FOREIGN (5• COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The German Journal of Frankfort states, that the house
of Rothschild has given 100,000 f. for the foundation of an
hospital at Jerusalem, and is building at its own expense a
synagogue at Franfort.

Slavery has virtually ceased in Ceylon ; in the following
northen districts, Jaffna, Nlalagam, the Islands, Temoratchy,
and Putchelepaly, where the number of Slaves was recently
set down at 30,000, not a single slave has been registered.
Mairemer Atr.—The Augsburg Gazette of the 12th
instant states, that the intellectual faculties of the Pasha of
Egypt appear to diminish daily, and that in consequtnce he
has yielded to his former violence of character, and as a proof
mentions, that an officer who dared to interfere for some un-
fortunate fellahs, was ordered to be beaten to death.
DECISION IN THE SOMER.'S MUTINY CASE.—(From the
New York Herald)—We have the pleasure of announcing
the real and true decision of the court-martial and of
the Government in the famous case of Alexander Slidell
M'Kenzie, formerly the commander of the United States brig
Somers. By this statement, it appears that in spite of all
the efforts of an oligarchy here to acquit Captain M'Kenzie,
and to trample on the rights, lives, and liberties of American
mariners, the verdict of the court-martial stood—five for
not proven, and seven for proven. In the Cabinet Council
(Secretary Spencer absent), secretary Upshur alone was
in is favour. Now, in a civil court, such a result would
leave room for a new trial. In the present case Captain
M'Kenzie escapes with the akin of his teeth from the highest
penalty of the law ; but we feel authorised to announce,
either that a new trial may be ordered, or that he will never
be called to the public service, and may be dismissed from
the navy on the result of the prosecution commenced against
him by Wilson, of the 13 mile long knife !
THE PRESS IN DENMARK—TORTURING AN EDITOR.—
FRANKFORT, 1IA.1" 9.—A transaction, scarcely credible, hal
taken place ttt Copenhagen. The ancient Danish laws
criminal processes authorize:the judge, when
there are strong presumptions against the accused, to inflict
different kinds of torture to produce confession. Two modes
of torture are still retained in the laws :-1. Lashes on the
floatrerlyegulatiog
naked back with a scourge, having either knots or pieces of
lead at its ends. 2. Solitary imprisonment in a dark dun-
geon for three days, and bread and water. On every fourth
day the accused is placed in a cell into which the light is ad-
mitted, and then he receives the food commonly allowed to
prisoners. Hitherto, no Danish examining judge had put in
practice these laws of constraint against journalists, or for
any offences of the press. This unheard-of proceeding has
been reserved for the present time. Herr Hansen, editor of
the daily paper called Faedrenelander, which is published in
Copenhagen, inserted in August last an artieie err the-debt of
the country. Two censors had allowed this article to pass,
and it Wail quite forgotten by the publio. However, at the
beginning of last month, the Danish chancery ordered a
prosecution ' • Hansen was brought before Judge Gudenroth,
who ordered him to explain the meaning of the article. The
editor replied that he did not recollect the circumstances
which induced him to write it, nor the ideas which were
then passing in his mind. The judge insisted upon explana-
tions, and as he did not obtain them, he ordered the unfor-
tunate journalist to the dungeon and bread and water.
After being forty-eight hours in prison, he was attacked by
violent cholic and vomiting. He then wrote to the judge
that be would give any explanations that might be required
of him, but on the condition that his protest against the pro-
ceedings should be entered upon the minutes of his examina-
tion. This was agreed to, and after an examination, which
turned upon matters quite insignificant, be was set at liberty.
The unfortunate man has addressed a remonstrance to the
king, which has been referred to a council of state.

STRIKE IDI THE POTTERIES.—The Potteries are again the
scene of a strike. The colliers in the employ of Mr. Spar-
row, of Longton, who, it will be recollected, lad the way in
the turn-out last summer., have again left their work, in con-
sequence of a reduction in their wages of 3d. a day. At
their first meeting, the men assembled expressed their deter-
mination to maintain the public peace, and, as far as in them
lay, prevent or suppress any violence being committed by the
discontented. A second meeting was characterized by a
different feeling ; many of those assembled exhibiting a dis-
position to carry their end by any means, however violent.
The district, however, is well guarded by troops and police,
and the authorities are on the alert.
THE OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTEII.—We gave in our last
the full particulars of an audacious outrage committed on a
brickfield near Manchester, by a great number of turn-out
brickmakers. Nineteen prisoners were brought up before
the magistrates as having been concerned in the cccornission
of this offence, and after the depositions of the witnesses had
been taken, seven of the prisoners were ordered to be dis-
charged, and the remainder were committed to take their
trial at the next Liverpool assizes. The most serious charge
against the prisoners is under the statute of the Ist Victoria,
cap. 86. sec. 2, which enacts, " That whosoever shall bur-
glariously break and enter into any dwelling-house, and shall

facture bricks. for sale, but only for their own use; and they
have in all, in different parts of the neighbourhood, about 30
acres of brick-crofts,. and are manufacturing not fewer than
twenty millions of bricks during the present season • and the
