SICILY. The following extract le from a War addressed by an Italian untlelaaa, Dr. Albert Mosmstier, to a friend in Eiburgh. It is dated "Palermo, July 19, 1800" : After unsay disappoistneests and anneyenem I have at hat been able to trend the Palerii..t.in ea far ever memo rable both for the heroic acts°. and the ..trocitise of which tithes en lately been the scene. Y4ince I left Edinburgh, as yen know by the werstierrs, .nothing has occurred in the tight* way, the dictator • poi., being to form a p owor tm mom. null ingsmeed and disriplored, so as to enable him to ester Naples elmmt without bbn.laMd. bloodshed, how ever, them will he ; hut it will be short work, pa everyone is mink disgusted with the Pathos°. as they call the goorbons, to stand by them if they have • chance of me- Every two or throe tl.O s battalions formed and pretty well drilled leave l'alerns,t.. make mom for new They are directed towards Messina or Warne, st▪ ation by stature, end are perfo.ted in their drill as they proeeed It ti now believed that between Sicilians arid other Ita lanr are about 30,000 men directs...al towards Sophie or Meeoe.t. To my precaely whet will be done tint is impresible, for the orders for starting always arrive sud denly, and no one but the coesmanibmg otflarr knows when the atom are directed or which rood they are to take. I left Genoa on the 9th at twelve o'clock p.m., on pas mere direct to Palermo, where we landed with too men 43 hours afterwards . Av we were not expected so soon, we were disembarked on the pier and enclosed in • set of iron rails, when we wen- left to wait for daylight, when it wee Paid the dictator would CUILO and receive s. About nee o'clock the General made his appearance at the heal if his staff. He mu in his usual simple costume and looked rather stern. His heard has grown slightly since I saw him last, but he has List nothing of the tire of that keen grey eve and of that simplicity of manner which iliatinguivlies him from the mob of the sal-calla' ruerals. The men were drawn up ia four limes, before which he walked &ambit, the cries and shore of '• Viva Garibaldi." He then catered his small fortification, which iscluiles the lighthouse, and we made oar way towards Palermo, paring through the Brio. Although it was early in the inornitg there were marers speetators at the I/ iudows- old men, children , and woman, in an undressed state, cheering " like bricks ' and clapping their lands a. our young fellows loose t, especially elan a Roble or pries can,. in the way, wheal the waving of hats and shouting were redoubled. Last night the town of Palermo preeent..l the ame appearance it displayed on the estrance .4 the first allied troops into the harbour. The oreesicia was this--a Neapolitan corvette, the Veloce, was ailing towards Palermo with two other small 1.411•110. titan etearners in tow. The Values was purchased by the Palermitan government in ISM, and was then called the !tidal - sodium. Taken by the Boar. home, after the fall of Palermo at that time, the old slup has reclaimed true to her traditional fame, and has bees, it appears, the nisinapring id a conspiracy in the Nsitiolitan navy. to induce them to change sides Ito soon se the Veloce with the two steamers in tow entered the harbour they were surrounded be a thousand small boats, and the shouting, noise, and gesticulation which followed mar be imagined but cannot be described. Garibaldi was on the spot Aniougst the first, and so was I, and he took advanta:m of a boat which I had hired to board the steamer, which lair about fifty yards off. He came to the pier in • simple state carriage demo by a pair of bleak buries, but he had made no preparrAimi for the ara—eo humbug about Lim. While writing I am informed the Vetoes captured the two steamer, whi,b she had in tow, end that they del notgive themselves up, as was formerly mid. The town of Palermo is illuminated every night, and presents a most animated appearance. Towards sunset there i a aptendel panne:lade, where all the beauties of the tows Wrier in their carriages.

It commenced on Monday afternoon, and was adjourned until this morning, and occu pied the whole of the day, and was not concluded until wren o'clock. Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C., and the Hon. G. Daman, were Ica the plaintiff ; Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q. 0., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Hannan, were for the defoodent. Th.plaintiff in this action is one of the partners in the firm of Mena and Co., the brewers, and tlip defendant is an attorney. II appeared that both parties had purchased certain propmiy in the neighbourhood of Sheerness ; and the question in dispute was whether there was a right of way across& certain field called the Hundred-acre Field, the contention on the part of the plaintiff being that there bad been a public way across the field in question from time immemorial. The jury, in the result, found that this had been esta blish 4 and gave a verdict for the plaintiff. CROWN Sun. (Before Mr. Edwin James, Q.C.) Jaws Arnie, 24, soldier, was indicted for robbery with violence upon Helene Patterson. Mr. Barrow prosecuted. The prosecutrix, it appeared, was a respectable young woman, and on the evening mentioned in the indictment she was walking across Chatham lines with her father, who was some distance in front, when the miaoner, who is • private in the 75th Regiment, came up to her, and with an oath said that money he wanted and money he would have, and he then used some violence towards the prosecu trix, and robbed her of • small sum of money. She gave an 4sirm, and her father came up, upon which the pri. loner ran off, but be was taken into custody shortly after wards. The prisoner was convicted, and ordered to be kept to hard labour for two years. When the sentence was pronounced the prisoner became very violent, and exclaimed, " your two year] ; I want another sentence than that;" and it was with grr .1 difficulty that he was removed by the polere in attendance. It has already been stated that a great number of soldiers have been „convicted of offences at these assima ; and although many of them appear to have borne a moat in famous character previous to their joining the army, there to be very little doubt that the object a good many appears had in view when they committed the offence was to get out of the service. OPERATIVZ VOLUNTEER CORPS. List evening nn influential and ii=rra attended publis ninsting was lid st the Blacklmeth, for the pismoso cf aiding the fonnatics el • volunteer ride mem to be composed of the skilled artisans of the district. The - chair was occupied by Major H. Farrell, and oo the *Worm were numerous volunteer otboers from Greenwich, Deptford, hc. The chairman commenced the nrcceoahlii by observing that he had for 'come time enter tained an °pia= that the volunteer movement would never be perfected arbor by the co-operation of the great moms of the working cheese of this country. He considered that every man in Great Britain who was able to handle and use Smarms should enlist himself in that important form which might be truly described se our national guard. (Peen.) At the volunteer review before her Majesty and at the Asa cot in Modem-park the wealthy sad the coninterdi Ames were well represented, bat the working clam important from its intelligenceand awnless, might be mid not Whether*. Several working saes had waited upon him to express their anxiety to form a corps, and he was delighted to have as opportunity of minting them. He was convinced that the working chime of that district would form a most cadent force, and that the wealthy inhabitants would gladly soma. forward to aid the project. After referring to the Mumma army of France, nod the recent campaign of the French Emperor in conflict with Austria, the speaker observed that this country could never afford to compete with France as to the numerical strength of its standing army, bat with the free population of this country trained to arms we used not fear being laid prostrate at the foot of any con queror. (Cheers.) He would remind those working men whom he trusted would enrol themselves on that night, that if ever a struggle did come, it would be • death struggle ; oeverthelees be did not believe that • single 'whin. Leer would be found to flinch, if called upon to defend to the utmost the honour of his country. Dr. Carr proposed the following resolution : " That it is expedient and desirable that the skilled operatives and arti sans of the district of Blackheath should be embodied as • volunteer corps." Claptoin Bnndram (Blackheath Artillery), in seconding the motion, maid be was fully prepared to aid the formation of an artisan corps, not only by words ' but by mamas of hie pocket. (Loud cheers.) The resolu tion was =Had. Mr. Matthews (a working man) moved " That the artisan corps form a division of the hid Kent Rifles, the wet of uniform not to exceed three guinea, of which each member shall contribute U. Se. by instalment+ during twelve months. Mr. Webb seconded the motion, which war adopted. The chairman expressed the utmost contideoce that the movement would be warmly supported, and after other addressee and the enrolment of members the meeting separated. VOLUNTEER FIELD DAY ON HAMPSTRAD-HEATE.— It has been arranged between the West Middlesex, the North Middlesex, and other rifle corps established is the northern and western districts of the metropolis, to have • fielalday and sham fight on Saturday afternoon next on Hampstead-heath.

His also stated Dot to be improbable that the London Scottish and London Irish Rifles may take part in the proceedings. The regimental onion state that the North Middleux will meter atheadquarten at fotvo'clock, sad march with their band to the Regent's-park -Barracks, where ten rounds of bleak cartridge ammunition per man will be served oat, and they will then march towards Cbalk.fann and Haverstock-lull, where they expect to be joined by the West Middlesex (also with its land), which leaves the Lord's Cricket.pound (headquarters) at five. The two corps will taw march to Hampstead together. It le understood that the Light Greys will be the defending, and the Dark Greys and Green uniforms the attacking forces. The action is to commence punctually at six o'do.M. The 29th (North Middlesex Rides) are to march to St. Pancras New Church on Sunday afternoon next, where, after the service, • sermon is to be preached by the Rev. C. H. Andrews, the acting vicar. The corps assemble in the enclosure of Morningtomcrescent, Hampstead-road, at 2 o'clock, and march to church headed by their band, and after service march back to the same place and dismiss As an illustration of the spirit which is manifest amongst the Voltinteen it is a fact worth mention ing, that on last Saturday evening, after undergoing he*de drill in the pelting rain, which wetted the men to Orb. skins, at Barnet, the 29th North Middlesex, in company with the 7th (Islington) Middlesex Rifles, m a rched, wet as they were, the entire distance to town (13 miles). Oa remit- Ism the turnpike crossing the Highgate Archway-reed, the toD-keepsr shut the gate and refused to let the 'Volunteers through without payment of a toll levied thee* upon foot but ultimately the men were allowed to pees upca the commanding °Moen giving their cards, the maven being counted with a view, as the toll-keeper derkred, of IPERlMltitioic foe the toll, as it was • private road. Oa the two carps reaching the junction-road they separated, the 7th taking the Holloway-road, and the 29th that leading to Kentish-town, each giving the other several rounds of cheering.

Radcliffe, recently took place Some months ago that gentleman, with • view to the more_pirrfect organisation of his men and their effi ciently la drill, offered several prizes to he contested for the summer ; and Thursday h u t was appointed as the daring tall. The company mustered in full dress uniform and with area at two o'clock. at Hanley Hall, and from thence marched in military order, headed by their baud, to Wyddrington, Ealgtustoa, the residence of Sir John Retch". They were accompanied by Adjutant M'lnnis, Lieu tenant Armfiel.l Ensign Blaney, and quartennester C. J. Newey. the officers of the company, and by Colonel Sanders and Major Mason, and the officers of the battalion. On arching the ground they gave three hearty cheeks for Sir John and Lady Radcliff, sued their captain, who was in at temlance to welcome them on their amvid. The company took up their position in au enclosed field selected for the occasion, and the examination commenced and lasted for three hours. During that period the movement through company drill, the manual, platoon, and position drill, evinced . profbiency the attainment of which would seem to he incredible in so short • period. They were hearty in the work, and vigorously contested fur the prizes. The order of skirmishing was executed with great precision, the men moving to the sound of the bugle with the quick ness of practised soldiery. The position drill was excel lent, and proved • careful training on the pert of Sergeant-major Forsyth, and Sergeants Randall and Ward, who, with the adjutant, appeared highly plea se[ with the proficiency of the men. Alter the various pre scribed evolutions had been gone through, the adjutant as sembled the men around him to announce the result of the inspection, which had been of the most rigorous character. Previous to the distributionhe complimented the volunteers upon their soldier-like appearance and efiteency. He said he had watched their manoeuvres with great attention, as had also their officers, and he felt great pleasure in bearing his testimony to their general bearing and profie'ercy. The adjutant then awarded various prises for efficiency and punctual attendance at drill, which were heeded to the successful competitors by Lady Ratcliff, amidst the plaudits of the men and a luglily respectable company, who had assembled by invitation. The field exercises were brought to a close by two spirited races in which the whole of the volunteers contended for a handsome sum of money, subscribed by the spectators. The company and private friends of Captain Ratcliff then dispersed about the beautiful grounds of Wyddrington, and afterwards to the number of two hundred re-assembled to partake of dinner in a spacious marquee erected for the occasion. Captain flutchff presided, and was influentially supported. After the repast the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given by Captain Ratcliff, sad most heartily responded to by the volunteers.

At nearlra-put two, with the first pinching ' of the ebb, Mr. bargemaster of the Fish. mongers Company, gave the word "off," and the men went to work very rapidly. Rolles, who with Phelps had rather the best ht and Abbott having the wont—took a sli t lead, Phelps being second. Abbott then drew over a httle and became third man. There were a great many craft about, by which the young men were much hampered, but no accident happened. Between Lon don and Southwark bridges Phelps shook Rollos, who had slightly, as we have before stated, led, off, and went into the Stet place. Clyett then dashed by the rest, and went nearly up to Phelps'. scull, but immediately after wards fell astern. At Etlackfriars-bridge Phelps led by half-a-dozen lengths, Clyett being second.

The account written yeatertlay afternoon just before the departure of the boat for Southampton, left the yachts on their way to the eastward to complete their seemed course. Mae Arrow had then a lesil of about a minute and three quarters in advance of the Lulworth, and on their reappearance about five o'clock, they were still the leading remota, the Brunette and the Osprey not coming into view for some time afterwards. The Arrow had the weather pugs of her opponent, and before rounding the Calskot Light and the Brambles fore-reached her opponent, and on the subsequent twin across to the mark-boat in creased her lead. The breeze which had sprang up shortly before noon still held on, and favoured the progre a of the larger vessels almost as much an could be desired, but it was not enough for the Bra• nette, from which so much was expected, as neither she nor the Osprey had bore in sight. The time taken from Cowes as the two leading vessels pused the Calshot Light was as follows:—Arrow, sh. 35m. ; Lulworth, sb. 42m. 50a. The Arrow was thus 7 minutes 50 seconds ahead, and she increased her hied to the mark-boat at the western extra • mitt' of the course, which she rounded at fih. `22M. 30s. She soon ran down to the Hag-boat at Cowes roods, and about a minute before she pawed the goal her opponent rounded the boat at Egypt. The time of gunfire for the first two vessels at Cowes was thus taken :—Arrow, fib. 3&n. 50a. • Lalwortb, 6b. 49m. 50a. At the Rime time that the Lulvierth rounded at Egypt point the two smaller vessels were to be seen passing Calahot Light, mod soon afterwards the Brunette gave in and stood over to the roads, but the Osprey sailed the course, and arrived at Cowes one hour and twelve minutes after the Alarm, which vessel was of course declared the winner.

NormanAm,. WIDNENDAT. .• The execution of John Fenton for the murder of Charles Spencer, at Walk Notts, took place this morning in front of the County Geo Nottingham. At an early hour in the morning a great number of people aaiem bled in front of the scaffold, and by the time that the con demned man arrived with the gaol officials on the scaffold • vast crowd of men, women, and boys bad got together. The street is narrow in front of the scaffold, and the greatest precautions were used in erecting the barricades, in order to prevent a similar catastrophe taking place to that which occurred sixteen rears av, when eleven people were crushed or trampled to death. Some of the windows com mending a view of the place of execution were let at high rates. Many people took their places early on the previous night, staying within the barricades the whole of the time until the execution took place ; many came from the neigh-. bourhood of Walkeringbam, the scene of the murder, and the crowd was formed principally of people of the lowest clam. Previous to the execution the culprit was watched by an official night and day, and the Rev. W. Butler, the chap lain, devoted considerable time and energy in attending upon the unfortunate man, with a view of preparing him for the ordeal through which he bad to pass. These cello! , tattoos were listened to with the coolness and Indifference whi¢b h&ve his modest thrrighput. The Feat aim of the chaplain wee to urge upon hiria - to confer his crime. He frequently convened about the death of Spencer, but up to yester day bad made no confession, his manner and tone of voice however were those of a guilty man. He wrote two or three letters to his wife, inviting the whole of his faimly to come and visit him. His wife and mother have had two interviews with him • upon the latter occasion they were accompanied by his thr ee children. On Sunday, Fenton attended, along with the other prisoners, divine service in the chapel connected with the gaol. On Monday, at the prisoner's request, the Rev. Mr. Gorham, rector of Walkeringham, vested him ; the reverend gentle- man was with him form hour. _ At half-pat seven yesterday morning the wretched man, after parta ki ng of a slight breakfast, was removed from the condemned cell to the robing-room in the County Hall, where the executioner pinioned him in the presence of the sub-aheriff, the chaplain, the governor of the gaol, and the surgeon. Prayers suitable to the occasion were read by the chaplain, who with the gentlemen present were moved to tears. Fenton took an affectionate leave of all, and shook heads with the chaplain and governor of the gaol, saying that he harboured no malice against the hangman. He then moved with a Brm step from the robing-room to the main entrance of the County Hall, inside the rails of which the scaffold was erected. The prisoner advanced firmly with a steady step on to the trap door, placing himself without assistance immediately under the rope ; then, without appearing to glance at the crowd, he glued upwards as if in praer. The hangman immiately advanced to do his oboe, a n d at once drew the whitecap over his face. Whilst his legs were being tied the prisoner trembled slightly. The °holstein then ad vanced, and whispered some parting words in the dying man's ear. The executioner s lipp ed the fatal noose over the prisoner's head, and the next instant the drop fell. A few shrieks from the crowd, • quivering of the wretched culprit's leg and all was over. The crowd, which during s, the whole of the execution could not be termed disorderly, then dispersed. The condemned man was a native of Walkeringham, and half-cousin to the murdered man. Since the above account was written it has been ascer tained that the prisoner made the following statement to the governor of the gaol :—" On the evening of the 6th of March, between nine and ten o'clock, I left Gaimborough in company with James Fenton, no relation, though having the seine name as massif, • labourer, of Walkerin. When we arrived at - Morton we called at Mrs. Moat's public-house, where we had something to drink. I was so fresh that I wanted to stop all night at Merlon. James Fenton, however, persuaded me to go home. He said he would go home ; and so eventually I agreed to go with him. We left Morton about twenty or twenty-five minutes to ten o'clock. We arrived at Walkerwith Ferry just in time to go over. The usual time for the last bat going over is ten o'clock. When we got to the ferry we found there Messrs. Hudson, Mr. Charles Spencer (the deceased), and Mr. Henderson. I don't remember whether there was any one else there. I was very fresh at the time. We all went over the ferry together. When we got over JAIL Fenton and me walked up the Ferry-lase to the top, when we turned to see where the others were, to bid them good night. As they were at the same distance we turned to the right and went over the stile into Mr. Belton's field, which we crossed, as also 03... Grime's field. and over the stile into the lane leading from West into the top end of Walkeringham. I turned down towards home, which is in the direction of the bridge near the school, where the man who committed the murder stationed himself to wait for Mr. Spencer, as he expected that he would come on the turnpike ro ad, pest the church and school, that being his nearest way home. I had lent this man my pistols on • Tuesday morning ; I think it was the 2Sth of February. He had previously told me that he wanted to stop Mr. Spencer some time or other to get his money from him, but I did not think he would shoot him. He bad laid wait for Mr. Spencer before but dared not attack him, lest if he knew him be should have him apprehended. Instead of going into my house I stood a little time against the door, and thee went down the lane after the man who was wait ing for Mr. Spencer. When I got near Mr. Gainston's barn, and walked about • little, and hearing some footsteps, I went and stood against the barn beside the buttress. I listened, and hearing Mr. Spencer cough, I found that instead of going on the turnpike road he had turned down West-lane. Men ran on to the bridge, and told the man that Mr. Spen cer was coming the other way. He then went back to the hero side, and I went through a gate behind the house and barn into Mr. Gamston's field, and behind the stackyarrL When I got there I beard the shots fired, and at the same time I heard Mr. Wright's horses' footsteps coming down West. lane, near to John Grime's, as near as I could tell. I then ran to get out of sight towards and across Mr. Faker's garden, and across the road where Mr. Wright saw me, to my own house. If Mr. Wright had turned to the left, towards Mr. Gamston's farm, instead of turning to the right, be would have seen the murderer going on. I did not think the man I lent the pistols to would shoot him, and he must have cut his throat after I ran away. I would rather not say now who it was that murdered Mr. Spencer. lam only sorry that I ever lent the man my pistols, but I had no idea that be would ever have shot him with them. I got none of the money whatever.— (Sired) JOHN FOrl'ON. few minutes before he got on the scaffold the chaplain asked him if he had anything to say, to which he replied, "I have not said who committed the deed, but if you is al mention names I will tell you which of them it was. It was not James Fenton nor Hamill. I had rather not say who it was. I have acknowledged all to God. I pledged my word not to say who it was." A knife was fourd in his pocket some days ago, and when the governor removed it he said, " If I had that knife now I would never have gone to the scaffold." No doubt be meant to commit suicide. PIRACY IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. The following narrative of the extraordinary attempt at piracy on the schooner Flown, of Bideford, • brief account of which has appeared in our columns, in given in the Wester's Morning Nests of yesterday: "It appears that two men and • youngster of about seventeen years of age, having beard that the captain had rece , ved the money for his freight, and thinking or having been told that he had it on board, shipped diemselves with the view of obtaining it; and on Thursday evening, the 19th of July, they seized, as they thought, a favourable opportunity for that purpose. It was the captain's watch on deck, and one of the conspirutors, who was at the wheel from eight to ten, complaining of being cold, the captain offered to take his place whilst be went for his coat. He went for his coat accordingly, and concealed en iron bolt about his person. He resumed his position at the wheel, end the captain resumed his walk up and down the deck. Presently, softly, and suddenly, the would-be pirate sprang on the captain and knocked him down. Bfr. 13aladon, however, recovered his feet, seeing which both men rushed towards him to inflict another blow, but he succeeded in jumping down into the cabin, and at once caught up • pistol which he bad loaded the evening before, in consequence of these men endeavouring to got op ' • row,' wheu they were not able to emceed. They now battened down the captain in his cabin ; and as the nude was in his berth they thus confined both the app lain and the mate. They alio battened down the forecastle to prevent the other man interfering against them. The captain awoke the mate, but they could not get out of the cabin. The men commenced a parley, threatening to take the vessel to the coast of France, and run her ashore, and drown them. The mate proposed to the captain to ask them to allow him to come ou deck and inquire the cause of such extraordinary conduct, but be, fearing they would at orce kill the mate, was unwilling to consent to this. The mate said he knew he had not done them any harm, and he was not afraid of them. He then asked them if they would allow him to come up, to which they consented, on his showing that he bad no weapon about him. lie con vinced them and came on deck ; but as soon as he was there they seized him by the hands, and one stood over him with the iron bolt, telling him at the same time that if he made the least resistance they would smash his head, bat, as they said he had never injured them, they would not other wise injure him. They then tied the mete to the rigging, and demanded the money from the captain. He said he had very little on board. They said he had the money for his freight on board. The captain said he had not more than 81. 10s. on board. They said that would not do ; it was not enough to pay their expenses. The mate, who was within hearing, and • wit ness of all, called out, " The captain put the freight money in the bank the day before the vessel left the port." They then demanded the capticiu's gold watch and the 81. Ws., which were thrown up by the captain. They then took the boat sod sails, and some other things, includ ing the crowbar which they had used as a weapon, and • mallet, got into the boat, and sailed off. The captain soon afterwards broke open the cabin, came on deck, and released the mate. The boat by this time bad got out of reach. The boat has since bean found, and the boy taken to Exeter gaol for trial. The two men are supposed to be at Bemacombe, io the eastern part of Devonshire. They were Aluminum, from New Orleans, and one of them had lost two lalOrs from cos of his hands." THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Dawson • ;eryYOMiginiiT, said to be a shoe. maker, was charged with stealing a watch from the person of Ge orge: Bailey, a stoker at Truman and Hanbury's brewery. Between 9 and 10 on the previous evening, as the com plainant was leaving the Fenchurchetreet station of the Blackwell Railway, where he had just before arrived by an excursion train from Southend, he heard the bow of his watch snap. He observed the prisoner run across the road and try to escape in the crowd, but he followed and overtook him, and charged him with stealing his watch, which he denied ; but while they were bolding an altercation on the subject, he noticed the pri soner, who tarried a eclat over his arm, under coverof which be operated, truing to put something in the pocket of a man standing close by, which was afterwards proved to be the complainant's watch. The person into whose pocket he put the and whom for a moment he exposed to the sus picion of bar i ng an accomplice, was one George Green, • poulterer in Billimpgate-market, a simple-looking man, who happened to be at the station waiting the arrival of his boy by the excursion train. The prisoner denied that he was near Green at the time, but the complainant and Green both deposed to the contrary. He refused to date his address at first, but afterwards said he lived in Bakers-tow, Whitechapel, which was verified on inquiry. He oompied the first Boor of a house there with his wife amid child. . . . . Finding he was about to be convicted, the primucr im. placed the court to deal with him summarily, but Alderman Cubitt said he had determined to send him to the Central Criminal Court for trial, and Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, intimated that watch robberies had of late become so frequent in the City that the nagi.strates had resolved to commit every person apprehended on such a charge for triaL Henry Seaniforfh, recently a confidential clerk in the em ployment of Mr. James Harrison a silk warehouseman in Milk-street, Cheapside, surreaciered on a charge, twice before remanded, of embezzling money from his master to an amount variously estimated.; but on the application of Mr. Lewis the younger, his solicitor, he was again remanded until Tuesday, to admit of the examination of some dis puted 'mounts. In consequence, however, of certain alle 'Mime made by Mr. Beard, the solicitor for the prosecu tion, on as to the total sam which the pnruner is said to have embezzled, the amount of his bail was doubled, and he entered into re in 1001. each. In 2001. and two surctie; VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY. The report of the directors to the half-yearly meeting to be held on Wednesday next state, that the rail. way and bridge are now ready for public traffic, and that the works of the Brighton Company's station are fad advan cing towards completion. Unforeseen circumstances in connexion with the settlement of the station plane have occasioned a longer delay in the opening than wee anticipated. The share capital is, with the exception of • small amount, paid up ; the debentures are being placed at 4i per cent., for periods of three years. The bill which was promoted in the present session to authorise the amalgamation with the Brighton Company, referred to in the last report, was, upon the opposition of the Great Western and London, Chatham, and Dover Companies, rejected by the committee of the House of Commons. Under the Act of Incorpora tion, as the proprietors are aware, the Victoria Company have an agreement with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company for the payment by that company of car tate tolls for the use of the line and station for their traf fic, with • guaranteed minimum of 10,0001. per annum. The directors have to announce that they have since concluded a further arrangement with the London, Chatham, and Dover and Great Western Com panies jointly—the terms of which they have now the pleasure to lay before the shareholders,—namely :-1. The Victoria Company to complete the railway, and provide ade quate station accommodation for the London, Chatham, and Dover Company by the Ist of October next; to be either temporary or permanent, until 1862. 2. The Victoria Com pony to provide • permanent station, by the Ist of April, 11462, for the London, Chatham, and Dover, and Great Western Companies ; and to lease the same in perpetuity to the two companies. 3 The total expenditure of the Vic toria Company upon the station accommodation, both tem perary and permanent, to be limited to 105,000/. 4. The Victoria Company to appropriate and lease to the two com panies certain additional lands on the mat side of the station. 5. The London, Chatham, and Dover Company to have the nse of the line and station for their traffic, from the let of October, 1860, to the let of April, 186`2, subject to the Brighton agreement ; and the London, Chatham, and Dover, and Great Western Companies to have the right in perpetuity of using the railway free of tolls for their traffic, subject to the Brighton agreement, and to clause 8. 6. The two companies to pay rent in lieu of tolls for the use of the railway and station end additional land, at the fol lowing rates, namely:—For the period between the let of October, 1860, and Ist of April, 1861, at the rate of 13,2601. per annum ; from the lab of April, 1861, to the 31st of March, 1862, 18,0001.; from the Ist of April, 1862, for one year, 20,250/. ; from the Ist of April, 1863, for one year, 22,5001. ; from the Ist of April, 1864, for one year, 24,750/. ; from the let of April, 1865, for one year, 27,0001.; from the Ist of April, 1888, for one year, 29,250/ ; from the Ist of April, 18b7, yearly in perpetuity, 32,0001. 7. The rent to he payable half-yearly. 8. In OM the two companies shall bring the traffic of the London and North Western Com pany into their station, the Victoria Company is to be en titled to the ...me tolls for that trafila as would be payable by the Brighton Company to the Victoria Company in the event of such traffic being admitted into the Brighton Corn pary's station. 9. The two companies to beer all expenses of maintenance of the station, and pay all rates and taxes, except peoperty tax. The expenses of maintaining the line, and the rates and taxes thereon, to be paid in fair proportions the several companies using the line in the manner provided by the act of incorporation. 10. The expanse of this agreement, and of an art of parlia ment, if nxewry, to be borne in equal thirds by the three companies. 11. The existing agreemeut with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company to be annulled on this agree ment being earned out. An act of parliament will be re quired to confirm the agreement, and will be applied for in the next erasion. From estimates on which the directors can confidently rely, they are able to state that the total expenditure in respect of which the above annual payments will be receivable will not exceed 500,0001. Amounting that the must proportion of debenture debt be borrowed at the ordinary rate of such securities, %tie s ! natidactory divi dend will be realised for the share • Estimated at a minimum of 5,000 i. per annum. MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELEGRAPH COMPANY. The report of the director" of this company states that the financial position of the company has improved, although the receipts for meesages have been seriously affected by the disturbances in Sicily. The last report stated that Xesara. Newell and Co. were willing to under take the operation of repairing the Corfu cable ; but there being now no probability of that firm despatching one of their vessels to the Mediterranean this season, the directors have renewed their application to Marra Glass, Elliot, and Co., on the subject. At the same time, seeing the in convenience to which her Majesty's government hare been put by the want of a direct telegraphic communication between Malta and Corfu, she director! addre,sed the Vea -1 sure, and submitted • proposal to lay down a new line from Corfu to Otranto, by which the two islands would be connected rid Italy and Sicily, and the original route for Indian messages become again available. The reply of the Secretary of the Treasury, on behalf of the government, conveyed their approval of the scheme, and their readiness, i.o .c l: o nj as the new cable should work efficiently, to pay th e sec ond moiety of the subsidy , — that is, 3,600 f. per annum, thus renewing the entire payment of 7,200/. per annum. This enabled the directors to enter into a negotiation with Menus. Gleam, Elliot, and Co., for the proposed line, upon terms which will be submitted to the meeting for approval. Messrs. Class, Elliot, and Co. are already large holders of the preference shares of this company ; and they have for. thee offered, in • moot liberal spirit, to receive the entire cost of laying down the new cable in preferential bearing the same interest of 8 per cent. ; and it will the ye. fore be optional with any of the shareholders to take a part of this new stock, or to allow the whole to go to the contractors. Messrs. Glaas,Elliot, and Co. have, at the same time, agreed to attempt the restoration of the Malta and Corfu line ori the following terms successful, that they be paid thu sum of 3,0001. ; if unsuccessful, that they shall recover as much of the cable as possible, and be entitled to one half of its value when realised. And further, the same firm is , upon the same conditions , to recover the remnant l o ' f " tre re G El agliari and Malta cable, which now Sivas little hope of being finally restored. In coaclusion, while the directors deeply regret that, in the present position of the company, they cannot recommend a dividend upon the original shares, they propose that the interest due to the preference 'here• holders be paid forthwith, as to them the company is in. debted for the present receipt, 3,600/. per annum, from her Majesty's government, owing to the continued e ffi ciency of the line between Malta and Sicily, for the construction of which those shares were created. MARKETS. COTTON.-141N7RPOOL, A cuusr I.—We have no change to notice in our market to-day.

WOOL—LIVERPOOL, AUGUST I.—Since our last public sales terminating on the 4th of July, of which we then have detailed report, the wool market has been rather quiet, although good useful current descriptions continue to meet reedy salsas they arrive, at fall prices. Stocks of all descriptions are very moderate, and the firm tone prevail ing at the public sales now proceeding in London has tended to increase the firmness of holders in this market. East India is in good demand, particularly the finer qualities, and the small available stocks of second-hand wool are very inadequate to supply the requirements of the trade. Sales of Peruvian sheep's wool continue to be made at very full prices, and in alpaca some sales are reported at medium quotations. Turkey, Smyrna, dull of sale, and for Egyptian there is less inquiry, but prices remain firm. Russian Donskoi fleece neglected, good lamb, and autumn saleable but scarce ; for Buenos Ayres the inquiry is limited, the finer qualities are, however, saleable at full rates. Portugal and Spanish in good request, some parcels of well-washed Spanish frontier have sold readily at full quotations. Oporto and Castlebranco are also very sale. able, stocks light and prices very firm—other sorts without change. English and Irish in fair request, but the high rates ruling at all the fairs (where most of the wool has changed bands) makes manufacturers act with caution, and the market is quiet at about previous quotations. The public sales of colonial wool in London, which commenced on the 19th July, are progressingfavourebly,notwithstand ing the large quantity to be offered, which, before the close, will amount to about 90,000 bales ; a very convincing proof of the healthy and prosperous state of the trails generally.— From W.
