUPTCY, Jan. 4.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RE JOHN COLSON.

The bankrupt was a licensed victualler at Upper
Holloway.
His llosoun gave judgment on the certificate. He
said the bankrupt's debts were 748/. ; his liabilities a
further sum of 2,150/. His assets were, good debts,
29/. It appeared that the only property by means of
which he had incurred debts and liabilities to so large an
amount bad been swept away by a member of his own
family—his eldest daughter—in payment of rent that
had been allowed to run for a period of five years.
There was something more than usually monstrous
in a bankrupt thus permitting a member of his own
family, by a kind of hocus-pocus, to get possession of
the whole of his property, leaving his other creditors
without a farthing. The certificate would be
suspended twelve months, and protection withheld,
unless the bankrupt should have been in prison three
months.

AU STRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 29th ult. contained the
State budget for the third quarter of the year 1349.
It is, however, incomplete, as the returns from Tran-
sylvania, Croatia, Sclavonia, the Voivodina, and the
Temesch Banat have not yet been sent in. The
receipts were 35,126,536 florins, and the ex-
penses 76,899,631 florins, thus leaving a deficit of
41,773,095 florins. The outlay is divided as fol-
lows :—lnterest of National Debt, 17,220,631
florins; Imperial household, 963,764 florins ; Cabinet
Council (Minister-Rath), 22,787 florins ; Foreign
Affairs, 438,356 florins; Home Department,
3,975,470 florins; War, 45,357,943 florins ; Fi-
nances, 3,858,964 florins ' • Justice, 1,259,301 florins ;
Public Education and Worship, 480,116 florins ;
Commerce and Public Works, 5,832,820 florins ;
Agriculture and Mining, 48,008 florins; Control-
office, 26,185 florins. In addition to the deficit above-
mentioned 90,727 florins were expended, though for
what purpose is not specified, leaving a total of
44,863,822 florins. The Wiener Zeitung of the 30th,
contains the budget for the nine months from No-
vember 1, 1848, to the last of July, 1849, during
which period there was a deficit of 90,746,684 florins.
The war expenses during those nine months amounted
to the enormous sum of 105,559,310 florins.
The Wanderer states that the promulgation of the
Constitution will be delayed for several months.
The National Gazette of Dresden, says that a great
number of German subjects of other states bays been
recently expelled from the Austrian territory, albeit
possessed of property there, solely on the ground that
they are Protestants, it being the desire of the Aus-
trian Ministers to extirpate Protestanism from the
empire.

belonging to a man named Brown, formerly a waiter at the
Globe Hotel, Exmouth, the one four and the other a few
years older, were sent by the mother, who keeps a mangle,
after a basket of clothes, and were met on the way by some
boys, one of whom had on a most hideous looking mast. The
boy, seeing the children frightened, ran after them, repeating
BORIC gibberish, which frightened them more, and having
followed them until they turned the corner of the street,
transferred the mask to another boy, who managed again to
come in contact with the poor children who returned home
instantly, when their parents, seeing them so pale and trem-
bling very much, inquired what the matter was, which they
explained as well as they could. The shock, however, was
so great that they never recovered it; their health declined
daily. The one died three weeks after, and the other died
on Wednesday last. Each of them in his illness often exclaim.
ing," He is coming," " I see him," " There he is," with
other like expressions. The father and mother have been
most unfortunate, having had one son, who was a great as-
sistance to them, drowned, and themselves so afflicted as lat-
terly to be almost dependent on the parish for support.—

commend all its wants to your favourable consideration,
with a full confidence that you will meet them not only
with justice but with liberality. It should be borne in
mind that in this city, laid out by Washington, and
consecrated by his name, is located the capitel of our
nation, the emblem of our Union, and the symbol of
our greatness. Here also are situated all the public
buildings necessary for the use of the Government, and
all these are exempt from taxation. It should be the
pride of Americans to render this place attractive to the
people of the whole Republic, and convenient and safe
for the transaction of the public business and the pre-
servation of the public records. The Government
should, therefore, bear a liberal proportion of the bur-
dens of all necessary and useful improvements. And as
nothing could contribute: more to the health, comfort,
and safety cf the city, and the security of the public
buildings and records than an abundant supply of pare
water, I sespectfully recommend that you make such
provisions for obtaining the same as in your wisdom
you may deem proper.

DECEMBER 18, lB5O.

To effect this all duties should be specific, wherever the
nature of the article is such as to admit of it. Ad va-
lcron duties fluctuate with the price, and offer strews
temptations to fraud and perjury. Specific duties, on
tho contrary, are equal and uniform in all ports, and et
all times, and offer a string inducement to 11w importer
to bring the best article, as he pays no more duty upon
that than upon one ce infer or quality. I therefore
strongly recommend a modification of the present tariff,
which has prostrated some of our most important and
necessary manufactures, and that specific duties be im-
posed sufficient to raise the requisite revenue, Leaking
such discrimination in fay, ur of the indusaial pursuits
of our own country as to encourage home production
without excluding foreign competition. It is also im-
portant that an unfortunate provision in the present
tariff, which imposes a much higher duty upon the raw
material that enters into our manufactures than upon the
manufactuled article, should be remedied.
The papers accompanying the report of the Secretary
of the Treasury will disclose frauds attempted upon the
revenue,in variety and amount so great, as to justify the
conclusion that it is impossible, under any system of ad
vatoico duties levied upon the foreign cost or value of
the article, to secure an honest observance and an ef-
fectual administration of the laws. The fraudulent de-
vices to evade the law, which have been detected by the
vigilance of the appraisers, leave no roem to doubt that
similar impositions, not discovered, to a large amount,
have been successfully practised since the enactment of
the law now in force. This state of things has already
had a prejudicial influence upon those engaged in foreign
commerce. It has a tendency to drive the honest trader
from the business of importing, and to throw that im-
portant branch of employment into the hands of unscru-
pulous and dishonest men, who are alike regardless of
law and the obligations of an oath. By these means
the plain intentions of Congres, as expressed in the law,
are daily defeated. Every motive of policy and duty,
therefore, impel me to ask the earnest attention cf Con-
gress to this subject. If Congress should deem it un-
wise to attempt any important changes in the system of
levying duties at this season, it will become indispensa-
ble to the protection of the revenue that such remedies,
as in the judgment of Congress may mitigate the evils
complained of, should be at once applied.
As before stated, specific duties would, in my opi-
nion, afford the most perfect remedy for this evil; but
if you should not concur in this view, then, as a partial
remedy, I beg leave respectfully to recommend that, in-
stead of taking the invoice of the article abroad as a
means of determining its value here, the correctness of
which invoice it is in many cases impossible to verify,
the law be so changed as to require a home valuation,
or appraisal, to be regulated in such manner as to give,
as far as practicable, uniformity in the several ports.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 17.—At this day's market there
was a moderately good attendance of the town and
country trade, who, however, showed no desire to make
purchases, and the business done in wheat and flour was
quite trifling, at a reduction of 2d per 701bs. on the
former, and is per sack and 6d per barrel on the latter
article. Oats and oatmeal were held at late rates, which
checked buyers. Barley was in moderate request, at Id
per 60lbs advance; but beans and peas were neglected,
and without change. Indian corn was in better demand,
and fine yellow was generally held at 31s 6d per quarter.

A more interesting Message has never been sub-
mitted to the Americas Congress by the United
States' PRESIDENT than the one published elsewhere in
our impression of the evening. More important do.
cuments of the like character have, doubtless, been
issued before now, but none, we are bold to say,
more peculiarly attractive. Besides being addressed
to a newly-elected Legislature, the official manifesto
in question possesses another equally striking feature,
in the circumstance that it may be considered as the
first decided intimation of the policy about to be ad-
venture& upon by the newly appointed chief magis-
trt!te of the great Transatlanetic Democracy. It:is true,
that immediately on his elevation to the rank of Presi-

to cover with sawdust; in another, " an open sewer

live there cannot suffer the door to remain open, and
frequently the head of the family is seized with vo-

DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a cat se so prevalent as that of worms in the human body.
It is proved by the bills of mortality that oae-half of the children
born are cut off before attaining their seventh year. The source of
this fearful mortality i 3 found to exist in that foul state of the stomach

ASCARIDES VERMICULARIS, commonly called Maw or
Thread Worm, is about half-an-inch in length, and the thickness
of a thread. They infest every part of the alimentary canal, but
principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occasioning pain.
Their increase is most rapid; and the number existing in one
individual is often incredible, and this in persons of all ages.
TRICURIS VULGARIS, or long Thread Worm, is about two
inches in length, and tapers down from the head to the tail ; they
are not so common as the former. These also infest the whole ali-
mentary canal, and are equally tormenting.
TERES LUMBRICOIDES, or long round Worms, are generally
from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a goose-quill.
These exist in the regions of the stomach, causing sickness, bile, fla-
tulence, with headache.
TANTA OSCULIS MARGINALIBUS, or Tape Worm. The dis-
tinguishing character of this species consists in the oscula, or mouths,
being situated upon the margin of each joint, which is flat. They
vary is breadth, and also in length from 6 to 170 yards, and the
joints decrease in all cases as they approach the head. Extraordi-
nary specimens of the tribe have been exhibited at the Museum of
the late Dr. Gardner, to the astonishment of thousands who have
witnessed them.
