The jury were unanimously of opinion that they should view the scene of the accident , and to afford themselves time to do so adjourned the inquiry . The case of Dr . Hunter against the Pall Mall Gazelle occupied the Court of Queen's Bene h again the whole of the 2 Sth ult ., and had not concluded when the court rose . For the plaintiff several

witnesses were called , including gentlemen who had been patients of the doctor , and who stated that they had benefitted by his treatment . Mr .

Justice Mellor decided to take heavy bail , and ou the sureties forthcoming he was released . Pvevelations of a most extraordinary character respecting silk robberies which have just been discovered were made before the

Marlborough-street police magistrate , on the 2 Sth ult . Three individuals , described respectively ns a commission agent , a dealer , ancl a manager of a public-house , ivere accused of being concerned in stealing from the warehouses of Messrs . Taylor and Stokes , silk merchants , of Friday-street , City , a quantity of silks , valued at above £ 200 . The principal , indeed the only ,

witness against the accused was a young man named George Morrell , who was employed in the firm . This young person ' s account of himself and of the manner in which he had been in the habit of serving his employers is certainly somewhat remarkable . He admitted having been wigaged in wholesale robberies of silks from his employer . , and stated that he used to find ready purchasers in tiie accused persons , but at very low

prices . He calculated that within tiie last four months lie had stolen altogether from twelve to twenty dozen satins , worth about £ G 0 , and twenty-eight or thirty moire antique dresses , valued at £ 7 or £ 8 each ; in all about £ 270 worth of property , and that lie had received only about £ 50 for the whole lot .

£ 7 for twenty shillings . It appearing that the prosecutors had not yet had time to ascertain the actual amount of their losses , the accused parties were remanded and bail refused .

will be one of great importance . The Moniteur is still silent as to Mexico . JSo official information is vouchsafed to the people of France , and as a consequence the wildest rumours are afloat . One thing , however , is certain , and , we believe , rightly —that U , that Maximilian has taken his departure from Mexico . The telegraph brings us a genuine novelty . Egypt has got a Parliament , and we are told that it was opened

by the Viceroy in person . AA'hrit would Omar , or for the matter of that , Mahomet , say to such a thing ? The Greek Minister at Constantinople has demanded that the Greek soldiers who have been captured in Candia should be given up to him ; but the Turks refuse . Ismail Pacha , who exhibited , for a Turk , extraordinary energy in conducting

military operations against the insurgents , was killed in tiie last engagement . The Russians are steadily advancing in Central Asia , the last stronghold of the Emir of Bokarah having been captured by assault . If ive may judge from a Pcsth telegram , the Emperor of Austria has now an opportunity of showing that he really does desire complete reconciliation with Hungary . There has been a conference of members of the Hungarian Diet

at the house of M . Doak , at which the course to be taken m reference to the Royal Rescript was considered . M . Deak thought that , from the continuity of rights view , the Rescript was a most hopeful document , and he moved an address to the King , praying that the laws of ISIS might be re-established , and promising to consider the wishes expressed by the King . The address was adopted . It now remains to he

seen how Francis Joseph will receive this address . If he be wise he will accede to its prayer . The Prussian Government is going to put an end to all trimming on the part of officers , who hold commissions in the late Hanoverian army . Before 1 st of January they are to apply to the ex-King to be released from their oath of allegiance , ancl make application either for

pensions or places in the Prussian army . If they fail to do this then their pay will be cut off . A Roman telegram states that negotiations will shortly be opened between the Papal Government and that of Italy in reference to the appointment of bishops to sees vacant in Italy . Once negotiations are fairly begun they will extend to much more than the question in reference to which they were commenced . It is more than likely that even vet his Holiness will see how advisable it will be for

him to stand well with Italy . Several reports have been circulated to the effect that France will go back from the execution of tiie convention . There does not seem to be a shadow of ground for this gossip . All accounts tend to show that very great uneasiness exists in the DanubUui Principalities . It is impossible to read the telegrams which come to hand without

feeling that the seeds of a very serious difficulty for Turkey are germinating there . A Petersburg paper gives forth some enigmatical utterances on the subject . Greece , too , seems to be not unlikely to get into a war with Turkey in reference to the Candian business . It seems that the insurrection there is not yet subdued . There is some news of interest from China and Japan . The death of tho Tycoon is confirmed , and the civil

war has terminated , not in the subjugation of Prince Choisu , the principal insurgent , but in the concession to him of all his demands , which included tho undisputed command of the Straits of Sinionosaki .
