ice [bhp the to ish as kld :to, nd nd - is- - fatal policy of the Ministers, and the revolu tionary theories encouraged by Count Cavour's emaduct at the Congress of Paris, in 1856, as well as by the diplomatic intervention in Naples, to which he was a party. He censured the publication of Orsini's last letter in the Pied montese official gazette. Italy, said he, would indignantly repel the affection and services of a malefactor by whom she bad been dishonoured. (Murmurs.) If the bill had been proposed before those urgent demands had been addressed to the Piedmontese government by France, the conserva tive members might have approved of it, but a feeling of national self esteem would now induce them to oppose it, although he thought the conduct of the cabin( bad merited the foreign pressure to which it was exposed. He severely criticised the second portion of the bill, enabling the government to choose, through the syndics, the jurymen to try offences of the press. However, he would have such cases tried by the tribunals, and not by a jury ; for otherwise the law would be a sheer illusion. He would frankly say to France that Piedmont was not willing to alter her laws ; but, when it should be consistent with the dignity of the govern ment and called for by the circumstances of the country, he would pass a law by which their power ful ally might be satisfied, and a disposition shown to preserve intact the bonds of international amity. Signor BOCfGIO said that the bill gave rise to two questions of a different order, one political, and the other politico-legal. ff the bill were imposed on them by a foreign power, he should be the first to reject it ; but he saw no proof of that pressure from abroad on which the majority of the commit tee founded its motives for proposing the rejection of the measure. There was nothing on the part of France but a request full of dignity, made after the attempt of the 14th January. No pressure could be said to exist, unless the application were made unjustly, or in a manner insulting to the in dependence of the country. As the government had presented this bill, its rejection might be at tended with serious consequences both at home and abroad. It would be a disastrous precedent for theinterests of the country to cause a ministerial crisis on a foreign question. The consequences abroad Qf so doing would be isolation with respect to other countries. The sole support that Piedmont and the Italian cause possess abroad is France, for Englandhas joined Austria and abandoned us; there is no other support to us but France—France governed by Napoleon 111., whose lively sympathy to Italy is well known. After having pointed out the danger of isolation for Piedmont, the lion. de puty terminated in these words :—But what is asked from us, after all, by this bill ? Simply to brand with reprobation acts of conspiracy and assasina ton, Well, then, I declare that it is an honour for us to vote for retch a principle. There is incontes tably an omission on this point in our legislation, and it is our duty to supply it. As to what con cerns the organisation of the jury, I may make some reserv es , but I shall certainly suppo r t th e amend ment Which proposes to bring before the jury offences against religion. Count MAMIANI began by remarking that trial by jury, which Count Margherita had pronounced a sheer illusion, had existed in France for the last fifty years ; aad although the lion. gentleman la mented the "barbarism and corruption" of his own country, Piedmont was not less deserving than France of having the jury system extended to the trial of all offences. The hon. gentleman seemed to think that the national dignity was at the pre sent day. compromised. It was, indeed, easier to take care of the national dignity in former times, 'When Piedmont was so dumb and so insignificant that foreign states took no notice of her—when no free press or parliament existed at whose utterance anybody might take offence, and when the govern ment could send thousands of muskets and dollars to aid the Carlist cause in Spain, without risk of a protest against it from public opinion. How ever, it was not the Right but the Left side of the chamber on which the real adversaries of the bill wore to be found. Addressing, therefore, his friends on that side who were influenced by the *view s set forth in the majority report of the corn inittee, Signor Mamiani stated his various reasons for supporting this measure. He agreed in the gene ral principle, that the objects of penal jurisdiction should be limited to the social necessities of their own country, though in the cases of forgery of I foreign money, and infringement of certain police I regulations, the injury done to foreign countries al5O was admitted into consideration. But he Isoacon tendedcil that it was th e hi g h es t i n t erest, and first necessity of every country, to tak e care net to allow the principles of universal justice to be violated, and not to exhibit the deplorable spec tacle of a criminal action wrongly remaining un punished. Now, what was the principle embodied 4 n the first pa r t o f thi s bill ? It was s i mp l y this— nest 'whoever conspired or p r ep are d t o t a k e away "e life of the chief or ruler of a foreign nation should be deemed guilty, and liable to punishment. "I must say," conti nue d th e h o n oura bl e gentle tun "that to d ou bt o f th e j ust i ce o f suc h a law would be to go against the universal con science- of all good men.

D oes it seem reasonable that by the laws of the press we should provide for the decorum of foreign „,,, 131 rv ; i 4. ll ,ees, and that we should yet leave thei r li ves " 41 ° 11 t defence ?

The advices received from most of the manufac turing districts this morning report that a slight improvement has taken place on the demand for several descriptions of fabrics. At Manchester buyers of cloths suitable for the Indian markets have shown more disposition to operat:, but the prices they offer are too low to meet the require ments of manufacturers and spinners. In yarns there has been very little animation, and prices, it is expected, will rule lower. The woollen cloth trade at Leeds has exhibited no ma terial change. In the various cloth halls there had been a fair attendance of buyers : including the agents of some large London houses, but they had operated with considerable caution and only in light goods suitable for the present season, but the improvement id the weather has caused more brisk ness in trade generally. Business at Brad ford, however, has not exhibited much alte ration. There has been a slight improvement in worsted yarns for export, but the terms offered by merchants are so low that the spinners complain that no profit can be realised at present rates. For 0 Ambg.

There has been an increase in the demand for manufactured iron for home use, but in the various fancy trades connected with the town there is only a slight amelioration.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with an animated appearance, and prices of all de scriptions were rather firmer. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. Rail way shares also exhibited a slight upward tendency. There has been rather more demand for money during the last few days, both in Loinbird street and at the Bank of England, owing to the prepara tions mnde for a large number of commercial bills connected with the East India trade, which are now arriving at maturity. The supply, however, continu, s abundant, and the terms charged for the negotiation of good bills are still very moderate. The supplies of Australian and other gold will tend to keep financial affairs in an easy position, not withstanding the prospect of a loan. Great anxiety is felt to ascertain the amount that will be required to provide for the expenditure of the year.

The Piedmontese government well knew that its policy displeased certain powers which were interested in maintaining the slavery of Italy, and he considered it indispen , able that Piedmont should keep up good and strong alliances. The first and the second republic in France had never done any thing for Italy, while the Neapolitan dynasty had always shown itself more favourable. The Presi dent of the Council concluded by declaring that the ministry made this bill a cabinet question, as the ministers who presented it considered themselves incapable of bringing in a measure contra!y to the dignity of the nation. It is generally thought that the effect of the speech of Count Cavour will be to secure the adoption of the bill. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION. -THE QI:TEEN V. SIB J. A. MORRIS, BART. . - In this case Mr. Bevil Q.C., applied to the court on behalf of a Chancery barrister whose name did not trans pire, for a rule calling upon Sir J. A. Morris to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for writing and sending that gentleman a letter, of which the following is a copy : " Carlton Club, Pall-Mail, London, March, 18, 1858. " Sir,--I herewith, until flit, Vice Chancellor has delivered hii judgment in re Morris v. Morris, writs to express to you my opinion concerning yourself, which is, that a more coutemptable scoundrel than yourself exists not. " Wordy would be lost upon you, so I say no more than that I fervently hope and trust that God will mete out t you a due punish ent for concocting and writing the sill fahehoods and calumnies you did at the ex aminers office. "If your employers instructed you to throw out the poison, then I trust they will be equally punished with your cont , roptible self during your respective life time. In the next 'ifs it is not difficult to foretell the part of such unmitigated liars, scoundrels, and defamers such as you and they must be considered by all men not barristers." "Jowl A. Moms" Lord CAmpbell asked the learned counsel if he applied on the ground that the letter was a libel upon the whole profession. He remembered when at this bar that an application was made in respect of a libel on a company of brewers, but I suppose you do not rely on the general charge contained i❑ the letter ? Mr. Bovill said the bar generally, and, he believed, the ,olictors, did not assume the charge to themselves. The letter no doubt was written in consequence of cer tain proceedings in Chancery, instituted by Sir J. A. Morris against his mother, Dame Julia Morris, relative to family affairs, and with Sir John considered the bar rister in question, and those who instructed him, had insinuated that he was not legally married, and copse qua t'y that his son was illegitimate. Tue application m tde w,th a view of preventing a breach of tt• peac.. Rule granted. In the the other courts nothing of interest occurred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. JUVENILE THIEVES AND MARINE STORE DEALERS.— John Styres, 13, and Mary Ann Gray, 42, a marine store dealer, of Robert-street, in the neighbourhood of the Court, were again brought up, the former charged with stealing 85 leads from 22 and 32, Grosvenor mews, the prcpetty of air r. Newman, and the latter with re ceiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. From the evidence it appeared that, the lead being missed from the premises, inquiries were made which led to the apprehension of the boy, who owned be sold it at the shop of the female prisoner. Police-constable Peady then went t 3 the prisoner Grey's shop, and asked her if she had purchased anything of the boy. At first she said some pieces of brass, and then some pieces of iron. On the officer's further pressing her, she said only some bits of lead—a pound or two. He then asked her whether that was all, but as she prevaricated in her answers, he made a search, which led to the discovery of a large quantity of lead, some brass tobacconist's scales, and other articles. Mr. E. W►lmott, agent for the property, residing in Davies-street, Berkeley-square, said the lead found was only a purtion of that stolen. Mr. Bingham] said although the boy had been several times convicted, and the woman was seemingly reApect able, he looked upo❑ her as far the wort, fur it wa , very scandalous that she should purchase such things of a mere boy. as she must have been aware they were stolen. He should order her to pay the sum of 51., or two months, and the boy he should send to prison also for two months. The boy has several times been convicted. THAMES. AN ARTFUL FEMALE SWINDLER.—After the dispo , al of the night charges at 12 o'clock, Ann Habb, a little woman tressed in black, and with a bloated face, wa , brought np on remand before Mr. Yardley charged with obtaining money by false pretences in a very adroit manner. For the last five months there have been numerous inquiries at every police-station in the metropolis after a "littli woman dressed in black, with a bloated face," who Lad committed numerous frauds. On Saturday the 10 hit at. she was csuyht. She apolied to Dr. Horton, of High-street, Stepney, for a couple of pills and a black draught for her " Missus," who she said lived close by, and requested him to send his errand boy with the merli c:ne and charge for a sovereign. The prisoner met the boy within a few yards of the place to which he was directed asked him for the change, which he delivered to her, and, pointing , ut the house of her " naissus," said, "go there and deliver the medicine and ask for a sovereign." She would have got away with the change, as she bad done in numberless other instances, but fortunately Mr. Horton, who had suspected her, had sent his assistant to watch her motions, and he gave her into custody di rectly after she obtained the change. John Pritchett, a boy in the service of Mr. Henry Cavendish, grocer and cheese-monger, Mile-end-road, said the prisoner came to la's master's shop on the 25th of March and ordered a pound of fifteen penny butter, to be sent to No. 12, Cottage-grove, Mile-end, with change for a sovereion. He way on his way to Cottage. grove with If ei butter and the change, when the pri soner met him and asked if he had the eggs, to which he replied in the negative. She asked him for the change, which he delivered to her, and she told him to proceed to No. 12, C At:we Grove, deliver the butter, and ask Betsy, the cook, fora sovereign. When he arrived at No. 12, and made known the errand he bad come upon, he was informed that nothing was kr own of the prisoner, nor had any orders been i-sued for butter and eggs. There were several other cases of a like nature against the prisoner, who had distributed her favours over all pa - ts of the metropolis. The prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprison ment.

Other articles have sold steadily, at extreme rates. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to 3,671 quarters of wheat, 11,150 of barley, 20,725 oats, 8,028 beans, 150 peas, 250 linseed, 1,005 oilseeds, 5 mus tard, 170 sundry seeds, and 2,223 sacks of flour. The supplies of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, though somewhat in excess of Monday last, were only moderate ; but the general condition of the samples was good. Al though the stands were by no means largely supplied, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled very inactive, and prices were from 28 to 3s per qr. lower than on this day se'nnight. We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat, notwithstanding that the fresh arrivals last week were very moderate. Even the three: samples met a dull in• quiry, and prices must be considered Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than ou Monday last. Floating cargoes of grai❑ sold slowly, at about late , rates. IRENCE SHARES. The show of both English arid Foreign barley was only moderate, and the barley trade ruled steady at full quota tions. No quotable change took place in the value of malt, but all kinds were a slow inquiry. There was an increased quantity of foreign oats on offer, but the supply of English was limited. Most kinds were in fair request on former terms. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady request, at full prices. The fleur trade ruled heavy, at barely last week's cur rency.

Sales were with difficulty effected at low currencies. For the time of year, the arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh up this morning were extensive, and in excellent condition. Owing to the thin attendance of both town and country butchers, and the heaviness in the demand i❑ the dead markets, the beef trade ruled heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quo tations realissd on Monday last of 4d. per Sib., the top figure being only Is., and a large portion of the supply was turned out unsold. From Norf..lk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we receivsd 2,800 Scots and shorthorns; from other pats of England, 'AO of various breeds ; from Ireland, 230 oxen ; and from Scotland, 340 Scots. There was by far the largest show of sheep on any mar ket day during the whole of the year, and the quality of mast breeds was good. As regards the mutton trade, we may observe that it was unusually depressed, and prices, compared with this day se'ennigbt, fell from 2d. to 4d. per 81b. A few very inferior Downs sold at 55., but the gene ral top figure for mutton, in the wool, did not exceed 4x. per 81b. Out of the wool, the extreme price was 4s. 4d. per 81b. . _ . Lambs were iu fair average supply and maderate re quest, at ss. Bd. to 6s. Bd, per 81b., being 4d. per 81h. lower than on Monday last. From tho Isle of Wight, 310 head came to hand. There was a slow inquiry for calves, the show of which was only moderate at Thursday's &chi.° in valve of 4d. and 6dl. per 81b. In pigs, so little was doing that the quotations were al- most nominal.

Full average supplies of potatoes have come to hand since Monday last, coastwise and by railway. The reports from the continent have been again extensive—viz., 310 lons from Dunkirk, 390 from Rouen, 35 from Calais, 90 from Fernenzen, 83 from Bruges, 160 from Ghent, 90 from Louvaine, and 650 from Antwerp. The demand generally is in tctive, at oar quotations.

BOROUGH HOP. Our market is still heavily supplied with nearly all kinds of hops. However, the demand generally may be consi dered steady, but far from active, at last week's currency. Since Monday last 64 bales have arrived from Hamburg. New Mid and East Kent Pockets, 70s to 112 s ; Weald of Kent do., 54s to 765; New Sussex do., 52s to 60. ; 21s to 506. WOOL. The next series of Colonial wool sales is appointed to commence on the 29th inst. The stock here is 44,2 '8 bales— viz., 10,95?, Sydney ; 12,807, Port Philip ; Van Dietnan's Land ; 11,145, South Australian ; and 7,480 Cape. The quantity expected to be offered is 60,090 bales. Our market is consequently heavy in the extreme, and most kinds of wool may be purchased on lower terms. Last week's imports were very larger —viz., 1,009 bales from Melbourne, 5,029 from Adelaide, 1,566 from Port Wakefield, 2,393 from Sydney, 859 from Algoa Bay, and 21 bags from Mogadore. SEEDS. Clover seed moves off steadily at fully last week's cur rency. Trefoil is held for fully late rates. Linseed and tapeseed are in moderate request, and prices, in some in stances, on the advance. In other seeds nothing of im portance has taken niece. A fair business has been done in cakes at our quotations.

SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET. Ae I write, the prospect of a pleasant week is most ' cheering. Early on this April morning the Inn iN shining with unclouded brightness, and the song of b:rd comes through my open window. A peep into the lane and I pi rceive strings of horses passing towards the Heath, and many people are already wending their way in tee direceiOn of the exercise ground to take stock of the Two Thousand horses. The town is pretty will filled with visitors, and doubtless, by the arrival of this morning's train, every hotel will be crowded. My Notes must be of very scanty dimensions, for I have been able to pick up only the most unconsidered trifles. On Saturday Toxopholite and the Peer had a rough gallop over the Two Thousand coarse ; Flatmaa was ore the former and Sam Templetnan on the latter. Both went remarkably well, and Newmarket, to a man, is in love with The Peer. The withdrawal of " Tox" is corfidently expected. Still people are dissatisfied that be should be left in the market to be milked. Hepatica and Antiquary were tried toga. th r—the former it is fancied will win the One Thousand. Clydesdale arrived yesterday, but I have yet had no op po tunity of seeing him gallop. So far as looks go no horse could be fitter, and 1 am inclined to share the core fidence which his owner places in his chance. Raven stondale and Fitzroland have attracted much attention. The latter is a small compact horse and may tun well. People regard Lord of Lorn with some suspicion, Happy Land, I believe, is much fancied by his party, but after his running at Northampton I am compelled to look upon his staying qualities with considerable doubt. The parti•ans of Findon and of Whitewall are equally confidential. The Peer has, perhaps, the larger number of adherent. I have never wavered in fondness for Clydesdale, and despite the sinister reports in circula tion, shall stick to bins until he prove unworthy of my confidence. I shall therefore select CLYDESDALE for the winner, and recommend an investment on Ethic). plan and Fitz Reland " for a place." Saraband is " turned loose" for the Handicap Sweep stakes, T.Y.C., but he appears to have lost all forgo. New Brighton and Schismatic may have their numbers hoisted at the judge's chair arter the race. I may hay. an opportunity of discussing fully the chances for th• One Thcusand on Wednesday. Should no such op portunity present itse'f I must stand to my present " t fancy" for HEPATICA and PEUPECTION. A FRESH MAN. Newmarket, Monday Morning.

GOVERNMENT PROSECUTIONS OF WRITERS AND PRIX TERS.—Have we not ourselves—every boy and man of u' -either at Eton or Cambridge, discussed tyrannicide I The truth is, the right to debate this question, like many another, lies far beyond codes and courts of law, and the attempt to prosecute writ-rs and printers on eucb a ground can only bring disaster and disgraoe on the Ce,vernment. What then ? Are we to com promise ourselves with assassins I Not at all. We do net approve S. cialism, but we allow Fourrier'e works to appear. We object to polygamy, yet tolerate Mor mon newspapers. We deplore the table-turning that turns so many heads, yet we could not prosecute "the Spirit ealist." Let those who are hurt act. A remedy for every wrong i 4 at hand. If the press is free, the coui is are open. If any one is menaced or defamed, let him seek protection ; but let him seek it in his own • name, and let him hear the odium of failure, should he fail to prove his case. England has no need just now for exceptional measures—no cause to tbrow herself into revolutionaty convulsions. The mass of public intelli cence is too vast, and has too much momentum to be disturbed by individual freaks. Let those prosecute who fancy they need protection.—Athenceurn.
