THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The quarterly statement of Revenue for the finan cial year ending the sth July instant, will be found in aaotber part of this day's impression. It is not, we regret to say, a very encouraging document, and its appearance would more than justify the "inquiry into the state of the nation," asked for by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire—were it not, for the ulterior objects contemplated by the Hon. Gentle man if his motion should, unfortunately, be acceded to by the House. These simple fig ures, undoubtedly, in dicate the distress and difficulties experienced by the industrious classes more strongly than any language howeverever glowing or en th us i as ti c , cou ld poss ibl y ' depict. They exhibit in the strongest point of view the depressed condition of ou r f ore i gn t ra d e, an d t h e privations endured by those who gain their daily bread by the sweat of their br ows . Th e picture, however, although gloomy, is not altogether d ar k : 4 some bright spots are to be discovered which show that hope has not altogether vanished, and that rea sonable expectations may still be cherished of a gradual improvement in the state of affairs. Those entrusted with the government of the country—more especially the parties whose imme diate province it is to regulate the management of the national finances—should not, however, be sloth ful or apathetic, but should direct all their energies to the measures that may be required to stimulate trade and commerce, and to provide full employment for the labouring classes. For that purpose they must especially direct their attention to the monetary and tscal codes, and practise a strict and rigid eco nomy, by which, w hil e th e efficiency of the national establishments will be fully maintained, all unneces sary expenditure will be scrutinia.d with the utmost care and every job be peremptorily. on h rejected. The first point i n the balance -sheet that will attract attention is th e f a lli ng ael ast quarter as as compared with the cor respond i ng e .1 11 t a ed year. This deficiency amount s to no quarter 468,547/., and the gloomy reflections thereby excited than are not in any degree mitigated by a econsiderationl of the items of which it is composed, In . the Customs the decrease on the quarter amounts to no less than 319,0531. This, however, m ay be in some degree accounted for by the almo s t total cessation of the corn duties, from which, during the year ending sth April, nearly 1,000,0001. sterling was realised ; and also by the reduction of the sugar duties. There is, however, an increase on the year of 9 9 1,7861., a portion of which is undoubtedly as cribable to the same corn duties which bad been sus pended, during the greater part of the pre ceding year, and in some degree to the diminution of every description of importation which followed the commercial crisis of October, 1847. In the Excise, which has generally been regarded its the index to the degree of comfort enjoyed by the working classes, the deficiency is still more remark able. The decrease on the quarter amounts to 453,201/., and there is also a falling off on the year of 66,3201., which would have been much greater, but for the transfer of the carriage and other duties, to which we have already directed the public attention, from the department of Stamps to the Excise. A portion of the quarter's deficiency may, how ever, be explained by the fact that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has consented to the postponement of the collection of certain hop duties, amounting in all to 180,000/., in consequence of the distress and diffi culties experienced in the hop-growing districts, and the great loss sustained by the cultivators. The malt duties also exhibit a considerable deficiency, in conse quence of the partial failure and inferior quality of the barley last harvest. A reasonable indulgence has also been afforded to distillers, by permitting them to postpone payment of certain spirit duties until the spirits are entered for consumption. The receipt of about 20,0001. has therefore only been deferred, and will not be alto gether lost to the revenue. The remaining branches of the ordinary revenue, however, exhibit a more satisfactory appearance. There are improvements to be found in a ll on the quarter, and (with the exception of Stamps and Property-tax), on the year also. The increase on Stamps for the quarter amounts to 62,0571., indicating greater activity in our home trade. The falling off in the year under this head amounts to 345,7001., which may, however, be ex plained by the transfer of the carriage duties, to which we adverted when speaking of the Excise. Taxes show an increase both on the year and quarter—on the former of 32,7971., on the latter of 20,597/. In the Property-tax there is an increase on the quarter of 44,8391., but a deficiency on the year of 49,170/. This is, perhaps, the most important item in the national balance-sheet, next to the Customs and Excise ; for as the Customs indicate the state of our foreign trade, and the Excise the con dition of the working classes, s o the Property tax may be regarded as the best test of enjoyedpthroefepsrsoiospnearlitmyen,ra d e t r h s e , anu flaCr t t uri the middler ,merchants, classes, t traders, and others. Th e incomes of the aristocracy are seldom much affected by the vicissitudes of the times; they receive pretty nearly the same amount whatever may be the condition of the country. The labouring classes are also excluded, for few, indeed, we regret to say, can realise profits to the amount of 1501. per annum. The increase or deficiency will, therefore, represent the gains of the middle classes, and an im provement of 44,8391. will exhibit an improvement amounting to nearly 6,000,000/. sterling per annum in their profits. The Post-office, thanks to the inde fatigable exertions of Mr. ROWLAND HILL, and the judicious alterations effected under his auspices, shows an improvement on the year of 62,0001., and on the quarter of no less than 60,000/. This very satisfactory result proves how efficiently the authori ties have discharged their duties in that important department, more especially as, in addition to the improvement in the revenue, many additional facilities and increased accommodations have been afforded to the public. In the Crown Lands there has been an increase on the year of 59,0001., and on the quarter of 30,0001. This item may, however, be very materially im proved by a due attention to the ma nagement. The Honourable Member for Glas gow has pointed out in his admirable letter to his constituents that 500,0001. per annum might easily be realised from this source. In the Miscellaneous there is an increase for the year of 54,1581., and on the quarter of 60,9131. The above items comprise the whole of the ordinary revenues of the country, and it will be seen that there is a falling off on the quarter of nearly 494,0001. In the extraordinary revenue there is a de crease under the head of Imprest and other Moneys of 58,7251., and an increase on the Repay ments of Advances of 84,0281., showing an improve ment in the extraordinary revenue of 25,303/. There is no other point calling for any particular notice. The above observations will show that while there is yet a hope of better times, the utmost attention must be devoted by the Minister of Finance to the " state and condition of the country." Oppressed by many grievous reminiscences, and yet more grievous forebodings, the Quarterly Review has considered the subject of Democracy. " We regret to say," such is the final sentence of this most melancholy article, " that we never concluded a re view of the state of our own country, or of Europe, with less of comfort fur the present, less of confidence for the futurP, or with a greater perplexity as to the probable solution of the complicated difficulties that are gathering round the British Monarchy." These gloomy reflections have apparently been occasioned, in part by a perusal of M. Guizox's recent pamphlet, in part by a consideration of the adoption of universal suffrage in France, and in part, and more especially, by a recollection of the great triumph of the Anti-Corn-law League, and the fearful precedent which that triumph holds forth. But, not withstanding the intolerant spirit of the re viewer, he occasionally, and with the utmost naiveté, makes use of expressions so much at variance with the principles he is laying down, that we are again and again tempted to exclaim with GRATIANo, "I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word !" For example—" Has not agitation," asks the re viewer, " become a kind of chronic fever among us of the same kind as that which assumes an acute character in France under the form of eineutes? They are both," he goes on, " the heavings of the demo cratic deep," but—and let the distinction be well remarked—"our better formed ship and more ex perienced crew still manage to keep the sea in com parative safety, while our neighbours, less practised in the exercise of popular rights, are on the breakers. Let us endeavour to profit by their experience, and let us hope that we in return may hold out to them the signal of a safer course." To which aspira tion we most heartily respond. Free as the French people are at the present moment, they are as the reviewer justly remarks, " less exercised than ourselves in the practice of popular rights," which circumstance is at once the cause and the pal liation of those errors and excesses on which this same writer here lays such great stress. Often since the dawning of the revolution of 1848—when the vicissitudes of time and human fallibility have failed to realise the bright prospects then held forth, when the enthusiasm of many once ardent hearts has grown cold, and others, like MACAULAY, have imagined that the preservation of civilization might require the extinction of liberty—how often have we had occasion to remind the lovers of Democracy of the truth of the old adage, " Rome was not built in a day." Continental nations, like even France herself, are, as the Quarterly has just told us, less practised in the ex ercise of popular rights than ourselves. Time, and the sterner teaching of experience must develope their latent capabilities and discipline—their im mature yearnings for the possesion of constitutional freedom, which possession once acquired, and rightly made use of, will lead the way to all other civil blessings. This fact, namely, the progressive nature of constitutional privileges, is also corroborated by this very article in the Quarterly, where, in coinciding with an opinion expressed many years back by Sir R. PEEL, that, " bad as the Re form Bill was, and in principle is, it is the duty, and indeed the only hope, of the Conservative interest to endeavour to support and maintain it—even against its authors, though," very wisely observes the writer, " we cannot venture to:promise a successful resistance to a principle of progressive force, that ',ties acquirit eundo." Such a promise would be indeed a delusion. When the sluice gates are once opened the waters of the long pent - up torrent rus h f o rth irresistibly, and in like manner, despite the arguments of M. Guzzoir and the lamentations of quarterly reviewers, the spirit of Democracy which has already asserted its power so triu m ph antly, will, ac Democracy,qng strength paramount. As as it proceeds, ere long reign universally an evidence of the tri ump h of universal suffrage is especially abh orrent i n t h e eyes of the Quarterly. Quoting the authority of Bus t in disparagement of abstract principles, it proceeds r - y determinately to condemn the ide a of nulabvee having any influence in the formation o f a Govern ment.' Arguments advocating the superior claims of the intellectual and educated classes may appear very plausible (and to a. , :ertain extent we agree with them), but the chief claim here put forward by the Quar terly is for the influence of property. It might be inferred, from the reasoning of this article, that if one man, by purchase or inheritance, or any other means, became possessed :of all the landed property of the kingdom, that one man should legally have a more powerful voice in the government of the coun try than all the other inhabitants of the kingdom put together. Of course! because the influence of numbers is ridiculous. With such notions floating through his brain, the gloomy visions conjured up by the Quarterly Reviewer will have little effect in damping the ardour or diminishing the exertions of the real friends of Democracy.

The emission of Three per Cent. Exchequer-bills to the amount of 25,000,000 florins, which the Bank pledges itself to discount, to meet the immediate wants of the State. "3.

General CAVAIGNAC has published the following letter in reply to the calumnious insinuations (for they did not dare to attack him openly) of the journals of the " White Terrorists," that he had been intriguing to obtain the baton of Marshal of France. The letter is dated the 4th July. " Monsieur le Redacteur,—A journal, in an article in which I am not named but sufficiently indicated, affirms that in a recent circumstance I failed in my hopes or my pretensions to receive the dignity of a Llarshal of France. " Will you be kind enough to publish the following reply, which I have also addressed to other journals in Paris? "On the 21st December last, I withdrew from the hands of the President of the Constituent Assembly himself, a proposition presented by one of my colleagues, tending to have conferred on me the dignity of marshal. I could easily have reckoned on the emotions of that day to have received such a decision from the feelings of the whole Assembly. I did not wish it, and what I would not have accepted from that Assembly, could not become more precious to me from any other Government, or under any other circumstances. " The insinuations, of which I am now the object, lead me to give an explanation which I had fur the period when one of the organic laws came under discussion. That explanation will make it evident that it was im possible I ever could, even in the most indirect manner, have manifested any of the desires or pretensions that have been imputed to me. "The rank of marshal is a dignity which enjoys nre• rogatives; and in that light I consider it as incompatible with the spirit of Republican institutions. That dignity is now enjoyed by illustrious soldiers, whom our life has been employed in admiring and respecting. The mar shalship recalls to mind glorious souvenirs; it should exist as long as those warriors exist, but it should ex pire with them. " The command-in-chief should be a rank exercised on the same terms and on the same conditions as others; it should not, under a republican Government, constitute a dignity or prerogative. " Hereditary rank and military and civil dignity form the necessary cortege of monarchical Government; in a republican one they would constitute an anomaly in which I never could or ever shall have an idea of uniting myself. " Receive, Monsieur le Redacteur, the assurance of my distinguished sentiments. (Signed) " General E. CAVAIGNAC." The trials of the accused of the 13th June will take place at Versailles. M.

M. SATI, the aavocate of the Republic, opposed the application, on the ground of the incompetency of the Court. The Court declared, after due deliberation, that the Constitution of 1848 having pronounced the legality of the state of siege, it was incompetent to entertain the application, and condemned the plaintiff to the payment of the costs.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 5. ITALY. The following communication from the Austrian Government, asto the advance of Austrian troops into Tuscany and the Legations, has been presented to both Houses of Parliament : (Translation.) " Vienna, April 29, 1849. " M. le Comte—The Government of the Emperor has sent to Marshal Count Radetzky orders to advance troops as well into Tuscany as into the legations. "In deciding upon this measure, we have only re sponded to the demand which has been addressed to us to this effect, on the part of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, as well as on the part of the Holy Father, the latter having at the same time applied for the armed intervention of Prance Spain, and Naples. " The object of our intervention is no other than the re-establishment of the legitimate Governments and of legal order. Whenever this object shall have been attained, and, thanks to the co operation of the sane portion of the population, it will be so, we hope, shortly, our troops shall retire. "As regards the intervention in the state of the Church, we could have wished to have been allowed to wait until the decisions of the Conference of Gaeta, while placing in relief the agreement existing between the powers whose support the Holy Father has espe cially claimed, had given to their endeavours combina tion and uniformity. "France having decided by the expedition to Civita Vecchia to act in advance of the decisions of the Con ference, we do not the less hope that the object at which her isolated efforts aim, will prove to be the same as that which the four Powers had been called upon to effect by common action. " For our part we only wish to comply with the wishes of the Holy Father, identical with those of the civilised world, by co-operating within the limits of our means to restore to the chief of the universal Church his liberty and independence, which Catholic populations cannot with indifference see destroyed to the advantage of an anarchistical party. France, if we examine it well, can have no other object. I, therefore, willingly believe that the measures of the two Powers, while they may appear to be dictated by different impulses, will not bring about any conflict bet w een them; tut, on the contrary, will lead to results equally conducive to the well-being of the people of Central Italy, and to the cause:ot general order. " I beg you, M. le Comte, to allow the principal Se cretary of State to read this dispatch,—Accept, &c. (Signed) " FCHWARZENBERG." The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 30th ult. ' states that a letter received from the Sardi n i an Chargé d'Affaires to the Court of Lisbon, dated Oporto, 18th ult contradicts the telegraphic dispatch of Bayonne, which lately announced the death of CHARLES ALBERT, and gives the following bulletin, No. 3, of the above date :—" The illness of King CHARLES ALBERT still presents distressing symptoms. His MAJESTY anxiously awaits intelligence concern ing his august son, VICTOR EMMANUEL. It further adds that the physicians of Oporto expressed but little hopes of the patient's recovery, stating that the acute physical and moral sufferings of the ex- KING were increased by his anxiety about his son's illness. By this time the Prince of CARIGNAN and Dr. RIBERI, late physician to the august patient, must have arrived at Oporto. By Royal decree of the 30th June the Parliament of Sardinia is summoned to meet on the 30th inst. The cannonading at Venice continues. In a recent sortie the Venetians took two Austrian Generals prisoners. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT.

NOREION ENLISTMENT ACT. (Before Justices COLTMAN and MAULE The trial of Prince Granatelli, Louis Scalia, and Captain Moody for an alleged infringement of the Fo reign Enlistment Act, in equipping and arming two English war steamers, called the Vectis and the Bombay, to proceed on an expedition to assist the insurgent forces against the King of the Two Sicilies, was resumed this morning. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived. The contents are unimportant. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 30.—The funds were well maintained, the Three per Cents. being 26 9-16 paper ; the Fives 101 paper. Exchange on London, 50 45 money. William Smith Allen was called and examined by Sir F. Tut siGER—He said: 1 am a joiner, and have worked at that trade nearly all my life. I know the Bombay steamer; I worked on board of her for some time. I was engaged to do work by Mr. Gier. I ".first went to work on board o f h er i n Octo b er, and cont i nued work ing in her down t o some t i me i n Fe b ruary. Th e B om b ay was lying in the East India Outward-bound Docks, There were others working on board the vessel. A short, darkish man, thaj they used to call " the Colonel," was on board the vessel giving orders. The vessel was fitted up in a very splendid manner, as a ship of war, or something, more so than a merchant-vessel. I never saw a merchant- vessel fitted up as the Bombay was. She was much stronger than any merchant vessel I ever saw. I know the mail boats. There are 100 cabins on board the mail-boats. I should not think the cabins in the Bombay exceeded twenty. There was metal upon her deck for the traversing of her guns. There were fresh timbers, called carlens, put in for the purpose of strengthening the deck where the guns traversed. There was a powder-magazine placed on a deck below the cabin. There were shelves in the magazine, and I if-ov a tin canister in it. There were racks for guns and swords made at the shop; but I did not see them fixed. There was a door leading into the powder magazine. When the door was closed I could see there was an opening place there. Cross-examined by Sir F. I 1) LLY—Mr. Gier engaged me to work. He is foreman to Mr. Pitcher, a large ship builder, who builds ships for the Peninsula Company. This dark-looking man who gave the orders was none of the defendants. I am sure what I have been stating vessels, I was on board the Ganges. I mean that the applies to the Bombay, and no t t o the Ganges or other carlens were put into the Bombay between October and February. the employment of that firm, but had quitted the estab lishmenr at Easter. At no time had he any authority to draw cheques under any circumstances. The same wit ness deposed that another cheque for 471., now produced, was also in the prisoner's handwriting; but no further evidence was given on that head. The prisoner was remanded tilt this day week. Thomas Rhodes called and examined by Mr. CLARK sox—In March last I was at Liverpool, looking out tor a birth. I know Capt. Moody. He employed me. I re member the Vectis. I belonged to her. Capt. Moody exa mined my papers before I was admitted a seaman on board the vessel. When I shipped I understood the vessel was going up the Mediterranean. I sailed under Captain Bingham, to whom I was introduced by Captain Moody. Captain Bingham commanded the Vectis part of the time I was in her, viz.. till we arrived at Palermo. The ship's articles were read by Captain Bingham and Cap tain Goss. There were two Sicilian officers on board, one of whom was named Castello. I did not know the name of the other. We had thirty-five seamen on board. We sailed on a Saturday morning in March, the second or third day after I saw Captain Moody. We put into Lisbon, some repairs being necessary to be made in the engine. We remained at Lisbon three days; we went thence to Gibraltar. We remained several days off Gibraltar. We had a little cargo to put on board the quarantine ship. Costello used to be Cap tain. He seemed to take the command of the vessel occasionally out of Captain Bingham's hands. Costello sometimes altered the course of the vessel, and seemed to have the superior command. We did not touch at Malta. We did not go direct to Palermo from Gibraltar; we went direct to the island of Sicily, off which a e lay for some little time. Captain Costello went away from the ship in the lifeboat to see it Palermo was blockaded. He boarded another vessel; he returned and put the vessel round in the direction of the north-west of the island of Sicily, having first brought a lot of Sicilians on board, so many as nearly to sink the vessel. The Sicilians were of all classes, from the priest to the pauper.—(Laughter.) The Sicilians brought a flag on board; it was a tricoloured flag, with three legs of a man in the middle and a man or woman's face, I could not tell which.—(Laughter.) We made for Palermo afterwards, and in our way we fell in with a small steamer; we then hoisted the Sicilian flag. The Oriental Company's colour flag was flying from the " gaff " of the mainsail ; it was the company's private signal, in the shape of a diamond. Before we got into Ptilermo we lowered the company's signal, and hoisted a Sicilian signal instead. Undoubtedly, I did not like this foreign signal—(Laughter)—and I knocked off work. The whole of the crew were landed at Palermo next day, and were lodged in the Castle there. We were afterwards put on, board a steamer, and sent to Syracuse. Cross-examined by Sir F. KELLY—I was in the capa city of an able seaman. If we came home at the ex pense of the company, we were to have 51. a piece; if we found a ship ourselves to come home in, we were to have 71. 10s. The agreement was for two months, and if we exceeded the two months, we were to be paid ex tra. We proceeded first to Lisbon and Gibraltar; thence we went to Trapanna. We then proceeded to Palermo, which was understood to be in a state of blockade, and we proceeded to Trapanna. Afterwards we learnt there was no impediment at Palermo, and we went thither, and landed at that place. There was no ship of the Oriental Company at that time at Palermo. We were afterwards put on board the Philip Auguste, French steamer, rind taken to Syracuse, from which place I came to England in one of the Oriental Company's steamers. I have received part of my wages. The in stant I saw the statement about these proceedings I came up to London, and offered to give evidence for the prose cution. I was to be paid 21. 10s. a month, and IGs. week for my board wages, from the time when I went and offered to give evidence. That pay is continuing at this moment. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool was very active yes terday, the sales being t stimated at from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, including 10,000 American, at aid. to eid.; 150 Pernams and Maranharr, at 41d. to 4id.; 400 Bahia, at sd. to sfd.; and 300 Surats, at 3id. 34d. The mar ket closed very firmly. Compared with last Friday's rates, prices of the current qualities of American,•44d. arid under, are rather against the buyer. The market for Railway Shares was very flat. The Corn market is moderately supplied to-day, and Monday's prices are fully supported for Wheat. Oats are not in great demand, though fully as dear. The Mincing-lane produce markets have been duller this week for sugar, coffee, and, most of the leading staples, which are in larger supply. Holders generally, however, are not forcing sales, trusting to a renewal of demand. The large colonial wool sales are going higher than the last series by ld. to 2d. per lb., and will con tinue for many days. The accounts received to-day from the Continental money markets are of the same satisfactory tone, generally speaking, as for some days past. At Paris the quotations of Stocks and Shares are steadily rising, and the Bonds of the Spanish Home Debt are two per cent. higher. At Amsterdam on Thursday there was no particular change, but some animation existed in the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Spanish Three per Cents. were in greater favour, and very animated. Por tuguese Bonds were in more request. The Frankfort Bourse on the 3d inst. was not animated; Austrian Funds and Shares, however, had risen a little. The Berlin market on the same day was very buoyant, and the rise in securities generally made progress. Shares were in great request. Accounts from Buenos Ayres and Rio do Janeiro, to the 3d and 12th May, were received yesterday after noon, by a private ship, arrived at Portsmouth, and these inform us of trade being very active at the first-mentioned place, though excessively dull at Rio, which is greatly over-supplied with goods. How shippers can persist in glutting markets, the consumptive power of which is in adequate to take off the merchandize sent, it is really difficult to understand, and we feel no surprise at the announcement that auctions were being held to force off the surplus stocks, but that consumers took very little, and speculators still less. The improvement at Buenos Ayres we can account for, the long continued blockade baying caused a great reduction in the stocks, and it is worthy of remark that Monte Video does not participate, because Roses will not permit im ports from that place. Thus fabrics are lying there un saleable, and the only resource seems to be, as we are informed by a merchant in the trade, their reshipment to California. The revenue accounts for the quarter, as we anti pated, has not excited much observation, and the returns are allowed by the impartial, taking into consi deration the loss of the corn duties, &c., to be quite as satisfactory as could be expected. The Funds are very firm again to-day, and the market has an upward tendency for most English Securities. Consols have been 92 to for special transfer, and 92k 4 fur the settling day. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cent 3. have been 92k j, and the Three per Cent. Annuities 92 to k. Bank Stock has been marked 194 k to 1951, and India Stock 2481. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 445. to 475. premium. In the Foreign Market, very little is doing, but Spanish are rising here as on the Continent. The Three pr Cents. have been done at 331 to 34 ex-div. Portu guese Converted Five per Cents. are 27k. Russian have advanced to 1051. Buenos Ayres are 43 to 44, and Brazilian 82 to it. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are nominally 50 to 51 ex div. Shares are quiet as regards most of the railways North-Western have touched 32k prem., but since have been done at 31. Midland are heavy at 32k discount. Edinburgh and Glasgow, East Lincolnshire, Great. Western, and South-Eastern are scarcely so good. York and North Midland are higher. French Shares steady generally. By Sir F. THESIGER—My wages as an ordinary sea man were 2/. 10a. a mouth and my rations. Charles Macculloch was called—l have been em ployed as a stoker on board steam-vessels. I know Captain Moody. I saw him at Liverpool in March. I applied to him for a berth, but he did not give me one. He said he had no charge of the ship Vectis at all; I must go to the engineer, which I did, and the engineer engaged me. I was afterwards on hoard when the ship's articles were read; I believe Captain Moody was present, but I could not speak posi tively. I heard the ship's company say Captain Moody was to be our general. I went out in the Vectis, and came home along with the rest of the men in the Indus, and was discharged at Southampton. Cross e - About o s to give dDC giving evidence. ro i g e I anything w a asked for Richard Potter called , and examined by Sir F. MM.. er i rhti b e otit not five een we eks promised GER—I was the qunter-master on board the Vectis. Captain Moody eneaged me. I remember the ship's articles being read; at that time Captain Moody was present. The Vectis was fitted up with two large swivel-guns; and there were strong beams underneath the guns for supporting the deck. There were magazines also. I went out in the Vectis. (Witness then corroborated the evidence of the preceding wit nesses as to the course the vessel took, and the incidents on the voyage. Girolomo Rinondo, a young Neapolitan sailor, about 22 years of age, was next called, and said, through an interpreter—l am a native of Palermo. I was not in distress about the beginning of the present year. In January or February last I went to Brook-street to see Prince Granatelli to ask him for some directions how to go homo to Sicily. The Prince asked me where I sailed from, and I said Palermo. The Prince asked me whe ther I would like to go to Sicily, as there was a revolu tion going on there;J said, yes. The Prince said, if I would like to go to Sicily I might go on board a steam vessel called the Bombay, lying at Blackwell, under the command of Captain Moody. A person called D'Amico was also on board. The Prince said the Bombay was going to Palermo on an expedition against the Neapo litan Government. The Prince said, I was a young man, and if I would go in the Bombay - I would be in service there, and would get twelve dol lars a month, clothes and victuals. I said I would go. The Prince gave me directions where to find the vessel at Blackwell. The Prince said I would find the captain there ; and Mr. D'Amico would be in his (the Prince's) house shortly, and he would give D'Amico instructions about me. I afterwards went to Sherrard-street, Golden square, to see the Prince. The Prince gave him a card (produced). It was after I received that card that I went by the direction of the Prince to Gerrard street, where I saw Captain Castillia, and I would hear what he had to say. The captain used arguments to prevail upon me to go to Sicily, on board the Bombay ; mentioning as an inducement, that a young man had previously gone there, and been promoted. Sir F. KELLY objected to the witness being at liberty to repeat in evidence conversations which he had had with any of the defendants, or persons presumed to be their agents. There was in that something repugnant to the first notions of justice. The JUDGE overruled the objection. Witness resumed—M.Castillia told me therewas another steamer, at Liverpool, and that I might either go tae twelve do dollars a mon ti th e , with him or with the Bombay. The Prince told me against w sto Neapolitan he Government. Castillia was the captain of the steamer at Liverpool. , C y a er ti e lli g a o t i o n l: me I victuals, and clothes. Castillia told me those v esse l s said nothing else on that occasion. I then went to Blackwell and got on board the Bombay. She was lying in the basin, inside of Blackwell. I found l)'Amico on board the Bombay, and Ca • ptanaMoody was in command of her. D'Amico said to me, when I went on hoard, was I a Sicilian. I said yes. D'Amico asked me who sent me there ? I said Prince Granatelli. D'Amico said he would speak to Captain Moody about me. Captain Moody asked me whether I would like to be the steerer of the ship ? I replied that I would. Captain Moody said that the wages would be twelve dollars a month, and if I would come there in the c,.urse of a week he would tell me more. D'Amico said to me, "You are a young man ; courage i we must go forward, and if we die our friends will be let off."—(Laughter.) He then told me to come the day atter the morrow to try the steam. I went on that day, and I found the Prince D'Amico and Captain Moody on board the Bombay on that occasion. Captain Moody commanded the vessel when the steam was tried, and there was a pilot on board. She went to Gravesend and returned about five o'clock. I was on board when the circles were laid down for the swivel guns. After the trial was over, I had a conversation . _ _ _ ONE O'OCLCK. ; t.• ,:•41 , G PRICES or ninsa FUNDS PRICES. dark z•tozi. I 195% 1941 194 1 / 2 3 ,e , Cent. Reduced Anne ...... 3 per Cent.

He ordered me to go on shore, saying he did not want any thing more to do with me. Cross-examined by Sir F. Kzu.s—l had been ship wrecked before going to see Prince Granatelli. I was then in necessity, but not very great. I had previously asked the Neapolitan Consul for assistance, but he said he could not give me any, as I was not under his flag. He said he could not do anything for me; but he told me to go to Prince Granatelli, as he was the person who would do for the Sicilians. I did not tell the Prince what had passed between me and the Neapolitan Consul. I saw Captain Cas tillia three or four times. Captain Castillia told me yesterday, outside of the Court, he would give 1001. if I would stay away from the Court. I never said to Cas tillia that the Neapolitan Consul had promised me a sum of money if I could get an engagement on board the Bombay.—(Here the witness was asked to step for ward and touch Prince Granatelli; he stood forward and touched Scalia, but not the Prince, which elicited much laughter.) Cross-examined by Me. CHAMBERS (without an inter preter)--I could understand what you say in English, if you were on board of ship.—(Laughter.) The name of the Consul for Naples is Gerone. He did not give me any money.—(The witness here began to speak ca pital English, which occasioned much laughter.) Since I left the Bombay I have received 14s. a week from Signor White—(Laughter)—the Neapolitan Minister's solicitor. I have been sworn to-day according to the Sicilian form of oath. If Ido not tell the truth, I must suffer for it. (Here the witness's face became suffused with emotion.) I have never said that the Neapolitan Consul told me if I did not stick to the story I have told to-day I would be sent to the gallows. I deserted from the Venia, a Sicilian vessel, at Liverpool, before I applied to sail in the Bombay. If I had gone back to Sicily I would not have been punished as a de serter for deserting the Venia, because there was a revolution. On my way from Plymouth to Londo n I sought charity, representing myself to be a shipwrecked sailor. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) Australian 3 ...... 43/4 BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The arrival of English Wheat having been small dur ing the present week, the show of samples of that ar ticle here this morning was limited. Very few buyers were in attendance. The finest parcels sold at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday ; but the mid dling and inferior kinds were a very dull inquiry, at barely late rates, and at which a total clearance was not effected. Upwards of 11,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand, and the supply on offer to-day was good. All descriptions were a very slow inquiry, and those out of condition ruled the turn in favour of buyers. We had a good demand for grinding Barley, at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were quite as dear. The arrivals are small. Malt, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly at lest week's currencies. Good sound Oats were scaree, and quite as dear as on Monday. Damp qualitiee ruled inactive. Both Deane GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORTAND BADEN. The 'Frankfort Gazette publishes the objections of the Hanoverian Commissioners to the Constitution promulgated by Prussia, Hanover, and Saxony. They state that the German Constitution cannot be settled, nor can the German Diet be convoked with out the consent of Austria. Seeing that Austria is now, and must ever continue to be, neither more nor less than a Russian province, we can only regard these attempts to make use of her name as endea vours on the part of the German Princes to dena tionalize themselves and, Russianise the whole of Germany.

COLLET'S ENTERTAIfr MENT. On Monday evening this gentleman gave his ente r tainment entitl e d "L yr i cs of Freedom,' at the Nation Hall, Holborn, t o a crow d e d and respectable audienc e ; The profits arising from this concert, we learn by It ) programme, are to be added to the subscriptions now , progress for the widows and orphans of the men slain I: A defence of the Roman Republic. As will be gather' from the title of th e enterta i nment, the songs, duets, El consisted of several o f t h e most sp i r i ted production. 'a Handel, Beethoven, Purcell, and Bellini, an some very beautiful Irish melodies. The talent ° . lecturer commenced his entertainment with o f sketch of the anci en t hi story of the musical efforts n i the Hebrews and Rom ans , an d gave as an illustration "4 the former Avison's trio and chorus " Sound the le% timbrel." " The Lord is a man of war" followed, f ail i then we had Handel's splendid chorus, " 0 never b ° we down." This ch orus was most sp i r i te dl y perfor.cne ,1, and was rewarded w i t h very great app l ause. I n int r o ducieg the n at i ona l mus i c of Ireland, we think t h e I .e cs turer diverged most unnecessarily from his subJ e o to give vett to his political feelings, and made P oo of some ver y sta l e c l ap - trap remarks 11P,1,0 the cond u ct o f some o f t h e M em b ers of Pie House of Lords. With thi s s i ng l e exce p t i on the ce ie j cert seemed to please everybody, and it is to be regr!l`4, that it was marred by such misplaced observat lo 7,/ " 0 breathe not his name" was very effectively given? Miss Norman and Mr. Curtain. Miss Thornton k o serves great praise for the beautiful manner in w" ~ 0 she gave Moore's " FareA ell Erin," and Dr. An n 0. " Where the bee sucks." Of course we had the e el brated revolutionary chorusscs, "La Marseillaise r o t " Mourir pour la patrie ;" we need scarcely add t e il e o were applauded to the very echo.
