cot BUOL AND PIEDMONT. The fuhuvring is the concluding portion of Signor Parini, let!yr to lord John Russell ; the earlier part is referred to in our leading article columns: '• Having thus illustrated that part of Coast Bnol's despatch w hich stems to me most worthy of the &Motion of diplomatists, as it refers to the maxims of public law. I will make a few remarks upon the long ehnpter in which the Count goes on preach ing against Piedmont in the style of a gazetteer. .• R. winding us of the iDTlllion of Piedmont inlll2l, and deploring that Count Cavour should have brosght medera theories into vogue, the Emperoe'e min.-ter intimates, with an ingenuousness which is rare among diplomatists, of what kind are the err vices which the Court of Vienna in its generosity would still lie incleued to do for us. Kshit,iting auger and displeasure that the Sar dinian government should speak in the name of Italy, Count If abuses England and France, which ettgnised iu the plenipotentiaries of Victor Emmanuel the right to speak of Italy in en Europ ean Congress. " Vietui Emmanuel is an Italian king of a state which is .qual in size with that which the Emperor of Aosta' possesses so ill in Italy. The Emperor of Austria not tieing enabled to speak or to operate in Italy otherwise than in his capacity of King of the Lombardo-Venetian territory, he has no greater au thority than that of the King of Sardinia. Victor Emmanuel sits upon a throne which is bright with the g'ory of eight centuries, and he reigns with (lie ins:lindens over a contented people. The Emperor of Austria has no throne and no roecrantent in Italy he has had an encampment there but for 44 years pest. The Italian Ktng of Sardinia has sealed with his soldiers' blood in the Crimea his ancient right to speak in the came of the indepe edemee and liberty of Italy; nor can this ins prescriptible right of his be contested by . the Asetrien Ki, g of the Lombardo-Venetian territory. The arrogates and the pretensions of the Holy Roman Empire are quite beside the question; and the incorimeation of the Lombardo-Venetian king dom with the Austrian empire Is foreign to the question of right. " While ha disputes to Count Omar the right of speeking of Italy, Count fool arrogates to himself that of speaking in the name of all the Italian sove reigns, suiting 'that the Ming= which Count Ca , our ascribes to himself is loudly disclaimed by all the other Italian monarchs.' If all the other Italian monsio•hs hate really given the minister of Austria a commit-.on to protest, let hint show the conven tion, and w.: shall have a fresh proof of their vas solar. But perhaps this is • boast of his, sins none of the sovereigns has made loud protads tiou, and I would lay a wager that noes of them dots now make any. The envoy of the Grand Duke of Tuscany is here, and makes no sign; the envoy of the King of Naples is here, and when King Victor Emmanuel speaks of the sufferings of Italy, be doss rot stir--vines nothing comes from Naples bat exclanistices of joy' " The Auitrian minister complains of our 'licen tious reel: But why does he not complain of the English prom, which has so many times uttered so mach vituperation of Austria, of her ministers, of the mar-hs.., of the Emperor, and of his mother? The liberty of writing for the press is a constitu tional right of ours, and only the jag's, not the soinistvre, eon deal with the excesses of its licence. 11... i. vile , would clear himself from the accu sation tai having demanded that the rieelmonteee govern:nent should make alterations in the intake twos of the state. confirms the accusation by confirm ing that lie nos demanded guarantees for themes.' And then c , tifeseing that he afterwards brob of diplomatic r ietiont because the Piedniontese govern ment woe not compliant, he shows all the world how Auetrii wanted, be a solemn demonstration of her ors. h. to do violence to the free government of ea independent state. The court of Vienna perhaps hoped that the Piedmont.** ministers would hare given .t the charge to re-establish by degrees en ord.. r and a quiet of its own sort in Piedmont. For,if we are to believe him, the cause of all the wow of its:y consists in this, our liberty; and Count Boot is so tits in this persuasion, and so sincere in wapreasing it, that he invites the powers to ' dry up the fountain of the evil ' —that is, to do roughly wart Angulo wield have wished to do more gently. " Tae Mien of the danger, therefore, my Lord, as some days age I bad the honour to tell you, is ha the liberty whist, having, thank God, taken root in l'admont. cannot be supported by Austria. It is these:ear, fronting testimony of the Austrian CAI e-t its..f, that the question of our liberty is identified with the Italian question, and that the perils to peace prueeed from the in. incible repugnance of the Austrian .:stem to the liberal and national system of Piedmont. " Count 800 l says, as it were pleasantly, that,' for half a century put, Italy has been abandoned to every sort of political experiment. and that the most *ppm!, systems were in turn put in practice.' But either he does not speak his mind, or he would per vert history to a fab'e, seeing that for forty-five yes past no other lasting experiment has been tried inltaly then that of the Austrian system. A real ex periment of liberty has not been tried except in Pied mont for the last ten years. The court of Vienna has laver el.enged its system. lam mistaken ; it has pertly et.onged it; it has put on a clerical attire. For the rest, if the Austrian molester wishes to abide by the experiment of the most: to sys tems' tried is the last ten years, we willingly take his a* his word, and rely fully ohs the judgment of the FAIT opinion of England. We ask whether the k'n,rdons of Sardinia is store quiet and orderly. or those of the Two Sicilies and the Papal States? We a.k which are the best satisfied, the Lombards and Venetian', the Parmesans, the Modenese, or the Madwomen.? :tut, retort' the controrenial minister, the other Italian peoples are not quiet, because the Pi.. dmontne do not keep quiet ; it is necessary to ' dry up the sown' of the complaints and uneasiness. Thanks be to him for this sincerity, which will, I am certain, my Lin!, tern to his advantage in the public opinion or your country' "It ii trts that the minister, finding himself a little emberreseed with respect to England, in condemning on principle free institution., brings forward again the widest:es that 'certain institutions do not appear eorizeniel to the genies, the traditions. and the social condition of the Italians.' The Count perhaps does not know that all the Itzlian traditions are those of liberty, and that the social condition of the Italians is mach more suited .iherty and civil equali'y than theta( many other peoples. When Austria had never allowed the ex net anent of free institutions to be tried in Italy •he might possibly with a good face have sought to find as excuse for her tyranny in the dis position of the Italian peoples, in the situation of the tates, or in the temperature of the climate; but this doetr.ce of old almanacs cannot obtain credit in Europe since the excellent experiment of Pied montsre liberty has been tried. I read that the cane' been witnewi that 'certain institutions work admirably well where they have been developed and matured for ages.' But he really does not perceive that whilst he aims at flattering England, he ie offending common sense; for if it be certain that free institutions become admirable by enduring for centuries, it follows that they should be allowed to live, and not be strangled at their birth. The centuries in which elsewhere they had their develop ment and maturity surely had • beginning; and if I England. for instance, at the beginning o f h er ex perience, had met in the path of liberty an Austria, which desired and was able to' dry up the source of:the evil,' at the prevent day the minister of the Emperor Francis Joseph would not have hesitated to pronounce that free institutions are not adapted either to the genius, or to the traditions, or to the social nonditimi of the English people. It need not be remarked that the English people did not acquire them, lute not maintained them, and has not de veloped them without difficulties and troubles. le it iodise, my lord, that, disaniseing the C 11601211 historical and political theories of the Austrian mini ster, I should dwell a little on the accusations he brirge against the Piedmont/se government, saying that it provokes war. " The King, on opening parliament, said that a he respected treaties, but was not iaseasible to the griefs of the Italians: This is a greet fault; he has offended Austria by speaking the truth ; he hos THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 24, 1859. rtt. mitd public aw by compassion for the bunt ring. Are the populations of Italy, then, tranquil and sat isfitd ? If they were so, my lord, they would not emigrate by thousands and thousands, to come and enlist themselves as moldier* of the King under the Italian banner. If we could believe Count Buol, the Lombardo-Venetians are contented; but Austria had doubled her army some time before the King of Piedmont called an additional soldier under arms. The other populations near us are contented ; but, at this moment, the bad governments are letting them selves be carried away by the fearful Hood of popular indignation and of public contempt. If all the Italians are tranquil and contented who live outside the little state of the King of Sardinia, why do so many armies pour down into Italy ? These armies are brought here either to keep quiet the people who murmur, or else to threaten and invade Piedmont, which rasa her proper right. " With regard to war, I, having no need to study any of the over-refined considerations of diplomacy, will frankly repeat that without speaking of the motives for war which Piedmont might have on account of the balance of the Italian States, and from the fault of the Austrian usurpations, if Pied mont wished for war, she would, without seeking for pretexts, have special motives, jut and serious, of her own. . . " The sequestration which, some years ago, Austria iniquitously pnt on the property of so many respect able subjects of the King—was it not a just and serious cause for war ? And is it not so still, since no full reparation has ever been made? And is it not a cause for war that Austria, in violation of the treaties, cot only encircles Piacenza with fortremes, but augments there every day her menacing troops " I know very well that there are some who keep whispering, ' You are little ; bear in patience the injuries of the great.' Eut I have this faith, my Lord, that it will not be free and noble England who will recommend Co us for ever nothing but patience and resignstien. "Accept, my bird, my sincere gratitude and respect. " LUIGI CARLO FARINI. " Turin, Mara 17. e OFFER OP A NEW SOVEREIGNTY TO THE QUEEN. It appears that anew sovereignty is offered to her Britannic Majesty—viz., that of the Feejee (orFiji) Islands—and by the King, who is uneasy under a 1 fine of 9,0001. fastened upon hum oy an American , commander. The proffered treaty conveying the sovereignty tothe Queen of Great Britain has been brought home by Mr. Pritchard, her Majesty's Con sul in Perjee. To meet the want of the moment, a little pamphlet—entitled " What is Fiji "—has just been tailed. The Feejee Wanda are a group num bering 211, of which 80 are inhabited. The largest is about 380 miles in circumference, and the next about 3410. They spread over about 40,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean, directly on the track between Australia and Panama and British Colum bia. Almost every island has a harbour ; many of these are capacious enough for a whole navy. Feejes is 1,500 miles from Sydney, and about 1,000 from New Zealand. The group is the key and centre i of Polynesia. Between t and our colonies lies the large French island of New Caledonia, on the same side the New Hebrides. and on the other side, to its north and east, stretch the Navigators', Friendly, and Society Isles. The area of the two large islands is computed at about equal to that of Belgium, 11,000 square miles ; and of the whole group about equal to that of Holland, above 13,000. The climate is described as not unlike that of Ceylon. The pro ductions are diseraifiedjand ricb. At least fifty or sixty thousand of the natives have become Chris tians. The pamphlet remarks : "Ifwe do not take them (the islands) either France or America will. If America do, our route to Panama is in her hands ; and also that between Australasia and British Co lumbia. Oar Australian coasts and commerce could be hemmed by a few 'bpi, which would elude even great lints in the innumerable harbours of Fiji. If France take it, with New Caledonia on the one aide and Tahiti on the other, she will hare a line of posts right across our track." Samples of cotton grown in these islands have been transmitted by Lord Malmesbury to the Committee or the Manchester Cotton Supply Association. who value them at from 7(1. to 12d. per lb. To-day a numerous deputation, including Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Mr. Bailey, M.P., Sir Andrew Agnew, N:c., will wait upon Lord Malmeabury to urge the accep , tans of the new sovereignty by the British crown.

The inquiry ordered by the Board of Trade into the aircumstsnces etteadtng the &oddest to the Prince Frederick William mail packet, off War, on the morning of the 27th ult., in tflussiti , a with which catastrophe ttr lives of three persons were lost, was opened at the Custom house, Dover, this morning, before the Mayor and two other borough nisgistrtee, viz., Captain Noble and L. Stride, Esq, Mr. Comt Mead, from the office of the solicitor to the Customs, attended to conduct the investigation on behalf of the Beard of Trade, in accordance with the proriaiorui of the Merchant Shipping Act. Captain Barris wee appointed by the reasis!retee so nautical amerce ; and Mr. J. 0. Chan twiud represented the owners of the Prince Frederick William. - The inquiry having Leen adjourned to the New Sessions Howe for greater convenience, Mr. Cumberland detailed the circumstances under which the accident srose, and then proceeded to a alt evidence. The first witness examined was Mr. Jam-8 John Ferret, the 'neater of the Prince Fr &rick William. ile was in the employ of the Royal Mail Stereo Packet Company, and bald a certificate of compot..tey. On th e 26th February he was in command of too Prince Frederick William, which left Dover on that night at about 20 minutes to 12 having on board the Indian mails and the ordinary French ' mails for convey ance to Calais, end 37 pageangers. The crew conelsted of 16 men. He had every reason to believe the vessel in good enter, both as regards her hull and her engines. When be left that poet the wind was west, strong, and cloudy, end it wee a dark night. About half an hour after leaving the wind changed to W.N.W., continuing to blow strong, which state of weather continue d until arriving off Cabes. On nearing Cols= he saw the re volving light and the ordinary lights of than town. He also saw the eel light on the west pier. TM tral light, which wee green, was on the east pier heed. The green light is need as a signal light for the mail packets only to enter the harbour, and this light was risible from ten to fifteen minutes before making for the harbour. On that night this light would have been =elute four or five miles off. On seeing these three lights, he made straight fur the mouth of the harbour. There was a' good deal of see on the but. The wind continued W.N.W., and was blowing very terms, and the sea was necessarily rough. The sea wee not runnier into the harbour bat ethernet It. When halts mile o ff the piers he reined the vessel to half speed, and he continued at this rate until he band her getting Into amllow water, when about her length from the pier, but she shortly &larder& "dragged" the ground, did not answer the helm, and was carried on to the seat pier, the port paddle abed becoming disabled. Before striking the pier be or dered the eerie= to be stopped, but after she struck she rebounded, end he then entered the engines to go *head, with the view of entering the harbour. The engines could not Le moved, and in consequence ef the tide, wind, sad an, the vend we, driven out of the har bour to the eastward of the test pier, and went ashore. The chief mate wee at the helm. The vessel remained shifting About upon the sand after she =nick for shout two hours and a half before any boats came off two the shore. During this period some of the passengers were on deck and some below. He tent one of the quarter boats on shore about thirty-five inioutes alter the venial emended. The trend mate end two bands had charge of the boat, and It oarried six passengers, who reached the shore in safety. He bad no other boats at his disposal; the life-brat Long stove in and washed away by the eve when the rasa ran @shore. The lifeboat wee carried jest abaft the = zee. No other person left the vessel between the of the quart,: boat and the arrival of the boat from the shore. Some of the measurers wanted to jump overboard, but he would not allow them. At the ex =ranee of two hours and a half the Calais lifeboat (one of Mr. Pinkest .-rue off. She was towed out of the harbour by the Ondine mail-packet, and dropped alongside the vessel on her starboard side, sod the passengers were raked a they would go on shore. In consequence of the invitation to get into the lifeboat eight of the peseeng.es went into it, assisted by the craw. The passengers were in no way compelled to enter the boat, bat were waisted In consequence of the berry sea rendering it difficult to enter the boat from the steamer s side. The boat MN still fast alongside ;the etesmer when it capsized immediately after the last of the 8 passengers got in. Did at know to what to attribute the overtaraing of the life boat. It could not hare been from overloading, as the lifeboat was 30 feet long. Everybody in the boat wee precipitated Into the water. Five wen hauled on beard the vessel, and life buoy', cork 'fend's; and other things wore thrown from the Yuma. It was too dark to age whether the rest reached the shore, but he saw none of those who von struggling in the wane disappear. After this occurrence the crew were en in getting up the melle from the tote cabin, and the rug.ga. At this time then erase about seven fee of water in the second compartment of the vessel. At half-past eleven the tide had ebbed, and the reessinder of the crew walked on shore. The mails were ccareyed en atone at the same time. In reply to quedons, the witness said he did not apprehend any danger, or he would not have allowed the passengers to have enured the lifeboat. He advised than not to eater the beat, ce.. they would be able to walk ashore if they waited. When he sent sway his small boat there was couiderable couture° among the wringers, and several wished to jump or, rheard, but he prevented them, and would not allow the 0011 t 1., take more than six. He ateibuted the non return of the Len to the altered petition of the veesel, which wee elenel it to ea less eff.etively on a breakwater. He attri buted the original writing of the vessel to an incorrect allow ' awe for the *ea by the pilot on the pier. He attributed the exhibition of the green light to the fact that the pilot thought there was sulicieet water. Mr. William Thosesett, Acting Brit;sti Consul at Calais, was next examined. He satd two hairs were recopied in getting the lifeboat launched, notwithstanding the assis tant of the crews of several vessels was obtained. He attributed the delay in getting It out to the time consumed, owing to the length of the harbour, is collecting people to Oct it out Hs requested the hare boar master, who by this time wee present, to man it with Englishmen. He objected to do to. The craw was composed of the deputy harbour miner, two French pilot., and two French and four English sailor,. The tiller and rudder were left on shore, and the boat was stewed by means of an oar, used by the deputy harbour master. On arriving at the month of the harbour the life-boat was out off by the steamer. The best was then about a hundred rude from the Prince Frederick William. It at first mimed the vessel and west cn 'hove. It reached bar in about tea minutes or a quarter of an hour afterwards. Did net see the life•boat return to the vie re. The next thing observed wee the French messenger, hi. Deena, struggling op the side of the pier by the ladder, having swam from the life-boat, and be told him the life-boat had been epee By dimness of the harbour muter men were sent down to the sands with lan tern. ready to noel= the boat hod she come on shore. Shortly alter M. Desire came on shore some one called out that a person was drowned, and the Dryly was shortly after wards brought up the ladder by which K. Des.= bad come Land carried to a small cabaret on the pier. Two other ies WITS brought into the same COOP* shortly after wards. It was blowing strong from W.N.W. and the night was very dark. He attributed the groundin g of the Prince Frederick William on the night in question to there being a swell on at the time. As the vessel entered the trough of the swell she meld not therefore hen bed so electioneer under her as at other timer, and he concluded it was in this way that her keel lock the ground. 'There is a reel.' order from the harbour-meter that the pdot on service shall go to the end of the east pier at one o'clock ln the morning, and that the other pilot ern service shall proceed in hie boat to the mouth of the harbour, to ascertain the clammy of water, by sound ing is smooth water at the entrance of the har bour ; end as soon as they have agreed that there Is saftleleat water the green light is exhibited. Should there not be suf. finiont water an ordinary bias dare light would be burnt CORPailf Ward, of the National Lifeboat Institution, made en ueves.t , gaUon as to the state of the lifeboat about a fat night since, and t eetry. then persons were put into her. The French portion of the crew who were in her on the wining of the 27th were very much prejudiced against her, and would not go in ber. The proceedings were adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

IN RE JOHN IDWARD HAMPARD.-A PROMOTING ORDIR VNIMIt MIR MATRIMONIAL CAME* ACT. This ierolNent, who had been a fishmonger bt,Billingsgate market, but now sesietent to his wife, carrying on burnout at the mew place under a protecting order granted under the Matrimonial Causes Act, was opposed by Mr. Reed for Messrs. Roue and Bacon, fish salesmes, and two other fish ealesmen. Mr. Mounts, another fish salesman, opposed in person. Mr. Sargood supported. This was a peculiar cue. On the sth of July the insol vent got 461. worth of flak of the three opposing creditors for whom Mr. Reed appeared, end he ahould have paid for the same before he lids the market. He, however, ran away, ult wu described, and did not return home. He admitted that be went with a female to Union-street, Somas-town, in the name of Rose. In a week be went to Manchester, where he was *fortnight, end then opened a shop for a fortnight. He gold it and went to Liverpool, and afterwards tog and from that plus 1w cams to London. On the 17th Sep towbar his wife got a protecting order from the Southwark Pollee Court, end dace Chrietrese ha had been her assistant at the market. Mr. Sargood said the puttee had made it up, but it wee advisable to keep the ostablieduuents distinct, as it tuttit vitiate the protecting order. The insolvent, it appeared, had no wages from his wife, but she kept him. Be said an " unfortunate occurrence" happened on Saturda the 3rd July, which was found out on the Monday, and In the middle of that day he determined to leave his home. Mr. Bacon, of the firm of Rona and Bacon, proved that the insolvent got fish to 161. 10s, on tbo sth July, and of Mr. Benjamin to 71. Both were larger quantities than he usually obtained. Mr. Bacon had interested himself to get the poor wife a Mall, she having been left in • piiiable state, and soon after her confinement. Mr. Mourson's complaint was that the insolvent owed him about 71. for fish, and iosteed of paying him bad induced the creditor to accept of 341. bills for their mutual accommodation. The insolvent got them discounted and kept the money. Mounts had to pay them lets half of one, and wee now • noffaer to about 601. The Chief Commissioner considered that Mountie had been very " soft." He Lad, however, been impooed upon. As to the other opposing creditors they had been simply cheated. The insolvent wanted some money for his trip, tied got goods to 461., which he sold. The court gave a judbment of eve months. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Lawzs, MARCH 23. Camara' Corxr.—(Before Mr. Insilco Wighttnan.)_ Henri Eduard Mitchell Mandell, 16, a good looking lad, was indicted for feloniously ister.marrying with one Lucy Bray, his wife Emily being at the time, and still alive. Mr. Wyatt protecnted ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Roupell. The drcumatences of this charge were of a very eztraore dinary character. The prisoner, it appeared, was employed as a tUo-cutter at the Brighton Railway Station, and be became acquainted with a young girl, named Emily Tupper, In the courts of last year, and on the 6th December, they were married at Brighten, the prisoner giving the naine of Retry Edward Mitchell Randall. Four years before this lie had been " wartime' a young girl, named Lacy Bray, who lived with her parent. at Ringnier, and It appeared that a few days after the marrhige at Brighton, he went to Ringmer, and on the 27th of Dee, he spin went through the ceremony of marriage with Lucy Bray. It transpired in the course of the evidence that there bad been en Improper intimacy between Lucy Bray and the prisoner foe a considerable time before the marriage. and that she wee in the temily•way by him, and expected to be put to bed In Jane meet. It also appeared that the presume had gone away from Rtegmer ea the day We that merriege took place, stating that he was going to London, and having married his tint wife be stopped a short Mae with her, and then returned to Magma, wham the accent marriage took place • and four days alter the second ceremony bed been perform ed, he told his second wife that ' be had beta married before, but raid be did not think It was a good marriage, because be woe married in the name of Randall, whereas his reel matte was Mitchell. The jury found the prisoner Guiliv. The loused judge said that under the peculiar circum stance, of the care_, be should take time to consider what sentence ought to be pronounced. THE POLICE COURTS. The following are the amounts received for Mary An. Donovan —J. 8., U.; I. Batten, 21. ; A. IV., 10e.; M. L. (per editor of Times), 10e.; M. P., 2a. 6d.; A Foreign; 5a.; L. W., it. 6e.; Anonymous, Is,; Editor of Morning Chro niele It. 2c; Editor of th e Times, Os. 9d.; Editor of the Daily News, 2. lid.; A. M., 10s. At the dor of the public business : The Lord Mayor said—l do not know whether lam right in what I am going to say, because I think a magistrate is net bard to Otter upon a defence of anything which he may do is him judicial capacity, but in the cam of Mary Doerr I have received a great many letters, some of them containing small eontributione for her use, and others filled with the most violent and ecurriloce abase. Of the latter I shall take no notice, but as to the contributions, I can, if the parties desire it, apply them as enured, far her nee and benefit, when she come est of prison; bat I think it right to say that if the ere had been pet into the papers In its in tegrity, there would have been no sympathy, and no contri butions. It is well flows that the girl had been here before, and that abe and therwitkwhom she associate., ban longboat in the habit of srembing together and annoy ieg the pusen gers with the moat Maintain language, and in feet she showed how vile was the language she could use while in this Louse awaiting her eamonninOn, and altogether her conduct has not bees such as to excite sympathy, for she is not quite so pure ea she wanted to appear. If she had gone away from the place when' the officer requested her to do so she would not have been brought b:tore me, but In stead of doing so she mined the officer, and tried to excite public sympathy, and collected a great crowd aroued her, to the mthlicinconsenenn. I know it is quits Impossible in a police report, condensed as it necessarily ii, ti give all the facts of such a ease, and, therefore, I have no fault at all to find with the accuracy of the re pon. I am willing ti take upon myself all the reepooll billy of the car, but it is, I maid say, som-tbieg new to me, after 30 years of devotion to the principles of justice end humanity, red of • des , re to Mans nob girls as Mary Donovan 'from a life of misery and vice, to Le r eused of all sorts u( crimes anima natio% and even, I may may, against common humanity; and if it had not been foe the contributions I should have thought it altogether none ceseary to offer any remarks upon the case. If, after this, it is still the desire of those who have sent trio contribu tions that they should be applied to the re of Msry Dono van, I will place the money in the hands of me of the moat humane clergyman in the City for him to apply as be pleases. Bat _I must again say, that, in ray opinion, the case is not ass which ought to eaciie public sympathy. Some ears ago this girl was placed in Sing Edward's School of Industry 'and Refuge for Girls, in Altert•street, Spited fields, end extraordinary results were anticipated from her evident natural abilities; but alter two years of ,training for • purl-teacher, with the view of opsniag up to her • ropeotable and useful mode of livelihood, they wen compelled to dinar her for her disorderly conduit, sad ethos then she had teen living in Flower end Dean-street, Spitalfielde, a locality chorea Tether by those of moat irregular habits than by girls who drab* to gat an honourable end an honest living. However, r I said riot°, if after this statement the persona who have sent the contribution, dill wish them to to eroded to the use of Miry Donovan when she cones out of prison. I will see that they ate so applied, and I have already written to Mr. Cohen, chaplain at Holloway, re questing him to ascertain if there is any chance of doing her en y real and permanent good ; bat I must add , that the con tributions usually rat to tale court aro for the benefit ger rally of the poor and d ing, and not ix the criminal. This girl has been to risen before, she had to n lon,' under; the notice of the police, and was the ring leader of a gang of girls who have long been oorn plained of by the rhatitasts for their habit of collecting around the Royal Exchange and the Fenctsur,h•strest Rail wsy-station, for the purp se of importuning gentlemen for money, end then abusing those who gave them nothing, and there is wrong reason for rapiers that the combs and other articles which throe girls nary and ostaaribly offer for et* ate carried shoot, not to sell, but maid, as a cover to enable them to address gentlemen, and indace them to comply with their desires. Among the letters and contributions seat to ma, I hate letters with small mums r eload. forwarded by the editors of the Tree, Deily Xnce, and Morning Chronicle. Thee, some 1 shalt apply, with the others, if the donors still desire it, end I wish to say that, however berth the papers _may have been towards me, I shall sot, therefore,bedeteered *mastering upon an earnest esdeasour to races this girl from a life of vice. I must old that, en the very gay when she was brought before rat, and Ow the one wee coaddrated, • patiseawa same forward to complain of her conduct, but said he did not dare to do it in open court, because he felt well assured that if he did so his windows would be broken neat morning by her companions. In conclusion, I have only to aid that I shall request the prose to aelmowledge all the sums sent for Mary Ann Donovan. OUILDHALL.
