      "STAB OF FREEDOM" OFFICE , Saturday Morning , 12 o'Clock . FKANCK . [ by electric telegraph . ] PAlilS , Friday . In the last telegraphic despatch , dated Nevers , yesterday afternoon , the Prefect states that he had left the President at noon , three leagues from Montino . The cries were " Vive l'Empereiir . "

      SWEDEN . A letter from Stockholm , of the 8 th , states that there had been , for three successive evenings , tumultuous assemblages in the streets of that city , which had , however , been effectually put down by the police . They were caused by an article in the journal entitled The Voice of the People , exciting the populace against the Jews . Several persons were arrested , and amongst them the editor of the journal in question .

      ITALY . Piedmont . —In consequence of the suppression of the Patriote Savoisien , a new democratic journal has been issued , under the title of Nonveau Patriote Savoisien , which thus announces its appearance : " The violent death of the Patriote some days since , left a void in the ranks of the democratic press , which it is the duty of the democrats of our country to fill as soon as possible . The new journal has been founded by the democrats of Savoy to immediately replace that valiant soldier , who died on the field of honour

      pierced with the bullets of the men of the party order . The musket of the brave Patriote having fallen from his hands during the combat ; the new journal will take it up and take her place on the field of battle . It is the . duty of the Savoy democracy to endow it with a robust constitution . To conquer or die for the liberty of all , for the sovereignty of the individual and of the people , for the equality of social conditions , for the equality of all in education and labour , should be the thought of every democrat at this supreme moment . Having individual union , or no victory ! But union on the ground of principles only ; such is the sine qua non of the safety of liberality . " THE NATIONAL LAND SCHEME .

      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 O'Connorville . 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 the 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 actof parliament , which directs that the allottees shall be entitled to their respective allotments , subject to the payment to the company and their assigns of a perpetual fee 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 tins principle the two-acre allotments were valued at a rent of

      £ 6 12 s . ; the three-acre-iillotments of £ 9 5 s . ; and the four-acre allotments at from £ 1010 s . to £ 11 10 s . The valuations made by Mr . Boche 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 £ 92 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 be imposed , and that when the rent-charges of £ 6 12 s . came to be sold in the market they would not realise £ i . It was contended on behalf of the allottees , that the value assessable in respect of occupation depeuded 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 landot

      , an indifferent quality in itself , from which the occupants would receive benefit or profit , neither was there any demand on the neighbouring farms for their services . This bang 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 m 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 it there is any surplus it is not more than sufficient to eplace the the stock employed in the labour

      Aftei considerable discussion , the official manager and ~ « S £ f uture rents payable at the valuation ^ their assessor , with permission to the parties to appeal . In dealine with the question of "back rent , " as it is termed-thaft to say , rent not paid by the present occupiers , considerable almvances , tantamount almost to a remittance of the rents in seveml cases were made Had the back rents been enforced Tt wa not though pobabe they would be paid and , the only alternative would have been the ejectment of the defaulters Fatal Accident

      . - ! esterday morning at an early hour , the following fearful accident happened in the Broadway , Hammer smith . A young man , 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 FarriiWonmarket , but on reaching the above-named thoroiHifare he stumbled against something , and fell in front of the vehicle and before the horses could be stopped , the wheels of the fceavily-kden waggon passed over the unfortunate man ' s forty He was immediately conveyed to St . George ' s Hospital , when death soon put an end to his sufferings .

      Brutal Attack . —At Worship-street police-court yesterday , a young fellow , named William Holloway , 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 Ivy-street , Hoxton . —From the statement of the complainant , a delicate looking young person , whose face was shockingly disfigured , and who

      was m such a state of debility and suffering that she was allowed to be seated while giving her evidence , it appeared that she had been acquainted with the prisoner for the last twelve months , and had been accepted as her suitor . Since lie 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 which 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 witli 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 of which he knocked out two of her teeth , but having subsequently expressed contrition for Ms 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 t ' hat he was again greatly in want of money , and expected that she would be able to accommodate him with what lie 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 him , 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 . Pkofligacy in the Adelphl 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 uf profligacy in the dark arches of the Adelphi , iroin 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 . Savaii Cunningham , aged eighteen , residing in Charles-street , Drury-lane , 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

      lite of prostitution in the dark arches of the Adelphi . Witness Avent to the arches every morning at halt-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 allo . v them to walk the streets , had recourse to the arches for the same purposes as witness and dec ased . They w ere in the liabi t of accostin g the passengers by the halfpenny boat . —J , belly , 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 . Joshua Atkins who attended deceased at the workhouse , sa . id lm fmmrl L * . ,,+ 1 ' who attended deceased at the workhousesaid he found her suf

      , , - fering from a loathsome disease ; her body was a mass of liberations , 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 . —Bmstol , 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 thismominoafter the entry of the various 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 oi the entrance of the docks . Mr . Green , the dock-master , happened to lie on the spot at the time , and took immediate measures to prevent further danger .

      Sudden Death at the 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 sittimr a very short time , she fell apparently m 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 mi mites 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 . Hie spectators , who were deeply affected by the scene , raised a subscription that enabled the mother to convcv her dead child to her residence in Bermondsey .
