Ironing LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1848. Protection, after all, seems really to be only half abolished. If our agriculturists are deprived of the criminal delights of monopoly monopoly is still maintained upon a gigantic scale among the great; corporations, who, under the shadow of the British sceptre, rule those vast tracts of the American conti nent which are scantily populated with colonists and aborigines, while they abound in wild animals from the buffalo to the weasel. Already we have endea voured to expose the trickery by which a splendid island, very nearly as large as England, is about to be consigned by the Government to the charge of the Hudson's Bay Company. In spite of the masterly speech delivered by Mr. GLADSTONE in the House of Commons during the sitting of Friday even ing, 18th August, in spite of all that has been said either within or without the walls of Parliament by legislators and journalists, the Cabinet still seems to evince its determination to carry out its project as to the transference of Vancouver's Island from the care of the mother country to that of an ' isolated and almost irresponsible body of merchants. Unless some decided movement be made for the pre vention of this dire arrangement, Quadra will be closed for eleven years, if not permanently, against emigration ; the project of the Colonial Secretary will be successfully consummated by his subordinate , colleagues ; the selfish aspirations of Earl GREY, seconded by those of Mr. Hawes and Mr. BULLER, Will be realised ; and, if, to use a cant term of the old astrologers, Orion be not predominant in the House of Death, the Great Bear will be supreme in the House of Misfortune. Reference is being perpetually made by the ad vocatee of the projected transference to the Red River Settlement and to the Puget's Sound Association. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Liskeard has even gone so far as to brag about the " flourishing settlement," said to exist in some corner or other of the island of Vancouver. It will be per ceived, from a communicatio❑ published by ourselves in another column, and addressed to one of our contem poraries, that every one of these vain-glorious allusions are nothing better than empty air—that the boasted settlement in Vancouver's Island is a miserable group of two or three Europeans and half. a-dosen Indians in a small wooden pent-house ; that the Red River settlement is a disgrace to humanity, and that a more wretched bugbear can scarcely be supposed to exist than the famous Puget's Sound Association. Nor can these revelations be any matter of astonishment, as we have already intimated, when the character of the avocations practised by the servants of the Hudson's Bay Company is taken into con sideration. A company of speculators, whose object of merchandise is fur, is assuredly the very last which one would expect to foster the humanising cause of colonisation, and to promote the diffusion of the civilising arts and of Christianising knowledge. The wilder the possessions are the more their stock of bears and jackals thrive, the more they propagate among the fastnesses of the primeval forests, the more they multiply the riches of the monopolists in the lonely valleys and the un trodden mountains. Every tree felled, every acre cleared, every streamlet navigated, would be a sensible diminution of the resources of the association. To keep up the exorbi tant dividends to the shareholders the most rational course would be to prevent the habitation of the countries from the solitudes of which they derived their enormous profits and unflagging traffic. These have invariably been the considerations of the direc tors of the Hudson's Bay Company. It is this prin ciple, or rather, we should say, this total absence of principle, which has secured to them for a century , and a half such an astonishing prosperity, a pros perity as malign in its influences and as in glorious in its results as it- has been marvellous in its continuance and unprecedented in its magnitude. From the experience afforded us by the past history of this remarkable community of merchants, we may argue with some degree of security upon the pro bable consequence of the extension of their disastrous policy elsewhere. From the statistics furnished from their continental possessions in North America, we may very safely and readily conjecture the results of their insular administration. The barrenness— in an agricultural sense—of the former would be only repeated in the latter ; the ignorance, the despot ism, and the numerical poverty of the population, would be the the same only upon a proportionate scale. We should, at the end of the eleven years, look to the narrative of occurrences inVancouver's Island, and find ,ifothing—just as we have turned to the narrative of the occurrences in the continental districts of the company, after their sovereign rule of 150 years, and have found a dismal and appallin g void. It muss be acknowledged that the Hudson's Bay Company have striven to screen themselve s from the odium of their repressive policy by a meagre pre• tune of enterprise in the way of promoting emigre lion—still, in proof that this movement has been only a pretence, and a very shallow pretence to., we need merely mention the settlements of Jute's Wound and on the Red River. Those settle ments are as dwarfish in their dimensions and as pernicious in their character as any that have ever been recorded in the history of civilization. And as Mr. GLADSTONE very happily observed, after quoting from WORDSWORTH the great poetic truth that " the boy is father to the man,"—" So it is with nations : infant settlements are the fathers of great nations ; and the means of a healthy development ought, therefore, to be afforded to them ; for sickly, stunted, and mutilated creatures are likely to spring up beneath the poisoned shade of mono poly and despotism." Such settlements, if any settlements at all, are the only ones that can be an ticipated for Vancouver's Island, if that noble and fruitful colony be abandoned to the grasp of the Hudson's Bay Company directors. With these considerations, we resign the matter to the ripened judgment and the retentive conscience of the mem bers of the Administration. A casU was tried yesterday at the Central Criminal Court which affords another powerful illustration of the necessity for the establishment of a public prose. cutor, whose duty it shall be to examine attentively and accurately the depositions, and to ascertain that there shall at least be a prima facie case to go to a jury before any person shall be committed for trial on an aggravated charge. We have repeatedly shown that under the present impolitic system the most innocent persons may be subjected to serious annoyance, inconvenience, and expense, that their feelings may be outraged, and perhaps their prospects in life wholly blighted. It is no light or trivial matter for any person to be arrested, torn from friends and family, detained in custody, exposed for even a brief period to public odium as a hardened and atrocious criminal, and finally compelled to incur a heavy expenditure, which cannot possibly, even under the most favourable cir cumstances, be recovered, and all because undue faci lities are afforded to any person who chooses to pre fer a trumpery accusation for the gratification of private malignity or revenge, or for the purposes of extortion and oppression, to obtain a public investigation. According to the constitutional theory, when a criminal action has been commited, the private injury is merged in the public wrong. The offender is not punished for having transgressed against his neighbour, but for having violated the peace of our Sovereign Lady the QUEEN. Protection is due to every subject. He yields his allegiance to the supreme authority and contributes to the National Exchequer, and in return he is defended in the enjoyment of all his rights, and any invasion thereof is resented by the body politic, of which he is a member. This is the theory ; how different is the practice ! If a person is robbed of his property, he is bound over to prosecute the plun derer, and his original loss is materially increased by the legal expenses of that prosecution ; if he is as saulted, he must incur a heavy outlay in bringing the aggressor to justice, and discharging the duty which should devolve upon the law officers of the Crown. Thus the protection to person and pro perty, which is the only legitimate basis of the na tional taxation, is practically withheld. But still more is this the case when a party is taken up on in sufficient grounds, and, after suffering the deepest injury, dismissed without compensation or recom pense. There is no respect in which the protection due to every subject is more urgently required than in guarding him against unfounded accusations, whether such accusations be the result of private malignity, or of the blundering and stupidity of in competent persons called upon to discharge a public duty. The case now under notice was owing to the latter cause, but the grievance to the aggrieved parties is precisely the same, and it would have been wholly averted if a public officer had examined the proceed ings of the coroner's inquest before they had been given in charge to the jury. Even the grand jury, who too often have deserved censure for the reckless manner in which they are in the habit of finding true bills on insufficient testimony, had ignored the bills that had been preferred, but the coroner's jury having returned a verdict of Wilful Murder, the parties were necessarily arraigned upon that inquisi tion. E The facts were very simple. MARY SPRY and MARY ANNE Doi; mother and daughter, described as well dressed, respectable persons, were charged with the wilful murder of a child of the latter, by ad ministering poison to it. It appeared that the prisoners had invariably treated the deceased infant, who was only four months old, with the utmost kind ness and affection, and there was not the slightest attempt to show that any poison had been in the pos session of either. On the 13th July last the younger prisoner had arranged to go on an excursion of pleasure to the Isle of Wight, on that morning the child was taken ill. A medical man was immediately sent for, who administered some medicine, but did not think the case a serious one. The parties thereupon proceeded upon their journey ; but the child still suffering, another pro fessional man was consulted on their arrival in the island, who ordered more active remedies, and recom mended the mother to return to London with her child. During this period the mother exhibited the greatest affection for her child. On arriving in town the former medical adviser was again con sulted, and certain powders administered under his direction. The child died shortly afterwards. On a post mortem examination, a small portion of arsenic was found in the child's intestines ; but this did not appear to be the cause of death, which was distinctly shown to have been occasioned by a natural cause ; the child having suffered under what is termed intersusception of the bowels. Under these circumstances, the Learned Judge who presided stopped the case, and with considerable warmth de clared, "that there did not appear to be the slightest ground for the charge ; and it only showed what might be done by a coroner's jury." Even the Learned Counsel who conducted the prosecu tion, in opening the case, declared that from a perusal of the depositions he entertained an opinion that in the result the prisoners would be freed from the charge." Why, then, should the case be proceeded with under such circumstances ? The humane principle of the law is, that "it is better that ninety-nine guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should be unjustly convicted." And juries are inva riably told " that if they entertain any reasonable doubt they are to give the benefit to the prisoner ;"but here, although the prosecuting counsel acknowledges that he himself feels such a doubt, witnesses are ex amined and the feelings of the innocent prisoners har rowed up by a recapitulation of the distressing facts of the case. We do not desire to be understood as casting any reflection upon the learned and able gentleman who made that admission, and who, in doing so, de served credit for his candour; it is the system to which we are conscientiously opposed, and which should be altered with the least possible delay.

LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 27.—The Prince of Wales steamer, from Belfast to Fleetwood, was in contact yesterday off the Point (Isle of Man) with a smack; the steamer sank or was beached—three of the passengers and four of the crew drowned ; it is not known what became of the smack. Mr. Villiers paired with Sir C. Burrell (who was against) for the Copper Duties Bill. DREADFUL FIRE AND EXPLOSION. —Shortly after two this morning a dreadful alarm prevailed in High-street, Shoreditch, owing to an explosion on the premises of Mr. Spurway. an oilman, &c. With the greatest difficulty the family effected a retreat, and the fire spread most furiously. But little time elapsed before several of the A and B engines of the brigade from several stations, with those of the West of England and County, were set to work. The fire 14 as at length subdued, but not a vestige of property on the lower part of the premises was saved This loss will be covered by insurance in the Sun and Imperial offices. shalleiuosutose BoaDEn.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Neither Louis BLANC nor CAUSSIDIERE have as yet been arrested, and it is positively affirmed in the Siecle that Louis BLANC is safe in Brussels. The Gazette des Tribunaux says— " Yesterday (Saturday) morning, upon a requisition from M. Pinard, Procureur de la Republique, two war rants were issued by M. Bertrand, the examining magistrate, for the arrest of MM. Louis Blanc and Caussidiere. Commissaries of Police and their officers went to the residence of M. Caussidiere, at No. 26, Cite Beaujon, and to that of M. Louis Blanc, at No. 57, Rue Neuve Vivienne, to execute the warrants, but neither of them was to be found. They left their homes on Friday, at seven in the evening, and had never returned. M. Bertrand, in the presence of the Procureur, made searches in the apartments of both. The papers found at M. Caussidiare's were taken to the registrar's office, but the desk of M. Louis Blanc was put under seals. At eleven o'clock yesterday evening the warrants had not been executed." The Messager gives the following explanation as to the non-arrest of these gentlemen before they quitted the hall of the Assembly. "M. Louis Blanc and M. Cauisidire were at first to have been arrested at the Assembly; but, from a high sentiment of propriety, General Cavaignac was not wil ling that this arrest should be made in the sanctuary of the Legislature. Orders were given to arrest them only at their places of residence. They did not return thither. The police, however, has been informed of their place of retreat, and, if their arrest has not already taken place, it is because the two representatives have promised to constitute themselves prisoners this very day." The protest of the journalists whose papers have been suppressed was yesterday presented to General CAVAIGNAC, who returned the following answer : "In suppressing the journals whose attacks appeared to me dangerous to the Republic, I believe I fulfilled a duty. You journalists, you do your duty by protesting against an attack against the liberty of the press and the privileges of the writer. This protest is an act which does you honour, and for the dignity of your class I should have been astonished at your sileace. I ex pected it." Tranquillity has been completely re-established at Lille, and the leaders of the emeute have been taken into custody. Messrs. BYRNE and M'CoRMAcK, two of the Irish rebel leaders, have safely arrived in Paris. M. MAUGUIN has given notice of a motion in the National Assembly on the subject of the suppression of the journals. BOURSE—PARIS , MONDAY AUGUST 28. THREE O'CLOCK.—This has been one of the most ani mated days at the Bourse that we have had for some time.

Robert Williams was also indicted with receiving up wards of 7,000 cards, the property of Messrs. Dicken son, well knowing them to be stolen. The jury convicted the prisoner, and The COMMON-SERGEANT sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. MARLBRO'-STREET---(THIS DAY.) Charlotte Binder, a good-looking young woman, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with having con cealed the birth of her child. Eliza Newman said she lodged on the ground floor at No. 3, Archer-street, St. James's. On last Tuesday week the prisoner came to her lodging, and said she was a single woman and wanted part of a bed. Wit ness consented to let her have part of her bed, and pri soner then left the house, promising to come again the same evening. About eleven o'clock she returned again, and went to bed with witness. About six o'clock the following morning witness awoke, and found the prisoner out of bed. She complained of having been ill all night with a pain in her inside. About twenty minutes after wards witness had occasion to go into the water• closet in the yard, and from the appearances she there saw she thought that the prisoner had met with some accident. Witness had not the remotest idea at the time that the prisoner had given birth to a child. The prisoner left that morning, and went to her aunts. On Thursday last the drain in the back yard became stopped up, and last night when the water came in. witness tried to clean it with a pole, in doing so she felt a substance which she fancied ought not to be there. When she had cleared it away with the water she saw it was the body of a new-born infant. She immediately proceeded to the Vine-street station, and gave information to the police, who came, and took the body out of the cesspool. She subsequently went with a constable to the prisoner's aunts, where she saw the prisoner, and gave her in charge. Mary Francis, the prisoner's aunt, said she lived at 98, Princes-street, Soho, and the prisoner was her niece. On Wednesday week the prisoner left her situation, and came to stay with witness for a few days. She left on the Friday night following to go and lodge with last witness. Witness did not then observe anything parti cular about the prisoner's appearance to lead her to sus pect that she was encienta. On leavint , her house pri soner complained of being unwell, but did not say from what cause her illness proceeded. Witness had not ex amined her boxes, and therefore could not say if any preparation had been made for such an event as the birth of a child. Police-sergeant English, 4 C, said, about half-past eight last night, from information he had received, he proceeded to No. 3, Archer-street. He went into the water-closet in the back yard, and at the bottom of it he found the body of a male child quite dead. Witness after a while succeeded in getting it out. On examining the body he found that one of the arms had boen partly torn off, and a piece of list was tied tight round its neck. Witness took the body to the workhouse, where it now lies. Th© prisoner, who appeared in a very weak state, said she was not aware that her time was so near. She had no other defence to offer. Mr. BINGHAM remanded her for a week. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. CLOSE OF THE SEASON. After a season unexampled for its length and unpa ralleled for its prosperity, her Majesty's Theatre closed on Thursday night with the performances of the Sonnambula, Fiorita, and Alma. Jenny Lind was called for four times at the conclusion of the opera, and again at the conclusion of the National Anthem, the third verse of which she sang plainly, nobly, truly, as a national anthem should be sang, and which she was called on to repeat. Her reception at each time of her appearance was most enthusiastic. The queen of song was received as queens should be received. No sooner did she appear than, as poor Edmund Kean would have said, " the pit rose at her," and the example of the pit was followed by boxes and gallery. The whole audience rose en masse to do homage to her unsurpassable genius as an artist and to the Una-like purity of her character as a woman. Such was the triumphant conclusion of the second " Jenny Liud " season, in which the Swedish Nightin gale more, much more than sustained the great reputa tion which she had acquired during the season of 1647. Those who heard her at the close of the last season imagined that she had attained per fection, and in comparison with what we had been accustomed to from other singers, undoubtedly she had attained perfection, but with the enthusiasm cA every true lover of art, Jenny Lind is not content to rest on her laurels, she is always a student, and thus she goes on, every year surpassing her efforts of the preceding year. Her Amina, for instance, and her Maria were this year superior to her Amina and her Maria of last year, and her new impersonations, her Lucia and her Elvira, were perfect, they were inspirations in the truest sense of the word, sad, for the first time, gave us the true readings of those characters. Ma demoiselle Jenny Liud leaves London for a short tour in the provinces, and then, so says report, she quits the stage, and retires from public lite. We would Lain hope that such may not be the case. She has a great mission, the which she has as yet but half accom plished. Her mission is to purify the stage, to restore art and artists to their proper position, to show to those well -meaning, virtuous, but prejudiced persons, who have visited the sins of some few disorderly artists on art it self , that art is in its own nature pure and ennobling, and at the same time to prove to artists that it is to their interest as artists to maintain the dignity of their call ing, and to abstain from those vices in which too many of them indulge. Jenny Lind undoubtedly made the season, and she must necessarily at any theatre which is happy enough to secure her services ; hut Mr. Luml e y did not, trust to Jenny Li n d a l one. He had engaged a most efficient corps operatigue, and in the course of t h e season he introduced to us several new singers of great merit. On the open ing night, for instance, th e 19 t h o f F e b ruary, Mademoiselle Sofia Cruvelli appeared in the opera of Ernani, and achieved a success complete and undoubted, a success that is seldom achieved on a first appearance by artists of much greater experience than :Blade moiselle Cruvelli. This success she not only main tained but increased at each subsequent appearance; and the day is not far distant when Mademoiselle Cru velli will be in the enjoyment of an European fame. Mademoiselle Abaddia came to us from Italy with a high fame, which, however, she by no means sustained here. The probability is that her voice, like that of Frezzolini, was utterly destroyed by our "Cold and cloudy clime." The success of Mademoiselle Schwarz, however, made ample a mends for the failure of Mademoiselle Abbadia. The success of the German contralto, who made her debut in the character of Orsini, in Lucrezia Borgia, was complete, and her subsequent performances in Linda and several other operas proved that such success was well deserved and fairly earned. Mademoiselle Vera, too, as a seconda donna, was a most advantageous substitut e f or poor o ld worn-out use f u l addition to th e com p an y, an d a most adv Ma dame 13nlini. This season also introduced us to Ma dame Tadolini, the prima donna of Italy par excellence. Those who heard her in the character of Linda on the night of her debit will not be surprised at the high fame which she had acquired on the Continent. She was then fresh from Italy, and her voice retained all its purity and clearness ; but she had scarcely been in Eng landthe English climate began to pro ducel effects u p on th e d e li ca t e organs oft its those seletealli ere ua a s ns who have not been from their youth upwards used to the smoke of a sea-coal fire; and she was no longer the Tadolini that we recollected hear ing at Milan, nor even the Tadolini that we had heard on a certain Saturday night in April, singing at her Ma jesty's Theatre with Mr. Sims Reeves in the opera of Linda di Chimouni. The company at her Majesty's Theatre was exceedingly rich in basses and baritones; in addition to Labache, senior, the greatest male singer in the world, in every sense of the word, we had Colletti, Bouchti, Lablache, jun., and Beletti. Tho latter, a fresh importation, pos sesseyl of a clear, fine, flexible, baritone voice, an excel lent actor; witness his Priest in Nino, an admirable Buffo, witness his Figaro, and an accomplished musician, whose intonation is so pure that, marvellous for a bari tone, he was never heard to sing out of tune. Mr. Lumley was unfortunate with regard to tenors, and the whole weight of the season fell on Gardoni. Cuzzani was a failure, and Labocetta, although possessed of an exquisite drawing-room voice, which he managed with skill and taste and science, was yet too feeble in every sense of the word to perform the arduous duties which must necessarily devolve on a priseo tenore at her Majesty's Theatre , Sims Reeves, who was en gaged,for one night and ac hi ev i ng an seceded from the es t a bli s h men t in o cp e c f esi: l some quarrel with th e manage ment.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, with a good supply, and no change in prices. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for export.—Shares were very dull, but there was no particular alteration in prices. The foreign arrivals bring very little news, and gene rally this is of a political character. The system of bounties upon the exportation of French manufactures excites, as we expected would be the case ere long, a good deal of attention in the manu facturing districts. The objectionable character of the bounty system, and its certain ultimate failure, we have before adverted to, and we have endeavoured to show how unfavourable it is even for the parties whom it is intended to benefit. The woollen manufacturers of Bradford have had some correspondence with the Board of Trade on the subject of the present distress, and remonstrating upon the free importation of French merinos. The Leeds Mercury very ably disposes of the attempted onslaught upon free-trade principles, coming, indeed, as it must, with a bad grace, from a part of England which had chosen Mr. Cobden to represent ,its views in Parliament, and which, through that gentleman, has very properly declared that, with an abundant supply of food from abroad, they were willing to submit to the same foreign competition as the farmer. The journal above referred to observes that its statements " went to show that the duty on the import of wool into France necessarily raised the price of French wools by the amount of the duty; that the bounty allowed by the French Government on the export of French merinos was exactly commensurate to the amount of the duty paid, or the enhanced price of the wool used by the French manu facturer ; that, in fact, the 10 per cent., or whatever was the amount allowed by the French Government, was drawback and not bounty. As a corollary from the last statement, we maintained that there was no ground of complaint on which the Board of Trade could make any remonstrance to the French Government. We also stated that the trade in British double-twill merinos was always a limited one ; and that, such as it was, it was annihilated before the duty of 15 per cent. on French merinos was rescinded by the tariff of 1846 ; and that, consequently, it was absurd to attri bute its extinction to a difference of 5 per cent. in the cost, arising out of the different ratios of the tax on wool, and the bounty on merinos, respectively charged and allowed at the French Custom-house. But, ad mitting the views of Mr. Rand as to the effect of the bounty, we maintained that the substitution of French for English labour in the fabrication of 50,000 pieces of merinos, was inadequate to account for the dis tress of the Bradford operatives; and was, in fact, ut terly insignificant, in comparison with the amount an nually paid in wages and profit in the worsted manufac ture of the West Riding; and we further stated that the great cause was to be found in the falling off in the ex ports of worsted goods and yarns, in the five months of the year ending sth of July, to the extent of 940,8511." There is a very dull market for the Public Securities, and prices are without any buoyancy. Consols have been 86 to 864 for present transfer, and 86k to 864 for account. The doubt as to the means that will be em ployed to raise the two millions sterling which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will require, but not pro bably for some little time yet, depressed both Stock and Exchequer-bills; but a funding, now money is so easy, would produce no very sensible effect upon the market. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 28s. for those of March, and 21s. to 245. for those of June. East India Stock is at 238. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 864 to 86k, and the Three per Cents. 86k to 86k. East India Bonds are 19s. to 225. premium. The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected. Brazilian have been quoted 73k, and Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. 44i. Nominally Spanish Five per Cents. have been 124 to Portuguese Four per Cents. 20 to 21, and Mexican 16i to 17.

There was a meeting of workmen held at Vienna on the 22d, for the alleged purpose of remonstrating against an intended reduction in the rate of wages, and some of them threatened to march to the Palace of Schoenbrunn, and destroy it. Thanks, however, to the energetic conduct of the National and Municipal Guards, who were effectually aided by the students, the assemblage of workmen was dispersed without doing mischief. In the sitting of the Chamber the recognition of the French Republic was announced, and a vote of 20,000,000 granted. The follow ing explanation on the subject of the French and English intervention in the affairs of Italy was given by the Minister DOBBLIIOFF. He said, "it was true that the English Ambassador and French Chargfi d'Affaires had received instructions from their respec tive Governments to make certain proposals for a settlement of the Italian question ; that, however, no communications had been made on the subject to the Austrian Ministry ; that consequently there might he a question of mediation, but not of intervention. Neither had any communication been made by the central power (of Frankfort) to the Cabinet of Vienna; they had only been informed by letter that agents of the Ministry of the Empire (German empire) had been sent from the camp of Marshal RADETZKY to Paris and London." It'is generally considered that WESSENBERG will be appointed Prime Minister. The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following letter from Vienna, dated August 21 : " By letters which we receive from Italy, we learn that the bases of the treaty of peace between Austria and Piedmont have been settled, and that Lombardy will remain under Austria. Peace is insured. The inter vention offered by France and England has arrived too late. The good people of Paris will be consoled. The French will be charmed to get out of the affair so cheaply." HUNGARY. It is said that the Ministers ESTERHAZY and BATIITANY have retired. PRUSSIA. Berlin continued tranquil on the 25th. The dis cussion on the law regulating public meetings has been postponed from Thursday to Monday. BAVARIA. There were large assemblages in the streets of Munich on the 23d ; the troops were drawn up in a threatening attitude, and everything portended a collision. 'The Government, however, having ordered the troops to return to the barracks, and having en trusted the guardianship of the city to the Burgher Guard, the people gradually retired, and the public tranquillity was not disturbed. ITALY. PIEDMONT. The inhabitants of Parma, Placentia, Reggio, and Modena have protested against the evacuation of their Duchies by the Piedmontese troops, and demand that in any treaty that may be negotiated through the inter vention of France and England they shall be united to Piedmont. ROME The Genoen journals, the Coviere Mercantile and the Gazette of the 23d, state that the steamer Arno has brought information received from travellers coming from Rome at the moment of her starting from Civita Vecchia, that an insurrection had taken place at Rome, in which several Cardinals had been killed, while others had fled. SICILY. It is said that the Duke of Gwroe, has definitively refused the crown of Sicily. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) ROBBERY IN A BROTHEL.—John Mu 20, a smith; Ann Jones, 24, spinster ; and Mary Ann Flynn, 19, spinster, were severally placed at the bar upon an indict ment charging them with robbery on Edward Preston, accompanied with violence, and stealing from his per son a watch value 355. It appeared that on the 18th of July last Preston, who was a labouring man, was induced to accompany the prisoner Jones home to her lodgings in Westminster, and while there she took the watch from his person. In his scuffle to recover it from her, the other two prisoners, Mulloy and Flynn came into the room, and by using violence succeeded in overpowering him, and getting possession of the watch. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. s e n A t at policemanthetria was l of calledthe young rn who stated l et for r t of Mr. Bellchambers, and that the prisoner Jones coha thhee was murder e coha bited with hi m i n the same lodgings where the robbery was committed. The instrument with which that murder was effected was a bolt, which was taken from the door of the room. He believed that Jones had several chil dren by Sale. The prisoner Jones—Yes. I unfortunately lived with Sale several years, and have three children by him. (The prisoner had one of them, an infant, in her arms.) The RECORDER, in passing sentence addressed Jones personally, and said he should have thought that the fact of Sale, with whom she cohabited, being convicted and executed for murder, and of that murder being com mitted with the very bolt which heti been taken from their joint habitation —the very habitation where the present robbery took place—would have been a warning to her not to give rise to another such fatal occurrence by enticing young men to her home and there bringing others to use force against them for the purpose of ex tracting property from their person. The sentence of the Court was that Mulloy and Flynn be imprisoned with hard labour, for 18 calendar months, and that Jones be transported for 15 years. The prisoners were then removed from the dock. NEW COURT. (Before the CoMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman THE ROVIIERY AT MESSRS. DICKENSON'S IN THE OLD BAlLET.—lienry Turner and Thomas Blanchett, two men in the employ of Messrs.
