Nothing doing at Tattersalls. MOIVEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts received from the manufacturing dis tricts this morning mention that during the past week there has been little change of importance in the principal departments of business. At Man chester, however, prices for both cloths and yarns have given way to a slight extent. The woollen trade at Leeds has continued moderately active, chiefly, however, on goods for home use. At Leicester there has been more animation in the hosiery trade; and in the hardware districts, par ticularly in the neighbourhood of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a steady business has been transacted in goods suitable to the home markets. Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were a shade higher. The sales were 15,000 bales. The influx of gold into the . Bank of England continues on an extensive scale, £120,000 having been taken there on Saturday. The Orwell has arrived this morning from Australia with £155,000 in gold. The half-yearly interest on Peruvian 3 per Cent. Bonds has been announced for payment on and after the Ist proximo. _ _ There is still an abundance of money, and the rates, although exhibiting no material variation, continue to present a downward tend( ney. Bankers and others being anxious to employ the vast means at their disposal, are freely negotiating good com mercial bills as low as 3i per cent., and in some cases business is negotiated at a fraction under that quotation. The result is that very few enquiries are made at the Bank of England, and a reduction in the official minimum is considered imminent. The market for English Securities opened with a heavy appearance, owing to sales for transfer, which caused a decline of per cent. Purchases, however, have since taken place which have created a firmer tone. Consols, after being 931 for money, and 931 t- for account, are now 93/ ) and 93t respec tively.

At Hanley Castle, a beautiful neighbourhood of Malvern, Sir E. Lechmere, a p larg shaded proprietor in the parish, assisted by the farmers of the dis trict, held a harvest-home on Friday. The farmers, spla bourers, and their families atten ded Divine service at the parish church in the morning, and afterwards di toge ther, men and masters, in a large te nt. After di nner a few speeches were made, and the rest of th e evening was ned ent in rural sports and other pastimes. At Elmley Castle, a similar gathering was held, and at Rushock, on Wednes day, there was a harvest-home or labourer's tea-party, i n ieu of the annual " mop" or statute fair, which efforts are being made to abolish. A registration society has been es tablished for the purpose of facilitating the hiring of ser vants and putting a stop to the annual scenes of license and debauchery that take place at the mops" or statute fairs. The labourers were addressed by the curate of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Watts, and after tea a dance was sti uck up, the parties enjoying themselves to their hearts' content until nightfall. 3arly L tin g girl D the ance. and ived. te, a dan- was geon, , and, BMUS s de s un- I acts ,t the leven venty the ) con duty. i and in its then Ltered Both it re iately bares led in rards, .

Last week's imports were 2,257 bales from Algea Bay and 474 from Port Natal. CORN EXCIIANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat and the trade, on the whole, ruled steady, at quite previous rates. Barley, oats, beans, and peas, were firm, at fill quotations. Flour was in good demand, at extreme currencies. On the continent the wheat trade has colitinued firm, and prices have been well sup?orted. In America the transactions for export have beet tolerably extensive. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. From abroad we received 11,205 quarters of wheat; 2,488 of barley; 37,908 oats; .2,330 beans ; 117 tares ; 2,013 linseed ; 8,335 rapeseed; 233 maize ; 30 sacks and 20,464 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very limited, but nearly the whole of the supply came to hand in good condition. For both red and white qualities, there was a good demand, and prices, com pared with Monday last, exhibited a further improvement of is per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive. A fair business was done for export to France, and the trade generally ruled firm, at quotations, in some instances, in favour of sellers. TALLOW. our market is very moderate ; stationary. To-day P.Y.C. is he spot, and at 48s. 6d per spring The business doing in nevertheless, prices rule quoted at 48s. per cwt. on I delivery. Floating cargoes of grain were in good request, and the currencies were fully supported. The demand for barley, owing to somewhat increased, though by no means extensive, supplies, was rather less active ; nevertheless, all kinds were disposed of at fully previous rates. In malt, the transactions were only to a moderate extent, at late rates. Good and fine oats moved off steadily, at full prices. In ferior parcels changed hands slowly, yet their value was maintained. The supply of beans was small, and all qualities sup ported former prices. The peas on offer realised extreme rates. For flour there was a toler ably active demand, and the tendency of prices was decidedly towards further improve• ment. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The list was very light, the cases during the morning being for audit. IN RE SARDINE. There was a meeting for choice of assignees under this estate, the bankrupt being a licensed victualler in Totten ham-court-road. There was no statement of accounts. Mr. E. C. Lewis, for the assignees, said that there were no assets in hand at present, and applied that the considera tion of the allowance should stand over. Order accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE.—A VIGILANT CABMAN.—John Bevan, a respectable-looking man, described as a mathe matical instrument maker, was charged as follows Thomas Owers, of Francis-street, Chelsea, cab-driver, said—On Saturday afternoon about two, while driving down Regent-street, I was hailed by two persons who got into my cab, the prisoner being one of them. They ordered me to drive to Charing-cross, and soon after they got in a 'busman gave me the " office," and I looked into my cab when I saw on the seat the prisoner was sitting on some blank cheques, and observed the other person examining a portemonnaie. Seeing no policeman I thought I would drive them to Vine-street, and while doing so one of them asked me where I was going. I replied the nearest way to Charing-cross as the road is up. On getting to Vine-street they jumped out, and they made off, but I pur sued them with the cry of " Stop thief," and succeeded in capturing the prisoner, and gave him over to the sergeant. I also picked up the portemonnaie thrown away by the prisoner. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street,",who appeared for the prisoner, asked whether the witness said all this at the stet ion.' Cabman—Yes. The sergeant heard me say it. Mr. Beard—When you were asked where you were going you did not tell the truth then? Cabman—What does that matter. (Laughter.) I did not tell them I was going to Vine-street. (Laughter.) I should think not. Sergeant Silverton, 16 C, said—l was at the next house to the station when I heard a cry of " Stop thief," and the cab drive up. I received the prisoner in custody from the cabman, and found on him two blank cheques on Scott's Bank, Cavendish-square, a pair of silver spectacles, some gold, &c., and a card on which was the name and address, Wm. Taylor, Esq., 17 :Park-street, Grosvenor-square. Mr. Beard—The prisoner has given his correct address, will;you take substantial bail. My. Beadon—lt is not a case for bail, and I shall remand the prisoner till to-morrow week. Mr. Beadon (to the cabman)—Your conduct meets my highest approbation. THAMES. A DANGEROUS CHARACTER.—DanieI Lyons, dressed in the garb of a seaman, was charged with violent conduct by throwing a female down on the pavement, and also with assaulting police-constable K, No. 382. The officer stated that about a quarter past 11 o'clock last night he saw the prisoner knock a female down in the street. She got up and went away. He (the constable) went up to him and said that he ought to lock him up, and advised him to go home. Shortly afterwards he commenced abusing a man, his wife, and their child. He went up to him and again advised him to go away, if not, he should take him into custody. The prisoner then commenced abusing him, and said that he would knock his b— life out. Witness seized him, when he struck him in the face and bit his lip. With the assistance of a brother constable he was taken to the station-house. The prisoner said that the police-officer called him a young thief, threw him down, then kicked him and cut his head. This was denied by several witnesses who saw the occur rence, and the magistrate sentenced him to pay a fine or be imprisoned for seven days with hard labour. 21118 DAY'S SILIPFING.

BOWICIII, Burrtt, and Freeman, the extensive contractors, have commenced lay ing down an iron tramway on the west side of Blackfriars road, which will be extended to the Elephant and Castle, Newington-butts, via the London-road. The novelty of the principle is, that instead of the tramway consisting of smooth iron platea, these are in blocks of cast-iron, being 18 inches square and four in thickness, the surface being chequered with small oblong blocks protruding, so as to give horses good footing when passing over the metal way, but not causing the slightest obstruction to the wheels of vehicles travelling upon it. The blocks are laid upon a firm stratum of compost, and will be on a level with the other portions of the road. A Turin letter states that rain is much wanted in that part of Italy, and that prayers for it are said daily in the churches. There has been, it appears, not a angle shower now for nea r ly th ree months., METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI. There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, in fair condition, and sales progressed steadily, at full quotations. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from inland, were tolerably good as to number, but somewhat deficient in quality. The primest breeds commanded a steady sale, at full prices. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances the currencies had a drooping tendency. ' From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 3,000 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds; from Scotland, 16 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was moderately good. Prime stock was scarce and in fair request, at full quotations—the best Downs and half-breds having sold at 5s 4d per 81bs, but other breeds moved off slowly, at late rates. The lamb season is now over. The few lambs in the market were taken off slowly, at from 5s 4d to 5s 8d per 81bs. We were well supplied with calves, in which a fair amount of business was transacted, at full prices, viz., from 3s 6d to 4s Sd per Blbs. There was an increased demand for pigs, and prices were the turn higher. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The trade for them is in a sluggish state, and prices range from £8 to £l3 13s per cwt. Yearling and old hops are much neglected. In their value, however, no material change has taken place.

North Britain Ireland East Coast South England 'MIS 4 STROUS TERMINATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN EXPLORING EXPEDITION. (From tie Melbourne Herald of July 25.) Sad news ha been received about the exploring expedition. Mr. Brahe, one of the party, arrived in town on the 29th of last month, and reported that Mr. Burke, the leader of the expedition, left Cooper's Creek on the 16th December, to start for the Gulf of Carpentaria, and that nothing had been ' heard of him since. He was accompanied by Messrs. Wills, King, and Gray, and six camels and one horse, and left the remainder of his party under the charge of Mr. Brahe, at Cooper's Creek. The party remaining at the depot were—Messrs. Brahe (in charge), Patton, M'Donogh, Dost Ma hemmed, and camels and 12 horses. Mr. Wright, the officer in chai ge of the contingent party left at the Darling, moved onwards towards Cooper's Creek. It being summer, nearly all the watercourses had been dried up, and the ravages of scurvy re duced the effective strength of the party to an alarming extent. Unable to proceed from these causes, he established a camp and stockade at Bulla, where the natives became hostile, and repeatedly attacked them. Mr. Ludwig Becker, the naturalist and artist, and a gentleman of great scientific ac quirements, and Messrs. Chas. Stone, W. Purcell, and Patton died, at various intervals during the journey. Three of the horses perished from exhaus tion, two of the camels from scab, and another was lost. In Mr. Wright's report the following affect ing description of the circumstances attending the untimely end of some ,of these unfortunate men - is given : "On the 18th of April, after mature consideration, I sent Mr. Hodgkinson, accompanied by Belooch with six of the camels, back to Menindie, for the purpose of escorting Mr. Becker and Purcell thither, and returning with as many stores as their camels could bear. I also commissioned Mr. Hodgkinson to engage two men upon the Darling to assist him in hisretFn and replace those leaving the party. At this time the natives, though very numerous, were peaceably disposed, and did not molest either the camp at Koorliatto or that atßulla. I instructed Dr. Beckler to join the m a i n cam p a f ter comm itti ng his patients to Mr. Hodgkinson's charge, but upon the following day the latter gentleman returned with a note from Dr. Beckler stating that the at tempt to reconvey Mr. Becker and Purcell to Me nindie would be fatal to them. Under these cir cumstances, I had no option but to countermand Mr. Hodgkinson's instructions, and as the natives had made a hostile demonstration the very day fol lowing his departure, I thought it advisable to erect a stockade, and not weaken the party by send ing any to Menindie. Dr. Beekler, Mr. Becker, and Purcell then came to Bulla, and upon the 22d of April we were attacked again by the natives. As Stone was evidently dying I did not fire upon them, and suffered them to pilfer several articles lying outside the stockade. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, shortly after they retired, Stone died. The following day Purcell died, and the natives again appeared, making the most insulting demon strations and invitations to fight them. "On the morning of the 24th April, after bury ing Purcell, I started with Smith to look for our horses, which had strayed, but I had not proceeded a couple of miles ere signal fires sprang up in every direction, and I thought it best to return to camp, as the natives were evidently prepared to take ad vantage of my absence. " On the 27th the natives once more advanced from a camp which they had established near ours, not as on former occasions seeking the protection of cover, but marching boldly across the plain in front of our camp, and quickening their pace as they neared us into a run. They were, as well as we could count them, some fifty in number, well armed, powerful men, and as they would not stop, though repeatedly required to do so, I gave orders to fire, and succeeded in repulsing them without further trouble. Mr. Becker during the affray lay in a tent pitched close to the stockade, but was perfectly unconscious. With two of tne party of eight dead, and a third dying, further advance or a longer stay at Bulla amid unfriendly natives were alike imprac ticable ; and had our cattle been molested by the natives our fate would have been sealed. Dr. Beckler and Mr. Hodgkinson, with myself, were the only healthy members of the party, and I decided upon an immediate:retreat to Taru- Wattu, at which place I hoped to recruit the sick and to obtain fresh stores from the Darling. On the 28th of April, there fore, I packed up, proposing to start next morning, but during the night a bell was heard, and at day light a mob of horses, recognised as forming part of Mr. Burke's equipment, were seen feeding near the stockade. Shortly after Mr. Brahe came up, and we were gratified to find that he wasin charge of a party, consisting of Patton, MacDonough, and Botan, with twelve horses and six camels (very much in fected with scab), on their return to the Darling from the depot established by Mr. Burke at Cooper's Creek. MacDonough, Patton, and Botan were suffering from scurvy on their arrival atßulla, and, with the exception of Botan, became quite unfit for the slightest exertion or movement. Being strength ened by this accession to the party in the eyes of the natives, they made no further attempt to molest us, and 1 remained at Bulla until Ist May, when I commenced my return to Taru-Wattu. Upon reaching the next camp, Koorliatto, I resolved to give the sick a further spell, while I advanced with Mr. Brahe to the depot at Cooper's Creek, for the purpose of ascertaining whether Mr. Burke had returned, or the provisions left there by Mr. Brahe had been discovered by the natives. I found no signs of Mr. Burke's return, or of the cache of stores being disturbed, and returned to Koorliatto on the 12th of May, finding the men at the depot there all safe, but very little improved in health. As will be seen by the diary, the journey from Koorliatto to Menindie was tedious in the extreme, from the difficulty of moving men so extremely NN, eak as were our sick. Patton died five miles south of that point, on the 30th of May, and the whole party were saved by a providential fall of rain about this period, as no other water than sur face water was found from Purria Creek to Wanna winta, a distance of up wards of 150 miles, Kama pundi, Duruoto, and Purlprummatte Creeks being ary." At a meeting of the Exploration Committee, which was held on Sunday, day following that on which the foregoing intelligence was received, Mr. Brahe gave the following particulars of his stay and de parture from Cooper's Creek : He stated that Mr. Burke instructed him to remain at the depot for three months, or longer, if the provisions would allow him. He remained at the depot after Mr. Burke left for a period of eighteen weeks, and was compelled to leave then on account of one of the men dying. He left a quantity of provisions for Mr. Burke—as much as he could well spare, as he ex pected he would require provisions for six or seven weeks to make the Darling. He knew he had a bad piece of country to traverse to the Darling, and calculated the journey at seven weeks. He left Cooper's Creek on the 21st April; that was about eighteen weeks after Mr. Burke left. He buried in the ground at Cooper's Creek 501bs. of flour, 501bs. of oatmeal, 501bs. of sugar, and 501bs. of rice. He started from Cooper's Creek to return with twelve horses and six camels. Four of the camels were in excellent condition when he left, but the other two were very bad with scab. Those two had never recovered from the time they left Menindie, and a , few weeks after meeting Mr. Wright's party on the way back they both died. The horses were in fair condition, but suffered from want of water, as they found none between camp No. 60, at Cooper's Creek, and Lake Bull a. He left Cooper's Creek at camp No. 60. He followed Mr. Burke's route for two days along the creek, but could find no water. He (Mr. Brahe) had with him 1501bs. of flour, a bag and a half sugar, a bag of rice, and 41bs. of tea. That was the quantity of provisions he had for himself and three men. Dr. Beckler died on the way back, after Mr. Wright's party left them. He left the creek on the 21st April, and one night he camped within two miles of Mr. Wright's party. He did not return from Cooper's Creek by the same route as he went. When Mr. Burke left he accom panied him about as far as his second camping place, and then returned to the depot, and on the follow. ing day erected a sort of stockade for defence against any attack by the natives. The stockade was finished on the 24th December. It was about that time the blacks made their appearance, and they had to watch them day and night. Before leaving Cooper's Creek they had two days' pretty heavy rain. They had had several slight showers. The cold n i g h ts began in April. When Mr. Burke left he said he should be back in three months' time at least. He expected to be able to reach the Gulf of Carpentaria and return in less than three months. He did not say he expected to meet a ship at the Gulf of Car pentaria. Mr. Burke was quite positive about com ing back to Cooper's Creek. He said he would run no risk whatever. He said he would make a push for the gulf from Eyre's Creek. He said he might be back in a month. He heard of Mr. Stuart's re turn to Adelaide before leaving Menindie. He (Mr. Brahe) thought Mr. Burke came to know about \lr. Stuart's return by a South Australian paper. ' From camp 65 111 r. Burke followed Cooper's Creek for two days, and said that he was making for 1 Eyre's Creek. Mr. Burke determined to go to Eyre's Creek. The party were in excellent : spirits and good health when they left. There was no difficulty in reaching Cooper's Creek. Mr. Burka expected Mr. Wright up to the creek about the time he left, and gave instructions that his despatch should be forwarded to Melbourne by his party. He said that if Mr. Wright came up in two days, he (Mr. Brahe) and party were to foll ow, but it would be no use their coming after o that. eep They were to follow his track. They were R the creek for two dap. His opinion with respect to Mr. Burke was, that he had gone to Eyre's Crcek, and from thence towards the Gulf. That he had gone on expecting to find water, but had found the holes dry. That in this way he had gone too far, thinking to find water ahead, and was unable to return, from want of water. He believed Mr. Burke and his party were stuck fast. He was also afraid that the party were attacked with scurvy ; but there were no sy m pt oms o f it w hen they left. Mr. Burke seemed to be in good health when he left. He did n o t k now i f Mr. Burke had anyt hi ng wi th him to prevent scurvy. It is ne e dl ess to say that the Exploration Com mittee, upon hearing th e a b ove part i cu l ars , render ing the condition of the ex pl or i ng expe diti on one of extreme peril, took st e p s a t once to a ff or d re li e f. Prior to receiving this intelligence, Mr. Howitt had been despatched with a p ar t y to C ooper ' s C ree k , but becoming acquainted with the state of matters he returned to town, and his party was re-equipped and strengthened. Another party, under the com mand of Mr. Walker, is to start from llockhamn ton, to make for the Albert River, and a s ea p ar ty has also been organised , the chief secretary having consented to place a sum of £2,000 on the estimates for that purpose. BRIGHTON FRBAKS,PLEASURES,A,y,9 IMPROPRIETIES. (From the Observer.) Brighton is considered, and very properly so, the first watering-place in England. No town of its character approaches it in any way in respect or extent of the number of its splendid residences, and of the opulent class who habitually frequent this fashionable and delightful city. The residential in habitants of Brighton look down with an eye of scorn upon such places as Margate, Ramsgate, Herne Bay, and Southend. Dover, they allow, may perhaps be passable ; Folkestone they consi der a dull place, and Hastings they set down as the locality for religions misanthropists and incurables. Brighton can constantly boast of high-sounding names, from dukes downwards. The mercantile magnates of the metropolis swear by it, and glory in spending their thousands in the town. The air is pronounced superlative, the drainage tolerably good, and the water supply abundant, if not of the purest quality. It might therefore have been anti cipated that with all these advantages Brighton, as respects the conduct of its frequenters, would he far above such plebian places as Margate and Rams gate—that is, according to Brighton formula ; and the quEstion then 'arises, are the frequenters of Brighton more moral, more modest, or more decent than in the places above referred to ? It is to be feared that not only is there very little difference between any of these places, but, if comparisons are drawn, that the balance would be rather against this most fortunate town. The freaks of Margate and Ramsgate have been described over and over again. At Brighton they are to be seen in the same manner. There are just as many in proportion, if Lot more, men who call themselves gentlemen, but who would be horrified at being designated " gents," here, as in the more plebian watering-places; the only difference being that they have more money to spend, and therefore carry their follies to a greater extent. These persons conduct themselves in the morning, on the sands, as they would do at any less distinguished watering-place, while at night they are worse, although not quite so uproarious or so drunken. Turning from these to the " fair sex"—ladies who pride themselves on their position in society and, on their decorum when at home—one and all seem animated by the same spirit. Pork-pie hats and crinoline prevail at Brighton as elsewhere : the only difference being that the ladies dress more and oftener. By ten o'clock in the morning the beach. and esplanade are crowded with young ladies, " dressed to the eyes," with nether garments of so capacious a character that, when the wind blows —as it will blow frequently at Brighton—no ono is surprised if young gentlemen—aye, and old ones too—look after them. Then as to bathing at Bi igh ton, it is generally and particularly as bad as in any place known, The whole beach is open to men until seven o'clock in the morning, and this thectly fronting the best houses in Brighton ; and no decent woman of any rank can show her face until after this fatal hour is past, and the finest and purest time of day being thus lost to them, for no reason in the world except that the authorities will not exert themselves to put down the nuisance, by issuing directions that no one should be allowed to bathe from the beach on any part of Brighton east. of Palmyra-square. The authorities, no doubt, at tempt to shield themselves from blame by stating that the young ladies and gentlemen do not object, but on the contrary, seem to prefer indiscriminate bathing, inasmuch as the most crowded part of the beach in the morning‘ is close to the bathing ma chines opposite the Bedford Hotel, where the band plays. The ladies' and gentlemen's machines are in close proximity—in fact, they almost adjoin one another—and yet these machines are more highly sought after than any other. They say ladies cannot object to see gentlemen in such a position, or they would not patronise those machines which adjoin them; and they urge, if young ladies will so far forget what is due to themselves., it is not surprising that young gentlemen who are not supposed to be brought up with staider morals should forget what is due to the female sex. But the worst part of the business is, these bathers pro fess to move in the higher circles of society, and consist of young ladies wh o are never " b rought out," as the terms goes, until they are 16 or 17 years of age, in order that their young minds may not be contaminated. Nevertheless, their own mothers will countenance them in these absurdities, extravagancies, and indecorums, which have made Brighton the opprobrium of good taste. It is, however, but fair to state that on one part of the beach, beyond Brunswick-square, there are bathing machines set exclusively apart for ladies, and that these are always crowded by those who have some thing like respect for themselves. How it is that husbands and fathers do not interfere is a matter of astonishment. It is presumed that by constant use they have become so habituated to these prac tices that they look upon them as a matter of course. But, even viewing it in this charitable light, we cannot understand why they should allow their wives and daughters to be spectators of such a scene as was witnessed the other day—a scene which is of common occurrence, viz., that of a man in the garb of a gentleman who took a boat, went some 20 yards off in front of the ladies' machines, delibe rately undressed himself, had his bath in the open sea, and then put on his clothes in view of hundreds of young ladies. The corporation of Brighton may do much, but the visitors may do more if they will, o bring about something like propriety. THE OLD SYSTEM OF NEAPOLITAN EsPIONAGE. " Little more than a fortnight since," says the Naples correspondent of La Prosse, " Signor To fano presided over the deliberations of the first criminal tribunal of the southern provinces, and it is now avowed that from 1850 to 1859 he was the secret agent of the police of Ferdinand 11. There appears to be almost something providential in the chance by which the letters of Signor Tofano were discovered ; for during the Government of M. Nigra the archives of the kingdom were searched, and nothing was found except the famous letter of Liborio Romano. One of the most distinguished men of Naples having been charged by Baron Ricasoli to write the history of the latter Bourbons, was, of course, allowed to search all the archives of the kingdom, and whilst doing so laid his hand on a dusty packet which was throw-n in a corner with several others. The outside of this packet contained these figures 1 850--1858.' He opened the packet, and to his astonishment found that they were letters written by Tofano to the King, classified according to their dates and marked by a letter in red ink, which probably corresponded with some register of the King. This individual immediately went to General Cialdini to inform him of the discovery he had made. Count Bor o meo has sent for the packet of letters, copies of which were taken and sent to Turin. As always hap pens in like cases, Signor Tofano ended. his letters with a remark on the necessity of destroying them. Ferdinand 11., however, was too adroit for that. I am assured that all the acts of the Neapoli tan emigrants are reviewed in these letters with the most surprising diligence. Tofano did not even spare his most intimate friends. As I am informed, he denounce'i all in the most pitiless manner. At the time of the last Mazzinian affray at Genoa, Signor Tofano thought it would be his interest to take up the defence of the accused Re publicans. Fearing, however, lest his patron at Naples might he shocked at seeing him thus figur ing amongst the defenders of such people. and might stop remittances, he wrote to the K explain, That in order to stand the better M azzinians, and to inspire them with greater con fidence in the future, he had offered tf, defend the the accomplices of Pisacane.' Of coursesvesviTh the King to unfortu nate men whom Tofano defended e sent to the galleys. I am told Tofaro affirms that he can justify his conduct, and that sending him false new s . his object was to lead Ferdinand into error by and The Minister of Justice at the report will be r at Turin has ordered an in quiry into the matte before the next mee tirs, gof Parliament." ready I - THE NEXT LORD MAYOR.—It has 13 , 2 en stated that a requisition was in course of signature to the present Lord mayor, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, to stand for the office for the second year.
