Also, in 2 Vo., Mrs. BUTLER'S (late Fanny Rumble)ls JOURNAL of a YEAR'S RESIDENCE IN ITALY. ana Fullerton more t han realises Edward Moron, 44, Dover-street. (From El Monitor Republican.) " Mexicans !—The recent events of the war, and the provisions which have in consequence been dic tated by your Government, render it my duty to ad dress you, for the purpose of demonstrating truths of which you are ignorant, because they are mali ciously concealed from you. I do not wish you to believe me on my word of honour, although he who has never swerved from the truth has a right to be believed ; but I wish you to judge of these truths from the facts which are under the cognisance and subject to the. test of you all. " Whatever may have been the origin of this war, which my country found itself compelled to under take from inevitable causes, of which, I understand, the greater part of the Mexican people are ignorant, we consider it as a fatality; for a war always is so to the two belligerent parties, and reason and justice are called into question, if they are not entirely unknown, on both sides, each one believing that it is in posses. sion of them. The proof of this truth is held by the Mexicans as well as ourselves, since in Mexico, as in the United States, there have existed, and do exist, two opposite parties which are desirous, the one of peace, and the other of war. Governments, however, have sacred duties, from which they cannot swerve, and those duties frequently impose, from mo tives of national convenience, a silence and reserve which sometimes displeases the majority of those who offer oppositition from purely personal and private views, and whom Governments, which suppose that the nation reposes in them the confidence merited by a magistrate by itself elected, ought not to regard. " Reasons of state and of American continental interest compromised events in spite of the circum spection of the Cabinet of Washington, which, ar dently desiring to put a period to all the differences with Mexico, left no means untried, so far as they were compatible with its honour and dignity, to attain so desirable an end ; and when it cherished the most flattering expectation of obtaining its object by means of its frank explanation and of arguments, submitted to the judgment and practical wisdom of the virtuous and patriotic Government of General Herrera, the misfortune, least looked for, dispelled that grateful hope, and at once obstructed all the paths which might have led to an arrangement honourable to both nations. " The new Government mistook the national in terests as well as those of the American continent, and chose, moreover, the influences most foreign to those interests, and most fatal to the future prospects ind the liberty of Mexico, and the republican system which the United States deem it their duty to pre serve and protect. " Duty, however, and a regard for our own dignity, impelled us to the necessity of not losing an oppor tunity which was being violated by the adherents of the monarchical party, and we labour with the activity and decision necessary in such urgent con tingencies thus to avoid the complication of interests which might render our situation more difficult and more serious.

The contest now 'twiat Whigs and Tories Is past, 'whilst each successful glories ; And, true, we have a mighty notion, That ended is the great commotion. Now it is strange amidst the fuss, Which certainly amuses us, To find that HYAM'S still retain Amidst the world so great a name! Go ask the Whig —go ask the Tory, What tradesman has the greatest glory ? The answer is, we vouch it clear, Why, lIYAM'S first in every sphere. And why is this ? Why all protest His clothing is the very best ; See for yourselves, and with surprise, You scarcely will believe your eyes. His cut, his fit, his style and make, Precedence will at all times take ; Whilst sterling goodness, lengthened wear, Proclaim that standard clothes are here, The Hosiery, Hat, and Outfit Department, recently added to thi: Establishment, is now complete, containing a well-selected stock of Shirts, Gloves, Hose, Handkerehiefs, &c. &c. Paris and town made Hats, Travelling, Fishing, Youths', and Mens' Caps, in every va riety, at prices in accordance, with L. Hyam's well-known econo mical system. L. lIYAM'S LIST OF PRICES s. d.

" Again, in the course of the civil war, your Go vernment, headed by General Paredes, was overturned, and we ourselves could not but believe that it would prove a benefit, because whatever other persons might represent, the Government would be less deluded, and at once more patriotic and prudent, if he attended to the public welfare. Considering and weighing all probabilities, their forces, and elements, and, above all, the most general opinion respecting the pristine results of the national war, we are mistaken, as per haps the Mexicans themselves have been, in our judg ment of the real intentions of General Santa Anna, whom they recalled and our Government permitted to return.

" In this state of things, the Mexican nation has seen what have been the results which all lament, and ourselves sincerely ; because we duly appreciate the valour and the noble decision of the unfortunates who go to war badly led, worse directed, and almost always the victims of deceit and perfidy. " We are witnesses ; and, as interested parties, we shall not be accused of partiality, when we have lamented, with admiration, that the heroic behaviour `; . f the garrison of Vera Cruz, in the valiant defence which it made, was disgraced by the general who had just been routed and put to a shameful flight by a force very inferior to that which he commanded in Buenavista; that this general re warded the promaciados in Medico, the promoters of the civil war, and ouWaged those who bad just sin gularly distinguished themsolvc6 by a resistance far beyond what could have been expected, and charac terised by an admirable decision. " Lastly, the sanguinary affair of Cerro Gordo has shown the Mexican nation what may reasonably be expected if it continues to remain in ignorance of the real state of affairs to which it has been conducted by some of its generals whom it has most distinguished, and in whom it has reposed the most confidence. " The most hardhearted man would be melted into grief and tears at the contemplation of the battle fields in Mexico a minute after the last shot had been fired. The generals whom this nation has paid for so many years without deriving the slightest service from them (with a few honourable exceptions), served on the very day when they were wanted, to prejudice the cause for which they contended, by their bad example and their unskilfulness. Amongst the dead and the wounded no proofs of mili tary honour are discerned, because they are almost reduced to the sad fate of the soldier, and this has been on all occasions, from Pulo- Alto to Cerro Gordo, the cause of the dead remaining un buried, and their wounded being abandoned to the clemency and charity of the conquerors. And sol diers who went to battle with the knowledge that this recompense awaited them well deserve to be re cognised as the best in the world, because they are neither stimulated by an ephemeral glory, a sigh, or a remembrance, but only a tomb. " Contemplate, then, honoured Mexicans, the fate of the peaceful and laborious citizens in all classes of your society. The property of the church threatened and held out as an allurement to revolution and anarchy—the fortunes of the rich proprietors indi cated as the prey of rebel rapine—the merchant and the artizan, the labourer and the manufac turer, loaded with contributions, imposts, du ties on consumption, and surrounded by guards and officers of the odious internal custom houses ; the literary man and the jurist—the free man of knowledge who dares to speak, persecuted without being judged by any party, or by the very Governments which abuse their power ; cri minals set at liberty without punishment, like those in the fortress of Perote. What, then, Mexicans, is the liberty which you enjoy? "I do not believe that the Mexicans, sons of the present age, are wanting in courage to confess errors which do not dishonour them, and to adopt a system of true liberty, peace, and union with their neighbour ing brothers of the north. " Still less do I believe that they are ignorant of the infamy with which we are assailed in the perio dicals for inciting the people to rebellion. No, public spirit is not created or reanimated by falsehoods. We have not profaned your temples, violated the persons of your wives, or taken possession of your property, as they would have you believe ; and we say it with pride and attest it on the evidence of your own bishops, and the curates of Tampico, Tuzpan, Mata moras, Vera Cruz, and Jalapa, and all the ecclesias tics and civil authorities in the vicinity of those dis tricts which we have occupied. We worship the same God, and a great part of our army, as well as the po pulation of the United States, are Roman Catholics like yourselves. We chastise crime wherever we find it, and reward merit and virtue. "The army of the United States respects and will always respect the private property of every class, and the property of the Mexican church; and woe to him. who shall fail to do so wherever we may find ourselves. " Mexicans, the past cannot be remedied ; but future. evils may nevertheless be prevented. I have repeatedly declared to you that the Government and people of the United States are desirous of peace and youtr sincere friendship. Abandon, then, ranco rous prejudices, and cease to be the tools of privateam bition. ; behave like a great American nation ; aban don for once these habits of colonists, and learn how to be truly free, truly republican, and very soon you may be very rich and very happy, since you possess all the elements of both ; bu t reflect that you are Americans, and that your felicity is not to be de.rived from Europe. " In conclusion, I desire to proclaim, and with equal frankness, that if it should prove necessary, an army of 100,000 men would very promptly arrive, and that the United States would not terminate their differences with Mexico—having to do so by arms_ eit her in a precarious, uncertain, or dishonourable ma nrier ; and I should insult the enlightened part of this. country were I to doubt their knowledge of this tru ".

The magistrates of Bath have been engaged during the week in investigating a charge against four per sons of the names of John and Daniel Davis Ford, John Lewis, and Francis Garland (housekeeper to the deceased), for having forged the will and codicil of a gentleman of considerable property, named Wil liam Slack, who resided at Bathwick. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. William Slack died at Bath on the 2d of July, 1845, having been taken ill on the previous 10th of April, up to which time he had been in the habit of coming into Bath, and transacting his business with his tenants I and other persons at a house in Quiet-street, where his letters and papers were kept. On being taken ill, ' he sent a servant to fetch from Quiet-street a will which he had previously made and cancelled. On the 11th of April Mr. Dowding and Mr. \Vintle, so licitors at Bath, were engaged the greater part of the day in taking instructions for a new disposition of the deceased's property, and on the 16th that will was duly executed, and after that time several codicils* had been framed, which remained as genuine codicils till the 30th of June in the same year, which day wis on a Monday. On Sunday, the 29th of June, Mr. Slack, who was fully 80 years of age, was fast sinking, and upon Mr. Dowding calling on him , expressed a wish to have a codicil prepared, by which to devise some property which had yet to be disposed of. That codicil was accordingly prepared, and on the Monday was executed in the presence of two of Mr. Dow ding's clerks, who witnessed it. The following day the deceased grew worse, and early on Wednesday morning he expired. During the preparation of the will Mr. Slack expressed a wish that it should not be ' proved till the expiration of six months. Two days before the expiration of that term a letter was re ceived by Mr. Dowding from the Registrar of Doc - tors' Commons, giving him notice of the receipt, by Mr. John In gledon, one of the deputy registrars, of a letter signed "E. A.," and dated, " Bristol, 16th of December, 1845," in which the writer, in very bad orthography, informed Mr. Ingledon of the decease of Mr. Slack, and enclosed a copy of a will purporting to be his, requesting Mr. Ingledon to get a proctor to prepare the probate. The envelope was directed "To the Prerogative Court, London." On the re ceipt of this communication Mr. Dowding went to London, and at once saw that the said will weri a forgery. The signature was not in Mr. Slack's handwriting. The document was badly spelt and worded, and contained not less than thirty-five mistakes. The will purported to be witnessed by a Mr. Mant, a solicitor, since deceased ; but Mr. Dowding, who knew his handwriting, at once pronounced it not to be his, though a good imitation. On legal pro ceedings being threatened against the suspected par ties, every one seceded except Stephen Ford, who prayed the Court to be allowed to prove in forrna ' pauperis, and a suit was instituted and proceedeid. Twelve months, however, had elapsed. Mr. Ma9t, having died in the interim, was not produced. Jacrlb Stoodley Manning, the other witness to the will, was not to be found. Fifteen months elapsed from the date of the death of the deceased, when up started a codicil, purporting to be signed by Mr. Slack, and. ;to be dated at the same time as the will—viz., the 30th of June, but making a different disposition of the property. This document, it was stated, was found in the house of the female prisoner ih the Wells-road. It was witnessed by John Lewis, John Ford, and Henry Mant. Lewis and Ford ..had also sworn that they had seen Mr. Slack sign the will in the presence of a person named J. S. Manning and Mr. Mant ; that they saw Mr. Mant and Manning put their names as witnesses, and that DR. Mant Olen lift the room and came back with the codicil in hisishaiid, which having been signed by Sleek, thw e (Lewis Ford) attested it with their signatures. In the end this evidence was rebutted, the signatures were, proved not to be genuine ; it was shown that 1\ r. Jacob Stoodley Manning was an imaginary being ; the suit was settled, the affidavits of the prisoners rejected, and the Judge of the Prerogative Court pronounced the case to be one of forgery at Bath aid perjury in London. Various witnesses proved that Ford, who had been very poor, had said he should ;be very rich by Mr. Slack's death r that the signatures were not in the handwriting of Mr. Slack or llr. Mant; that the body of the will and codicil were,, to the best of a witness's belief, in the handwriting: I( Daniel Davis Ford ; and that the female prisoner Was to get 3001. per annum under the codicil. It eras also shown by the female servants of Mr. Slack that neither Mr. Mant, nor John Lewis, nor John Fokd, who purported to be witnesses to the will and codicil, had been at Mr. Slack's house on the 30th of June in question, when the will and codicil pO - to have been made and executed. The magis trate thought the evidence sufficient, and committed the prisoners. stances afforded grotinds for a chargé of , false testi mony against M. d'Ecquevilley, one of the witnesses in "the case; which testimony had fori:qed part fif the ground upon which thererdict of acquittal. was-re n. dered. M. d'Ecquevilley has just been ;'Tied"before the Court of Assizes of the Seine on this - ch,krge; The perjury related to the following facts :—Bekre the duel M. Bertrand, one-of the seconds of bujar rier, haying examined tlfrpistols, which were supplied by M. d'Ecquevilley, aid inserted a -finger" in one of the barrels, found that was lijacketied, fronr - whicli circumstance he inferred that they had been tried, and put the question to M. d'Ecquevilley, who replied that they had been merely ficanbes (flashed with powder), and that M.. Beauvallon had never before used them. M. d'Ecquevilley had mofoMthe.rGorfanxiie.r Dujarrier, previously represented to the other seconds that the pistols were his own, be having purchased them of M. Devismes, the Frunftnith whereas it transpired that they were in reality the but was condemned to pay heavy damages to M. Beauvallon, who had often fractised with , them. M. Beauvallon was acquitted of the chare of m ,strder, a C r as ri s e a r g: w ac h , th p e ro_ b se r c o u th te er the o ie civile in the cause. To avoidofsums Beauvallon payment d this Beauvallon fled to Spain, as id also his second, d'Ecquevilley, who holds the rank of captain in the Spanish army. Alo • Along time had not elapsed before an acquaintance of d'Eequevilley , de made important disclosures, to the ' effect that he knew the pistols used in the duel to be those of the brother - - in-law n of M. Beauvallon ; that they had been tried before the duel by the latter ,in the garden of the house where , d'Ecquevilley resided; and that Beau vallon, who performed some shots which excited his admiration, replied that he was perfectly acquainted with the pistols, as they belonged to his brother- in law. Upon this the indictment against d'Ecquevilley was framed. In the course of this trial M. Beau vallon appeared as a witness on behalf of the accused, and the testimony which be gave being compared with the established facts of the case and the evidence of other witnesses was, in the opinion of the court, such as to place the judge under the nocessity, - in the discharge of his functions, of committing Al. Beau vallon to the Conciergerie on the chaw of giving false testimony. An observation having f a llen from M. Beauvallon in the court, to the effect t4t the proceeding of the president would have the e..ect of producing a duel between him and M. Bertrana (the son of the Marshal of France of that name), the lore sident, at the close of his charge to the jury, said, " Having thus,,Gentlemen, placed before you the cir cumstances of the accusation, allow me to notice the impudence of that man whom I ordered into arrest to-day, and who will no doubt be prosecuted. It was not without indignation that we heard him say to the court, You desire, then, to have a duel between me and Arthur Bertrand !' Gentlemen, a duel of any gentleman with Beauvallon is now impossible ; for if, as the public prosecutor maintains, he have not used unfair arms in the duel with M. Dujarrier, he must be admitted to have used suspicious weapons. Beau vallon is a person who can no longer find adversaries. A man of honour would utterly lose his position if he should accept a challenge from him." These con cluding words of the Judge were received by the large assembly which crowded the court with an ex pression of loud and general approbation,which, how ever, was immediately suppressed. At the close of a prolonged investigation and legal discussion, the jury, after retiring for only fi ve minutes declared by the mouth of their foreman— " On my honour and conscience, in the sight of God and men, the verdict of the jury is—" The accused is Guilty.' The verdict is found by a majority : there are extenuating circumstances." The Court retired for a quarter of an hour to deli berate, and on its return pronounced sentence against Ecquevilley of ten years' solitary imprisonment, without public exposure. He was also deciAred liable for costs. ` n- law FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT STALEYBRIDGE. On Sunday morning some men, in the employ of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway Company, were in the temporary wooden building erected near the tunnel which is being made under the town, and which serves as a storehouse and stables. The men were hunting out the rats that infested the place, and for this purpose put some gunpowder down the holes and set fire to it. Unfortunately a cask containing a large quantity of powder was in the building, and' the fire having communicated with it, an explosion of a most fearful character ensued, shaking the build-► ings in the neighbourhood and burning several of the .unfortunate men in a frightful manner. Two of the number contrived to scramble out of the place and jump into a pit of water adjoining with their clothes on fire, and the others were taken away almost life less. The building contained a large quantity of oil and tallow, and was set on fire and burned to the ground. One of the sufferers, named Matthew Gomersall, aged thirty-four, who was " gaffer" over the horses, died on Sunday afternoon, leaving a wife and three children. James Platt, William Shirt, and Abraham Hardy Smith, were so severely burned that they are tont e e d x w pe i c ti t i ed thel ossof recover. life The sufferers is ufferleikrselhyatdoeevaseruye. at tention paid them.

Such, however, has not been the case. Owing to the movements of the Bank, and the difficulties experienced in the money market, a feeling of caution has again been induced, and a week of quiet, regular working for orders has passed. A considerable difference of opinion exists as to the future prospects of the trade. From the uncer tainty necessarily attending all speculative conclu4ions,. its present position, with the movements and transac tions daily taking place, form by far.the most important matter for our consideration yet it may not be unpro fitable now and then to glance at the probable effect passing events may have upon its interests: _That the harvest here and abroad will prove most abundant.and productive, and will be gathered in an unusiiallyexcel lent condition, appears almost beyond a doubt; and a vast reduction in the prices of' articles of human suste nance must inevitably follow ; so that all apprehen sions of stagnation to trade from scarcity of provi sions must be abandoned. At the same time, the export demand for manufactured iron, and such articles as are chiefly composed of it, seems to be brisker than ordinary, and the consumption for railroads cannot by any means be diminished for a considerable time to come. There are also causes that, under prosperous circumstances, have hitherto generally pointed out the present season of the year as the proper time for an advance in price, and always induce a greater activity at that period than any other. That those causes have not" ceased to ope rate, tho incipient movement already noticed evidences, though their influence has been p artiall y checked.

A letter from Bologna, of the sth, states that, not withstanding the presence of the Austrians at Ferrara, the population of that town, like those of Bologna and Pisa, celebrated the anniversary of the death of the brothers Bandiera, and their companions in misfortune, by attending a solemn mass for the repose of their souls. —Galignani. 411, - - DESTRUCTION or noun Muas.—Yesterclay morning, about half-past three o'clock, a most terrific and destructive fire broke out in the extensive flour mills, known as Ray Mills, near the Maidenhead station, of the Great Western Railway, the whole of which, to gether with the adjoining brewery, is now a heal) of ruins. The fire was first discovered by a man who was at work on the premises, who alarmed the inmates of the dwelling-house of Mr. J. T. Bell, which joins the mills; but such was the rapidity with which the devour ing element spread from one building to another, that the family had barely time to escape, which they !did almost in a state of nudity. Amongst the first on the spot was Mr. Charles Venables, jun., the extensive paper manufacturer, who, on hearing of the fire, at Once closed his mills, and conducted the whole of his workmen to the scene of devastation, and by their exertions some of the valuable furniture was saved. By this time it was found that the fire had communicated to the dwelling house of Mr. Stearnes, of the Stock-Exchange, and 'for some time it was feared this would share the fate of the rest; fortunately, two engines from Maidenhead arrived, and by their prompt exertions (there being plenty of water at hand) that house was saved, but not without considerable damage to the furniture. The whole of the adjoining brewery was now one mass of flames, and 'for some time it seemed as though no part of it could be saved; but at length the firemen succeeded in saving the brewing plant, which is, in fact, the only thing saved. The loss must be very great, as in addition to the stock of corn, flour, malt, &c., there was a very large stock of beer, nearly the whole of which is destroyed. The pre mises are insured in the West of England Office. 'No cause can be assigned as to the origin of the fire; but there is no doubt that it was accidental. Much praise is due to the Maidenhead firemen for the great pronipt ness and activity they displayed. GUN COTTON.—The Committee charged, under:the presidentship of the Duke de Montpensier, to proceed to a series of experiments to ascertain the advantages of employing fulminating cotton, as compared with ordinary gunpowder, has made known the result of a part of its labours. The experiments have proved that in certain cases of blasting, such for instance as of soft rocks, its effect was less considerable than that produced by gun powder—four times the weight of the new agent. In' the second place, it was proved that after the explosion, . a deleterious gas was generated, capable of occasionin g a new explosion. It was thought that the' introd ucti on, in preparing the fulminating cotton, of a ch emical to oxygen, pi capable of producing a considerable quant it y inconvenience would be likely to do away pointed out.

A NOBLE EXAMPEt TO CONSTITUENCIES.—The electors of South Shields, indignant at the virulent and vexatious opposition made to Mr. Wawn, have resolved to return that gentleman to the House of Commons free of expense. His election bills have already been paid by them, and when he d eparts for Lon d on a fi rs t- c l ass ticket will be presented t o hi m, and his cab hire to the House paid, so that he will stand on the floor of that House an independent Member in the fullest sense of the term.

PROHIBITION AGAINS T THE IMPORTATION OF WARLIKE STORES INTO THE REGENCY OF TRIPOLI, IN BARBARY.—The Government of Malta, under date July 30, 1847, transmitted to the committees of British and native merchants of that island, copy of a dispatch from G. W. Crowe, Esq., h er B r i tann i c Majesty's Agent and Consul-General at Trip o li, d a t e d the 20th ult., noti fying that the importation and sale of all warlike stores, such as guns, gun-barrels, g un p ow der, gun-flints, musket and pistol balls, had been s t r ictly prohibited by the Government of Tripoli; and that any such articles being landed at any of the ports or on the coast of that Re gency, will be confiscated as contraband. STEAM TUGS FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN.—It is suggested that the attention of the Admiralty should now now be called to the probability of westerly gales setting in in the Mediterranean, by which vessels from the Black Sea and the coasts of Italy and Egypt, bound to this country, are often detained many days, sometimes weeks, in the Gut of Gibraltar, to the great damage, and not unfrequently total destruction, of their cargoes. Many hundred vessels may thus be shortly collected and stopped there. Two towing steamers, placed in the gut to render assistance, might be the means of sparing much loss to merchants and underwriters. The preva might send half a d ozen f or the e lence of westerly winds last y ear a t the Gut of Gibraltar caused the detention of a l ar g e flee t of merchantmen for nearly six weeks. Surely , havin g so many steam ships served, ltty that of tea c hi ng t h e com manders to jresppoota:reteo, of , assisting might eA d mra h wind bound fl ee t. A nother b i e of such steamers what it is very desirable they should learn —namely, the best method of towing ships, and also the capabilities of their respective vessels for this sort of work; it being well known that the towing of heavy ships does not so much depend upon the speed or horse-power of the steamer employed as upon her build. SUPPOSED MURDER.—Great commoti on was create d in the Cowgate and neighbourhood yesterday by a report that the common executioner for the city, John Scott, had been murdered. From the few contradictory and inconclusive particulars which we have been enabled to gather, it appears, however, to be exceedingly doubtful whether Scott's death has really been o ccas i oned by vio lence, or arose from natural causes. A s the case is undergoing gthe invest i ga tion by the authoriti es, we forbear na me of the party accused, or th e var i ous in criminating statement s current a g ainst him. There can be no doubt, howeve r, that Scott was y es terday forenoon carried into a shop n ear the foot of the Fishmarket Close in a state of insen sibilit y , and that he died in a few minutes after. Som e p eople sa y he di ed in consequence to of a blow he had just received from another man, while others allege that it was a sudden visitation. The latter is, perhaps, the correct version, as Scott was a poor, emaciated man, and it appears his body bears no external marks of violence. — E dinbur g h Advert iser.
