UNION. REFORMATORY AIVD REFUGE The first annual meeting ,of this union took ,place yes terday afternoon, at Willis's Rooms—the Earl of Shaftee. Wry in the chair. There 'was a large attendance of gentlemen interested in reformatory aed industrial schools. Mr. R. HANIURY, jun. (the hon. secretary) then rea the report, tef which the following is abrief summary : On the occasion of the first meeting held at the Man sion-housa last April, a fund was collected from which the committee made a grant of 1,600/. to all Metropoli tan reformatories and refuges, and, enceurago by the successes of the industrial exhibition. held last year at Willis's-rooms, they had attempted a more permanent exhibition at the Crystal Palace, , Syderham. The union had given prizes tor four essays - oe the p ractical management of - reformateiies ' with regard to " food, labour, and rest," and, aided by the information in those essays, the committee hoped to publish statistical infor mation for the-establishment of reformatories. A. regis ter was kept at the office of _applicants for situations as reformatory masters, and those teachers only would be selected who were men of piety, as well as of tact, dis dretion, ability,,and good temper. A ship reformatory was to be established in the Thames, and persons were to be appointed in the colonies to carry forward the good work. Arrangements had been made for providing lectures to be given to the.inmates of reforma tories, and their friends, on secular thinis and Bible truths, six of which lectures bad alreadY been delivered. A bill for removing vagrants from the streets twould be brought before the Legislature. Grants of books had been made to form' libraries in several institutions. in Great Britain and Ireland. The committee bad turned their attention with good result towards, assisting insti tutions to effect interchanges of their insnatee a .and had kept up, with mutual advantage, correspendence with persons connected with all existing or proposed reforma tories. Independently of Ale large collection in behalf 'of the metropolitan institutions the public had placed at the disposal of the union no less a sum than 1,0811. • Sir STAiIORD NORTHCOTE moved the adoption of the report.

The additional working cbarges amounted to 5,5661., leaving 6,3501. as the total increase of net earnings on the Shrewsbuiy line's. The tot allecrease in the receipts on the Great Western and -Shrewshary lines' was 77, 1 791/., less 5,27 M,, and in addi-, tiOnal Weicind_ charges 1 9 e49 J., leaving-the total increase of net earningd for the half-year 51,026/.: With respeCt to the Kennet and Avon Canel account the auditors advis'e the red actien e erf the capital aCensitireeseetrefiese cost of the by placing the excess sum between certain items to that account, and they recommend provision to be made out of the Great Western revenue for the balance against the canal, resulting from five years' working, of 9,3801., a course to which the directors, under the circumstances of the case, have given their assent. This deficiency does not pro perly become a cherge altogether to the revenue, for a con siderable portion of it is admitted to be due to the cost of Construction of the Wilts, Somers - et, and Weymouth the works of which have caused frequent stoPpages of the canal itself, and consequent loss of freight. ' The mode; approved by the auditors for meeting it is to charge the Whole balance to the revenue account within 5 years, • by placing 1,380€. to the credit of the Kennet and Avon, Canalin the last six months, and wilting off in each sub-' sequeat year 2,000/. until the whole sum shall have been After defraying all charges which have priority out of the revenues of the Great Western Company, the HUM of 140,822€. remaits available for a dividend on the consolidated stock; and the directors have much satisfic tion in recommending, under the improved condition, of this undertaking, that the dividend for the last half-year be increased from 2i to 3 per cent. per annum, which will allow a balance of 17,27 a. to be carried to the next account. Added to this, the board advert to a claim for a consider able amount on the Postmaster-General in excess of the sum credited for mail servicee, which is likely soon to be decided by arbitration. From . the peculiar nature of these services,, for which there are already two years of arrear to be received from the Post-office, the directors entertain no doubt that the balance in aid of the accounts of the cur rent half-year will be much increased upon the award being . mrde.. The fiind tor "accidents," established in 1849, has now reached the agreed balance of 20,C00/. in reserve, over. and above ill payments for compensation under that heal . The capital accounts embrace the further expenditure dur ing the half year for all the lines then under construction, of which about 37 miles have been since .opened. for past.) :Ringer traffic—viz., between Yeovil and Weymouth, and between Bradford and Bath. The only portions of railway which are still in course of construction consist of the De vizes and Henley branches (about - 13 miles), both of which lines will be completed in the spring. All the Parliamentary obligations for new rail Ways belong ing to this company will thus be fulfilled, and the directors have steadily adhered to the principle of not 'entering into farther engagements of the same descrip tion. Tic. branch railways connected with the Great Western system have been undertaken exclusively by local subscriptions, viz., the Abingdon Railway and the Bridport Railway ; and a third branch from Hatton, near Warwick, to Stratford-upon-Avon, is promoted under simi lar circumstances without any pecuniary assistance froin this company, and is now before Parliament for the sanc tion of the Legislature. The directors have thought it right in all those cases to enter into agreements for finding the plant and working those lines in connection with the traffic of the main line, during a limited period, without undertaking any guarantee or liability for their capital, but without exacting any profit over and above the ex penses actually incurred in working them. Application has also been made to the directors by local subscribers projecting a line between Hungerford and Devizes for a permanent working arrangement of such line, when con structed, on conditions similar to that of the lease of the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway, and they recom mend authority to be given to enter into an agreement for that purpose. The directors must report 'that some modi-, fications in the subsisting agreements between the Corn- wall Railway Compny and the Great Western, Bristo, and Exeter, and South Devon Associated Companies have become indispensable, in order to secure out of the re sources of the Cornwall Company the completion of that portion of their line which is leased to the three companies, due regard being had to the interests of all the parties to those agreements. Application has therefore been made to Parliament for the requisite powers. The main purposes in view are to enable the Cornwall Railway Company to raise the additional capital necessary for completing the line be tween Plymouth and Truro by disposal of their preference shares, with the assistance of the credit of the associated companies, but such preference charge to be provided out of the revenues of the Cornwall Railway, who are also to defray every expense incidental to it. The increased lia bility of this company is limited to two ninth parts of the amount, and under the modified arrangements will not exceed 2,0001. per annum. The directors consider it e. desirable arrangement, which ought to be completed with as little delay as possible. The question of rates for the conveyance of coals over the Great Western lines having been raised by an advertisement and circular letters which tend to mislead the proprietors and to impute to the board preferential dealing, the directors think the best answer to such misrepresentations, industriously pro pagated to serve a particular object at this moment, will be to publish an authorised scale of the rates, as well as the particulars of the system which is in operation, equally and impartially with every freighter who may be willing to transmit coals over this railway. It is perfectly true that a retail dealer who may send single trucks of coals, or coals in small quantities, whenever he pleases, without engage ment or obligation of any description to the company, pays more for the single truck than the freighter who engages to provide full train-loads, adapted to the power of the en gine, sent at all seasons of the year, and for a stipulated annual amount of freight payable to the company. The question really is whether such rates are really dispropor tionate or otherwise, and the publication of the scale will be the best mode of testing it. The directors can say with confidence that their sole object has been to secure to the lines the utmost amount of freight from coals, carried in the manner most economical and remunerative to the pro prietors, and upon one uniform principle, applicable alike to all, and recognised as just. It was sanctioned by the highest opinion of counsel immediately after the last Fe bruary meeting, and the system hassince been confirmed as legal by a recent decision in the Court of Common Pleas. To this principle the directors feel it their duty to adhere, and they will rejoice to find that it is extensively adopted by the Somersetshire, Forest of Dean, and all other col lieries, whether large or small, under arrangements with this company, similar to that which is now in force with the Ruabon Coal Company. It will probably be a satis faction to the proprietors to learn that immediate' mea sures were taken 'by the directors at the instant of the dis covery of frauds which had been committed in certain other companies& the transfer of stock or shares; to have all the registers of this company carefully examined; and a most elaborate report was drawn up and delivered by the accountant, after such investigation, to the directors and audithrs, verifying the accuracy of the registers and the correctness of tie system upon which they have been kept. It is due to the principal registrar of the com pany to say that he was the first person to suggest this Course, and that the result reflects great credit upon him and all who have been engaged in that department. It is intended for the future to transmit notice, by letter, to every proprietor transferring stock to acquaint him that the deed has been presented for entry, in order that he may warn the directors, without delay, of irregularity or fraud, if any should exist. Every proprietor wishing, by way of precaution, to ascertain at any time the amount of stock registered in his name shall, upon inquiry, receive imme diate information thereof from this office. Appended to the report is a statement of the total charge per ton for coals over the Great Western lines referred to in the fore going report. From the tabular statement it appears the contract charge, in full train loads for distances exceeding 100 miles, the total freight being 5,0001. and upwards per annum fora term is 7-16ths of a penny, and for use of waggons 1-10th of a penny per ton.

Cal cutta on the Ist of Nov4mber. It says : .

Bender-Busliire, in coinmunieatit* that declara tionto the Peal authorities; adde J, that the arrival of the naval forces is simply the explanatim of the contents of that d,sclaration. "Thus we are - oblige to unveil the truth and to Make all men • understand that our ,accusare :are themselves guilty,of want of faith, breach of treaties, of injustice, and have create' difficulties with a view to invade our territory. "In explaining -our rights and the r al facts' we wish that the justice of our cause may be 'appre ciated by. every one.. It will he seen that the Ag gression' was itht on Our side ; that never did 'our .Government endeavour lo!infringe- a treaty:`eirie ing between the f two .Governmerrts ; men wilk,be convinced that, not' satisfied. with fulfilling the' terms of the treaties, we did More thanwe were called upon to, do. The proof will bs'given that the Eng lish agents have repeatedly violated the treaties,. created embarras , ments, and infrinee I. upon the authority of the Persian G-overnment. "-Thus it was that the rupturdWith Mr. Murray was caused by his own conduct and hy the, viola- tion of our rights. As if it was not enough to have attacked the authority of the Government, the Minister of England - wished: to claim as a British subject a paid servant and real subject of his Ma jesty the Shah, Marza Hashem-Khan, who has 'given up English protection and returned -to the service of his Sovereign. Moreover, Mr. Murray mixed himself up with the intrigues rela.ing., to Affghanistan'in general, and to Herat in particular. And yet, according to all -the treaties concluded between the two Cabinets :-Ist, in 1809, with Sir Harford Jones ; 2d, inlBl2, with Mr. Crosley ; and '3d, in 1814, with Mr: Ellis. In all those existing treaties it was stipulated that the English Government should not interfere in Persian and Affghan affairs except as a mediator with the con , sent of both parties. " The first infraction of treaties by British agents took place in ... the, reign of the late King Moharn.- med. - Shah, at the siege of Herat. The English Government ' sent vessels of war into' the Persian Gulf, which act compelled the King to raise the 'siege. His Majesty, not wishing to break off friendly intercourse with England, renounced at ;that; time the capture .of Herat. At a later period Mt. Sbeil assumed a cold and threatening manner ; but the Court of Teheran, always appreciating the friendship 'of England,- Contracted, relative to Herat, a new' arrangement, based upon the inter nal relations of the country, such as they'existed in the days of Kamrau and - . of Yar-Mohammed Khan. It was said then that the English should not interfere in any case, or in any manner, in the affairs of Herat, and that they.,shenld not have any relations with the &lie& of the said town. It is to be observed that that treaty must be null and void according to all international law, which sti pulates that a treaty between two Powers shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged—these ',conditions were not fulfilled. "Moreover, .Mr., Sheil hinaself annulled that arrangement, arid his successors have imitated his 'example ; this is proved by official documents that have been communiciated to us. It was by acts that Mr. Sheil infringed' the arrangem nt agreed upon ; he sent one of his confidants, Sultan-Khan, to Herat, and he commenced relatifms that he had no business to enter into, for it had been. expressly stipulated that a copy f the arrangement agreed upon should be sent to the Government of Herat. To the observations • made then - by the Teheran Cabinet to Mr. Sheil that his conduct was contrary to stipulatiens, he replied officially that he did n.et regard himself bound not ,to hold communication with Herat, and that he should' communicate with that town Whenever and as often as he pleased without informing the Persian Government. In fact, these communications' were entertained without interruption. After Mr. Shea, the Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Thompson;- even took ad vantage ,of the departure of Molla-Akram, the Secretary of the Governor of Herat, to enter tain him outside the town, and`to eive him money and a letter for Seid-Mohammed-Khan. "In that letter it is said, that aeon-ding to con ventions agreed upon with the sa'd secretary, Slid Mohammed Khan, whose intelligence and capacities are appreciated, will receive from the agent of Eng land, at Herat, the necessary arms and ammuni tion and two kourours 'of money (43./,000/.), on condition that the English agents shall not be ex cluded from the affairs of AffOlanistan, and that all who speak the Affgh.an tongue shall be subject to it ; that advice is given to Seld Moharnmed-Khan to send one of his sons'to the Governor' General of India, and that he will-thus obtain all that he de sires.' That letter is actually in the archives of the- Persian Government. "Although we are informed of all the stalls of the English aeenta we tolerated them out of respect to the English alliance. But the agents of England put no limits,to their compromising conduct. After the death: of Kohendil Khan, Post Mohammed Khan seized upon the town of Candabar, in defi ance of the prohibition for, any Gevet nment in these partito invade a neighbouring state. Post Mo hammed was even resolved to seize upon Herat. " While these events were taking place in Aff ghanistan the representatives of England maintained a Strict silence on these questions, awl caused us embarrassments on other matters. But as soon as Dost Mohammed Khan had [seized Candahar (ma the 4th of Reby-el-aouel) Mr. Murray, on the 9th of the same month, broke - off his intercourse with the Persian Government. On the other hand, the chief personages of Herat, as Shalizadeh-Moham med-Youssouf, General Ica-Khan, the Sirdar Ah med-Khan the Governor Mohammed-Hussein- Khan,ned-Hussein- Khan, Hadji-Koulmoun-Khan, Abbas-Khan, and all the chief persons of that town, addressed a peti tion to 'the Persian Government concluded in the. following terms : " CWe, the most devoted servants and faithful subjects of your Majesty, feel it our duty to inform you that Post Mohammed-Khan has just seized Candahar by order Of the EngliSh' Government, -and that he has resolved to capture our town also. But as he was not aware'of the changes that have taken place here* and only heard of them at Ghuz nee he did not wish to remain at Candahar, but he at Once gave orders for the preparations of the ex pedition against us ; his sojourn at, Candahar will not exceed seven days. ' " According to letters which we have received from merchants and other persons he Openly de clared his projects against our city. " But, doubtless, you are not acquainted with the follies and treachery of Seid-Mohammed-Lhan, neither-with ,the state of disorder and want in which he has left the army and the population. It is quite impossible for us to hold out without your pport. Althoiigh'we have never been honoured with your kindness or,yoUr gifts (khar al), we have always been your faithful and devoted servants. We, therefore, beg of you to give us succour and to take 'us under fyour -protection note that Post Mohammed declares himself the:aggressor and the enemy of your Government, by placing himself in open rebellion against you. • You have but to signify your orders to him by prescribing to. him his duttei, and by telling him that you have taken us under your protection. If he persists in his designs, tell'hitn you will send us the money and the troops requisite to defeat him. But, at the same time, succour must be sent to us with Sam Khan-el-Khani. For, should our town be captured and destroyed, great evils would ensue and reprisals would lead - to nothing.' " The Persian Government' simply sent Sam- Khan, without troops, to the succour of Herat ; Prince Hissan-ul-Mulk was at Djam, with some troops. But we were nrie aware that Dost Mo hammed had already gained and corrupted by bribery various personages inside Herat, such as the General Ica-Khan, and that he had induced them to revolt against Shahzadeh-Mohamined- Youssouf, to drive out Sam Khan, sent to their aid, and . Mohammed-Youssouf Khan himself,' should he oppose the expulson of Sam Khan. After a sanguinary struggle, Sam Khan was compelled to take flight to Bagschah without troops ; he was compelled to go on to Malak, where his death had been resolved upon. Informed of the conspiracy, -Sam Khan sent a courier to the Prince Sultan Murad Mirza, and through a thousand dangers he escaped to Fort Chibika, whe're he found refuge. On receiving the.news Prince Sultan Murad-Mirza sent Pasha Khan to the aid of the fugitive. What is still worse . is, that while -Sam Khan and Pasha Khan were ,returning from Fort Qhibika to Kou- ALTES7-56. ' 11f M e la n li cit E .

There is n ot in some depart ments quite so much activity as there was at that n o r th er e g g on u terminationdistrict has period, but it must be borne in mind, that we are. nearly through the first half of a quarter which is almost invariably dull, and although the severity of the weather might have been expected to create a good deal of languor during the, last two or three weeks, the drawback on that account has been very inconsiderable. As regards transactions in pig iron, there have been very few for the last fortnight, a circumstance which has induced the inference in some quarters that the trade was again declining ; whereas, in fact, the small amount of business of that kind doing is attributable to the unuusally large quantity of pig iron sold at quarter-day—i,n many instances amounting to the entire quarter s make, even where the quantity produced weekly is beyond the average, and where all the furnaces are in blast. The consequence is that the pig masters are not anxious to sell further at present ; whilst, on the other hand, consumers prefem work ing up their contracts for delivery, without enter ing into new engagements iu the existing state of the money marker, lest a continuance of the tight ness which now prevails should have a tendency to cripple the trade in the spring. This apprehension as to the future does not, h woever, check opera tions at this moment. There are a very large number of furnaces in blast ; 1331110 pigs are firm at 4/. ss. per ton, and it is only a very inferior make of the commodity, in which there is a large quan tity of cinder,' that is difficult to sell ; for it there is so little demand that prices are low, and at the same time to varied that it is impossible to quote them with any degree of accuracy. Ironstone of the district maintains its price, and is in request. There is also a considerable quantity of foreign ore coming in, wkiclads useful for mixing with the stone of the district, and commands a ready sale. Limestone is lovier----at Lord Ward's pits there has been a reduction of 6d. a ton since quarter day. The mills and forges are most, of them in full ope ration ; all the princip a l k • ers are full of orders ; the smaller . establishments are reported to be Working up more closely, and at the foundries there is less animation ; but, generally speaking, there is very little to complain of—indeed, the immense consumption of coal weekly is the best proof of the ansount of business doing. For merchant and plating bars there is a steady demand for the home trade ; for rods there hal been more inquiry during the last week ' • and for plates there are con siderable orders in both for the home and export trade. The American orders are still small, but there is a fair supply in from Canada, for the East Indies, and from the Mediterranean. There is also a tolerable demand for rails and railway iron gene rally, not only in Staffordshire, but in Wales and in Yorkshire. At Park Gate a large quantity of rails has recently been turned out; in other branches of the trade in that quarter there is also more than an average amount of business doing ; in fact, the general tenor of the reports we receive are of such -a nature as to lead to the conclusion that the iron trade is in a healthy state. There were rumours at the close of last week that prices were scarcely so firm, and that there had been underselling of late ; but at most this has been par tial, and no more than will exist in a period of much less difficulty as regards money matters than the present. The tin-plate trade continues remark ably brisk, notwi' hstanding the high price of tin, which has almost invariably exercised a prejudi cial influence upon the trade ; but for some time past the makers, both in Staffordshire and Wales, have been - full of orders, the bulk of these being for the United States. Repeated advances upon the price of tin must, however, ultimately depress the trade. On Monday afternoon circulars were issued announcing a further rise of 4s. per cwt. on com mon blocks, making the price 1465. 6cl. per cwt. ; and upon refined blocks 25., the quotation now be ing 151 s. 6d. per cwt. The commodity is under stood to be remarkably scarce, and supplies are ob tained with difficulty, even for immediate use. The coal trade is brisker than it was a month ago ; the men are all at work, and the water having been drained from some of the pits in the thick coal district, the quantity raised is very large, but it is scarcely adequate to the consumption ; and although there is a large quantity Coming in from Yorkshire an d Derbyshire, there are no stocks, and prices have a tendency upwards. The demand for the Cannock coal is much in excess of the quantity raised, and house coal of all descriptions is at least ls. per ton dearer than i t was w h en we last re ported it ; in fact, the coal trade has seldom been in a healthier state, even the neediest men in the trade being able to command full`prices.

Still more; it_was dieincliered to give Mr. Murray such satisfaction as was compatible with tha dignity of the Persian Government. But that did not sutlic_. ; to ihose two demands others have been added. Lord Clarendon and Lord Redcliffe had put those twOconditions, and . conferences were held with the Persian Charge d'Affaires at the Sublime Porte. In consequence of the new exac- • tions, Feruk-Khan was sent with full powers, and his inissiontwAs notified to the English ambassador. " Nevertheless, before the arrival of Feruk- Khan war was declared. On arriving at Constan tinople Feruk-Khan wished to communicate with Lord Redc'iffe ;- he received as reply, that there were no more questions to be settled, that there was no need of conferring. After great difficulty negotiations were ultimately commenced ; but in addition to the two points above-mentioned, the English ambassador put forward claims which were inadmissible, and had nothing whatever to do with the pending questions. Feruk-Khan, who bad no authori iy t-i treat on the basis, asked for 40 days' delay to allow him to communicate with, his Go• vernment ; this arrangement, to which Lord Red cliffs consent , d, was concluded on the . 2Gth of November, and yet on the 6th of December the English fleet attacked Bender-i-Mahiguiri (the fisheries), which was bombarded and taken. " After reading thesefacts everyman will be able to judge for himself whether it is the Persians or the English that have infringed existing trgaties."

SOUTHAMPTON. - I SOUZIAMPTON, Wednesday.—List night all the lower windows of the Star, Mr. Weguelin's hotel, were smashed, and a largelac we of constables was in requisition there to prevent further violene. This morning a large concourse of persons assembled at the Town-hall, and Mr. We . Auelin was declared fully ele:ted. 2,682 voters polled, of whom 1,720 polled for one or other of the two Libei4l candi dates, aed 962 for the Tory. Mr. WeOelin was the only candidate preSent at the dechration.sof the p,)11, and he was received with much cheering. Sir Edward Bit ler has protested against the election of of Mr. Wegu.din, on the ground that sine of tho polling booths were closed before the hour.fixed by law. At the declaration of the poll a man was pointed out; who offered to vote for one candidate for, a bribe, and,; on such an inducement being re fused him, he Voted for another candidate.

The election of a:member of Parliament for the borqugh of Hull, to fill the vacancy caused by the 1 appointment of Mr.. Watson, Q.C., to be a Baron . of the CJurt - of Exchequer, took place yesterday. The only candidate was Mr. James Clay, who was, together with, Lord Goderich, unseated on petition in 185'2. Tile Sheriff presided at the nomination. Mt. Henry BKindell proposel the candidate, and Mr. P. J. , Thompson seconded him. Mr.. Clay was, then declared duly elected, and addressed the electors. He referred briefly to the former ()wagon, on which he felt he was somewhat hardly treated ; but he' accepted this unopposed elec tion as a proof that, notwithstanding all which had been sad and done, he still retained the confidence of the electors of Hull. He promised that he woull neglect no opportunity of keeping up the good old traditions of the parliamentary reformers. He believed the people's political rights were now to be• had for the asking, and he wished to re mind the people of them. Mr. Clay then referred to the necessity of retrenchment and economy in the public expenditure. The income tax, he said, was a subject upon-which the people of this country had spoken their mind, and they would be attended to. He expe3ted, therefore, that the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer would on Friday night reduce his 'estimates very much below those originally in - tended, and the country would be saved a large sum of, money. Mr.. Clay added, that he was dis pOsed 6 `support a liberal government, but would not pledge himself to any man or any set of men. The proceedings all paised off very quietly. EAST SUSSEX.

ITALIAN JEALOUSY AND REVENGE. Roar; Jan. 31.=—A tragical specimen of Italian jealousy - took place in the' beginning' of .this week at the Pope's favourite , summer.ivsidenc4, the once f imous but now deserted' sea=coast town of Porto danzio. - - The wenien of - that - and.-the'neighbour ing town of Nettnno are celebrated for iheir beauty, but the charms of a young gill, the daughter of a 'fisherman of Porto d'Anzio;' have for some time past entitled her to a pre-eininent rank even in that land of , beau , ies. A young non 'befonging to a noble family of Orvieto, whilst casually sojourning in Porto d'Anzio, became enamoured of the fisher man's daughter to such a degree as to overlook all differences of rink, and to wish for a union with the object of his passion ; but his parents put a stop to- his matrimonial intentions by suddenly summoning him back to Orvieto, and keeping him there in expectation of some more suitable project. The young girl, thus unwillingly abandoned by her lover, was soon after courted by one of her own townsmen, quite a yonth, and son of the municipal secretary, who professed the most ardent at tachment to her, and offered to marry her, al though totally unprepared to meet the expenses of the matrimonial Estate.t Whilst these unsatis factory propositions were pending, the Orvie+an lover- sent a letter, tating that by the decsase of his parents he had become master of h's own actions, end he should lose no time. in returning to Porto d'Anzio, to fulfil his promise ofmarrying the fisher man's daughter. This piece of intelligence was favourably received by the ,old man and the young girl, aed their expectations were realised towards the end of last week by seeing the amorous count arrive from Rome, laden with presents fa. his in tended bride. The necessary preliminaries having been 'summarily arrange], the' impatient lovers were 'united in the holy bonds of matrimony on Sunday morning last, the bride being fashionably attired in the wedding dress and bonnet brought by her husband for :the occasion. It would be superfluous to hint at the rage and disappointment of the discarded suitor. He passed his morning in smoking and playing at billiards, hardly replying to the sarcastic remarks of his friends, who expatiated upon the beauty of the bride, and the becomingness of her new dress. In the afternoon, however, he 'was roused by seeing the bridegroom and bride, with per father and litt!e brother, set out for Nettuno, _ a neighbouring townabout two,nules distant, in a carettino, or chaise: He immediately left the ,billiard-table, and, went home for his...double-bar relled fowling piece, telling his motl;er that he was going to shoot a hare, whose heart and liver he in tended to have for supper that very.evening. Thus armed, lie proceeded towards Nettuno, and waited for his victims at a turn of the road between the batteria and the Villa Doria. The bridal party meanwhile, returning - .ga - ify - from a visit to Net tuno and the church of San Rocco, came in sight of theaasassin, standing with-his gun in the middle of the road; The.bride was .seizeciewith a panic, and exclaimed, "Oh, Dio ! There is Paoluccio l" But her husband hadreassured her, and told her there was nothing to be alarmed at, asp, proof of which be stopped his horse on reaching his rival, • and said tolim, "Good evening, Paolo ; where are you going?" to which the other replied, "Do you not see ? lam going to shoot a hare," presenting at the same time his piece at the bride. She shrieked out, " Spare our lives, Paolo 1" Her husband throw his arms round her, but Paolo sternly replie.l, "It is too late !" and fired imme diately, shot the bride through the heart with a bullet, : and broke her husband's arm with three slugs, with which the first barrel of his gun was loaded. Seeing thrit his rival was not killed, Paolo fired his other barrel without effect, and was proceeding coolly to reload, when the count urged his horse into a gallop, and made at once for Porto d'Anzio. The murderer, a youth not 18 years old, then struck into the forest, and made the best Of his way to the outlaws' asylum, at Campo Morto, a vast estate belonging to the chapter of St. Peter, and situated in such a pes tiferous region of the Campagna, that it has always been considered as a sanctuary for murderers and robbers, who have remained time out of mind un molested within its precincts, and employed as labourers for want .of more honest .3vorkmen. Paoluccio, having the additional advantage of being godson of the archpriest of Campo Morto, doubt less thought himself quite safe in this retreat ; but the Government has lately found. that the bandit tenants of the sanctuary are too much. on the in crease, or the malaria fever not sufficiently active in thinning their ranks, so that the police autho rities are not so scrupulous in observing .the tradi tional immunities of the place.

We read in aql books that the French nation is essentially a military one, that delights in singing the praises of glory and victory, and ren ders only slight homage to the triumphs of peace. We nevertheless remark that great civil services receive in France the same honour as military services, and it is remarkable that it was the greatest military genius of modem times, the Emperor Napoleon, who sought to conseciate this equality. How often, on the other hand, has it been repeated that the English nation, that wine, positive, and commercial nation, attaches little valrueeedo military glory, and knows above all how to Ipnoeur...ea. recompense services rendered to science, lab?titir,gilitltna tion, and humility ?
