STATE OF ITALY. The correspondent of the Tinzes, in a letter dated ,rin, Oct. 28, says :—Father Pansaglia arrived in grin last Saturday. I saw him this morning. lie is a striking, highly interesting-looking per & nage. He is a tall man, considerably above six fe it high, with great breadth of shoulders and flat chest; a spare , erect, imposing figure, with an easy, dignified, refined bearing ; the most gen tl tmanly priest I ever beheld. His forehead is high, not massive, and rather slanting backwards; ti e brow is sharp and prominent. He has a rich, g:ossy heed of hair, slightly silvered all over; he u. Ay be 50 years old, certainly not more, and he eL mplains that deep study and care have oldened h'm before his time. He has regular, deeply eliselled features, with a remarkably wide, proud, fi .m, but by no means heavy under jaw. The eyes e deeply set, light brown, vivid, wakeful. The untenance is gifted with great mobility and sud s) If powers of expression. He is thin and pale, with deep farrows on the forehead and round the mouth. he habitual look is grave and thoughtful ; but the lice lightens up with occasional glimpses of great s'lrewdnees and humour. He is a Florentine, 1 believe, or, at any rate , a Tuscan. His 1 Lnguage is pure, precise, flowing, elegant, and his native accent has been softened end founded without effeminacy by long re sidence in Rome. Altogetber, I felt I stood in intelligence. the presence of a high The Father is a hove all things a thinker ; not much of an enthu t last, I should fancy, and the very reverse of a fanatic. There is a slight touch of the Jesuit in the tone of his voice, in his thorough courtesy, and bland, well-bred manners ; but there is also a strength of character by which the man of the world -visibly effaces and makes us forget the priest. He professes great earnestness of purpose, nevertheless ; professes to have a heart for his country, while his whole soal is engrossed with the real interests of the Church. He wishes the Papacy to be truly Catholic ; hence he wishes it to abjure all that made it essen tially Italian. The Pope's character as a Roman prince has wedded him to a narrow-minded local policy, estrangel him from his world-wide mission, and limited the sphere of his humanitarian in fluence. Passaglia has no faith in Cardinals D'An drea or Marini, in none of the Italian members of the Sacred College. The only Prelate who shared his own views, and would have acted in concert - with him, is now dead; it was Cardinal Santucci. Ilut he has allies in some of the Transalpine Cardi nals ; he named three of them—the Primate of Hun gary, he of Lisbon, I forget the. third. Many of the clergy of the second runk, even in Rome, are of one mind with him. They are now daily speaking nut, and will be sent out one by one to join him in his exile. Few days will elapse ere a nucleus of these liberal-minded ecclesiastics will be assembled in Turin. Many of the distinguished laymen whose attachment to the Roman Catholic Church no one can dispute—foremost among them the excellent Marquis of Cavour, the late Count's elder brother —will rally around them. The King's Govern ment will find it their interest to encourage their efforts. The . moment is supreme; it could not be more opportune. It is now very clearly stated that " the Emperor of the French, for weighty and mighty motives of his own, in the interest of the Italian cause itself, will not allow that terrible ques tion of Rome to be touched upon." I thank my stars I never gave in to the almost universal delu sion about the Emperor's good intentions on that subject. Napoleon's weighty reasons for not with drawing his troops from Rome are, and always were, purely personal. Rome was an instrument in his hands for thwarting the efforts of the Italians to wards their unity, for opposing that unity for ever, or at least adjourning it till the Italians have either aecepted his conditions or made themselves subser vient to sore of his hidden views. In the teeth of statesmen, newsmen, diplomatists, and reasoners of every description who had different expectations, who named the close of last February, of last March, of every month of the calendar, as the epoch deter mined upon for the removal of the Roman gar rison, and who looked upon me as a maniac for my incredulity, I adhered to my own faith, and it is now only a meagre consolation to be told that I was right all along, The Italians cannot talk and write themselves into Rome; they cannot fight themselves into it; we must now see whether they can baffle the Em peror and rout the Pope, notwithstanding. Father I'assaglia is in himself a host. Though he talks of weariness and disgust; though he even reveals some intentions of withdrawing from the contest, and " looking for some obscure corner where he can pore over his books and say a quiet mass ;" though he has some vague designs of crossing the Alps, and earning his broad in Germany, were it only as a philosophical lecturer, turning to account those studies which have been his delight—still one may doubt whether he is the man to lay hand on the plough and look backward. He must know that the eyes of his country, and one may freely say of all Europe, are upon him; and all his outward man would belie him if he were to give up a game with such promising odds on his side. The ovations he received at Siena and Florence have chagrined and sickened him. He is no man for the clamour of a riotous multitude ; something wide apart from the Reformers of the Gavazzi and Pantaleo school. Though doubtless an eloquent man, he would rather trust his powers as a writer. He comes not to demolish, but to build. His appeal must be, not to the passions of the rabble, but to the understanding of thinking men, and especially to the conscience, and the true interests of his clerical brethren; The Papacy must fall, but the Church must stand ; nay, it must be more strongly united than it ever was ; the world must see that the only element of division and weakness in the Church was the Papacy—the institution of a Pope- King. The means for this momentous movement are at hand. Lorenzo Valerio, formerly one of the Parliamentary leaders of the Left, since 1859 Gover nor of the province of Como, for some time Royal Lieutenant in the Marches, and now again at the head of the province of Como, assures us that the diocess of Como, from the bishop to the meanest clerk, are stanchly and ardently attached to the Italian cause, and freely organised into hostility against the temporal power of the Roman Court. Symptoms of the same g ood disposition are rife in the diocess of Cremona, the bishop at the head of which was decided and outspoken from the begin ning. Throughout the whole of Lombardy the priests are orderly and reasonable, and those prelates who showed any to the country's cause, as well as th e V i cars who took the i r places, have been driven from their sees, more frequently by the atti tude of their Clergy than by the outcry a n d v i o l ence of the l ay Rock, No one has forgotten that in early times and throt ? li t ont the middl e ages th e arc hdi ocess of Mila n , or, a as called, th e di ocess o f It a l y , was not only inde pendent and at va r i ance w ith, hut often in a state of op eA of b . ostility to the See of Rome. A certain amount less than greater self-respect ual n a d eVi m en o a ra e l n i t ty s , p w ir a it s , n a o t Bishop s all times observable in Lonah l , dy, 1 especially a mong the parochial clergy. W ere the of Com o or Cremona, or the Chapters of Milan, t Brescia to call together their provincial erganlo, or sYnods 'i and eve ntually to meet in a regional synod , to register their protest against the continuance of the temporal sovereignty of the Pontiff, as opposed to th e nature and tendencies of Christianity, as chargeable with most, if not all, the disorders which ever afflicted or now afflict the Church, and fatal to, and incom patible with the interests of true religion for the future ; were, at the same time, the theological faculties of the several Itali an universities and divinity schools to come to the same conclusions — what. one may ask, would be the result ? Why, the example of one, two, three dioceses would soon prove contagious, and the Papacy w ould lose ground everywhere in Italy, till it would be hemmed in within the narrow limits of the territory in which French bayonets still uphold it. Against a perfect accord and unanimity among the clergy, such as we are told exists at Como and Cremona, it would not easy for the Pope to i nvo k e th e a id o f the 20 1 " (10,0 00 of Cath o li cs on w h om h e pre t en d s to re .Y.

The Pope might 1 try the efficacy of spiritual weapons, and the excom munication and interdict may still have som • power among the ignorant masses so long as the lower, and especially the parochial clergy, act up to their de crees. No doubt the Italian population, especially in the country, must have masses and : acraraents, and can neither be born, nor married, nor die with out the intervention of the Church. But if all ecclesiastical functions and ceremonies continue to be performed by the ministers of the altar, to whom they have always looked up as their sure and un erring guides, they are not likely to trouble their heads much about the distant and impotent wrath of a Pope, who has treasured upon his head the hatred of his disappointed countrymen, and who at no time hesitated to make common cause with the most ruthless foreign and domestic enemies, the oppressors and assassins of Italy. His alliance with the Bourbon and Chiavone has filled the measure of Italian contempt and detestation to Pius IX. and his Court. The priests will act as conductors to screen their flock from the conse quences of the Vatican thunders. Only the question may arise—ls it truly possible, is it easily practicable, to bring the mass of the Lom bard, or of any Italian, priesthood to act in this matter with anything which may look like harmony and unanimity ? The answer is—There are good priests in sufficient number in Italy to drag the bad ones after them. Whenever the clergy had to choose between the King and the Pope, whenever the test of a Te Deurn, of a solemn mass or a blessingof standards,compelled them to declare their own mind, the immense majority, whether with a good or ill grace, ended by performing their duties as citizens and patriots. Some of the bishops and other upper prelates, it is true, kicked against the pricks ; but not only had they to decamp before popular displeasure, but they were often strongly opposed and loudly disavowed by most of their priests, and even by those fat canons who cut so heavy a slice out of the temporalities of Mother Church ; and, be it observed, all this took place when the fate of Italy hung still on the scales, when opposition might still be of avail, and every man was almost entitled to say yea and nay, as his con science dictated; but now the new order of things is firmly established, the clergy have directly or in directly, silently or openly, acquiesced in and given sanction to it; they are committed and sworn to it, they cannot depart from it without open treason and rebellion, and they expose themselves to the vengeance of a Government whicb, even if it respect their persons, can always lay hand on their livings. Intimidation has gone and can go a great way with those priests who might still have a hankering after the old regime; and the well-applied influence of the Government, no less than the loud voice of the people, will determine many whom weakness of character or dread of unforeseen contingencies might hold in suspense. Father Passaglia, Baron Ricasoli's Government, and the patriotic party have it in their power to put the screw on the Pope, in spite of French protection, and the Emperor Napo leon is less likely to obtain fair terms for Pius IX., by the continuance of his garrison at Rome, than if he left the Pope and his cardinals completely at the discretion of the Italians. It is thought now, not without good reason, that the Emperor relies - on the co-operation of Italy in the furtherance of vast hidden designs which he is slowly maturing in his mind. He is certainly not pursuing the best policy to engage the Italians in his service. Already to those who throw in these people's teeth the charge of ingratitude, answer is made that the Emperor's good deeds to Italy ended at Villafranca, and that ever since that peace Napo leon 111. has done, or attempted and endeavoured to do them infinitely more harm than good; that, independent even of their will, he has deprived and is even now depriving them of the power of giving him efficient aid ; that while, by upholding Pius IX., Francis IL, and Chiavone, he divides their forces and drains their means and resources, it is idle on his part to expect that they may be able to muster up 300,000 combatants, to be ready in the spring to attack the Po and Mineio, when he thinks the time ripe for his long-meditated onset on the Rhine. Left to themselves since July, 1859, the Italians have fought their way, they have marched to their goal with a success which perhaps entered not in the Emperor's calculation. They will now bring to bear on the emancipation of their national church and their abjuration of the Papacy that real concord and wisdom which enabled them to achieve their annexation; and when they have, no thanks to France, morally rid themselves of the Pope, as they have materially freed themselves from the Lorraine and Bourbon Princes, they will choose their allies with a view to their own interests, not in obedience to feelings of gratitude which the benefactor himself has done his utmost to nip in the bud. LICENSES TO MAKE AND SELL FIRE WORKS. Yesterday a numerous Bench of Magistrates held a special session at the Court-house, Newington, for the purpose of hearing applications for licenses to make and to sell fireworks. T. Tilson, Esq., pre sided, and the following cases were disposed of : Sr. GEORGE.—There were three applications in respect of premises in this parish, viz., those of Susanna Drewell, 6, Hatfield-place, Westminster road ; Henry Austin Gibson, 3. Lees-place, West minster-road ; and Joseph Wells, 17, Pitt-street, St. George's-road. All the applications were for leave to sell only, and not to manufacture, and the first applicant asked to be allowed to keep as much as 1001bs. of explosive material upon the premises, whilst in the two other cases the quantity was only 301bs. Mr. Day, the vestry-clerk of the parish, attended, and said that the parochial authorities would rather that no license of the kind were granted at all, but as no doubt such licenses would be granted under the new law, they must content themselves with expressing a hope that the Bench would place the limit as to quantity as low as possible, so as not u nnecessarily to endanger life and property Several neighbours appeared to oppose, stating that if licenses were granted it would cause great alarm in the neighbourhood, there having been in time past several severe explosions, especially the fatal one when Madame Coton's premises were blown up. Property also would be deteriorated, for tenants would leave as soon as the licenses were granted, and should a fire occur in consequence of an explosion the fire offices stipulated that they would not be responsible. Even if the greatest care were used by sellers, still there would be much dan ger from the carelessness of purclfasers, for persons had been seen to purchase large quantities of fire works, put them into a vehicle, take their seats over them, light a pipe or a cigar, and drive away. (Laughter.) The chairman said that hitherto it had been ille gal for any one to sell fireworks, but that being a harsh law had not been enforced, Now, no doubt, it would be very different. One of the neighbours complained that large quantities of powder had been kept on the spot, and stated that when the explosion took place at Madame Coton's there were four barrels of powder next door but one. The Rev. Mr. Howell, the incumbent of the parish, without altogether opposing the applica tions, entreated the magistrates to limit as much as possible the quantity of the explosive material to be kept ; for, in addition to the ordinary elements of danger, there was a school close by Mrs. Drewell's premises, and he believed that if she were allowed to keep more than 101bs. of explosive matter there would be very great danger. He must add that to his knowledge Mrs. Drewell was a very respectable person, and he had no doubt that she would strictly adhere to the terms of her licence. Mr. Lilley supported the application of Mrs. o Drewell, who, with her late husband, had carried thehner immediate firework neighbours business for 3B years her ; and applica tion 2 4 e other applicants by signing her in e it appeared that they '!he . supporte dmorial. ha a a d b d o r t e h ss b e e d en th in e t ß he en b e u b s , in a e n s d s I all their li ves. a l i censeT he Ch t a o i r k m e e a p n , 2 oi after bs. o s o f m x discussion, sa id th a t a plt osve o lit .r terial would be granted to M rs .

(Before the Assistant-Judge.) John Beale surrendered in court to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with stealing a watch, chain, cameo brooch, and other articles, the property of George Mitten. Mr. Tindal Atkinson prosecuted; Mr. Ribton defended. The evidence was this:---The wife of the prosecu tor said she lived at 50, Clifton• street, Finsbury, and her husband was a commercial traveller. One afternoon in August she was returning home with a Mrs. Sharpe, and went into the Mitre Tavern, Broadwall, where they saw the prisoner and seven or eight other persons. I said (she deposed) to the prisoner, " Yon are Mr. Early who came with my brother to my house three years ago." He did not deny the name, and I got into conversation with him, and at last invited him to come to my hus• band's house any time he might be passing, and told him my address. On the 19th of August he called, and said he had a friend below. I said, " Why don't you bring him with you ?" and sent my ser vant to fetch him, who accordingly brought in a man who gave the name of Hunt, but I have since ascertained his name to be Ellis. I had seen him at the public-house with the prisoner on the day previous. I asked them into the drawing-room, where they remained ten minutes. I then asked them into the kitchen, where they had some bread and cheese and ale, and remained in conversation until one o'clock. I then said my husband will be in soon ; will you mind going upstairs and stopping till he is gone from dinner. Previous to that, about a quarter of an hour after they came, I said to them, " If my husband comes here, say you've come to take apartments." I showed them upstairs, and went into the second floor back-room. I had shown them my plate and jewellery in my bedroom while talking of family matters, also two or three watches, one of which is gone. That was in a drawer. I said, "It does not look as if I was coming to the dogs." I then took them down to have some lunch, and sent them up there again while my husband was at dinner. They were there three-quarters of an hour. In the room there was a silver topped smelling•bottle and a cameo brooch. I saw a purse on the dresser in the kitchen. When my husband left they came down again. He came back again and found them there. They were then at dinner. One of them said, "We have come about the apartments, and will come on Wednesday and take them." They then left, and afterwards, about five, I missed the purse, and no one had been there but myself and servant. There was nothing in the purse ; it was a gilt one. On the following Wednes day, the 21st, I missed a silver watch, marked " T. M.," a ladies' gold chain, a cameo brooch, and the silver-topped smelling-bottle, which were in my bedroom where I showed the prisoner. They were of the value of £l4. She said she paid for the ale at the Mitre, and was sober. The prisoner was not in her bedroom with her an hour and a half, not more than ten minutes, and she was then showing them her jewellery. She told her husband they paid 2s. for their dinner, but that was a lie. She said so through fear of his being angry. They did not come to hire apartments. They had both ale and gin in the kitchen, witness partaking. They parted friendly. On the Wednesday they were to come and escort her and Mrs. Sharpe to the Crystal Palace. She was sober at the time. She did not see the watch on the Tuesday, and the drawer was un- locked from Monday till'Wednesday. Short, police constable 77 C, took the prisoner in charge in Waterloo•road, and told him what he was accused of. He said, " Well, if you will take me to Ellis's we'll see if we can square it." Witness told him he could not do so, but he went himself to Ellis, but could not find him. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it, and that it was a bad busi ness he ever saw her at all. Jane Goodwin, servant to the prosecutrix, de posed that, on the 19th of August the prisoner and another man came to their house. The mistress took them into several rooms. There was an empty purse lying on the kitchen dresser. Half an hour after they were gone it was missed. No other person had been in the kitchen. When the master came home they went up stairs. They re mained there the first time, the second he caught them in the kitchen. The value of the purse was 4s. While the other man was in the drawing-room with the mistress she saw the prisoner come out of her bedroom. They were in and out of the rooms, mostly in the drawing-room. She fetched a pot of ale and a quartern of gin while they were there, and she herself had half a glass. The defence was that, under the circumstances, there could not be the least ground for imputing a felony to the prisoner—that the charge had utterly failea. The prisoner declared his innocence of the charge. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. POLICE INIELLIGENCE, Oct. 30. GUILDHALL.—EX TRA OR DINA ltY CITA RGE. ^ On Saturday last, a matter 000urred at this enurt, our report of which, for obvious reasons, wo re served, in which Mr. John Tallis, the well-known publisher and newspaper proprietor, who was placid in the felons' dock, was charged with steal ing a cash box, containing £4O, the alleged pro perty of Mr. Joseph Bruton, a licensed victualler, of Clerkenwell. s The circumstances of the case were so peculiar, and so very important, affecting as they did the reputation of highly respectable parties, that we give the report of both days' proceedings in extenso. Mr. Harrison attended for Mr. Tanis at the first hearing on Saturday last, when Mr. Bruton was examined, and said he had known Mr. Tanis about five years. Mr. Tallis had just passed through the Bankruptcy Court, and re ceived his certificate on Thursday last. He had nothing to do with witness's business, at 12, Crane court, Fleet-street, which was that of a printer. Witness charged him with going to his counting house that morning, and taking away his cash-box by force, having previously turned witness's clerks out of the office. The keys of the safe were gone, as well as the cash-box. He did not know why Mr. Tallis came there. He had forbid him the premises, althoughhe had until a few days ago been in the habit of visiting the office daily. Mr. Tallis had no busi ness there, and had no specific employment. He had disputed poisession of the business, but it be longed to witness, as well as the premises, and every pennyworth of property in them. He (wit ness) held the lease for 40 years of the premises at £25 a year. He did not know that Mr. Tallis claimed the property. Witness was a printer, and the business was his, and carried on in his name. He sent £4O to the office that morning to pay the wages with, and afterwards received information from his clerks (who were not then in court) that Mr. Tallis had taken the money. He did not know where the cash-box and money was. Cross-examined—His name was not on the pre mises. The name of the " London and Provincial Newspaper Company" was up, but there was no longer any such company in existence. He (wit ness) was "a publican, carrying on business in Exmouth-street,Clerkenwell, and in other parts of London, but not a printer. He knew defendant had been the proprietor of the illustrated News of the World, and that he had subsequently carried on the business of a printer at 12, Crane-court, Fleet street, where he printed for the London and Pro vincial Newspaper Company. His creditors, however, took possession of all his property and would not allow him to continue the printing for that company, that is, they would not carry on the business. After assigning everything to his credi tors he he did not apply to witness for advances to buy type and materials for the business. Witness bought the type, paid for it by a cheque for £5O, which he gave to Mr. Tallis to pay away, and the rest was paid in bills. Mr. Appleby, a relative of Mr. Tallis, acted throughout in making the neces sary purchases for re-establishing the business. He (witness) had never advanced more than £1 or £2 to Mr. Tallis, and then only to meet his personal expenditure. Mr. Tallis had often deposited pro perty with him to be taken care of, but never as security for money advanced. The business was at 10, Crane-court, when witness took to it, but he had since taken No. 12 as well. One of his clerks was his own nephew, and the other the nephew of Mr. Tallis. He would swear the cash-box was his pro perty and not Mr. Tallis's. Mr. Tallis had access to the safe, as he had never forbidden him being there until within the last few days. There was another safe on the premises, but he did not know if the cash-box or money were in it, because Mr. Tallis had locked it and taken away the key. Mr. Tallis was not in any way connected with or inte rested in the business, nor had he been engaged in it since his bankruptcy, in April last. This being the evidence Mr. Bruton was prepared with, Mr. Harrison said the fact was, Mr. Bruton was a creditor of Mr. Tallis, who claimed the whole of the business and property at 12, Crane court. Pending the granting of his certificate he business wished to re-commence business, and Mr. Bruton na th a e a Bruton 0 11 advancespr otection 0 f to t henable property him so to purchased, e s t e , a , s ebutd the was carried on in Mr. Bruton's name, and his own name, Mr , determined. assulne, havingthe management obtained his certificate, when Mr. Tallis wished to management and control in finding it a profitable business, the dispute which had° to part with it, and hence charge. It was a • given rise to the present question upon a dispute i and the magistrate th ere f ore had of right, la no J ) in addition to which, there was jurisdiction 0 evidence before the Court that a cash-box had been taken away, as Mr. Bruton had only been told so by some person who was not forthcoming to prove the fact. Aldermen Laver-nee dscisled upon rem ending the case till yesterday, taking Mr. Tatlis's recognisances in £5O to appear. Mr. Tullis accordingly attended yesterday before Alderman Lawrence. Mr, Hardinge Giffard, instructed by Mr. Henri son, appeared on behalf of Mr. Tallis. Mr. Child said ho attended for Mr. Brawn, who complained of the conduct of Mr. Tallis in this mat ter. Although the point upon which the magis trate would have to decide was a very short one, he alluded to the charge of klony, there were a va riety of circumstances in the case which would, he thought, throw difficulties in the magistrate's way, and prevent him doing full justice to both parties in the matter. It appeared that in the early part of the present year, Mr. Tallis made an assignment of all his property to his creditors, which ultimately ter minated in bankruptcy. Among the property so as signed was the "London and Provincial Newspaper Company," but the trustees of Mr. Tallis's estate deeming the property of no value, broke up the establishment. Mr. Tallis, however, had a better opinion of that branch of the business, and applied to his friend and companion, Mr. Bruton, to assist him in preserving the business, representing that £lOO would be sufficient for that purpose. Mr. Bruton was induced to advance that sum, for the purpose specified, and he was willing to admit that although the business was carried on in Mr.Bruton's name, he advanced the money for the preservation of the property for Mr. Tallis; and at that time fully intended that Mr. Tanis should have the busi ness, which was first carried on at Water-lane, in the Strand, and subsequently removed to the pre mises in Crane-court. Mr. Tallis's name appeared to some of the publications, but his bankruptcy be coming notorious, not from anything dishonourable on Mr. Tallis's part, it was found desirable to re move his name, as it was becoming detrimental to the publications. Mr. Tallis's name being with drawn, Mr. Bruton extended the business, and invested more capital to the amount of upwards of £l,OOO, which necessitated the addition of another house to the premises. This all occurred since March last, but there was so much delay with re gard to Mr. Tallis's certificate that Mr. Bruton at length deemed it advisable to take the control of the business into his own hand, in order to cover the amount of his advances. Mr. Tallis received his certificate about a fortnight ago, upon which he as sumed the entire management of the business, sta eels out Mr. Bruton's name from the invoices, discharged some of the men, and was acting in every way as the proprietor. This conduct resulted in a meeting of both parties, and several mutual friends, but as Mr. Tallis only said Mr. Bruton would be paid his money, without proposing any arrangement for that purpose, he declined to give up possession of the premises, and took time to consider what course he would take. On Saturday morning last he wrote to Mr. Tallis, who immediately went to the office and took possession of the cash-box, containing £4O of Mr. Bruton's eash, which Mr. Tanis could not have any claim upon, Mr. Bruton accordingly demanded his money, and Mr. Tallis ordered him off the premises, which he claimed as his, and all the pro . perty they contained. Mr. Tallis was remonstrated with, and finding he would not give up the money, Mr. Bruton called in an officer and gave Mr. Tallis into custody on the charge of felony, which was the only question for the magistrate now to deal with. Mr. Giffard said Mr. Child had in his own state ment put his client out of court, as he admitted that the business was Mr. Tallis's, and that Mr. Bruton only advanced the money to carry it on. It was a disputed question of right, which the magistrate had no power to try. Mr. Child said Mr. Tallis's conduct was not the proper mode of asserting a right, and appealed to the magistrate's sense of justice to assist him in re covering his client's money, at the same time ex pressing great willingness on the part of Mr. Bru ton to transfer the business and property to Mr. Tallis, on receiving a guarantee for the payment of the £l,OOO he had invested in the business. Mr. Giffard said that court was not a Court of Chancery to settle questions of right, and whatever Mr. Tallis's conduct had been, it was not the most conciliatory mode of effecting an amicable arrange ment to commence proceedings by locking him up on a charge of felony. He was there to protect Mr. Tallis from the imputation arising from a criminal charge, and until that matter was disposed of he could not think of going into the question of right. Mr. Martin, the chief clerk, reminded Mr. Child that the gravamen of a charge of felony was the in tent. At present there was no evidence of a felo nious intent. Mr. Child said he did not wish to go on with the charge, and he therefore repeated his former offer, including, as a condition, that Mr. Tallis should give up the keys of the safes, the cash box, and the £4O. Mr. Giffard said the magistrate could not be made a party to any such arrangement. Alderman Lawrence said he did not see in what way he could deal with the case. He had allowed it to go thus far to ascertain in what manner such a serious charge arose; but there was not the slightest evidence produced to show that Mr. Tallis had any felonious intent in taking the money. He might have acted erroneously and imprudently, but he could not deal with the case as a felony merely be cause Mr. Tallis had acted foolishly. He would, however, recommend Mr. Bruton and Mr. Tallis to place themselves in the hands of their legal ad visers, and he had no doubt a satisfactory arrange ment might be effected. Mr. Giffard said he thought so too, but not if the negotiations were to commence with a charge of felony. The charge was then dismissed. MARYLEBONE.—THE LATE ATROCIOUS AT TEMPT TO MURDER A LADY IN PADDINGTON AND ROBBERY OF PLATE, &c.—Shortly after the open ing of the court, a considerable crowd of persons collected in the immediate vicinity thereof, in con sequence of its having become known that two men were to be brought up from the Paddington-station on the charge of having assaulted, with intent to murder, Mrs. Sarah Green, a lady of independent property, residing at No. 5, Fulham-place, Pad dington, and also with stealing a gold watch, a quantity of plate, &c. After some cases of minor importance had been disposed of by Mr. Tyrwhitt the prisoners were placed at the bar. Th e y g ave their names William West and James Barker, the former describing himself as a hairdresser, 42, King-street, Borough, and the latter as a hawker, 3, Walworth-gardens, Walworth. The hearing of the case excited, as may be imagined, a great deal of interest, and the court was therefore much crowded. The lady who was so brutally attacked, and who is 75 years of age, was quite unable to attend. The first witness called was Elizabeth Askew, who said—l am in the service of Mrs. Green, who is a widow. On Th urs d a y even ing last, at half-past nine, I went i n t o th e kit c h en to get supper for my mistress, and took it up to her in her bedroom, which is the front room on the second floor. As soon as I opened the door I saw two men in the room. One of them had hold of the throat of my mistress and pressing her against the back of an arm chair upon which she was seated, and the other was by the side of the bed looking at a secretaire. Ido not know whether it was open or not. The man who had hold of my mistress ex claimed, "If you scream I'll murder you." I threw the tray down stairs, and screamed out " Murder" as loudly as I could, after which I turned to the door again, when the man had quitted his hold of my mistress, and was standing with his back to the fire. He had on a black mask, when he hastily pulled it off, and rushed across the room towards me. I suddenly turned roun d, w hen he and his companion pushed past me, and by the force with which they ran against me I fell down two or three stairs. As soon as I could get up I went back to my mistress, whom I found bleeding profusely from wounds on the head. I immediately ran for medical assistance, and two doctors soon came to the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was anything missed from your mistress's bedroom? Witness—Yes, your worship; a gold watch, and numerous spoons, forks, &e. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Where was the property taken from ? Witness—From a plate-basket under my mis tress's dressing-table. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You mean the dressing-table in the bedroom you have spoken of. Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What other persons were in the house at the time ? Witness—The cook and another woman. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Where were they when you took up the supper ? Witness—l left them in the kitchen. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you think you could point out the man who had hold of your mistress's throat in the way you have described? Witness—l believe that is the man—painting to the prisoner, West. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Now, with regard to the man who was, as you say, at the secretaire, can you point him out ? Witness—l don't think I should know him again. Mr. Tyrwhitt—When you taok up the supper, as you have stated, was the front door open or shut ? Witness—lt was shut. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Have you since seen any of the stolen property ? Witness—l have not. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls there any back door leading into a garden at your house ? Witness-,There is, your worship, but it was fas tened up. The prisoners here said that they knew nothing about the matter. Inspacter Steer, I), said he had other witnesses present, wlio would be able to give most important. evidence. John Holden, in the service of Mrs. Peirce, the Warwick Hotel, Falham-placo, said—Oa Thursday evening last, at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock, I saw two men in conversation together by a dark wall oppo site Mrs. Green's house. One of them had his back towards me, and he crossed over and went through a gate, which I imagine was that of Mrs. Green's ; while I was waiting to see if the people at No. 27 wanted any beer, another man passed me twice, and after I had gone back, I returned in five minutes, he was not there. It was not long before I heard an alarm that a robbery had been com mitted, and a lady attempted to be murdered. I believe the tall man (West) to be ono whom I saw near the spot. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Now, as to the other prisoner, can you speak, with any kind of confidence, as to his being the man who was with him P Witness (after looking closely at Barker)—l think he is not so full in the face. The man I saw had a moustache. B Arker here said—l have not worn a moustache at all, and I pan bring a constable of the M division, who has known me for years, to prove it. Inspector Steer was next called, and said—At 20 minutes to 9 on the evening of the 24th I heard an alarm of thieves. I went to the house, and on going up stairs found the bannisters broken. I went into the bedroom, where I found the life-preserver and black crape mask by the door. (They were pro duced.) I saw that a desk had been broken open, and picked up a screwdriver lying by the side of it. The contents of the desk were in a very confused state, and many papers had been turned out of it. I saw by the side of the bed a plate basket, in which there was only one article left. Mrs. Green was sitting in a chair, having severe marks and contu sions all over head, and was bleeding profusely. She was attended to by two surgeons, aub is not considered to be out of danger. I received infor mation that two men were in custody at the station in Stones-end, Borough, on suspicion of being the guilty parties, and I went there accompanied by the witness Askew. They were brought out with a number of other prisoners, when Askew pointed out West, saying she was certain he was the man whom she saw holding her mistress in the way before stated. Tyrwhitt—Did she point out the other pri soner ? Inspector—No, sir. The inspector added that he had searched the apartments of the prisoners, but he had found nothing therein in connexion with the robbery. Ile brought them in a cab to the Pad din gtonStation. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you tell them what they were charged with ? Inspecto - r—l did, sir ; and they made no answer. Hammond, 374 A, said that about 8 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, which was two days before the occurrence, he saw both the prisoners together in Park-place, Paddington -green, not far from Mrs. Green's residence. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had the prisoner Barker at that time a moustache ? Witness—l cannot say, your worship. Mr. Tyrwhitt—And yet, are you sure he is one of the men ? Witness—Yes, Sir. The prisoners, on being asked what they had to say, alleged that they were innocent, and asserted that they had never been in the neighbourhood of the prosecutrix's residence. Inspector Steer applied for a remand, being of opinion that upon another day he should be pre pared with other evidence connecting the prisoners with the outrage and robbery. They were remanded for a week. LAMBETH.-WIIOLESALE SWINDLING:—Henry Jackson, alias Low, alias Tapley, Eliza Jackson, his wife, and Mary Ann Low, a girl 16 years of age, who have been in custody for several days, and the two former of whom stand committed on a charge of swindling Messrs. Sowdon and Co., of Commer cial-place, old Kent-road, out of furniture and other property, to the amount of £l7O, were brought up on remand, and placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for further examination on other charges. Mr. Best appeared for the prisoners. The first witness called was Mr. Harris Parr, who deposed that on the 21st of June last he was in part nership with his brother, and carried on business as ironmongers, at 40, Blackman-street, Borough. On that day he was in the shop with his brother, when the male prisoner came there, and said he was about to be married, and wanted his house furnished. He said his name was Edmund or Edward Low, a sales man in the Cattle Market, and lived at No. 5, Grove terrace, Peckham. He also §aid that he banked with Messrs. Hill and Son, of West Smithfield, that his name was well known there and at the Cattle market, and the terms for the articles to be supplied was cash on delivery. At his request witness went to the house in Grove-terrace, where he saw the pri soner and also a female whom he represented to be his servant, and received directions to send fenders and fire•irons for the different rooms. He then told Low, as he then called himself, that his terms would be cash, and that the goods should be paid for on delivery, and he replied that was quite right, as that was what he intended. The goods or dered were sent to the house, and after that the female prisoner and the female he had seen at the house called, when the latter introduced the former as the intended wife of her master, and that she had called to select more goods. She selected a variety of articles, and amongst them a dressing-case, pair of razors, and razor strop, which articles, she said, she intended as a present for Mr. Low, and took them with her, and desired that they might be added to the bill. Mr. Elliott—What, add them to the general bill, though she was about to present her intended hus band with them ? Witness—Yes, sir. (Laughter.) At that time witness asked her when he should call for payment of the goods that had been sent, when she replied that Mr. Low was out of town just then, and would no doubt like to look over the invoice before paying, and if he sent it she would hand it to him on his return. On going to the house soon after he saw the female whom he had spoken of as the servant, and she said that Mr. and Mrs. Low were on their wed ding tour, but she expected them home shortly. On next calling he was told that Mr. Low was at Rom ford, and should be home next day if he did not go to Leicester, and when he called again he was told that Mr. Low had come home just as witness left on the former day, and had left directions that witness might send the things ordered by Mrs. Low or not. just as he liked, and if he did send them he was to send an invoice with them, and he should send or call and pay for them on the Monday following. Witness then said that the goods having been sold for cash, he should take no more trouble in the mat ter, but should place the matter in the hands of his solicitor. The value of the goods sent was £5B 18s. 4d., and none of them were paid for. About three weeks after they had been sent, from what he had heard, he went to the house and found it closed. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Best re specting the identity of some cruet-stands produced by the pawnbrokers, and he could not swear to them as his property, but he did speak to the identity of other articles found by the officers when they ap prehended the prisoners. Inspector Wools was called, and said that amongst the things found in possession of the prisoners was the invoice of the goods supplied by the last witness. Mr. James Wells, clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Hill and Son, of Smithfield and the New Cattle-market, said that Mr. Edward Low, a cattle salesman, kept an account at the bank, but the pri soner was not the person, nor had the male pri soner any account there. Sergeant Hull deposed that the male prisoner had admitted to him that his real name was Tap ley, and that he had been married to the female prisoner at Camberwell Church in the year 1854. Jackson and his wife were committed to take their trial on this charge also. The next charge entered on was one for obtaining china, glass, and delft ware to the amount of £32 65., from Messrs. Burdett and Co., Staffordshire•ware manufacturers, whose warehouse is at New-cross, by fraud. 'rho pretences used in this case were precisely the same as the last, bat in addition to the usual orders for different patterns of dinner and tea•services, the male prisoner, on calling one day, and finding that his intended bride had not ordered any champagne glasses, said, that though the youngest, he did not see why he should put up with anything less than his brothers, who were " stunning coves," and ordered two dozen. On this, the third. charge, the two elder prisoners were further committed for trial. _ Mr. Best addressed the Court on behalf of the younger prisoner, and submitted that there was no evidence against her to justify a conviction, and She was discharged. The learned gentleman then applied that the other female prisoner might be admitted to bail, and The Court consented to the bail being taken, two sureties in £2OO each. MURDER OF CAPTAIN SACK.--WO learn that Captain Sack, a gentleman well known in Singapore, has been murdered in a boat in which he was proceeding accompanied with a Fi - ench nobleman, from Soo-Chow to Shanghae. The murderers, two Italians, wished to obtain possession of a box of dollars the unfortunate gentlemen had with them, mid to ensure their evil desire proving successful they committed their purpose. Both the men have been arrested, and now await th,oir trial in. Shangllao —Lyndon and Chino Telegraph, THE MILLTOTVN OUTR4 GE. The protracted trial in this case was resumed yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The interest was unabated, and the Court was as crowded as on any former day. Ann Newsom, another witness for the prisoner, was examined by Mr. Sidney in order to prove an alibi. She is the prisoner's first cousin. She remembered the time the prisoner came home on the night in question. She assisted her aunt to pull off' his coat just as the clock struck 10. In other respects she corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Meara, her aunt, with whom she lived for three years. Her cross-examination by Sergeant Sulli van was very amusing. Her answers, which were all given " to the best of per knowledge," were to the following effect has one child living with her. She is married, " of course,"—about four years. Cannot tell in what month, or where ; sup poses it was in a church ; of course it must have been. To the best of her knowledge it was by a clergyman. Had her child about three months after. Will not swear it was three weeks. Two months after the marriage her husband went off to Australia. Thomas Boyle, who slept in the same house with the prisoner, swore that he was in at half-past 10 sitting at the fire with his coat off. Luke Whelan, a cab-owner, was next examined. He also lodged in the house with the prisoner. He was home on the night of the outrage about five Minutes to 11, and when he came in he saw the prisoner. This witness admitted, in cross-examina tion by Mr. Barry, that there was a subscription among the cab owners and cab drivers for the de fence of the prisoner, and that he had himself sub scribed to the fund. This fact about the subscription seemed to take the Court and jury by surprise. Willirn Dooley was examined as to the time at which the prisoner came home, but on cross-exami nation he admitted that he neither looked at the clock nor heard it strike, but " partly guessed " the time to be exactly a quarter past 10 o'clock. John Boyle, another lodger in the house with the prisoner, saw him in the house that night, but could not exactly tell the hour. Sylvester Mogan, another lodger, was in bed and could not tell what time the prisoner came in. Susan Harley swore that she saw a cab in a lane about the time of the outrage, which she believed to be Mrs. Connor's cab. This was the last witness for the defence. The Court adjourned for 10 minutes. When their lord ships returned, the foreman of the jury said that some of the jurors wished to have Miss Jolly ex amined again as to some parts of her evidence Miss Jolly was sent for, and in a few minutes en tered the court, which was at this time densely crowded. A juror —Previous to the period when the 19 men were paraded in the Castle-yard, had you an oppor tunity of seeing John Curran, the prisoner ? Miss Jolly—Yes ; I saw him about a quarter of an hour before. Where was that ? Miss Jolly—When I was at the drawing-room window. You then identified him as the offender ?—Yes. Were you assisted in that identification by hear ing the prisoner's voice ?—No. The voice did not assist you in forming a recog nition P—No. You heard him him speaking in the hall ?—Yes, but that was after I identified him. Hearing his voice did not assist you in forming your opinion that he was the person ?—No, it did not. Mr. Curran—Would your Lordship have any ob jection to ask her was that on Thursday ? Judge Ball—Of course it was. Judge O'Brien—Where did you first see the cab man, Miss Jolly ?. Miss Jolly—Vhen I was sitting in the drawing room with mamma, about three-quarters of an hour before. Where was Curran with when you saw him? Miss Jolly—He was with another cabman. Mr. Sidney—Woald your Lordship be pleased to ask her was he at that time in the custody of the police ? Miss Jolly—l did not see any police with him. Mr. Sidney—Would your Lordship have the goodness to ask Miss Jolly is she aware that Curran was brought to the Castle-yard that day in the cus tody of the police? Judge Ball—Do you mean whether she saw him coming in in the custody of the police? Mr. Sidney—No, my Lord, but is she aware of it as a fact ? Judge O'Brien—Are you aware that Curran was brought that day into the Castle-yard in the custody of the police ? Miss Jolly--No, I was not aware of it. You did not know it ?—No; I did not know it at all. You do not know it even now P—No. Judge Ball—Do you wish to ask Miss Jolly any other question ? Mr. Sidney—Nothing further, my Lord. The witness Nowlan, who was the person who found the cushion on the Rathmines-road on the night of the occurrence, was recalled. Foreman—When did you first see that cushion ? Witness—On the 27th of September. I t was driving home to my own place. It was on the road near to my own residence. Was there light enough that night to perceive it clearly ?—There was. I perceived it from the box while driving. Was there a lamp convenient to it ?—There was. Was it the light of the lamp or the light of the night showed you where the cushion was P—l think it was the light of the night. The witness was not further examined. Mr. Francis Beatty was examined by the Crown, for the formal purpose of proving the venue, and deposed that Classon's-bridge and the fields beyond it were in the county of Dublin. This closed the evidence. Mr. Walsh, Q.C., then spoke to evidence on the part of the Crown. In the course of a very able ad dress he argued that the evidence as to the identity of the prisoner, the sole point for inquiry, was com plete. The testimony of the unhappy woman, Agnes Wiles, might be dismissed from the minds of the jury without prejudice to the rest of the evidenoe, with which it was not mixed up. No one bad ven tured to intimate that Miss Jolly did not tell the truth to the best of her ability. Counsel doubted her opportunities for knowing the man when she spoke to him at the cab door, when he stopped on the way, and again when she thought he was going wrong, and especially during the struggle, with his face near her, with every movement of his features, every gesture watched under the influence of terror, which leaves upon the mind the most ineffaceable impressions. In order to displace her positive and distinct testimony they must believe that Colonel Lake and the police were guilty of a horrible con spiracy, and that they persuaded this young lady to accuse an innocent man ; but the counsel for the prisoner had not asked a solitary question to lay a foundation for this unnecessary charge against the police. He then analysed the evidence for the alibi, pointing out its weakness and self-contradictions, and arguing that it was fabricated so far as it re lated to the time in question. At the conclusion of the speech, it being near four o'clock, the Court adjourned till this morning, when Mr. Justice O'Brien will deliver the charge to the jury. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIIE VERDICT.

The upper deck and bulwarks arc generally strengthened, and cannon, constructed on the most recent and improved principles, put on board. In order that the guns may be worked, so as to do as great execution as possible if the vessel be attacked by any of the Southern privateers, practical gunners have been engaged, and in most cases the number of hands increased. The cargoes, too, of many of these vessels are not of the most peaceful character, as is well known to those engaged in their stowage. Within the last few days several ships have left the Mersey for New York, which will prove Tar tars should they be molested by privateers." LONG SERVICES A. ND LONG SERMONS% - - We all remember a.; children what we have gone through in church. We all remember how, at that periou of our lites. we have made our own divisions of the Church services, and, seplrating the long two hours' ritual into different clauses, have checked each off as it was' accomplished, but have remem bered with despair that even when the collect (which we viewed with bitterness from having learnt it in the morning) was read, there was the Litany —shame that so beautiful a service should be so thought of even by a child—and after that the Com munion, and then after all the sermon, and when that might end who could tell P We all remember how we have wished the sermon came first, because then, that once over, we should know exactly where we were with the rest. We have all—do not deny it, worthy sir, because you have—all, while the sermon was delivering, watched the thickness of the pile of pages that had been read, and compared it with the bulk of those yet to come. We have all rejoiced as the lump first mentioned got thicker, and that last named got thinner. We have all experienced heart sickness when we found that the clergyman, having got to the end, turned his book round and began again on the backs of the pages. We have all ex perienced torture when, in a sermon in heads, we have found ourselves after 20 minutes only arrived at the end of the first head, remembering that there were two more, and beyond those, in a vista of fidgets, an application, and the conclusion. We all remember the threat of "something to be explained presently," and how we used to reflect when the sermon seemed near its end, that it couldn't be, be cause that threat had not yet been fulfilled. And lastly, we all remember our longing for those blessed words, " And now," and also what our sen sations were, when a fallacious " and now" hap pened to come in in the course of the sermon, making us jump off our seats in anticipation of the end, and proving only the commencement of a new view of the subject in hand. And why have we spoken of these sensations as belonging only to our childish recollections ? Surely this is not altogether fair P If we were put on the rack and compelled to own the truth, should we not at the first twinge, at the first turn of the screw, cry out, " I own it ! Many of these very feelings, these hopes and fears, pass through my mind every Sunday of my life ?" Yes, we should speak thus, if we spoke the truth. Now, the question is simply this,—Why should this improper and distressing state of things go on ? Why should we suffer under what it is in our own hand to remedy, and remedy without a shadow of offence to the weakest brother, still less to the real interests of vital religion among us ? What we urge—urge most reverently, but most strongly—is no change in any single iota of doctrine, nor even in the words of which our ritual consists. We simply wish that what was originally divided, what was intended to be divided, and what is better divided, should be divided ; and that three services, each one complete in itself, should not continue jum bled into an incomplete whole.—Dickens's All Inc Year Round.
