LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 11. lr might really be supposed, in reading the fierce diatribes of • powerful contemporary which connects everything in the heavens above and in the earth beneath with the paper duties, that the French Commercial Treaty was a huge evil to England. We have, it will insist, been deluded, deceived, bubbled, diddled, and we know not what beside, by it, and we shall be "inesseate fools if we now admit foreign paper. All this is mere rhodomontade. There is, - no doubt, a serious nego tiation on one important point to finish ; but, con clude that negotiation as the Commissi,on in Paris may (and there is every reason to expect that the result of labours commencing will be emi nently satisfactory), the benefits to England of the other parts of the Treaty are large and un deniable. By that Treaty wo have done that which we ought to have done ten years ago on other grounds ; we have freely adniitted the produce and manufactures of France. By that step we not only benefit ourselves, but we give the Frenzh people en interest in the friendship and welfare of England, in the continuance of goodwill and peace, such as they never possessed before ; and that, we take it, is the great merit of the Treaty. It is the supplement and completion of our free trade policy ; and how any advocate of freedom of commercial exchange can object to our share in iti provisions surpasses all reasonable com prehension. Gut the Treaty is defective in reciprocity, it is argued, on the side of the French. That argument, however, assigns to the Treaty a function of which it is guiltless. It was not a bargain ;it was not based on the principle of reciprocity ; the English negotiators did not stipulate to give so much if the French negotiators would go so far. That, indeed, would have been an abandonment of all our principles and rendered us ridiculous in the eyes of Europe. On the con trary, we bound ourselves to reduce and abolish ditties that were hurtful to ourselves, that repelled and diminished our intercourse with our nearest neighbours, and that tended to alienate us from the best elements of French society, French pro ducers, and French industry. In doing so, we acted on a sense of our own interests, and we started from an advanced position of free trade, from a point far distant from that at which France had so long stood still, and under circumstances which rendered all parity of procedure imposaible, and equality of immediate object out of the question. But (setting aside the subject on which negotia tion is dill , within certain limits, pending) the French have on their part made enormous advances by this Treaty. They have abandoned once and for over the stand-point of a restrictive com mercial policy—prohibitory duties—and entered on a career of protection and revenue taxation which they, as the most logical people in Europe, will soonest carry to their legitimate conclusion. They have admitted at *venue duties all our raw materials and half-manufactured articles, such as iron, coal, yarn, dc. They have lowered duties on the admission of our commodities into France to the extent of upwards of 3,000,000/. a-year. And they have undertaken to admit all our manu factures at specific duties not exceeding 30 per cent. ralurrm. Yet, because they purpose still to retain an objectionable export duty on rags we are bidden to believe we have been "diddled." A greater misrepresentation, or one couched in more reckless language, was never made. 11• e have neverconoealed—on the contrary, we were the find to point out—the weakness and in sotticiency of the article of the Treaty which affects our more finished fabrics only. But important as that article is, it is only a portion of a whole ; and e%en upon it anultimate judgment cannot be formed and pionounced until the subordinate negotiations it contemplated have terminated ; and there is, we reiterate, every reason to anticipate that its de fects will be supplied, and that out of its main principle, loyally carried out, British manufac tures will in the course of a short time be as much benefited by the Treaty as British raw materials and French produce. A little patience will, we are persuaded, show that we have neither been " bubbled " nor •• diddled " by France. It ie not a little humiliating to be compelled to discuss so serious a question between ourselvtli and a refined, cultivated people in such terms ; and it certainly will not tend to promote either our own dignity and self respect or elevate the tone of public morality to describe ourselves as the victims of the tricks and devices of cardsharpers or thimble rigawrs ; still less is it the way to assist grave ne gotiations affir•ting such important branches of our industry, to vilify the French Government and de preciate the capacity of our own negotiators. " h is an ill bird thatfouls known nest" is a proverb that aas never more applicable than to our contem porary at the present me 1111 l .iit. lad I*caux• the negotiations ciiiiteuiplated by the I 3th Artiek have cononeneetl with every pro. apect of ■necese, we are advised to deny ourselves lIIIIII■Nmo..

GRANT DIM, has given notice that this evening he will ask the Somerrol-Gt.ww. whether his attention has been drawn to an ad vertisement which appeared on Wednesday, an nouncing that a subscription had been opened in London in aid of the Sicilians, and whether persons in this country who contributed to the fund which it was proposed to raise would render themselves liable to any legal proceedings T Per haps while the subject is before the House some one will ask the same learned gentleman whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that sub scriptions have been openly collected in this country to pay the foreign rabble with which General LAmoziciraz is to re-conquer the Romagna for the Pors ; but we trust the question will stop there, and that no one will ask whether the persons who have collected them have rendered themselves liable to legal proceedings in so doing. It is rather late in the day to call in question the conduct of Englishmen who give a little money or even themselves to a nation struggling for free dom. No one now regrets the little we did to aid the Creeks in winning their independence, though, looking at the present subscription for the Pop; one is struck by the fact that there should have been in those days no proposal to make collections for the long suffering and injured Turk. If any persons are inclined to aid the Sicilian subscription we recommend them to send the money at once, by cheque or poet-office order, to Meier. FAEI3III - Brothers, of 150, Leadenhall-street, E.C. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE EXPEDITION OP GARIBALDL The Paris papers publish a variety of rumours respecting the expedition of Garibaldi, but nothing of an authentic nature later than the letter we pub lished last evening has as yet transpired. A letter, dated Genoa, May 7, says " The great affair of the day here at Genoa is the departure of Garibaldi, with about 2,000 volunteers for Sicily. The departure was effected' without much mystery, 011 the night between Saturday and Sunday. The soldiers of the valiant genera seised two steamers of the Genoese Company (Rubatino and Co.), the Piemonte and the Lombardo, which were in the roadstead, and, once outside the port, they steamed along the coast to the so-called RivadiLevante, pick ing up the volunteers at various points previously wed upon. The director of the company immedi ately lodged a complaint in due form. Yesterday (Sunday) during the day telegraphic orders werere ceived from Turin to watch the coast and to seize all arms discovered ; but all the volunteers had already embarked, and a considerable number of guns had been shipped, which had been stored on a point of the coast, at no great distance from Genoa. Gari baldi was the hurt man to embark with Nino Maio, after seeing all his men on board. The embark ation took place without any mishap, despite a somewhat heavy swell, by means of boats which had been prepared beforehand. It is reported to day that a third steamer, Ls Sardegna, of the same company has been stopped on its return from Cagliari to Genoa by a small steamer from Leghorn called the Giglio ; this latter, with ammunition and volunteers, is said to have transferred its freight to the Sardegna, sending on the passengers and de spatches in the Giglio to Genoa. The Sardegna is a large steamer, and has gone to join the Piemonte and Lombardo. "It is thought that, instead of landing in Sicily, Garibaldi and his little squadron will probably attempt a landing at some point of Calabria to rouse the populations and to make a formidable diversion. " The three steamers are well provided with everything, even cannon, and Garibaldi is said to have delared that he should not fear an encounter with a Neapolitan man-of-war." BANK OF FRANCE.

Although there has been an increase of 400,0001. in the bills discounted, the influx of government deposits has contributed to occasion a reduction of 900,0001. in the active circulation. of wine. The Sultan exchanged signals yesterday with the Brasil packet Tyne end the ship Hastings. The Depose in the country of Ambrix lately acquired by the Portuguese had revolted against the present rulers, and attempted, an Parch 12, with a body of 5,000 or 6,000 men, to retake the place ; the Governor-General of Loan& had in person with 600 white troops, including some Loando police, set out to Ambrix to supprees the revolt, but from a total want of supplies for the expedition, he was obliged after pursuing the rebels some eve leagues hastily to return, in which retreat the Dogma, harmed him severely and slaughtered & large number of the expe dition. The excitement in Lisbon at the governor's mis management is intense, and the government and Cortes have determined on sending out a large force to quell the Insurrection. The Prince of Congo, who was educated in Europe, was for the time being employed as an official at Ambris, by the Portuguese, hut the natives fearing that he would, if opportunity offered, introduce European customs among them, commenced the rebellion by demanding him from an English factory where he bad taken refuge, under a threat that they would burn it down if their request was refused. Resistance against such overwhelming numbers was impos sible, and the poor victim was torn from his place of shel ter and savagely cut to pieces. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova owls PARIS. TIWISIDAT EVIENTNO. The news which I mentioned as probable a day or two sines, that the Emperor would not go to Savoy till the autumn, is now all but official. The period of his visit to his new possessions will probably be about the end of September ; his ap pesranee at the Chalons camp will take place in June. The Opinion Nationale asks the government jour nals which run a muck at Garibaldi this simple question : Do they believe in the possibility of an alliance between Naples and Piedmont, between the north and the south of Italy? If snob an alliance is impossible, there are only two solutions of the Italian question. Either Naples, aided by Austria and the Pope, will crush the newly-formed kingdom and the national cause which it repre sents, or the principle which has triumphed with the north will extend to the south,and will modify, or, if necessary, overturn, the refractory govern ments. Garibaldi has taken with him to Sicily hie only son, and also George Manin, the only son of the illustrious defender of Venice. The Patric offers, as a reason for its hostility to Garibaldi's mission, that the real meaning of the words " Independence and Liberty," inscribed on his flag, is "The English Protectorate." It does not want to see the Sicilians become lonians, and that is the whole secret of its policy. The foreign correspondents, who habitually de rive their information from K de la Guerronnibre's office, have been authorised to say that there is no truth in the reported mission of M. Benedetti to Copenhagen. The Bourse has been dull, with but trivial flue tuations. The Rents fell 100. for cash, and sc. for account, closing at 70fr. 80c. in each case. Mobilier, recovering from the continual decline of the last few days, rose 6fr. 25c. The Orleans Railway rose Bfr 75c. ; Lyons, 6fr. ; Eastern, 3fr. 75c. ; and Southern, 21r. 500. In the other lines there was no change. VICTOR AT PARMA. (PROP OUR SPZCIAL COIUMPONDILIT.) PARMA, MAT 7. The King's reception, both at Reggio and this place, was as enthusiastic as everywhere else— more need not be said. In spite of excommunications and interdetti; 1 think we have quite enough of masses, Te Deems, and benedictions. Yesterday being Sunday, we had to hear high mass at Reign), and on our arrival here another Te Deum awaited the royal suite in the cathedral. As at Bologna, Modena, and Reggio, the bishop was not present. But here his reverence did not remain quietly in his palace, as his colleagues in the abovementioned towns had done. He actually bolted the day before the King's visit. Fra Felice Cantimori—for Monsignors was a monk before his election to the bishopric of this city—having been asked by Count Luigi Sanvitale, the mayor of the town, whether he intended to re ceive the King or not, sent an answer that he should act according team instructions of Rome. It appears that be telegraphed to Cardinal Antonelli, and in consequence of the answer he got he thought it beet to cross the Po, and pay a visit to the Austrians at Mantua. Before leaving Parma, he wrote to the mayor that Rome had forbidden both him and his canons to receive Victor Emmanuel, and that he war therefore obliged to leave his flock. In spite of the sudden departure of his reverence, however, the canons not only opened the doors of the cathedral and sung the Te Devon, but have expressed their desire that the bishop should never be allowed to return to Parma. This wish, if the Sardinian government understands its duty, ought to be attended to. I shall not dwell on the solemnity I witnessed in the Demme, for all Roman catholic ceremonies are very much alike. When the King appeared at the entrance of the church, the crowd, which thronged it to suffocation, burst orth into a tremendous roar of applause. The cathedral of Pants is, perhaps, one of the most original of Italy. It is a lofty and noble building of the twelfth century, in the Italian Gothic style. Its large staircase leading to the altar was crowded by military officers who were in attendance on his Majesty. The galleries which run along the nave were filled with elegantly-dressed ladies, waving their handkerchiefs and shouting their musical " Vivas !" Amongst the high tune tionaries who stood before the great altar I noticed the French consul, who must have received instructions from his government to attend the cere mony, for Cavaliere Pattrinieri, although an Italian by birth ? is much too prudent a man to niu the risk of displeasing his Imperial master. The Te . Deem once over, the royal certige took the direc tion of the ducal palace, passing under a splendid triumphal arch erected for the occasion. As soon as his Majesty alighted from the royal ca e the official receptions began. The crowd in the Pisses opposite to the royal residence began to cheer with such vehemence that Victor Emmanuel was obliged to show himself on the balcony. The ladies, who occupied the upper gallery of the triumphal arch opposite, waved their handkerchiefs, while the bands played the national anthem. It WAS not only a magnificent but an affecting scene, and I saw both women and men shedding tears in their excitement and joy. The same scenes were repeated when his Majesty went through the streets to see the illumination, and when he appeared at the theatre. You must not forget that not only all the citizens of Parma took part in this great and solemn demonstration, but that a large proportion of tho rural popula tion had flocked from the country district, to show their devotion to Victor Emmanuel and to the principle be represents. Let it be well un derstood, therefore, that if papal restoration is quite impossible in Romagna, that of the Dukes and Duchess has not a better chance in these coun tries. The national feeling has been too much roused by the cruelty and iniegoverument of the former mie' to swerve for a moment from its end. At four o'clock his Majesty will start for Piacenza, where we shall stop till to-morrow night. Yester day was a day of parliamentary elections. I hear that the ministerial candidates passed almost with out opposition. Count Cavour pi administration will derive new strength from them, and will be able to facie without danger the pitched battle that the opposition intend to wage upon the slippery and difficult ground of the Savoy and Nice question. THE QUWI AID THE LACE TRADE. (From the Notting(Mae Journal of this day). In our last week's Impression we mentioned that Use principal lace manufacturers of this town had been in vited by the provisional committee of the Chamber of Coal mine to send in epecimens of lace, shawls, mantles, and other fabrics, to be submitted for inspection by her Majesty, and that some dissatisfaction existed in consequence of the committee having only invited goods of certain width to be sent in, thereby excluding several eminent makers in the town. The committee, however, very wisely withdrew the resolution as to width, as, if they bad not done so, many of the best productions of the trade, such as the beautiful Valenciennes edgings, and other articles of a similar character, would have been excluded. We understand the whole of the firma invited with one exception sent in goods, and • moat excellent show of articles they were, and fully calculated to remove the injurious impression which has so long existed in the public mind that Nottingham lace is inferior to the pillow and cushioned lace. On Monday last Mr. Councillor Mal let and Mr. William Vickers, jun., proceeded to London with the specimens in question. They attended at Buck issgbam Palace, and in one of the spacious apartmenta they spread out the various samples, the goods of each particular house being only distinguished by • consign ment number and the private spark of the firm who sup plied them, so as to leave no room for any imputation of unfairness. Messrs. Mallet and Vickers were favoured with an introduction to the Queen, her illustrious consort, and other members of the royal family, and her Majesty was graciously pleased to express to them her high and unquali fied admiration at the excellence of the articles submitted to her. On Wednesday, an intimation was conveyed to the deputation by one of the court officials that her Majesty luul condescended to make a selection from them, consisting of Spanish laces—shawl, mantle, tunic, and flounces; and others in pusher laces, known as Point de Bayeux. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice select d a mantle of the latter fabric, in addition to which the Queen made choice of • mauve and white shawl of looped fabric. We are bound to express our opinion, notwithstanding the impressions that may exist in certain quarters as to matters of detail, to Dome of which we gave expression last week, that espe cial care had been taken to act with perfect fairness to the intends of the trade generally ; and that the success of • movement which has been so happily inaugurated and pro moted with so much real and courtesy by the Duke of New castle, chiefly depends upon the maintenance of good feeling on the part of those who are concerned, and of thorough confidence in the gentlemen who have been called upon to carry out the necessary arrangements. DEATH OF THE DZAN OF LONDONDERRY.—The Deana Derry (Gough) died on Tuesday. The place, se cording to the Freeman's Journal, is worth 3,0)81. pet annum, and is in the gift of the government. The dean was appointed in 1820. THE PAP= Dorm—A public meeting of the inhabitants of the metropo li s will be held on Tuesday next at St. Martin's Hull, to protest against the usurpation of the privileges of the Commons, proposed by Lord Moat eagle and Lard Derby, in their motion to retain the paper duties by the authority of the House of Lords, indepen dent of the House of Commons and the crown. THE A DULTZRATION OT GUANO. —A special meeting of the directors of the Ayrshire Agricultural Association was held on Tuesday for the purpose of taking into eon sidemtion the steps necessary to ascertain the timidity and value of the guano and other manures sold within the last twelve months, or in course of being offered for male to farmers and others in the county of Ayr. It was stated that one party bad purchased part of two cargoes of guano from a dealer in Ayr, one containing 18 per cent. of sand, and the other 8. In another case it was found that there was 18 per cent, of sand in the guano, and only 10 per cent of ammonia, in place of 17. After some consideration • committee was appointed to make such inquiries, by analysis or otherwise, as they may think proper. TEC GRZAT &Jaguar. --SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. —The great ship was thrown open to-day for the benefit of the Routh Hants Infirmary, the whole receipts of the day being generously devoted to that excellent institution by the directors of the company. Visitors were conveyed to and fro from the docks by the South-Western and Ruby steamers, which vessels had been kindly lent for the pur mby the South - Western Company and the Isle of Wight boat Company, to which they respectively belong. They ran at regular intervals from 10 in the morning till 8 in the evening, and several hundreds of persons availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the great ship before her approaching departure for America. The charge was 2s. la per head, including transit to and fro, and a large number of children in public schools were tak en at 6.1 each. The Peninsular and Oriental Company liberally gave the services of the betide of three of their vessels in port, one of which was placed on beard each of the tenders, and the third played on the dock quay dunes; the day. The two steamers, and also the Great Pastern, were gay dressed out ii flags. The number of visitors would have been con siderably larger had the weather been fine. MICLANC HOLT BOAT AOCIDINT. —With deep regret we record the particulars of the following end accident, which occurred on Tuesday last, and which not only plunged the bereaved families into great grief, but has excited the greatest sympathy for them amongst all classes. Mr. Thomas Sadler, Mr. Joseph Eve. Mr. Alfred Sella, Mr. Adolphus Said, Mr. Joseph Fordham, and Mr. Henry Del sham, went down the river in the morning in • pleasure boat for a day's sail. The wind having been pretty strong all day, they had gone some distance, and at noon were about to return home. When off Brightlingma, it appears a sudden squall took the boat, and it immettely capsized and sank. The accident was observed by some men on board several fishing smacks near, and they immediately went to the essistance of the parties, but unhappily suc ceeded in rescuing Mr. Alfred Sadd, Mr. Eve, and Mr. Beleharn only ; the other three met a watery grave.— Cketemforri Chronicle. RAILWAY TRAIN ON FIRE—Some consternation was created amongst the inhabitants on the eastern aide of Retford, on seeing a railway train coming down the incline from the Clarborough tunnel on fire, between five and six o'clock in the evening of Friday last. The train, amongst others, had five trucks of hay attached. It would seem that the trucks were all right on leaving Clainaborough, but caught fire from the engine between that place and Ret ford, suit on apprisching the tuauel it was found that some thing was amiss. On coming down the incline to Retforti, the tinnier Lroke out and presented a curious spectacle. The train, of course, stopped at the Retfonl station, and assistance being at gaud, the smouldering masses were got off, but all the hay was spoiled, and the woodwork of the five carriages entirely destroyed. DESTRUCTION OH A RAILWAY BRIDGE BY FIRS.— OR Wednesday afternoon, the bridge of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at Scotswood was totally destroyed by fire. It appears that for some time put great complaints have been made of the inconvenience to the navigation of the river which this bridge has caused, and Also of its instability ; and in conse quence of these complaints, the Board of Trade sent Captain Yolland down to make an official inspection of the structure. This inspection took place ou Wednesday, and occupied some hours, during which time engines were run ning backwards and forwards ou the bridge, one sometimes being kept standing on it for an hour at a time. Its 'ap point( that the hot ashes got in between the crevices of the wood planking, xmoiddered for some time, and then set it on fire. The bridge, which was a wooden one, was as dry as tinder, and a peat portion of it was thickly mated with tar, so that the flames spread rapidly, and in a short space of time the whole structure was burnt to the water's edge. The accident seems to be looked upon as a bleating rather than a calamity THE EsCAPE FROM NEWCASTLE GAOL.—A meet ing of magistrates war held at the Manure' Police Station, at 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, when the cave of the late escape from gaol again came under their cousideratioo. Mr. Wood, the deputy-governor, watt suspended from his office for a period of one week after the expiration of the time for which he was first suspended, and the turnkey, Porter, was dismissed front his office. Mr. Robins, the new governor, arrived at the gaol on Monday, and on the fol lowing day he relieved Mr. Sabbage of the onerous duties which, since the escape of Douglas, that gentleutau has assiduously performed. —Newcastle Chronicle. RATHRIISOSPICIOVIL—The chili Lucy, arrivod at Liverpool from Koerla Mooria, reports that on tho 2:ird April she passed the ship Comm." fmm Kurrachee for London. The captain of the Cosmos reports that "on the 6th and 7th April, in latitude 25. M dogs. N., longitude 34.2 dep. W., a suspicious looking schooner ran close on our lee, asking what our longitude was. She was a pirati cal•looking craft, and had three heavy guns in the waist, and a large swivel-gun on the quarter-deck, and showed Tuscan colours, half -mast high. At dusk she hove about." A WIPE KILLED BY HER litlenAtin.—At the Liverpool Police-court yesterday (Thursday) John Higgart, residing at Leuentatreet, Edge-hill, was brought up charged with killing his wife. The evidence adduced gave • (earful picture of the evil effects of drink in a family. The wife of the prisoner was Aided to have been an habitual drunken!, while the prisoner himself was addicted to the same vice, and it was in one of their drunken quarrels that the hue lend by one blow put the lied on Ida wife's ex istence. A witness, named Joseph Lathwood, and that he lodged in the house weepier' by Higgert, and about 241 minutes past 11 on Wader...day, while eating his supper, Ides. Higgart came in. She appeared the worse fur liquor; and bee loodmind, who was also pre sent, commenced talking to her, saying that she must leave off drinking, or else he would separate from her. She re forted, and from words they got to blows, the effects of one of which knocked the ilecesaedilown, her head coming in contact with the floor of the le:unary. The unfortunate woman was lifted up, and placed in a reclining p.aition in • chair, and • doctor sent for ; hut she never rallied, and died in about ten minutes after the fatal blow. The hus band was remanded, iu order that a post-mortem examina tion might be made of the laxly of the deceased. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY.) THE CASE OF THE REV : . 11R. HATCH.- (THIRD DAY.) —— - , The trial was resumed this startups shortly after ten o'clock. The same learned counsel appeared for the wriecution and the defence. The case for the prosecution was brought to a close on Thursday evening, and the defence was commenced this morning. Serjeant Shea proceeded to &dare= the jury for the defendant, in a most eloquent and able speech. He that in November last the prosecutor of this indictment, the Bev. Mr. Hatch, was tried in that court upon .6 charge of having committed a series of assaults upon the little girl who was now charged with perjury, and also with committing an assault upon her sister Stephanie, a child eight years old. He was well aware of the nature of the charges that were to be preferred against him ; he had tho most able legal aosistance, and not .6 single witness was called to speak to facts, and the jury felt themselves com pelled to find him guilty upon both charges, and the learned judge who tried him passed upon him a sentence of two years' imprisonment and hard labour for each offence. This sentence was one that undoubtedly entailed ruin and destruction upon Mr. Hatch, and in order to escape that punishment and to free himself from the consequences of the conviction, although not a single witness to fact was called at the trial, he got up a number of what were called statutory declara tions, with the object of obtaining • pardon. The secretary of state, however, would not listen to such a euggestion, and then this indictment for perjury was preferred against the present defendant. The question was undoubtedly one of the most painful description ; it could not be denied that Mr. Hatch, down to the period of this transaction, bore a most exemplary cha racter, but, on the other hand, Miss Plummer was • respectable young lady, the daughter of re spectable and wealthy parents, carefully brought up and educated, and, he would ask them, what possible motive could she have had for making such an odious charge? How could these children have become acquainted with such abominations as had been deposed to in this case ? If they had no motive, then what motive could their parents have had for preferring such an odious accusation against • re spectable man—a clergyman, and who, down to the period of their seeing the advertiaement, wax an entire stranger to them? There had been no disagreement of any kind. It was admitted by all the witnesses that the children were most kindly treated and that Mrs. Plummer made the most liberal terms, and there was not the slightest misunderstanding on any thing upon which • supposition could be founded that the Plummets entertained the slightest illfeeruig towards Mr. Hatch. What also was their conduct when the discovery was made ? The very night they got home they sent for their medical man, they sent for their solicitor, they instituted an inquiry, and it was clear that all they did was under the strong conviction that a foul assault had been made upon their children, and that their duty to the public, and also the duty they owed to the parents of other children who might be @abject to trio same pollution, left them no alternative but to have the matter investigated. Even then they did not hastily drag the matter be. fore the public, but they wrote a most proper and temperate letter to the Bishop of Winchester, who, they felt satisfied, would do everything that was pro per in the matter. The bishop undoubtedly did do so ; be communicated with the visiting magistrates, and an inquiry was to have taken place, but the proceeding was cut short by Mr. Hatch resigning his situation and going away from his abode. The learned serja-uat then proceeded to refer to the facts that had been proved ; and he said it appeared to him that no answer whatever had been given to the original testimony of the child Eugenia Plummer. When Mr. Hatch stood upon his trial, he was perfectly well aware of the facts that had been deposed to, and the precise charges that were made against him, and yet he now for the first time endeavoured to show that the first act of indecency took place iu the carriage -drive. If they had eross-examined Eugenia Plummer upon this point she would have told them where the act was really committed, but now her mouth was closed, and she was unable to tell them that it took place behind the clump of shrubs that had been spoken of. He did not think the prosecution had been conducted quite fairly in this respect, for no dispute was made at the former trial as to the particular spot whore the act was corn. raided, and on the present occasion the object evidently was to get • conviction for perjury upon this one count of the indictment, which it was hoped would have the effect of an swering the purpose of the present prosecution. He sub mitted, however, that the presdcution had en tirely broken down upon this point, awl that the jury could not believe the statement of the wit nesses that Mr. Hatch never left the carriage-drive, and that the story was the result of an agreenient between the parties with the object of saving a clergyman from dia -1 grace and punishment. Mr. Hatch himself admitted that I he very frequently went into the bedroom of this little girl while she was in bed and kissed her, and it appeared to him that this was rather an extraors dinary proceeding for a man in the position of Mr. Hatch, with a girl nearly twelve years old. The child herself said that he did a great deal more, and it appeared to him that there was nothing to contradict her testimony. The learned serjesnt then proceeded to comment upon all the other charges at considerable length, and he concluded by expressing an opinion that when the jury had heard the evidence he should lay before theni, they would feel it to be their duty, however painful it might be to their feelings, to say that the defendant was not guilty upon the present charge.

The official Giornale di Roma says :--" The reception of King Victor Emmanuel by the clergy at Bologna was very different to what the Turin papers represented. " A large number of refugees and some students were guilty of sacrilege and profanity in making the dome of the sacred temple resound with their shouting in order to make the people believe that it was a demonstration of the priests. " The King was to have passed seven days at Bologna, but remained only two days on the soil of the Romagna, which he appeared very anxious and in a great hurry to leave." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Now, however, Baron von Bruck is dead M. von Planer definitely remains as his successor. One of the principal reforms which M. von Planer, in conjunc tion with his ministerial colleagues, is about to effect ()moist* in a proposal to re-establish the Ministry of Commerce and of Public Works, which, in August, 1859, had been united with the Ministry of Finance.
