ONEY. MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday a very firm appearance was manifested, and prices of all descriptions tended upwards. The sales were esti mated at from 12,000 to 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The railway share market closed steadily, and quotations were without any mate rial alteration. About 12,0001. in Australian gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. It is expected that the greater portion of the gold brought by the Copenhagen will he taken for the continent. Business in the silver market is restricted, and bars are quoted ss. Id. per oz. standard. Owing to the payment of the 1,000,0001. due to day upon the Indian loan, there has been an increased demand for discount accommodation in Lombard-street and also at the Bank. Th's addi tional inquiry, however, is merely temporary, for in the existing state of the market, the subscription of a million sterling cannot exert much influence, especially as the money will almost immediately be distributed, in liquidation of the Company's engagements. The whole amount of 5,000,000/. will after all be merely a transfer from one class to another, as the loan will only be sufficient to enable the directors to meet their payments as they fall due. The distribution of the dividends to the public commences to-day, and this will assist to increase the supply of money in the open market, and partially counteract the effect of the Indian Loan subscription. No alter ation has taken place in the current rates, despite the increased applications of money, and really good bills are in request at 21 per cent. Many persons still retain the impression that the mini • mum will be reduced eventually to 21 per cent , but this opinion is not general, nor, so far as can las judged at present, is it likely to prove correct. Some doubt is expressed whether the whole of the call on the Indian Loan will be subscribed very readily, as some of those who offered 99 will be lo'h to give it when the Bonds are 981 1. If this im pre.ssion should be verified, however, the difficulty will be only temporary, for the securities are getting popular, and are likely to attain a still more satis factory premium. For some days past the embarrassments of an ex tensive brewing establishment have been the sub ject of general conversation, more especially amongst the trade. It appears, however, that the private property of one of the partners is very considerable, and, if disposed of, which will no doubt be the case within a short period, the creditors will ultimately receive the full amou ;t of their claims, and this eminent firm will be enabled to continue their business. This event has caused deep regret, as it was least expected, and seeing the numbers of people dependent o n the establishment, it will be a source of satisfaction to the public to hear of arrangealents being made which will enable ' the firm to surmount their difficulties. The funds remain heavy at about the closing prices of yesterday. Business is very dull, and a few operations seem to have a marked effect. There is no disposition to operate for a fall, and those who entertain a favourab!e opinion of affairs are afraid to buy, owing to the flatness at Paris, the Budget, and the possibility of a loan. Consols have been 961 t, and 96a for money; for account they are marked 961 b. They are now 96 and 96g / respectively, being firmer. The New 3 per Cents. are 96A ; the Reduced 95i ; and Indi a L oan D e b entures, India Bonds are 20s. to 225. prem. ; and the June Exchequer Bills, 355. to 395. prem. The transactions recorded in the Foreign Stock Market are not very numerous, and prices have nearly all declined. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 100 to 1001 ; and the 4 per Cents., 104 ; Venezuela 41 per Cents. are 311 ; Dutch 2i per Cents., 65i ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 811 ; Portuguese 3er Cents., 45g. ; Buenos A ires 6 per Cents. p , 77i F Chilean 6 per Cents., 1021 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 72 ; and Spanish Passive, 7.

IN RE NASH.-IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO DISCHARGE FROU CUSTODY, This bankrupt formerly carried on business as a wine merchant in College-hill, and his certificate was sus pended for two years, without protection for six months, and a certificate was granted to a creditor on which bankrupt was arrested and lodged in the Queen's Bench prison. He had only been in custody eleven days, but the six months having expired Mr. Lowrance now applied for protection, which would operate as a die , charge. Mr Bayley opposed on the ground that the bank rupt had kept out of the way to avoid being arrested, and theref me was not entitled to protection. Mr. Lawrance was instructed to deny thig, and sub mitted that the Court not only bad the power to grant the protection, but could not travel out of its own order which had been carried out, and it had been held by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd that where protection had been refused for a given time if the creditors did not avail themselves of their power to imprison a bankrupt, the bankrupt was entitled to protection after the time for which it had been suspended. His Honour said he inclined to that view, but there must be an affidavit that the bankrupt bad not kept our of the way. The case was adjourned for affidavits on both sides.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BASE INGRATITUDE. —Mary Ann Ilardingham was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a brooch, of the value of 31., the property of Mary Ann Stacey, under the f llowing circumstanoes : The prosecutrix said she resided at Church-street, Soho, and that her husband, as well as the prisoner, was employed by Mr. Lucas, at the Music Hall, Piece d 1:y. On tne previous day, meeting the prisoner as she was coming from taking her husband's dinner, she invited her tome to dine with her, and af , ,erward pressed her to stay to tea, which she coneentkd ti do. In the course of the afternoon she showed the prisoner a brooch her husband had presented her with, and after the prisoner had 1 iok,d at it she (The prosecutrix) put. it in a drawer al )ng with her husband's watch. Thinking to make the prisoner comfortable, she went out to get some thing for tee, being absent only a few minutes. On going to the drawer a few minuted afterwards, she mis-ed the brooch. She then sent for her husband, who with a policeman searched the place ; and, as the brooch could not be found, and as she had no doubt the prisoner had taken it, she was afterwards given into custody. Police-constable Shaugnessy said he searched the place everywhere, but could not fi❑d the brooch. The prisoner said sbe knew nothing about it. The prisoner said she had seen the brooch, but was not aware where the prosecutrix put it, and that no one came into the room while she was left in its care. Mr. Bingham said he had no doubt if the prisoner was remandtd, the brooch would be found at the pawn broker's. Remanded. MARKS LlZW3.—(rius Day.) CORN EX6HANGE.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton and Mr. Justice Bytes, THE HAYMARKET MURDER. Giovanni Lani, a native of Duomo d'Ossola, on the Lago di Comm°, was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Heloise Thaubin, in the Haymarket. Tue prisoner is 21 years of age. He stands about 5 feet 10 inches high, and his appear ance is as youthful as his age would imply. He is rather a good-looking young man, of rather sallow complexion, without beard or moustache, but with jet black hair. He wore an Italian cloak and cloth gloves. His demeanour in Court was more sedate than at the police -court ; and he appeared to be impressed with the awful position in which he stood —that of his bei ng t r i e d f or hi s lif e f or the murder lof the unfortunate woman above-named. The Court was densely crowded. There were a number of well-dressed gentlemen present, and guessing from their dress and the quantity of whisker and moustache worn by them—if that now be a test—they appeared to be foreigners. The Sardinian Consul was present, and watched the proceedings on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke prosecuted, Mr. Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Austin defended the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin, in stating the case to the jury, said that the prisoner, in the exercise of his discretion, had chosen to be tried by a jury of Englishmen, instead of half Englishmen and half foreigners, as he had a right to claim, and he (the learned coup el) was sure the prisoner would receive at their hands strict and impartial justice. The deceased woman was one of those unfortunate women who infested the West End of London, and lodged in Arundel-place, in a house kept by a woman named Levy, who followed the same course of life as the deceased. In order to attract the unwary, the deceased woman was in the habit of wearing certain ar ides of jewellery which would be proved to have an important bearing on the case. Tuere were other articles of clothing which would also have a material connection with the inquiry. The learned counsel detailed the crime, connected with the prisoner's appearance and conduct in the house, and with the victim of the alleged murder, and said that he should be prepared to prove the facts he bad stated by the most ample evidence. He also detailed the circumstances connected with the extraordinary capture at Gravesend, when on the point of sailing for Monte Video. Interpreter; having been sworn, The first witness called was Julie Levy, a foreign Jewess. She said—l am the landlady of No. 8, Arundel-court, and have been so for about four months. I knew the deceased Heloise Thaulsin. She lodged in my house. I first knew her about three months ago, when she came to lodge with me. Deceased got her living by seeing gentlemen. She occupied the front room on the third floor of my house. On the night of the 23d February I was walking in Charles-street, Haymarket, about ten o'clock. Heloise Thaubin was also in the streets at that time. The prisoner spoke to me in Charles-street, and we conversed together for some minutes. I had my watch and chain on, and seve ral rings . on my fingers. The prisoner asked me if I was a Frenchwoman, and I said no. I th. n spoke to him in German, but he did not reply. I then pointed out to him my residence, and we walked up and down the Haymarket together. About half-past ten o'clock I was in Arundel court. I saw the prisoner there. He was talking with two women at the door of my house —one of them was the deceased. At 11 o'clock the prisoner came to my house in Arundel-court alone. He knocked at the door and asked fir "M,ldarne." I was in my parlour at the time with an old lady. The door was opened by my servant, Anne Brown, and on seeing the prisoner 'recognised him imme diately. The prisoner said he came to pass the night with me. I did not entertain his proposals, partly from expecting a friend, and partly because he only offered me ten francs, which I considered too little at that early hour. The ;prisoner said to my servant, Anne 8r0w.4, " Well, then, I will sleep with the woman I spoke to in the court. Tne servant went to find the deceased, and, meet ing with her in Waterloo-place, brought her to the house, and the prisoner and the deceased went up stairs to the bedroom of the deceased, hut I did not see them go into the room together. I did not see the deceased again alive. She wore a watch and chain, and bad on two rings, one with a while the other with a red stone. Cross-examined—l had kept this house about six months, but I have left it and sold the furniture. I never kept such a home before in England or atnoad. Four gay women lived in the house. Deceased had no jewellery of her own. I don't know where the gay women bought their dresses, tli-y 7.'273 tlr.ir own. There was a man named Mouton living in the heu,e. He came to see Virginie Sylvestre. i think had another home. I don't know if Mouton slept in the house always, as I do not tr:Aible myself with my lodgers at all. The ladies pay me weekly for their lodgings ; none of them were iu debt to me at the time. I don't know if Mouton was in ilia house at eleven o'clock that night. Mr. Disher, the husband of one of the women, who lived in the house with her, is a tailor, and works out of the house. I don't know if Disher and his wife quarrelled that night. The witness then gave the names of the persons living in the house at the time, and the apartments they occupied. Juliet e lived in the bask garret ; the deceased in the front garret. The second floor was occupied by Madame Sylvestre, and the back by Madame Disher. The first floor (two rooms) was occupied by a Belgian woman, but I don't know her name. I think her name was Anne, but I don't know, ss she had not lived there long. I was the landlady of the house but the servant let the rooms. The Belgian wo man was a fray woman. She met a lover at her house. I b believe he was a Frenchman. I saw the Belgian woman's lover on the night the deceased visited Heloise. I recollect now, it was the night following the death of Heloise that the Frenchman came. I recollect it became I was so bad. I don't know if the Belgian woman was in the house the night of HeL ise's death. I took no particular notice of her, as she had been so short a time in the house. I never saw the Frenchman speak to Heloise. I saw the Belgian woman about 4 or 5 o'clock in the day after the death of Heloise. That was the first time I saw her that day, and she came into my parlour. I occupied the whole of the ground floor. My bed room was at the back. No one slept with me that night. No one came to visit me that night-. I did • expect a friend, but he did not come. The kitchens were below. I kept two servants—Anne &own, and a li , tle woman, who has since left. The one who left slept in the kitchen, and Anne Brown out of the home. Anne Brown left sometimes at one and sometimes iwo o'clock in the morning, and came abou 10 or 11 o'clock in the forenoon The servant who slept in the house was about 20 years of age. She went to bed about 1 o'clock on the night in question, and got up about 7 or 8 o'clock the I 'Bowing morning. It wes the ser vant's business to wash the passage every morning. I wore four rings on the night of the 23d of Feb. when I first met the prisoner in the Thymarket. All of them are diamond rings. Deceased wore that night a ring with a real stone, like what gen tlemen wear in their pins. I believe it was a gar net. The prisoner was very cross when I declined to sleep with him. He did not say anything, hen looked downwards and appeared very cross, as he could not speak French. He said something to my servant. Virginie Sylvestre said—l live at 48, Lisle-street. lam not a g.‘y woman. I am supported by M. Mouton. At the time in question, I lived at 8, Arundel-court, where he lived with me. He slept in the house on the night Heloise met with her death—he slept there every night. I knew the deceased very well. She deponed that she went out with Heloise in Waterloo-place, and there met the prisoner and Madame Levy. I did not hear him ask Madame Levy to let him sleep with her, but he said he had asked her, and i❑ case she re fused, he would sleep with one of us. We then parted. About a quarter to 11 o'clock I saw the prisoner again. He again said if he did not sleep with Madame Levy lie would with me or deceased. The deceased said, "Let me alone," and the pri soner replied, " Good night," and went away. In a short time Anne Brown came after us, and spoke to the deceased at the corner of Jermyn-street, saying that a gentleman was waiting for her at Arundel-place. The deceased walked towards Arundel-place, and the servant walked behind. I went back to Arundel-place about 1 o'clock in the morning, and called out to Heloise (the deceased) to come to supper. The first time I called Heloise, she said she was engaged and could not cDme down ; the second time I called to her, I said, "It does not matter, come down." I then heard the pri soner say if she wanted a supper ho offered her one. After this she came down, and we took sup per together. Mouton was in bed. She remained till about half-past two o'clock, and then left the room and went upstairs to her bedroom. I took a glass of beer to a sick person, and saw the deceased go upstairs. I asked the deceased for a book. The prisoner opened the door in his shirt and without his stockings, gave me the book, and locked the door. I went down to my room. I got up on the following clay about twelve o'clock. She often breakfasted with rue, and we arranged tee night before we should breakfast togethe r ' About 1 o'clock the next day my friend 31_07 . "; knocked at the bedroom door of the deeeasswene,r wa 4- 8 1. asked to come to breakfast. Np up returued, and between 2 and ;› o' clock 1 W stairs to see a sick person, Juliette, and then I looked through the keyhole of the bedroom door of the deceased, and I saw the bed was in confusion, but I did not see the body. I called to the deceased, but received no answer, and, having tried the door, I found it locked. About 8 o'clock I saw the room burst open. I saw her things lying on the table, and I then looked at the bed. After the bed-clothes were removed I saw the de ceased, her beck was towards me. She was upon her face with her head between two pillows (the pillows were not over her head). Her arms were turned back. The doctor came about 5 minutes after the door was broken open by Fairfield. During the interval I went down stairs, and Mouton stood outside the door, shut it, and said no one should enter till the arrival of the medical man. Deceased wore that night a watch and chain, two ring=, and a pair of earrings. Oil Wednesday evening when I went to deceased's room, I did not sea any of those articles. I knew them perfectly well—one of the rings she only pos sessed the Sunday hefor,. Witness th .n detailed the articles, belonging to the deceased, missed. When the prisoner went into the house, ho had no marks on his face. I noticed him particularly. Cross-examined— I have resided in the hou e about five mouths and a.hiflf with Mouton. I never lived in any other house with Madame Levy. I knew her from peeing her in the streets, just as Frenchwomen know each other. I don't know where she lived before. ' Sometimes I took male friends home to Arundel-court when Monsieur Mouton was out. He was always out in the day, and weut to a certain place to s2end his evenings. Mouton came home on Wednesday to break fast at one o'clock, then he took a walk with Diseer and came home to dinner. I saw the Frenchman in the house after the doctor came. Am certain Heloise wore two rings on the night i❑ question. She took great pride in showing them. I very ofte❑ go into Waterloo-place and talk to other women. I did not consent to sleep three in a bed with Heloise and the prisoner. He did not ask me. No one ever proposed it. Theophile Mouton—l lodged in February with the witness Sylvestre, at Madame Levy's. lam a comnes sion agent. At half-past seven o'clock on Wedee,day ❑fight I broke open the bedroom-door of the deceased. Several persons were with me at the time, I went to the bed and removed the bedclothes from the deceased, and gave her a little push I called out, " Heloise, will you come to dinner !" She did not move, and I then saw she was dead. The deceased was lying as described by the witness Sylvestre, and the room was in great dis order. The sofa bad been pulled in front of the fire. Deceased was lying on her belly, with her face between the pillows ; her arms were turned back, and her fingers were cramped or contracted, as if she had endeavoured to defend herself; her arms were spotted blue ; whe❑ I discovered the body, I covered it up again, and it re mained in that state till the doctor came. I did not disturb the position of the body when I touched it Cross-examined—l am a commission agent. I work for several persons. I deal in every article given to me for sale. I get work where I can. Iw rk for M. Jochom, 5, Mead's-court, Warclour-street, Soho. I for tner:y dealt in jewellery. Mr. T. Atkinson—Do you sell jewellery to gay women ? Witness—l sell them where I can. Ido not choose my customer. I slept at Madame Levy's with Madame Sylvestre every night. We lived there. I did not know that Madame Levy was a gay woman. Ido not fuse tme in enquiring into such matters. I had seen her several times before. I went to live at her house. Virginie paid the rent of the room. Such questions are not rea,4onable. (Laughter.) I helped Virginie as much ai pos , ,ible, like friends. All the money I earned came into the house for the benefit the household. Eiiz► Disher sworn—l lodged at 8, Arundel-place. About half-past 7 on Wednesday morning I saw prisoner go down stairs. I was going down stairs, and the prisoner was behind, and he passed me a'. the bottom ef the stairs. Tbe night bef ire I bad quarrelled with my hu - baud, and I sat on the stairs Lear my door from haP past 2 till 7 o'clock. About a few ❑:longs before 7 o'clock I heard three groans from the top room, and about half-an-hour after wards the prisoner came down stairs and followed me without ,peaking down Vie other flight of stairs. He passed the at the landing: with:_ut speaking, and quitted the house. He opened and closed the dour hina , elf. He had nothin4 in his hand, hut he appeared stout itbeu`, the shoulders ; he pre sented a ate uter appearance about the breast than now ; he bad a large brown coat with hose sleeves ; it had no hood like the one he has on now ; it was quite light at Vie time ; when the prisoner gut outsize he turned r' udi and looke.. at me. Julie Levy, recallsd— Cross-rxarnined by Mr. T. Atkinson—The prisoner was dre,:ed in the cawe coat as now; a coat like it, but I don't kno.v if it had a hood to it. [Pbe prisoner was dies-4W in a 1 irge b:o , at or cape, braided, with a hood.] His coat that night was braided like the one he now has on ; he had on a coat braidej like the one be now wears when in my bou=e. By. Mr. Bodkin— No male, person slept in the room wilh the sick person. _ _ Virginia Sylve , tro recalled—Examine , ' by Mr. T. At kios , n—When I fir , t saw the prisonar he was dressed just the sArrie as he is now—the colour was brown blue. By the Judge—l don't know if it had a hood to it. Eliza Dtsber rec4lled and cross-examined by Mr. T. A.tkinsun.—l quart shed Tl.l my husband about eleven o'clock, and went down into the kitchen. I took up my posit'ou on the stairs about half-past 2, temait,ing 6,1 near 7. I. was a,vake Coe el:olc, cf time. lam mar ri• d to Disher. I was married to him at Great Beaiios, about 2 years ago. I had resided in this house about three weeks when the occurrence happened. I knew nothing cf the habits of the inmates. I ;bought them quiet people. Some of them went to bed early, otbtrs late. I went out of the room by my own accord. My husband several times called to me, saying I had no +.u-iness to be on the stairs ; but I persisted in doing so. I saw Heloise go up stairs about ball-past two, just as I came up from the kitchen ani rat on the stairs. I saw no other pass up or down the stairs between that time and morning. I did not get drowsy at all. It was quite light at half-pa,t 7 o'clock that morning. The person who then went down stairs had on a brown coat with loose sleeves. My husband is a tailor. The coat worn by the man is known as a paletot ; it bad braid round the buttons. I know nothing of the jewellery worn by the ladies. By Mr. Bodkin—l heard Virginia go up stairs about five minutes after deceased went up. I heard her knock at deceased's door and ask for licloise. I heard her re turn alimmt directly after she went up. From that time till the prisoner came down no person went up or down the stAim I did not notice if hi face way scratched or ❑et, although he turned round and looked at ins as he went out of the door. By the Judge—Tue three groans I heard were not loud. They were immediatelv one aster each other. That was all the noise I heard. It there had been a violent scuffle I think I should have heard it. If there had beon fighting, or violent struggling, I am certain I should have heard it. I heard the groans distinctly, though they were not very loud. The coat svai the one the prisoner has now on. I can't say if coats with hoods can be worn inside or outside on the shoulders. At the time I thought the screams came from the sick room. The Court adjourned at two o'clock for a short time. Mr. FredericTothill, of 8, Charle,:-street, St. James's square, surgeon to the C division of police, said—l was called into the house No. 8, Arundel-place, at half-past 9 on the night of the murder, and found the deceased in a top room lying on her face on the hed, her head sup p med by pillows, anti the rest of her body covered with the bed-clothes. I observed nothing particul 1r on re moving the clothes beyond the way in which the body was lying. I turned the body over, and found tie chest and abdomen rather warm. The general appear ance of the body was livid and ecchymose ; the face was swollen, the features distorted, and the eyes prominent, with the pupils dilated. Thera was mucus running from the nose, the tongue was protruding and swol en ; on the lower and front part of the windpipe a dark livid :pot was visible, about the size of a fourpenny niece, and the fingers were contracted and nails livid. I ni. , de a post mortetn examina ion on Saturday morning, assisted by Mr. Palmer, the house surgeon of Charing-cross Ho-pital. On removing the skud I examined the brain, and came to the conclusion that death had been occasioned by strangulation. The facts fully bore out the opinion I had previously formed. In my judgment death was produced by strangulation by some other person. Pressure on the windpipe was, in my opinion, the immediate cause of death. I should say, from the appearance of the deceased, she had been dead eight or ten hours—it might be longer. The posi tion in which the bady was lying, the bedclothes over it, and the gravitation of blood towards the parts, would acc.iunt for the degree of warmth I have spoken of in the chest and abdomen ; the extremities were per fectly cold.

James E. Baylis—l am an engineer in the London Fire Brigade. On the 10th of March I was called at 10 mitaites to 9to a fire in Monkw,ll-street. I broke the door open and entered the house, but found no per son on the premises. The principal part of the Ere was under the cutting board in the centre of the shop, but the fire was burning all round. The patterns and contents of the shop were on fire. There was no gas burning in the shop, neither was there a fire-place or stove. There was a door to the cutting-board, that covered a bin which received the cuttings of the materials used in the prisoner's trade (a mantle-maker). The fire when it reached this spot would communicate with the shop. The fire was burning in the cellar under the cutting-board. I remained in possession of the premises until the prisoner was taken into custody, but he had free access to the house. G . dorge C o l e , su b- eng i neer to the London Brigade—l arrived at the fire shortly after it broke out. On entering the premi-es I saw a hole in the floor of the shop. I looked down and saw the gas full on. There was a very large volume of fl xtue. The height of the fl coring above the burner was ten inches, and the fire came through the shop flour. I found a g as b ranc h i n the cellar u n screwed from its place, and the burner turned upwards towards the shop floor. I found three screws on the cellar floor. They fitted the screw holes in the post from which the branch had been removed. Th• nippe or burner had been take n ou t of the branch. The flame would rise at least ten inches from such an opening. oinnsptehcetoloofh C?fitymnaorlciche..

[We shall give the conclusion in our last edition.] LORD NORMANBY. (Fron?, the Times.) Lord Normanby has addressed to this journal a few lines from Florence, in which he wishes us to give publicity to the fact that he is in no wise dis qualified, either by age or infirmity, for the dis charge of the duties of his late office. The ques tion of age is one purely of fact, and when Lord Nermauby writea to inform the British public, through our columns, that he is fourteen years younger than Lord Palmerston, and but two years older than Lord Derby, of course it is so, and there is an cud of the =Ver. In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. We are glad, too, to hear that Lord Ncrmanby is at present in the enjoyment of as good he.ilth as his friends— and call l i i ) e a,r, l t i hi a c s eu m lhaa a rs n iyha—tetidecnottuhi attention m d th e is si si r il e ois . n (sa l t V tat e Fe rul a o s e • i o .ne i nt il ,c d ot a h l b s ae o t since has never been ncapacitat e d a single day from the discharge of its duties." Now, although we believe that Lord Normanby is an entirely unfit person for the discharge of so serious a duty as that of the representative of Great Britiin in the Italian Pen insula—for such, in point of fact, the Tuscan En voy is, or should be—we should b 3 grieved indeed to write a word which could give a moment's pain on personal grounds to so amiable and des rvedly popular a man. Considering what our Italian diplomacy has been for some time past, we thought we were adopting the more merciful supposition in presuming that the popular rumour which spoke of Curd Normanby's failing strength was correct. The explanation invariably given of his Tuscan mission was that the real business was transacted at Vienna, and he more o!n 'mental duties at Florence. From his duties Lord Normanby tells us he has never been absent, and his word is worthy of all respect. We may add with peifect sincerity, that when we compare our la e tepresentativo in Tuscany with his successor we are heartily sorry that he has been displaced. By the side of Mr. Howard, Lord Normanby is a chelieu or a Ta!leyrand. This, however, is the Only ground on which his removal can be regretted ; for it is clear enough that with the turn things are now taking on tole Continent of Europe, there should be a man of vigorous character, of firm will, and of keen intellect, to act as watchman for Eng land in the Italian Peninsula. This Tuscan mission has ever been treated a 3 an armchair by the Foreign-office. The post is so area 4ble—th3 city so pleasant—the works of art collected in it so in teresting, that there is really no sput on the Con tinent of Europe where an elderly gentleman can spend the autumn of his days more entirely to his own satisfaction than at the capital of the Medici. With the Neapolitan mission cancelled, the Roman mission non-existing, and Lombardy, diplomatically speaking, a blank, it is obvious that if diplomacy be not an idle farce, we ought to be better represented at the Court of Tuscany than we are, or have been for some time past. This we say on public grounds; if we were allowed to consider the question as one of private relations, we should be happy to bear witness to the fact that a more coureoaa gentle man than Lord Normanby was never engaged in the service of the country. The fullovitig is the letter allude (1 to above : " Snt,—As rsee in au article of the 27th of March you again allude to my supposei disqualificatio3s on account of advanced age and infirmities, I am sure you will be glad to hear that, although I had a severe attack of illness, attributed to overwork and anxiety of mind, soon after my return from Paris, I am now in Vie enjoyment of perfect health ; and during the three years and a half I have held this mission I have never been incapacitated a single day from the discharge of all its duties. Had I at any time been in the state you give the public to suppose, I neither would have accepted nor retained the appointment. " As to age, I am 1.4 years younger than the la'e Premier, who certainly shows no signs of age, and only two years older than his successor. So much upon a mere matter of fact ; yuu will not of course expect that I should enter with you into any of the other topics treated in that article. I limit myself exclusively to the request that you will give the same publicity to this letter as to your erroneous statement upon a point of a purely puponal cha racter, not usually made a subject of attack in fair political warfare.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, `‘ NORMINBY.

L ,,, f t ;TON AND LORD JOHN RUS SELL. —T he following r E Fgexstract from the current number of Bl ac k woo d' s far as relates to Lord John R usse ll , i s Maigrha; gteli, o e especial attention of Lord Palmerston, w hi c h :: h o pe be will not fail to give it :—" had the fall of the P a lmerston Ministry been accomplished by the Con servatives, the result would have gone far to cot solidate the various sections of the Liberal party. But the chef agent in his fall was Lord John Russell, who signalised his opposition by voting against th e vsry firstreading of the Con , piracy Biil—w hereas, the Conservatives, anxious to avoid even the semblance of fac:ion on so delicate and important a question, by their votes gave leave to the Government to introduce the bill. It was also notorious Viat throughout the whole course of Lord Palmerston's AdmimPtration, Lord John Russell has been ever ready to play the part of mischief maker. The result has been to widen the breach previously existing between these two chi, fa of the Liberal party, and to exasperate in no ordinary degree the Palmerstonians against Lord John Russell. Lord John will never rest so long as Lord Pal i vurston is above hire, while the Irish Viscount will cer t tastily not submit tamely to be displaced from his point of honour. It is at present, almost a drawn race between them, and, considering the advanced years of both, the next heat must decide. At present Lord Palmerston holds the vantage. It is six years since that noble lord asserted his independence, and " took uptshtetrhreune. ning" against Lord John, and during the la in fact, has of late years bon ' noffhe re." : years he has completely distanced his ri; a, .
