OUR ITALIAl" POLlCr.-While firmly mainMunn g our protest against any intervention by this counn-y in aHiancc wisli France and Russia, for the purpose 'of expelling Austria, by force of arms ff-om her dis- astrous dominion over the Lombardo-Venetian pro. vinces, It shall not be our fault if the meaning of our protest is misutideratjud. It is not b.-ca'ise w& are "behind InLatc" for the baneful rule of Austria or slack in sympathy fbr the rising hopes ofJtaly, that we have m.de, and that we adhere to !his pro- test. Our principal objection to such Intervention rests on a very simple ground. We have no con- fidence in the ulterior designs of the two powers with whom In such an enterprise we should be called on to act in concert. Russia and France are not the allies with whom England can safely net in a war of emancipation, nor can any sincere friend to Euro- pean freedom or English honour regard with com- placency our entanglement in a struggle whose ob- jects we cannot but suspect, and wnose Issues we shuuld be powerless to control. We repeat it— in such a contest as this the true attitude for Eng- land !s one of alert and vigilant neutrality. If the three great despotisms of the continent are really verging towards a hostile collision in the old battle neld of Northern Italy, our part Is to He by and ? look on. Of one thing we are very certain. The condition of Italy cannot be altered for the worse. If the only result of the struggle be a e iange of masters she will have gained something, chough that something is not an object which It comports with the honour or the interests of this country to waste blood or treasure In about. Let us bide our time. We have work to do at home work far more Important and profitable than armed participation in a costly and arduous contest, with despotic allies, a suspected object, and possibly worthless result. But while thus reitera- ting in the strongest terms our protest against any English intervention in Italy which would be ham- pered by such conditions as these, we must be care- ful not to play into the hands ot Austria, by either underrating the danger and atrocity of her ruthless rule, or by representing the hope of Italian libera- tion as a chimera and a dream. The Austrian gov- ernment of the Lombardo- VenetaIn provinces is not only in itself a detestable oppression, but, in its con- sequences, a standing menace to the peaca nf It is a public nuisance, a political danger which the high police of nations, as keepers of the world's peace, are concerned to put down. No member of the European states-system—least of all England, can object to seeing thi nuisance abated and tbia danger suppressed, by the most speedy and eSectual process of extinction. Let France and Russia by all means put forth their united force in working the battering ram by which this stronghold of oppression shall be levelled to the earth. We may wonder at seeing them engaged at such work—we may well doubt their motives for undertaking It—but as long as they confine their energies to this process of ne- cessary destruction we have nothing to do but to look on with the best wishes for their success.-Daily N 61D8. Is THERE AfY DANGER ?—Can anybody really dream that Rome is the place to endanger the faith of a Protestant prince ? As a broad fact, admit- ting only of ridiculous exceptions, we believe we may say that there are no conversions at Rome. The whole thing, then is one huge mass of rigid antlqua- nanlsm. At every step it proclaims Its own obso- leteness, as much as the room of antiquities In a museum. Who will be converted, or who can be much impressed, by seeing an exceedingly corpu- lent old gentleman, gorgeously apparelled, with a blazing tiara, chaired down the nave of St Peter's, in imitation of the old emperors so chaired by their veterans on the neld of battle? Who would be converted by seeing In the Sistlne Chapel a succes- sion of ceremonies which even the profbundest Ro- man ritualists confess are only done by book, as no account can be given of them? Who Is likely to abandon an immense neld of duty to kneel before a Bambino exhibited to a prostrate multitude from the ancient portals of Jupiter Feretorlus? Grant that we may know we stand on the very spot where St. Paul was beheaded; grant that the Eng- lish now promenade where Christian martyrs were once deavoured by wild beasts, or set on fire to Il- luminate spectacles, whatever is there now on the spot to draw the mind away from living scenes and providential calls ? The Pope, his cardinals, and that immense mass of clergy which it Is the policy of the Roman See to collect on every pretence at Rome, are very ordinary people. They are the aristocracy of Rome, and very like other aristo- cracies, with a clerical variation. No doubt, they are deeply attached to their city, and make most praiseworthy sacrifices to perform the very onerous duties of that immense Æùileship, which is merely that which survives of the Imperial omce. But there ends their glory and their fascination. Rome Itseli they cannot bring here, nor can they Import the f&Ith without it; and when the Prince of Wales has well seen Rome he will be quite content to leave it behind—T/<e THE EUROPEAN PosrnoN.—Both the English and continental journals have certainly made the most of the Emperor Napoleon's "iew words" to M. de Hubner: on theinew Year's Day but, happily, the most that can be made of them is not much. That there is a coolness between France and Aus- tria is Indisputable; but, as in private life so in states, ieeling does not always imply nghting. For Instance, we have given the cold shoulder to the Two Sicilies, but we have not yet sent a fleet to bombard the city of Naples. Nor have we any such Intention. France may be, and doubtless Is ajmoyed at Austria's predominance in Italy, bnt that is no reason for setting Europe In a blaze. It may be a matter for diplomacy, but not for arms. No one knows better than Napoleon the advantages of peace. Should war arise in any quarter, the army of France would doubtless maintain Its bril- liant reputation but maintaining the reputation of the army Is not necessarily maintaining the stability of the empire. And it is to this latter that Napoleon, if he would be a wise ruler, must devote his atten- tion. The stability of the empire must depend mainly upon Its capability of maintaining the na- tional prosperity of the people and this again upon the development of trade, the increase of facilities of Intercourse, and the encouragement of commerce with foreign states. France has as much to lose as any nation in Europe by a great war, and nothing to gain by a small one. A war with Austria on the question of Italy must of necessity be a great one—one that would touch France to her heart's core, and put her resources to the utmost trial. That, once in the war, France would behave gal- lantly, is certain but no sane Frenchman would wish to see war at all. Peace ought to be the policy of France—not because she cannot fight, for she can, but because she can do better. Napo- leon knows this well, and, whatever may have been hts motive In so wording his speech to M. Hubner, or whether .he had any particular motive at all, it certainly Is the slenderest peg on which political quidnunc ever hung a prophecy of hostilities. The speech will not bear what is predicated of it, at least as an indication of the Press.

STATE (JHDRCHISM AT THE ANTIPODES.—A short time ago the Bishop of Adelaide received a requisi- tion signed by the govemor-in-Chief, the Minister of State, and other muuential inhabitants, praying that the Rev. Thomas Binney, the well-known dis- senting minister, of London, who is now on a visit to Australia., might be allowed to preach from the pulpita of the churches of his diocese. The bishop de- clined to depart from the "traditionary role," saying -Icilad I ielt sure that no statute law would have been violated I should not have transgressed the 'custom' of our church without first consult-ing tho metropolitan and other bishops of the province of Australasia, as well as the Archbishop of Canter- bury. Consequently, I think that I ought not to have been invited by those high in authority in this colony to take a step on my own responsibility which, though possibly not an actual, would have been at least, a virtual transgression of the law of our church." Having said this, the Bishop urges the consideration of terms on which at some iuture time Ins inability to invite a dissenter to preach might:'possibly be removed. The "indispensable conditions" are "the acceptance in common by the evangelical churches of the orthodox creed; the use in common of a settled liturgy, though not the exclusion of free prayer, as provided for In the Di- rectory of the Assembly of Divines at Westminster; and an episcopate freely elected by the united ev- angelical churches, not exclusively by our own." WAR RUMOURS AND THN MONEY MARKETS.— While the depreciation in the French funds caused by the policy of the Emperor Napoleon, has been five per cent., it has been two per cent. In those of England, three per cer.- in Russian, five per cent. in Sardinian, five or six per cent. In Austrian, and about three per cent in Turkish. Altogether it may be estimated that the nominal value of pro- perty invested in public stocks and shares quoted in the European markets has diminished about 60 mil- lions sterling. The Rochester Union states that a man on being arrested for stealing jewellery asked to be permit- ted to kiss his wife before going to jail, which Indul- gence, so seldom asked for by husbands, was of course granted. As their lips parted tl)e officer thought he saw something glisten in the woman's mouth, and on examination found a valuable watch seal. which the husband, in the operation of kissing had transferred from his mouth to hers. The Moniteur" amumncea that Baron Gros, has MC- aeeded in negotiatijiga treaty with Jtpan.
FJREIGLi NWS. f
FJREIGLi NWS. f FRANCE. I The Emperor's New Year's demonstration against A l. _1 'f "'1 .t Austria. Is being explained awav. he "t ODlUI' of Friday says:—For several 'days public opinion has been agitated by alu.rmillg reports, which it is the duty of government to put a stop to In declaring that nothing in diplomatic rda.tions authorises the fear which these reports tend to provoke.—The speech to M. dc ilubner, notwitstaiiding the Mom- teur's explann-tion, hits produced the tremendous faU of3f. in a single week.—-A new Parisian journal, Le Memorial Diplomatique," said to be in Aus- trian Interests, but evidentiy in the hands of French liupcriat writers, ctme out with an article on the "Chances of War," but the writer thereof alto- gether repudiates the probability of war. He denies the existence of any Austro-ltalian league, and con- siders the question of a rupture between France and Austria as conclusively settled by the contradiction of the rumours on that subject published by the Moniteur" a short time ago. This same journal also professes to give the true explanation of what really took place at the Tuileries on New Year's day:—The members of the corps diplomatique were drawn up In a line, according to their order of pre- cedence. On the Emperor's arrival, the Nuncio, In the name of all the representatives of foreign courts wished his Majesty the compliments of the new year. As the Nuncio personifies the entire corps dtp/o- nwtique, the Emperor answered him In a tone of voice audible to the entire body, and said, "I hope that the new year will be as good as the one just ended, and that, in drawing closer the ties which unite the different powers, it may consolidate the general peace." Assuredly if the Intentions of the Emperor are to be sought In anything that he said on this occasion, It must be in the words addressed to the entire diplomatic body, and the pacific sense of these Is beyond all doubt. Having thus spoken, the Emperor resumed a conversational tone, and exchanged a few worda with the English ambassa- dor, who stood on the right hand of the Nuncio, and continued to pass on before the other envoys. When he came to M. de Hubner, the Emperor stopped and said to the ambassador, with that affable and courteous manner which have made such an extra- ordinary nn!af T rogrot that our relLitioni3 with your government are not so good as they have been —but I beg you to tell the Emperor that my per- sonal feelings towards him are not changed." What can be more clear than these words, which evidently mean that although the Cabinets of Vienna and Parif) are divided in opinion as to the Principalities, the navigation of the Danube, and other secondary questions, the person'd relations of the sovereigns are not changed.—The journals of Wednesday even- ing announce the marriage of Prince Napoleon with the Princess Clotilde of Savoy. The Prince left on Thursday night for Marseilles, and embarked for Genoa, where he will remain eight days, and then return- OPENING OF THE SARDINIAN CHAMBERS I m__?. T? ? ? ?\ ?T?l- ? 11 01 -Lumr), uAn. iu.—j-ue loiiowing is a summary 01 the royal speech :-The King thanks the chambers for the assistance afforded to him last session which consolidated the national policy, and the progress of Piedmont. He announces that government will bring in bills for judicial administration and muni- cipal reform. He regrets that the financial crisis and the scarcity of the silk crops prevented a bal- ance In the national exchequer. Ills Mnjesty says that the political horizon is not clear, but that the future must be awaited with firmness. The future cannot fail to be fortunate, because the policy of Piedmont ia based on justice and love of Its country's liberty. The King concludes with the words, Let us resolutely a.w:ut the decrees of Providence." PRUSSIA. I OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS. I BERMN, WEDNESDAY.—The Prince Regent open- ed the Chamber in person this day. The following is a summary of the speech :—" fie laments the protracted suuerlngs of the king and fully recognis- ing the high calling of the deputies, he requests them to assist government with their judgment and devotion in the course which the Prince Regent has taken with regard to Prussian policy-its glorious history and its patriotic traditions-a course which the Prince Regent is determined nrmly to pursue within the limits Immoveably nxed. To preserve the prerogative of the crown unscathed Is one of the chief missions of the Prince's regency. The speech describes the general condition of the country as satisfactory, and promises measures for the in- creased development of railway communication, and other purposes. In order to the further Improve- ment of the country's well-being, lie mentions the pleasing tact that the number of judicial Inquiries and convicted prisoners has diminished, and regards it as a proof of the tendency to an improved state of morals, and of the wholesome influence of the existing state of Prussia's penal laws. Government will take into its consideration their still further improvement, it will also consider decisions for the regulation of unsettled rules relating to the. ad- ministration of public auairs, so that the possibility of official abuse may be prevented. The budget displays a favourable state of the national finances, which will suffice to meet current expenses, pro- gressive increase in the salaries of public servants, and also any new or rising demands from other quarters. The Prince Regent proceeded to say: I confidently expect that the deputies will readily vote a supply for the increased outlays I consider requir- ed for the maintenance of the royal dignity, for augmenting the army force, for the support of the navy, which Is In a nourishing condition, and for a successful development of the country's welfare in all respects. You will perceive from the budget how much care I have continually devoted to the Improvement of our army, which has always, with unshaken devotedness, known how to struggle for and maintain the honour of Prussia, as well in war as in peace. No change has taken place in tbe peacc- ful relations of Prussia towards foreign countries, and all friendly connections with the great powers remains undisturbed. The efforts of government have always, In concert with the other German federal powers, been directed towards obtaining for the German Duchies which are under the Danish sceptre the full exercise of those to which the fedral laws and the treaties between the German Diet and Denmark gave them well-founded claims. The first time I addressed the deputies of this country as re- gent, I called upon them to carry high the banner of Prussia, whereon is inscribed, 6 Kingdom, by the grace of God. Observance of the law and the con- stitution, fidelity, of the people, and of an army conscious of victory. Justice, truth, fear of God.' Forward! Help me to carry high this banner. He who follows It follows me. Let us leave to succeed- ing generations the old Prussian spirit, which nnd& expression in the unanimous chant of Lon<r live the King!' A shout which, thoigh ming0led ° with h I h" 0 sorrow, Is nevert h e l ess ent h usiastic."

The deceased had been til, and sufferel excessively from bodily pain. Of late he had been much depressed in spirita. One of his brothers comctitted suicide, and another died insane.

REVIEW fIF, BRTTISII CORN…
REVIEW fIF, BRTTISII CORN TRADE, I DURING THE PAST WEEK. I The nrst week in the New Year has proved ex- cessively fogey and damp, but with very little rain. There Las been no Interruption to labour in the Acids and many yet compiain that the stream ponds are low while the substratum of the soil has been so dry as to require much force to bre?k it up.. This state of thing"s is, however, favourable to the! growinT Wh&at, as the temperature beiow has been comparativelv high. The atmospheric moisture has b{ell very bud t(irasliiii, but the tone of the Wheat trade has decidedly and generally improved. ¡ Notwithstanding t)ie deterioration in condition, a rise of Is. to 2s. per qr. is about the improvement realized. The very free use of Wheat for cattle feed which now obtains, as well as tor other purposes, seems likely to sustain the advance, especially as the low average 39s. lOd. is the opening price. All spring Corn has evinced nrmness at the same time No particular change can be noted in prices on the Continent. Bv a careful collection, however, of in- formation respecting the late crops in the Corn growing countries of Europe, we are compelled to come to a conclusion that the result is generally lass favourable than expected, while the range of price a in America confirms the early opinion we entertain- ed of a deficiency in that quarter. It does not therefore, seem probable that such liberal imports will long continue to a losing account; while the perpetual rumours of war may suddenly arrive at that lamentable disaster, and give a changed aspect to the corn trade The arrivals since the 30th ult. were only 6; but the business done has been good, viz. :—6 cargoes of Wheat from the Black Sea, at 39s. 6d. to 42s. 6d.; 9 Egyptian, at 24s. 6d. to 27s. 3d. 6 cargoes of Maize, at 26s. 3d. to 29s.; 7 cargoes of Barley, at Os. to 20s. 9d., 3 cargoes of Oats, at 17s to 18s. lid. and one cargoc of S:udi Beans, at 31s. Gd. per qr. The sales noted last were 87,910 qrs. Wheat, at 39s. lOd. against 85,188 qrs. in 1857. The London averages were 43s. 2d. on 2,256 qrs. The imports into the principal ports of Great Bntian for the week ending December 29th, in Wheat and Flour, were 33,718 qrs. FoRElGtf.—In France the fotcs of the season have lately reduced busings to a nominal character, and there has been very little change in price generally; when another week shall have passed more tone in transactions i o expected, but opinion seems gaining ground that about the lowest point is reached, and Flour for iuture deliveries is only offered at about five per cent. over current prices. All other continental markets have been influ- enced by the festive character of the time of year. In Belgium It was completely calm. The demand for Wheat at Antwerp was very much reduced. The diminished stocks, however, of aM grain, fo- reign Oats excepted, together with much reduced rates, left the impression that there was a good mar- gin for speculative purchases In case of any adverse future; but the growing crops were at present loooking as favourable as farmers could desire.

SBMOUa CASK OF PoiSONMG AT SHEFFIELD.—A case of poisoning occurred at Shemeld on Saturday evening, by which one child has lost its life, and the lives of two others &re placed in great jeopardy. The wife of Mr Thomas Bremmer, powder-nask manufacturer, Hanover- street, haviag three young children sufFenng from colds, obtained from the shop ot Mr Hill, druggist, one penny- worth each of opium, Spanish juice, and juniper berries. H&ving made a decoction of the berries and disolved the Spanish juice, she mixed them and the opium together, along with half a pound of treacle. About seven o'clock she gave the elder daughter. Maty, two table-spoonfuls of mixture, and the two younger children smaller quantities. About ten o'clock all the children were taken alarmingly ilt. The father learning what had been administered, at once called in Mr Nieholson, sur- geon, who found the children in a very dangerous state from the effects of the opium. He immediately applied remedies, but without success as regards the eldest child, ased seven years, which died at three o'clock on Sunday morning. The two other children suffered severely, but they were alive on Sunday evening, and there was hope that they would recover. Mrs Uremmsr is stepmother to two of the children. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST A RAILWAY CONTRACTOR.—BARNETT v. MoSS.—At the Cruwe special scession, on the 5th instant, this charge was preferred by William Barnctr, a labourer residing; at Worleston, in the county of Chester, against Thomas Moss, a railway contractor, residing at \tonks Coppcn- hall, in the same county, and arose out of an action brought in tho County Court, at Nantwich, wherein Moss was p)aintin' and Barnett defendant; Mr. Edicston, who appeared for the defendant in the action, being now retained by Moss to defend him on the cri.ninnl charge. The perjury charged was two-fold, namely, in the nrst place, that Moss had sworn falsely that a quantity of pipes supplied in 1855, for which he charged Barnett, .61. J7s.had been returned to him; and secondly, that lie had paid a sum of 10s. to one Djic for a horse and tr-.3T) in the same year, which, in fact, had been pa'd by Bamett. When the evidence for the prosecution (some five or six witnesses) had been fully gone through, in the presence of a large number of the inhabitants of Crewe, the justices adjourned the further hearing until Saturday last, at Mr. Lome's omce, in Nantwich, at twelve o'clock. M"ss wns then set at liberty ou his own recognisance. «a Saturday, Moas atttended at the hour appointed, with his solicitor, Mr. Edicston, who applied to the bench for an adjournment of the case to the next public petty sessions, on the ground that it was important to the interest of his client that his explanation and defence should be as public as the charge had been, and offered to pav all tho prosecutor's costs 0 of the day, and to enter into recog- nisances to any amount the bench nusht think proper, both by Moss and two respectabie inhabitants of Crewe, for Moss's appearance.—The justices intimated their intention of nmshing the business in Mr Lowe'a omue, whereupon, by the advice of Mr. Edieston, Moss de- clined entering on any defence at all, and was committed to take his tria). It is only fair to say that one of the justices expressed himself in favour of the public hear- ing, but his clerical colleague considered the investiga- tion a public one as it stood. CHARGE OF SEDITIOUS PUBLICATION AGAINST A Dun- LiN PRINTER.—At the head po!ice omce, Dublin, Mr John Francis Nugent, the printer and publisher of Moore's Almanack, was brought in custody of two de- tectives, before Mr Porter, and charged with hiving pub- lished and sold a work known as Xugent's Moore's Prophetic Almanac, it being a sediti )us, malicious, nnd scandalous publication, and calculated to bring Har Ma- jesty's government into contempt, against the peace, and our sovereign lady the Queen." The law adviser to the castle, Mr Robertson attended on the part of the crown. The prisoner wa-! without professional as- sistance. The object of the proeocution was to bind the prisoner In his own recognisances to keep the peace, that is, to discontinue the publication of the book. Last year a similar charge was preferred against Nugent. After aome discussion, the further hearing of the case was postponed until Wednesday, to enable the prisoaer to procu'e professional asistancd,-From the Freeman's JbM!'MaJ 0/' Monday Evenipig. SINGULAR. RECONIRE AND CLEVER CAPTURE.—Thos. Jones, a dashing commercial (then traveller for the firm of Hollingsworth and Co. tailors and drapers, of Birm- ingham), who was committed at the petty sessions at Bride-north as far back as the 1st of December. IMS. for having, some days previously, defrauded the several tolt gate:: on the Cteobury Mortimer Road, by claiming exemption of toU by the false statement that he was a police officer on duty, the Information being laid and substantiated by Superintendent William IIenry Baxter of the county constabulary force, was captured by the latter mo<t singularly. On New Year's Day last, Bax- ter was on business at Birmingham, and, in going up Bull-street, recognised his old acquaintance of 3 years back, who hn.() absconded at that time, and thereby eva- ded payment of 6ne. In a moment the active suoer. with his welt-known politeness, sainted Mr Thos. Jones with the compliments of the season, and having at hand the warrant of committal presented to the gaze of the electrined Mr J. whom Baxter immediately took into custody, and, by way of providing for a happy new year, never left him till he had placed him In die safe keep- ing of the Governor of the Shrewsbury Gaol that same evening (thanks to the rapidity of railway locomotion), wherein he will remain for the space of two calendar months. It has transpired that Jones had been upwards of two years away in London, and had lately returned back again to Birmingham, doubtless considering that time had thrown old recollections into oblivion, not having in remembrance that the law's delay, however slow. Is sure at last. But of one thing there can be no doubt, that Baxter's compHments of the season will be nrm'y registered in Mr Jones's memory for many suc- cessive years to come. A CoNvicT's CAREKR.—Captain Ketcheaife was con- victed and sentenced to be transported for 14 years, and in due course" was landed in the colony of Ne\v South Wales. His career in Botany Bay. if transcribed with minute ndelity, would warrant, perhaps, the assumption that it was the most extravagant fiction ever penned. There was scarcely a crime of which he was not guilty in Australia, and of which he was not convicted. Petty theft, burglary, forgery, (he once forged the name of Sir James Dowling, one of the judges, and was transported to rtoriolk istand for Itte), and piracy—piracy on the high seas, and the most extraordinary case that ever Was heard of in this world. When he was on his way to Norfoik LJand, in a chartered brig called the Welling- ton under sentence of transportation for life for forging the signature of Sir James Dowling, he, one night, in u fearful gale of wind, contrived, having ii-itiffli--d his irons, (his naval experience never deserted him), to get upon the deck, and unobserved entered the doctor's cabin, whence he abstracted from the medicine chest a quantity of arsenic, which he threw into the large copper vessel in which was made the soup for the ship's company, the convicts, 50 In number, and the guard, consisting of 25 men of the regiment of foot then quartered In the colo- ny of New South Wales. On the following d<ty, shortly after dinner time (one p.m.), nearly tvery sout on board the Wellington was seized with pains so viofent that they became perfectly helptess, whereupon Captain Ketchcaife and nine men—who, at his bidding, abstain- ed from tasting the soup-in the most quiet and delibe- rate manner Imaginable, took possession of the vessel. The guard was thrown overboard alive, but more prob- ably dying. The master, otScera, and seamen belonging to the versel,4hared the same fate. And then the remaia- ing-foriy convicts were brought up in their irona, and vith equai temorKletsneM wera committed to the deep.

THREE INMATES OF A NEWOATE CELL.—Ex-Under- Sherift Hose, urging, through me column of a contem- porary, the reconstruction of the part of ew ate 9.l'pru- priate to women, observes: "In one rcom I have aeen a woman—Mary Ann Alice Seago by name-who had beaten her atepehiid to deatn under circumstances 01 unparallcted barbarity. The process of murder occu- pied aome considerable time; but i cannot write the de- tails, and it would be sickening to read them. She waa a clever, cunning woman, well educated and with a very competent knowledge of the law relating to prisons, with which she often favoured the ofnuials. and full of grievances. Sir G. Grey, the then Secretary of State for the home Department, would not remove her from Newgate on account of a supposed delicacy of health, nnd tLe most egectua.1 otop to the outTn.gcs r.nm netted t'y this woman in prison was a threat to get her removed from Newgate. Confined with her was one Celestina Somner, also well educated convicted of cuttmg the throat of her child, ten years old, in a coal cellar, with a carving knife, and whose conviction was secured by the evidence of a servant girl, Rachel, who slept usually in or on a bed in the kitchen, through which the moLher and daughter passed in their way to the shambles in the coal-ceUar, and who, awakened that night, heard the butcher in the act of murder informing her victim that she would 'teach the——to tell lies.' That servant girl- her nervoua system strung in all agony of fear—became many years older that night; for her mistress, carving- knife in hand, came to Rachel's bed to turn her over and aae whether she was asleep, which she pretended to bo. "I did not go to sleep,' said this witness at the trial; 'I lay awake all night.' The softening influence of prison associations on the heart of Celestim Somner may be imagined when she informed her convict companions that she was sorry she had not finished the servant as well as her own child. The last of the three companions was a woman who, by three different men, had had three children, who, wishing to visit a paramour in the coun- try (whether the father of any of her enuring I forget, but 1 ,tbink not), and nnding the expense of moving them all more than she could afford, de!iherate!y took two lof her children down to a canal, and held them under water till they were dead. this woman before her trial trumped up a dc!ibcrate lie with elaborate eir- cumstances against tLe poiicem&n who t;ok her In cus- tody, which she adhered to alter trial and conviction, but, in the imminent prospect of the galloa,e, she admit- ted the whole to be false. These three were associated together in one roo.n—vain of the attention they excited and received—as such crimin.da usually are, the mure so the worse the crime and the more notorious the crimnal. They were attended by the doctor, the clergyman, the governor, the matron, the visiting magistrates, the she- riSs, the undcr-sberiS's (to say nothing of vtsitors) who ..1 Id .1 dO, are privileged, some daily and somf weekly, to wait upon criminals to hear a statement of tneir complaints and grievances. More, much more might be added; but this is enough to m-ove that Newgate wants further im- prove men t." LONDON Ri.MonRH.ED.—A French architect, one M. Horeau, is good en')ug!i to project for us an improve- niant amounting to little a)iort of an entire reconstruc- tion of the metropohs lie aJn, iti the nrst place, that \ve shouid give up to him nearly all the city, and more- over, that large space extending from Te'nple Har to Westminster Bridge, and tying between PiceadiDy and the river. Imagine the heart of the tne*,ro:j(dis laid wnstc. Miles of ncw. streets will then arise—hroad, straight, and pym metrical in arra.ngetnent,—and, above all, thick- ly studded with gorgeous piles, devoted to the govern- ment offices and other public institutions. Jn St. James's Park will be found the magDiueent "Pahtf'c of Civilisatioa and the -Arts," froni which we shall pass down by an avenue of co)os9:d dimensions, called Ci- Yilisation-street," to a one-arched bridge over the Thames and so on to a universal railway sta.ti'tn, of the same proportiona, on the southern Hide of the river. JIyde Park wtiL extnbit an a'nbittous monona) of the Exhi- bition of 1851; while in the dingy district where we now fmd London. Wall, we shall (when M. Horeeu's plans are carried out.) seek in the City of London Ho- te)," with its spacious and blooming gardens, the nncst ca)*avanscrat .in the world. The metropolitan drainage, and the embankment of tho tiver Thames, are subsidi- ary features of this dazzling archi'.eetural dream, which reduces to utter insignificance Mr. Bere3ford Hope's modest proposition for the reconstruction of the district of Whitehall, and the building of a coupie of bridges over the river, aa an incidental accompaniment to the erection of the new government omccs. That M. Horeau's plan is a complete one, one willins;!y concedes; it he believes that it will ever b! executed, he at least is a proof that an age of incredulity has left us at least one man of faith. Tn&OAT AFFECTIONS.—The prevalence of these yery distressing aid oftentimes destructive disordcra for many years past in this country has placed them in the category of the ni')St fatal ma!adiea. It is, therefore, most satis- factory to know that a very simpte and safe remedy- Dr. de Joogh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil -containing peculiar curative principles which therapeutic experience has proved to be totally wanting in the Palo Oil-has been prescribed by the Faculty in numerous caaea of chronic bronchitis and throat au'ectioua, and has an'ordcd not only immediate mitigation, but has finally and ef- fectually restore 1 suffJrers to permanent health. The actual beae&t. derived is thus conclusively stated bv Mr Arthur Cridland, an eminent London surgeon in exten- sive practice:—" The effect of Dr. de Jongh'aOU on myself lut winter was remarkable. I suffered from ex. ceasivo irritation of tha larynx, consequently I was greatly reduced in strength and appearance, and quite unable to attend my professional duties. It occurred to me that the oil which I was frequently prescribing would benefit my own cise, and after taking it a ibw days, its good e9t;ct commenced, and at the end of six weeks I regained my usual health and strength, and had entirely lost the laryngial irritation, which was of a most ha; Ba- sins' and fearfuilv distressing fhfu-ac.fnr J -o Mr. SPURGEOf.-Ivlr. Spurgeon. it strikes us, has made great progtesj in all his chief and distinguishing at- tributes as a public speaker during the bygone year. His piety is unquestionably the foundation of his rare poputarity, as well as hie success in the conversion of 'Nun. There is a subdued and chastened air about him which adda irmnefisely to the effl!ct of his address. Some years back wu had occasion to observe that his power was greatly in excess, and that he waa defective in p i- thoa. He had all the vigour of a Whit.n.ld without the tenderness. Thia defect we were alike surprised and pleased to 6nd completely corrected. Mr. Spurgeoa is as much an object of interest in the United States as in his native land, and there is an intense deaire to sen him.

A MoTHEB AND INFANT BuRXT To DEATH.—On Mon- day morning, between nina and ten o'clock a very shock- ing occurrence took ptaoe in Bruton Mows North, BHrkeley-squarc, London. It appears that the wife of a coachman, named Fraxcr, residing at No. 18 in the Mews, was sitting over the tire with an infant two weeks old at her breast, when she wai suddenly seized with a n;, and both mtther and child shoching to rcl.ttu fell into the nre. It was not till the house waa HHed with smoke, that tho horribfe situation of the wretched WUlllan and her infant was discovered, when they were dragged out with their clothes consumed to tinder. The moUic', who is mosc frightfuHy burnt, now lies at St. George's Hospital. Wtdi.'ut the Hligiltest hopes of re- covery. Tho infant is in St. George's workhouse, Mount- street, &rosvcnor-s()uaro, also .auch burnt; the poor wonun it appears has been subject to nts since chitdhood had it not been for the exertion of Mr. Turner the engine-kcper of St. George s an active and cmcieot office. in all probab.hty both wouid have perished and pOi5ibly the whole range of buildings consumed.
