THROWING A STONE AT THE GOVERNOR OF A GAOL.— On the 16th init. a man named Thomas Smith, an artil leryman, sentenced to nine months' hard labour for a burglary at Sheerness, was brought before Mr. J. Bone, the governor of Maidstone Gaol, for a breach of prison discipline. After investigating the matter, Mr. Bone ordered the man to undergo some punishment, when he suddenly threw a large pointed stone, uhich- he bad secreted about him, at the governor. Mr. Bone at the moment bent down his I.eal, and the stone passed the back of his neck, and dashed to pieces a portion of a piece of furniture attached to the wall of the mom. From this it was evident that had not the stone missed its mark, most sericus consequences must have en sued.

Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P., her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, attended at the office, in Whitehall, for the purpose of meet ng several eminent architects invited for the purpose of offering opinions on the proposed new buildings to be erected for Government offices at Westminster. The right hon. baronet, addressing the gentlemen, said her Ma jesty's Government had determined to erect two new pub lic offices on the vacant site near Downing-street, and also to lay out the new route to these offices from the Palace at Westminster. One of the offices proposed to be erected was for the use of the Secretary of State for War, and the other for the Secretary of State for Foreign Af faits. The Government proposed that these buildings should be erected between Charles-street and Downing street, and that the site between Whitehall on the north, Great George -street and Now Palace-yard on the south, the river Thames on the east, and St. James's-park on the west should bo laid out as artistically as possible, at the same time giving as much amount of public conveni ence as was necessary with a view of making a direct communication between the offices and the Houses of Parliament. It was the intention of the Government, after having beard the opinions of the gentlemen he was then addressing, to invite architects of all c >untries to prepare designs and to compete for the erection of the buildings. Several gentlemen then offered various sug gestions, which the right hon, baronet promised should be carefully considered, in order that the works might be proceeded with ; and the interview terminated. The inhabitants of the Haymarket and Coventry-street are threatened with a visitation which is looked upon by them as one which will remove from that vicinity its last claim to respectability. It is proposed to build in this thoroughfare—which, after the theatr es , is sc arce ly w id e enough for th e tra ffi c o f furious cabdrivers and half sobered aristocratic coachmen—one of those offensive and unsightly erections, which, if placed under police regulations and proper surveillance in some more appro pi late locality, would remove the serious complaints which are raised against them. The peculiarity of the vicinity, and the fad that the inhabitants of the Haymar ket nearly all sleep upon their own premises, and have not the luxury of country mansions, is urged as an addi- tional reason that such a place should not be obtruded, i m mediately beneath the observati on o f their Taaan2"iiiwese7, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1856. DIP,O_VACY AND THE ITALIAN QUESTION.* A. LETTER PROM L. C. FAT,INI TO MR, W, GLADSTONE. [We (Dail✓ News) this day present our readers with the first in , talment of a translation of this important pamphlet, which has already been more than once al hided to in our columns.] Illustrious Signor,—When a few years back you pub lished to Europe the dishonesty and ferocity of the Neapo litan Government, and I wrote to yen publicly that the condition of the Roman States, so miserably governed by priests, would become worse day by day, there were few men in office who were willing to support statements ad verse to governments which appeared anxious to restore the altars and the thrones weakened by civil storms. Fora cer tain time there prevailed a courteous, I may even say a religious, mode of vituperating free constitutions and ele vating the exercise of absolute will, in consequence of which not only every lo'er of liberty, but even every high spirited man, who dared to think and say that even popes and kings are subject to the moral law, became objects of calumny. Owing to this, our miserable governments, without any feeling of prudence, or any pricking, of shame, rushed hurriedly along the slippery road which they had chosen, thinking to gain the benediction of the Lord be cause they had already received the blessing of the Jesuits, and to obtain the suffrage of civilised nations because their diplomatists looked on silently and idly. Hence it was that many of the Italian populations became persuaded that it was in vain to hope that any good could come from patient counsels, from the influence of public opinion, or from the efforts of diplomacy. The consequence of this showed itself in anger ill repressed, in inconsiderate 'vio lence, and in cruel acts of revenge. But within the last few months the inclinations of the men who manage the political relations of the West ap pear changed ; for they have spoken publicly in terms of reprehension of the wretched governments of the Penin sula, and have expressed their discontent in the latest form at the Congress of Paris, acknowledging that the Italians have, at least as well as the Turks, the right to be Christianly governed. This now state of things had the effect of calming down the tempestuous passions of souls which had almost given themselves up to despair; for even the slightest hope of a little justice works wonders of civil prudence in populations worn down with the bitter affliction of long and heavy injustice. The present, then, appeared a good opportunity for publishing the truth on Italian affairs, and, better still, for coining to such an arrangement with respect to them which should be less repugnant to proper notions of civil government --which should contribute to the satisfaction of the populations and the security of Europe. Bat it was only a transient opportunity, for the governments taken to task at the CJuncil of Paris set themselves to work eagerly to alter and corrupt the truth with indefatigable industry, and it became manifest that those who had confided in the hope of obtaining some satis faction by the good offices of the Western Powers, would again betake themselves to desperate courses, as soon as they found themselves disappeinted in the hopes they had conceived. And I have too much reason to fear, sir, that the opportunity is gone by, inasmuch as on one side I see the miserable governments becoming frantic in evil words and actions; and, on the other hand, it appears to me that Western diplomacy has entered into the lists without any distinct plan of operation, and without any resolute inten tion to adopt promptly all the provisions necessary to at tain a premeditated end. I know very well how great and how numerous are the dangers and difficulties of the Italian question, and I can easily enter into the views of those worthy men, not natives of Italy, who thought it imprudent to drag Italy into the field at the moment when Europe had with im menAe efforts put to rest, if not settled, the Oriental ques tion. But after the solemn declarations made by the Go vernments of France and England ; I very much deceive myself if these very men who thought the declarations ill judged would not consider that the interests of these two great nations imperatively demanded! that every effort should be made to prevent these representations becoming of no effect. I know, too, what are the forms that diplomacy is ac customed to employ in conducting its transactions, but it seems to me far more advisable to respect from the very commencement the established forms than to show your self perplexed—l may almost say repentant—after having violated these forms with unusual clamour. Let 113 look, sir, into the protocols of the Congress of Paris. It is re corded that Connt Walewski said that the States of the Pope were in an abnormal condition, inasmuch as the Go vernment could only be sustained by the employment of foreign troops—giving it to be understood that France and Austria would withdraw their troops as soon as they could when all danger of disturbance had ceased. The Earl of Clarendon said that the system of administration of the Roman States might cccasion dangers which it was the duty of the Congress to avert, if it did not wish to labour in the cause of revolution. Moro was said, which it is not necessary to repeat word for word. Both these statesmen passed a severe judgment on the Roman government, con sidering., a change was necessary both for the quiet of the populations and the security of Europe. No member of the Congress denied the evils, the dangers, the necessity of a remedy. Not one took the part of the govern ment of the priests. The Austrian ambassadors spoke, but they did not think of becoming the advocates of the Court of Rome, inasmuch as they had nothing else at heart but to inlinnate excuses for the overbearing conduct of Austria. • They performed their task, certainly, but not without a notorious violation of truth, stating falsely that the E tato of siege no longer existed in Ancona, whereas it existed then, and exists to the present day. After the Protocols wo have to consider the memorials and the protests of Sardinia, and the discussion in your parliament and ours. These certainly did not moderate either the decisions of the Paffsian Congress, or the effects which they had produced on public opinion. Thus, when your Prime Minister had declared in full Parliament, that Rome had never been so well governed as in the time of the provisional government, the minds of all men wore in a state of suspense, expecting some important change; for these words appeared to indicate the adoption of a resolu tion of introducing into the Roman States a better and more solid government. It was not possible to suppose that they were flung out as food for flame in the midst of populations which have no need of exciting arguments to stimulate them to sedition. If now we examine what has been said and written on the affairs of Naples, we shall have proof that both govern ments and people have had reason for assuming, with even greater expectation, an attitude either of fear or hope. The fact is that, although the occupation of the Itoman States furnished the members of the Congress with a good reason for enlarging on the causes which perpetuate it, and the effects which it produces, they had no motive, founded either on treaties or on custom, for treating of the affairs of Naples. Nevertheless, Count Walowski went so far as to say that the Neapolitan Government had taken the wrong road ; that it would be proper to warn it, on this account, that means must be found to induce certain Go vernments to lay aside a system which goes in direct oppo sition to the end which they propose to themselves, be cause instead of striking the enemies of order, it weakens the Governments themselves, and obtains partisans for the cause of the demagogues. The Earl of Clarendon added, that being willing to imitate the moderation of the French plenipotentiary he would be silent as to facts which had obtained everywhere a sad notoriety. Afteiwards, as though in spite of moderation, he affirmed that the Neapolitan Government had not only given to Europe the right, but imposed upon it the duty, of speak ing loftily and severely on this subject. It was a dUty, therefore, to issue a warning that these utterances would not remain fruitless. When thew expressions were read every one imagined that the plenipotentiaries of France and England, foresee ing that their remonstrances would give cause of displea sure to the Governments thus admonished, by weakening their authority, would have already deliberated on the measures necessary to give effect to these utterances which were not meant to be fruitless. It could not, in fact, be supposed that those illustrious mon, enemies of the princi ples of the demagogues, and most wary guardians of the newly concluded peace, could imagine that they could, with out public danger, nay, without common shame, allo .v a Government which was in their opinion on the wrong road, a preparer of insurrectionary movements, a supporter of the principles of the demagogues—to remain without cor rection. Nor, indeed, could ib be supposed that they could hope to tranquillise the people by a simple exhi bition of benevolent intention, or to contract friend ship with, or bend to their own wishes, the Neapo litan court by dint of giving it a bad reputa tion, and by the vain sound of harsh reprehensions. Now, when four months have passed without any visible effect having followed such large and unusual declarations —nay, whdn we see that the despondency of the governed is increased, and the language of the censors moderated— those hopes which were excited take the appearance of a cruel mockery, and the obstinacy of the accused looks like a public insult to the importance of the occasion. Nor does it avail to say, sir, that we should put up patiently with the slow practice and ceremonious forms of diplomacy, for the minds of many are already, or will shortly become, contemptuously disposed, since it is evident that the West ern Powers are wandering on a path which can never lead to the desired goal. In fact, whilst the ; English ministers are publicly pro claiming their great anxiety for the welfare of Italy, they give, by way of earnest as it were, of its certainty, that the * ‘f La- Diplomazia e la quisti one Italiana, Lettera di Luigi Carlo Parini al Signor Quglielmo Gladstone. Torino. _. . 1.866.". Austrian government also has made itself the voucher for it in common with them or through them. Now you know, sir, that the oppressed are naturally suspicious, and ready to form rash conclusions; hence it will not astonish you to learn that many persons are going about all Italy exclaim ing—" We have been deceived ; the old tricks, the old shufflings ; the Western Powers, too, are making them selves the accomplices of Austria; you see the fruit of so many fine promises. Free England recomtnench our coun try, forsooth, to your Austrian commiseration; most puissant France, a Napoleon, is begging in a manner at Vienna for permission to do poor Italy a little good. You heard that English Minister niatter to Piedmont—' Woe to thee if thou disturbest the'quiot dreams we wish to sleep out under the laurels thou bast helped us to gather in the East ; woe to thee if thou disturbest those of Aus tria, to whom we are bound to feel most grateful, since she has not done, us all the harm she could. " It is not I, sir, who say these things. It is therefose grievous to me to hear them, yet more so to repeat them ; hut even I can do no loss than attest how the conduct hitherto observed, and how the last declarations of your Ministers have given but too (limp reason for complaints of this nature, stirring up men's tempers, and pernicious to the good fame as well as the influence of the Western Powers. And in truth, when a man believes, or pretends to believe, that the Court of Vienna wishes to join in good faith those of London and Paris for securing the well being of the Italian peoples and the independence of the Italian states (permit me to say) he lonies the well-known truth, he offends the public conscience. The first, the greatest, I venture to assert, the sole mis fortune for Italy is the Austrian preponderance. You are horrified, sir, at the brutalitiegief the Neapolitan govern ment ; but if Austria did not preponderate in Italy, that despotism, which you have called the denial of God, would not be possible at Naples. For the first denial of God is this tyranny on the part of a foreigner, who does not owe his empire to treaties but to violence, to the fear with which he inspires princes, to the tortures with which he afflicts the peoples, to the discord he sows amongst all. You feel contempt for that weak clerecratic govern ment, that contends against the civil genius of the age for reasons of self-existence, and with troops of ruf fians strives for the prerogatives of sovereignty. But this clerical misgovernment would not be possible were Austria not there, who at ono moment whets the appetites and passions of the peoples, at another moment those of the clergy, that she may profit by the faults and errors of them both. Be assured, air, that there is no injury, loss, humiliation, or torment that Italy does not attribute it to Austria first—to Austria alone. Regard the way in which we live. Where is there in the couctries possessed or oc cupied by the Austrians, where is the Italian who, having any reputation to lose, can venture to consort or to be ou terms of intimacy with them? By what honest family, in what jocund company, can they be re , :eivecl on a footing of confidence and honour ? Where is the female that can look upon them with the eye of love without being lost, without sinking yet lower than the most abandoned wo man in the opinion of her fellow-citizans ? In this public usage, sir, may be learned the history of Austrian domina tion, and the reason for that immorta hate, which is so much the better, that it is not learned in the chronicle of conspiracies, plots, and seditious. And already we see what construction the Western Powers have put on the acts done in alliance with Austria. The King of Naples continues, indeed, to teach the way how to make false prosecutions with perjured witnesses; by which he intends showing to the world that he is the mas ter who can torture his subjects, that France and England cannot disturb the delight he feels in so acting. He even lets us see that he has the power even of giving the basti nado to priests and monks, without depriving himself of the religious satisfaction derived from the embraces and benedictions of the Holy Father. The Court of Rome in its turn has taken care to let us know that the clergy, in stead of being prompt to renounce those temporal privileges that give rise to such murmurings, are thinking of getting back again for themselves those few desirable employments yet left in the hands of a few laymen. Then Austria has made it clear how she is inclined to respect the independence of the states, running riot as she does with her soldiers in Parma, and increasing her bands in all the confines she has usurped. I will not speak of the arrests that are being constantly made all over Italy, nor of the wrongs and vexatious thence arising, for these are now and henceforth customary things, and I should say of small account, since it appears that Italians must accustom themselves to torture. Hence it is that every one imagines Naples and Rome would not have re plied in that fashion to the good offices of the Western Powers if they had not bad the full conviction of Austria's being with them, whatever fair professions she may make of being ou the side of France and England. Nor can it be said that this is a rash and false judgment, seeing that all the European Powers, through fresh evidence, have good grounds enough for suspecting the faith of Austria. France and England have both had sad experience of this. Prussia has learned what trust it can place in the words of the Chancery of Vienna. Russia has learned this lesson batter than all. Now is it likely that the good faith of Austria will bo displayed in Italy, where every liberal counsel, every agreement between free states, every now advance towards concord, would inflict injury and damage on its own state policy? This would not only be a miracle of honesty, but would be, iu the case of Austria, a miracle of folly. However, Ido not believe the government divine enough to work miracles, nor simple enough to work foolish ones. I say foolish, having regard to the disposi tion of Austria, its genius, its system, nay, to its destiny. On the other hand, no one can imagine the nature of the reproaches that Austria might with justice and good faith level against those princes who, according to Count w a l ewa td, are going on a wrong road. Would it allude in warning terms to the constitutions they have abo lished ? Why, Austria itself has given to some the com mand, to all the example in this direction. Will it reproach the King of Naples with his prisoners from whom ho has extracted confessions by torture ? Why, Austria is a master in infamy of this kind, practising it in Bologna and Ferrara, from which places proofs of the atrocities may be obtained. The Austrian slave-drivers aro accustomed to give five blows with the stick on the more accusation of crime ; then they examine the prisoner, and if he remains firm they repeat the five blows, and so on, until h© is either incapacitated from making any con fes;ion, or else makes ono of those confessions which they dare to give out to the public as explicit and spontaneous. Thus has Austria given lessons in Italy how to conduct state trials. I could quote the names of not a few of the victims, if I were not prevented by the f3ar of being the occasion of subjecting these unhappy wretches to more punishment from the stick, for having given intelligence of the sufferings they have endured. Perhaps Austria will admonish Cardinal Antonelli for having ordered that the punishment of the dungeon should be increased by that of compulsory fasting ; but the edict of Cardinal Antonelli, which in the second and third articles establishes these punishments in the case of thieves and pickpockets, bears date the 30th of July, 1855, while the sentences in which Austria condemns to the stick and compulsory fasting not only thieves, but even those guilty or suspected of treason, bear the date of ISSO, 1851, and 1852, as may be seen in the public journals. Or will Austria reproach the Court of Rome for not being able to guarantee public security ? Why, the robbers are more audacious, and crimes are more frequent and more atrocious in the Austrian dominions than in the city and in the lands occupied by the French and the Papal soldiery. Or perhaps Austria will censure the Papal Government for the disturbed state of its finances and its heavy taxes. But what finances can be more disturbed than those of Austria, or what population is more harassed than that of Ve n etian - Lombardy with taxes, extra taxes, subsidies, and forced loans? Add to this that the Austrian troops having cost the Papal Go vernment, sr rather its poor subjects, about thirty million francs, while the French occupation has cost nothing, it is evident how these troops, which are nevertheless insuffi cient to maintain public tranquillity, are amongst the prin cipal causes of the increase of the public burdens and the impoverished state of the public treasury. It is not my intention, sir, in adverting to these things to offer an excuse for the bad governments of Italy, of which civilised Europe complains, as an injury and insult to itself ; my intention is to put in a clear light the evi dence that the Western Powers cannot expect that Austria will be Eincoro in good counsels, honest practice, and in humane deliberation ; but that, on the contrary, they will never succeed in doing any good to Italy unless in opposi tion to and in despite of the court of Vienna. Nor will I attempt to conceal that many even fear that the diplomatists of the west are not only afraid of direct ing their attention to Austria, but that they do not dare to look steadily into the extensive evils of the states and the profoUnd vices of the governments, and that they con template superficial and deceptive remedies rather than such as are substantial and efficacious. have present Any one who thinks of Naples will always to his memory three kings in succession who forfeited their oaths. This fact alone places a great if not an insuperable difficulty in the way of the establishment of a stable Bour bon government. It is reported that diplomacy is at work to obtain the liberation of Carlo Poorio and other brave men. For this it ought certainly to be praised. Every honest Christian ought to feel it as a consolation that the time has arrived when the suffering of the oppressed ex cite compassion, and the cruelties of the oppressors con tempt, in the minds of the rulers of civilised nations. But the tardy liberation of a few innocent individuals, as it could not suffice to satisfy justice, so likewise it could not serve to restore the authority of government. It would be but justice that they should take the place of Norio who were the authors of his disgrace; and besides, no Mau ea 4 Make a merit of clemency that stands himself in need of it from others. They talk a great deal about Poerio and other respectable victims, but not a word about those thousands of unhappy creatures who do not happen to possess illustrious names. Now when it is known to all that the government of Naples buys wit nesses, corrupts the magistrates, and tortures the innocent, who can take upon himself the responsibility of mak ing a distinction between those that are condemned ? What will be the criterion whereby ho may separate the guilty from the innocent in that state, from which the shade even of justice flies scared away, seeing the pages of the Gospel contaminated perpetually b . } the polluted touch of wretches who swear that which is false as a matter of business ? It is but too true, sir, that those monstrous Neapolitan trials have not only filled the galleys with honourable men, they have also filled the halls and cabinet of the Government with an infamy greater than that which dwells in the galleys, and made notorious the corruption with which the whole body of the state is defiled from the head to the limbs ; they have utterly stripped it of all moral authority. Let us even suppose all the political prisoners to ho set free, and all the exiled to bo recalled to their country ; still, no one would be able to believe him self safe at Naples either in his liberty, or fortune, or honour, during the existence of a Government that for eight years has been conspiring against the liberty, for tune, and honour of every man to whom it bore ! They who think that things in Naples might be put in order by restoring Ferdinand's constitution of 1848, do not sufficiently reflect that the first foundation for peaceable and regular existence in a constitutional state is mutual confidence between the ruling power and the people. For when on either side there exists a continual suspicion of fraud, deceit, and violence, those disputes and changes of temper that are- natural in free cities, passing over from. slight to turbid and seditious passions, insensibly generate anarchy, which soon paves the way for fresh tyranny. I am saying something that will appear, and what perhaps really is, very extravagant on my part, but when it oc curs to me that King Ferdinand should think proper to swear to the constitution, I try to avert the omen, as if it were a curse to the poor Neapolitans. How quickly is my mind filled with images of that suspicious people, and that unbridled mob ! Then I see from afar the lurid figures of the Mazzas, the Campagnas, and other chosen robbers, who again fall upon the infirm state, with thousands of drunken lazzaroni with lying tes timonies. I wish that those to whom such imaginations seem too melancholy would make a selection in their own minds of those men who, in the state under the rising constitution should be ministers, or councillors, or criminal judges. The same persons perhaps would be invested with office who were in power in those years of perdition. And what security shall we have with these? Or will the King choose his ministers and magistrates from the number of those who are imprisoned, or exiled, or admonished ? But what will be the feelings of the people threatened with such a danger ? I fear that in this case Europe - would see a now Neapolitan emigration, I mean an emigration of the men persecuted by the very overtures of King Ferdinand. Less dangerous were the persecutions of Campagna. Some one might be saved from them. From the constitutional ministers of King Ferdinand no one would be safe. It is, however, a great subject for consideration that cer tain sudden leaps from the dungeon to the supreme situa tions in the magistracy are not very well calculated to give a dignified impression of authority, or to enliven that moral sense of which the Neapolitan people have so great a want, spoiled as they have been by so many bad examples of descents from high to low. The people who judge in the gross, seeing in the same kingdom the sudden ruin and the sudden fortune of the same inen, will say that the rolling wheel of fortune has carried upwards those who were fitted for drudgery only, or else that if they really wore worthy of the honours of the state, those who till now held the rudder are sent to the oar. Now this judgment, which, overcoming all constitutional conventionalities, will become prevalent, will be the occasion of incurable evils in the body politic. It is therefore befitting that diplomacy should take into consideration that if it is difficult to convert King Ferdinand to the cause of temperate government, it will be more difficult to make people believe in the sincerity of his conversion. Nor does one wish to forget what old and new reasons Sicily has for distrusting the promises of a Bourbon and the guarantees of others, or of what importance it is to establish sn , ith justice and equity the affairs of the island, if it be desired to give durability to those of Naples. Before we trace out, therefore, the forms of the Neapo litul Government, it is essential to make such provisions as may induce the people to believe in its honesty; for the very reputation of this quality gives to Governments a fcrco most conducive to the repose and tranquillity of the State. Moreover, it ought to be especially an object with . _ the Western Powers to have a system of national policy inaugurated at Naples. The Bourbon monarchy has always remainedisolated, I may say, from Italy, and this estrange ment has been and is the principal cause of the Austrian preponderance that now causes so much anxiety to the Western Powers, seeing that it not only affects and dis turbs the Italian, but equally threatens to a serious extent the European equilibrium. Now, it is clear to the Ita lians that the preponderance of Austria would be impos sible were the kingdoms placed at the two extremes of the Peninsula resolutely and firmly to maintain the guardli.n ship of their own together with the independence of the minor States, hitherto guaranteed in vain by treaties. The two Italian armies would suffice in °very conjuncture to keep Italy in peace and order, and likewise Austria in chock within the line of her duty; nor would the West , rn Powers be constrained, when war rages in Europe, to gar rison the weak States in Italy, but on the contrary they would be able to receive powerful assistance from Italian armies. Hence it is that really the whole of the Italian question, with respect to the European balance of power, or to the interests of France and England, consists in this, that the two greater Italian monarchies, strong in the re putation of honesty, with the consent of the people, by their civil institutions, may carry into effect a system of national policy. It is for Franco and England to weigh well and make choice of the means, as also of the changes to be introduced for attaining this end; nor is it for me to give advice, or to seek French and English examples in the histories of the Bourbons and the Stuarts.

On Sunday afternoon a large meeting was held en Heyhead-green, above Todmorden, for the purpose of congratulating Mr. John Frost on his arrival home, and presenting an address to him. About 150 yards from the road which skirts the common, a cart was placed for the speakers, and the number of people who assembled around it was variously estimated at from 15,000 to 25,000. Mr. J. ALDERSON was called to the chair, and opened the meeting by giving out a hymn, commencing " Great Gad, is this the patriot's doom !" He then made a few remarks, in which he deplored the absence of Feareus O'Connor and other persons, who had formerly taken a part in their movements—men who bad been honest, and had stuck to their principles in the face of persecution. They bad, however, the pleasure of having their tried fiend, Mr. John Frost, amongst them. (Hear.) Mr. SNOWDON, of Halifax, moved an address to Mr. Frost.

The address stated that be was partially acquainted with the state of public feeling in England in 1848, but that it was not the fears nor hosti lity of the middle classes that destroyed our movement at that time, but, as in 1839, the unseemly differences and angry squabbles of those who should have been una nimous and devoted to the people they professed to lead which broke us up and retarded the triumph of oar cause. When he was applied to in 1832 to become a member of the convention of that period, he pointed out to those who asked him the consequences that would follow with regard to the local power he then possessed. His appre hensions were realised, and he was struck off the com mission of the peace. But as it was urged that he might be of service to his country, he consented, from a sense of duty, to risk his position, and accordingly took his seat is the convention. Great, however, was his disap pointment ; for instead of meeting with men having their great cause in view, he found men anxious to destroy particular influences amongst themselves, and the majo rity was inefficient for good. After some further allusions to the policy of Chartists at the above period, Mr. Frost proceeded to describe the state of the penal colonies where he had been. He stated that they wr ra in a most wretched and abominable state in regard to Iw - reap. He narrated one case in particular, in reference to two youths who had been sent from Manchester, showing that a systematic effort was made by the elder _criminals to corrupt the younger ones, and declared that he would rather have sons of his own hanged at one' than that they should be sent toVan Diemen's Land. lie described scenes that had come under his own observation—cases in which he secreted himeelf, by orders, to detect such proceedings, which revealed the filthiest and lowest, state of moral feeling that any one could imagine. Mr. HOOSTAN, of Manchester, expressed his gratifica tion in seeing so large a meetint:-. He urged upon the people the necessity of joining associations to promote their object, and recommended that in towns and vil lages, where there are none at present, associations should be formed. He moved—" That this meeting is of opinion that the principles for which Mr. Frost bas suffered— viz., the People's Charter—aro the only principles cal culated to redeem the people, politically and socially, and that it pledges itself constantly to agitate the claims of the same, until it be adopt3d as the law of the land!' Mr. ERNEST JONES seconded the resolution, and said they should not only honour principle;, but the men who made their advocacy popular by their c )n&stency ofcon duct. He then advocated the propriety of drafting off people on the church lands and common lands for the purpose of diminishing the competition in the labour market, and exp:e sod an op . nion that agriculture was sacrificed to manufacturing interest; a wise policy would presume a wise medium. lizekelieved t'eere were lands sufficient, without the slightest confiscation, to effect this object. Ile did not approve of small farms, but rather co operative farms. By lessening the labour in towns wages would be raised, and the effects of foreign competition would be counts r*, , al,nre Iby cheapened provisions. He ed that a dissolution of Pnriiament was not very distant, and if ho should be returned as a member, as lie did not doubt be should, as well as his friend Mr. Frost, he wou'd pledge himself, by their co-operation, to effect their obj-et. A vote of than`is was then moved to the chairman, and carried. The address to Mr. Frog, printed in gold on green paper, wai exhibited to the meeting. The proceedings closed by making a collection, which am iunted to 71. 104.---Manchester Guardian. TREMENDOUS CONFtAGRATION AT LIMEHOUSE. A fire of considerable magnitude, and Attended wi.h a serious destruction of property, broke•ou'. last night about eight o'clock (and at midnight was far from leing entire'y extinguished) in a clump of bu llings ad joining what is termed the Kidney Stairs, or ferry, situate near Dowson's ship dock, at Limehouse. Tins fire was supposed to have originated from the spontaneous combustion of some oily cloth on the pre mises belonging to Mr. Gilbert, a sailcloth manufacturer, &c., whose proper t y was adjoined on either side by the Plough Tavern, belonging to Mr. Kimmaples, the iron works in the tenure of Mr. Kelsey, and several others. ()sing to the highly combustible nature of the stock in trade the flames spread with the rapidity of lightning, seizing upon the whole of the contents of the premises, when the conflagration assumed an appearance which can only be described as grand in the extreme, for out of every window and through the roof did the flames rush forth, illuminating every lofty object for many miles distant. This, as may be supposed, drew together many thousand spectators from most parts of the metropolis ; and it is necessary to state that had it not been for the services rendered by Mr. Howie, the superintendent, and Inspectors Holmes and Smith, with a powerful body of constables, a fearful loss of life must have taken place. The thoroughfares being extremely narrow, men, women, and children took up their positions on the different drawbti ;gee, and had it not been fur the timely aid of the police, who lifted children over the heads of the pcpu'ace, they most have been trodden on and killed. Every ship near the water's edge at this point was speedily filled with persons of both sexes, and one in Messrs, Dowson's dock canted go fearfully that it was apprehended it would capsize its living freight into the river. Fortunately, the occupants were persuaded to leave, and thereby a fearful sacrifice of human life was obviated. The tremendous light in the atmosphere caused a general turn-out of the engines to take place, and forth with Mr. Superintendent B:aidwood and Mr. Foga, his officer next in emmand, with a vast number of firemen and the en gines from Schoolhouse•lane, Wellclose-square, Jeffrey square, Watling-street, and Farringdon-street, arrived at the scene of conflagration, being followed by M r . Con norton with . the West of England engine and firemen. Numerous other engines, both private and also belong ing to the London Establishment, from the more distant depots, attended as quickly as poseible, including the steam-float from Rotherhithe. By that period the fire had seized upon two or three other establishinents, and there appeared every probe. bility of every house on both sides of the street becoming involved in the general wreck. The firemen, however, laboured in a most indefatigable manner, and ran no little owing tl the continued falling of walls and floors, but in spit of their exertions the fearful element laid hold of the Plough Tavern and some other premises. The buildings extending nearly to the water's edge, it was deemed prudent to remove the shipping and small craft away, which was done as soon as the tide ran up. At the time this account was written (12 o'clock at night) the flames were far from being extinguished, but we are happy to say that all further extension of mischief appeared over. The total loss, at a moderate calculation, must amount to many thousand pounds, but whether the sufferers were insured or not it was impossible to tell, owing to the great excitement which prevailed, and the vast crowds of persons who lined every approach to the spot, thereby preventing any one seeing the sufferers. It was stated that several persons had fallen into the river and had been drowned, but from the inquiries made by the reporter he ascertained that some five or six had been pushed into the dock, but that they were all rescued, and there seems no reason to apprehend that any one has been lost in consequence of the dis astrous event. Mr. Baddeley, the inspector of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, was also early in attend ance, and rendered great assistance, more especially to the West of England firemen. - - - The premises of Mr. Pritchard have escaped, it is un derstood, with trifling damage. Most of the sufferers were insured. A Glasgow paper reports that a patent has been granted for a discovery, whereby stone, after undergoing a certain process, may be converted into paper. The patentee is Mr. Edward Greealees, a marble cutter in Glasgow. THE LATE FLOUR SEIZURE AT WAKEFIELD.—QUERN V. JACIKSON.—The sanitary inspector of Wakefield has been served with a copy - of an Exchequer writ of sum mons, at the instance of Messrs. John Jackson and Sons, defendants in the late case of flour adulteration, for what they conceive to be the unlawful and improper seizure then made. The damages, as stated in the pre liminary notice of action, are laid at 2,0001. Steps will, we understand, at once be taken to defend the action, should it be preceeded Mowry. . 4 „ _ esterday Mr. R. B. Cane, one of the Poor-law In specters, opened an hiquiry at the workhouse, in Mary s . lebone, into a charge made against Mr. Ryan, the master of that establishment, and Charles-Brown and Matthew Green, two of the porters, of having assaulted and beaten with a cane and Whip three yonng women, named Mary Ann Sullivan, Elizabeth Edmonds, and Sophia Howard, pauper inmates there, The investiga tion was made in the boardroom, in the presence of the Hon. and Rev. J. T. Pelham, the rector of the parish, and a considerable- number of the guardians, by whom inquiry had been previously made into the truth of the allegation. The parties accused were also in attendance, and so far they have not denied the charge, but plead a justification or extenuation in the great provocation they received in tie 3 recusant and contumelious conduct and the grossly abusive and indecent language of the women on whom the violence was inflicted. 'Some of the lan guage, as imputed by Green to the witnesses under ex amination, but denied by them, was at one time so utterly shocking as to induce an appeal from the rector to the inspector to Save the ears of the audience from pollution. Mary Ann Sullivan, the first witness called, said she was 19 years of ale, and had been in the workhouse about three months. She was employed in the mash house and laundry, and classed with the girls sleeping in Mrs. Dawson's ward. About three weeks ago, on a Tuesday, about 1 o'clock in the day, she was employed in the workhouse yard cleaning round a box. The mas• ter asked her to remove the box, and she said she could not without assistance. The master replied, "You won't I suppoie," and went away. Shortly afterwards, • on the same day she was standing at the door of the chapel, when the master came and took her and another girl named Reynolds over to the men's Bide, and locked them up in separate refractory cells. This was about 1 o'clock. At 8 o'clock in the evening he came and took Reynolds out, and put witness into the cell she had occupied. About half-past 10 the same • evening the master returned alone, and opening her cell asked her gruffly to come out instantly. She replied all she wanted was a jug of water, as she was famish ing. Ile said, " You won't come out, then ?" She re plied, "N o , as I h ave stem d here all this time without anything to eat, I may as well stay all night." He then turned his head round and whittled, when Greets and Brown, the two porters, came, and Brown put his band in her hair, saying at the same time, Come out !" and dragged her along a yard, lentil he came to a dark core ner, when he began beating her with a cane in the pre sence of the master and Green. She caught hold of the cane with which Brown was beating her and refused to give it up, when the master, who had a whip in his hand, also began to beat her, He likewise called for Green's assistance, and he too beat her meet shamefully. She was on the ground above a quarter of an hour, and Brawn held her down by the hair of her head. Green then left to go to another girl, and witness was alone with the master and Brown. They took her to a watch box, and Brown again beat her cruelly. She cried for mercy, and asked him to leave go of her hair ; but the more she cried the more he pulled her hair. The master then ordered Brown to take her to her bedroom, and as she was - going there Brown beat her again, and the next stemming she went before the magistrate in the csmpany of a policeman, the magistrate having sent for her and two of the other girls in the house. The master struck her with a whip, but she could not say how many times. He struck her across the back and arms, and once across the face, where he brought blood, and it was very sore. She ought to have said that before that Green and Brown kicked her severely when she was on the ground, and there was a large bruise on her shoulder, and several other less ones over the back. She had all her-clothes on during the time. No blows were given her below the waist. The master never interfered to prevent either Green or Brown from striking her, nor did Green or Brown interfere when the roaster struck her. Th e s ki n was b ro k en on h er - back where she had been struck, and the place bled. Emma Barchell, another inmate, wiped the blood et her back with her (witness's) apron, and there was also blood on her chemise. Next• morning she showed the house surgeon her back. Before this happened she had not been at all well, though she was still at work. Mr. Ryan, the master, and Green, the porter, declined to ask the witness any questions, and she withdraw. Brown, Irons his own fault, was not present during her examination. Elizabeth Edmonds, another inmate in the workhouse, aged 19, depose] to having been beaten by Brown some five weeks ago, about 9 o'clock one Tuesday evening, in the women's yard. The master came and ordered her and tho rest of the girls to go to bed, but .they didsnot go when first asked to do so. She had sonwobread and a tin in *slate!, -and she asked liii7a•sto wait until she tool 'them into the ward. She and - another gir), Bur chellf gbt up and were going t 6 the ward, when the mas ter ran after them and whietied,,and Green and Brown came • came directly. Sh e h a d h eat d. great screaming, ande'ran to see what was the matter. Green had hold of alittle girl named English behind a dooneand was shaliirig her. lie had a cane in his hand, which he held .urr, but did not strike her. Frown then se* witness, "and caught hold of her, saying, " Now, you I have caught you, and I'll let you have it." He took hold of her by the • jacket, and, after a struggle, threw her down and beat her several times with a cane across the back. She bad all her clothes on when Brown struck her. Ho struck ~her as low 43 her waist, but not lower. Her skin was not broken, but it was waled in several places, one of which on her shoulders she could see herself. Aheehowed her back next morniag to the house surgeon, who said tie would iyeak to the master about it. The master was in the yr.rd outside the door when Brown struck her, but she could not say he was present. Grecn was inside he door all the time, but said or did nothing to prevent Brown heating her, By the Master—Emma Burchell washed her (wit ness's back with vinegar before the surgeon saw it. She did so because it was painful, and the had to go to her work next morning. By Brown —She did not say to the master on the night in question Ehe would see him before she would go to bed. She was not one of the girlewho some time ago was refused admission into the chapel by Mr. Moody, the chaplain, for disgraceful behaviour. She never went near the chapel. (A laugh.) She had been three times in prison,. twice for inieceeduct in this house, and once for an assault on the matron, about 18 months ago. She denied laving struck him (Brown) on the night in ques tion, alleging that she never bad the chance, as he had her down, and was thrashing her with the cane. Sophie Howard, also an inmate of the workhouse, aged 18, spoke to Mr. Ily-an, her roaster, throwing her down and shaking her on the same night, aed afterwards giving Green or Brown (she could not say which) a .;hill= to Etch a cave, with which Green, at a later period of the evening, on her refusing to leave the refractory cell, where she had been a short time confined, "slashed" her several times across the face and back, Mrs. Parker, the assistant matron, holding her round the neck while he did so. She admitted giving Mr. Ryan a kick on that occasion, but not before Le threw her down. In cross•examination by Green, she emphatically denied using certain opprobrious and grossly indecent language which he imputed to her, on his going to the cell and ask ing her to come out and give him no further trouble. Charlotte Garrol, a female searcher at the Maryle bone police•office, deposed that at the request of the ma gistrete there she examined the persons of the three women, Sullivan, Edmonds, and Howard. Howard was marked very much about the Lack and face as from a cane, but the akin was not broken. Sullivan was cut across the loins, and had also marks upon her chin, which she said were caused by blows. There was,, no blood upon her clothes, but the marks were very red. Edmonds had also been beaten across .the shoulders and down the back in much the saute way. There was a serious bruise on.the shoulders of one of the girls, but she did not know which of them it was. Ednionde ap peared to have been beaten more than the other two. Seine of the marks must have been caused by heavy blows. Emma Burchell and Mary Ann Lynch, two young women, inmates of tho house, corroborated much ►►f tho evidence of Sullivan, EdmondP, and Howard. On cross examination they admitted having been in pri on, Lynch once and Burchell several times, for breaches of diici pike in the house. The inquiry was at this point adjourned.
