MONEY MARKET AND CITY _NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Owing to the preparations in progress for the commercial engagements arriving at maturity on the 4th, the demand for money has increased, and 31 to 3 - 7, per cent. are now the current terms for the negotiation of good mercantile securities. A large supply of gold, viz., £140,000, was pur chased by the Bank authorities yesterday. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, in most instances, exhibit©d a slight advance. Gold is now about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and 2.loths higher here than in Hamburg. Increased dullness prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were rather lower. The sales were only 8,000 bales. The receipts of the Dutch Rhenish Railway for the fortnight, ending the 15th ult., amounted to £9,208, against £8,600 in the corresponding period of last year. The Tagus, from the Peninsula, brings £2,250 in specie. There is a falling off of about £2,500 in the traffic receipts of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway for the past week. A call of L 2 10s. per share became due to-day on the Cork and Kinsale Junction Railway New £lO shares. The Seine, which left to-day for the West Indies, took out £7,980 in gold and £4,609 in silver. The directors of the Bank of France have again advanced their rate of discount 2 per cent., viz., to 6 per cent., and the measure has naturally excited much discussion in financial circles. The move ment, it is thought, will lead to the exportation of gold to Paris, and ultimately tend to produce an advance in the value of money in this country. On the Great Western Railway of Canada the traffic receipts for the week ending the 20th ult. amounted to £8,320, being a decrease of £9,403 compared with the corresponding period last year, which, however, was at the time of the agricultural exhibition and the Prince of Wales' visit. At the close of business yesterday afternoon the Funds were at a decline of -7- per cent., and although rather less depression is perceptible to-day, very little recovery has taken place, Consols being 921 I for transfer, and 921 / for the 10th inst. The posi tion of monetary affairs in France is the principal cause of the depression, as the rise in the rate of dis count in Paris is expected to cause a similar move ment on this side. The New 3 per Cents, have receded to 901 a ; the Reducedto 901 4 ; India New Stock 102* 31; and the Scrip 1031 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are firm at par to 3s. prem., and ditto June at 9s. prem. The principal feature of importance in the Foreign Market has been the decline in Mexi can Stock, namely, to 25/ and 26i, and the dealings have been of a moderate cha racter. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 851 ; ditto, 1858, 691,- /. Buenos Ayres have receded to 84, and the Deferred to 27, but Grenada are firmer at 171, and Venezuelan, after being 19'4, have improved to 201 The Shares of the Metropolitan Bank are to I prem. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been of a rather restricted character, but in some instances prices have exhibited more firmness. Eastern Counties and Midlands have improved ss. ; and Great Westerns, and Lancashire Yorkshire, 10s. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln and North-Westerns have declined ss. ; and South- Westerns, 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings business also continued inactive, South Austrian and Lom bardo-Venetian declined to 16a I ; Dutch Rhenish brought 151; Scindes declined to 191 ; and East Indian, improved to 1011. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued dull, without any material change in values. London ana Westminster realise 671; Red Sea Telegraph, 17i ; and South Australian Land, 324.

The following is the text of General Fremont's deed of manumission for the slaves of Thomas L. Snead : Whereas Thomas L. Snead, of the city and county of St. Louis, State of Missouri, has been taking an active part with the enemies of the United States, in the present in surrectionary movement against the Government of the United States—now therefore I, John Charles Fremont, major general commanding the western department of the army of the United States, by authority of law and the power vested in me as such commanding general, declare Hiram Reed, heretofore held to service or labour by Thomas L. Snead, to be free, and for ever discharged from the bonds of servitude, giving him full right and authority to have, use, and control his own labour or service as to him may seem proper, without any accountability whatever to said Thomas L. Snead, or any one to claim by, through, or under him. And this deed of manumission shall be respected and treated by all persons, and in all courts of justice, as the full and complete evidence of the freedom of said Hiram Reed, In testimony whereof, this act is done at head-quarters' of the western department of the army of the United States in the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, on this 12th day of September, A.D. 1861, as is evidenced by the depart mental seal hereto affixed by my order.

CHILDREN THROWING STONESAND PARENTS' LIABILITY IMPORTANT DECISION.-,DYER V. JENNINGS. This was an action to recover 0 , small sum of money for a broken window. His Honour—Did defendant break the window ? Plaintiff—His child did. His Honour—How do you make him liable for his child? Plaintiff—His negligence. His child was throwing stones. His Honour—How do you allow that that was do• fendant's negligence ? Plaintiff—His child was throwing stones in the street. His Honour—lt would be a very hard case to make de• fondant liable for that. Plaintiff—The nurse was with the child. His Honour—Then, sue the nurse. Plaintiff—l always understood the parents were liable. His Honour—Nothing of the kind. You should give the child a clout on the head. The parent is not liable. You will be nonsuited. HAS A SERVANT POWER TO BIND HIS EMPLOYER. DUFFIELD V. BOWES. This was an action to recover £4 ss. for repairs, &c., to a dog-cart; defendant having paid £2 into court. Mr. Reed called the plaintiff, who said that defendant ordered some repairs to the extent of £2. Subsequently defendant agreed to take some harness for 10s. After this it was pointed out that certain parts of the trap looked very shabby, and defendant's man said they could be done. Mr. Pook, for defendant, said that this was clearly a case in which a servant had acted Nfithout any authority from his master. Defendant was in court, and would prove that no order was given for extra work by his authority. Mr. Richardson was then called, and said he was a partner in the firm of Henri's Patent Cattle Feed Company, and he only ordered repairs to the extent of £2 and the har ness 10s. Plaintiff then said that the extra was partly fora cushion which defendant still had. His Honour—Then your action is in trover. It is clear in this case you have not shown any authority for the extra work, and I must find f or d e f en d ant. _ - Mr. Pook applied for costs, and after hearing Mr. Reed, an arrangement was come to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) BOW-STREET. A poor, miserable looking man, named Sutcliffe, was charged with stealing a coat. James Welsh, a crossing sweeper, said he was engaged by the prosecutor to mind his coat in Holborn yesterday, and after he had had it in his care a few minutes he saw the man going round to the off side and pull the coat off the seat and run away with it. The prosecutor, Mr. Hassell, identified the coat as his property. The prisoner said he was starving, that he had a wife and four children at home in the same state, and he took the coat to get them a bit of bread. Mr. Henry told the prisoner he ought to have applied to the relieving officer in preference to stealing. He would make some inquiry about him before he disposed of the case. Remanded. Mary Green was charged with begging. The prisoner said she did it through want. The Magistrate—Why not go to the workhouse ? Prisoner—Because I don't like to do so. Magistrate—You must not beg. Prisoner—Very well ; Then I'll take your advice, and see what workhouses are made of, but I don't promise I'll stop. I want my relations to give me a trifle to start in business, and I think they will do so. Discharged. Daniel Brown, a bricklayer's labourer, was placed at the bar charged with stealing lead. Police-constable Ackerill said he saw the prisoner leav ing a marine dealer's shop, and having some suspicion, ho went in after and found he had disposed of some lead which. he said he had found outside the boarding of the building upon whiqtlie was engaged. Mr. Ho said the lead produced was of the same de scription as ifiat used in the buildings he had at present ha progress at the coroner of Maiden-lane. The prisoner had been in his service for about eight years, and he alway. 9 believed him honest. The prisoner pleaded guilty to stealing the lead. The magistrate said he did not think it was an offence to be dealt summarily with, but as it was a first offence he: would not send the prisoner to the sessions. Under the circumstances he should send him to the House of Correc tion for four months. Till RD -..EDITIO N. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Railways. Closing Price.

JAMES'S.. .—PARISH PROSECUTIONS.—PhiIip Delfosse, of 5, Cecil•. street, Strand, lodging-house keeper, was charged with keeping a brothel at 9, Queen-street, St. James's; an& Elizabeth Buckle, of 2, Queen-street, Ann Clark, of 11,. Ann Bond, of 10, Leon Charon, of 11, George Charles, of 14, Caroline Parker and Anne Parker, of 27, and Anno Crowther, of 21, in the same street; and Rose Warren, o 34, Marylebone-street, were also charged with a similar offence. Mr. Allen, vestry clerk of St. Ann's, Soho, instructed bar Mr. Buzzard, vestry clerk of St. James's, prosecuted ons behalf of the latter parish; Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great; Marlborough-street, appeared for some of the prisoners; and Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, for Delfosse. , Delfosse and Bond were first charged, and, being iden— tified, Mr. Allen said Delfosse had already been convicted and' sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of £2o' for keeping a brothel in Norris-street, Haymarket. This.. was in October, 1850, when the parish prosecuted. He (Mr. Allen) must therefore ask that he be ordered to find. heavy bail, as it was well known he was the keeper of several houses of the kind. Mr. Abrams said he was instructed that Delfosse was not; the tenant of the house. Mr. Beadon said that point would be for the jury. In this case bail was fixed at £2OO for Delfosse, and twc► sureties in £lOO each, and for Bond herself in £4O and two ) sureties in £2O. Bond said she was only servant to Mr. Healey, and asked! if sho was t o be locked up for working hard. Bail was taken for all the other prisoners. Great praise is dve to Inspector Webb of the C division,. for the manner in which, with the assistance of Sergeants; Silverton, Farnett, &c., he succeeded in capturing the pri— Boners, some of whom are most notorious offenders. It was stated that several other houses of disreputable+ character are about to be visited in the neighbourhood of the, Haymarket, the parish being determined to take proceed ings in all cases. The prisoner Delfosse is said to be the keeper of several houses, and to draw a large, almost fabulous revenue from_ them—rooms being let at, in some cases, two guineas a— week each, to French prostitutes. THAMES. ATTORNEY'S FEES IN SHIPPING CASES..--Mr. John. Love Timon, late chief mate of the ship Chebucto, com plained to Mr. Selfe that he had been charged two guineas by Mr. Joseph Smith, an attorney, practising in this court, for the recovery of a 75., wages due to him for services on a voyage from London to Jamaica and back. Mr. Selfe said he could not interfere with the attorney's fees. He had no power in a matter of this kind. He ordered a guinea costs in the case. Mr. Timon said he paid a guinea to Mr. Smith, who also kept the guinea allowed by the court. Mr. Selfe—l don't think the second guinea ought to have been taken. Mr. Davis, the attorney's clerk, said there were two attendances at the court, and Mr. Smith had a good deal of trouble in the case. Mr. Selfe asked the applicant where the money was paid to him—the wages he recovered ? Mr. Timon—ln the street abreast of the court here. Mr. Smith walked away with the captain and brought the money to me, and a guinea was stopped a second time. I said to Mr. Smith, " I have pai I you a: guinea before—why am I to pay it twice over ?" Mr. Davies—This is the case where the master's certifi cate was suspended by the local marine board for drunken ness ; it was suspended for six months, Mr. Selfe—What Ls that to do with the case ? I don't think the second guinea ought to have been taken. I allowed a guinea costs on the second hearing, and that I think ought to have been sufficient, the sum recovered being only £8 7s. Mr. Davis repeated there were two attendances. Mr. Selfe—Yes, I know it. The guinea ought not to have been taken a second time. I have had great confi dence in Mr. Smith and solicitors practising in this court, which I shall no longer have if such conduct as this is re peated. If I find this is going on I shall order the money to be paid over to the seamen and not to the solicitors in future.

It is said that the reduction in the specie held by the bank since the last monthly account was published amounts to 29,000,000 f. The stock still held by the bank is 350,000,000 f. It is ap prehended that a further rise in the rate of discount may become necessary should the present drain on its coffers continue. MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.—Lat week a bottle was picked up on the shore near Bridport, Dorsctshire, con taining some human hair, wrapped in a piece of paper, and a tradesman's card, on the back of which were the follow ing words :—" C. Percy, Sidmouth. Ship Drake, water logged. Took boat Sept 1, 1861, 4.50." There was some other writing on the card, to the effect that if the bottle and its contents were taken to a Mrs. Percy, of Sidmouth, the finder was to be rewarded. The rector, the Rev. W. C. Templar, has taken the necessary steps to find out whether such a person as Mrs. Percy is living in Sid mouth. ~: NEWMARKET .RACES—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

The Registrar-General's return states the total number of deaths registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,108, which, as com pared with the returns of four previous weeks, ex hibits but very slight variation. The average number of deaths in corresponding weeks of ten previous years 1851-60, corrected for increase of population, is 1,329, and if the deaths from epidemic cholera in the corresponding week of 1854 are ex cluded from the returns on which the calculation is based, it will still appear that the rate of mortality that now prevails is comparatively lo w. The births in last week exceeded the deaths in the same time by 740. The deaths from diarrhoea, which in one week in August exceeded 200, and in each of ten weeks since the middle of July exceeded 100, declined last week to 68. Four deaths are also referred to cholera or choleraic diarrhoea. A girl, aged 9 years, died at 5, Bean-street, Borough-road, of " cholera." But while diarrhoea is diminished, there is a percep tible increase in scarlatina., the deaths from which rose to 55 in the week. Of these 55, 7 occurred in Islington, 3 in the sub-district of St. George-the- Martyr, Holborn, and 6in Deptford. At 55, Eagle street, Holborn, a woman died after childbearing, a case in which, according to the verdict of a coroner's jury, " the midwife was culpable." It appears that four members of the same family (a labourer's) have died within six days, three of whom were children, and died from scarlatina. The registrar of St. George-the-Martyr, who recorded these 4 deaths, adds that scarlatina is very prevalent in his district, and that in one family 8 per sons are suffering from it. Three children have died from the same disease in a family at 110, New street, Deptford, in which two otheis have been attacked by it. Six nonagenarians died in the week, the oldest of whom was a widow 98 years of age ; she died at Fulham. Last week the births of 925 boys and 923 girls, in all 1,848 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average number was 1,659. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.459 in. The readings fell to 29.15 in. on Wednesday, and rose to 29 M in. on Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 53 8 deg., which is 1.1 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 66.2 deg. on Friday ; the lowest night temperature was 37.7 deg. on the same day. The range of the thermometer on that day, and also in the Week, was therefore 28.5 deg. The diffe rence between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.9 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 85, complete saturation being represented by 100. The prevailing direction of the wind was south-west ; on Thursday the direc tion was chiefly north-west. The rain•fall was 0.92 in., almost all of which was measured on the first four days. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were much restricted ; nevertheless the demand, both for red and whito qualities, ruled very inactive at Monday's decline in the quotations. All kinds of foreign wheat were in slow request, and in some instances the currencies were drooping. - Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, yet no change took place in their value. The trade for barley was dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. In malt sales progressed slowly at late rates. A fair amount of firmness was observed in the oat trade, prices being in most instances supported. Beans and peas—the supply of which was very moderate —changed hands slowly at previous quotations. The flour trade was dull, and the currencies were rather lower. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Mrs. Parker, of Station-street, Lewes, who has kept bees for years, and during 1860 was very uafortunate (out of three hives only saving 61b. of honey and three sets of bees), has now had the wonderful produce of 761bs. of honey from one hive. This is the more remarkable, as bees generally have been so very unproductive this year. They were fed all the winter upon sugar and honey. HARVEST IN HUNGARY. —The corn harvest has been most abundant this year in Hungary, and enormous quantities are in consequence being sent off by railway to the countries of Western Europe. The advantages which Hungary will derive from these exports are exceedingly great. According to a statistical return, drawn up by the Minister of Agriculture, the value of corn exported from Hungary since the beginning of the month of August is Dearly 18,000,000 f., being only about a third of what can be sold. The abundant harvest has been important in a political point of view ; it has had the effect of making the rural population better disposed to pay the taxes to the Austrian Government. ~, Share l 1 2 20 2 5 1 1 20 S 1 u•2•8I 10} 101 i 121 ; 15j & 8f 5} 16 I 6.8.6 8.12 4.11.6 1.10.6 9 11i 1.14.0 9.18.9 li 10.6.7 11 5.9.0 all 18.18.9 261 4i 138 fict 7* 1.7.2 ES. EAST CUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. At a recent meeting of the above society's show and dinner, after a splendid exhibition—indeed, the best ever seen in Carlisle—the President for the year, P. H. Howard, Esq., of Corby Castle, proposed the toast of the evening as follows :—Mr. Vice-chairman and Gentlemen,—The next toast I have to propose is that which may be called " the toast of the evening." (Cheers) It condenses in our minds the objects of this meeting. But before I venture to sub mit a few remarks to you upon that subject, perhaps I may be allowed to express the regret I feel that an eminent agriculturist—Sir James Graham—is unable to attend on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) This is an extract of a letter he has addressed to me—" Neither my health nor spirits qualify me for a public dinner, and may I re quest you to make my apology to the company assembled, and to assure them that to improve the agriculture of East Cumberland is, at the close of my life, an object in which I take as deep an interest as I have felt from my earliest years." (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Brougham also expresses his regret that he is unable to attend on this oc casion, but he has had a letter which has suddenly called him from home. And now, gentlemen, I believe I may congratulate this meeting upon the excellence in every respect of the successful exhibition which we have witnessed to-day. (Cheers.) I understand from the worthy and energetic Secretary that since 1855—1 mean the year of the Great Agricultural Show of the Royal Society—with which perhaps it would be presumptuous to attempt to vie, this has been the most important show in point of number and excellence that has taken place here, or perhaps in Cumberland. (Hear, and cheers.) I may tell you, as an indication of the increased interest taken in this meeting, that whereas £3O was receives at the gate for admissions some few years ago, to-day the admission money amounted to no less than £ll6. (Loud cheers,) lam sure, gentle men, you will all look perhaps with some interest to the result of the harvest of this country. (Hear.) From what I can gather from various sources it appears to me that that harvest, though perh a p s d e fi c i en t i n quan tity, is good in quality. That at least seems to be the general attribute of the season. The season has, perhaps, been too wet almost for every kind o f crop, even for turnips, and perhaps the only entire consolation we shall have is that we shall not have to Import that large quantity of Dutch hay which two years ago formed such a profitable item in a railway of which lam a director. (Hear, and laughter.) It is always an in teresting inquiry for the farmer or agriculturist to estimate the future price of grain; and so far as I can judge there is no reason to believe that it will fall very low. On the Continent, especially France, the harvest has been decidedly deficient. In the United States, as we all know, many hands that were devoted to agriculture have now directed their energies to military purposes, and though these circum stances in some other cases might in former times have pro duced something approaching to scarcity, yet now the range of supply is so much more expanded than in years gone by, owing to the facilities of steam and other causes, that, unless yo ;t can suppose a general scarcity in Europe, and even be yond Europe, we could not anticipate anything like a serious famine, provided the industry of the country is sufficient to supply the'means of purchasing grain. (Hear, and cheers.) Since the wanderiul invention of the electric telegraph has been applied to the purposes of agriculture and commerce, a great change has been produced, for through that agency a dealer is now able to ascertain in two hours the price of corn in Odessa, and so to judge whether he would be justified in giving an order. (Hear.) At the same time that it is advan tageous to the general community it must be stimulating to the farmer, because he sees the range of competition grow ing much wider than it used to be. (Hear.) Reverting to the show, I may remark that the entry of horses to-day did credit to the county, and certainly, if at the next IN ig tmn meeting they do as well, they will have no reason to complain. (Hear, hear.) In counties which boast of a more genial climate, and, perhaps, a richer soil than our own, the stocks are almost confined to shorthorns, of which we have seen some .excellent specimens to-day; but, as Sir James Graham once recommended, for the poorer soils and wilder districts the Galloway race of cattle has, and probably always will have, a certain hold on public estimation. (Hear, hear.) As regards sheep, I may perhaps be a little over romantic in deploring the departure from the field of competition of the mountain and Highland breed, but you must all have seen with pleasure the excellent specimens of Leicesters and the cross between the Leicesters and Cheviots exhibited to-day. (Hear.) It would bo trespassing too much upon your time to go through the different descriptions of stock exhibited on the show ground, but I cannot help saying that the pigs especially were worthy of the county, and though there were not so many as exhibited at Wigton, yet they did great credit to the exhibitors. (Cheers.) I need not say more. In conclusion, I may congratulate you, I trust, upon the harvest, which, though not very abundant, is not such as to give rise to despondency. If the farmer has severe competition to struggle with, the breeder of horses may congratulate himself that the foreign demand opens out an excellent market. The demand for horses for other coun tries is on the increase, and we find that the Emperor of the French nays a practical tribute to the strength and beauty and fleetness of English horses by adding numbers to his stud, and purchasing large numbers in this country for other purposes. (Hear, and cheers.) lam afraid you may have found these details rather dry—(no, no)—but I am sure you will drink with earnest wishes to the continued prosperity to the East Cumberland Agricultural Society. (Loud cheers.) ALLEGED POISONING CASE. The Court of Assizes at Bruchsal, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, has just tried the Baroness de Baurnbach on a charge of attempting to poison her husband, Baron de Baurnbach, Marshal of the Court of Car'smile, by mixing phosphorus with his food and drink. The baroness, who had been libe rated on bail, was present in court, and replied with great composure to all the questions addressed to her by the President. It appeared from the in dictment that on the 20th of May last John Fritsch and Amelia Leist,both servants in the baron's family, went to a chemist named Rcederer, at Carlsruhe, and showed hiLin a piece of phosphorus, which they said they had, found in the baron's beer just after the baroness had sweetened it with sugar. As the servants hesitated to speak to their master on the subject,. the chemist advised them to commu nicate with the family physician or their pastor. On the following day Fritsch accordingly went to Dr. Benchegge.r and stated that the baroness had attempted to poison her husband ; that the cook maid had seen :her mistress put something into the beer while warming it in a saucepan, which they had afterwards ascertained to be phosphorus; and Fritsch showed the piece of phosphorus to the doc tor, who made: the fact known to the police after speaking on the subject to the baroness, who declared that she could not account for the fact, but would speak to her husband on the subject, which she did at once. The same evening several slices of toasted bread smeared with phosphorus were found or. the floor of the diming room, having been laid there to kill rats and mice. The poison had been bought a month before by Fritsch in obedience to his mas• ter's orders. The servant who had poisoned this bread declared. that he had put the remaining phos phorus in a glass and thrown it over the garden wall. The maidservant Amelia Leist stated that she had pounded the sugar candy and put it into the beer while on the fire. Just as the beer was about to boil over the baroness, by whose order she prepared it, entered the room and took it off the fire ; but neiilier herself nor the cook saw her put anything into , it, though when the baroness left the room they thought the beer had a strange smell, and at the both= of the saucepan they found two small lumps et a blueish yellow colour, which they found to be phosphorus. The baroness drank some of the hoer he'rself, but neither she nor the baron felt any inconvenience from it. Phosphorus was afterwards found in so many places about the house that the c barge of poisoning seemed a conspiracy on the par t of the servants, some of whom had re ceived notik le to leave. Fritsch, Amelia Leist, and Heiss, the c, 7ok, were arrested in consequence, but after examii Ikltion were released and admitted as witnesses. ' Various reasons, one of which was jea lousy, vv;3re assigned as the baron ess ' s motives for idle and her husband , but t he y p roved to be and malich nig inventions. Most of the servants gave the same evidence in court as before the magistrates, the only important difference being that Amelia Leist stated ,that Fritsch still had the phosphorus paste in his possession on the 21st May, while he deposed that, he had thrown it a waylong before. The baronet 4 s defended herself with dignified com posure, and was well supported by her husband and her daughter according to whose evidence their family has al .'Ways been a very happy one. Twenty six witnesses s were heard on the first day. The next morning the pubic prosecutor and the prisoner's counsel adds Messed tie jury, after which the presi dent briefly i necapitulated the evidence, and left the case to the ji try, who almost immediately declared the accused r tot guilty. The announcement of the verdict was received with irrepressible applause, and the bare mess's husband and (laughter, who had been presen t throughout the trial, embraced her with great e motion. IRE AT A FLAX MlLL.—Messrs. Firmin and Co.'s flax Woe. us at Henley, about six miles from Ipswich, have been dc istroyed by fire, the damage sustained being estimated at £ 2,000. The number of persons employed in the establishm .ent was about 50, principally girls ; and one of these narro' sly escaped being burned to death, as she was asleep o a some tow where the fire was first dis covered, and n aust have perished had she not been imme diately roused , for in a very short time after the fire was first noticed tl le whole building was a mass of flame. The rapid progress iof the conflagration is' ascribed to the fact that the build ing, which was 100 ft, long and 40ft. high, consisted enti rely of wood, with the exception of the foun dation and re of while the materials which it contained were also rea' lily combustible. About 30 tons of flax_ the tow were destroyed, the engine greatly damaged, anepdt whole establi ohment reduced to ruin s, with he d, ton of the counti pg-house and four l ar g e wooden tanks in the I rear. 944 514 THE EXECUTIONS AT ROME. The judicial murder of Locatelli by the Papal Government has called forth in all the org ens of 1 public opinion throughout Europe, with the single exception of those representing Ultramont an e views, a loud cry of indignation, horror, and astonishment. It is but natural that indignation should be excited by9eh an act, p erpetrate d b y t h e m i n i s t ers o f th e religion of peace and mercy; that horror should sir ) 1 tni theue s v e sr r ee y nmt b ot r nh e si a ts s r tai innocent sc son eonf o t h manis as ow i t to o is it uh k de na scaf foldoesw—i astonishment at :t o s f u t c h h os a e deedw s t bo h ' u r a lt i t y n aa P s g igtn o oa u p tnii p hn e judicialbolElua ruthless s duringp precedents ec a endde thenrtes m last a o n r d s4e t lo r e traditions years,it vengeance ns n ga o en i a f l d l n t w b e h e e i e Romanunacquainted fo spiritttt r hrht tri bunals present Pontiff and his advisers h ave constantly displayed towards all political offenders. When, three days ago, we spoke of Locatelli's fate, we had occasion to remark that the slaughter of an inno cent man would at most call forth from Cardinal Antonelli a sneer akin to that ind u l ged in by Mephistophiles on the fall of Margaret, " Aft er a ll, she is not the first victim," we stated a plain, simple, downright matter of fact, the correctness of which has long been placed beyond the possibility of d ou b t. An extremely interesting contribution of the curio sities of criminal law, a treatise of most startling and thrilling interest, might be furnished by the histories of all the men executed by orders of the Papal Government for crimes which they have never committed, which they were proved never to have committed, which the real perpetrators came for ward and avowed, only during the last three Pon tificates, those of Leo XII., Gregory XVI., and the reigning Sovereign, Pius IX. The criminal admi nistration of the Papal States under Cardinal Auto nelli has been in all respects worthy of a scion of the bandits of Sonnino. In those collections of official documents which are in the hands of every one at all interested in recent Italian politics, but which the Mai quis of Normanby and his client the ex-Duke of Modena find such difficulty in obtaining, the statistics respecting the executions of innocent men are absolutely appalling. For example, in the year 1855, in the town of Ferrara, the following case occurred :—The Papal Government had deter mined to get rid of three individuals belonging to the Liberal party, Giuseppe Cesellini, Ignazio Rosettani, and Enrico Venezia. It accordingly suborned a notorious bandit, promising that no harm should befall him if he would accuse these three persons of having been his accomplices in a murder. The bandit came forward and bore his false testimony. The most incontrovertible evi dence established the innocence of the three men acete , ed ; one of thr ee , C ese lli n i , was ser i ously ill on the night when the d ee d was perpetrated ; many witnesses proved this ; the apothecary produced the entries in his books made on that very night. All the witnesses were seized by orders of the Government, and thrown into prison, where every one of them, by means fair or foul, met his death. The three men accused were of course sentenced to death ; but before the day of the exe cution came conscience had awakened in the breast of the false witness, and had spoken to him in tones of thunder. The very day before the execution he came forward, publicly confessed the guilty part which he himself had played, publicly proclaimed the innocence of the three men whom he had ac cused, publicly and most circumstantially narrated all the details of the murder of which he alone was cognisant. But the remorse of the false witness did not avail to save the lives of the three innocent men. All four were made to perish on the scaffold. In the same collection of official documents will be fiund narrated the terrible story of the fate of Piet roVentroni, Benvenuto Cavalieri, and Bonaven tura Stefanini, whom their judges declared to have committed the offence of firing off musket without the intention of killing any one, for which offence all three were beheaded. The executions, previously resolved upon, of men who, because no other offence could be laid to their charge, were shot for stealing two pence, figure amongst the most defensible and plausible examples of Papal justice. Under the Government of Leo XII. a case occurred so exactly similar in all its features to that' of Locatelli that the second might almost be deemed a reproduction of the first. The valet of one of the prelates of his court was charged with the assassination of his master. In the remarkable deficiency of proofs the tribunal of the Sacra Consulta condemned him to death, but recommended him to the mercy of the Pope. The Pope would hear of no mitigation of the punishment, and ordered his execution with out delay. No sooner was he dead than the real murderer came forward and confessed his crime. Gregory XVI. was so resolved to slake his thirst of blood that he arbitrarily sent to the scaffold victims whom, by the letter of his own criminal law, he could only condemn to perpetual imprison ment. The criminal code of the Papal States did not allow of capital punishment except when the criminal had reached the age of twenty. When Bonaventura Valetti, in 1835, was charged with taking part in an insurrection at Viterbo, he could not be condemned to death because he had only reached the age of seventeen ; but the Pope decreed that an exception should be made, and that he should be sentenced as if he were already twenty. When, in 1844, a lad of nineteen was charged with stealing from a church a pis, Pope Gregory decreed, in the same way, that he should be tried and executed as if he were already twenty. But it would be idle to heap up a very Ossa on the Pelion of damnatory evidence already in existence to prove the ruthless and bloodthirsty character of the Papal Government. The history of Locatelli's case, from the first stage to the last, is a fitting pen dant to the other we have narrated. When, after being taken by the gendarmes to the hospital Della Consolazione, fainting from the effects of four seri ous wounds, on the very night of the disturbance, the animus of the Papal Government manifested it self so clearly, in the outrages to which he was sub jected to the gendarmes, who remained stationed round his couch of sickness, that the medical offi cers attached to the hospital protested, in the name of common humanity, against their establishment being made the scene of such foul indignities— the Papal Government replied, after its own cha racteristic fashion, by throwing all the medical officers into prison. Locatelli's fate, it is well known, had been determined many weeks before he was even tried. And this is the rule of the Vicar of Christ. Even the last days of the perjured despot, the late King Ferdinand of Naples, appear encircled with a halo of beneficence and mercy when compared with the hard and heartless cruelty of the Court of Rome. Words of pardon proceeded from the lips . of the dying tyrant of Naples, and at that very time, we are now significantly reminded by the leading organs of the Italian press, Pope Pius IX. sent forth his executioners to carry into effect no less tha n fi ve hundred sentences of capital punishment. Well may the children of this Holy Father comment on his paternal Government in the spirit that once prompted the sarcasm of Colonel Titus, and declare that until their kind parent shall mercifully be re moved there is very little chance of their ever sue ! ceeding to those rights and liberties which they Iregard as their le g itimat e a nd j us t i n h er it ance .— Morning Post. 212.1 S DAY'S SILIP.PING.
