At half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Chief Justice Clerk finished his summing up, which, towards the con clusion, was much against the prisoner, and the jury having retired for a few minutes, came to the following verdict:—" On the first count, not guilty, and the second and third counts, not proven " So far as we are able to judge, the verdict has met with the almost unanimous approval of the people of the three kingdoms. That Miss Smith has acted in a most culpable manner there can be very little doubt, but the evidence does not appear to make out that clear case of guilt which would have warranted a conviction for the capital offence. That the deceased was poisoned by arsenic there seems to be no question ; and it was admitted that the prisoner, on aeveral occasions, purchased large quantities of that poison, but between these suggestive circumstances, there was a vast hiatus in the evidence upon which a just conviction could have been grounded. The deceased may have committed suicide. He may have been poi soned by accident. He may have been murdered by some one else. Any of these supposi tions is clearly consistant with the case proVed. Upon the other hand, the prisoner was perfectly open and unreserved in purchasing the drug ; she did so with a witness present, and actually wrote her own name on the chemist's book. Again, her statement with regard to using the dangerous compound as a cosmetic, was corroborated in a great measure by her friend, who was aware that she had learned it was employed to improve the complexion. All these facts strongly negative the presumption of her having committed the crime with which she was charged. The secrecy which invariably accompanies the perpetrators of murder was wanting, and a probable reason was assigned for having possession of the poison, without in tending to use it for an evil purpose. Under such circumstances we cannot imagine how any jury would have been justified in finding any other verdict than that which acquitted Madeline Smith. In the London Court of Common Council on Wednesday, a resolution of condolence with the Lord Mayor, on the melancholy death of his brother, Colonel Finnis, who, perished at Meerut, was unanimously adopted. Mr. Anderton gave notice of a motion to present the freedom of the City to the Duke of Cambridge. accompanied by a sword of the value of 200 guineas, "as a mark of attachment to the Queen and Royal Family, and as a recognition of the energy and success with his Royal Higness has discharged the duties of his office as Commander-in-Chief of the British army." " This certainly appears to us," says a Metropolitan eotemporary, to be a most extraordinary proposi tion. We are not are what remarkable services the Duke has performed as Commander-in-Chief to render him worthy of this special mark of honour. If the Corporation adopt Mr. Anderton's motion, it will add another to many previous evidences of the sycophantic manner in which our City magnates are ready to kneel at everything in the share of Royalty. Prince Frederick William will meet the Court of Common Council on Monday. The inquiry into the cause of the North Kent Railway Accident has terminated for the present in the committal of the engine -driver and fireman. Mr. Goodere, attorney-at-law, practicing in the Police Court, who had given bail for his appear ance on a charge of obtaining money on false pretences, [yesterday appeared before Mr. Mans field, and the charge was entered into; but the worthy magistrate decided that there had been a mistake made, and that Mr. Goodere had not knowingly conducted himself in an unprofessional manner. Another scene occurred in the Police-court, yesterday. A touter for Mr. Cobb, was placed in the dock, on the charge of obtaining money on false pretences. The prisoner Buckley had obtained 3s 6:1 from a person, on the representa tion that he was the head clerk of Mr. Cobb. This lattter gentleman denied that he was in his employ later than the 17th of June last ; but eventually acknowledged that he had paid him money as late as Saturday last. Mr. Mansfield decided that Buckley was in the employ of Cobb at the time, and discharged him. We are rather of opinion that our Stipendiary would be doing a service to rid the police-court of some of the petti fogging lawyers which ingest the precincts of that building. We know he would gain the thanks of all the sensible portion of the thousands who have businass, directly or indirectly, with the courts. The " touters" outside ought at once to be sup pressed. They are a nuisance—yea, more than a nuisance, for no one is safe who has anything to do with them. The weekly meeting of the Dock and Health Committees were held yesterday, but no business of importance was discussed. The deaths in the borough last week were 241, being an increase of fifty-three over the preceeding week. Our Paris advices state that the individuals in criminated in the attempt on the Emperor will be tried by the Court of Assizes in the first week of August. The accused are four in number, three men and one woman, all natives of Italy. Letters from Bologna, of the 3rd, say, that the Pope has been very badly reach - el in that town, in consequence of certain liberties requested by the population not having Men granted. The . Papal procession wa s r ec e i ve & with groans and hisses. At Ravenna, the municipal Ersthorities .presented an address which was the opposite to satisfactory. Intelligence from Constantinople of the 25th ult. states, that . on the p rev i ous n i g h t a h ea d o f th e Turkish pollee, Chetki Pacha, was assassinated in hi s h arem by one of his sub or di nate agents, w h om he had grievously insulted. Th e assass i n d rove a knife several times into the body of the Pacha, and then murdered a wife of the latter who had endea voured to seize him. He then gave himself up to his companions, and at once admitted his guilt to the Cadi. We have to recerd two capital convictions for murder —one at the South Wales assizes; the other at the Central Criminal Court. In each it was the too ordinary case of a husband killing his wife. In the former, the unhappy man, George Lewis, has been left for death, without hope of mercy ; in the latter, Michael Crawley, has been recom mended to mercy. A ministerial paper says that Viscount Monck, Lord of the Treasury, and rejected of Portsmouth, is about to ask the Oxford electors to put him into the seat Mr. Neate has been turned out of. It is said that Mr. Cardwell does not intend to offer himself to the electors We have interesting intelligence from the Con tinent this morning. The accounts to hand, show that some connection may possibly have existed between the Italian insurrection and certain serious insurrectionary movements in Spain. These latter movements are stamped with a republican character, but some surprise is expressed as to the source whence the insurgents derive the ample funds they seem to have at command. The latest telegraph announces their defeat and merciless punishment. Miss Meriton White, Mazzini's fair agent, pre fers to be arrested, and tried in Genoa, rather than leave the country. Is it courage or bravado ? The House of Commons had an early sitting yesterday. The business before the House was of an interesting character. The Mersey Con servancy and Docks' Bill was read a third time and passed. Some opposition was shown, on it being moved, that the House should go into com mittee on the R-formatory Schools' Bill, but a division showed HIS for the motion, and only thirty seven against. The clauses of the bill, with a few unimportant amendments, were then agreed to, and the bill was reported. Mr. Horsfall presented a petition from the traders, merchants, and shipowners of Liverpool, in favour of sending the Resolute in aid of Lady Franklin's exr edition to the Arctic regions. The Fraudulent Trustees Bill went through committee, the Attorney- General undertaking to remodel some of the pro visions before bringing up the report. We have three day's later news from America, but the intelligence is not of the least importance The only item of interest is of a melancholy nature. A steamer on the St Lawrence had been burned, by which 200 emigrants perished. WE grieve to be obliged to record another of those aimless, ill-judged, ill-managed outbreaks, which seems destined to occur in the unhappy classic land of Italy; the effects of which must be to shed innocent blood ; uselessly to sadden the hearts of enlightened patriots, to give the enemies of freedom a pretext and an apology for tightening the bands o f tyranny, and so indefinitely to adjourn the advent of Italian freedom. As yet, the accounts are very confused, and we wait for more specific and reliable informa tion ; but it would seem that, a short time ago, the Sardinian Government were warned that an insurrection would be made in some part of Italy. Disturbances accordingly took place at Genoa and Leghorn, on June 30th. Some insurgents got possession of a steamer on her way from Genoa to Tunis, made a descent on the island of Ponza, liberated 300 prisoners, were encountered or followed by royol troops, and several were killed. This is the old story. A few over -earnest, hot-headed men break out into insane and useless revolt ; they are out numbered, deserted, or betrayed, and the dust of their footsteps is soon laid in blood. But their country is no nearer freedom ; and still the classic land of the C,ESAR'S and the RIENZI'S is crushed under the heel of despotism : even though the noble brothers, the BANDIERAS, and their companions, may lay down their lives for Italy, because that which is bravely dared has not been wisely planned. How often shall we have to chronicle the same sad facts and repeat the mournful lesson to the too sanguine patriots of many oppressed nationalities ? We regret this outburst the more because it began in the best governed and most constitutional portion of Italy ; within the territory of the king of Sardinia—just the last place where revolt ought to have come to a head, The king and people of Sardinia have the warmest respect and sympathy of the people of England. Sardinia, without being a servile copyist of England, has most promisingly entered on the path of consti tutional improvement, and any disaster V) Sardinia would be a calamity to the cause of progress over all the world. This interesting little kingdom has, next to England and Belgium, the largest amount of civil and reli gious liberty of any continental nation. She is strengthening herself against Austria outside. and developing her railway system for her own poople. She is practically showing to all Italians how they may more securely win freedom than by muskets and barricades. We should deplore any arrest of her progress as a misfortune to the world. We should not, of course, be surprised to hear of an outbreak in the Kingdom of Naples, where POERIO is tortured in a dungeon, and hundreds of noble lives are rotting away under damp, and chains, and famine. This insurection, so far yet appears, has had no aim or plan. The electric wires were cut in one place, and a sergeant and a few guards were cut down in another. We are utterly at a loss to see what good result to any party can follow such a reckless waste of human life. The men that fell by the insurgents . _ had all mothers and relatives that would mourn their loss ; but if patriots will be cutting their way with a bloody axe, let them aim directly at the guilty movers and causes of all this cruel oppression, and not be satisfied with destroying the tools and instruments which their tyrants wield. low little does the common soldier know or care for the plans and policy of the master he serves. Yet the burden of war and insurrection falls upon the rank and file. It is for patriots to see that no good can come from the mass of the people shooting each other down, either in support of freedom or despotism. It is the policy of tyrants to send the people out to the mutual slaughter. It should be the wisdom of those who love their country to disappoint those tyrants. This revolt in Italy, as usual, is THE NORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, JULY 10. 1857, attributed to MAZZINIAN influences; and simul taneous risings were expected at Florence, Naples, and other places. As the unholy One is blamed for all the evil that is done on earth, so MAZZINI is charged with all the insurrection and revolt that happens in the glorious peninsula that skirts the :Mediterranean—a glorious land, but an ill-starred people ! We believe better of MAZZINI than to think that he would counsel such aimless, planless, pointless, bootless, blood shed. It is time to have done with these abortive attempts. They only make things worse, and enable the tyrant to add another rivet to the chain of his victim. Remove tht, foreign soldiery from Italy, French and Austrian ; enlighten public opinion; let patriots drop their petty feuds and party spirit ; take any item of improvement, however small; support the con stitutional throne of Sardinia; trust more to the pen than to the sword ; and by such means as these—not indeed, suddenly, but surely, a better state of things will dawn on Italy. THE ROADS AT GREAT CROSBY.—A ratepayer, of Great Crosby, writes to know what Richard Rainford is doing for the salary he receives as surveyor of highways. - He thinks that, as he receives twenty pounds a year for duties as the surveyor, he should do something towards keeping the roa Is in proper repair. As it is, they are now much in the same condition as those of Little Crosby, where the same functionary has charge of t hem. We have hadisome experience lately as to the state of the highways at Great Crosby, and must confess that there is too much reason for complaint. We trust that this hint may be taken, or we shall perhaps have something more to say. CLAYTON HALL; MR. GORDON CUMMING, THE LION HUNTER. We have often stated that this hall is about one of the prettiest houses, for its dimensions, as a place of public entertainment, in Liverpool; and last evening we were present at one of the most interesting illustrative, picto rial, dramatic, and musical entertainments, that we have seen for years. Mr. Gordon Cumming, the great wild animal hunter of the far South of Africa, gave his highly instructive lecture on the exploits and dangers which he encountered in this rarely trodden portion of the globe. If there was no other attraction than the mere recital of the wonderful scenes and hair breadth 'stapes that the lecturer went through during 60 moons, by flood and field, it would be enough to rivet the atten— tion and excite the admiration of every one ; but when we find ourselves surrounded by all sorts of specimens of the extensive variety of wild and noble animals that inhabit this wonderful region; and Rhin, by beautiful pictorial and panoramic representations, we almost feel our selves in the localities described—then we are filled with admiration, and cannot help thinking that the man who has been able to bring such things before us in bold relief, deserves more than ordinary attention, The house is literally crammed with trophies of Mr. Cumming's genius as one of the most wonderful and successful hunters in the world; and alt hough these specimens are deeply interesting to all, yet the clear and comprehensive lecture which he gives adds considerably to the whole. In fact, it is an exquisite resume of the graphic work published by Mr. Cumming some two or three years ago His descriptions are thrillingly effective, and the panoramic scenes true to nature; whilst the musical accompaniments lend a charm to the whole. We have living Africans also who give us a good notion of the manners and customs of that singular race of people. Altogether the affair is novel, and must prove one of the molt popular we have seen in its truly peculiar and original line. In speaking thus in unqualified praise of the entertainment, we may observe that Captain Cumming is happy and naive in his oral illustrations, (he speaks rather hurriedly now and then) and pleases every one. We prophony that this Will prove a telling cxhibitlon—for it partakes of that character—and that the public will agree with us. The house was well filled, and the enthusiasm of the audience was unlimited. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT. YESTERDAY, (BEFORE ME. COMMISSIONER STEVENSON.) In re THOMAS L zwts.— The bankrupt, draper, of Nantwich, applied this day for his certificate. Mr. Evans appe,:red for the assignees, bat was not instructed to offer any opposition. Bis Honour granted a certificate of the second class, but, in considera tion of the irregular manner in which the bankrupt con ducted his busicess, though no fraud was imputed, with suspension for seven months with protection. FATAL STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION AT CHESTER—Two MEN KILLED.—We are indebted tl Messrs. Lee and Nightingale for the following account of a sad fatality at Chester :—About two p.m., on Wednesday afternoon, a steam boiler exploded at the iron works of Messrs Henry Wood, and Co., near Chester. The boiler which was a very fine one, three years old, and furnished with patent plugs of lead, safety valves, &c., was blown through a brick wall 200 yards into a field, where one end of it was deeply buried in the earth. The end of the boiler, which blew out, was carried some 300 feet across the works. Thouati some hundreds of men were at work in the build ing, no one was hart. but the two engineers, a father and son, were killed. The son was found under the debris of the boiler unchanged in appearance, but the father was shockingly mutilated though some distance from the boiler when it burst. PRESCOTT FLOWER AND POULTRY EXIIIBITION.—The Prescot Annual Floral, Horticultural, and Poultry Show took place yesterday, in the usual place of exhibition, a large field at Parkside, a short distance from the town. The floral and horticultural display was Neal to that of any former year, and attracted the admiration of a numerous and fashionable body of spectators. Amongst those who obtained prizes were the Earl of Derby, Mr. Thomas Brocklebank, Mr. J. B. Lea'herbarrow, Messrs Davis and Francis, Mr. E. Brancker, and other gentlemen connected with this locality. The poultry exhibition far surpassed any former show, both as regards quality and the number of pens exhibited. The specimens shown were from the most distant parts of the kingdom, as well as from this district. Amongst the successful exhibitors were Captain Elornhy, of Knowsley, for Spa-Ash and Dorking fowl; Mr. Stretch, of Bootle, and Mr. William Copple, of Eccleston, for the Cochir-China breed ; Mr. W. C. Worrall, of Rice House, Knotty, Ash, for go'don pencilled Hamburghs; and Mr. James Dixon, of Bradford, and Messrs. Bird and Beldon, of Ecclesmon, Bradford, for silver pencilled and silver spangled Hamburghs. The three last-named pens elicited marked admiration. , Polish, game fowl, bantams, ducks, geese, and turkeys, were also exhibited in large numbers. Mr. John Lyon, of Vicarage-place, Prescot, obtained the first prize, and Mr. Edward Worrall, of Knotty Ash House, tile second prize, for the best game cocks. There were thirty-one exhibitors. A. band which was stationed on the ground, enlivened the Proceedings by playing several airs, at • intervals, during the day. CAUTION TO OMNIBUS PROPRIBTORS.—Yesterday one of the conductors of the omnibusses plying along the line of docks, from the south end to the north, was summoned before the sitting magistrates, Messrs. Heath a id Bolton, for having taken a larger number of passengers than he was allowed to do, according to his license, and also with having lAen guilty of insulting and indecorous behaviour, when called upon. Mr. Maoris Goodwin, the complainant, stated that on the evening of the 28th of last month he and his wife went into the omnibus. He was told by the conductor that there was not room for him in the inside, ilvrefore he rode on the top. After they had gone some short distance, several ladies complained that they were so annoyed with the pressure from the over-erowdinc , of the omnibus that they could not go any fur,her, and he called upon the conductor to stop. At that time there were no I,ss than twenty-two persons inside, and some of the females were fainting, from the pressure and the heat. When remonstrated with, the conductor behaved most uncivilly. Two females, who were in the omnibus at the time, were called as witnesses, and they distictly swore that there were no less than twenty-two persons inside the omnibus, some of whom had to stand and others to sit in their neighbour's laps, much to their annoyance and dis comfiture. The Inspector of the omnibusses was called, ind he proved that the omnibus in question was only licensed to carry fifteen passengers inside, and he stated that frequent complaints had been made of the conducto rs over crowding the omnibusses. The evidence of the two female passengers being uncontratlicted, notwithstanding that the conductor attempted to impugn their veracity, the bench inflicted the full penalty of 25s and costs, and ex pressed a hope that it woald lie a caution for the future, INTERESTING CELEBRATION AT SEA. [ER 'M A CORRESPONDENT.] The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's steamer Kangaroo, Captain Jeffrey, arrived in the Mersey yesterday (Taursday), having on board 45 cabin and 130 steerage passengers. During the greater part of the voyage she encountered strong easterly winds ; but, notwithstanding this drawback, she accomplished the passage in a little over thirteen days. A noticeable feature in connection with this trip of the Kangaroo was the honour done to the American passengers by the celebraticn of their great Nations' Festival on the 4th of July. The British and American flags fleeted gaily at the mastheads from early morn until sunset, and the discharge of cannon at intervals brought to the minds of our Ameri can friends the sound which is familiar to their ears in their several cities on each recurring anniversary. The utmost harmony, sociality, and good feeling prevailed throughout the day. Indeed this may be said to have been markedly the case throughout the whole voyage ; and at dinner, (which, by the way, was of the exce lent and abundant character usual on board this line of steamers, and such as would have done ore lit to that prince of cooks, M. Soyer himself,) the occasion was duly honoured. The Captain, of course, presided ; and when the cloth had been removed, and the desert placed upon the table, he introduced the topic of the day in a speech pithy, spirited, and pointed, and which displayed admirable taste, excellent discrimina tion, and sound judgment. He remarked that this was the 81st anniversary of the Declaraion of Independence of the United States, and referred to the friendly feeling which exists between that country and Great Britain. This feeling he earnestly trusted, would continue, as it certainly ought, when our relationship and mutual interests were considered. He proposed, amidst much applause, "The day we commemorate: may peace and unity ever exist between America and Great Britain." The Rev. Mr. RANIUN was called upon to respond. He remarked that the United States had much to be thankful for in the prosperity with which God had favoured her since the declaration of independence. A handful of people had grown to be a mighty nation, spreading over a surface of country whose area was three millions of square miles. With this progress had also spread political and religious privileges. Such attention was paid to education that in a large part of the country, including all the large cities, the poorest child might be gratuitously taught is the public schools. America had also cause for thankfulness in her great men, who were everywhere honoured, and on this day especially their virtues were held up for emulation before the rising generation. This very day the people of Kentucky were inaugurating an imposing monument to her most illustrious son—Henry Clay—(cheers) —whose name was so dear to Americans, as to be perpetuated in hundreds of families throughout the land. It was indeed no insipid cant fact that it happened to be borne by the friend who sat by his side (Professor H. C. Cameron). They loved such names, and they formed a part of the glory of their land. But the United States had also great cause for thankfulness, in the fact of her origin, and in the peaceful relation in which she now stands to Great Britain. The Americans present could trace their parentage, not many generations back, to England, Scotland, and Ireland, and they rejoiced that they were thus bound to the mother country. (Cheers.) He could heartily respond to the hope already expressed by the worthy Captain, that this union might be always enjoyed by those two great countries, and that their united influence, so far as it was good, might be spread over all the world. (Applause.) In conclusion, he gave this sentiment —" The President of the United States and the Queen of Great Britain ; the model Bachelor President, and the model Mother Sovereign." (Enthusiastic cheering.) Professor H C. CAnnuorr, Newstsu Hall, Princton, New Jersey, said he could not refrain from saying a few words on the present occasion. In the name of the Americans on board, he begged to thank the Captain for the kindness which he had extended to them, and the honour which he had this day done their country, and to assure him that this kindness would never be forgotton. In their n a m e , and the name of all his f e ll ow passengers, he — also thanked the Captain for his uniformly kind and gentlemanlike de portment throughout the whole of the voyage. (Cheers ) His constant care for their comfort, his ceaseless vigilance fot their safety, had not escaped their observation, and had been most cordially appreciated. (Cheers,) With warm hearts they wished "Long life, health, and prosperity to Captain Jeffrey." (Great applause.) The Cerreier returned thanks. Dr. Avass, of New York, being called upon, remarked that "young America" throughout the United States considered itself bound to celebrate the 4th of July, by making the largest possible amount of noise, and nobody was contented to have this done by proxy, but each one seemed to take delight in his own pecteiar noise, and to measure his patriotism by this standard alone. This method of celebration was of high authority, and seemed often to extend to adult 4, or such of 'hem as were called upon for oratorical performances. He did not, however, propose, on the present occasion, to amuse himself at the expen , e of the company. He would premise that national devotion was too apt to distort the judgment, and assume an aspect, to disinterested observers, by no means fl titter ing to their boasted spirit of liberality. However appro. priately national laudation and congratulations might grace the festive board at home, an American would be excused front manifesting his usual enthusiasm before an audience representing such diversity of interest and feeling. Standing, as he did, mid-way between the New World and the Old, he could not bat look back upon the former with emotions of pride, and forward to the latter with senti ments of the highest admiration and respect. (Cheers.) Bat he must say there were many reasons why this national anniversary should be a day of profound reflection and meditation to every American. With the vast re sources of former ages at her command, and the accumu lated mass of experience in every science and every art— to which all the nations of Europe had contributed—the true story of America should be looked for in the history yet to be unrolled, in what she may hereafter achieve, rather than what she had already accomplished. He closed by proposing, " The future of America— may it be worthy of her proud and noble ancestry." (Loud cheers.) R. J. Coans, Esq , of the firm of Sabel and Cortis, of Liverpool and New York, said, as an Englishman, he could not permit a previous toast to pass without notice— " The Health of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain" had been proposed by an American citizen, and received by both Americans and British in a highly satisfactory manner. The name of " Victoria" was indeed dear to the heart of every Englishman —(cheer:)—and he had noticed with much pleasure, during his residence in the States , that however much they might differ from their American brethren in a few minor maters, the latter, almost to a man, think and speak well of our beloved Queen. (Renewed cheers.) For this they had cause to be grateful, and the unanimity upon this subject, prevailing between the two countries, doubtless tended to smooth over and allay such ill-feeling as might occasionally arise. He sincerely hoped that the friendly and social spirit which, thus far, had so peculiarly marked their passage across the Atlantic, might continue until they reached the old country, and be an emblem of the future intercourse between tho twu greatest countries in the world, Great Britain and the United States. (Applause.) The health of Captain Jeffrey was proposed by the Rev. Mr. O'Brien, of Missouri, in highly eulc&tio terms, and suitably acknowledged. The " Ladies" were also tested , and W. T. M‘Zuster, Esq., merchant of New York, responded. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE KANGARO O AND FI7LTON, The screw-steamer Kangaroo, which sailed from New York on the 25th ult., arrived here last night, with 200 passengers, and 51,153 dols. in specie on freight. The Fulton, which sailed from the same port on the 27th ult., arrived at Southampton yesterday morning, with 150 passengers, and 600,000 dols. in specie. The news is three days later than our previous advices. From Washineon we learn that the Virginia delegation unanimously protest against the removal of any Virginian now in the diplomatic service, and insist upon the appointment of William F. Ritchie, of The Enquirer, as minister to Naples, in addition. Virginia has now largely over her share. Minister Mason has not resigned, and considers au invita tion to do so an indignity. It is semi-officially announced that certain Mor mons will be hanged for treason, but not punished for polygamy. Gov. Walker's recent manifesto .on the Kansas Constitution, is bitterly resented by Southern politi cians, who denounce him as a renegade and a second Reeder. The following account of a fracas in the State House, Hartford, is given in a telegraphic despatch received at New York : P.t noon on the 24th June, James E.Dunbam of Bridge. port, one of the Bank Commissioners of Connecticut, and William E. Noble, also of Bridgeport, attacked Judge B:•ooks, Chairman of the Bank Committee, in the vesti bale of the State House, calling him an old liar, scoundrel, etc., o❑ account of his position in regard to a bank. Judge Brooks seized Mr. Noble by the collar and thrust him against the wall. He was about to throw him down stairs, when the spectotors interfered and separated the combatants by force. Mr. Dunham fled on the first demonstration from Judge Brooks. A Committee of Investigation was appointed by the Howe, and they are now taking evidence, with a view to bring Messrs. Dunham and Noble to an accountability for assaulting an officer while in the discharge of his duty. A later account of the affair says that Mr. Noble interfered to prevent a a fight between Messrs. Brooks and Dunham, but was not at all involved in the fight. The Committee reported to the House that Mr. Dunham ought to apologise to Mr. Brooks, and also to the House; and this Mr. Dunham is willing to do; but Mr. Brooks, it is under stood, refuses to accept an apology. From Kansas we learn that both branches of the Legislature adjourned sine the at half-past eleven on Saturday night the 13th ult. There was a disposition on the part of the House to enact laws providing for the incorporation of towns, the organisation of counties and townships, &e , to give the free State Government immediate vitality and force ; but the Senate only concurred in the enactments named above. A general desire seemed to exist in the region south of the Kansas river to put the State govern ment into immediateoperation ; and several towns including Lawrence, Hyatt, and Emporia, peti tioned for incorporation. In some of these towns complete squatter organisations already exist. An unanimous feeling was manifested that whenever Kansas does come into the Union it must be under the Topeka constitution. Though Governor Walker was in Topeka during nearly all the session of the Legislature, no move ment was made to interfere with it. We have late dates from New Mexico Three hundred and fifty troops, under Colonel Bondeville, had entered the Gila (Apache country), for the purpose of punishing the Indians for the numerous outrages committed by them upon the whites. The Governor of the Mexican State of Chihuahua also designed opening hostilities against the Indians, and would prevent them taking refugue in Mexican territory.

The following paragraph, evidently official, ap pears in the Paris Pays : " We stated yesterday. in speaking of the insur rectional movement in Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples, that it was the result of a vast conspiracy, the effect of which, had it succeeded, would have been felt beyond the boundaries of the Italian Peninsula. We are now enabled to say that a clue to this great plot, which was neither confined to Italy nor to the person of the (sic) Italian sovereign, has been in the hands of the French government for a fortnight past. It was at Paris itself that this vast conjuration, which has ramifications ex tending even so far as Spain, was to have broken out by the consummation of the gravest of crimes. The French government, which made the discovery on the eve of the ballot, was silent on the subject, because out of its loyalty it desired not to trouble the elections nor to influence the votes. Now the partial explosion at Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples gives some idea of the extent of the conspiracy. Several of the accomplices of Mazzini have been arrested in France, and theirials about to take place will enlighten public opinion as to the enormity of the danger from which Europe hasjusteseaped." The above startling paragraph has apparently relation to the arrests of certain Italians in Paris, mentioned some time ago. The Nouvelliste, of Marseilles, says that two of the insurgents concerned in the attack on the Diamond fort, at Genoa, have been arrested at the bridge of Var, at the moment when they were about to enter France. The Pays, which appears to have been initiated into all the mysteries of the plot, cletties positively that it extended to Rome, and contradicts the statement made by some foreign journals that the Pope's absence from his capital is to be attributed to the apprehension of a rising there. The lndependente, of Turin, of the sth says : "We learn from Genoa that Miss Jessy Meriton White, has been arrested, having refused to quit the country, and declared her intention of undergoing a trial rather than leave. She has, it is said, written to Advo, , :ito Brofferio to ask him whether he would be disposed to undertake her defence. DISTURBANCES IN SPAIN. The contents of the Madrid journals of the 4th, possess a certain degree of importance. A band of from 100 to 150 men, armed with carbines and muskets, and mounted on horses, had invaded — the date is not given —the town of Utrera, which is five leagues from. Seville, and contains a popula tion of upwards of 12,000 souls. They were under the orders of a chief whom they called colonel, and their cry was " Long live the Re public !" The gendarmerie having attempted resistance were overpowered, and the insurgents burned down their barracks, at the same time shooting one) of them ; they then burned down the Town-hall, and with it all the archives ; afterwards they notified that the population must pay a sum of 8,000 piastres in three hours. The sum was paid, and they left for Osana and the Sierra Morena, taking with them twenty-nine horses, of the town or neighbourhood. When the news of these exploits reached Seville, detachments of cavalry were sent in pursuit of the insurgents; but shortly after symptoms of insurrection manifested themselves in the town, and especially at a spot called Don Herman ; the authorities, in fact, learned hat an outbreak was imminent. The journals state that movements have taken place at Malaga, Jaen, Cadiz, and La Carolina; but they give np details, They also state that dis turbances were expected at Badajos. In the Senate, on the debate relative to the levy of 50,000 men, the Duke de Valencia (Narvaez) spoke as follows : It is necessary, as General O'Donnell has remarked, to have a good army to restrain the republican and Carlist revolutionists. Those of both parties are at work. At Desprenaperros, in Andalusia, bands have appeared, but they have Wen routed, and I hope to be able to announce to-morrow that revolts which have taken place at Teruel and Malaga have also been put down. The government knows th it there exists a secret society which thinks it has the means of disturbing public tranquility; but it will not succeed in its object, which is to light up civil war. In order to avoid civil war, let us keep the army in a good state. * * I also hope that all those who opp ose u s will keep in the proper limits, in order not to create difficulties, not even the slightest, to the government. A telegraphic despatch, dated the 7th, says that the insurrection of Utrera had been completely put down, and that twenty of the insurgents had been killed; also that twenty-two others, who had been arrested, were to be shot. BELGIUM AND TURKEY The Turkish minister at Brussels, Monsieur de Kercichove, has roldrossed the following letter to Viscount Vilain XIV., the Belgian Mi n i s t er of 'oreign Affairs : Monsieur le Vicomte,—l have just read with great regret the indirect communication which you have been kind enough to make me through the Moniteur. I cannot refrain from expressing to you all my surprise at it. After the measure adopted by the Sublime Porte towards the minister of Belgium at Constantinople, the Belgian go v er nment had certainly the right to use reprisals on me et=pecidly if your Excellency he,d against me the cause of complaint which you this day express. However, the Belgian Government did not e'lopt that course ; it consi dered that the question was quite personal to M. Blondeel. You yourself addressed to mu these words on the 22nd June last :—" An incident has taken place at Constanti nople, but there has been nothing at Brussels." At pre sent, by a change of system, it is on me that--by a clever arrangement, and a quite new interpretation of facts-- you endeavour to cast the responsibility of the incident. Once again I regret it ; but since your Excellency has thought fit, instead of explaining the conduct of jour agent, to accuse me before the public, you will consider it right, I think, that I defend mysAf bef,re the same tri bunal. I accept the discussion on the conditions you lay down for me ; and since you have so willed it, the public shall judge between 13°. I shall have the honour, at an early day, of replying to you mote completely. In the meantime, I beg your Excellency, to accept new assuranc e of my highest cons id er ation, E DE KELICKUOVO°
