The Leeds Mercury from Leeds, West Yorkshire, England • 14

SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1864. IMPLEMENT to THE LEEDS w-av Tawi8ti Losses. Roports have been re ni nn Thursday, the Lord Tylto Vieksburg, if it had not already ceived by the Minister of War from the Danish headquarters, "iving a precise nominal list of tho Danish losses in killed, "wounded, and missing from the comnieocemanfc of the war until the engagement before Duppel on the 22nd ult. Tho list shows a total of 43 officers, two regimental surgeons, and 1,024 men. The All-England Crickrtersjn Australia.

Are there many parts of the world in which thousands of youDg men would, on the landing of eleven cricketers, go out to meet them, and escort them into town with something of the fervour with which the British public welcomed the arrival of the Princess Alexandra Are we never to hear and read tho last of Hayward's batting, of Lookyor's wicket-keeping, of Tilney's slows so insidious and destructiveof Grace's, and Tarrant's, and old Parr's general cricketing perfections? Silver coinage mu3t be plentiful here when 2,500 were taken in halt-crowns for entrance to the ground on New Year's day, and sums little lees on several of the following days. Of course the AU-BDgland have been uniformly victorious, except in the first Melbourne game, which was declared "a drawn one," only because the four days allotted to it expired before the Eleven (with many wickets to spare) had time to top the Victorian score. Since that day the Eleven have been starring it in the provinces, have done a circuit of victories, which have been always duly and in minutest details described to us with the gusto of an artist by "Our Own Correspondent" of the Argus, solemnly laid on for the occasion. The Ararat Advertiser had an article the other day on the English cricketers' eyes, all of which are said to be blue, whence the journalist's inference is that this is the proper colour for that quickness of sight so necessary for the noble game. Crying for new fields to conquer, the Eleven are now meditating New Zealand and South Australia.

New Zealand tempts them with an offer of 2,000, South Australia with 1,300. No wouder, therefore, your redoubtable Eleven are, upon the whole, disposed to follow these cricketing wars, when the Warfarers are everywhere in this fashion putting money in their purse.

Short lengths of winter goods in overcoatings have been purchased during the week by some country houses, in the wool trade somewhat more has been domg, the sustaining of prices for good and clean, wools at the current London sales having tended to improve the local demand.

WOOL AND WORSTED. BliADrortT), Thursday. -There is a continuation to-day of the active business which has been done in wool for tho past week or two, and, as before, bright wools move off more freely than downs. Prices are irregular, but generally a shade firmer, and in some instances transactions have been prevented by the extreme rates asked. There is an improved demand in the yam market, chiefly for the home trade and partly in consequence of this improvement, but pria' cipally on account of the advance in wool, spinners are gene-rally asking mors money, which in some cased is obtained.

The foreign demand shows very little change, although id's ire mere inquired for. There is a better general trade in the piece market, and even the German bouses arc looking up. For fancies, and more especially for China figures anil lenos, there is au excellent demand, and makers are, and appear likely to continue, very busily employed. There i3 an advance in the prices of camlets, says, princettos, merinos, China lastings, aud others heavy fabrics, and also in Orleans, Terms are generally harder.

SJSCtreit German Powers would have wUlinginopped their military action and entered into riSB. But. with regret, we must state that our ph ftff.ttnde assumed by tho hopes havo been deceived, impose unon us the duty of main- lea i 4 1 ittiniDC the coercive measures to wnion we av- imporfant SSBitoat hwo justified the aSrity given tc Tthe Commander-in-Chief of the Austro-Pru sian troops to enter Jutland to cover the posi ion of his forces and to keep in check the Danes assembled at Frederioia, preventing them from threatening the flanks of the armyror from devoting all their strength to the defenoe of the lines at Diippel. "Tie two Powers had the less hesitation allowing this strategic movement as they had good grounds to use reprisals towards the Danish Government, winch had issued orders to seize iu the open sea all vessels belonnng to the belligerent States and to States forming part of the Confederation.

"The extension given, however, to the military operations does not in any respect alter the previous declarations of the Government of relative to its attitude the confliot. To prove in a still more patent manner that its conciliatory views are sincere and that its intentions are unchanged, the Government of declares ltBelf ready to conclude an armistice with Denmark, either upon the baBis of the evacuation of the positions of Diippel and of Alsen by the Danish troops, or of Jutland by -the Austro-Prussian army, upon the basis of the military uti-possidetis. But in either case the Government of insists upon the condition that cessation of hostilities by sea shall be included in the armistice, that all captures shall bo reciprocally returned, and all embargo on vessels In port removed. "The Government of declares itself, at the same time, ready to enter into conference with the Powers interested to discuss the proper means for the re-establishment of peace." THE LOSS OP THE BOHEMIAN. Papers received by the Hibernian give additional particulars respecting the evidence adduced at the inquest which was held upon the bodies of some of tho unfortunate passengers who were drowned through the wreck of the Montreal ocean steamship Bohemian, whioh took place in Caseo Bay, off the shore of Cape Elizabeth, on tho 22nd of February last.

The jury returned a verdict to the efBeot that the sinking of the Bohemian was "caused by her collision with Alden's Hook at about eight o'clock on the evening of the 22nd of February, when running at the rate of one and one half to two and two and a half knots per hour. The collision was owing, 1st, to an error in the judgment of Capt. Borland as to the distance from Cape Elizabeth lights, whioh were then visible 2nd, that, even had the steamar been where Captain Borland supposed her to be, it would have been a coui'bo of wisdom and oaution to have taken a more eastward direction than he did take, till Portland light was made 3rd, that said collision would not probably have occurred had there been a bell-boat on Alden's Book 4th, that, though the weather was mild and oalm, and two steamers were overdue, while another was expected, the pilot employed by the owners of tho line was not in a position to observe the Bignals made by the steamer. Most of the passengers were drowned, thirty in all, in consequence of the swamping of a boat while being launched. A boat, kDown as No.

6, left the ship when but partially filled with passengers, and, though repeatedly ordered back by the oificors, refused to return, and this refusal contributed to increase the loss of life." Tho jurors add that, ''after the steamer Btruck, every officer connected was at his post, and officers and men worked with energy and good judgment rarely equalled, and never surpassed, to avoid the loss of life, and to securo tho passengers from threatened death. The Steamship Company are specially worthy of commendation for their efforts for the recovery of the bodies of the drowned, and in defraying the expenses connected thereupon and tho Steamship Company, the Board of Trade, and citizens of Portland and the citizens of Cape Elizabeth have been most earnest and untiring in then- efforts to relieve the sufferings of those around, and to forward them to their several destinations." When the Hibernian left, the Bohemian was stdl firmly fixed on a rock, with from 30 to 50 feet of water under the bow and stern, the centre of the vessel only touching. The arrangements were nearly ready for raising her, and the wreckerswere confident of success. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER. A Paris letter, of Wednesday evening, says A cause celilbrc is now being tried at Aixv All the principal Paris journals have sent special reporters, and MM.

Jules Favrc and Laohaud are retained for the defence. In July last a man named Maurice Eoux, a coachman, in the service of M. Armand, a gentleman of laTge property, residing at Montpellier, was found in the cellar of his master's house, lying on his faoe, and a wound on the back of his head, a rope tightly drawn rouDd his neck, bis hands tied behind his back, and apparently in a dying state. It was in the evening that he was thus found. The man had been missed all day, and M.

Armaud had several times spokon angrily of his absence from his duties. A maid servant in tbe house, who had hoard her master inquiring for Maurice Eoux, told him that she thought she heard Maurioe groaning in the cellar. M. Armand said the girl must be dreaming, but he nevertheless accompanied her down the cellar stairs, and there found Maurice in the position described. M.

Armand at onco ran to fetoh medical mon, and a commissary of police. According to the report of tho medical men Maurice was nearly strangled, and in a most dangerous condition. He could not Bpeak a word, but waB ablo to understand what was said to him. The commissary of police produced a child's alphabet of ivory letters, and asked the man to spoil the person's name who had attempted to murder him. He spelt Armaud" his master.

A long examination ensued, by means of the alphabet, in the course of which tho man explained that while he was sawing wood in the cellar his master canm behind him, and saying, "Jo t'opprendrai a appsler ma maison une baraque" (I will teach you to call my houao a batraok) he struck him a tremendous blow on the head with a log of wood, which felled him to the ground then he twisted a rope tightly round his neck, and tied his hands behind him. This happened at eight o'clock in the morning. "When Maurice Baux recovered he repeated by word of mouth everything that he had indicated by the alphabet, persisted in his story after being warned by the Judge of Instruction of his terrible responsibility to God and man if he made a false accusation and took the sacrament upon it in the preEenc. of the judge. M.

Armand was arrested upon this testimony, and at the end of last year ho was brought to the bar of the assize court of Montpel'lier to take his trial on a capital charge. But when judge and jury were assembled, when the Prooureur-Imperial was ready with his Bpeeoh for the prosecution, when M. Jules Favre, specially brought down from Paris, had taken his seat in front of the dook in whioh the prisoner was placed and, when the court was crammed to suffocation with tho principal inhabitants of the department, burning with curiosity to hoar the case, thoustounding news came that Maurice Boux, on his way to the court to give evidence, had beon waylaid and beaten within an inch of his life, so that it was impossible for him to appear. The trial was necessarily postponed. The general opinion in Montpellier was that M.

Armand, who is a very wealthy man, had suborned a bravo to murder Maurice Boux in order to prevent him from appearing against him. Maurice Eoux, however, revived after Eome days' medical treatment. Meanwhile 'a counsel applied to the Court of Cassation for a change of venue, on the ground that there was so much prejudice against the prisoner at Montpellier that be could not have a fair trial there. The Court granted the application, and ordered that the trial should take place at Aix. It is a singular circumstance, and one that gives rise to many conjectures, that when the list of witnesses was called at tho opening of the trial, Maurice Eoux did not answer, aud it wa3 stated in Court that when he arrived at Aix by tho railway he was taken very ill.

The public prosecutor said, however, that he was expected to attend the next day. The extraordinary defenoe set up is that Maurice Eoux's story is a pure invention, that he inflicted injuries upon himself, put the ropo round his own neck, and tied his own hands behind him, upon the calculation that by accusing his master, who has the reputation of being a violent man, and is Baid to have struck his servants before, he should get a large sum of money out of him. This theory is supported by Dr. Tardieu, the most eminent professor of medical jurisprudence in Paris, aud by Dr. Jacquet, a leading surgeon of Montpellier.

Nevertheless, the public prosecutor made a crashing speech against the prisoner, and pressed urgently for a conviction. The improbabilities on either side aro very great, and the reBnlt of the trial is awaited with extraordinary intorost. The Wodnded Danes anbEnqlish Reiief. The Central Committee for tho rolief of the families of Boldicrs and sailors, the sick and wounded, or the relicts of the fallen, at Copenhagen, iu acknowledging the reaeipt of the first cheque for 1,000, say '5 We oannot omit to request your Excellency, in the name of the Danish soldiers and and, we may add, in tho name of all Danes, to express to his LordBhip, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the other members of the committee, and all who have joined them, their most cordial and unfeigned gratitude for the sympathy they have shown, both ia word and in deed, with our beloved native country, now struggling against German violence and superior forces. The Danish nation, fighting for its liberty and independence, fully appreciates this sympathy on the part of the free English people, whose institutions form the pattern of that free development whioh the Danish King and nation, in full harmony, have laboured to advance and confirm.

Our unequal struggle now threatens the cessation of this development and the dismemberment of the realm, but the nation relies upon tho justice of its cause, and is strengthened in this confidence by such proofs of Bympathy as the one we have just received on tho part of the noble English people, whose well known sense of justice gives double weight to its sympathy." asi njiAJiw Ny.u. Chancellor announced that judgment would be given, in the Alex-dra cose on an early day after the Easter recess. A Nuw and Formidable Gtjw tor Land and NAVAL PDBrosES It has been known for some time in Liverpool that the Mersey Steel and Iron Works Company, the manufacturers of the celebrated Horsfall gun, were making a gun from desigDS of Mr. Maokay, of Aigburth. This weapon was understood to be constructed on a now mrinciple, by which a rotatory motion was imparted to the woiVctiles -without the aid of rifling in the gun itself and much interest baa attached to the experiments, as one ot the most serious drawbacks to rifled ordnance iB the dimimsnecl velocity with which the shot leaves the muzzle after following the twist of the grooves.

Mr.Mackay's gun has recently been completed, and.on Monday a series of tnalB wero made, hut as these were of a private oharacter tho results only nave become known. The new gun was taken to the shore at Crosby, where some experiments were made with the view of testing the general capabilities of the weapon and ot ascertaining the velocity of shot of various weights, with graduated charges of powder. In these experiments tho initial velocity was measured by Newman's electrmat apparatus, similar to that used at Shoeburyness. With a cylindrical projectile, weighing 100 and a charge of 201bs. of powder, tho initial velocity was 1,508 feet par second, although there was a strong wind blowing across the range.

The targets were placed at 1,000 and 1,500 yards distant, and in the course of Monday's trials several shots were sent through them. The gun weighs nine tons, is muzzle-loading, and the bore is 8.12 inches. Of course the experiments have not been concluded, but so far as they have gone they are considered highly satisfactory.

Narrow Escape iiom Death. On Tuesday morning, one of the most providential escapes from death experienced by a number of passengers we ever remember to have heard of occurred as the first train in the morning was on its way from Dundee to Edinburgh. The train had left Leuchars, and had just got its steam into full power, and was proceeding at full rate, wheD, by some unaccountable occurrence, the engine went off the rails, taking the carriages with it It had by this time got to the St. Andrew's junction, and close to the bridge which crosses the Eden, It was here that the danger occurred. The engine left the rails on the east side, and sprang up on tho parapet stones of the bridge, which it cleared off as it passed along.

The height of the bridge is supposed to be between 20 and 25 feet, and the wheels were within, it seems, an inch of the edge when it arrived at the end. Here it went down the embankment but, providentially, owing to the softness of the ground, which is a compound of soft earth and sand, it did not get far till it sunk, burying the engine up to the wheels. Next tho engine was a second-class carriage, carrying the mail and fortunately the only passenger in this carriage was the old gentleman who travels with the maiL This carriage followed the engine, but neither the passenger nor the carriage were injured. The stoker, when he saw the danger of the engine off the rails, and the fearful bridge before him, and an almost certain death in view, took a leap, and esoaped unhurt. The driver had less presence of mind to use his own words, he wan unmanned, completely petrified and, excepting reversing his engine, he clung to it-handle, and, though he escaped nnhurfc, his nervous Bystem got a terrible shook.

The engine nearly turned over, and stopped at an angle bordering on the turning point. How did the other carriages escape? This near chain connecting the next carriage snapt, and the carriages turned in the other direction, the division betwixt the two lines of rails. They ran a short distance, and the buffer entered the back of the carriage that followed the engine. There were twenty-four passengers that left Dundee, and three joined on the way, making with the guard and enginemen about thirty persons altogether, and yet, with the exception of a shook and rebound, not one received even a scratch, so far at least as known. The rails were considerably damaged aud torn up for about fifty yards, but were got righted in tho course of next dav.

The engine is not much damaged, and it is expected will be got up early. The passengers were delayed about an hour and a half, till an engine and carriages were got on from Cupar. The only one who suffered anything was the driver, who was so shocked as to be unable to go on. The trains during the day were delayed a little, and the expense will principally be iu the rails. It is said that the sleepers were in very bad order.

The Deutsche PetersbwgerZeitung, in a semi-official leading article, categorically denies the statement that Galicia has been declared in a state of siege in consequence of an understanding having been come to between Austria and Russia. The journal accuses the Morning Post of wishing to draw Prance from her passive attitude in the Danish question, by raising a cry that the Holy Alliance is about to be revived, and says, We do not as yet see any reason for intervention in the proceedings of the great German Powers. The military operations in Jutland are simply strate-getic measures. Russia is strong enough to suppress the insurrection should it again raise its head, without a state of siege being proclaimed in Galicia." THE RUMOURED HOLY ALLIANCE. St.

Petersburg, March 15. The Journal de St, Pek.rshov.rg of to-day denies the rumour of the revival of the Holy Alliance having either the character of a league of Sovereigns to destroy the liberties of peoples, or of a coalition of Europe against one great Power. The only Holy Alliance possible," adds the journal, is thatof peace, progress, and general prosperity. Russia has need of rest to carry out reforms nevertheless she would not be the last to join a Holy Alliance, the objects of which would neither threaten the interests of nor exclude any Power, always excepting those wishing to intrigue, and who are iu reality enemies both to the liberties and prosperity ot nations.

It is reported from Washington hat1 the real object of the campaign in the South-west has been the overthrow of General Johnston's army; that the demonstration of Grierson, Sherman, and Parragut were feints to induce a diversion of Johnston's army from the support of the points they threatened, and that the late advance by General Thomas towards Dalton was made bv thirty-five thousand troops, which was intended to be followed by that of his whole force The vigilance of the Confederates has frustrated the Federal plan.

The identical note dispatched by Austria and Prussia to the signataries of the London Treaty, in explanation of then- advance into Jutland, is stated to be "March 7, 186-1. The Prussian (Austrian) Government had hoped that the Danish Government would have displayed a more conciliatory disposition. In that case tho two great German Powers would have hastened to interrupt their military action, and to enter into negotiations.

We are, however, compelled to state with regret that our expecta-tioES hve been deceived. The attitude of the Copenhagen Court and its refusal to take part iu the Conferences proposed by England, impose upon us the duty of persisting in tho measures of compulsion to which we have resorted. Important strategio considerations have occasioned the order which has been Ejiven to the Commander-in-Chief of the Austro-Prussian forces to advance into Jutland, in order to secure tho position of his troops, and hold the Danes concentrated at Fredericia in check, as he prevents their threatening tho flanks of the army, or devoting all their strength to the defence of the line of Diippel. The two Powers have had the less hesitation in permitting this strategic movement, as they were justified in adopting measures of reprisal against the regulations of the Danish Government, ordering the seizure of ships upon the high seas belonging not only to tho Powers waging war, but also to ihe other StateB of the Germanic Confederation. The extension hereby given to the military operations in other respects altera nothing in the former declarations of the Prussion (Austrian) Government regarding its position in the present disagreement.

Tho better to prove that its personal sentiments! are sincere and its intentions unaltered, the Prussian (Austrian) Government declares itself ready to conclude an armistice with Denmark at once, either upon the basis of mutual evacuation of the positions at Diippel and upon Alsen by the Danish troops, and by the Auatro-Prussian army in Jutland, or upon that of the military ul-i possidetis. But iu the one caso, as in the other, the Prussian (Austrian) Government stipulates as conditions that the cessation of hostilities by sea shall bo included in the armistice, that the prizes made upon both sides shall be given up, and that the embargo laid upon ships harbour shall be withdrawn. The Prussian (Austrian) Government declares itself equally ready to enter into a conference with the Powers concerned as to the means best fitted to restore peace," CIRCULAR DESPATCH OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT ON THE PROPOSITION OF A CONFERENCE. The following is a copy of a despatch which has been addressed by the French Minister of Foreign Affair to the representatives of France abroad "fARIS, -6D. 1801.

Sir, You have learnt that the English Government has just made at Vienna and Berlin a proposition of a conference which is to assemble immediately, to deliberate on the fit arrangements to lead to peace between the two groat German Powers and Denmark. Similar overtures have been made at Copenhagen. Tn the opinion of the British Cabinet the conference might ait without hostilities being suspended. If the belligerents should accept that proposition, the Government of the Queen would invite France, Eussia, and Sweden, as well as the Germanic Confederation, to name plenipotentiaries immediately. "We have reasons for thinking that the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin are disposed to give their assont to the idea of this deliberation.

Wo believe, moreover, that the Court of Austria continues to regard the treaty of 1852 as supplying a proper basis for the new arrangement. 'The principle of the integrity of the Danish monarchy haB been affirmed in tha identical declarations of the two German Courts, dated the 31st of January, and according to tho formal assurances of the Austrian Cabinet, this principle remains plaeed under tho safeguard of Europe. The hostilities have not invalidated stipulations which bind Austria aod Prussia not only to Denmark but to many other powers. Austria only claims liberty of action in that which concerns the traus-ction that occurred in 1851-52 between Germany and Denmark relativo to the position of the Duchies in the monarchy, and to the relations which formerly existed between Holstein aud Schleswig. We have no reason to suppose that tho view of the Prussian Cabinet is different but it remains to be seen what reception the Danish Government and the Gemma Confederation will give to the proposition of England.

Den-mailt seem6, so far as wo can judgoof its inclinations, to wish to demand as a preliminary to any negooiation tho establishment of a truce and it is to be feared that that country may Bee in the refusal of an armistice an intention on the part of the German powers to persist in tho destruction of its army in order to aggravate the conditions of peace. Oa the other hand, the Germanic Confederation is placed in a position which differs from that of Austria and Prussia. The Diet has not concurred in the Treaty of London, and did not admit its validity. It is at this very moment iu possession of a report of its committees which presents conclusions opposed to the integrity of tho Danish monarchy. It is, then, diffioult now to jud.o whether the proposition of the English Government will bo accepted at Copenhagen and at Frankfort.

As for ourselves, sir, we have not hitherto been iu a position to pronounce ourselves. The Euglish cabinet will not address itself to the neutral powers until it has obtained tho acquiescence of the belligerents. We have not, then, associated ourselves with its measures, as rumour has Btated, but we saw this war burst forth with regret and, faithful to tho principles which guide us, we shall be happy to Becond all efforts which may be made to hasten its tenniuaMo'-i. If tho adhesions which the Government of Her Britannic Majesty seeks, permit it to acquaint us with the proposition of which we have received notice, "8 shall be found ready to participate in every serious attempt at paoificatiou. Pveceive, (Signed) Drouyn de Lhuys.

THE PROCUREUR-IMPERIAL AND M. MAZZINL M. Mazzini has addressed the following letter to the editortf the Times Sir, My attention has been called to an article in your paper of this day, in whioh, referring to the statement of the Procureur-impcrial on the Greoo trial, you imply that something further is needed in order to clear the oharacter of Br. Stausfeld from the imputations made upon him by that functionary of tho Imperial Government. ThoBe imputations were contained in a speech totally unsupported by legal evidence and I should have thought that Mr.

Stansfeld's charaoter and general denuu in the House of Commons would have satisfied any fair-judging person of tho untruth of such charges'. But if my testimony might be decisive of the question, I oannot withhold it from one whoBe friendship I highly value, and who has auction so generously of me in an assembly where his doing so might expose hirn to some inoonveuieuce and liusmterpre- tation. I have thereforo to request of you the insertion of this The' two assertions of the Prooureiir-Imperial, as quoted in rsctinto by you, are That Greco was to write to the address, Mr. Flower, 35, Thurloe-Equare, Brampton," if he was in want of money. That Mi-.

Suuikfeltl had been in 1857 appointed to be the banker of a Tibuldi Conspiracy Fund. It is true that at variouB times, owing to letters addressed to my name being stopped or tampered with by Continental policy, I have asked my English friends, and among them Mr. Stansfeld, to receive them for me, the Alva Branch included.
