SWEDEN . 1 A letter from Stockholm , of the 8 th , states that there had Deoeen , for three successive evenings , tumultuous assemblages in ; hdie streets of that city , which had , however , been effectually ) Uhut down by the police .

ITALY . . •? iediiojst . — -In consequence of the suppression of the Patriate SSwoisien , a new democratic journal has been issued , under the Nonveau- Patriate Savoisien , which thus announces its - » pearance : " The violent death of the Patriate some days * -. * -. ftce , left a void in the ranks of the democratic press , wwMch it is the duty of the democrats of our country ffill as soon as possible . The new journal has been f founded by the democrats of Savoy to immediately field oi honour
; aplace that valiant soldier , who died on the , ppierced with the bullets of the men of the party order . The 3 sausketof the brave Patriate having fallen from his hands during LiLhe combat ; the new journal will take it up and take her place j jn the field of battle . It is the duty of the Savoy democracy to i indow it with a robust constitution . To conquer or die for the I liberty of all , for the sovereignty of the individual and of the j people , for the equality of social conditions , for the equality of iiali in education and labour , should be the thought of every
( democrat at this supreme moment . Having individual union , < or no victory i But union on the ground of principles only ; s such is the sine qua non of the safety of liberality . "
The N A T I Onal L An D S Ch Eme. • The ...
THE N A T I ONAL L AN D S CH EME . The inquiry directed by the Court of Chancery under the act of parliament for winding up and disposing of the estates of this company , has terminated so far as regards the first estate located under the title of 0 'Connorvilie . The proceedings were directed to the purpose of fixing the future rents to be paid by the allottees in possession , who had established their titles , and with the view also of assessing the aggregate value of tlie estate for public auction . The result of the inquiry on this point is important , involving as it does the material question , as to whether the present class of occupants can remain upon
the soil , and so still continue to concentrate themselves upon the settlement , or whether they will have to make way for a different class of persons . The valuations made by Mr . Woodthorpe , surveyor , for Mr . Goodchap , the official manager , assisted by Mr . Roxburgh , assessor , and Mr . J . Tucker , his solictor , were upon the principle defined by the act of parliament , which directs that the allottees shall be
entitled to their respective allotments , subject to the paymenb to the company and their assigns of a perpetual tee farm rent-charge for the allotment , to be fixed by the official manager , and calculated according to the actual value of the allotment for occupation at the time of fixing the rent Proceeding on this principle the two-acre allotments were valued at a rent of M 12 s . ; thethree-acre-allotmentsof £ 9 5 s . ; and the four-acre allotments at from £ 1010 s . to £ 11 10 s . The valuations made
by Mr . Roche and Mr . Caffall , on behalf of the allottees , were respectively £ 4 12 s . for the two-acre allotments ; £ 6 13 s . for the three-acre allotments ; and £ 8 4 s . to £ 9 2 s . for the four-acre allotments . Several of the allottees were examined on the subject , and in their evidence stated as the result of three or four years' experiment , that no one could cultivate a two-acre allotment and pay more than £ 2 per acre ; that it would be impossible to pay the rent intended to he imposed , and that when the rent-charges of £ Q 12 s . came to be sold in the market they would not realise
£ 4 It was contended on behalf of the allottees , that the value assessable in respect of occupation depended not on the fertility of the land only , but upon its particular situation ; and , in the present case , the estate was situated at a distance from any market town , and in an altogether isolated district , and there was no source independent of the land , of an indifferent quality in itself , from which the occupants would receive benefit or profit , neither was there any demand on the neighbouring farms fbr their services . This being the case , the value , it was argued , for occupation should be determined by ascertaining if the produce of the land , after maintaining the labour necessary for prodncing and
bringing it to market , yielded any and what profit to the cultivator , on the principle propounded by Adam Smith , " that rent , considered as the price paid for the use of land , is naturally the highest the tenant can afford to pay in the actual circumstances of the land . " The experience derived from the experimental working of the O'Connorville system of land labour and allotments went to show that the produce of the land , after maintaining the labour for bringing it to market , yielding little or no profit , and that the land did not produce a greater quantity of food than was sufficient to maintain the labour necessary for bringing it to market , and that even if there is any surplus it is not more than sufficient to eplace the the stock employed in the labour .
After considerable discussion , the official manager and assessor fixed the future rents payable at the valuation of their assessor , with permission to the parties to appeal . In dealing with the question of " back rent , ' - ' as it is termed—that is to say , rent not paid by the present occupiers , considerable allowances , tantamount almost to a remittance of the rents in several cases , were made . Had the back rents been enforced , it was not thought probable they would be paid and , the only alternative would have been the ejectment of the defaulters .
Fatal Accident . — lesteraay morning at an early hour , the following fearful accident happened in the Broadway , Hammersmith . A young mam ; . named Charles Bern , a carter to Mr . Jones , the market gardener , of Ealing-lane , Brentford , was sent by his master with a load of vegetables for Farringdonmarket , but on reaching the above-named thoroughfare he stumbled against something , and fell in front of the vehicle , and before the horses could be stopped , the wheels of the heavily-laden waggon passed over the unfortunate man ' s body . He was immediately conveyed to St . George ' s Hospital , where deatii soon pat an end to his sufferings .
The N A T I Onal L An D S Ch Eme. • The ...
Brutal Attack , —At Worship-street police-court yesterday , a young fellow , named William Hollo way , was sentenced to a fine of £ 5 , or two months in the House of Correction , for having assaulted and seriously injured a young woman , named Jane Tanner , residing with her mother , in lvy ^ street , Hoxton . —From the statement of the complainant , a delicate looking yoxmg person , whose face was shockingly disfigured , and who was in such'a state of debility and suffering that she was allowed to be-seated while giving her evidence , ic appeared that she had been acquainted with the prisoner for the last twelve
months , aud had been accepted as her suitor . Since he had succeeded in gaining her affections , however , she was grieved to find that she had been entirely mistaken in his character , and that he was addicted to . the most . dissolute and drunken courses , for the indulgence of Avhich he was repeatedly in the habit of extorting money from her , and subjecting her to gross personal ill-treatment if she was unable to comply with his demands . On a recent occasion , when she declined to submit
to such an exaction , he made an unmerciful attack upon her , in the course ofwhichhe knocked out two of her teeth , but having subsequently expressed contrition for his conduct , she not only refrained from disclosing his brutality to her friends , but freely forgave him on receiving his promise that it should never again be repeated . On the evening of Tuesday last , after taking a walk together , she was taking leave of him at her mother ' s door , when the prisoner abruptly intimated that he was again greatly in want of money , and expected that she would be able to accommodate him with what he required .
On telling him that it was utterly impossible as she had not a farthing in her possession , he instantly struck her a violent blow in the face , which blackened both her eyes as they now appeared . Before she had time to escape from liim , the prisoner dealt her another blow under the ear which felled her to the ground . She succeeded at length in retreating into the house , and communicated what had taken place to her mother , who at
once brought her to this court , and obtained a warrant for his apprehension . The complainant ' s mother , a respectable-looking widow , stated that , in consequence of the brutal ill-treatment she had sustained at the hands of the prisoner , her daughter had been ever since under the care of a surgeon , and she was also shocked to find that he had taken a base advantage of the poor girl's affection , to accomplish her ruin , and that she was now in an advanced state of pregnancy .
Pkofligac y in the Adelphi Arches . —Yesterday afternoon , Mr . Langham , the deputy coroner for Westminster , held an inquest at St . Martin ' s Workhouse , on the body of Mary Ann Palmer , a girl fifteen years of age , who for some time past has been leading a life of profligacy in the dark arches of the Adelphi , from the pestilential atmosphere of which she had not emerged during the last five months , until discovered by a policeman , in the last stage of destitution and disease . Sarah Cunningham , aged eighteen , residing in . Charles-street , Drury-iane , said she first met deceased at the . Victoria Theatre , about
five months ago , and finding her Without a lodging , took her home for the night . Since that time they had both led a life of prostitution in the dark arches of the Adelphi . Witness went to the arches every morning at half-past eight , and left at nine o'clock at night , but deceased had never left the arches day or night for the last five months . Many other girls , whose clothes were too bad to allow them to walk the streets , had recourse to the arches for the same purposes as witness and decased . They were in the habit of accosting the passengers by the halfpenny boat . —J . Selly , policeman , F 127 , said he found deceased on the 5 th inst ., in a state of utter helplessness in the arches . She was too weak to walk , and he took her to St .
Martin ' s Workhouse , where she died on Wednesday last . The Adelphi arches w . re harbours for the young and mst wretched prostitutes of the metropolis , and from their extent and complicated character , they completely baffled the exertions of the police . Under the arches there were several sets of stables , and the men in charge of them allowed the girls to conceal themselves there when the police pursued them . —Mr . Josdiua Atkins , who attended deceased at the workhouse , said he found her suffering from a loathsome disease ; her body was a mass of ulcerations , and her chest was affected . Death resulted from
dropsy on the chest , occasioned by starvation and neglect . — The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the testimony . At the request of the coroner , the Master of St . Martin ' s Workhouse took charge of the witness Sarah Cunningham , who said she would do anything which would be the means of relieving her from the degrading course of life she had been pursuing . Serious Accident . —Biustol , Sept . 17 . —This morning an accident of a very serious nature occurred at the entrance of the Cumberland-basin at the large cassoon dock . It appears that , the other dock being under repair , all vessels are obliged to
enter the large gates . About half-past ten o ' clock this morning , after the entry of the varieus steam-packets and vessels , the men were engaged in unloosing the gates , when suddenly the lower eye of the hinge broke , the consequence of which was that the immense weight of the gate ( between 90 and 100 tons ) was thrown upon the pin or shaft , which broke in two , and this was followed by the breaking of the upper part ; the gate consequently fell down , and completely blocked up the whole of the entrance of the docks . Mr . Green , the dock-master , happened to be on the spot at the time , and took immediate
measures to prevent further danger . Sudden Death at tub London-bridge Railway Terminus . —On Thursday , upon the arrival of the 11 . 30 a . m . Dover train at the London-bridge terminus , amongst the passengers were a mother and daughter , the latter supported by her mother in a weak sinking state to a bench in the station , where , after sitting a very short time , she fell apparently in a swoon . Everyone present hastened to the poor girl's assistance , but it was soon
evident that the hand of death was upon her , and ere many minutes elapsed , she expired . The mother stated that deceased and herself had been hop-picking in Kent , at which deceased , who was labouring under consumption , continued until her strength totally failed her , when she ( the mother ) hastened up to London with her daughter , in the hope of obtaining medical aid for her . The spectators , who were deeply affected by the scene , raised a subscription that enabled the mother to convey her dead child to her residence in Bermondsey .
Meeting of Parliament . —The new parliament will meet for public business on Thursday , the 11 th of November . —Standard . Father Gavazzi is at present delivering his orations against the papacy throughout the north of Scotland . —North British Mail . Baron von Humbolt celebrated his 83 rd birth-day , at Berlin , on the ; 14 th , by giving a feast to . his friends and admirers . The " Nestor of . Science" is in excellent health , and is engaged daily for some hours on a fourth volume of the "Cosmos "
