THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1867. Constable Kenna, one of the constables who was shot on Wellington-quay, died at 3 o'clock yester day in Mercer's Hospital. Ile did not appear to suffer much at the last. Sergeant Kelly, his coin p:.nion, is still alive. A man named William Supple, who had been cm ployed as a keeper iu the Zoological-gardens, Phee lix-park, w,:s bitten on Tuesday afternoon by a python while he was engaged in repairing the reptile 1.10t130. Violent vomiting ensued, which was supposed to be causes by fear, and he was removed to Stevens's Hospital, where he died on the same evening. The resident surgeon of the hospital was examined at the inquest yesterday, and deposed to his belief that the deceased died of congestion of the lungs, from which he had been suffering for some time, and the jury adopted his opinion. The Daily Express advocates the election of Lord Cairns as Chanetlior of the University of Dublin, in the place of the late Lord Rosse. A meeting a the Senate has been convened to consider the sub. ject. John Heyburne, a Fenian prisoner, who was re cently liberated, after undergoing two years' im prisonment, has been re-arrested and committed to The Money Market Review last Saturday gave circulation to a strange story connected with the Accidental and Marine Insurance Corporation, the particulars of which are according to this authority as follows :—The corporation was composed of different companies, who amalgamated with the Accidental Death Insurance Company. That com pany was founded in 1849 under a Special Act of Parliament, and till 1862 carried on what appeared to be a prosperous and increasing business. In that year it commenced underwriting, but it found its marine insurance business was retarded by its in appropriate name. It was therefore in 1865 re organised ; its name changed to its present desig nation, its constitution remodelled, and its capital enlarged. The prospectus proposed to raise a capital of £2,000,000 in 80,000 shares of £25 each ; of which there was to be an immediate issue of 40,000. "At the head of the directors appeared the name of a Mr. STEPHEN CAVE, of the firm of PRESCOTT, GROTE, CAVE and CAVE, the bankers, of Threadneedle-street; then follow the names of Mr. ALFRED SMEE, F.R.S., Mr. EDWARD SOLI.; F.R.S., and two others, as the chairman and direc tors of the Accidental Death Insurance Company. Then follow Mr. WILLIAM TABOR and two others as the chairman and directors of the Gresham Life Assurance Society. Mr. TABOR is also described as a director of the Imperial Bank, and one of his colleagues is also another F.R.S. The next is Mr. FREDERICK DOULTON, M.P., and a member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and he is followed by Mr. GEORGE SMITH, of Tower-street, and Mr. J. G. TOLLEMACHE SINCLAIR, of Thurso Castle, the most intimate and particular friend' of the Right Honourable BENJAMIN DISRAELI, according to the recent testimony of that right honourable gentleman at Edinburgh." Ten thousand shares were to be allotted to the proprietors of the Accidental Deat► Insurance. Company, the new corporation taking all the assets and assuming all the liabilities of the old undertaking. The public only subscribed for 4,752 shares, which, with the 10,300 allotted to the shareholders of the Accidental Death Company, might well have been considered in sufficient, though the directors judged otherwise, and the company proceeled till, on the 16th October, 1867, the failure became apparent, and it passed into the Winding-up Court, where it now remains. The creditors at Liverpool ap pointed a committee, placing Mr. ARTHUR FOR WOOD at its head, to investigate its affairs, and from their report the extraordinary transactions of the directors came to light. About the 16th March, 1866, six members of the board of directors transferred 2,712 shares standing in their respective names, principally to a clerk of the company, leav ing each of those directors the holder of 250 shares, the lowest holding, we presume, allowed by the articles of association to qualify a direc tor. On the 21st, five days after, the company made a call of £5 per share. On the 3d October following at a board meeting, when four out of those six directors were present, 5,014 shares were forfeited for the benefit of the company, including the shares above referred to as having been trans ferred by the six directors. Of the forfeited shares 3,213 stood in the name of the clerk. On the 16th of the same month of October the company passed into liquidation. The committee allege that, apart from the shares so forfeited, 3,353 other shares had been transferred from time to time within twelve months prior to the winding up of the company, the larger proportion being transfers from the directors and officials of the company, and upon the greater portion of which the calls still rem tin unpaid. The committee estimate at over £lOO,OOO the liability of which the holders thus at empted to rid them selves. This report comes from the cre litors, who would naturally feel sore at being involved in considerable loss, and may be susceptible of ex planation. But the transactions thus recorded are simple facts, the truth of which cannot, we pre sume, be disputed. At this moment England is suffering from a financial collapse without prece dent in her annals. So complete has been the loss of credit that men begin to despair of ever reviving that confidence which is the very essence of com mercial dealings. More especially have the pro ceedings of those entrusted with the management of Joint-Stock concerns annihilated the belief of man in the honesty of his fellow-►nan. Those connected with a company seldom realise the full results of a breach of the confidence placed in them by the body for whom they are employed. The suf fering that men sea they can easily understand and appreciate, but many have not the reflection nor the imagination to realise in its force the unseen misery they may spread over the land when they fail in their duties to a corporation. The trusted ser vant who deliberately ruins his master may repent when he sees the agony he has caused, in the wreck of the family who reposed confidence in him ; and many are restrained by conscience in a course of dishonesty, the result of which their minds may readily depict. But the case is different when acting for a body. It is only the " Company" that suffers says the shepherd in the wastes of New South Wales when he helps himself to a sheep of the Australian Agricultural Company, to him a mere English myth. 1 " It is only the Company," says an overseer of an Assam tea plantation when he plunders in a way his conscience would not allow were he dealing for an individual. This feeling may be understood in those whose honesty is less a fixed principle than the result of an innate sense .of that right and wrong which forbids them to injure their em ployers whom they see and know. But when the directors are chosen for the confidence inspired by their social position and the antecedents which havemarked them as men of honour, it is not easy to comprehend how they"can reconcile themselves to such acts as those described by the committee of which Mr. FORWOOD is chairman. On their belief in the just dealings of an undertaking directed by such the shareholders assume the legal responsibility attached to their holdings. In the same belief others are induced to trust the concern, fully assured that their contracts will be faithfully per formed. If this Report be true both have been betrayed. The directors, knowing the state of the affairs transacted by themselves, first proceed to get rid of the liability they had incurred in hopes of gain, by transferring their shares to a dummy, then make a call, when no other share holder can follow their example without first paying the amount. On their fellow shareholders the further liability is then cast of a responsibility for the debts contracted by their directors to the extent of the shares thus got rid off. The law decrees that holders who have transferred shares shall be liable for all debts to the date of the transfer and for a year after the transfer, if the holders at the time of liquidation are unable to discharge the liabilities of the company, or that debts remain after they had paid up to the sum they had subscribed. This clause would have made the directors of the Accidental and Marine Insurance Corporation still liable for the amount unpaid on the shares transferred to the clerk, if the remaining proprietors had paid up their full liability, or, failing from want of menus, had left the creditors unsatisfied. It was necessary therefore to take a further step to guard themselves, and that was taken on the 3d October, a fortnight before the company passed into liquidation. By a resolution of the board the shares which the members of the board had transferred were forfeited in the words of the resolution, " for the benefit of the company." Thus they were extinguished, and the terms of the law having been complied with which freed them from liability, they threw the failed concern into the Wiuding-up Court. It is said that six only out of the eleven directors were implicated in these transactions, and the Money Market Review calla upon the remaining five to clear themselves from the imputations which must otherwise attach to their names. The worst effect of the story is the feeling of insecurity it conveys. The late crisis is said to have proved that none, whatever the standing and character, can safely be trusted with the unchecked disposal of large sums of money. It is a painful and humiliating conviction to be forced on the minds of all. Everywhere we see men announcing that their honour is dearer to them than life, ready to jeopardise that life rather than any should dare to hint that they were capable even of implying a falsehood. We see religious principles so loudly proclaimed that it appears impossible for us to associate such professions with dishonesty. Yet it is by 'the acts of such men -- trusted so im plicity and wholly—that a ruin has been spread over this kingdom more disastrous than that caused by any war in which the nation has been engaged since the time when the forces of Parliament met those of the monarch, and deluged the green fields of England with blood. Let those who have been instrumental in wrecking the hopes of so many thousand families picture the results to which their acts have led. All over the realm are families who but two short years ago [lived in comfort, even in affluence, who now know not where to turn for bread. Those carefully and delicately nurtured have been hurled from their positions to seek the means of existence in walks of life for which their training has wholly unfitted them, or to starve miserably in garrets or cellars almost uncon scious to whom they owe the horrible reverse that has overtaken them. Hundreds have died un able to endure the agony of the change. The in tellects of scores have become deranged under the pressure. Many—far more than we can ever know have sought relief in suicide ; and hosts may yet beg for coppers from the hands of men who have been thus wickedly instrumental in their ruin. And many who have piled up these unholy gains will flaunt their finery and wealth in the fashionable drives and drawing-rooms of this metropolis. Some will spout of patriotism and honour on the floor of England's Parliament, and there are men who will carry on their breasts the decorations conferred by foreign potentates with smiles and thanks of approval, for services in renewing Italian cities, building French docks, draining Belgian towns, or constructing Turkish railoads, achieved by extracting the very life blood from their deluded countrymen. It is indeed an ill wind that blows nobody good, and doubtless some have benefited by the hideous ruin they have spread abroad. Even the mur derers of MAXIMILIAN obtained a profit by rend ing his garments and selling clippings of his beard. Not long ago a New Zealand chief sold well-tatooed heads while carried erect on the shoulders of those to whom they belonged, and BURKE was ready to supply from among the living any style of subject for a dissecting-room. The mass of mankind may not deem such gains worth the cost. But there are a few who think differently, and until the advent of the millenium we may be well assured Bunss's couplet will remain true, that " Man's inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn." —Anglo-American Times. THE CONDEMNED MANCHESTER FENIANS. None can suspect good Catholics, who repu diate the principles of the Revolution everywhere, in Ireland as well as in Italy, of any sympathy with Fenianism ; but all must feel pity for the un happy men now under sentence of death, misled by revolutionary principles to engage in lawless designs which have resulted in the shedding of blood. Fenianism in Manchester is guilty of the death of a man who was simply doing his duty in obedience to the law of the land and to his own conscience. It is the bounden duty of Govern ment to uphold the law and to punish crime. It is the will of God plainly expressed in the constitu tion of society. Blood has been shed in the streets of Manchester ; a crime has been committed con jointly by the unhappy Fenians, now under sen tence of death, iu their lawless attempt to set two political prisoners free from the hands of justice. They are all of them legally guilty of murder, as having been engaged in an illegal enterprise from which death resulted. None can dispute the fairness of their trial nor the strict justtice of their sentence. We only hope that justice may be tempered with mercy. To those who urge that it is necessary to strike terror into the hearts of the Fenians in our English cities, may we not say that mercy is often a remedy more efficacious than terror ? nationalities to rise and achieve their deliverance by the bullet and the dagger, have been without effect upon the excitable and disaffected section of the Irish people, in whose minds the memory of past wrongs still rankles? That England's conduct towards foreign revolutionists was present to the minds and had its influence on the Fenian pri soners in Manchester was evident from the de claration of one of them, who said, after his con demnation to death for the rescue of the Fenian chiefs, that had such an act been done on Italian soil for the rescue of Garibaldi, not . a city in Eng land but would have rung with applause of the daring deed. The force of this reproof is but too just. England, who erected triumphal arches to a far greater political criminal than these Fenians, who kissed the hand of Garibaldi, dyed redder than his shirt in innocent blood, cannot without a qualm of conscience and deep self reproach lead the Fenians of Manchester to the scaffold, or adjust the halter round their necks. Of course, the crimes of Garibaldi are no justification for the Fenians ; revolution and bloodshed are crimes in Ireland or Manchester, as well as in Italy, but the public approval which the English nation, the Go vernment as well as the people, have bestowed on such crimes when committed in Italy is a strong reason why England, in the case of the Manchester Fenians, should temper justice with mercy.— West minster Gazette. was done in self-defence. lie need not detain them with reading over the whole of the evidence; the case was a very simple one, and he prayed them not to allow anything that had occurred in another place to prejudice their verdict. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Assistant-Judge and the other magistrates on the bench then retired to consider their sentence. On the return of the learned Judge, Mr. W. Sleigh hoped the Court would take into consideration the long imprisonment Groves had already undergone as some mitigation of sentence. The Assistant-Judge said the learned counsel knew very well he could not do that, as the magis trate was quite justified in detaining Groves in custody. The prisoner had now been found guilty of a charge of inflicting actual bodily pain, for which he could not be sen tenced to penal servitude. However, they had considered his case very anxiously, and without being influenced by the practices he had in con templation or the persons with whom he associated, the sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months, and at the expiration of the sentence he should find good sure ties that he would keep the peace for six months Longer. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. ROME AND THE REVOLUTION. Rome is not taken, nor is Garibaldi dead. The Temporal Power is not overthrown, nor have the subjects of the Pope risen in rebellion against him. Prussia, mindful of its Catholic subjects, as not supported revolutionary Italy in its attack - - upon the Papacy. The Government of England has not interfered on behalf of the Revolution, nor has Napoleon succumbed to the threats of European Liberalism. The English newspapers have not had to sing in chorus a song of triumph over the downfall of the Temporal Papacy. Yet all these events were predicted by the Times as on the eve of their accomplishment, and the knell of the Temporal Power was declared, by almost all the Leading papers in London, to have been sounded. ~,_,..~..... ~ ..._r. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 8. It is satisfactory to find that there is no real ground for supposing that the resolution of the Go vernment with respect to the Fenian prosecutions has been in the least shaken by the claim to Ameri can protection set up by some of the prisoners. One of the circumstances which occasioned some misgiv ings in the minds of loyal people who are sensitively vigilant was the postponement of Nagle's trial. This, however; is now fully explained. The Daily Express, noticing the misconception which. existed, says :—" We have authority to state that the case of the prisoner Nagle has been postponed from the Dublin Commission until the Sligo Assizes in con sequence of information received by the Crown Soli citor that Nagle is an alien by birth, and of the advice of the law officers that, by reason of this fact, there were technical objections to the inadmissibi lity on a trial in Dublin of some evidence essential to the prosecution in Dublin, but quite immaterial in reference to his trial in the county of Sligo. The impediment to Nagle's trial was what lawyers call a question of venue. There is no doubt that Nagle will be tried at the spring assizes for the county of Sligo. This assurance will remove the impression which the mere fact of the postponement, without an ex planation, was calculated to produce. At the sit ting of the Court yesterday morning Mr. Heron, Q.C., proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner Costello. He said that in ordinary times he would have no doubt about the prisoner's acquittal, but these were times of panic. In proof of this asser tion he pointed to the gallery, in which there ap peared only six policemen, a few soldiers, and some people " whom he would not insult by saying that they were detectives." The learned gentleman did not add that the populace outside evince little or no desire to be spectators of the present trials. There are no assemblages about the court-house such as were to be seen on former occasions. He thought this panic was not unlikely to be attended with disastrous effects, because in striking down the guilty the innocent were frequently involved. He bore testimony, however, to the " dignified and considerate" manner in which the case for the Crown had been opened by the Attorney-General and asked the jury to discharge their duty calmly and dispassionately. He was not called upon to deny that a Fenian conspiracy existed, or that the vessel in question was a Fenian vessel, but the case against the prisoner rested entirely on the tainted evidence of informers. So pressed were the Crown with the flimiy character of the evidence that, for the first time in the annals of justice, the conversation of a wretched prisoner with his gaoler was deposed to. The solo issue raised was whether Costello was on board the Fenian vessel. He admitted that if the prisoner was on board, under the circumstances stated, he would be guilty. He contended that the evidence of the informers bad not been corroborated and was wholly unreliable. With respect to the letter found in Aylward's boot, it had not been clearly proved to be in Costello's handwriting. In the course of the learned gentleman's address Judge Keogh suggested that a nolle prosequi should be entered upon certain counts in the indict ment, and that the Crown should rest the case upon the other counts. If the jury could not find against the prisoner upon those counts, he would be disposed to tell them to acquit him upon all. The Solicitor-General adopted the suggestion. Mr. Heron then resumed, and argued that there was no reliable evidence to connect the prisoner with the conspiracy for nearly a year before last March. He asked the jury to disbelieve the evidence of the informers, and lamented that the lives and liberties of men should be in the hand of such wretches. The Solicitor-General, in reply, vindicated the administration of the law in this country from the imputations cast upon it by the prisoner's counsel, and denied that the doors of the court-house were closed even against a Fenian. The proper explanation of the absence of the public was that they had-got sick of hearing the details of a conspiracy which had been repeated over and over again. Ile commented upon the evidence, and pointed out portions which could not be called tainted, and which, he .said, corroborated the informers. Mr. Justice Keogh charged the jury. Atter-paying a compliment to the prisoner's counsel for the ability which he had shown, his lordship referred to - the claim which had been set up at the outset of the trial for a jury composed in part of aliens, and ex plained that the law of England repudiated the right of any person leaving the country to throw off his allegiance to the Crown of England. lie cited ICent's Commentaries" to show that the principle of the American law was the same, and that no citizen of the United States could renounce his alle giance to that country without the consent of its Government. With respect to the observations of the prisoner's counsel upon the appearance of the Court, his lordship observed that neither the Chief Baron nor himself believed that there was any im proper interference with the administration of jus tice, nor would they permit it. Reviewing the evi dence, he said he thought the case for the Crown would be very meagre indeed if it were not for two facts—namely, the arrest of Costello so near the place where the 30 men landed, and the finding of the letter in Aylward's boot. If the jury enter attained a rational doubt they should acquit the prisoner. in the language of Chief Justice Burke, he said " Acquit the prisoner if you can ; convict him only if you must." The jury re tired at a few minutes before 6 o'clock. At half past seven they returned into court and asked whether the fact of the prisoner's having come to this country on the Jacknell expedition was corro borative proof of the informers that he was a Fenian on the sth of March last. Judge Keogh replied in the affirmative, and called attention to the fact that his having borne the rank of captain in April was corroborative of the fact that he was a Fenian before that time. The jury again retired and returned into court at 5 minutes to 8 o'clock, when the foreman announced that there was not the slightest proba bility of their agreeing. The disagreement among them was as to certain matters of fact upon which they would require further evidence. They were directed to return to their room, where they re mained for three hours in deliberation, and at 11 o'clock they came back to court, and, repeating the intimation that there was no chance of their being able to agree, they were discharged, and the prisoner was re-committed to gaol under an escort of police and military. The police exercise a very proper amount of caution as to the admission of persona to the court house during the trials, and have excluded some suspicious-looking characters who have been lurk ing about. No other personrexperience any diffi culty in getting in, but the lower classes manifest no interest in the proceedings. Other precautions have been thought expedient for the security of the Crown witnesses. An extra picket, consisting of a non-commissioned officer and 24 men, has been placed at Ship-street Barracks, and were under arms last night in consequence of a rumour that an attack would be attempted on the depot of in formers located in a • court which is opposite the barrack. gaol on the Lord-Lieutenant's warrant. It was stated that documents of a treasonable character were found in his possession, which will be used in evidence at the Commission. _ Mr. Walter Boyd has been appointed to the office of assistant-Crown prosecutor at Dundalk, vacant by the death of Shegog. The Story of a Joint Stock Company. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. How far also Allen and his accomplices are morally guilty of murder is a question not so easily answered. It was not proved on the trial that Allen intentionally killed the poor man Brett who was inside the prison van. Allen fired his pistol into the lock for the purpose of forcing open the door of the van and Brett was killed. His death was not a deliberate killing, though it was an inci dental result of the criminal enterprise in which Allen and his accomplices were wickedly engaged. None of the others had any hand in his killing, nor any intention to commit murder. 'There was no evidence that any but Allen had pistols. It is evident from this fact that the object and in tention of the conspiracy was to liberate the pri soners, not to commit murder. Death, however. resulted from the lawless assault on the police van, and the penalty for this attack and its consequences is death by the hands of the law. Fenianism in its secret conspiracy as well as in its violent manifestations, in its principles as well as in its acts, has been condemned and denounced in the most explicit terms, by the bishops of Ire land and of England, as immoral, as contrary to the laws of God and of man, and as being in con travention to the persistent teaching in every age and country of the Catholic Church. Catholics, therefore, as a body, are guiltless of having given any encouragement whatsoever to Feniauism or to the Revolution in any of its aspects either at home or abroad. Is the Government, is the nation, is English public opinion guiltless of having set an example to the Fenians of Ireland ? Are we not, as a nation, open to the terrible reproach of having preached sedition, nationalism, revolution, in al most every country on the continent? What with no niggard hand we have planted in foreign coun tries has sprung up, to our surprise and scandal, on our own soil. In Fenianism we are beginning to recognise, to our horror, though as yet in a mitigated form, something of the freemasonry of Revolution which has more than once convulsed France to its centre, which has S led to sanguinary civil wars, which has overthrown altars and set aside dynasties in so many countries, and which is now, not as a spent wave but in full vigour, overrunning Italy from end to end. Against this destructive and impious Jacobinism, there was once no more determined and successful antagonist than England. But those times are long past ; for many a day, wherever our influence extended and our tongue reached, we have preached and propa gated Revolution. In this one term are comprised, we must remember to our shame, all the impious movements and conspiracies against social order and religion, from the sanguinary Jacobinism of 1792 to the Fenianism which has just shed blood in Manchester. England, to-day, has to answer to her own con science this serious question—How far has her public conduct encouraged Fenianism in Ireland ? Have not the speeches of her foremost statesmen, more especially those of the Liberal school—have not the newspapers of either party applauded, in Italy and Spain, deeds of revolutionary violence ; and have they not everywhere maintained, except indeed at home, the theory of nationalities, and the right of insurrection ? And did not all classes of the people of England combine to do supreme homage to Garibaldi, the sanguinary head-centre of Italian revolution ? And what have the Fenians in Manchester done which Garibaldi has not done? In his lawless invasion of the Roman States—in his reign of terror at Rome in 1849—he shed the blood, not of one, but of hundreds of men standing up in defence of their Sovereign and. their country ; he is a public blasphemer ; he is a man who sets himself above the laws ; he is a mutinous soldier thrice imprisoned by his own Sovereign, and yet no words of praise which the English language affords but have been lavished on this public misdemeanant. Who then shall say that the praise and the public honour bestowed by England upon 1 a man who has proclaimed the right of oppressed (Before the Assistant-Judge.) TRIAL OF GROVES FOR MISDEMEANOUR. Tho following appeared iu a portion of our impression of last evening:— John Groves was charged with violently assault ing Samuel Buzer with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cooper appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Warner Sleigh defended the prisoner. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said he should not enter into the details of the case at any length, but all he should do would be to detail the facts of the case, and then call witnesses to prove them. Having given a brief outline of the case he concluded by calling the following witnesses : John King, a labourer, residing at 3, Crown court, Great Pulteney-street, said on the 29th of September, between twelve and one in the morn ing, he was coming along Endell-street, when he saw the prisoner and six or seven other men stand ing at the corner. A large van came down the street, and the driver of the van called upon the prisoner and his companions to get out of the way. A man sat outside the van, with his legs hanging over. One of the prisoner's companions called out that that man had kicked Lien in the face, and whilst one of the companions of the prisoner held the horse, others got into the van, and one took the whip from the driver and beat the three men in the van with it. The prisoner was up in the van and afterwards got down. He (witness) was stand ing near, and a tall man, with the prisoner, knocked him down. He got up and was running away, when the same tall man knocked him down, and gave the prisoner a cane, which swung as if it had lead at the end of it. - The man Buzer said it was a shame that they were illusing him, and ran to pick him up, when the prisoner struck Buzer on the head with the cane he had just had given him. Buzer said he would lock the prisoner up, when the tall man gave him another blow with his fist, and then caught hold of another man and began Rinsing him. - A cry of " Police" was raised, and before the officers came the tall man got away, but Buzer gave the prisoner into custody. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Warner Sleigh, but his evidence in chief was not at all affected. Samuel Buzer said on the morning in question he, with his wife, saw the van stop at the corner of Endell-street. Same altercation took place between the prisoner and his mates, when the driver of the van said if he had done anything wrong they had better call a policeman. Some of the prisoner's companions took the horse by the head, and one took the whip and beat the driver of the van. Prisoner was assisting, and whipped the man in the van, and also the witness King. Prisoner also knocked witness down, and struck him with a loaded cane. lie followed the prisoner down Holborn, when the tall man struck him on the side of the head. A policeman came up and he gave prisoner into custody. The prisoner and his com panions were the instigators of the row. lie did not make a rush at the prisoner. King at that time was a perfect stranger to him. No one interfered with the prisoner ; he was not kicked or knocked down at all. King was the only man that was down. He suffered so much from the wound he had received that he was compelled to go to the hospital and get his wounds dressed. He did not know who the driver of the van was. He (witness) was perfectly sober. Stephen Locke, P.C. 143 E, said that on the night in question he was on duty in New Oxford street, and saw a large crowd opposite Dunn's passage, and beard cries of " Murder !" and police !" He went to the spot, and there saw Buzer with blood running down his face. King was standing alongside of him. The prisoner was about two or three yards from them. He asked Buzer how he came by the wounds on . his head, when he pointed to the prisoner and said— " That man has been beating me with a cane loaded with lead." He then took the prisoner into custody, who, as he was being taken to the station, said, " Policeman this is a bad job for me to be locked up. "I hold a*good situation in London, if I am locked up I shall lose it. He (witness) .told him he could not help that. Mrs. Caroline Buzer corroborated the evidence of her husband. Mr. Thomas Flowers, house surgeon to Middle sex Hospital, said —On th e Sunday morning the man top of his he a d. It was a w o u nd instrument would inflict. It WAS Buzer was brough t to the hospital. He had a scalp s w u o c u h n woun d s o on bluntth e not a dangerous one, but it must have been caused by considerable violence. Mr. Warner Sleigh, in his address for the priso ner, said he should have thought that after the im prisonment and mental anxiety Groves had under gone with respect to the charge that had been made against him, of being concerned in the murder of M'Donnell, and of confronting him with that noto rious woman Jenman, the purposes of justice would have been satisfied, without instituting the present prosecution, but that course Lad not been adopted, and he now was again the subject of a prosecution and a charge which he felt the jury would think, after they heard the witnesses he should call before them, that he was not the party that ought to be prosecuted. The matter which had led to the present trial did not commence in the first instance with Groves, or his companions, but the persons who were most to blame were those who were now called to give e vidence against the prisoner. The learned gentleman then called witnesses of the names of Pearson and Kieff, who stated that Groves and a companion, a tall man whom they did not know, together with themselves and several other persons, had been to the Enterprise public house, and that as they were parting the van drove by, and in consequence of one of them remonstrating with the man in the van f o r kicking one of them the row began by King attacking the tall man, and that in all that followed Groves and his friends only acted in self-defence. None of them could give the name or address of the tall man. The learned Judge, in summing up the case, said it was much to be regretted that any matter foreign to the charge they were then trying should have been introduced into the case. The jury had no thing to do with the fact that the prisoner Groves had been iu custody on a charge of murder, which had been abandoned. That was not the business they had to deal with, ant its introduction could only prejudice the casJ against the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that had been placed before them that a number of persons had been to the public house . known as the Enterprise, and that they had walked together to the corner f Eudell-street. It • was.. proved that a man was coming along towards there, and that a man was sitting with his legs hanging over the outside of the vehicle. That being so, it did not appear at all improbable that his feet might have accidentally touched one of the persons. The question for them to decide was with whom the row originated The witnesses for the prose cution appeared to be quite positive that Groves and his companions were the aggressors, whilst the witnesses who had been called on behalf of the prisoner contended that all that happened Yet the reverse of all these confident predictions leas come to pass within three weeks even of their utterance. The loyalty of the Papal subjects tcr wards their Sovereign is now placed beyond ques tion, and so is the powerlessness of Garibaldi and his bands, though supplied with arms, ammunition, and money by Italy, when pitted against the Papal Zouaves. The Temporal Power is now found to have its roots deep in the heart of Catholic Christendom. The energetic will of the Catholics of France is now proved to be more powerful in the direction of events than the desires of revolutionary Italy, fo mented to their quickest by the predictions and anticipations of the Liberal press of Europe. One esson which English journalism may learn from the recent singular discomfiture of their most confident anticipations is, in future to judge of things as they. are in sober reality, to have a profound distrust of the reports of their foreign correspondents in all matters which concern the Papacy, and to take a wider view than that too common among the half educated,in England as to the power and influence, social, political, and religious, of the Catholic Church in the nations of Europe. Besides a lesson of humility to the over-confident prophets of the English Protestant press, the vio- lent outbreak of the Italian Revolution may afford matter of reflection to thoughtful and observant politicians. On the one side they may see the Catholic Church supporting the cause of law, order, and peaceful Government throughout Europe, and on the other the Revolution, disturbing the peace, violating the law, and setting civil as well as reli gious authority at defiance. In Garibaldi it rebels against the orders of the King ; in the voice of Mazzini it calls upon the people tothrow up barricades. If the Government does not yield to its demands, or if the King re fuses to recognize a flag which is not his own, the Revolution calls for the deposition of the King and for the establishment of a Red Republic. All Europe is thrown out of gear because the:revolu tionary party in Italy, by the connivance and aid, indeed, of a weak and unprincipled Government, thought fit to carry on a private war. Blood has been shed again by the Revolution in the teeth of its hypociitical protestations of seeking its ends bylmoral means only. Europe has been brought to the brink of a general war, international law has been openly set at defiance, the sense of right has been weakened, and the stability of civil society has been endan gered—and by whom? By that secret power which is aiming at mastery in Europe. This lawless power has its secret tribunals, which condemn Kings and Emperors to death ; it has laws of its own, and its own code of morality ; it has an active press at its disposal, and it has its irregular armies and its barricades in the streets. Its soldiers have been beaten by the Papal army ; Milan and Turin and Florence are suffering from its organized street riots. The Revolution has been worsted ; Italy, which is under its dominion, has shrunk back from the contest, awed by the presence of the French army, which, in obedience to the claims of Catho lics, has again confronted the Revolution. But although the snake is scotched, it is not killed ; it hisses forth its vengeance. Society is not safe from its secret assaults. Mazzini is again astir, and preaching to Kings and Emperors who will not succumb to the mandates of the Revolution. Hints of secret assassination, though obscurely, are unmistakeably alluded to by the organs of the beaten, but vengeful party. How long is Europe to endure this secret tyranny, and these constant outbursts of violence and bloodshed, these private `gars belonging to a barbarous age, and which can not but end sooner or later in a general conflagra tion ? '.lhe character of the Revolution, its secret aims, and its deeds of lawless violence are now too transparent to leave any room for doubt. What is to be done with it? How is it to be treated? By attacking the Temporal Power of the Pope it hoped for the indulgence at least of Protestant and Liberal Europe ; but it has shown by its con duct towards the King of its own making, that it wages war not alone against the Sovereignty of the Pope, but against all Sovereigns, against all autho rity which stands in its way. It would no more scruple to set aside Victor Emmanuel than it did to launch Orsini bombs against Napoleon. How is Europe to deal with this modern Vehm-Gericht ? The first step at all events, is to give up all con nection and sympathy with its principles. Let the statesmen of Europe denounce its im morality ; let them expose the intrigues and the lies which before and during the invasion of the Papal States have so disgraced the Revolutionary party in Italy; let them publicly describe by its true name this lawless and sanguinary invasion ; let no veil be thrown over its crimes, its blasphe mies and sacrileges ; and the knowledge alone of this gigantic evil, which goes by the name of the Revolution, thus brought home to the public mind, will do much to work a cure.— Westminster Gazette.

OgE IGN NOTES GARIBALDI'S RETREAT; The details of the battle of Mentana confirm the reports we have already given. It is stated that General Missori and Menotti Garibaldi took a prominent and dis tinguished part in the action. The head of the volunteer column was cut off from the main body by the first attack from the Pontificals. They proceeded on their march, and reached a place of safety. An official report of the affair has been published in the Riforma. It states that Garibaldi had ordered all the troops on the Pontifical territory to concentrate at Tivoli. Signor Crispi, the leader of the extreme Liberals, says this was done with the intention of withdrawing his forces. Garibaldi had provided for the possibility of encountering the enemy on the march. In an order of the day he gave directions to guard against such an attack. On seeing the enemy, the tersaglieri and Carabiniers of Leghorn were extended along the heights which rise about half a mile from Mentana They were received with a sharp fire from foreign Chas• emirs and Zouaves. The positions in front of Montana were found unsuitable for defence. The enemy began to dcvclope a movement on the left of the Garibaldians, who thereupon withdrew their line into Mentana, occupying the houses and the castle. Two columns of Chasseurs attacked in front and on the left, and succeeded in penetrating as far as the first houses. Garibaldi ordered the whole line to charge with the bayonet. This was brilliantly executed, and Mentana was recovered. Garibaldi directed from an elevation the fire of the guns. The day seemed won. The Pontificals were losing ground when a new and dense hostile lips appeared on the field. Their heavy artillery and arms of precision caused a heavy loss to the volunteers. The latter disputed every foot of the ground, but victory was hopeless ; the Garibaldians were crushed by numbers, and paralysed by want of ammu nition. It was necessary to save the line of retreat, and the road to Monte Rotondo was secured. The General concentrated his troops for its defence. The enemy did not advance to the attack, though they came within gunshot of the village. He had thus the whole night at his disposal. Garibaldi might have employed this time in reorganising and opposing an extreme resist nice in the elevated position of Monte Rotondo. But after the French and Italian intervention, the political situation preponderated over the military, and further blood. shed became useless. Garibaldi perceived it, and ordered a retreat onPasso Corese. It was executed in the course of the evening, in presence of the enemy, and in excellent order Garibaldi was arrested at Vigline. He demanded the warrant, and was told there was no warrant, but an order from Government. He denied its authority over one guilty of no crime against the Italian Government, and claimed his right in the character of a deputy, a Roman general appointed by a regular' Government, and an American citizen, and declared that he would only submit to force. His friends prepared to defend, but he forbade them, and opposed only a passive resistance. Crispi telegraphed to Florence to the Government for leave to Garibaldi to proceed quietly to Caprera, pledging himself that there should be no demonstration ; but after an hour had elapsed no reply arrived, and Colonel Carnozzi ordered Garibaldi's removal. Four carabineers took him up in their arms and placed him in the train, in which only his family were allowed to accompany him. Italian law allows no filibustering. To commit any act leading to the possibility of a war with a neighbouring Power is a crime under the Italian code. Time was when soldat du pare was no compliment to military men. It reminded, the hearer of Voltaire's mot, that the Pope's soldiers always mounted guard and fought with umbrellas, the only arms they knew how to handle. It seems to be confessed, however, that in the battle Of Mentana they behaved with gallantry. How far the victory was due to General Polhes and his five French battalions is not known. According to the Presse the French left Rome two hours after the Pontificals, and arrived on the scene when the defeat was accomplished. THE ROMAN REPUBLIC. Garibaldi's order of the day, issued from Monte Rotondo on the Ist, is a remarkable document. Therein he states that the Government of Florence has invaded the Roman territory. If they come to aid in chasing from Rome foreign mercenaries who support tyranny, he welcomes them as brethren. He adds : "If, however, those whom we call brethren should, in consequence of the Convention of the 15th September, push their Jesuitry so far as to call upon us to lay down our arms to obey the orders of the Man of the Second of December, then I will call upon the whole world to observe that I, a Roman general, with full powers from the only legal Government—the Roman Republic esta blished by universal suffrage —have the right remain in arms on this territory submitted to my jurisdiction. If my volunteers, the champions of liberty and Italian unity, wish Rome for the capital of Italy, agreeably to the desire of Parliament and the nation, they will not lay down their arms before liberty has been won, before liberty of worship has been established on the ruins of Jesuitry, nor I before the soldiers of tyranny have been driven from o ur country." THE NEGOTIATIONS. It is said that General La Marmora has demanded from the French Government the withdrawal as early as possible of its troops from Rome, on the ground that it was the Italian military authorities who arrested and dis armed Garibaldi, and by so doing fulfilled the wishes of France. The General also declared that the safety of the Pope and the integrity of the Pontifical territory were no longer exposed to risk. Garibaldi and his lieutenant were about to emigrate to the United States. Conse quently, the presence of a French army in the Roman States was unnecessary. The Minister for Foreign Affairs promised to refer the matter to the Emperor, and to take his orders. We have a foreshadowing of these in the announcement by the Patric that the French troops will return to Toulon as soon as the pacification of the public mind in Italy is complete. Austria is the only Power that has yet given its formal adhesion to the scheme of a Congress. The Memorial Diplonzatique, usually well informed, says that "both Italy and the Holy See are willing to agree to this refe rence to the nations." • . The comments of the English press on Italian L.Att,24-4 have given displeasure in Paris. The semi-official Eten. dard cannot understand why we call the defeat of Gari baldi a disaster, since it improved the Funds. This paper is positively offensive towards us. It says the Guards' Insti tute have celebrated the battle of Inkernaan. England has good right to allow no event to pass unhonoured in which her sword has played a conspicuous part. "She runs no risk of too many banquets on that score. The rarity of these anniversaries will permit her to celebrate them deli berately, without confounding, as we are in danger of doing, cde victory with another." Occasionally our brave allies have confounded victory with defeat. Victories we wish to celebrate now are such as were gained in elk, machinery court of the Exhibition. The same paper ludicrously puts side by side with the Garibaldian enter prise the breqd riots at Newton and Crediton. The read ing of the Riot Act at Exeter appears to the Etenclard the counterpart of •Mentana. the Imperialist and Orleanist papers of Paris agree it admiring the statesmanship of the just deceased Co'int Duchatel. He was the last Minister of the Interior under Louis Philippe. To him, more than to any other of the King's Ministers, it is said, was due the corruption of the 200,000 electors who then formed the whole consti• tuency of France. His resistance to all electoral reforms precipitated the revolution.. His last act was to prohibit the public banquet of the 12th arrondissement of Parii. A few days after he was a wanderer in England, and his King had lost a throne. A significant occurrence took place in Paris on Thurs. day. M. Dubois-Caplain refused to pay the octroi duties demanded by the Prefect of the Seine. The sum of 1,700 f. was claimed on the coals used in M. Dubois. Caplain's factory—£6 B for two months' consumption of fuel. A quantity of copper was seized and sold by auction. The manufacturer recommended his friends to abstain from bidding. The goods were bought in by a co•operativs society of working men, who do not deal in the article. At the end of the sale the buyers restored the property to Dubois-Caplain, "in testimony of the sympathy and gratitude which the director and members of the society felt for his courageous resistance on behalf of the Parisian manufacturers and their workmen." The manufacturers of Amiens have sent a letter to the Chamber of Commerce of that town, complaining of the Treaty of Commerce with England. They state that English competition is destroying the French cotton mantfacture. Since the raw material became alrandant they have found it impossible to retain the internal markets In France. The letter adds : "Our powerful rivals are determined to supply us, and aro endeavouring to prove to us that in France there is no need of the industry of cotton•spinning. In their ardent greed they are endea• vouring to reduce the manufacturers and traders of Amiens to be nothing more than agents for the sale of English goods." This address shews that the spirit of Protection in France is not dead. It shews, too, that an agitation against the Treaty of Commerce is to be expected. Already there are murmurs against the treaty among the manu• facturers of Lille, Mulhouse, and Rouen, as well as of Amiens ; and the ironmasters are, of course, both ready and willing to join these people in denouncing it. But it has conferred such great benefits on France that it is believed the manufacturing and the iron interests, power. fnl though they be, Will not be able to , hurt it, MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (Fronz the Anglo-American Times.) We have not received our New York letters, and we are unable to give the latest changes in the Money Market. The course, however, is indicated by the steady fall in gold, which is now quoted under 139. This proves not only that the payment of the 5-20 gold coupons has had an effect, but also that the political prospects were improving. The payment of the 5-20's also accounts for the large shipments of gold lately announced by the steamers from New York for Liverpool. The Secret Society, calling itself " The Sons of Jackson," is actively recruiting throughout the United States, and hopes to balance the grand army of the Republic iu the Democratic interest in the coming Presidential election. General M'Clel lan has been recalled to place himself at the head of his party, and in response to the invitation has announced that he has taken his passage in the Persia, to sail on the 16th inst. The Democratic ticket is finally fixed according to this account, the nominee for Vice-President being also .a military man. The news from New York last Wednesday even ing, that the Democrats had carried the New York and New Jersey elections, will create no surprise. Although the New } ork Tribune exclaimed, " We can carry the State if we will ; we must do it, let us resolve altogether that WE WILL," it was well known that there was little chance of any other result. The Tribune has made a good fight and has been vanquished dying game. As it was generally held by the Republicans that the Democrats would be victorious, the Tribune endeavoured to combat the feeling— " We.tell these seers of evil," it said, addressing itself to those of its party who predicted defeat," whose wish is father to their thought, that a change which seems to be unexpected by them, not only will occur, but is already occurring." If this change was occurring it is clear it had not time to work out its legitimate results, as the cable news proves. The Republicans have, however, carried Massa chusetts, though by a reduced majority. A man named Cooper has been captured and confined in a New York gaol on a charge of passing $lO and $2O counterfeit hank-notes. It is not, however, this charge that excites a very general in terest in Mr. Cooper. He is one of a gang strongly suspected by Col. Wood, chief of the Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department, to have forged the counterfeit 7-30 Notes. That officer, with all his force, has been at work to trace the crime to its source. It has been ascertained that the plates were not made in Europe, but iu the United States, and that Philadelphia had been the head-quarters for printing the bands. It is known that over 1,000 of them have been issued, and it is said that the secret service officers have the clue to the whole proceeding. The prisoner Cooper has been identified by a Brooklyn banker as having passed a number of 7-30's. A telegram has been received by the Royal Mail Company from their agent in Havaunah announc ing a furious hurricane that laid waste the Island of St. Thomas on the 29th October. The particulars of the extent of the storm have not been received, but enough is known to prove the destructive nature of its progress. The finest and fastest of the Royal Mail Company's steamers, the _Rhone, was lost on Peter Island, with £BOO,OOO in treasure on board. She was 2,500 tons and 500 horse-power , Captain T. Woolley in command. The Wye, of 752 tons and 180 horse-power, was also totally lost. The Conway and Derwent were both driven ashore, the former of 890 tons, the latter 79 4 . The Tyne and Solent were dismasted, but the ex tent of the damage is not yet known ; they were two large steamers, the one being 1,916 tons, and the other 1,689 tons. It is feared that the loss of life has been immense. The crew of the .Rhone was over a hundred, that of the Wye was fifty, and a report states that all the former and part of the latter were lost, and only twelve passengers by the steamer for Southampton saved. The Douro left Southampton on the 17th ult., and must have been close to St. Thomas at the time of the hurricane. She is a sister vessel of the Rhone. Fifty other vessels have been driven on shore, and the town of St. Thomas was in r uins. The Royal Mail Company are their own insurers' and a heavy fall has taken place in the value of their. sliares. For some time they have been de creasing in price from various causes. The cost of Reconstruction has been heavier than Congress anticipated, and already the appropria‘ tions made at the extra session last July have bee° exceeded by several thousand dollars. Thus far tb° sums actually expended are stated to be about 0 5 follows :—First District,,Gen. Schofield command' ing, $199,000 ; Second District, Gen.
