THE POPE AND THE KING OF ITALY.

The Paris papers publish the following proteet of the
Pope against the awmuiptiou of the! title of "King of
Italy" by King Victor Emmanuel
"Rove. April 15.
. _ . . . .

" A Catholic King, forgetful of every religions prin•
eiple, in contempt of all right, trampling under foot ali
law, after having by degrves deapuiled the august chief
of the Ctitlaolit Church of the largest and moat flou-
rishing part of his lawful pcsamrdona, nr.w takes the title
of ' King of Italy.' By this he wiabes to pot the real
on the sacrilegious usurpations which he has already
accompliahed, and which his Govenmenthaa manifested
the intention of completing at the expense of the patii-
mony of the Holy See.
" Although the Holy Father had solemnly protetted
against ea h fresh enterprise by which his sovereignty
was attacked, he is not the leas obliged to make a fresh
protest against the act by which a title is assumed the
object of which is to legitimise the iniquity of no many
previous ones.
It would be superfluols to mention hers the sanctity
of the poriession of the patrimony of the Church aud
the right of the Sovereign Pontiff over that patrimony
—a right incontestably recognised at all times and by all
Governments; and whence it follows that the Holy
Father can serer admit the title of ' King of Italy,'
which the King of Sardinia arrogates to himself, since
that title is oppo•ed both to juatice and tai the sacred
property of the church. Not only can he not recognise
it, but, still more, lie protests in the most absolute and
formal manner againat such an usurpation.
" The undersigned Cardinal Secretary of State begs
your Excellency to make known to your Government
this act, made in the name of His Holiness, feeling
snored that it will admit the absolute propriety of it,
and that by joining in such a determination it will con•
tribute by its induratee to bring shout an end to that
abnormal state of things which Mos for no lung • time
desolated the unfortunate Italian Peninsula. It is with
theee feeling*, he.,

FRIDAY.

Lord Lyveden in presenting a petition from the in-
habitants and taxpayers of Calcutta and Bengal Proper,
complaining of the system of government in India, gave
at the same time a brief summary of its contents. The
petitioners, he said, couiplsined that while financial
embarrassment in India had atopped public works a
considerable addition had been made to the Mysore
grant, relative to whiHi the Indian Government had
refined to simply information ; that the military ex-
penditure was excessive, that the system of account'
was vicious, and that the whole of the Indian reveries
was subject to the pleasure of the Secretary of State for
India. Having interspersed his epitome of the petition
with comments, Lord Lyveden condemned the Legiale-
tire Cuuro.it, and concluded by asking when the me&
sure of the Government relating to the Legislative
Council of India would he introduced.
Lord De Grey and Ripon eould not exactly say when
the Bill alluded to by Lord Lyveden would be intro-
duced, but knew it to be in • forward state of prepara-
tion. He than briefly eaplsined the reasons which had
dictated. the grant to the Ilysore Princes, sod defended
the Legislative Council from Lord Lyveden's strictures.
The Duke of Argyll briefly explained the reasons
which induced the O'overnusent of 1863 to bring for-
ward the Ant for &Rimini. the Legislative Council.

of the Legislative Council as at present constituted was
inconsistent with the honour, the dignity, and the
strength of the Government of India.

fel to British power in India than the continuance

subject was allowed to drop, and

DREADFUL MURDER.

PLTMOUTLI, Sandi), April 24.

A deliberate murder, attended with circumstances of
great ferocity, took place at Plymouth late on Saturday
night, the parties to the shocking affair being all Irish
seamen. The Cork Steamship Company'. vessel Prue-
siao Eagle was lying in the Great W astern Docks, and
on Saturday evening three of her seamen—John Hart,
Cornelius Molina, and Daniel Harrington—had been
on thorn drinking, returning to the vessel in the even-
ing in • sinui-iutoxicated state. Shortly after they re-
turned some words and • wrangling took plus between
Harrington and Moyina. Subsequently a violent
quarrel and a fight ensued, and they fought for ionic
time, lloyina proving himself by far the best man.
This affair then seemed to have beat closed, but Hart,
apparently not liking the torn things had taken, said
he could fight fdoyina, but whether any blows did
actually take place between Moyina and :lint at present
appears to be unknown. Moyina then sat down on a
, seat and leaned against a bulkhead, the whole affair
taking place in the ship's forecastle. While he was
in that position Hart, without apparently any farther
provocation, rushed at him, struck him three violent
blows on the nose and threw his body on him. While
Moyins was thus eying back strugg;ing under Hart, in
a half itupefied state, Hurt put his hand in his own
pocket, drew forth • claspknife, which he unclasped,
drove it into Moyina's body, and then, coolly wiping it
on the back part of his own trousers, replaced it in his
pocket. The knife took effect in Moyina s heart, killing
him instantly. A boy present gave an alarm and a
quartermaster of the ship coming down, ordered Hart
to give him the knife, which he did. The quarter-
master then placed a bag under the deceased's bead,
and left him there, believing him to be only exhausted
by the struggle, and not examining as to what injury
the knife had done. Hart and the quartermaster
returned on deck. The murder was committed between

11 and 12 o'clock. but the fatal nature of the affray was
not dive...tired until about 3 o'clock the following morn•
tug. The deceased, appearing not to recover, was ex•
amined by some of bin abipwates, and his death
diecovered. In the interim Hart Lad asked and got
back the knife from the quartermaster. and it cannot
now be found. On Sunday morning Hart was taken
into custody by the Plymouth police on • charge of
murder, awl Harrington was apprehended, charged
with assaulting the cleorased. The quartermaster and
boy have also been detained as vntnesess, but the vessel
left Plymouth on Sunday moroing to convey troops
from Bristol to Cork. Hart is 25 years of age, and has
• wife soil child at Cork. Harrington is 23. 'The
deceased was also • young man, and has left • wife and
child at Cork.

DEATH OF THE REV. HARRY FARR
YEATMAN, LLB.

It is with extreme regret we have to announce
the demise of this gentleman, which melancholy '
event occurred on Monday, April 22, at his residence,
Stock House, Sherborne. The deceased gentleman
had been for some time in a failing state of health,
which had latterly prevented him from attending as ,
Chairman of Quarter Sessions, a duty which he per-
formed for many years in such a manner as to gain
the esteem of his brother magistrates, and the confi-
dence and respect of the county. Indeed, of him it
may be said that he wasan honest, upright man, and
possessed those necessary, but rare qualifications of
business babas and legal acumen, joined with a
uourtesy of demeanour, that made him to be looked
up to as an example both in public and private life.
It was hoped by his friends that the disorder
under which he lAA been labouring, would event-
ally yield to those remedies which his medical
attendant had recourse to, but towards the end of
the previous week a relapse ensued, and his illness
became serious. Mr. Turner, of Sherborne, found
him much worse on Sunday, and be gradually sank,
remaining in an uncoucious state till the following
morning, when about ti o'clock—

The brace heart ceased to beat,
Awl o'er the pallid face
Death threw her icy mantle.

Of the late Mr. Yeatman it may truly be said
that no man in his position more deeply studied the
various Acts of Parliament bearing on criminal
jurisprudence ; indeed, as many of his brother
magistrates can testify, he could quote chapter
and section of those passed in the reigns of the
Georges, and was even intimately acquainted with
those enacted in Queen Ann's time. This legal
knowledge made him especially qualified for the
position he occupied as presiding magistrate, and
it redounds no little to his honour that for more than
forty years he has been most constant and per•
serving in his magisterial duties, and that during
the time he has filled the office of Chairman he has
only been absent three times, and then through
personal or domestic affliction. With a mind
I adapted for the most part to study the dry
I intricacies of legal lore, it is not to be wondered that
Mr. Yeatman's speeches were more discursive and
diffuse than brilliant, yet so much was he respected for
his honesty of intention, that even those who differed
from him not only give him credit for the hest
intentions, but were eager listeners to his remarks.
As Chairman of Quarter Sessions his Charges to the
Grand Jury, were on a variety of topics, in which
he enlarged especially on those which at each
particular time were the theme of public considers.
non, in connection with the criminal state of the
county. Nor were the lighter and more pleasing
paths of literature and the Muses neglected by him,
for in his younger days he published a poem,
entitled Brent K moll, in .which lie depicted in a
very happy style some of the most striking scenes in
Son,ersetshire,--" Alfred's Tower" "St. Michael's

Hancock, and Devenish ; Councillors Haggett. Hart.
lett, Drew, Luce, Roberts, Thomas, Hare, Joseph
lizard, Devenish. John Tigard, and Harper.
Mr. ATLING called attention to the disgraceful state
of the i•rouienade arising from the unsightly dead trees
and fencing round them. They were a great eyesore,
and were laughed about by visitors. The subject
after some discussion wan referred to the committee.
Mr. ilßtlt also called attention to a sewer near St.
John's Church, connected with the house of the Rev.
Mr. Stevenson, and the Inspector of Nuisances was
instructed to give notice to tho proprietor to remedy
the same as it was not only a great nuisance to per-
sons passing along that way, but also prejudicial to the
health of the inhabitants of that neighbourhood.
A police rate, amounting to £3OO for the borough
for the ensuing six months, was ordered to be made.
The Ctrue read a letter from Sir Georg C. Lewis,
the Home Secretary, to the effect that he had laid
before the Queon the letter of condolence to Her
Majesty on the occasion of the death of the late
Duchess of Kent from the Mayor and Town Council
of Weyinouth, and that Her Majesty had been graciously
pleased to accept the same.
The nest business was the appointment of the Licen-
sing Committee for the current year. The names of
Messrs. Roberts, Hancock, Hare, Bartlett, Thomas,
Drew, H. Decenish, and lizard were put down for that
office.

An application was read from Mr. Crickmay for leave
to take sand from the backwater for the purpose of
making bricks.
Mr. ATLING said that knowing this question was to
be brought before the Council, he had prepared a resolu-

FRIDAY.

On the motion for adjournment till Monday,
Cieneral Peel asked what steps the Government bad
taken to ascertain whether the report of the murder of
Captain Brabalon, of the Royal Artillery, by the Chinese,
was true.

Lord R. Cieil called attention to the outrages on
Captain Macdonald at Boon, and asked if it was in-
tendad to take any steps for the prukction of British
sohjeeta travelling in Prussia.
Mr. Gregory reverted to the subject of the reported
murder of Captain Hraheaon, and stated facts tending
to throw discredit upon the story of his decapitation.
Mr. Maims went beck to the case of Captain
Macdonald, repeating the particulars, and inveighing in
indignant terms against the gross insults offered to that
gentleman.
Lord Palmerston, in reply to General Peel, said he
•Jr wpatliized with the relatives of (Midair' Brabason in
their anxiety to ascertain Ni. real truth as to his fate,
hut he was afraid the only consolation left to them was
that he had escaped the lingering and barbarous
torments to which his unfortunate comrades had hems
',objected. At the same time, lie assured the Howse
that Lord J. Russell had taken every means that could
ha enTioveit to clear up the watery. On the ere of
teptasu the biota ware eSele4l in the papers
Mid before the House, and he mold only gay that be
did not think stronger eapressions could be used than
theme in which Lord J. Rumen had stigmatised the
conduct of the officials. The opinion he bad
aimed was tbsi tin Wok proceed*" wen mod

t;tiding

unfriendly towards a Government in alliance with
Prussia. fie (Lord Palmerston) was astonished that a
Government like that of Prosaia, looking at the circum-
stance. of the case, should not at once have adopted the
course due to their own honour, and said they entirely
condemned the conduct of their officials, and
that they wore ready to offer every reparation Capt.
Macdonald could reinire.
Mr. liiiinaird called attention to the returns on the
subject of flogging children and others in prison, and a
desultory debate followed, in the Lourse of which
Sir G. Lewis gave explanations as to the classes of
cases in which flogging was inflicted, tool the persona
who sanctioned the putih.liiiient. The subject, lie said,
was under the consideration of a committee sitting upo
sta ire. _ . .

The motion for adjournment was agreed to.
Sir J. Pakington moved for a copy of all COLIIIIItMiCA-
tions made to or by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
since the decease of the late Bishop of Worcester with
reference to • transfer of the Episcopal residence from
Hartlebury Castle to Worcester, and of all minutes
mid proceedings of the Board relating thereto, which
was ordered.

After NMI. further business, the House adjourned at

THE SWALLOW.

lam fond of the swallow—l learn from her flight,
Had I skill to improve it, a lesson of love :
How seldom on earth do we see her alight!
She dwells in the skies, she is ever above.
It is on the wing that she takes her repose,
Suspended and poised in the regions of air;
'Tis not in our fields that her sustenance grows,
It is winged, like herself, 'tie ethereal fare.
She comes in the spring, all the summer she stays,
And dreading the cold, still follows the sun—
So, true to our love, we should covet His rays,
And the place where he shines not, immediately shun.
Our light should be love, and our nourishment prayer;
It is dangerous food that we find upon earth ;
The fruit of this world is beset with a snare,
In itself it is hurtful, as vile in its birth.

'Tis rarely if ever she settles below,
But when for her young she is building a nest ;
Were it not for her brood, she would never bestow

A thought on a place not desigu'd for her rest.

Let us leave it ourselves—'tis a mortal abode—
To bask every moment i'2 infinite love;
Let us fly the dark winter, and follow the road,
That lea& to the day-apring appearing above.

Mr. Macnamara was for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Hawkins, QC., for the defendant.
This was an action on an award, which resulted
in a verdict for the plaintiff. The objections raised
against the validity of the award we. that the time
for making it had not been duly enlarged, according
to the terms of the submission. The jury, however,
decided in the affirmative.

He therefore proposed " That Mr. Crickuiay be per.
nutted to take sand from the Backwater on the paying
of 6.1 per ton for the sand removed by him, but subject
to • revocation of such permission by the Mayor, at one
day's notice. •
Mr. Derr:mit seconded the motion, sad it was car.
rued unanimously.
The MAYOR said the nest business was to take into
consideration a communication from the «Alecto, of
the wharfage and harbour dnes, and the pmpriety of
rescinding the resolutions on the minute took rela-
ting to steninen. He read the letter which siet forth
that the collistor had made application tor MO fan
two steamers plying between Weymouth and Pad-
land, according to his Matructions contained in thw
resolution of the last meeting, and that Mr. Comas
had positively refused to pay the amount.
After considerable discussion in which it was threat-
ened that if the demand was not acceded to the reso-
lutions would be rescinded and the act of parliament
enforced, Mr. Cozens was sent for, and it WU Arran-
ged to pay the amount at once.

STATE OF TRADE.

LZICEISTZE, April 24.—The hosiery trade remains
quiet, and there has not been an average amount of
business doing this o eek. Home orders are by no means
prolific, and very little is doing for shipping. At Lough-
borough and the adjacent country districts trade is dull.
Yarns are not altered in value. Wools are firm,
and high prices continue to be realised for supenor
sorts. . . .

NOTTINGHAM, 24th.—There is no improvement to
notice in the state of the lace trade. Cotton goods are
not so much in demand as they were • week ago. Very
little is doing in plain nets, and fancies are a very dull
sale. Home buyers purchase sparingly of cotton goods,
and for export the business doing m extremely small.
There is a fair demand for silk lace articles suitable for
trimmings, and, as the fashions sontintie to be more in
favour of laces, future prospects are considered good.
Manufacturers in all departmente are producing cauti-
ously, in order that stocks may not accumulate. lii
hosiery there has not been much doing this week; the
home trade is dull, and very little is doing for export.
Yarns ars without important change.

TEE TINE GUN AT EDINECIGH.—OR Tuesday the
operation of suspending the telegraph cable between the
Castle and Um Calton-hill, by means of which the
time-gun at the Castle is to be discharged gime!.
laneously with the faU of _Um time-ball on Nelson's
Monument, wee enoceesfully accomplished.
The distance—three-quartos of a mile—is, we believe,
the greatest over which • telegraph has been yet swung,
and the wire is made to aver diagonally the deep valley
which separates the Old and New Town of Edinburgh.
The wire, which consists of seven twists, was manu-
factured by and pat up under the superintendence of
Mr. Newell, the eminent telegraph engineer. The
turret at the Castle and the window in Nelson's monu-
ment, from whirls the wire is suspended, are both about
437 feet above the level of the sea, and the wire in its
coarse has been allowed to delete about 150 feet, the
lowest dip being immediately above the railway station.
The tension of the wire thus deflected is less than one-
thirdof the breaking strain. The clock at the Castle,
which is to be controlled through the telegraph wire
by the clock at the Royal Obserractory, Calton-hill, is
being fitted up Deride the embrasure of the gun, as also
the apparatus by which, at 1 o'clock daily, the gun is
to be discharged.
BUENTIELAND.—FATAL OCCURRENCE—EarIy on Tues-
day morning the body of • man, *mused George Minnie,
and belonging to Perth, was dboovered lying on the
railway • little to the eastward of this town. The man
was found lying between the rails quite dead, Ids head
being severely cut and bruised. It is supposed that he
must have been knocked down by the engine of the
goods train leaving this town for the north at one a.m.
His clothes were all soaking with wet, giving evidence
of • determined suicide, that before committing himself
to the mercies of the rail, he had attempted drowning.
He had come from Perth the previous evening without
• ticket, and being detained on default of payment, bad
wondered away, and was thus found in the morning.

Sacred Tor." ic.

During the time of the Reform agitation, Mr.
Yeatman was a hearty supporter of a more liberal
representative system, and delivered some telling
and elaborate speeches in favour thereof; but was at
a later date equally as firms supporter of Protection;
which, though at the first sight appearing as •
contradiction in his political creed, may nevertheless
be well understood; for like many others in those
days— now, happily, reseed and gone for ever—the
idea of Free '1 rade was viewed by him as some
dreaded evil, which, if carried out, would produce
ruin and misery to the agricultural interest. 'lhough
thee, anticipations have not been realized, we fully
believe that Mr. Yeattnan, with many others, acted
honestly up to their convictions, and now that the
public have to mourn his loss, we feel they will give
him credit for the best intentions; indeed since
his declining health bas prevented him from attending
public meetings, the hearty manner in which his
name has been received has given sufficient proof of
the high esteem in which be was held by men of all
shades of political opinion.
Mr. Yeatman's last appearance in public was when,
after going through on the previous day the business
of the County, he addressed a lengthy charge to the
Grand Jury at the Epiphany Sessions, so that up
to almost the latest period of a long and useful life
his native county has had the benefit of his untiring
and unrvilazing efforts on its behalf, and we feel sure
we only chronicle the opiaion of all parties when
we say, that his decease has caused a vacancy which
fow, if any. can fill.
The late Rev. Harry Farr Yeatman was a native
of East Brent, in the county of Somerset, and was
born on the Ist of February, 1766, his father being
the Rev. Harry Farr Yeatinan, formerly Fellow of
Balliol College, a. D., Rector of Kilve, Vicar of East
Brent, and Prebendary of Wells, who died in 1796,
his eon being then only ten years of age.
The remains were interred in the burial ground
adjoining Stock House Monday last.
