A beautiful nonce in the gardens had been allotted to the billows ascents, sad the crowd which congregated bare at the appoiated hoer was Mammas. The performance commenced with • flight of leper halloos; each with a grotesque human or other figure atpended, and the smuremeet which each flight af forded to the juvenile portion of the company, might well suggest to the Crystal Palace directors the arrangemeet of an early repetition of the performance ou a larger am* ►od with more numerous and varied figures.

PAWN Barr. U. Emma. The semi-official Correspondence Mesas of this evening publishes an article upon the Roman ques tion, ooncluding thus :—" From the moment that the Italian Goverment selects Florence as the capital of Italy, it clearly shows its intention of renouncing Rome. There will thenceforward be no ground for the occupation of that city, especially since it is a well-known fact that France has away. been desirous of evacuating Rome, and that the obstacles to her so doing have arisen from events which have happened in Italy. France will choose the hour and the time, and will only wait until the new capital shall have bees chases, and the Pope shall have organised a sufficient force to insure his safety. The French policy will thus prove not to have varied. Although respecting the principle of non-intervention,she remains faithful to the resolution of offering guarantees for the main tenance of the Papal power." M. Nigra will leave this evening for Turin. The majority of the evening papers demand explanations from the Moniker and the other ministerial journals relative to the oonvention between France and Italy. ITALY. TURIN, ear. 21. A royal decree issued to-day convokes the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies foe the 6th of next month. GERMANY AND DENMARK. BERLIN, Barr. 21. The semi-official Novddentsdie dllyeinei .e ZeiSung of to-day keys :—" The intention of extending the term of the armistice for a longer period has been abandoned, the protraction of the peace negotia tions on the part of Denmark not having been without influence on that point. In fact, the political situation in Copenhagen has assumed a peculiar character. Not only do the Swedish papers evince in the most pointed manner Scandi navian tendencies, but even the Copenhagen jour nals openly avow sentiments favourable to the formation of a Scandinavian dynasty. Instead of recognising, they attack the stipulations of the peace preliminaries." The article concludes thus :--" It is therefore quite intelligible that the great German Powers should adhere strictly to paragraph 1 of the pro tocol of the armistice, whereby hostilities can be resumed at any time after a six weeks' notice." OPENING OF THE BWISS CHAMBERS. BERNE, Strr. 2L The Federal Chambers have been opened, and the National Council has commenced the discussion of the Franco-Suiss treaty of commerce.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ' FOR THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SOIENOE. (nom 001 OWN COIRESPONDINI.) YORK, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2L The preparations for the eighth annual meeting of this Association in the ancient and picturesque city of York are now nearly complete ; and the inauguration will take place in due form to-morrow (Thursday). The arrangements for the meetings of the different departmenta appear to be very good ; the rooms appointed being compactly situated and within easy distances of the eentral office, or reception rooms, which have been established at the Guildhall. As is well known, Lord Brougham again occupies the office of presi dent of the meeting ; the via-presidents being the Lord Mayor of York (Mr. Holhord), the Archbishop of York, the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of Zetland, Lord Houghton, and the Dean of York. The du ties of general secretary are discharged by Mr. G. H. Hastings, and the local secretaries are the Bev. Thomas Myers, Mr. J. W. North, and Mr. W. Proctor, M.D. The , business of the meeting will be divided amongst four departments. The first of these will deal with-ihe sebjeat of Jurisprudence and the Amendment of the Law, and its proceed ings will be presided over by Sir James Wilde, Judge of the Court of Probate. The list of Vice- Presidents comprises the names of Sir Walter Crofton, C.B. ; Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q.C. ; Alder man Leeman, of York ; Colonel Smyth, M.P. for York ; and Mr. Ernst Emil Wendt. The place of rendezvous for this department will be at the Board-room of the Poor Law guardians in Museum-street ; and it will have brought before it for discaraion special questions relating to the law of real property in the three kingdoms ; the principles on which the law should deal with questions of responsibility and mental competence in civil and criminal cases ; and whether any and what ameliorations can bs introduced into the institution and conduct of criminal prosecu tions. To this department will be attached a re formatory section, over which Sir Walter Crofton, so well known as the originator of a successful reformatory system in regard to criminals in Ireland, will preside ; and it will be considered whether any uniform system of penal discipline an be established in county gaols, and if so, in what way. Under the auspices of this department, a conference will be held on Monday, 26th inst., for promoting uniformity in the practice of adjusting general averages, and for the discussion of the draft of a code submitted by the International General Average Committee. The president of this depart ment will deliver his opening address to the gene ral body of the members of the association ou Friday morning. The Archbishop of York is the president of the second department, that of Education ; and the vice-presidents are the Rev. Canon Hey, the Rev. John Kenrick, and Mr. Ed ward Akroyd. The general address of the president of this department will be delivered on Monday, the 26th ; but the special proceedings will commence on Friday morning, and will embrace discussion on suggested improvements in the pre sent system of public school education; the mode in which grammar and other endowed schools can be made more available for the education of the middle class ; the state of education in rural dis tricts and small town populations ; the extension of the half time system to other than factory opera tives ; the admission of girl, to the university local examinations ; evening classes for adults, ea Each of these subjects will be taken separately, and on days appointed for their coosideration. The place of meeting of the department is at the De Grey Rooms, in St. Leonard's-place. The Department of Health is the third iu the pro gramme of the association. Its president is Sir Charles Hastings, M.D.; and Mr. W. D. Husband, Dr. Latkiester, and Dr. George Shaun, are the vice presidents. The subjects to be dealt with are those to which public attention is at the present time very particularly directed, and the practical elucidation of which is confessedly much to be desired. It is to be hoped that the deliberations of this society will tend to the promotion of the best means for disposing of the' sewage of towns, which is one of the subjects which it proposes to illustrate ; and it will also consider what is the influence on health of the overcrowding of dwelling-houses and workshops, and the means by which such over-crowding may be prevented ; as well as the causes and the means for the preven- 1 tion of excessive infant mortality. It is under stood that the subject of sanitary science will be thoroughly examined in this department. The ad dress of its president will be delivered in full assembly of the association, on Tuesday, the 29th ; but its ordinary business will have been in full pro gress from Friday. Economy and Trade are the subjects to be com prehended in the fourth department, of which Mr. Edwin Chadwick, C. 8., is president, and the Hon. I W. E. Dunoombe, M.P., Mr. Edward Holland, IM.P., and Mr. J. P. Brown Westhead, M.P., I are the vice-presidents. Here there will be dis lcussions more or less elaborate on the effects on trade of the existing laws of maritime warfare ; whether the granting of patents for inventions is conducive to the interests of trade (a subject which is expected to be closely examined) ; and in what respect*, and to what extent, government security and supervision should be applied to the provident investments of the working classes ; and in refer ence to this point no doubt we shall have the Chan- I cellor of the Exchequer and his measure of last ses sion duly arraigned, and the test of judicial criti cism severely applied to his case A section of this department will be devoted to agricultural questions, under the auspices of Mr. Edward Holland, M.P., and will deal with "Statute Hirings," the " Sale and Transport of Cattle," rkc. Its sittings will be in the lecture-room of the Mechanics' Institute, St. Saviour-gate ; while the meeting place of the department in general will be in the lecture-hall, Goodramgate. The operations above described will commence on Friday at half-past 10 o'clock, and it is necessary to state that the inaugural proceedings of the meet ing will take place to-morrow (Thursday). At three o'clock, • service will be held in the Cathedral—the grand old Minster, and a sermon will be preached by the Archbishop of York. At five o'clock there will be • branch meeting of the council in the reception-rooms at the Guildhall, and at 8 o'clock there will be a general meeting of members and associates in the festival concert-room, when an opening address will be delivered by Lord Brougham. Subsidiary to the special business of the association there will be other gatherings, social and sociable. For instance, on Friday even ing there will be " • working man's meeting," to which only that class will be admitted, with Lord Brougham in the chair. On Saturday there is to be a dinner at the De Grey Rooms, where Lord Brougham will again preside, his capability of ranging •' from grave to gay, from lively to severe," still holding to him , although be has now entered his nth year. On Tuesday there is to be a comer sa:ione in the Assembly-rooms ; and on Wednesday (28th) evening there will be a special discussion on the best melts of restraining bribery, corrupt prao tices, and extravagant expenditure at elections, where Loid Brougham will also officiate as chair man. The proceedings will be brought to a close on Thursday, 29th, by a general meeting of the association. So far as can yet be ascertained the meeting promisee to be a successful one. A number of dis tinguished professors, amateurs and specific, of politico-economic science have signified their in tention of being present ; and it is understood that the inhabitants of the county of York intend to avail themselves of the opportunity to hold high festival in their metropolitan city. Lord Brougham will be the guest of the Lord Mayor, and will take up his quarters at the Mansion-house. BRITISH ASSOOIATION FOR IWI ADVANCS MZEM 01 80117 CIA • BATH, WKDIIN•DAY.

He believed he told the audience that he could not put two sentences coherently together, so deeply grieved wee he at the loss of the man in whom he took so deep an interest, of whose discoveries be was so proud. That being so, what was his astonishment to find that the oorrespoodent of a London morning paper had reported that oothing was done to do honour to the memory of Captain Spoke, and remarked that if such an occurrence had taken place under such circumstances in France, high eulogies would have been pronounced up= the decreased. That might be the habit in France, sad that might be what that gentleman would have wished to see ; but how could • man who felt as be felt, when he heard of such a misfortune, in the same moment rise up and peas in review the life of the deceased? (Hear, beer.) They knew how be proposed a motion of condolence, and how they passed it lie did moos than Mat—he wrote a letter of condolence to the mother of poor Snake, and be, had that day received a letter from the brother of Captain Spoke, ansouecing that the funeral would take place at the satire plats of the &awed, Jordan,, on Friday, at I, 12 o'clock ; and to testify his respect for the memory of Captain Spoke, be (the President) intended to be present on that melancholy coranon. The Bath Chroeiefe did full jestioe to ell that was said end done upon that occasion ; bat the Liverpool papers appeared to have fallen into an error, for one associate there had written to know whether it was a note of Captain Grant that was read by Mr. Mark ham ; the associate thus ioquirine having left with the impression that that note came from Captain Burton, as he oonld not warmed his helium aufficiestly to speak. The Chairman raid that impreekon was the correct one. He himself asked Capt. Burton if be had any observations to make. He said be could not sufficiently command his feel. lags to do so ; and he wrote out the remarks, which were read by Mr. Markham. In the Liverpool sod some other papers at was represented that those observations were written by Captain Grant ; and it was supposed that the assumed silence et Calends Burton was owing to the differ. *bee of opinion that bad existed between him and Captain Spoke. He (the chairmen) was quite indignant, and be was sure they wortidiall holed/gem* safieding such a false roper mutation put upon the conduct of his distinguished friend Captain Burton. He was quite wire they all knew that geographers had better hearts than not to feel, in the deepest possible manner, the loos at his distinguished fellow. traveller—Captain Spoke. A VIXEN. —At Manchester, on Tuesday, Cathe • rine leßerr was brought up on remand charged with stabbing with intent to kill Bridget Murray, of Peel-strest, Gorton, a married woman. The prosecutrix, who was in a very weak state, and who had to be accommodated with a chair during the examination, said that on Thursday rear' she quarrelled with the prisoner on account of her treat ment of an old woman who bad the oar of her Mildred. The prisoner seised the old woman by the neck, and threatened to thrust her heed in the fire, when the witness interfered, and rid she ought to have more sense than talk to an old woman in much a way. The prisoner said, "Mind ur own business," and they never spoke to each other fu the rest of that day. On Friday evening the quarrel was resumed, and the wirea ad' milted that, after as abusive epithet had been applied to her, she pushed the prisoner, who thee broke two saucers over her bead, and took a red bat poker from the fire, and burnt her arm with it. The primmer then ran out crying " murder"; bat came in mein immediately itooompsnied by Mrs. Williamson, a neighbour.

The house wee by this time crowded by a num ber of excited spectators, one of whom struck the knife from the prisoner's hand. The prisoner then took up a hammer with which she dealt several blows on wittier% hand, rendering her insensible. Several witnesses gave oar roborative evidence, and Mr. Brown, the surgeon, who atioaded the injured vomits, said there were wounds on the ferehroad such as would be oared by blows with the riffs produced, and a marries on the beck of the head whisk might have been the result of blows from the hammer.

DISRAELI AT THE MEETING OF THE ROYAL BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. The Royal Bucke Agricultural Association held their annual meeting yesterday at Aylesbury. Ms earlier part of the day was oesupied by a show al *tack and poultry, and by a ploughing match; sad at four o'clock in the at tin man the members and friends of the society diced together at the George Hotel. The chair at the dinner was occupied by Mr. A. Thar, and the com pany coniristed of about 130 gentlemen, among whom were Mr. Diaraeli, M.P., Mr. S. G. Smith, M.P., Sir A. de Rothschild, ALP., Mr. T. T. Barnard, LP., Mr. J. Hall, Oaptain Fremantle, the Rev. Dr. Booth, Am The usual loyal toasts having been drunk with the accus tomed enthusiasm. Mr. P. DACNCL4 proposed " the Health of the County and Borough Members," and the taut having been cordially honoured, Mr. Dnatint roes amidst considerable cheering. The right hon. gentleman spoke of the usefulness of agricul tural associations as well as of harvest homes and " excur sion trains" in removing the shyness of demaenour once characteristic of Englishmen. He then referred to the crops, to the profits of trade, to inveetmenta in land, the I prosperity of landowners, the permanent and improving ' character of the special industry of the occupier of the soil, and the price of wool. On the latter subject be said : Wool now forms one of the most Important element. is agricultural industry, and is a eon= of very great profit to the cultivators of the soil. I cannot help feeling surprised that In this aunty, and more especially the northern part of the county, with which I am more intimately acquainted, . oar flothnuaters continue only to broad docks which pro duce abort wool. The great prices are given for long wool. and I cannot see why we should continue to produce abort wool only in the ooun ty of Buckingham. !should have thought that it would have been very easy he have crossed our downs with some of the Gloneastenhire or Leicestershire 1 tweeds, sad to grow very choice long wool. I stated my opinions upon this subject to an honest fanner, a neigh bour of mine, who had a considerable flock. He told me be Weed with me, but that be did not himself MOM his down, with Cotswolds or old long.wool sheep, because he believed the high price of wool was entirely to be attributed to the American civil war, and be had found it stated in his newspaper that that war was about to be brought to a termination. He then asked my advice upon the matter. Now I do not much like giving advice, because it is under any circumstances accept ing an unnecessary responsibility. (A laugh.) But 1 could not help saying that I did not quite agree with him that the high price of wool was exclusively and mainly occasioned by the civil war in America. I believe the general tendency for many years of all our raw materials, and of long wool among the number, has been to the in price ; and I think that even if there had bean no civil war in America, you would now have a high price for wool. But as regardsthe civil war in America, we would rather sot say much about it. I remember that at the outbreak of that war I was dining with an aninthrtral sseimiatiele— I believe it was at Buckingham—and then was great twenty to know what might happen in America. 1 took that opportunity .f saying that my opinion was that the war in America would be a very long war. The general idea at the Jinn was that it would be a vary sheet war, aid the American Minister of State announced that it would not extend over more than 90 days. 1 thought it would be • very long war : sod I formed that opinion because the causes of that war had been for • long period preparing. When suck causes as the emancipation of • race, or the creation or defence of national independence, or the meletenthce of a great em pire, prompt • people to enter into a war, the struggle mut not be confounded with such contests as the gime rality of European wan in modern times. When asthma go to war to rectify a frontier 'Or to employ an army the strife is brief, became. the moment the (rootlet is ad justed, or the army that wants employment has had a suf. Solent number of men shot, peace naturally ensues. But the issues involved in the American war are vast and pro found, and it is not to be supposed that when men enter into • struggle for such causes, they throw them lightly *aide like children who have grown tired of their toys. I casein, therefore, believe that we are as tear • peace in America as is generally imagined. The fact is, that there are occasions on which war is the only solution for the difficulties which perplex the ordiaary =magmas& of human affairs, and the struggle in America is • war of that character. I do not look on all thee* peace demonstrations which we have seen in the newspapers as • proof that we are sear • settlement of the climatic= at issue, or as any. l thing more than mere electioneering devices; and therefore, I say, to bring the matter to a practical point, because although I sometimes iodulge in political speculations, I pride myself on being a practical man—l say that the effect of all my political calculations is, that I shall now cross my Downs with Cotswolds—(hear, bear, and laughter)—and I think it le • mistake on the tart of the firmer. of Buck tagbarnabith —I hope I will not offend my constituents by saying so—to adhere to the practice of merely breeding Downs from • belief that the American war will soon ter minate. I repeat that I can see no gnat reason why the agricultural world should now feel discontented, oothwith standing all that we bear of the great commercial prosperity around us, and which, I am sure, none of us envy. But there is another class of the agricultural world on whose condition I wish to say a few words—l mean the class of agricultural labourers. I believe that their condition requires and deserves public consideratioe. (Hear, hear.) I will not enter at all into the question of the remuneration which they receive for their labour. Their wages, like the Inge" of every other class, are totally isdepandent of legis lation. The more we interfere in sack a matter, the more injury we do the labourer himself. But I em happy to think there bas been for many years a general tendency to increase the wages of our agricultural labours'', and in the south of Buckinghamshire those wages have very decidedly Increased. But although we cannot interfere with the wages of the' sericulture! labourer, there is a question connected with his mode of existence which calls for our best consideratioei and that is the house in which he dwells. This is not the first time that I have ventured to that subject. I remember that when a year or two ago I announced that in the south of Buck ieghamshire we bad no thatched cottages, cue of my best friends, and one of the most eloquent members of this society, thought 1 oast some reflect= on north Buckinghamshire, and he vindicated the cause of thatched cottages. I will say nothing about thatched cottages this evening, but I say it is of the utmost importance that the agricultural labourer should be well housed. (Hear, hear.) I say that that is • question of even more importance sa regards his health, than the question of his food or his raiment. I believe that all of us eat quite enough, and we know that • great many of us drink • good deal too much—(laughter)— whin no man can be too well housed. A good habitation not only protects a man from the inclemency of the weather, but also ambles him to enjoy pure and unvitiated air. (Hear, hear.) For that rethou it is the truest son= of health ; sad without health there cannot be strength or skill ; it is therefore of great importer= to the farmer— quite es important to the farmer as to any other class—that the agricultural labourer should be well housed. But it has been said that the matter is involved iti this insuperable clan cutly,that the mediae of suitabledwellimp for the agricul tural labourer would be an investment which would bring no adequate return. That is, I thiak, • fallacious objection. The point is, what do you mean by an adequate return! iWould a farmer find it more profitable to bare • sickly' labourer than • labourer fall of health and energy, even I though he should obtain the services of the latter at an In creased outlay! The well-housed and healthy labourer would in the long run be cheaper for the farmer and consequently for the landholder himself. It muse sot be supposed that the landlord is required ' I suddenly to cover his estate with model cottages. That I would be quite impossible ; you cannot in an instant effect i this change. It is said that on an estate of 2,000 acres you 1 would require • minimum of 60 cottages ; and the sum Deco.- eery for the erection of 60 cottages would probably be be- tweet 6,000 f. and 7,0001. But how is • man to afford such I a sum, which is, perhaps, three times his ananal'rental, on. lee—what we have no ?moo to suppose—be poetesses other 1 Karen of income! You cannot expect that every Laded proprietor should be • Duke of Northumberland—a man whom mind is as princely as his fortune, and who whet he imoceeded to estates of 110,003 acres, laid oat la the coentrootion of cottages • sum of 500,0001. The bias-ribbon was 'intoned as the Deb ot Northam berlinci,becatime he created a channel theist a moment whea we had noehannel fleet. That was a great public service ;but the man who lays down 500,0001. in building eottages for the peasantry on his 'status as much deserves the bls►rib bos—(hear,bear)—as the man who creates schemed fleet, or even as the man who, at the heed of the channel fleet, leads our seamen to victory. That ►owever is not to be expected from every man. But every landowner can do something in the same direction. The other day I maw four very inferior hovels or tenements that were boilt by a ninon who sought to obtain s good investment for his capital. But they passed into the hands of another proprietor, and they have been turned into two excellent cottages. These are the kind of opportunities of which all landed proprietors may avail themselves. The yontiou at LIMO is a very simple one. The greatness of a country depends on the race that inhabit it, and whatever your an. oestore may have done to make England great sad (smote, you lose the result of their labours it your people become physically degenerate. I need sot here dwell upon the condition of the poor is grad cities. But it ham been proved by the experience which they afford that wretchedness and crime are 00-ordinate. I was reaches the other day a book written more than 200 years ago, and I found from it that this subject of the sanitary condition of the people, which is usually 'opposed to have risen in our day, bad at that period attracted marked attention. It must be said for the honour and glory of the church that it tbea forbad intramural interment. It was stated by a very great scholar that the famous dociantion of the wisest of Kings, " Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity," was a mis print or a mistake of the copier, and that what Solomon really said was not, minifee resitemia, et ostaia rati.taa, bat aanitas asmitatum, et ostais amass. (A laugh.) la alluding teelie Ads of the dwelling of the laboaring.elasses I must admit that 'believe that some of the fault lies with the labourers themselves ; and re this soeount I propose, with the permission of your committee, to give nest year a prize of 51. for the cottage that is kept in the best order. I wish to direct the at teatime of the people themselves to this gubje,t, and it is with that view that I hope I shall be allowed to offer the proposed prize. I had not intended when I roes to address you at such length. I only meant to thank you in my own name and in the n►mes of my colleagues, for the honour you have done us in drinking our healths, and to make a few (moral remarks on the present state of the agri cultural classes. I believe we may now look epos our eon' ditson with satisfaction and contentment, but at the same time I bops with an increased sees of our duties, both es proprietors and occupiers of the soil, and with • mei idiom, that in improving the condition of the agricultural labourer's we are in fact increasing the sources of our own wealth, and ensuring the permanniee of our own happioems. (The right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst much cheering.) Some other addreises followed, and the company did cot separate until a somewhat advanced hoar of the evening.

THE LANs DIr.:MR - T.—There are few, if any, places in the lake district in which there are so many plea sat walks and picturesque resorts as Keswick ; and it must be a matter of regret, alike to tourist ad resi dent, to see these gradually disappearing nader the stern edicts of the new manorial dynasty which has replaced the comparatively paternal gmereinest of Greenwich Hospital. The temptation to make &short cut through • blooming meadow, or to thread the mum of some readapt labyrinth, id now °vowelised by the offensive sad restraining 'enaction No &ad," which. in glade( characters of white paint, defaces the umbrageous suburbs of Keswick. One of the beet known and mod favourite haunts, for at least a century, Cockshot.wood, fining the lake, was walled in a year or two since, none vestunng to question a decree. apparently as irrevocable as the laws of the Medea and Persians. Gray, the poet, visited Keswick in 1769, and in his very pleasing narrative of his tour, writes thee on the 4th of October, in that year, be walked to Coolant. bill in the afternoon ; it is covered with young tress, both sown and Planted, oak, spruce, Scotch fin, to.

Nicol Ending, at Portionsrlee,, is a similar public lean fag, in which Sir Joke Weedpsd Iwo provided that no encroachment or mistake should arise in flame, by placing states to define the right of the public. The Kee trick and &creedal' people cannot submit to hate a right, which they have prescriptively enjoyed so long, set aside ; and there can be little doubt that when these facts oome the knowledge of the lord of the manor, his abstract love of justice will prompt him to issue immediate commands for the repeal of this ohm:sons order.—Cumfxr:and Pa-quit.

MURDERS IN FLOREIRIR. —Three murders, com mitted within • short period, on women living in lonely quarters, hem created • great ormatios in Florence. Two of the supposed murderers have been arrested ins manner that speaks well for the police of that city. Alter the murder of the third woman, a woman in the neighLourhood was hoard to say, "It u • simpler fact that I saw a well dressed man with • black beard eater the hove, bat sines the murder I have not nee him." The police, having heard of this oheervation• called on the woman and asked her if she would know the man if the sew him agate. She re plied in the affirmative, ard the policeman n quested her to accompany him through the town and to look Out for the man she hod diewthed. She consented, and for five days she walked from 9 in the formsoott until 4 in the afternoon without moues ; but on the sixth day she pressed the arm of the policeman, sod sail. •• There he is," pointinj to a man who was ercesing the street. " Are you sure . said the policeman. " Tee. quit* sure." " Then go home, and leave the rest to me." The policeman followed the presumed murderer step by step. He breakfasted at the same lavers, and drank his plumb ta the rams coffeehouse. He accompanied him to the door of bin residence at night, and pursued the mese course for two days is succession. On the fourth day the deusger mot to the railway terminus, and asked for • tieket to Leghorn. The policeman did the same, and seated himself in the same carriage with the man he was watching. On arriving at Leghorn the suspected murderer met • oesepaalon, with whom he pared the entire day, speaks( apparently of serious matters. The policeman um thought it neeesrry to employ an eminent, whom he instructed to dam himself I. company with the two, and to offer himself as a p.m to conduct them to the best taverns and other homes of enter tatoment. He was accepted, sad after • couple of days the three persons were on the best teams pamible. The policeman then told his moistest it was time to act, and that he should at a favourable opportunity propose to his companions to commit a robbery.
