(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a Bench of Magistrates.) Miss OSBORN'S CASE.—This case, which excited consider able interest, has at length fallen to the ground. Throughout . the whole of yesterday the Court and its avenues were crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear the result. The Bench also presented a thronged assembly of Magistrates, amongst whom we obse rve d th e H on. F rederick Byng, the Hon. C. Lennox Butler, Sir Moses Montefiore, together with some other gentlemen of distinction ; however, they wen doomed to disappointment, as the inictment chargingthe lady with felony was not presented before the grand jury, owing to the absence of a material witness. In the early part of the day the Judge inquired if the pro secutor, Mr. Allum, was present? Being answered in the affirmative, he ordered him to be called into Court. Upon making his appearance, the Judge asked him if he had en gaged counsel? He said he had engaged Mr. Ballantine. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the Court, and said it, ttra4 impossible, as he had been retained for the defence three days ago. The JUDGE (to the prosecutor)—You had Netter get to gether your witnesses, as the bill canaot be presented until all the witnesses are present. rr , - the entire day, one o h n a e d g let oi t,: g b i i n d psoealirceeh . t man, who is also a witneiS, went in match of the prosecu tot another, until_ at last there was not one witness to be found with ►' c l I T6 s co l on t ro u u L-6 ::: tile exception of the policeman. At 0 ; ; lit o'clock the grand jury entered the Court with the litSl bill found. The JUDGE remarked that it was an extraordinary circum stance that the witnesses in Miss Osborn's case were not forthcoming. An officer of the Court said there had been one in Court a short time since, but he was half drunk. He went away again, and said he was'going to look for some other witnesses. The JUDGE—It is an extraordinary:proceeding. Let the whole of their recognisances be estreated, with the exception of the policeman ; and the prosecutor can, if he likes, press the indictment at the next session. The Bruges Journal of the 22d says, " Yesterday an accident happened to the trains which left Bruges for Brussels at hall-past three o'clock. At Bloemondale one of the pistons of the engine broke, and the train could not proceed. The signal was immediately given to Ghent, and after some hours' delay another engine came from Ghent ti bring the train to that city. This accident delayed for several hours the arrival of all the trains on the western and southern lines."--Brussels paper, Feb. 24. MuNicit, FEL 14.—The deputies of the States of the Zollverein will meet in this city on the Ist of July. THE NEW ASYLUM FOR INFANT ORPITANS.—YeItd , terday evening a highly-respectable meeting of those friendly to this Institution took place in the Hanover-square Rooms. In the absence of Lord Dudley Stuart, the President, the chair was ably filled by Joseph Tritton, Esq., the Treasurer. Mr. Tri:ton explain e d th e o bj ects of the new Asylum, which had been established by some of the best friends of the old Asylum, who had been driven from, rather than had volun tarily left, that Institution, in consequence of the Church of England party having obtained a charter, which made it compulsory that all the children should be edu cated according to the forms and tenets of the Church. The new Asylum had been set on foot only since May last. Sixteen orphans were already provided for, and ten more were about to be added ; 1,6001. had in this short time been raised by subscriptions and donations.

DEATH OF THE lOWAY INDIAN CIVET); _The ...Dundee Warder, in noticing the visit of the loway Indians to that place, says the party consisted of fourteen indivi duals ; but since they left Edinburgh it has been reduced by the death of a little child, about six months old. Some ladies with whom Mr. Catlin had been previously acquainted visited the sorrowing parents on their arrival here, and kindly made the necessary arrangements for the burial of the infant. It was proposed that the body should be interred here, but the parents would not permit this. They said" there were no good people here," and insisted that it should be sent to New castle, in which place they had been treated with great kind ness by some members of the Society of Friends, of whom. they retained a most grateful recollection. This was ac cordingly done. The poor Indians expressed the greatest gratitude to the ladies who had shown them kindness here, and upon their leaving presented them with rings, and said that they would pray to the Great Spirit for them every day of their lives. A 44 VENISON " FEAST.—The landlord of an eats minet, at Courtray, undertook to regale his customers with what he called venison. The company to the number of eighteen, met at the appointed hour, and were no sooner seated than .the dainty dish, carefully cut up into steaks, was placed bn the table, and the work of destruction began. A few of the guests remarked that the venison was very goods but not tender, others thought it was too old, and one addedl that lie had never tasted the like before; all these objections were, however, speedily removed by mine host helping him self to a considerable quantity of the meat, exclaiming— • q Excellent plat! bonne deride!" The next day the con sumers were not a little annoyed to find that they had ea t en the flesh of an ass; they were, as may be supposed, enraged, against their host; but the good man appeased the party hvi, assuring them that the same dish was considered a great th;.. licacy in Spain, where he had served in the army.—Brorjeis Brittali Gazette, Feb. 0. • ADVERTISE 'VENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS,] Morni,g, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TO WN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE.

BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS RAILWAY. — The half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held on Monday at the London bridge terminus, William Nash, Esq., in the chair. The report, which was read by Mr. Oxley, the secretary, stated that, in pursuance of a reso lution passed at the last general meeting, the Directors had completed the arrangement with the Brighton Company, who were now registered Proprietors of 3,500 shares. The Directors had been actively engaged in promoting every ne cessary step towards thevigorous progress of the undertaking, and on the 23d of December they made a call of 5/. per share, payable on the Ist of February. It was satisfactory to them to be able to congratulate the Proprietors on the promptness with which the call was met, the sum of 1,440/. only remaining unpaid. After recounting at some length the contracts into which the Directors, on behalf of the Com pany, had entered, the report stated that the various schemes suggested by the South-Eastern Company with a view to compete for the Hastings and London traffic, had received the most careful consideration of the Directors in respect of the lines proposed between Tunbridge and Hastings, and also a revival of the Headcorn line. The engineer's report stated that between Lewes and Brighton, where the heaviest works were to be encountered, great Progress had been made, par ticularly on each side of the Fulmer tunnel, 600 yards in length. Between Fulmer and Brighton, five occupation bridges had already been built, and the public road, bridge, and viaduct over the London-road would soon be put in hand. The report was adopted, and a discussion ensued in reference to the contracts entered into by the Directors on the subject of the works on the line.

The number of Captain Lever's new work for the present month is not so full of incident as the one which has preceded it; nevertheless, it will be read with no small degree of interest and amusement, par ticularly the scene between poor old Sir Archy and the Beggars, in which that good old gentleman be trays no inconsiderable degree of astonishment at the sight he beheld, and want of temper at the cool impu dent wit, indulged in at his expense in the following dialogue : "They were all busily engaged in stowing away the provender of various sorts and kinds, as luck, or the preference of the cook, decided, laughing or grumbling over their portions, as it might be, when Sir Archibald M'Nub hurriedly presented himself in the midst of them—an appearance which seemed to create no pecu liar satisfaction, if one were to judge from the increased alacrity of their movements, and the evident desire they exhibited to move off. The O'llonoghue laughed as he witnessed the dis comfiture of the ragged mob, and let down the window sash to watch the scene. " "Tis going we are; God be good to us !' " ' Ye needn t be cursing that way,' said an old hag, with a sack on her back, large enough to contain a child. " Eyah! the Lord look down on the poor,' said a little fat fellow, with a flannel night-cap and stockings without any feet; there's no pity now at all, at all.' " ' The heavens be your bed, any way,' said a hard featured little woman, with an accent that gave the bless ing a very different signification from the mere words. " Blessed Joseph! sure it isn't robbers and thieves we are, that ye need hunt us out of the place.' " Such were the exclamations on every side, inter mingled with an undergrowl of the Scotch naygue— the ould scrape-gut,' and other equally polite and flat tering epithets. _ _ " is no' a place for ye, ye auld beldames and blackguards; awa we ye—awa wi' ye at once.' " Them's the words ye'll hear in heaven yet, darlint,' said an old fiend of a woman with one eye, and a mouth garnished by a single tooth. - Thera's the very words St. Peter will spake to yourself.' " ' Begorra, he'll not be strange in the other place anyhow, muttered another. ''Tis there he'll meet most of his countrymen.' " This speech was the signal for a general outburst of laughter. Awa wi' ye, ye ragged deevils; ye'r a disgrace to a Christian country.' " ' Throth we wear breeches an us,' said an old fellow en crutches; and sure I hear that's more nor they do, in the parts your honour comes from.' " Sir Archy's passion boiled over at this new in dignity. He stormed and swore, with all the impetuous rage of one beside himself with passion; but the effect on his hearers was totally lost. The only notice they took was an occasional exclamation of— " There it is now! Oh, blessed father! hear what he says! Oh, holy mother! isn't he a terrible man?'— comments by no means judiciously adapted to calm his irritation. Meanwhile symptoms of evacuating the terri tory were sufficiently evident. Cripples were taken on the backs and shoulders of their respective friends; sacks and pouches were slung over the necks." So far as this work has gone it promises well, and is far less likely to cause ill-feeling towards the writer on the part of his countrymen than the man ner in which be has depicted their passions, preju dices, and peculiarities in his former works. FRANCE ILLUSTRATED, with Drawings by Thomas Altom, and Descriptions by the Rev. G. N. .Wright, M.A. Fisher, Son, and Co., London, 1845. This is the first Number of a series of pictorial illustrations of the landscape and architectural beauties of France, from the pencil of Mr. Allom, whose artistical talents are so well known, and so justly appreciated, that to name is to praise him. Mr. Allom's name is a sufficient voucher that the drawings will be all first-rate works of art ; and, from our personal knowledge, we can vouch for the strict and portrait-like accuracy of the drawings contained in the present Number. The letter-press descriptions, by the Rev. G. N. Wright, are well written, and display a considerable amount of antiquarian research. by our own correspondents. It was establishod beyond the possibility of doubt, and without the necessity of breaking a single seal, that this conspiracy existed, and that the members of it were preparing to re-enter Italy from Corsica, Malta, and the lonian isles. Effec tual preparations were made to suppress it. In these preparations the Government of this country, both at home and in our dependencies in the Mediterranean, was bound to join by the duty we owe to out" allies and to the tranquillity of the world. The hosp;tality and protection afforded by the British flag are violated by the men who convert an asylum of refuge into a position of attack. We give to these po litical fugitives security from their enemies ; but, if we allow this security to be made a cover for revolutionary intrigues in foreign countries, we not only compromise our neutrality in these civil contests, but we passively assist the very cause we disapprove. Upon these and all si milar cases, we adhere to the opinion we very decidedly expressed upon the visit of the Duke of Bordeaux to this country, when th a t v i s it was converte d i nto a politi cal demonstration against the Court of France. It is very much to be lamented that Lord Seaton had not sufficient information to justify him in stopping the fishing-boats before they sailed from Corfu ; but when they had sailed, he had no legal power to send the Medea to pursue them on the high seas, and beyond the British jut isdiction. The enterprise was conducted by the young Bandieras, who had deserted from ' the Austrian service, and disgraced their honourable name by throwing themselves among the most desperate characters of the revolutionary party. With such leaders, it could scarcely be called a political movement ; it was a mere piratical adventure on the coast of Calabria, which was at once put down by the common people of the place near which they landed, and a few gens d'armes. It may suit M. Mazzini's purposes to repre !ent these hapless young men as political victims ; but in reality they were the victims of nothing but their extravagant passions and imprudence ; and they rushed headlong to their own destruction, precisely because their designs were either not foreseen or no longer feared. If they had been detected, they would doubtless have been prevented, and these young men would not have died an ignominious death.—Times. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, FEB. 24.—The usual weekly meeting of the As sociation was held this day. It. A. FrrzaErtALD, the newly-elected Member for Tippe rary, was in the chair, and addressed the meeting at some length. Mr. D. BROWNE, having handed in a sum of money from Liverpool, proceeded to address the meeting. He observed that strictures had been passed upon the conduct of the Irish Members for absenting themselves from their Parliamentary duties in another place; but lie would tell the gentlemen by whom those observations were made that the repeal Mem bers were equally well entitled to the exercise of a free opi nion as they. The repeal Members attended the Concilia tion-hall, in the discharge of a conscientious duty—a duty unrewarded and unrequited, save by the approval of their consciences and the approbation of their fellow-countrymen. Thew were abused by the Irish Whigs, represented by Mr. Bellew—by the English Radicals, represented by Mr. Wak ley ; and by all that wag ill-understood, and ill-contrived in every party, by Mr. Roebuck.—(Cheers.) That gentleman represented nothing that was generous or noble, but all that was peevish, cranky, and petulant.—(Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then commented in severe terms on the speech of Mr. Roebuck, and dwelt particularly on the connexion between him and Papineau, the Canadian insurcent. Mr. O'CONNELL moved a petition to Parliament praying for a removal of restrictions on the regular orders of the clergy. They were the advocates of liberty of conscience to all, and his preser.t motion was in accordance with that glorious principle which would afford protection to the Pro testant in Spain and the Christian in Constantinople.— (Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman eulogised the monastic order as the friends of government, of litera ture, and religion. He called on the meeting to assist him in abolishing these penal enactments, and he believed he might state that on this subject he had the cordial support of the Association, Protestant as well as Catholic.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. DAVIS, barrister, as an Irishman and a Protestant, seconded the motion. Mr. SMITH O'Bnii supported it. Mr. GrtArrAN addressed the meeting in favour of the mo tion. He took a review of English misgovernment in Ire land, and maintained that he and all the Hon. Members that wished well to Ireland should remain at home and do their duty in the Conciliation-hall. LAND CO3I3IISSIONER. REPORT. Mr. O'CONNELL condemned the Land Commissioners' re port. He described it as the most exquisite piece of insipidity that ever proceeded from public men. It was what Cobbett called " cat - lap"—(Laughter)—stuff, unfit for the consideration of great men, and only fit for the imbecility cf childhood. While that document was worthless, as far as the remedial measures suggested were concerned, it was valuable to this extent, that it exhibited the state of the Irish people as far inferior to anything that could previously be credited in England. This state, he c9ntended. was the c(!risefluvier, ; , hei - iArthur Young was in Ireland, the cottages of the peasantry swarmed with poultry, and all had pigs, and many had cows. The labourers then had Is. and ls. 4d. a day— now sevenpence was considered good wages. There was then plenty of labour for the industrious ; and my friends (said he) we will soon have plenty again.—(Cheers.) He hoped his words would be taken down, and that they would go England to be read by the Roebucks and the other miserable plunderers cf this country.—(Cheers.) He could not endure these landed Commissioners. Shak speare described a perfumed nobleman coming to the field of battle when it was over : it was thus with these landed Commissioners—these essenced and perfumed civets talk of relief in lady-like terms ;he could bear them had they spoken out nrnly, and said that they had no remedy for these miseries, but that the people should look to themselves-- (Cheers)—but they had not done so.—( Hear, hear.) They had showed their grievances were unendurable, and that the Irish people were the most patient on the face of the earth. And what did they propose? Oh ! he could not express his contempt sufficiently for the cat-lap Commi ss i on. —(Ch eers Yes, the p eo pl e of Ireland were enduring, and they would endure, for as long as he lived not a s i ng l e d rop o f bl ood should be shed. But the time of his life was drawing to a close. He was now at the age when human existence de pended upon casualties, and when he was in his cold grave he should say, England don't dare to continue these injuries on Ireland.—(Tremendous cheering.) Well, and what do you think that that little insignificant Roebuck says, that as the Irish Members are unable to fight them in the House of Com mons we shan't get any man to make us so. Ho says that we are insignificant. Oh, who is he to say so ? Was not his son John there ? and is he "insignificant ?" Was not Henry Grattan there ? Was not Edmund Burke Roche there ? And was not William Smith O'Brien there ? What was insignificant about his friend Mr. O'Brien ? Was it his talent or his ancestry—his independence of spirit or of principle ? Oh, Mr. Roebuck, it is you that is insignificant, and you who are unsavoury.— (Cheers and laughter.) This, said he, is the report of the Land Commissioners, and in the face of it Mr. Roebuck dared to propose the extension of the income-tax to Ireland. None but a plunderer and a robber dared to propose such an impost after such a report. The Hon. Gentleman then im plored of the people to preserve tranquillity —to abstain from crime —and, above all, from illegal societies ; and having recommended the adoption of a peaceable combination by which he had carried Catholic Emancipation, he moved that it be referred to the Parliamentary Committee to in quire into the facts and representations contained in the Land Commissioners' report. Mr. Jorrir O'CoxxELL expressed his gratitude to Mr. Shed and Sir Winston Barron for their manly defence of the Irish Members in the late debate on Mr. Roebuck's motion, and regretted that it would be inconsistent with their pro fe sions of not identifying themselves with the proceedings in Parliament, to propose a vote of thanks to those gentlemen. At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. O'Connell an nounced the rent for the week to be 3661. The meeting then adjourned. - ' METROPOLIS IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday the Com missioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests issued their plans, for letting on building leases various plots of ground on the line of the new street, which will communicate be tween Oxford-street and Holborn, and which is to be called Oxford-street," the length of street being about 1,600 ft., and the width about 60ft. There are thirty-five lots, the frontage of each varying from 22ft. 6in. to 125 ft. 9in. The fronts of the houses towards Oxford-street " are to be enriched architectural elevations, faced with such materials as the Commissioners may approve," and " no objection will be made to buildings of the architecture known as Elizabethan." " The carcase of each house is to be built by or before Christ mas-day, 1845, and the houses and all other buildings on all the lots, are to be completely finished and rendered fit for habitation by or before Midsummer-day, 1846, under penalty in each case respectively of the forfeiture of the lease." The ground excavated for the basement stories, if required by the Commissioners, is to be deposited to fill up the loose ground around the Milbank Prison. No tenant is to carry on tte business of publican, tripe-boiler, slaughterman, B°4lP-i oo il er , tallow-miter, blacksmith, farrier, c hi mney -swee;er: or any noxious, noisy, or offensive trade, without tb:,, consent of the Commissioners. The lessee is to reinfourse the Commis sioners the expenses incurred by pawing th' t }— em for building the vault and sewers, and for street, or to pay in lieu thereof an annual rent, at the rti,e of 60/. for 27ft., or 31. per annum. The houses are to te erected subject to the inspection of the architect of rho Commissioners, and no change of the archi tectiri'al decorations is to be granted without the consent of the Commissioners. ACCIDENT IN THE POOL.—Yesterday a brig moored a short distance horn the Lower Tunnel-pier, wa p- wing, broke from her moorings, and was carried by a strong flood tide athwart hawse of the outer barges of the pier, which is supposed to extend 230 feet into the river, and car ried them away with the people upon them, who were thrown into a state of considerable alarm when they found them selves adrift. The brig and the barges of the pier were car ried a considerable distance, and ran foul of other vessels, which let go their anchors or released themselves from their moor ings, and a scene of indescribable confusion took place. The Upper Tunnel-pier belonging to the watermen, and adjoining Execution-dock, and which extends 160 feet into the river, escaped altogether, the brig and other vessels passing within a few yards of the outer "dummy." Several collisions took piece, and some time elapsed before the vessels could be sepa rated from each other. The brig which first got adrift was towed back to her original berth by a steam-tug, and the barges of the Lower Tunnel-pier, which is a great impediment to the navigation in the Pool, drifted as far as the Tower, and were brought back by the owners of this landing-place, which, to the surprise of many, has been so long permitted in a busy part of the river. The funeral of the late Dr. Heberden, who died at • his residence lil Cumberland-street, on Wednesday last, and vho was one of the physicians, in conjunction with Drs. Willis and Ilalford, to his Majesty George 111., took place yesterday at Windsor, the body being deposited in the family vault in the church of St. John.

SECRETARY—Lewis Crombie, Esq. This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication between Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Bristol, traversing In its course many wealthy, populous, and important districts. It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeovil. By means of it and of the intended line between Bath and Salisbury (now in Parliament) the connexion between Dover and Bristol and the East and West Coasts of England will be complete. A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that by the aid of the South Western Railway, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Me tropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles. It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ; vie., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at the same time will bring into direct communication with each ether the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bris tol, a most desirable object in a national point of view. A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that an immense traffic must flow to the line, and that, in fact, no other Railway in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places. By it, Salisbury, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitchureh, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, Stal bridge, and Ilcheeter, with the numerous smaller towns and villages in their vicinity, will be brought lute immediate connexion with each other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, ;making the entire length of the line yet to be constructed not more than 105 miles.

The assertions made by you, on moving an amendment to a motion for the second reading of the Harrogate and Knaresborough Railway Bill, were dis graceful, being either wilful misrepresentations, or showing you were ignorant of the nature and character of the Bill in question. I am inclined to think it was the latter, as I flod you have been reported to have stated similar assertions at a meeting of the inhabitants of Doncaster, on the 17th January last. I feel it a duty I owe to myself, as well,as to my late colleagues, who were the principal promoters of the proposed Railway from Bolton Percy to near Knaresborough, to defend our conduct by stating the truth, and to contradict the asser tions made by you. You are made to say that Mr. Hudson, or the York and North Midland Company, were the promoters of the intended line from Bolton Percy (not Burton Salmon) to Knaresborough. That the length of the line was 14 miles. That the dissentient landowners was The assents The neuters •• - ..... .. 11 miles .••• • • • 11 If 14 miles Now, Sir, for the facts : The length of the intended line was 15 miles and 69 chains.

Mr. Hudson gave us no assistance until the second reading of the Bill. No doubt the intended line would have been very bene ficial to the York and North Midland Company, but it would be much more to their interest as a Company to make it themselves, and they thought we should not be able to raise the money, such was the feeling at that time of the public against rilways ; but we d i d succeed, in a most honourab le way, in obtaining the capital quired, and Mr. Hudson, fi n ding we had succeeded , did, on th e second reading of the Bill, render us some assist us ance ; and although the trick of getting up a case against , ftsli of misrepresentations, and given to the Members on en others tering the the House, and the misrepresentationsde by you and , Bill passed the second reading, and had it not been for the in fluence of a certain individual, there is no doubt we should have passed the Committee, and got our Bill. I regret that an individual with such a kind and amiable domestic character, though a mighty hunter, should so far disregard the interests of his tenantry, and the tenants of others, as to exert his influence to deprive them of the be nefits of railway communication. There are few, very few, agricul tural districts of more importance ; besides, on this short line of sixteen miles, we have three market towns, and two fashionable watering placee,—say, Tadcaster, Wetherby, and Knaresborough, and Harrogate and Thorp-Arch, and an extent of country further west, which would derive considerable benefit, merely because it was said to interfere with the hunting field. No wonder your friends should express to you their surprise, after the second reading of the Bill, that suds a measure should have been brought forward, of course supposing your statement to be correct, but I think they will now be more guarded how they express any opinion upon your statements. When the Committee reported to the House that the preamble of the Bill was not proven to their satis faction, I was advised by a friend to get some Member of the House to move for the printing of the evidence given to the Committee. I regret I did not do so, as it might have prevented you from repeating —"le-statements.

A charge has been brought against the Government of this country, which most materially affects not only the character of this or that Minister, but our national good faith, and the sanctity of that hospitable protection which Great Britain gives, without distinction of_iymiltit S 01r-., ircnn uit pur the world. Mr. Milnes and Sir Charles Napier, therefore, anticipated the public feeling throughout England, and we may add, Europe, by asking Sir Robert Peel for an explanation of the part which the British Ministers had taken last spring between the Italian Governments and the refugees who were sup posed to be meditating a descent on the coast of Cala bria or the Papal States ; and Sir R. Peel treated the questions with the marked attention they undoubt edly required. It is revolting to suppose that, whilst the English Ministers were engaged in a cor respondence with the Austrian and Italian Cabinets, for the purpose of transmitting secret information of the intentions of conspirators residing in the Bri tish dominions, those persons received no warning of the dangerous position in which they stood, and were even lured on by a perfidious encouragement to embark in an expedition which could only lead to their certain destruction. But it requires no profound knowledge of the secret communications which may have taken place between the Govern meats of Europe, to demonstrate that the persons about to engage in these deplorable attempts were perfectly informed of their position ; they knew that their projects were disclosed to all the Powers interested in the prevention of them, and they were aware that the Austrian troops in Northern Italy were ready at a mo ment's notice to cross the Po, and march even to Naples. These facts were notorious to the whole world many months before the expedition from Corfu sailed, for they appeared more than once in the most prominent part of our own columns. No sooner had these particulars come to our knowledge, by a communication from the Conti nent, than we acted on the 3 conviction that one of the fairest and most effectual means of preventing the threatened explosion in Italy, without compromising its authors, was to publish an outline of their scheme, of their resources, and of the all-powerful resistance which awaited them in the shape of an immediate intervention on the part of Austria. These projects had long been agitated by the Italian Republicans in London, Paris, and other places ; and as early as the autumn of 1843 the Austrian Government, being fully aware of them, was prepared to act on the emergency which was expected to occur. On the 17th of October, 1843, we , stated that we were led to suppose, by information which had reached us from Vienna, that a detachment of 4,000 Austrian troops had ere then entered the Papal terri tories ; and that the Austrian and Piedmontese Govern. meats had resolved to intervence in support of the Papal authority against the revolutionary; movements of the Republican party. The movement was, however, post poned, and, of course, no intervention took place. But on the Ist of April, 1844, we recurred to the sub ject, observing, that the accounts we had before published were premature, but not unfounded ; that lively apprehensions were entertained in the minor states of Italy; and that "in the foreign countries to which the political refugees have been driven by former revolutions, as web as in those more contiguous Positions—such as Malta and Corsica—to which they have access, the greatest activity had for some time past prevailed amongst the disaffected." We added a great number of details as to the extent and objects of the projected insurrection ; and we observed, that " the fact that such a scheme should be made public, and that it should have been known for some time past to the Cabinets most interested in the result, with a va riety of names and details which we abstain from giving, will perhaps interfere with the execution of the conspiracy, but we have before us certain evi dences of its existence. Such an undertaking would infallibly fail, but it would not fail without bloodshed ; and we should hereafter be called upon for our compassion to victims, to whom, if they were successful, we must deny our respect" We have great reason to believe that this public disclosure of the scheme did powerfully contribute to deter the Italian refugees from proceeding with it. Certain it is, that a plot which at one time had asso ciates all over Italy, considerable funds, and a force suffi ciently powerful to contemplate an armed invasion from the adjacent islands, was silently abandoned, and that the warning given by this means, and by private communica tions from the Italian refugees in England, was all but completely effectual. The only exception was the ex peditiun of 22 unarmed men, who started from Corfu on the 12th of June, and soon afterwards landed in Calabria, where they met a fate which we cor di a ll y de plore, and the more so as the slightest prudence or ob servation of what w as passing amongst their own friends and in Europe would have preserved them from it. They must have known that the general insurrection in which they were to have taken a part was abandoned — but they persevered. The measures by which the wholesale misery and bloodshed of fresh disturbances in Italy had been avoided were lost upon them. They persisted, and they perished. We sincerely lament their infatuation and their miserable end ; but, rn justice to all the parties to these transaction§ it is fair to re member that the measure' of prevention were successful, exeept vii;ll iegarcl to thOie 22 persons, and that the great se vice rencle t red i tO the peace of Italy and of V, , uropa tut measurably exceeds in nispoytaii minor incident, which was uelprtui - l ately not foreseen and therefore, could not be prevented.
