MASON JONES. Burton House, Walham Green, Fulham, December 31, 1860. MY DEAR SlR,—The Secretary of the Garibaldi Fund Committee kindly communicated to me yours of the 22d to him. I feel I must write a few words of sincere thanks for the activity you display in behalf of our national cause; and I venture to do it to yourself directly to avoid loss of time. You have been doing much for us and speaking truth fear lessly ; you have accordingly succeeded, showing in England a natural tendency to fair play, which will always in the end win the day for honest truth bravely told. Should you meet with serious objections, I am ready, whilst I am in England, to furnish you with all explanations and facts which you may wish for. Meanwhile, I ell your country men to mistrust any information reaching them through the columns of the Times and Daily N ews , concerning the state of things in Italy ; they are written by men, mostly, I regret to say, Italians, who, like Gallenza, Ariva Bene, and such like, are , actuated either by low personal motives, or irritated because they feel themselves despised. Tell them that, whenever they hear of Red Republican agita tion, of anarchy systematically aimed at, of oppo sition to the Sardinian Monarchy organised by us, they simply hear lies ! And we have facts to oppose. We exerted ourselves prominently for the annexa tion of Central Italy, in opposition to Bonapartist intrigue, we initiated the Sicilian insurrection, without which there would have been no field open to Garibaldi for the emancipation of „the South,: in - the name of One Italy •and 'Vidor Emmanuel, we sent all our young mekto although we knew him to be pledged to the king. We publish daily our views in the Popolo D' Balm in Naples, in the Unita, in the Dritto at Turin, and any one who can, ought to judge by these facts and publications. We want One Italy, free and independent from all foreign masters, we accepted from the mani fested wish of the majority of our people a consti tutional monarchy, if that monarchy helps in build ing up the unity and liberty of our nation. We promised a give to monarchy a fair trial, reserving merely to ourselves the right of peacefully and legally expressing, once the unity of Italy achieved, our own opinions. _ _ _ _ THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JAN UARY 5, 1861.

S. li - rent, deputy-coroner for West Middlesex, attended at the George, Dudley street, Seven-dials, for the purpose of investigating the cause of death in three cases in which the de ceased were found dead, such deaths being supposed to have been produced or accelerated by the severity of the weather. " It Is a real treat to see a volume so rich in beauty as this —a volume in which the sister arts of poetry and painting are so fitly represented ; and, therefore, is cannot be too strongly or too cordially recommended to all who love both, and who delight to witness them in such happy combination." — Observer. Mr. Blake—You felt it your duty, as their par. tor, to prevent, to the best of your power, the fur ther attendance of the children ? Mr. Lavelle—Of course I did. Mr. Blake—And, in point of fact, you succeeded in emptying the schools ? Mr. Lavelle—Yes, they are emptied. Mr. Blake--You heard Lord Plunket swear here, just now, that in the recent ejectments his only aim was to stripe the land. Now, to your knowledge, is the land out of which the poor people have been evicted already striped ? Mr. Lavelle—All the land has been long since striped, except two holdings (objected to by the chairman as being irrelevant to the issue). Mr. Lavelle (to the barrister)—Your worship, Lord Plunket has made a statement inculpating me, and justly so, if true, that I " acted as land lord" on his property. Now, your worship, I think it is only justice, or at least equity (and this is as much a court of equity es of justice)— • The Barrister (good humouredly)-ob, no, it is not a court of equity. Mr. Lavelle—Well, your worship, when there is no equity, there cannot be justice ; but putting aside technicalities, your worship, I think it only fair I should explain what Lord Plunket alludes to, and puts down as a crime against me. (The barrister nodded assent.) Well, your worship, the thing oc -1 curred thus : Some time in Oct., 1858, a large party, consisting of some members of his lordship's family, whom I do not wish to name, with the agent here present, end others, collected a number of the ten ants one day at the schoolhouse, and required them each separately to send their children to the school. The tenants refused, and were on the spot told they would be evicted. In a few days after the same mem bers of his lordship's family, with the same agent, came into the village, again assembled the tenants, and again demanded the children on pain of evic tion. They were again refused, whereupon they, on the spot, ordered the agent to come next day and take possession of the land, for. that Lord Plunket would have no tenants wno would not send their children to school. Next day the agent did cone, and demanded possession according to the threat, and I advised tne people to refuse—a thing I would do again to-morrow under similar circum stances. By order of the Directors. WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary. " It is not necessary to say more to guarantee the complete ness of the work, and we show our appreciation of its merits by transferring three of the illustrations to our columns." — Illustrated London News. The first case was that of Margaret Condon, aged 46, a, charwoman, who lived with her brother, at 38, Crown-street. She was an inveterate drunkard, and for th e p urpose of sat i sfy i ng her mor bi d appe tite, sold the clothes from her back and the shoes from her feet. Du r i ng th e co ld weat h er s h e was attacked with a cough and bronchial affection, and on the 24th ult. was removed to the St. Giles's Workhouse, but on her arrival there she was found dead in the chair. Mr. H. Bennett, the infirmary surgeon, made a post-mortem examination, and found death to have been the result of congestion of the lungs and brain andinflammation of the bronchial tubes. She had been a victim to intem perance, accelerated by the cold weather. Verdict —" Death from natural causes." The second case was that of a remarkably fine child, named Geo. J. Brown, aged two months, the son of rPßppotabin pt.npla living at 14 Great,St- Andrew-street. This was a death from suffocation, arising from the natural desire of the mother to pro tect her child from the cold while lying in bed. The child was on the mother's arm, under the bedclothes, and thus became smothered. The mother was deeply affected, and begged the jury to free her from any intentional act of cruelty. Verdict—" Death from suffocation by misfortune." The third inquiry was on the body of James Holloway, aged 82, who was found dead on the floor of his apartment. The deceased, it appeared, had for several years been a lodger at the George public-house, and was very abstemious and respect ably connected. On the 26th ult. he complained of the severely cold weather, and Mr. Mace, the land land, provided him with something warm, when the deceased retired to his room. Subsequently Mrs. Mace took him up some warm food, when she found him extended on the floor dead, apparently as though he h9d fallen from I.is chair. The post mortem examination proved that death was pro duced by congestion of the lungs and brain, as also by diseased dilation of the heart. The cold weather no doubt accelerated death. Verdict, "Death from natural causes." PURSUANT to an O r d er o f th e Hi g h C ourt of Chancery, made in the matter of the Estate of John Milne, late of Prior -street, Greenwich, in the county of Kent, gentleman, deceased—Persons claiming Debts or labilities affecting the Estat e o f the above-named John Milne., who was formerly a merchant's clerk in the city of London, and died in or about th e month of May, 1860, are required to enter their names and addresses, and the particulars of their debts or claims, on or before the 14th day of January, 1861, in the Claims book at the Chambers of the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Richard Torin Kindersley, No. 3, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's 'inn, in the county of Middlesex, without making any affida vit in support thereof ; and give notice thereof to Mr. Alfred 'William Smith, of Cooper's-hall, No. 71, Basi ng h a ll- street, in the cit y of London, the Solicitor concerned in the said matter; and if so required by notice in writing from the said Mr. Smith are, by their Solicitors, to come in and prove their said debts or claims at the Chambers aforesaid, at such time as shall be specified in such notice; or, in default thereof, said Order.

The Edgar, 91, screw steamer, Captain James Katon, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral J. E. Erskine, also bent sails yesterday in Portsmouth harbour, and on Mondayjoins the fleet at Spithead. The Stork gunboat, tender to her Majesty's steamer Excellent, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday with a ship's pinnace in tow, and proceeded off into deep water, where practice was made from a gvn with two de scriptions of carriages, mounted in the boat, for the purpose of testing their suitability for carrying the rifled gun on boat service. The experiments are expected to be resumed. The following steam vessels commissioned at Woolwich are ordered to return to that dockyard to be paid off :- Ardent, Commander Parish, South-east Coast of America; Niger, Captain Cracroft, Australia; Triton, Commander Burton, Africa; Lyra, Commander Oldfield,Cape of Good Hope; Vixen, Commander Richards; Spitfire, Comman der Allinghara ; and Jasper, Commander Pym. The St. George, 91, screw, Captaia Hon. F. Egerton, arrived at Spaneau yesterday - rrom cround. This makes a force of three lino-of-battle ships and a frigate of the most powerful class. Six new gunboats have been ordered to be built underneath the sheds at the gunboat yard, Haslar. The keels of two of them are already laid, and a portion of their frame in position. The remaining four will be laid down imme diately the blocks have been prepared for them. They will be fitted with condensing engines of 60-horse power, and be of an improved form as compared with the class now under Haslar sheds, and which gained such unenviable notoriety. The following will be their principal dimen sions:-Length between the perpendiculars, 120 feet; length of keel for tonnage, 105 feet 7/ inches ; extreme breadth, 22 feet; breadth for tonnage, 21 feet 10 inches ; breadth, moulded, 21 feet 4 inches; depth in hold, 9 feet 6 inches ; burden in tons, 267 82-94. It appears from the last official return, recently published, that there are at present being built in the various dock yards for her Majesty's Government 43 vessels of war, car rying from 1 to 91 guns respectively, and each of from 80 to 1,250 horse-power, viz., Eleven at Pembroke-the Aurora, 51 guns, the Defiance, 91, the Nassau, 4, the Newport, 5, the Pandora, 1, the Perseus, 17, the Shearwater, 11, the Tartarus, 4, the Triumph, 91, the Tweed, 51, and the Zealous, 91; seven at Woolwich-the Alligator, 22, the Bristol, 51, Caledonia, 91, the Dartmouth, 36, the Repulse, 91, the Sylvia, 4, and the Wolverine, 21; six at Chatham the Belvidera, 51, the Bulwark, 91, the Myrmidon, 4, the Rattlesnake, 21, the Reindeer, 17, and the Royal Oak, 91; five at Deptford-the Columbine, 11, tho Endymion, 36, the Favourite, 22, the Rattler, 17, and the Speedwell, 5 ; four at Devonport-the Africa, 11, the Teter, 36, the Ocean, 91, and the Robust, 91; four at Portsmouth-the Chan ticleer, 17, the Dryad, 51, the Glasgow, 61, and the Royal Alfred, 91; at Millwall, the Lily, 4; at Glasgow, the Black Prince, 36; at Jarrow, Newcastle-on-Tyne, the Defence, 22; at Sheerness, the North Star, 22 ; at Poplar, the Resistance, 16 ; and at Newhaven, the Tyrian.gunboat.

Petley, sailed from Woolwich yesterday at 3 p.m. for Ostend, under telegraphic orders from the Admiralty, to embark his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on his return to Osborne, prepara tory to joining his ship the St. George, 90 guns, Capt. the Hon. Francis Egerton, at Spithead. Capt. Alfred P. Ryder is appointed to her Majesty's ship Hero, vice Capt. George H. Seymour, C. 8., who is super seded at his own request. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Richard S. Dundas, K.C.8., has returned to town from Viscount Melville's seat in Scot land, and has resumed his duties at the Admiralty. Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, M.P., First Secre tary of the Admiralty, has returned to his official residence at the Admiralty from Wales. TIE ARIIII. Orders have been issued by the military authorities at Portsmouth to discontinue for the future all shot and shell practice from the 6 and 8 inch guns of the auxiliary battery at the east end of Stokes-bay. This order has been given in consequence of a nearly spent shot having glanced off the surface of the water from its true course, and struck the Emerald, Southampton passenger steamer, a rather sharp blow on the port quarter, doing it considerable da mage, but luckily striking no one board . The targets were laid out in nearly a direct lino between the battery and Ityde pier, and considerable traffic in sailing vessels and steamboats was continually crossing the line of fire, so that it was almost marvellous that accidents have not occurred before. The greatest danger has arisen from the fragments of exploded shell, of which no skill in gunnery could fore tell their ultimate destination. A public mess dinner was given last night at the [Loyal Marine quarters, Woolwich, by the officers of the division, to take leave of Major-General Stransham, late com. mandant, on his promotion and retirement from the com mand. The whale of the officers off duty were present, and a number of congratulatory toasts were drunk in compliment to their late and present commandants. Colonel Campbell, who has succeeded to the command of the division of Royal Marines at Woolwich, has issued an order relieving the office clerks of his departments from their official duties from Saturday evening until Monday morning, the attendance at the office having been hitherto exacted during the entire Sunday with the same punctuality as ou other days of the week, Bishop—Well, I believe Rot. Mr. Griffin—Ha, I thought so, my lord; and so be is a most wicked character. Come, my lord, by the virtue of your solemn oath. had he sent his chil dren to the schools would he have been ever evicted, or would those unfortunate creatures, whose cries and lamentations still ring in our horrified ears, and vibrate through our frames—would they, my lord, be now outcasts had they sent their children to these proselytising schools ? Come now. Bishop—Well, I solemnly swear that I never di rectly or indirectly, interfered with the religion of the tenants ; but my sole object was to stripe the land, and to prevent the interference of Mr. Lavelle, who was acting as landlord. (Fearful sensation.) Mr. Griffin—Oh ! you never interfered, directly or indirectly. What, then, means the establishment of these schools at all ? What means so many Scrip ture readers, and lads of that kind ? What means those constant visits amongst the tenantry, the threats of eviction, the breaking of doors, the hid- ing of parents ? Is all this "non-interference ?" But you say, my lord, that your object was to stripe the land ? Bishop—Yes. Here Mr. Griffin took what he called his printed brief, and began to read out the names of the evicted tenants whose land was already striped, but he was interrupted. Mr. Griffin—Well, my lord, you say it was all for striping the land, but on looking over this printed list (Mr. Lavelle's pamphlet), I find the land of every single person is striped, but that of two. How, then, could the object be to stripe the land ?—No answer. _ _ Mr. Griffin—Really, this is something extraordi nary. Well, my lord, you see the Rev. Mr. Lavelle here • I darn Amy you have pa pagieular affection for Bishop—Well, I have no great reason. (Laughter.) Mr. Griffin—No • he has exposed to an indignant world the vile workings of proselytism, and canting, and soul-jobbing carried on in Partry. I believe I am correct in stating that on his arrival in the parish these cherished schools of yours were fall up of children. Bishop—Yes ; I believe there was a very large number in attendance there. _ _ _ Mr, Griffin—Has that number decreased since ? Bishop—Well, yes. Mr. Griffin—Now, my lord, by the virtue of your oath, has not this numerous attendance of the young Papist children of your tenantry dwindled down to the insignificant number of three—namely, the master, the mistress, and the Tourmakeady piggery-boy ? (Shouts of laughter.)—No answer. Mr. Griffin—Come now, my lord, is not that a fact that the master, the mistress, and the piggery boy make up the sum total of attendance this day at those schools ? Bishop—Really, I don't know. Mr. Griffin—You don't know ! Why, do you mean, my lord, to imply that during your two years' absence from Partry land you never made any in quiries about the progress of these schools ? Bishop—Well, really, I don't know. Mr. Griffin—l take it then as a fact that things are as I say; and no wonder therefore that you should cherish no feeling of special predilection for my rev. client. But, my lord, you said you did not interfere directly or indirectly with the religion of your tenants—that you did not force them to send their children to your schools—that word " force" is rather strong, and sounds badly. But did you ever impress your " earnest desire" on the parents that the children should go to your schools ? And did you impress this " earnest desire" upon them at every opportunity ? Bishop (warmly)—l did, and will continue to do so. (Fearful sensation in court.) Mr. Griffin—You, a landlord of tenants-at-will, impress your "earnest desire" upon them that they should send their little ones to these proselytising schools. Bishop—l did, and I will. (Renewed sensation.) Mr. Griffin—Schools in which the Protestant religion is taught to those children. Good heavens! do I hear aright ? Are they not what are called " Irish Church Mission Schools ?" And is it to these schools that you would impressupon your tenantry at every opportunity your " earnest desire" of send ing their unfortunate children ? t, Bishop—Yes ; the Bible is read in them. Mr. Griffin—Oh, my lord, this is fearful. Every word of this will ring through the Times, and your lordship has got into the Times already. Do you perceive any real difference, my lord, between the " earnest desire" of a landlord, such as your lord ship, " impressed" as it has been on his tenantry, and the most positive command ? Bishop—No, it is no command. Mr. Griffin—Oh no, not in words. But, my lord, I think, and evade it as you will, every right-minded man breathing will pronounce it nothing less than a most stringent command. How would you like yourself, my lord, that one who had power of life and death over you, would impress such an earnest desire on you to bring up your children in the abominations of Popery ? This is really fearful. Above all when you bear in mind what agencies carried out this earnest desire. But, my lord, as you talk of the Bible, may I ask are you wellversed in the writings of Chillingworth ? (Great merri ment.) No answer. Mr. Griffin—Does he not define the Protestant religion to be the Bible ? (Continued laughter.) Here the learned barrister interfered, as Chilling worth had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Griffin—Your worship, sure I only wanted to show, from his own admissions, that in these schools were the young Papists of Partry crammed down with the Protestant religion, which the illus trious divine has defined in one word to be nothing more nor less than the Bible. (Roars of laughter.) Well, sir, as I'll not be allowed to invoke Chilling worth, of course there can be no , objection to St. Paul. (Taking up the Bible ; again roars of laugh ter.) Here now, my lord, in St. Paul to Timothy, First Epistle, c. iii., and again to Titus—(great laughter)—we find a description of what a good bishop ought to be. I now beg to read the pas ' sages, and to apply the marks to your lordship, with all due respect of course. (Objected to amid peals of laughter.) Well, my lord, at any rate, St. Paul, if he lived, would not be turning the people out in the snow—people that owed no rent, and merely asked leave to live, but would not gratify that earnest desire of your lordship, and bring up their children in your faith, according to the dog mas of the infallible Dish. Church Mission Society. This closed his lordship's examination, which After a few words in reference to the period of Mr. Lavelle's giving up the house to Lally, the case closed. Decrees were, of course, obtained against the unfortunate creatures. The case nilled as against Mr. Lavelle. DISGRACEFUL GAME LAW PROSE- CETTION. At the Cirencester Petty Sessions, a few days since—the magistrates present being the Rev. Henry Cripps (chairman), and Messrs. Cripps, Morris, and Hartland—Thomas Hall, a simple looking countryman, who appeared bordering on starvation, and whose clothes hung about him in rags, was brought up in custody, charged with being in pursuit of game in the preserves of Earl Bathurst. The information was laid by King, the head gamekeeper to Lord Bathurst, and he called a wit ness, who deposed that he met the prisoner at 12 o'clock at night, and went with him - through the woods in search of pheasants. Saw him shoot at a bird which was roosting in a tree. He struck it but did not kill it. He flied several shots at it but with the same result. Prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said he was - in btu ii... i.r.--vvt-cugu on the night in question, that the last witness Jame and knocked him up, and asked him to go with him and shoot a pheasant, adding that he was very " hard up," and that ho had shot a hare the evening before, and sold it for 2s. 6d. in Cirencester, and if prisoner would come and shoot him a pheasant, he would be very glad. Witness was a stranger to him, and he had never seen him before. He (prisoner) had no gun,' but the witness produced a gun and loaded it and as they were going along the witness pointed to a pheasant in one of the trees and asked him to shoot it. He shot, but did not hit it, and the witness loaded the gun three or four times for him (pri soner) to fire, but he killed nothing. He should not have thought of going out if the witness had not called him up and brought the gun and loaded it for him. The Chairman said the bench considered the case proved. The prisoner admitted that he shot at the pheasants. He had been convicted for poaching in 1858, and the sentence now was that he be committed to prison for three months, and at the expiration of that time find sureties for Ihis good behaviour for a further period of six months. The prisoner was again charged with a similar offence in shooting a rabbit in Lord Bathurst's preserves. King, the gamekeeper, deposed that on Sunday afternoon he saw the prisoner and another man going along one of the drives. They appeared as though they were looking for game, but they NN ere too far off for him to see whether they had a gun or not; Mr. Morris inquired how it was the other man was not included in the charge. King replied that the other man was his witness. The same witness was called again in corro boration. He stated that he went along with the prisoner by. the side of the hedge and pointed him out a rabbit ; the prisoner allot at it and killed it, and afterwards put it in his pocket and went away with it. _ _ Prisoner, in his defence, declared that ho only went out at the particular request of the man who now appeared against him as a witness ; that the witness pointed out the rabbit, which he shot, and that the witness himself put it into his pocket and carried it away. He (prisoner) never touched it at all. The magistrates were consulting on the ease, when Mr. William Boodle, who happened to be in court on another case, asked to be allowed to say a few words. He did not speak as en attorney, but as an Englishman, and he thought any man with English feeling must feel indignant at the manner in which this poor starving wretch had been trapped into crime. This witness had been brought from a distant part of the country to tempt this poor man ; he had basely lent himself to the pur pose ; he had called the poor fellow out of bed, begged as a favour that he would go with him, had himself produced the gun and ammunition, and was in fact the prime instigator of the offence with which the prisoner was charged. Ho (Mr. Boodle) had heped that the system pursued. by Jonathan Wild, of first making men thieves and then taking blood-money for their apprehension, had been extinct in this country since that worthy was executed. But he was sorry to find it was not so. Mr. Boodle then asked the witness if he had a license, and witness said " No." He then asked him for his address ; but Mr. Bevir, the magistrates' clerk, told him not to answer the question. Mr. Boodle said what he had got out was quite enough. The witness admitted having shot a hare, and being present when the prisoner shot the pheasant and the rabbit, and for each of these acts, not having a license, he was liable to a penalty of £2O. He (Mr. Boodle) would turn common infor mer to enforce these penalties if nobody else would. Mr. Boodle then formally applied for an infor mation against the witness. The witness refused to give his address, but ad mitted that he had been brought up from a distant part of the country for the express purpose of catch ing men as he had caught the prisoner. An officer of Inland Revenue, who happened to be present, backed Mr. Boodle's application, and said he should certainly bring the matter under the notice of the commissioners. Mr. Boodle said ho would lay the information himself, and the revenue officer might have the whole of the penalties, or they might be given to objects of charity, or laid out for the benefit of the poor victim of this man's base conduct. After what had passed, the magistrates refused to convict in the second case, and so great was the excitement against the witness by the parties in • court that he had to he taken under the protection of the police, and let out through a side door. L Mr. Boodle paid be had never witnessed ouch dis- Mr. Hine, the summoning officer, said he had two other notices to forward to the coroner, the one being that of a man between 30 and 40 years of age, who was on the previous day found dead in a lodging-house in Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, while sitting in the kitchen with his arms resting on the table. The second case was that of a poor man who fell suddenly dead in a public-house in Moor-street, Soho. The proceedings then closed. A WRVS HEAD SHOT OFF: An accident of a fatal nature occurred at Halli well, near Bolton, on Wednesday, which has thrown quite a gloom over the neighbourhood, 'and plunged two families into deep sorrow. It appears that a man named Henry Ro-tron, a stone cutter, residing in that town, was in the habit of amusing himself by shooting sparrows, and for this purpose he had the barrel of a fowling-piece with a stock resembling the head of a walking stick. On Christmas-day Rostron loaded the barrel with twenty pellets, and was going out to shoot, when a neighbour came to see him about a horse. He immediately placed the gun on a chest of drawers in the kitchen and went out. At the same time, it had a cap on the nipple, which was afterwards taken off by a young man named John Parker, mho lon g ed in the house. The loaded h.rrca then place=d in fie corner of the kitchen. It remained there un'il noon on Wednesday. On that day a young man named Thomas Ellam, about eighteen years of age, a factory operative, and nephew of Rostron, entered the house. While be wrs there Mrs. Rostron went out to get some• thing from a neighbouring shop, and left Ellam reading a newspaper by the fireside. There were also left in the same room a little girl, Mary Eliza beth Rostron, who was about four years old, and an infant in a cradle. The girl was looking at an alenanack when the mother went out. As soon as the mother had turned her back, Ellam took up the barrel of the gun, and commenced snapping the lock. After doing this twice the gun exploded, and carried away the upper portion of the girl's head, killing her on the spot. On seeing the frightful result of the explosion, Ellam ran out of the house to his own home. Ellam's parents were both in, and were very much alarmed at his cries. Some time elapsed before he was able to speak, and then he exclaimed, " Oh, I've killed little Polly." The father immediately proceeded to the house of Rostron, and found deceased lying on the floor, before the fire, in a pool of blood, and scarcely recognisable. irhat made the accident wear at first a serious complexion, was the fact that on Tuesday when Ellam was in the house he took up the gun, and Mrs. Rostron immediately told him to put it down because it was loaded, and he imme diately replaced it in the corner. An inquest on the deceased was held on Thursday, at the Crofter's Arms, before Mr. Rutter, when the facts of the case were fully investigated, and a verdict of "Acciden tally shot" was returned. Ellam bears a very good character, and was a great favourite in the house of his uncle. THE WEATHER AND THE PARIS. An immense multitude of persons, including many women and children, with a great number of the Coldstreams and Scots Fusilier Guards, visited the various parks for the purpose of enjoying the exhilarating exercise of skating or sliding. The appearance of the various groups, mingled as they were with a sprinkling of the fair sex, had a very picturesque effect. The promenades of th© different parks and the carriage drives were completely crowded with members of the nobility and gentry; for the purpose of witnessing the scientific evolu tions of the persons who disported themselves upon the ice in the various parks. The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's Receiving House in Hyde Park during Thursday night was as low as 23 deg., being 9 deg. below freezing point. At nine a.m. it rose to 26 deg., being still 6 deg. below freezingpoint ; and at noon, whilst the sun was shining through the fog, the mercury only ascended to 29 deg., showing that there were three degrees of frost overhanging the metropolis.l At six o'clock last:evening the ther mometer had risen to 31 deg., an indication that the frost was likely to break up, especially as the barometer stood during the day at 30.24 deg., and the wind being N.E. Several accidents took place, and had it not been for the active exertions of Mr. Superintendent Williams, loss of life would have occurred. During yesterday 7,000 sliders and skaters ven tured upon the frozen surface of the river, and amongst the number eight persons had their heads severely cut by falling upon the ice, and one gen tleman had the flesh torn off his fingers by falling upon the ice in front of a skater. At a late hoar last night skating was carried. on with fall vigour by torchlight on the Serpentine. skate T he The Long Water in Kensington-gardens. was pa tronised by 3,000 sliders and many members of the Skating Club. The Round Pond had 800 gentlemen, but . no accident of any importance occurred. The ice in St. James Park is pronounced to be tolerably firm and safe, but a few slight immersons occurred, and 2,500 persons ven tured upon the ice. T he Regent's Park had over 10,000 persons on the !co during the day, The ice hero is four inches thick.

We cannot have One Italy without Rome ; and we have been officially told that it would be madness and ingratitude to attack Louis Napoleon's policy there. The Sardinian Govern ment have not found, within 11 years, one single word to utter against the occupation ; and they are now opposing through their press our petition iig it. We cannot have One Italy without our availing ourselves of all the energies of our popu lation led by such men as Garibaldi ; and our Volunteers are dissolved, our appeals for a general military organisation are systematically checked ; Garibaldi is ungratefully treated, dispossessed of all power, and. driven in bitterness to Caprera. We cannot summon up all the energies of our people and put down reaction without proving to the people that the change is beneficial to them, and nothing is done towards that ; any suggestion of ours is thrown back in distrust; every attempt at organ ising liberty is fought against, and even the sing ing of Garibaldi's hymn is forbidden ; and men known like Nunziante as ready to sell themselves to the King of Naples, to Victor Emmanuel, to Murat, or Prince Napoleon, are placed again at the head of our regular divisions. We want to emancipate ourselves from the over whelming influence of Louis Napoleon. We know his past intrigues in Central Italy, his present in trigues in Southern Italy, his decided opposition to Italian unity, his dreams of a confederation with the Pope—whom he holds under subjection—as honorary president, his longing towards turning the Mediterranean into a French lake, his inter ference, now strengthened and widened in Rome, his interference at Gaeta, his theory of territorial compensations, his usurpation of Nice and'. Savoy, his actual active propagandism in Sardinia, his attempts to do the same in the Genoese Riviera, his compact with Cavour at Plombiers, his moi:e recent secret com act with him at Aix in Savoy--and we iiiow a UN7CftlirlaT nuL - prutEstra against the Gaeta interference, and that he is paving the way to the Napoleonic schemes by trying to have him again in Italy as an ally in the future unavoidable Venetian War. We want to Italianisc Piedmont, to have a national compact harmonising the rights, wants, and interests of all the Italian provinces ; and Cavour wants to annex Italy to Piedmont, to give to Italy Piedmontese laws, and a compact which was, for the sake of avoiding insurre ction, granted twelve years ago, after twelve hours' deli beration, to the Piedmontese populations by Charles Albert. These, only these, are our grounds of dissent from Cavour, and •it is astonishing to me how they can be misinterpreted or abused as anarchical in England. Are you not free ? are you not wanting us to be one ? are you not antagonistic as muck as we are to Bonapartist usurpations ? Of course anything you will do towards helping Garibaldi—when fighting for Venice or Rome— with arms and money has my complete assent and warm support. England has helped the emanci pation.of the South ; I do not see why she should not do the same for Venice and Rome. The 'As solving of the Garibaldi Fund Committees seems to me inconsistent and illogical. But you ought at the same time not to neglect another agitation—the agitation we are now initi ating in Italy for the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome. That is the vital point for us. Rome is now the focus of all our reactionary in trigues, and it is a base of operations for Louis Napoleon towards the South, whilst his keeping Rome in his hands suppresses any possibility of unity for our country. It is, I think, high time for England to see that the promises given in 1849 of a speedy withdrawal are at last realised ; that the non-interference principle shall not be an empty word, but a fact. Could you not suggest that petitions should be raised for that object to your Parliament and Government ? Forgive this lengthy epistle, written currents calanzo, and believe me, my dear sir, ever yours gratefully, JOSEPH MAIIINI. Mason Jones, Esq. 2HE SUSPECTED .MURDE.R NEAR NOTTINGHAM. On Christmas-day morning Samuel White, the horsekeeper to Mr. Greaves, of the Rutland Arms Inn, Bakewell, on going to his stable found a female dead in one of the stalls, six horses being in the place. She could not have been frozen to death there, though the night Nyas severe. Information was given to the pol, and a surgeon called in by Superintendent R ust . tee The body was removed to the ion, and the coroner take e coroner sent for. A strict investigation will a nion, that this female but t from foul usage. place, as no doubt remains has been violated and obtained which it is ddetaiedined at the Bakewell Two navvies have been lock-up, and a cluehapsai hoped will bring this 13 1 e f painful n l case sed in the town h this to light. Great ti ersons thinking this throu fema g le had s s e a n d s a a ffa o i n has been cau affair, many p been brutally used and murdered, An inquest was held on Thursday, before Mr. W. Bennett, the coroner for the High Peak, when some strange re velations were made, implicating five or six men living in Bakewell in a very serious charge. The evidence against them being very meagre, the in quest was adjo urne d, i n or d er t o g i ve ti me f or th e police to thoroughly investigate the case. From the medical evidence of Mr. Walters, surgeon, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, Superintendent Rust as to the state he found the body, and other collateral evidence, no doubt re mains as to the brutality shown to this poor crea ture. Acting Sergeant Holmes proved her name as given to him when she applied for a vagrant relief ticket, as Mary Ann Wilson, lately coming from Chesterfield, but of the Potteries, being a mar ried woman, seeking her husband, working in the linie-kilns at Longstone or Buxton. On Friday a special meeting of the magistrates was held at the Town-hall, by Mr. R. W. M. Nesfield and Mr. William Allcard, when Superintendent Rust laid before them a statement of the case and the attend ance of Mr. Walters, surgeon, proving beyond doubt the violence, and an information was laid against some suspected persons who could be shown to have been at and near this stable, and the per sons, together with one remanded, have been in the custody of Superintendent Rust, and are now await ing further examination. The case will be thoroughly sifted by the coroner's jury and the magistrates— there being strong presumptive evidence against the men in custody. At present the names of these men remanded are withheld, five of them are Bake well persons, one being a navvy.—Nottiv hara Journal.
