ITALY. The telegraphic account of the fall ef Roms, which has been received by the French Government, of course, forestalls any intelligence that would have been received direct from that city. The behaviour of M. DE BELEM, at Ancona, is described as having been cruel in the extreme. That gentleman, who commanded the French steam-boat Panama in the harbour of Ancona, positively refused to afford any assistance, or to grant any refuge to the inhabitants, unless they placed the city under the protection of France ; and on the corn- Mencetnent of the Austrian attack, he at once sailed away in order to deprive the unfortu nate citizens of any refuge, leaving French subjects and French property unerotected rather than offer the slightest ground of offence to Au-trig. The Statute of Florence of the 21 stetes that the Grand Duke was expected there on the Bth or 10:11 inst. It further mentions a rumour cur ent at Bo logna that RADETZKY, now at Mestre, had opened ne gotiations with the Venetian Government. A letter from Perugia of the Ist announces the arrival there of the Austrians on the preceding evening. The Re- Publican troops, not being strong enough to attempt resistance, retired to Foligno with two pieces of C annon and a quantity of arms. The President of the province also withdrew from the town. Letters f rom Sinigaglia of the 29th ult. state that the bom bardment of Ancona had begun at noon on that day and continued all night. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) 113 WN CLERK OF LITCHFIELD EX PARTE CHARLES SIMPSON. 11l this case Mr. Whately had obtained a rule calling upon the corporation of Litchfield to show cause aby mandamus should not issue demanding by what authority t hey r. fusal to pay Mr. Simpson, who was the town clerk until the passing of the Municipal Corporation Act in 1839, an annuity, fom the 9th of September in that Year, of 58/. Hs. 2d., which had b7en adjudged as a Proper sum by the Treasury. The date, however, was f rom alt e red by the same a athority, to commence 4 rurn 1844, in consequence of reptesentations made by the corporation. It was contended that the first decision of the Treasury was final according to the Act. Mr. Sergeant TAISOURD was briefly heard against the rille this morning. The COURT made the rule for a mandamus absolute. JORDAN V. BICRLET. In this case a rule had been obtained calling upon the Sheriff of Middlesex to send in a return to a writ which had been placed in his hands for the purpose of levying on the property of the plaintiff. A levy had been made, but BO return had been made. Mr. Luse (with whom was Mr. Burchell) contended that the sheriff was not compiled to make a return to a writ until the purpose for which it had been placed in his hands had been fully satisfied. It partook of the nature of a writ of sequestration, which ran until fully executed, A sheriff could make more levies than one under a single Writ, and the person on whose property they were made could at any time move the Court for a rule for a return of what ho had seized. In this case the law had not been fully satisfied. Mr. %UNWELL contended tbe rule ought to be made s.t.t?solute, or that the matter should be referred to the blaster to ascertain the value of the property already seized. A wr i t was returna b le immediately after a I.vy had been made—otherwise a sheriff might go on levyieg f or Years harrasing a debt. Lord D EN3IAN sa i d the wr i t did not appear to him to have,. be en f ully executed though one levy had been made. T he sheriff could yet proceed under it. The plaintiff balibt rule the Court at any time for a return.

The tr ators disagreed, a nd the umpire made the award, witc h in substance was in favour of the defendant.

No fraud or col brelrftwas alleged on the part of the arbitrators, and, e -- Jra, refusing to hear a witness. which might be an idgment, to which all judges were liable, was c)t a sufiicient ground for acceding to the application. a Pen the second po i nt the C ourt a l so t h oug h t t h e appli ti9a ought to be ref wed.

I There was no opposition offered to bankrupt's passing ts examination ; but on a proof bang tendered, Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the assignees, to oppose. The solicitor to the creditors (whose namo did not transpire) said that as he was taken by surprise by the opposition, he must request an adjournment. His HONOUR assented. Most of the claims and liabilities are on account of railway companies now defuLct, and most of them are disputed. uRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY. The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced to-day. t Th e RECORDER, in his usual a dd ress t o th e gran d t_., ll rY, stated that there were 200 prisoners upon the slender, ma n y o f w h om were c h arged with o ff ences of ri_ nus character, but from the nature of the deposi tur ns it would appear that they would have no difficulty __ll dealing with them. The only case which he more 13,nrticulariy alluded to was that of the person who stands e Carged with shooting at her Majesty, although there i _cs no reason to suppose he had any intention of shoot or injuring her Majesty, the act committed was an `t:ceedingly mischievous and dangerous one, and ought ra cet with an eq i va l ent amount o f punishment. Under ir veci co nt statute w hi c h, he thought, could not be too th e „ku()wn, it was a misdemeanour, and was liable to Il eet ruishrnent prescribed for such an offence. The to thrder then read a portion of the statute which applied th e "IP. and expressed an opinion, from the nature of ..,ucrositiors that the jury would have no difficulty ed-itutdcien'Aing upon sending it for furtker inquiry. After to th "g to other cases in the calendar, he remitted them e discharge of their duties. 13(31 T w W- SIRE' T.—(THIS DAY.) n 4rno - Young men, of very gentlemanly appearance, 1 . 1 , Paterso n an d P ancra ft, were charged before Mr. i 41' , With being drunk and &sorderly, and in ith knock the doors o f h ouses in Holborn on Saturday night eg e . 4 ft e t an unseasonable hour, and without reasonable e ,,, Poll the ev id ence o f two po li cemen t h e 'Magistrate 2, : rmted th em , en d i n sentenc i ng them to pay a fi ne of the' each; he said that he had the power, and very much wh inclination, in such cases to s en d y oun g, gentlemen p ° go about t own a t. n i g h t d runk, and disturbing _e.nple i n t h e i r bedsat uns-asonable hours, to th e H ouse ui Correction for seven days.

ThEre was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturda3 - , and priers of a:I kinds were firmly ma,inteined. The sales were utimated at 6,000 bales. including 2,000 bales for export, and on speculation.—The ma-ket for Railway Sharks was dull and heavy. The Corn Alitket is dull to-tlay, at list Monday':; prie=r, but the supply- of Wheat is short. Their , are no late ship arrivals from any quarter to day, with news of general interest. The American steamer is ex pected to-day at Liverpool. The reports are more favourable to-day from most of the Continental money markets. There wag a good business doing at Amsterdam in the Date% Two-and •a- Null per Cents. yesterday, the (dosing price being 49. Austrian bonds were in more rtquest; Mexican ad vanced, and French Stocks were d=ecidedly lower. The Berlin Mtrket on the 7th instant was in a very favair able state, and prices improved. Business was very animated. At Vienna, on the sth instant, the funds wrae firm, and from Paris we have higher quotations. _ Generally Ise find a better feeling prevailing in City circles, and should the Roman affair be settled, there would, In doubt, be an improvement. As regards busi ness prospects, they necessarily huge urou the state of politics and of the Kuney Market, sad there is at home nothing di:zouraging• in eithtr. In the Cotton manu facturing districts there has been a fair business doing recently. From Birmingham we are advised, in Aria's Gazette, upon the state of the iron trade as fullovis : " The depression is every branch of this trade still continues, nor has the declined reduction of 20s. in price been followed by the slightest revival of demand. On the contrary, it seem; to have had a prejudicial effect, and, combined with the astounding disclosures that salts of manufactured iron had been previously made from 20-. to 30s. below the nominal rates, and that good mine pigs were in the market under 34 per ton, has done much to impair general confidence and to prostrate any expectation of an early revival of business. The workmen, as was ex pected, have quietly acceded to the proposed reductions in their wages, and, doubtless, would be quite satisfied could they be assured that the present rates would be permanent, with a sufficiency of employ ment. The latter, however, is becoming very precari ous. Several furnaces in the neighbourhood of Wolver hampton have already been put out of blast, and the amount of work done in mills and forges has been con- siderhbly reduced. Many others are preparing to re sort to the same alternative rather than lock up their capital in large accumulations of stock, from which the probability of again realising a profit seems indefinitely remote. The cause of this unexpected stagnation is by some referred to the interruption of our commercial re lations with Austria, Germany, and other States on the Continent ; by others, to the unparalleled depreciation of agricultural produce at home, and the destruction of our colonial interews. These, no doubt, are active agents, but it should not b 3 forgotten that a great error has been fallen into by the iron masters themselves. Attention has been repeatedly called to the anomalous exhibition of a continually-increased production, by the erection and putting to work new furnaces, by the im mense enlargement of works, opening of new mines, and all other pri-parations for extending the make of iron, while the sources of consumption have been gradually, though, perhaps, not quite so rapidly, contracting. The results of this infatuation, aggravated by the circumstanus above mentioned, are now being developed. In the meantime the dulness has been em livened by accounts of important deputations to the Secretary of State, and to the Secretaries of Railway Committees, and also by a rather personal correspon dence containing sarcastic observations, and the expo sure of some recipes for ensuring sales, which might, without much disadvantage, have still been allowed to :lumber in oblivion. This novel method of puffing is generally looked upon as rather infra dig., and by no means calculated to enhance the high position the iron trade has hitherto maintained in public opinion." The Funds are looking-up to-day, and the Bank broker has been a purchaser. As yet there is very little to justify a positive opinion as to whether the set tlement will show a Bull or Bear account.

From Ireland and Scotland about 5,000 quarters of Oats came to hand. Frem abroad we re ceived 9,741 quarters of Whtet, 4,733 ditto of Barley, 27.118 ditto of Oats, 1,245 ditto of Rye, 234 ditto of Beans, 10 ditto of Peas, 43 ditto of Tares. 11 ditto of Rapeseed, 54 ditto of Mustard Seed, 850 ditto of Indian Corn, 62 dive) of sundry Seeds, and 1.704 sacks of Flour. Letters from the Centinent state that the supplies of Wheat and Flour offering in the various markets con tinue large. Rather erensive quantities have been purchased in France, Holland, and Belgium for shipment to England, at low prices: The weather has set in somewhat cold, yet our accounts respecting the appearance of the growing crops are very favourable. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn ing's market from Essex and Kent was very moderate —that from Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, See., small in the extreme. The show of samples of both red and white was trifling; hence, the demand for all descriptions ruled tolerably steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected prior to the close of business. Tho general con dition of the Wheats was good. With foreign Wheats we were tolerably well, but cot to say heavily supplied. Selected samples which were scarce sold at fully previous rates. In the middling and inferior kinds, very few sales took place, at late currencies. One or two float ing cargoes were taken for the westward, at full prices. The arrivals, since Saturday evening, have been small. We had a much smaller show of Barley samples than for many weeks past, owing to which there was a slight improvement in the demand. Grinding samples were inquired for (chit fly for shipment coastwise), at extreme quotations. The value of malting and distilling sorts was well maintained. Notwithstanding that we had a very limited quantity of Malt on offer, the demand for that article was in a very sluggish state, and late rates must be considered almost nominal. Very few parcels were offering for forward delivery. Coastwise, the receipts of Oats have been trifling since our last; but the importation of upwards of 27,000 quarters from abroad produced a good show of samples. All kinds met a Blow inquiry, at bar, ly stationary prices. with Beans we were ecantily supplied, and )et the sale for them was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. The demand for Peas was wile lly in retail, at late figures. Indian Corn sold at very full prices. Parcels were taken for shipment to Ireland. at from 32s to 36s 6d per quarter. Flour, both English and foreign, met a slow inquiry, at our quotations. =AL MEASURE.

The continuzd low prices in this market operate against importations of Lye stock from abroad. During last week the total arrivals did not exceed 2,405 head, against 3,788 head at the corresponding steek in 1848, and 3,554 head at the same time in 1847.

The late importation of preserved Meat from Buenos Ayres has been submitted to public competition since our last, and been withdrawn at sd. per lb. The arrivals of foreign stock at the various outports have been small. From Ireland, 127 B, acts, and 152 Sheep have come to hand, by sea, for our market. Fresh up, this morning, the receipts of home fed beasts were seasonably exten sive, and of full average quality. The attendance of buyers was email; yet, as the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade was steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. The general top quotations for Beef was 3s. Bd. per 18Ibs. In extreme cases rather more money w4s paid. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots, short-horns, and home-breds ; frcm the western and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runts, I)evons, Sze.; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 250 horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the bullock supply was derived from :Abroad, and t;.e neighbourhood of Landon. With all breeds of Sheep we were fairly supplied. Gene rally speaking, the Mutton trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations, and at which a total clearance was not efh med. The number of Lambs was large, while the demand for that description of stock was heavy, at a decline in value of quite 2d per Blhs. Calves—the supply of which was good—sold slowly, at the late decline in value. The tale for Pigs was heavy, at hardy late rat s. Ink the offal.

She was about twenty-ft ur years of age. A coroLer's inquest will be held this evening, at the Savoy Palace, Savoy•street, Strand. CRUELTY OF TUE AUSTRIANS.—For the honour of humanity we had hoped to be spared the recital of such atrocities as the Vienna Presse (Ist June) fuel' records. The indignation which even this muzzled organ of despotism cannot absolutely stifle, a ill be widely spread through every country where a spill of manly feeling survives. We give the paragraph wi'hout further comment .—" Vienna.—According to our ad vic4- s from Pres,burg. a married lady, convicted of cor respondence with the insurgents, has been sentenced by a court•tuartial to the punishment of flogging, and the sentence has been executed. Our correspondent states that even those of whose good disposition towards the Government there can be no doubt, are indignant at so barbarous an infliction. We lament, mostly deeply, that such a punishment could be awarded. We can hardly believe that the penal laws, tinder which military com missions exereisa their functions, leave no discretion to the judges, to substitute some other penalty fur one so deeply wounding to the ideas and feelings Of modern civilintion. We rfally must not give the Magyars and other enemies of Austria such proofs that savage laws can still be put in execution among us." BLACKHEATH GOLF CLUB. — The gold medal an nually presented for competition by the noblemen and gentlemen of this celebrated club, which has now been in existence for more than a century and a half, was con tested for on Saturday, on Blackheath. Some very fine play was exhibited, and at the conclusion of the game it was declared that the Rev. W. Marsh had carried off the prize in 143 strokes. On the reassembling of the members at the club-house, it was stated that a golf club had been formed at Bombay, and that the members had done this club the honour of forwarding a medal for competition, and that the contest for the same bad been appointed to take place on the second Saturdiy in Oc tober. I❑ the evening the members dined together at the Trafalgar Hotel, Greenwich, when the gold medal was presented to the winner with all the custo mary honours. EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.—At an interesting meeting of the Church of England's Your.g Men's So ciety for Aiding Missions at Home and Abroad, held at their Sloane-street Branch Institution, on Friday even ing last, the Rev. W. Cadman, minister of Park Chapel, Chelsea, in eulogising the society , an d o ther similar re ligious bodies, observed that a little time back there were no such societies. The cause of this was subsequently explained by the rector of the parish, the Rev. Richard Burgess, who showed that the reason why they did not previously exist was mainly because of the then all absorbing nature of business. Now, he added, that success to a certain extent has marked the efforts of the Early Closing Association, we find s3cieties of this kind springing up. Similar testimony to the extensive bete fits which the Early Closing Association is calculated to confer, and has already actually conferred on the com munity, was borne by the Reverends W. W. Robinson and W. Niv, n. THE DAVIS' STRAITS FISHERY.—The well-known whale ship Abram, is now fitting out at this port as quickly as possible for a voyage to Davis' Straits. We understand that Lady Franklin has purchased a con siderable share in her, and although she is to be fully equipped as as a whaler, instructions have been given, it circumstances are favourable, to search Smith's Sound and Jones's Sound in quest of Sir John Franklin. She is to be commanded by Captain Granville, late of the William Ward, of this port.—Hull Packet. INCREASE OF RAILWAY RECEIPTS.—The increase iu the receipts on the leading lines of railway for the week ending the 2d of June, as compared with the cor n spending week of last year, is extraordinary and un precedented. On the Lancashire and Yorkshire, with 100 . additional miles opened, the increase is no less than 8,3301.; en the Midland Counties, with only 40 addi tional miles, the increase is 4,600/.; on the London and South-Western, with an additional 20 miles, the increase is 3,600/.; on the Landon and Norte-Western, with en addition of 7 miles, the augmentation is 3,250/.; on the Great Western, with an addition of 40 miles, there is an increase of 2 500/ ; on the London and South Eastern, without any afaitional mileage, 2,5001; on the Man cheAer and Sheffi, Id, without any increase of mileage, 2,400/ ; on the London and Brighton, with the same mileage as in the corresponding week of last year, the increase is 2,100 L; on the Eastern Counties, with 27 additional miles, the augmentation is 1,700 L; and on the Caledonian, with the same mileage, it is 1,5001 All the other lines base increased, more or less, in the amount of their traffic, and, now that trade is improving, it is expected that the increase will continue. Nothing can be more calculited to recover railway property from its increase eAß i no i t c h e A t r c ar D G as A sheEreNgGiivNe En.s—lll undue depression thin su c h encourag i ng accounts of an recom cat nding Baron Von Rathen to try the condensation of carbonic acid gas in his locomotive air -bottles, generating it from such carbonates of lime as marble or chalk, we scarcely expected to hear so shortly of a definite inven tion for the very purpose.

IMPORTATION OF ZINC. —An importation has re cently taken place of a parcel of rods of zinc, rolled pre paratory to being made up or converted into bolt: ; and although the zinc in the form alluded to might be consi dered in a crude or rolled state, the officers of the reve nue considered it to be chargeable with duty as being in a partly manufactured state, and therefore the importers urged a request to the authorities for their decision. L was considered doubtful whether duty could legally be charged on the article under notic which was stated to have undergone no other process of manufacture than of rolling, and therefore directions have been given for the admission of zinc, when imported in the state mentioned, free of duty.

TO THE SECRETA.II.I( THE I ii ET HOPOLITA N REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 6th, the Bankrupt and Insolvent Members Bill, notwithstanding a consider able display of opposition, was read a second time by a majority of 55 against 45. There seems a proba bility that in a larger House the opposition may yet preponderate, and lead to the surrender, under com petent precautions, of the privilege against legal pro ceedings for debt now possessed by the Members, in stead of the present courting of unjust and crooked interference, with nothing gained but the gratification to individues of declaring their opinion that they are better and more prudent than their neighbours. Surely if the House were to frame a method by which any of its Members might be given up to the operation of the ordinary law cf debt upon due notice given, it would be more for its independence and credit then a pharisaic enactment capable of actirg as an inducement to the fabrication or disco- Very of debt with a view to the destruction of a poli tical opponent. There is hardly a Member in the House against whom some claim fur the debts of an Association,—as, for example, in the well known in stane3 of the Reform Club's claret,—might not be di rec:ed as the means of either alarming him into pay ment, or shaking him in his seat. There is not a sharp practitioner in London who does not know, that if the proposed law passes, the Member of Parlia- Mt at will always be the best bird in the covey to aim at. The Affirmation Bill, which is for E x en ding the permission of affirmation in lieu of oaths, was on the same evening read the third time by 73 against 51. This process is generally held sufficient for allowing a Bill to pass. But on the present occa sion the opponents of the Bill rose to speak on the motion that the Bill do pass, while their friends to the number of 22 (being the exact previous minority) were brought up from the places where they were to be found ; and it was only by the other side bringing up four new votes, that the Bill was passed. This may be slow process ; but nothing ever goes backward. Oa Thursday there was not a House; being Asect day. On Friday, in one form or alto., the House was occupied with debates on Irish distress. The case seems simply parallel to one where a ship's provisions should have been found to have sunk unexpectedly through the bottom. There is absolutely no remedy, but that those whose provisions are thus gone down, should be fed out of the stocks of those who have any left. There is no use in complex speculation ; the fact is short and terrible, that the support of the people has vanished, and they must consequently die unless something can be done towards supplying the deficiency. If the food in the country was a fixed quantity, as it is in a fleet at sea, there would be no remedy but putting everybody, the lady passengers included, upon short allowance of bread. But in a commercial country there is the resource of buying less claret and more Indian corn, importing fewer opera singers and more macaroni. A good governor of a furtress, or an admiral who had been at sea on two-thirds allowance, would perhaps have a livelier idea of the position of the case, than the majority of the House of Commons. In the course of the evening the former scene was repeated, on the subject of the exclusion of strangers. The reporters for the press were exclUded, came back, and were excluded again, and strangers of all kinds continued excluded, or at all events none were present, during the remainder of the sitting ; all to the great discontent of Members who had various operations . in hand, the knowledge of which they counted on coming to their constituents. It is pro bable this new experiment will lead to the House taking some order for remedy. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, June 11, 1849. PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sia,—ln The Sun of the Ist June, 184], you have inserts d the enclosul, wherein Louis Napoleon tells Madame De Faverolles he was allied with Russia, Austria, Sweden, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, Baden, and Portugal. Would not this alliance justify the fears of the French Republicans, that he aims at a coup d'etat? And is not the recognition of the Republic by Nicholas a dust thrown in the eyes of the nation preparatory to his recognising the empire ? The re•printing of that article would be interesting to the French Republican people. May 28, 1849. A LIBERAL. (From The Sun of June 1, 1841.) The Commerce of Saturday contains the following letter from Louis Napoleon, complaining of the undue severity exercised towards him during his imprisonment at Ham. The Commerce introduces the letter in the following manner:— "We have received the following communications. Our respect for misfortune, and our constant desire to concur in alleviating all uncalled-for rigour, make it our duty to give them the publicity of• our journal. We trust that the Government will appreciate the claims thus made on its consideration and on its generosity• We desire it for the sako of the prisoner who suffers, and for those who think themselves compelled to guard him : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCE. " Sir,—l have the honour to enclose you the copy of a letter I have received from Prince Louis Napoleon, and of a protest addressed by him to the Council of Minis ters. I trust to your impartiality for the insertion of these two documents in the earliest number of your journal.—Receive, Sir, the assurance cf my perfect consideration. (Signed) "' May 28, 1841.'

" Madame,—l send you a copy of the protest which I have addressed to the President of the Council, v 6 hich I beg you to have inserted in the journals, and to send a copy on my behalf to the Ambassadors of all the Powers with whom I am allied—viz., to the Ministers of Itus,ia, Austria, Sweden, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, Baden, and Portugal.—Rneive the renewed assurance of my friendship._ (Signed) " NAPOLEON LOUIS B.' " " I PROTEST. " Citadel of Ham, May 22,1841. "'For the nine months that I have been in the hands of the French Government I have borne every oatrage patiently, but I can no longer refrain from speaking, nor authorise oppression by my silence. " My position ought to be considered in two dif ferent points of view—on its moral and on its legal side. " Policy has rights which Ido not dispute. it would be just for the Government to act towards me as towards an enemy, and to remove from me the means of injuring it; hut, on the other hand, it is inconsistent to treat me, the son of a King, the nephew of an Emperor, allied to all the Sovereigns of Europe, as a common prisoner. "‘ In invoking foreign alliances, I am not ignorant that the plea has never been of use to the conquered, and that misfortune breaks all tie:; but the French Go vernment ought to recognise the principle hich has made me what I am, for this principle is the cause of its existence. The sovereignty of the people made my uncle Emperor, my father King—and 1 am a French Prince by bieth. I have, therefore, a right to the respect and rega-d of all those with whom the vote of a greAt people royalty, glory, and misfortune a7e of any weight. " If, for the first time in my life, I boost of the chance which presided at my birth, it is that pride be longs to my position, and that I have paid for tt e first favours of tortune by twenty-seven 3 ears of trouble and suffering. " As to my legal position, the Court of Peers has created for me an exceptional punishment. " In condemning me to perpetual imprisonment, it has only legalised the decree of fate, which made me prisoner of war; it has endeavoured to ally humanity to policy by kflicting the mildest punishment for the long est possible time. " Accustomed from my earliest infancy to a life of hardship, I do nut complain of the inconvenient simpli city of my dwelling; but Pcomplain of being subject to vexatious measures which are not necessary to my safe keeping. During the first months of my captivity, all kind of communication with the outside was denied me, and in the inside I was kept perfectly aloof ; but since several persons have been admitted to communicate freely with me, the internal reArietions have no longer any object. " It is, however, since the time that these rettrictions became useless that they have been more rigorous. The attendance of a faithful servant—who was permitted to follow me into captivity—meets with every annoying ob stacle. "'So much terror has been instilled into the minds of the garrison and the employ6s of the citadel, that they scarcely dare to look towards me, and it is with great danger to their interests th at t h ey can be P9re one who evinces any wish to s o f ten the rigoursl:' Eve of my captivity, even without deviating from their duty, are threatened to be d enounce d to the authorities and dis charged frem their posts. " In the midst of that France, which the chief of my family has rendered so greet, I am like au cx coninaunictated b,ing of the thirteenth century; every one flies at my approach as if my very breath wire contagious. " But this insulting inquisition, which pursues me into my chamber, which attaches itself to my steps when I go to breath the air of 11ea . % en in a retired corner of the fort, is not confined to my person; it extends even to my thoughts. My family letters, the outpourings of my heart, are submitted to the most rigid censure, and if a lett , r expresses too much sympathy, it is sequestrated, and its author denounced to the Government. It appears as if it were wished to remind me every instant that I am a captive, and to cry incessantly in my ex's, J 7 te "`lt is not unimportant here to mention that none of the measures I have pointed out were adopted against the Ministers of Charles X. (whose chambers I now oc cupy), and yet those Ministers were not born on the steps of a 'Throne; they had not been corAlemred to simple imprisonment, but to a punishment more severe— banishment. In fine, they were not the represcntative:, of a cause which is the object of the veneration of France. 4 , "The treatment to which I am subk eted is nei;ker just, legal, nor humane. If those that. order it think by oat means to vanquish m*, they are deceived; it is not outrage, but kindness which softens the heart of these who starer. (Signed) " LOUIS NAPOLEON B." HOME COLONIZATION AND EMI ! GnATroN. TO THE EDIToR OF THE SUiV SIR,— A s a poo: i•jc.otilLran, located amid 360 COO souls in G;risgow, the greater proportion of whom exist by dint of manual labour, ekeing out a scanty subsistence by frugal economy on 301. or 401. per year, permit me a corner for sheer charity to explain that emigration amongst such is all the rage just now ; and, truly, skill in labour is the status of success in distant regions, without which capital is valueless. But although this truism is acknowledged, it is not so used to the advantage of labour in ii,fant settle ments as it may become by a judicious economy. As a labouring man myself, whose education, obtained from parish schools may be deemed scanty at Oxford or Cambridge, but ample by assiduity and diligence in itlechanics' Institutes, &c., and private study, to subserve an honest turn, has served to make me think for myself, and not lean my judgment on the wisdom of senators or sycophants, nor priests or bishops. I think that in Scotland, with 3,000,000 acres of land laying waste, there is no • urgent mcessity for such tens ut thousands of the worth and stamina of our classes of workmen hurry ing from their nativity as if from a plague -spot. I say it is cruel in them to do so—cruel to their country, themselves, and families. Ample land invite their cultivation at home. Ah I it is Said, entail and primogeniture forbid its reclamation. My Earl and my Lord This, and my Major That, and my Honour able Sir yonder, has nae weans, and of course nae interest in seeking redress or riddance of an obnoxious entail law, which as respects England does not exist. This is the nuisance that smells rank in our nostrils, and, until redressed, will, after all, send tens of thousands to the wildernesses of Australasia and other regions, who, in event of reme di a l h ome efforts being made, wou ld, in preference, reclaim the wastes of home and impart comfort to themselves and increased wealth to our too big aristocracy. An effort of this sort must be made ere long—an effort to rouse our indolent lealdocracy to benevolent exertion in the reclaiming of home, not foreign waste lands. I have no sinister view. I wish the welfare of my countrymen. I know they will find a home and a country anywhere, and so may I, at the very antipodes; but if at home, our own country, the "land of the mountain and the flood," why not ? It is embalmed in affection's deepest memories, and to me the very prospect of tearing these asunder is not only cruel, but, as stated, uncalled for. At the very least it must be admitted by the most fastidious, that, contemporaneous with an emigration movement, a Home Colonization Waste Land Agency ought to be conjoined; and betwixt the two, a coun terpoise or medium weight will balance the move ment and duly indicate the pulsation. I ask, will it not? I would willingly enlarge, but I forbear. Snatching a few hours from rest after a day's toil (twelve o'clock evening).

SIR, —There is a remark somewhat uncalled for in your account of the Ilebhurn pit explosion, which in duces me to say that I believe (and ycu may take my opizion for what you think it is worth), if high. pressure seam ventilation had been tted in that mine, the lives of the thirty-three persons killed would have been sa►ed. Your obedient servant, G OLDWORTIIY GURNEY. London, Jana 9, 1849. DESECRATION OF THE DEAD.—HORSHAM, SUSSEX, SATURDAY.—The town of Horsham and the villages lurrounding it have teen during the last few days in an extraordinary state of excitement, arising out of t h e per petration of the following uutrages:—On the night of Wednesday last the parish church of Laughton, which is a retired village, a few miles from Horsham, was forcibly entered by the means of the belfry door, and a second door leading into the vestry having been forced, a strong oaken chest, supposed to have contained the communion plate, was broken open, and an ancient pewter flagon, which had not been used for centuries, was taken away, as also a communion cloth. The thieves, not satisfied with the sacrilege they had already committed, proceeded to break open the family vault of the Earls of Chichester, which is under the chancel of the church, by removing a slab of marble which covered it. The miscreants moved one of the coffins from the side to the middle of the vault, and with considerable violence wrenched off the inscription plate, but, discovering that it was not silver, as was expected, it was left behind. Every exertion is being made by the rural police to discover the perpe trators of this enormity, but their efforts are as yet un successful. THE DEPARTURE OF THE AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—This splendid steam-ship, which made her last homeward voyage from New York, including the d:Lur at Halifax, in about 111 days, sailed for Boston via Halifax to-day about noon. She had sixty-seven passengers on board, and carries out the weekly mails for Canada and the United States, in charge of Lieute nant Butler, R.N. 'The day was exceedingly fine, and many persons congregated on the piers to view the noble ship as she steamed down the river, under the command of he r faithful and energetic commander, W. Harrison. The Canada, Captain Judkins, which sailed from New Yolk on the 30th ult., is expected on Monday morning. ACCOUCIIEMENT IN AN OMNIBUS.—On Saturday afternoon the following singular occurrence took place in a Chelsea omnibus:—lt appears that a female named Wineford Keby, wife of a mechanic living in the Queen's road, Chelsea, was proceeding to the Borough in an omnibus. When the vehicle arrived opposite the Opera House, Haymarket, she was seized with sudden illness, and the nature of her complaint soon became apparent to all, for in a few moments she gave birth to a fine male infant. All the male passengers immediately alighted, except a surgeon, who happened to be in the omnibus, who, with the assistance of a lady and her servant, at tended to th© mother and child until they arrived at the Charing-cross Hospital, where Dr. Golding and Mr. Steggall, the resident medical officers, were in attend ance. The mother and child remain at the hospital, and are doing well. THE DREADFUL CHILD MURDER AT BERMONDSEY. —On Saturday an inquiry was opened . at the Britannia public house, Nelson-street, Snows fields, relative to the death of Mary Anne Ogden, aged five weeks, who etas drowned by its mother in a copper, at No. 14, Guy street, Snows-fields. It appeared from the evidence of John Henry Ogden, the father, who is a porter at Guy's Hospital, that on Wednesday afternoon he returned home, and upon knocking at the de. or it was opened by his wife, who had the deceased in her arms. It was dressed in a night-gown and looked very pale. Witness was alarmed, and asked chat was the matter with it, when she said it was dead. Witness replied, "It must be in a fit;" but-he immediately afterwards - discovered that the child was deed, and on asking his wife how it happened, she unhesitatingly said, " I have killed it." Several persons then came in, through witness raising an alarm, and took the deceased from its mother's arms. Witness had every reason to believe that the mother had put the child in the copper, as there was no other person in the house at the time. She afterwards told him, in reply to another question, that she committed the act about eleven o'clock that morning. After some other corroborative evidence, the jury unanimously agreed to a verdict of Wil:ul Murder. The witnesses were then bound over in the usual way to prosecute. THE MISSING ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Our readers will be interested to know that one more attempt will be made this year, amongst ourselves, in addition to those organized by Government, to obtain some intelli gence of the missing Arctic expedition. The whaler Abram is now being strengthened and equipped at Hull, with the view of searching Jones's Sound and its vicinity. Lady Franklin off e r s a spec i a l reward for this service. The Abram will sail i n a few days, with a very effcctive. crew. It is affecting to observe the restless energy with which Lady Frankli n d evotes h erself to the task of 80E -o:Wig aid in all directions for the t ff.e'ual search of those seas to which her bill hopes and fears are uncea-ingly d rented. The night -errantry of the world is summoned by her on this path of adventure. She has r # d esident Taylor for the help of Amer can ships, and urged upon him the example of the Russian Government, which, in conformity with tier earnest demand, has pro mised to Sand cut exploring parties this summer from the Asiatic side of Behring'a Straits, northwards, in search of the lost vessels. Tne President has given a p rom p t and favourable answer, assuring Lady Franklin ofeAntmioen-. Ame rican sympathy and co-operation.

" Taking 10 years off for infancy—which is too much."—yes! far " too much." Mamma's dailing Jacky, as Papa knows to his co: t, is carnivorous long before the completion of his tenth year—but "taking 10 years cif for infancy," although "it is too tril.ch," and allowing a man " 4 pounds of flesh meat per wet-k" (too huh: for an alderman, but more than a hurg'ess can get held ot), the consumption at the close of three score years and VA), anicunes, a c . cording to " our own" Cocker, to 12,4801 b., or 89915 t, ; or to 156 sheep of 801 b. cacti, or 20 bullocks of 441st. ; or, to take it still another w:y, to 78 sheep and 10 bul locks, " with 6st. over," which may stand for poultry, fish, sze., " :.,ay 20 of each in the year," or 1,200 poultry, 1,200 fish." But "if we take it in shrimps and shell-fish" (cud " all is fish"tiw comes to cur correspondent's net), "[haven only knows what animal l fe is destroyed to keep up the life of that one animal, man!" At
