SIONEY 111AliKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. This is the first occasion under the new system by which the Bank return becomes available on Thursday instead of Friday evening. Annexed is the account of the week ending the 12th of June, and its general figures, compared with those of the preceding week, are favourable, since there is a moderate recovery in tho bullion, notwithstanding the shipment of £400,000 of gold to America, and £50,000 of silver on Government account to India, while the Government deposits present a good in crease, although £700,000 of Exchequer•-bills have recently been discharged : Rest £3,236,6o6—lncrease ....L14,014 Public deposits Other deposits On the other side of the account : Government Securities £9,BBB,6o7—Decrease.... 27,998 Other securities Notes unemployed 6,241,140.. Increase ....561,400 The amolnt of notes in circulation is £19,344,090, being a decrease of £521,605; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £12,011,904, show ing an increase of £71,087 when compared with the preceding return. _ . A further sum of £75,000 in bar gold was pur chased by the Bank of England, yesterday ; while 30,000 sovereigns were taken out for exportation to America. The Anglo-Saxon, which sailed for New York yesterday, conveyed £32,000 in specie. An active business is still reported in the Dis count Market, and full rates are enforced for all descriptions of commercial bills. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has continued very inactive, and for most of the principal staples slightly reduced rates have been accepted by holders. the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was rather more demand, and the sales reached 12,000 bales, of which 3,000 were for export and on speculation, but there was no alteration in prices. At the half-yearly meeting of the Commercial Dock Company held to-day it was stated that the warehouses have continued well filled with grain and flour. The addition to No. 4 warehouse has been completed at a cost of under £lO,OOO, increas ing the accommodation by about 20,000 quarters, and the new building is now being brought into occupation. After some discussion the report was adopted, and the proposed dividend of L 2 10s. per cent. for the half-year to 31st December was declared. There has been very little animation in the raark,?t for public securities to-day, speculation for the moment being exceedingly dull, but the quota tions have been well maintained, Consols being 8 91 90 for money, and 901 Z for the account. The Bank of England return has exercised a favourable influence upon values. The New Threes and Re duced are 89Z 2; Exchequer Bills, March, 6s. ( Es. ; and ditto, June, 4s. prem. ; Bank Stuck is 231 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan, 982 d ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 944-, ; ditto 51 per Cent., 100 ; and ditto Debentures, 951 96. In the Foreign Stock Market the transactions have been rather restricted, but continued firmness has been apparent in prices. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 711; ditto (1858), 551 a ; Brazilian 42 per Cents., 878 ; Mexican, 221 ; Russian 3 per Cents., 611 ; and Sardinian, 781. In the Railway Share Market the operations have not been of a very extensive character; a fur ther improvement, however, has taken place in prices. North-Westerns have advanced ss. ; Cale donians, Midlands, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Easterns, 10a.; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £2. The Foreign and Colonial lines have continued inactive without any material change in values. Great Luxembourg realise 71 d ; Bahia and San Francisco, 10; East Indian; have improved to 1001 ; and Great Indian Peninsula declined to 971. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinued in fair request at slightly enhanced rates. London and Westminster improved 10s. ; London Joint Stock, ss. ; and London Chartered of Aus tralia, ss. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Dank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities B9/ 1 :3 per Cent.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.) "WILLINGTON V. WILLINGTON AND DALRYMPLE. This was a suit instituted by the husband for a divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, to which the defendants pleaded denying the adultery. Dr. Phillmore, Q.C., Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., and Dr. Waddilove, were counsel for the petitioner, and the respon dents were represented by Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Garth, and Mr. Griffiths. , From the evidence for the petitioner it appeared that he was a medical man, and resided at Hanswich, near Bir mingham, and that respondent was a young lady, of highly respectable connections in Scotland, and possessed of con siderable property in her own right. The marriage took place in Edinburgh in July 1849, and the parties lived afterwards in Hanswich, where the petitioner practised his profession. For about seven years after the marriage, of which there was no issue, they were very happy, but un fortunately the respondent contracted habits of intempe rance, which rendered their home very uncomfortable, but notwithstanding which, the petitioner was stated to have treated her with great kindness. In the early part of 1859 she went to visit her mother at Edinburgh, and on her return made certain statements to her husband which aroused his suspicion that improper intercourse had taken place between her and Dalrymple, who was a friend of her family, and held the situation of writer to the signet. The following year she wished to go again to Edinburgh, but her husband refused his consent, assigning as a reason what she had said respecting the co-respondent. She then took her oath, on a bible, that she merely made that state ment to aggravate him, and he appeared satisfied with her declaration. It appeared, however, from the statement of one of the witnesses that she admitted having gone to dinner parties and flirted with Mr. Dalrymple, and she expressed herself to the effect that she preferred him to her husband. Letters were also found at his place in her handwriting, couched in very affectionate terms, and it was proved in evidence that she had visited him at his office after leaving her husband. The following are the chief letters that were produced ; and identified as being in the handwriting of Mrs. Wil lington : "I confess you left me abruptly last night. It appears that you do not wish to make an appointment to .day, and I had too much pride to ask you to appoint a meeting. You know you have gained my whole heart's affections, more than any man ever did. Your own heart must tell you what happiness to see you, you dear fellow." "My dearest Willie,—l am going to London to .night by the 9 o'clock train. Do let me see you before I go, if only for five minutes. The ct,se comes on soon, so I want you to go to London, and I want to know what you are doing. We have pleaded denial only. You do the same. I saw Mr. Fraser, and he thinks you are all safe. No jurisdic tion' was the expression he used." " Dearest Willie—Do oblige me by telling me what you are doing in the affair with your solicitor, as I am with mine every day. I think we shall get off, as the condona tion is so strong. They say the judge's wig stood on end when he heard the doctor's letter to mamma." (Laughter.) [ln this letter the petitioner spoke of his wife being ad dicted to intemperance, and that she would ruin his prac tice.] " Now they are going on about the meetings since my return to Edinburgh this time. It is absurd, as we were too sharp for that, were we not ? I only came to you on business, when you were my lawyer, not in my own name, or before the writ was issued. lam also told that you do not care about me, but I cannot give yoir good heart credit for such a speech, witless under obligation, for you have no reason to speak so of your little friend. I hardly care, for myself, which way the case goes. I on ly care for you, for if the Doctor gains it you will have to pay so much." The other letters were dated from Newington-crescent, London, and she desired him to come and ask for her under the name of Mrs. Robertson. Lydia Nicholson, a waitress at Ramsey's Hotel, at Beat took, deposed that a lady and gentleman, whom she subsequently identified as Mrs. Willington and Mr. Dalrymple, supped there and slept together one night. They were accompanied by a little dog. The dog, a Skye terrier, which had been given by Mr. Dalrymple, was here produced and identified by the wit ness. Some other witnesses were called, which closed the peti tioner's case. Mr. Macaulay then addressed the jury on behalf of the co-respondent. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) RESULT OF A BANKRUPTCY FOURTEEN YEARS AGO - A ix clot GET OUT OF CHANCERY-IN RE 110Mi: - This bankrupt was formerly a cow keeper in the country, and was made bankrupt about fourteen years ago. He surrendered at the time, but did not file any accounts, the property having been thrown into Chancery by a relative. The suit having terminated in favour of the bankrupt, all the creditors will get 20s. is the pound, and leave a heavy surplus to the bankrupt. The statement by Messrs. John son and Wilson, Moorgate-street, shows debts, £1,273; surplus, after payment to creditors, £1,994. The bankrupt passed, as a matter of course, and will take a certificate instead of obtaining a supersedeas. IN RE MORGAN. The b tnkrupt was described as of Greenfield-street, Whitechapel, draper, and this was an examination. The accounts are very voluminous, in consequence of the great number of accounts, and Messrs. Johnson and Wilson asked for an adjournment for a month. Mr. J. G. Bland, accountant, Basinghall-street, is engaged on behalf of several creditors. Mr. Bishop appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Pork for the bankrupt, who had been released from custody in the Queen's Bench Prison by order of this Court. IN RE CROFT. This bankrupt was a confectioner at Maidstone, and this. was an examination meet i ng, b ut Messrs. Johnson arid Wilson not having had sufficient time to prepare the ac counts, an adjournment was granted. IN RE J. R. SMITH-JUDGMENT. In this case the plaintiff had been mixed up in the recent great failures in the leather trade, and especially with Lawrence, Streatfield, and Co. The case has been very fully'reported. His Hondur now awarded an immediate certificate of the second class. CENTRAL clinvr vA L COURT—(Zhis Day). OLD COURT. MA. NSLAUGHTEII. An Italian named Parrieto was indicted for the man slaughter of a militiaman named Lynch. The original indictment against the prisoner was for mur der, but that the grand jury ignored ; and, therefore, the prisoner was tried for the minor offence. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was in the Magpie public-house at Richmond, where the prisoner (a street organist) and his wife were present. Some joking began, and the militiaman asked the prisoner's wife to go to the bar for a pint of beer. This the prisoner thought an insult, and he was greatly enraged at it. Lynch, the deceased, and the other men still kept " chaffing" the foreigner until he became so excited that he stabbed Lynch with a knife in such a manner as to cause death very shortly after. The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter but recommended him strongly to mercy on account of the great provocation he had r ece i ved. The Learned Judge sentenced him to 12 mouths' impri sonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE GREAT SILK ROBBERY. William Crane, Peter Debock, Joseph Barker, and John Newton, were indicted for stealing a large quantity of silk from a barge near the London Docks. The facts of this extensive robbery have appeared in The Sun, during the examination of the prisoners before the magistrate, at the Themes Police-court. All the prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine defended Newton, Mr. Sergeant Parry, Debock ; Mr. Sleigh, Crane ; and Mr. Cooper, Barker. The prosecution is conducted by Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland. From the great number of witnesses to examine, it is not likely the case will conclude before to-morrow evening. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH• STREET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As an erroneous impression of my case may be formed to my prejudice by the report of the debate in the House of Commons last night, I shall be grateful for the insertion of this letter in your journal. The opposition to the appeal made on my behalf pro ceeded mainly on the supposition that having received the amount of the grant in 180, I had accepted it in satis faction, and without complaint or showing its inadequacy until now. The facts are, that immediately upon learning that it was intended to propose a grant of £5,000, Dr. Brady, upon whose motion the select committee had been obtained, wrote to the then Secretary of the Treasury, pointing out that it was the desire of the committee that I should be fully compensated, and showing that I had incurred actual pecuniary losses through the prosecution to the amount of nearly £20,000, expressing his hope, therefore, that the Government world reconsider the amount of the contem plated grant. I also memoralised the Lords of the Trea sury to the same effect, accompanying the memorial with a detailed explanatory statement. Upon the motion of Dr. Brady, this memorial was printed and circulated with the votes. The £5,000 was not paid until after the close of the session of 1859, and the receipt I then gave was simply an acknowledgment of that amount. In the following session Sir Fitzroy Kelly presented my petition with the object of obtaining such a farther sum as would cover the actual outlay to which I had been put, so that I might have the £5,000 clear for my personal benefit. No motion was then made to the house, a hope being enter tained that the Government might be induced to consider the claim without further consuming the time of Parliament, That hope having been disappointei, the steps with which your readers are acquainted were taken in the present session. Another misapprehension was that the speciality of my case was confined to the treatment I received in Norfolk Island. When a deputation of my friends waited upon the late Home Secretary he stated that I had been prosecuted by the Bank of England, adding that if I had been prose cuted by the Government my case would have stood upon a special and distinct ground. Dr. Brady subsequently proved that I had been prose cuted by the Treasury, and this fact had evidently great weight with the house and with the Government itself in granting the select committee. So far as my friends and myself can trace, I am the only person ever prosecuted by the Government, and afterwards pardoned on the ground of innocence. There is therefore practically no force in the argument that the Government, by aceeding to my appeal, would subject themselves to numerous similar applications. The special features of my case adverted to by the select committee, in their report, are three :—First, the circum stances presented to their notice in respect to my convic tion ; second, the treatment in Norfolk Island ; thiid, my subsequent exculpation. And these the committee say made my case peculiar and exceptional. My conviction, as I have always complained, and as the sequel proved, was obtained by the prosecution having shut out the very evidence upon which my innocence was after wards proved and admitted. This, of course, lay at the root of the catalogue of loss and suffering which followed, and which, therefore, formed the primary and main ground of complaint against, and consequent claim upon the Government. My treatment in Norfolk Island was indeed extraordinary ; but the pecu liar claims upon the Government upon which I base my appeal are, that mine was not a prosecution at the instance of one subject against another, but specially directed by the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury in regard to public moneys the property of the nation, and that in the conduct of the prosecution a course was pursued which rendered it simply impossible for me to rebut the suspicion upon which my conviction was obtained. AB there appears to be some misconception prevailing relative to the ground on which the question was again brought before Parliament, may I be allowed briefly to add that Dr. Brady's motion was based up'n the conviction that the " strong claims on the favourable consideration of the Crown" which the committee considered I had were not adequately met by the grant of £5,000, seeing that the pecuniary loss I sustained by the unjust prosecution of which I was the victim, to say nothing of the personal suf fering which I therefrom endured, amounted to fully four times that sum. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, W. H. BARBER. Abchurch-chambers, Abchurch-yard, Qunoon-street, London, E.C., June 12th, IS6I. MR. LAING'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The Indian papers are still discussing Mr. Laing's financial statement. The following is from the Friend of India:—Although the pressing necessity for aid from England to the famine stricken districts has passed away, the liberality which sent out £20,000 as a first instalment is ap preciated here. And it may be required. At pre sent even Bengal and the most fertile parts of Madras feel the want of rain. The famine still prevails as severely as ever in the districts of the North-West and Punjab. It is impossible to depend with any certainty on the rains of July and subse quent months, and all past analogy is against th e probability a copious fall. Should they fail the generosity of England will be sorely tried. There have been two series of affrays in the in digo districts attended with loss of life. In one instance a native deputy collector, who had gone to a subdivision of Jessore to try a rent case, when attempting to disperse an illegal assembly, was beaten and had to flee for his life. When the magistrate, after investigating the case next morn ing, tried to arrest the guilty parties, he and the police with him were attacked by the peasantry, and three men were killed and three wounded. In another instance, while the hired servants of one of the Bengal Indigo Company's factories were engaged in weeding a piece of land, part of which had been decreed by the court as belonging to the factory, they were attacked by an armed band of ryots, and one man was speared to death. It ap pears from the report of one of the special commis sioners, that the ryots boldly declare they have combined not to pay rents. To add to the difficul ties of the Bengal government, the Sonthals have been led to assume an uneasy attitude, on account of suits for the enhancement of their rents and pressure exercised by the money lenders. Nothing has transpired since the death of Count Cavour of the intentions of the Italian Government with regard to the proposed loan of £20,000,000, but the belief is that there will be no serious delay. It is understood that all the energetic measures contemplated by Count Cavour for promoting railway and steam enterprises will be Zed ously executed PY his mown, ,~. 3.2.10! 4.18.6 all 18.1\ Si 24.8.01 8} 9 37 39 310 3 2 0 3 31 135 145 341 361 11 2 41 54 I 181 191 55 57 366 370 871 921 100 110 11 21 9 10 10 12 14 16 MINES.

In the midst of the torrent of vituperation poured out against England by the journalists and letter writers of the United States a most satisfactory ex ception may be cited in the case of the New York Commercial Advertiser, the oldest evening paper in that city. It has had several logical articles on the question of privateering and belligerent rights, and the latest numbers contain the following, which are said to be from the pen of one of the most eminent lawyers in the State : " Vessels sailing under letters of marque from Jefferson Davis must be regarded either as privateers or pirates, and to avoid the latter alternative the belligerent attitude or character of the Southern Confederacy is to be recognised by England. Lord John Russell cites a precedent for this course, and supports the policy with arguments, The idea of the British Government clearly is, that as the conflict has assumed a magnitude which takes the rebellion out of the category of riots or merely local disturbances, and that practically the two sections of the repub!ic are at war with each other, it is not for England to refuse to both the rights which belong to parties or nations holding that relation towards each other. "At the first glance this recognition of the rebels as belligerents seems to be in their favour. But there is a view which our contemporaries seem to have overlooked. This giving to the Southern Confederation the status of a belligerent State gives to the Government of Washington an unquestioned right to blockade the ports of the rebellious States. It carries this with it as a necessary sequence. Admit that they are belligerents, and you admit also the right to blockade the ports by well-known provisions of international law. And a perusal of the speeches of the various members of the British Cabinet shows that they fully appreciate the consequences of this step. With reser vation of tho universally admitted principle that a blockade can only be deemed valid when it is effective, Lord John Russell concedes the whcle matter of blockading—' I have no doubt that there would be no difference between the Go vernment of her Majestc and the Government of the United States on that point.' What, therefore, at first seems an advantage to the South really becomes an advantage to the North. " We regard the explanations given by British Ministers in both Houses of Parliament as highly satisfactory, and should the further consultations with the law officers, and the despatches carried out by the new American Minister, lead the English Government to stop at the point they have reached—as we are almost certain they will—we can see little or no danger of trouble in that quarter. There has been nothing said, nothing hinted, by that Government about recognising the nationality or independence of the revolted States, and we feel sure that no such intention exists. Although regarding them as belligerents, England has not yet conceded to their privateers the further rights which would belong to the privateers of a recognised na tionality. She fully admits our right to blockade their ports so long as we make it effectual. She declares her purpose of maintaining a strict neutrality, and her Sovereign is about to issue a proclamation that any British subject entering the service of Southern privateers, or otherwise taking part in the contest, must abide by the consequences of his act, and will receive no protection from his Government in case of capture by either of the belligerents. More than this we could hardly expect. . . . " Great Britain will not judge the right of the contro versy. She will respect actual facts. She will deal with the acts of the Secession States as a matter of fact, and not of principle. Can she do otherwise ? Would we submit to her doing otherwise I If we were to insist upon her judging of the contest, we should admit her right of judging. If she has a right to decide on this as a question of principle, then we must consent to her deciding as she may judge fit, for we cannot insist that she shall form a judgment only on condi tion of its being in our favour. " She must judge whether war is levied so as to differ from mere private marauding. But when such a war— treasonable, rebellious, or not—is levied so as to embrace armies, to comprehend large organised districts, and to call for the outpouring of the whole strength of the parent State, she can but regard and admit the fact. She is not to punish the treason or to put down the rebellion. She is not the keeper of our honour or the guardian of our nation ality. These are things that we do for ourselves, nor will we admit a foreign interference of that kind for or against us. " To what does it lead, that she recognises the Secession States as belligerents ? She will not treat their citizens as pirates ; but she will not prevent our doing so. They would not be pirates by the public law, although they would by the law of the nation to which they belong and from which they attempt to revolt. " It leads also to trade with these Secession States so far as neutrals may; consequently British ships will protect their property if part of their cargoes, as neutral ships may But they will not protect the property which is contraband' They will not override a blockade. This would be far more than treating them as belligerents. It would be at once an abandonment of neutrality and an act of war; while neu trality, or non-interference, is the sentiment of all the lead ing men of Great Britain. " The principle of treating the Secession States as belli gerents relieves the United States from reclamations for law less acts, under Secession auspices, upon British property. If Great Britain allows that Georgia is a belligerent and at war with the United States, the latter cannot be held accountable for insults to British ships and mariners in the ports of that revolted State, or for robberies on the high seas by Secession cruisers. Against them England, if she believes in their pi obable existence, will do well to despatch her cruisers, for the United States are no longer to be held liable for those who are recognized as at war with the United States. "Is there indeed any fear that Great Britain will inter fere or abandon her neutrality ? She would thereby at once lose the advantage which neutrals always have in the carrying trade. She would lose the trade of the enter prising twenty millions of free persons North and West for the half number of mixed free and slave population South. Sho would act against the great sentiment of all her popula tion, the cotton manufacturers excepted. By protracting the struggle by her interference she would force the cotton States to lessen the cotton culture in order to raise provi sions, and would embarrass herself with allies who, if the first to fawn, have been the longest to hate. It cannot be easily conceived that Great Britain could adopt a policy so shortsighted, as well as unprincipled, as to interfere for the Secession States or to depart in their behalf from impartial neutrality. " Away with this distrust of England. She is our loyal friend, our natural ally, long forbearing with our wayward dealings, and more closely connected in intercourse, feeling, and interest, than she can be with any other people. Her honour, her sentiments, her conduct towards us for a long series of years forbid all timorous fears respecting her position in the crisis." THIS _DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, and all kinds were purchased with great caution, at barely previous cur rencies. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, at drooping prices. Barley was a slow sale, and in some instances the quo tations were in favour of buyers. In the value of malt no change took place. The demand was chiefly confined to good and fine qualities. Oats were a dull inquiry, at the late decline in prices. Beans and peas moved off slowly,yet there is no alteration to notice in the quotations for either article. Flour was very dull, and American barrels were freely offered at the late decline in their value. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The following are the petitions of the Romans to the Emperor Napoleon and to King Victor Em manuel. They have been signed by nearly 10,000 Romans, including about 50 noblemen " PETITION OF THE ROMANS TO THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 111. " Sire,—The rapid succession of events in Italy, and the condition, every day more unhappy, of this city, command the patriarchate and people of Rome to raise their voices, that you; Sire, and Europe, may hear the true expression of our desires and our wants. " The independence of Italy, the reconstruction of the Italian race into a vital, single, and compact nation has been, the dream of 10 centuries, the aspirations of 50 generations. If that dream is to-day a reality, if our generations to come shall no longer share the tears and slavery of past genera-. tions, it is a glory, Sire, which history will join to your name and to the name of the generous sons of France who fought at Magenta and Solferino. Victorious On battle fields, establi s hi ng as a b as i s o f t rea ti es t h e principle of non. Int ervention, you have avenged us in our liberty, you have freed us from foreign and internal oppression. But that the work may be completed, and that Italy may be consoli dated in tranquilli ty, it is necessary that the principle of non - intervention, the expression of the universal suffrage, the foundation of the new European right and of the new . Governments, should not be vainly invoked for Rome, the natural centre of regenerated Italy. "You have done all that was in your power to save the temporal dumain of the Holy See. If you have not suc ceeded, it is because of the force of events, because of the impossibility of institutions and convictions too much op posed to the principle of 1789, too strang e t o accord with the needs of the Italian nationality. Now, the moment is a solemn one, Sire, and we ought to say the whole truth. If the resistance of the Pontifical Court to satisfy these needs is any longer maintained, not only will there follow the. total ruin of the moral and material interests t of Rome, but; even the existence of Catholicism in Italy will be compe u ... mised. The constantly-increasing aversion of the Italians for the policy of the Papal ;Court may occasion a schism fatal to Eur o p e , t o It a ly, an d t o th e Ch urc h whose faith We profess and whose traditions we venerate. It is then neces sary, for the interest of the Catholic world, as well as for our national interest, that two Powers, at this day incompatible under the authority of one and the same person, sil'auld be separate, and that, regard being had to all the guarantees that can protect the spiritual authority of the Pontiff, that authority should be left the Church, and Rome should be reunited to Italy, from which she cannot and will not re main separated. Sire, our consciences command us to declare to you and to Europe that such are the wishes or the city of Rome. We have a firm confidence that you wilt render complete the gratitude of Italy by permitting the wishes of Rome to be satisfied. ," ADDRESS OF THE ROMANS TO VICTOR. EMMANUEL. " Sire,—Rome, to wh om h as been hitherto refused the right of enfranchisement granted to her sister towns, has not had, and could not have, any one to represent her in the great act by which Italy, constituted for the first time, has proclaimed you its King by means of the national Par liament. But Rome was present in intention at the solemn act, and, as already she has placed her confidence in you, and her hopes beneath the shadow of your flag, she now believes it her duty to break the long silence which those whose a. terest it is to calumniate her might misinterpret. " Rome, then, in the only manner possible to her, joins her vote with that of the Italian Parliament, and proclaims you her King. Receive then, Sire, by this address, the desires of the Roman patriarchate and people, which the undersigned, making themselves the interpreters of them, have the honour to present you, declaring at the same time that these votes and no others would be found in the urn of universal suffrage, if it were permitted to Rome to express her wishes by that Warts. " Civilised Europe must think that if a nation has the right of choosing its capital, Rome cannot be disputed to Italy except force be substituted for right and justice. Rome, nevertheless, waits for you, Sir; she raises her arms towards Sou; she asks that your flag—the flag of Italy— may he hoisted over the old Capitol." LITERATURE. Social Life and Manners in Australia. By a Resident. Longman. This little work purports to be the notes of eight years' experience of a lady in Victoria. We say purports to be, for it is evident that the author's topographical experience is derived from a map, and her other experiences partly from hearsay and partly from fancy. Nevertheless, as everybody is not supposed to have visited Australia; there is no reason why fiction may not be written about it ; but we should have preferred that the author had admitted the fact in the preface, seeing that any body who is in any way acquainted with Australia cannot fail to detect some error in almost every page; but treated in its true character as a work of fiction it is amusing, and as the author has taken the pre caution to avoid all reference to dates and proper names, those uninitiated in the mysteries of gold digging and colonial travelling may pass a dull hour away in the perusal of a volume which has certainly the advantages of novelty, being, we believe, the first attempt to give a lady's ideas of the gold-fields. Treatise on Mills and Millworks. Part I. By William Fairbairn, C.E., &c., &c. Longman. Mr. Fairbairn informs us in his preface that he has long had it in contemplation to give an account of his own practical experience on millwright con struction. In this the first volume he furnishes data and general principles for the successful guid ance of the millwright in his professional studies. In the next ho proposes to give a treatise on the new system of transmissive machinery, and on the arrangements necessary for imparting motion to the various descriptions of mills. From long ex perience in the construction of mills, and a thorough knowledge of the principles which govern water power and other motive agencies, Mr. Fairbairn is eminently competent to carry out these views. He has a great respect for the millwrights of the last century, of wLom he gives the following account : THE MILLWRIGHT OF OLDEN DAYS. The millwright of former days was to a great extent the solo representative of mechanical art, and was looked upon. e . as the authority i n a ll t h e appl i cat i ons o f win d an d water , under whatever co n diti ons th ey were t o b e use d, as a motive Jack-of all-trades,gineer of the district in which he lived, a kind of work at the lathe, power for the purpo se s o f manu f a cture. He was the en who could with equal facility . the anvil, or the carpenter's bench. In country districts, far removed from towns, he had to exercise all thes e profes sions, and he thus gained the character of an i ngen i ous, roving, rollicking blade, able to turn his hand to anything, and, like other wandering tribes in days of old, went about the country from mill to mill, with the old song of " kettles to mend' reapplied to the more important fractures of machinery. Thus the millwright of the last century was an itinerant engineer and mechanic of high reputation. He could handle the axe, the hammer, and the plane with equal skill and precision ; he could turn, bore, or forge with the ease and despatoh of one brought up to these trades, and he could set out and cut in the furrows of a millstone with an accuracy equal or superior to that of the miller himself. These various duties he was called upon to exercise, and seldom in vain, as in the practice of his profession he had mainly to depend upon his own resources. Generally, he was a fair arithmetician knew something of geometry, levelling, and mensuration, and in soma cases possessed a very competent knowledge of practical mathematics. He could calculate the velocities, strength, and power of ma chines : could draw in plan and section, and could construct buildings, conduits, or watercourses, in all the forms and under all the conditions required in his professional prac ticea ; he could build bridges,. cut canals, and variety of work now done by civil engineers. Such Pe character and condition of the men who designed and to car ried out most of the mechanical work of this country, mom primitive the middle and end of the last century. Living - a in primitive state of society than ourselves, there pro babl y_,..,,, e , never existed a more useful and independent class mechanicali than the country millwrights. The whole t h em , and, knowledge of the country was centered amongstselpimprovement wherever sobriety was maintained and pe rform the aimed at, they were generally ble intellectual p9wer. It, upon as D ien of supe rior that early training, however, too frequently happened t e mptations of jovial com panions, attainments and of considerable con stant change of scene, and tl? ht into excesses which almost ra ooked panions, led theyoungrafir t g ions. His attainments as e the useful arts, were apt to of skimalas himself, unless he was born with a rude independence he would th mechanic,paralysed his and h g i o s od stan eas d.i i n i- g ca in . make him vain ; working with an inferior craftsman, or even with another as t. h remember an old mill hwr t and bred a mill= , n i offence with which his eml h who, oyes c arged in P alliati -1 1 1 a t he ought not to forget that repudiate the ideaa and he had condo him urge d —B e ven with carpenter to conde scended to work 8 please hi m , B M c r. Fairbairn commences with the early history of mills, and step by step, as he advances up to the present time, he explains the various construc tion of water, steam, and other mills, together with the requisite formula to regulate their mechanism. We have also several plates illustrating different mills which he has erected in various parts of the country, demonstrating the peculiarities of the principles on Which they are built. The various forms of boilers are considered in chapter 8; and chapter 9 is devoted to windmills, the consideration of the causes of their limited use, the forms and proportions of sails, and the regulation of speed. The volume is concluded by a series of experiments upon the efficiency of the vortex wheel. THE POLES AND THEIR PRISON.--Eighteen miles from Warsaw stands the largest fortress in. the world, a fortress with casemated and bomb-proof barracks for 40,000 men, and with a circumference of 11 miles. Who. ther this fact is generally known or not, it is certain that very few Englishmen—very few persons of any country but Russia—have been allowed the opportunity Of inspecting this wondrous stronghold. Nor, I believe, is cur Govern ment at present in possession of any plan or sketch of the immense works ; and as evidenceof the jealow fy t h w i w hich it is hidden from the eyes of strangers, I may mention that special permission from the Czar is requisiiie to enable any foreigner to enter it.
