May 12, 300 THE EXAMINER. He wondered how any member of that assembly could submit such a proposition. M. Jules Favre condemned the conduct of the government, and asserted that it had deceived the soldiers composing the expedition, by leading them to believe that they were going to light against the Austrians but when they found that they were to be led against the Romans, they were of course highly incensed at the deception practised upon them. The Minister of Marine was speaking at the time the post left.

The whole of the debate was conducted in the greatest disorder. may well be imagined, he took a deep interest in everything connected witli the York railways, and it is said had a very large investment in them Hp. was in the gardens of the Yorkshire Museum during the evening previous to his death, and about half-past ten o'clock his body was discovered in the waters of the Ouse, near to the esplanade, and not very far from his own residence at Clifton. When the body was brought to the shore signs of life were apparent, but he died before medical assistance couid be procured. His remains were conveyed to his own house.

The government, however, were fully alive to this unsatisfactory aspect of affairs, and had taken all military precautions necessary in the event of an attempted outbreak. This agitated state of the public mind had, of course, its influence on the Bourse, and prices declined. From one end of Germany to the other all the principal towns appear to be in commotion. Discontent and civil war seem to be raging everywhere.

This morning's post brings intelligence of an outbreak at Dusseldorff; the struggle lasted only five hours, and the military came off victoriously. At Breslau disturbances have likewise taken place. Nearly all the cities of Prussia have been placed in a state of siege. Landau, in Bavaria, and Hanover, too, have been declared under martial law. King Ernest has been compelled to quit his capital, and to take up an abode in his castle at Herrenhausen.

From Dresden accounts have arrived to the 9th inst. The riots were not put down, but the troops were vanquishing the insurgents. At Vienna the news arrived on the 5th that a battle had taken place near Sjered, three leagues from Presburg, which the Hungarians were the victors. They crossed the river, and Sjered fell into their hands. The consternation at Presburg was very great, as it was supposed the Austrians could not hold out.

The Hungarians have entered Galicia, and will probably proceed towards Biala, to cut off the communications between Vienna and Galicia. A letter from Pesth, dated May 1st, states that Kossuth had issued a proclamation, in which he tells the Hungarians to have courage, and fear nothing, for thousands of their fellow-countrymen are ready to sacrifice life and property in their defence; he says the Russians are coming, called, it is true, by the Austrians to help them, but with the real motive of assisting the Hungarians that the Slavonians, the Transylvanians, and the Galicians, are all rising in their favour, and to free them from an insupportable yoke.

28J 29i 1924-245 CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Robbery of Coins at the British Museum. At the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday, Timoleon Vlasto, aged twenty-four, was indicted for stealing 266 coins, valued at 5002., the property of the trustees of the British Museum. The prisoner, a gentlemanly-looking man, is by birth a Greek, and of good family, and seemed but imperfectly acquainted with the English language. Upon the various indictments having been read over, be pleaded guilty.

There was also a further charge against him for stealing seventy-one coins, valued at 1502., the property of General Fox, in his dwelling-house. To this indictment the prisoner also pleaded guilty. Mr Clarkson, who appeared on behalf of the prisoner, applied to the court to defer passing sentence until the next day, when he (the learned counsel) would call witnesses to show his highly-respectable position in society, and also that he had not possessed himself of the coins for the purpose of either selling or raising money on them and but that he (the learned counsel) thought the court would ridicule the idea, he should say that the act was that of a monomaniac, and had arisen out of the prisoner's mission for collecting coins there being in his possession a great number 28 2U Long Annuities Bank Stock India Stock Exchequer Bills India Bonds men What an awful responsibility hanging over a writer What man holding such a place, and knowing that his words go forth to vast congregations of mankind to grown folks to their children, and perhaps to their children's children but must think of his calling with a solemn and humble heart May love and truth guide such a man always It is an awful prayer may heaven further its fulfilment The Stanfield Hall Murders All the furniture and effects in Stanfield Hall will be sold by public auction during the ensuing month, as the family will not reside there in future.

Resignation op the Directors op the Eastern Codnties Railway. The proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway held a meeting on Thursday in the Loudon Tavern, adjourned from their usual half-yearly meeting in February last, at which Mr Hudson's resignation was tendered and accepted, and a committee was appointed to examine into the affairs and o-eneral management of the railway. In the report of this committee the substantial charges were that the accounts had been cooked during the whole of Mr Hudson's management, and that the dividends during the same time had been paid out of capital instead of revenue.

Long before the time of meeting the large room of the London Tavern was densely crowded with shareholders, who occupied the time in anxiously discussing amongst themselves the prospects of their property. When the directors, headed by Mr Waddington, entered the room by a private door, which was closely guarded by" a strong party of police, they were hailed by the audience with hisses, groans, and all manner of execrations. Missiles even were thrown at the directors by some of the more excited shareholders. The proceedings of the meeting were throughout of the most stormy and violent description, and lasted so long as to preclude us from giving more than the general results obtained, which were the resignation of the chairman and board of directors, and the adoption of a proposition on the part of Mr Cash, the Chairman of the Committee, that six shareholders should be appointed, holding from to stock, six holding from 3,0002. to 5,0002., six from 2,0002.

In proposing this plan, Mr Cash congratulated the meeting on their having refused to receive any dividend. A vote of thanks to the committee was then carried bv acclamation, and the meeting, which lasted 104 106 -71s. 60 63 16j- 17 33 ZU RAILWAYS AND PUBLIC COMPANIES.

Mr Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, said he had no opposition to offer to the application, and wished the court to understand that the prosecution had been brought forward in strict accordance with the proper legal forms. The Common Sergeant said there was not any doubt but that the prosecution had been fairly got up.

The court had but one duty to perform, and although the prisoner was a young man of good family he must be dealt with by the court as all others were.

Oudinot's troops upon Rome, the letter of the President of the 5f- Oi Republic to that gallant officer, and the excited feelings consequent on the approaching elections, have tendered more or less to produce this result.

The Italian expedition, is, however, the great difficulty and whether General Oudinot has exceeded his instructions from the government, or that the government has gone beyond the understood Assault by a Disappointed Artist. At Marlborough street on Saturday, Mr R. Evans, of Newman street, artist, was summoned before Mr Hardwick, charged with having committed an assault on Mr Knight, the secretary of the Royal Academy. It arose out of the rejection of a work sent by Mr Evans for exhibition. The usual printed circular was sent to him, and he immediately came to the institution, demanded to see Mr Knight, and on seeing him made use of violent language, calling Mr Knight a "shuffler," "infernal scoundrel," and other opprobrious names and at length struck him on the head with a stick he held in his hand, which, according to the medical evidence, must have hurt him very severely.

After hearing the evidence confirmatory of the statement, Mr Hardwick decided upon sending the case to the sessions, but agreed to accept bail, which was tendered and accepted. Results of a Love-Matoh. On Monday, at the Marylebone office, Mr C. Higgins was brought before Mr Broughton, charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct at 11 Upper Montague street, Montague square he was also charged on a warrant obtained against him by his wife, the daughter of Sir Paul Joddrell, of Portland place, with having threatened to do for her," in consequence of which said threat she was in fear of her life, and, therefore claimed protection at the hands of the magistrate. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and it was shown that defendant was some years ago received as a guest at Sir P.

Joddrell's house, and that he ingratiated himself into the good graces of his daughter, with whom he ran away, and a marriage took place between them at Whifcechapel Church. Sir Paul and her ladyship were averse to the match, and neither of them had since been upon friendly terms with defendant, who had assaulted his wife violently on the 26th but she did not then press the charge against him he had since abused her and threatened her in the terms before alluded to, and she was fearful that he would do her some injury; he had unfortunately given himself up to habits of intemperance, and she had in more than one instance been assaulted by him for the last assault he was brought before this court, but as she had no wish to punish him, as he had promised not to molest her any more, he was discharged on paying 5s. for being drunk. Mr Broughton now ordered him to 7 ii 104 Si 33 224 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 7 12 6 10 20 20 20 2i- 31 214 94- wishes of the assembly, remains enveloped in obscurity which time alone can remove. Yesterday afternoon the subject was again brought before the assembly, when M.

Ledru Kollin insisted that the chamber had never intended that the expedition was to be anything more than one of observation, and that it never contemplated an invasion of Rome. He continued to speak for some time with much violence of sentiment and language, and concluded by proposing that the assembly should 40 10 20 35 25 40 50 00 100 25 100 100 41 13 100 235 14i 35 25 172 61 121 133 112 84 67 29 124 46 ID 125 47 224 -H -231 -33 -24 170 -79 119 131 -111 -82 66 27 12 44 181 120 -46 find bail, himself in ana two sureties in each (with twenty-four solemnly acknowledge tne ltoman republic. M. Odilon Barrot, in reply, said that it was evident the late affair in Italy was a 'godsend to persons of Ledru Rollin's way of thinking. This expression produced an indescribable uproar from the red republicans, who assailed the speaker with all kinds of opprobrious epithets.

M. Clement Thomas broadly intimated that the injudicious conduct of the government, if persisted in, would lead to another civil war. M. Odilon Barrot condemned such language, particularly on the eve of a general election. If civil war should follow, the guilt would fall on the heads of those who yearned for internal commotion, and not on the government, who had laboured to restore quiet and prosperity to the country.

Ihe object of the expedition was entirely of a mediatory character, and was neither intended to pull down one government, nor to set up another.
