His Honour aid the question depended on the oonstroo-

THE ALLEGED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT

i,iiiiHousz.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY).
This morning Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the
deputy-coroner, resumed, at the King and Queen Tavern,
Three-colt-street, Limehowie, the investigation into the cir-
cumstances of the alleged murder and robbery of Noah
Farnsworth, an engineers' fitter.
After bearing two or three witness', the Coroner summed
up. He said it was now clear that the police did not refine to
aid the deceased when he was attacked. Tbeevideoce was by
no means satisfactory that deceased had been knocked down
and stows thrown at him, for the two witnesses were admit-
tedly drunk. It would be certainly most important that the
men in the cart should be got at. If the evidence of the de-
ceased's companions wu to be believed, deceased was put
into the cart fully dreamed to be taken home, but instead of
that be was apparently stripped of everything, and was left
on the mai at Hackoey Wick the next day.
The jury returned the following verdict, " That deceased
died from the mortal effects of inflammation of the brain,
caused by a fall or by a blow received from some person or
persona unknown, and that at the time that deceased met
with the said injury from a fat or received the aid blow
he was under the influence of drink." The jury also re•
quested that the Coroner would write to the Secre-
tary of State to suggest the propriety of offering a re-
ward for the discovery of the men into whoa cart the de-
ceased was put, es it was at all events evident that deceased
had been subjected to a robbery, if not to violence.

ASCOT RACES.-(THIS DAY).

Thin morning the beauty of the weather, the
state visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Prince:es Of
Wales to Ascot, and the interest attaching to the great
event of the day, bane combined almost to empty London
of the aristocracy and the fashionable world. The French
gentlemen, who appear to be here in larger numbers than
usual, will see to-day at Ascot a magnificent assemblage of
equipage and horseflesh. The roads leading to the heath
hare presented a very gay appearance : post-chaises and
four were very conspicuous, but of course the private studs
of the nobility afforded the most striking spenmens of Eng-
lish display. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of
Cambridge, and the Princess Mary left town this morning
for the heath to inset the Prince and Princess of
Wales at the royal stand. We subjoin all the details which
have reached us up to the latest moment :

The following phrase i 3 especially noticed as prov-

Italian parliament is not as indifferent as the

your Majesty declares that it will maintain its
right to entire unity ; and we believe you, sire,

the case appeariog in the newpspera, a mob of between 400
and 500 people assembled in front of Mr. Mome's house,

police to clear the streets. Yesterday morning another
mob assembled and threw a large number of stones and
broke several windows. The prisoner, who was seen to
throw over 20 stones and break one window, was taken
into custody.
The prisoner said he was very sorry, and hoped he might
be forgiven.

he then had a lot of stones in his pouession. He thought
there bad been more fuse about the meat case than there
was any necemity for.

maker who was fined IW. for having bad meat in his pos.
session, and was answered in the affirmative. Be then
stated that that was so reason why the defendant should
break windows. He should order him to pay the amount
of the damage and • penalty of Is., or in default to he

ITALY.

There have just been communicated to the Italian
Chamber of Deputies 31 diplomatic documents,
consisting of notes, circulars, reports, &c. Although
many of these documents have much interest and
importance, they are not of a nature sensibly to
modify the political position of Italy in relation to
the different cabinets of Europe. Several of them
show that the relations of Italy with the Holy See
are more critical than ever. A note of M. Visconti
Vanasta, after enumerating the vexations of various
ikinds to which Italian travellers and vessels are
subject while in the ports of the Roman
states, where they are compelled to lower the
Italian flag on their entry, threatens recourse to
reprisals to be directed against the vessels
hoisting the pontifical flag. Another docu-
ment demands the extension and confirmation
of the military convention of the 11th of Decem-
ber, 1861, concluded with France for the suppres-
sion of brigandage, and insists on the necessity of
the removal of the ex• King Francis 11. from
Rome. These complaints and demands were
transmitted to the French government, through
the medium of M. Nigra, Minister of Italy. It
is to be regretted that the replies of the cabinet of
the Tuileries are not published in this collection.

creating a disturbance and moulting the police at Cremorne-
prams.
All the professional gentlemen were there as before, with
the exception of Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., who had under-
stood his presence would not be required that day.
The defence set up was much the Name in each case. The
defendants had taken no part in the disorders, it was
alleged, and had not gone to Cremona.) with any other
object than that of peacefully and legally amusing them-
selves. It was intimated at the same time that counter-
charge@ would be made against the police for assault, and
that one of the witnesses ought to be indicted for perjure.
Mr. Arnold was urged to dispose of the case at once, but be
said that as there was a conflict of testimony he must send
the defendants for trial at the Middlesex Sessions.

It was then arresged that the defendants should attend

a wicket. They had 100 runs to get to win, and it appeared
from the favourable commencement of their innings that
they would prove successful, but the result showed other-
wise, for, with the exception of Silcock, Street, and BignsA
who severally batted well, and are deserving of being noted
by their respective counties, no stand was made, Grundy

It was, however, a well contested match, the "Colts" playing

THE GUILD OF LITERATURE AND ART.

The Guild of Literature and Art-started some
twelve yeses ago by Sir E. Buiwer Lytton, Mr. Charles
Dickens, sod a knot of distinguished authors and artists—
has at length shaken off the errors of its youth, and sprung
into a new, and we hope • vigorous existence. Whatever
new faults may be laid upon its shoulders by enemies, what-
ever mistakes, more or less pardcciable, its executive may
make, it will no longer be jocularly known as " The Sleeping
Beauty." It has turned its back boldly upon that benevo-
lent pert of its design which was intended to make its
members insure their lives, and subscribe a certain annual
sum to • sickness fund, and it now names forward simply ea
ac association of literary men and artiste, with an entrance
fee and annual subscription of the moat moderate amount.
This alteration having been adopted eta meeting of members
held on Monday, at which Messrs. Chides Dickens, Charles
Knight, John Oxeoford, John Hollingshead, W. Moy
Thomas, J. R. Robinson, E. Blanchard, Robert Chambers, W.
H. Wills, Charles Wordsworth, Charles Heade, and Stirling
Coyne, were preempt, the Guild is now nothing more than
en ordinary society of literary men and artists, started
for mutual assistance, with a certain capital accumulated
by the exertions of its original members. This capital,
concerning which so many mysterious allusions and inuendoee
have long been circulated in that very uncharitable section
of society knows as the literary world, is still intact, and

A fair opportunity is now offered to all literary men and
artists who are worthy of the name to forma really strong

found to co-operate for a good and practical object.

RESTRICTIONS UPON THE PRESS IN
PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, .Irrn 2.

The official Staatsanzeiger of to-day publishes a
royal decree dated the Lt inst., based upon article
63 of the constitution, and countersigned by the en-
tire ministry.

The decree empowers the administrative autho-
rities to probibit temporarily or altogether, after
two warnings, the publication of newspapers whose
attitude is upon the whole dangerous to the public
welfare. The ministry is also authorised to forbid
the introduction of foreign newspapers in Prussia
upon similar grounds, when thought advisable.

THE POLISH QUESTION.

VIENNA, 117141 2.

NkST INTELLIGENOR.

PRUSSIA.

Complete ignorance still prevails at Berlin as to
the intentions of the ministry. The feudal partY
advises the government to issue decrees filling up
the void left by the premature closing of the legis-
lative session. For that purpose it cites an article
of the constitution which authorises the govern-
ment, solely in cases in which—the chambers not
being assembled—the maintenance of public safety,
or the necessity of remedying an extraordinary
calamity shall urgently call for it, to issue decrees
having the force of law, which are not contrary to
' the constitution, and which must be submitted to
the chambers for approval. It is under She pretext
afforded by this article of the oonstitution, which
was only intended to apply to a state of war, that
the ministers have just made the attack on the
press described elsewhere in one of Mr. Reuter's
telegrams.

THE SUNDAY CLOSING OP PUBLIC-HOUSES.

Yesterday, a deputation waited upon Sir George
Grey, at the Hams-office, with reference to the bill intro-
duced by Mr. Somas for the Sunday dosing of public-houses. I
The deputation included Lord Redstock and the following
members of parliament :—Messrs. Somas, Baxley, /foretell,
C. Turner, W. Ewart, Hadfield, Baines, and Lawson ; and
also Mr. Alderman Leeman, of York ; Mr. Alderman H.
Heywood, Mayor of Manchester; Mr. John Cropper, of
Liverpool ; Menne. J. and W. Rand, of Bradford ; Mr.
Handel Gingham, of Bristol ; and many other county and
borough magistrates,clergymen,and mimstersof London, and
from various parts of the country. Mr. Somes introduced to
the Home Secretary Mr. Wade, of Hull, who said that the
movement which !ladled to the introductionot thebillbefore
the House of Commons for the doilies of public-houses on
Sandsys originated with the working men of Hull. He
affirmed from personal knowledge that, r far from feeling
that this measure would curtail their privileges, the work.
Mg men felt that their elevation as a class depended more an
this measure than on anything else government or society
could do for them. The originators of the movement were
not all teetotallers, and it was quite a mistake to suppose
that this was a teetotal movement. Neither was it a Sab-
batarian movement ; and indeed, amongst those who
commenced it were men of all shades of thought on the
drinking and the Sabbath question. In many towns the
bill had been supported sot only by petitions and the
votes of public meetings, which, with one or two excep-
tions, had been unanimous, but by expressions of opinion
elicited by a canvass of the householders, in every
instance systematically and conscientiously made. As
a body the licensed victuallers themselves were in favour
of the measure, and in Hull 176 licensed victuallers and
beenellers had signed a petition in its favour ; and, geoe-
rally, when opposition was offered by licensed victuallers,
it wu owing to the influence of the Licensed Victuallers'
Association, rather than to the personal disapproval of she
publicans. Mr. Ilonfall, M.Y.introdnced a deputation
from Liverpool, stating that he bad presided over a meeting
in that town in support of the bill, which was attended by
4,000 persons, and would have consisted of 20,000 persons
' had the room beau large enough. Several other gentlemen
having adduced statistics showing the favour with which
the meuure was viewed in provincial towns, Sir G. Grey
said he was much obliged to the deputation for the info,.
;nation they had given him. One of the most gratifying
facts was that mach a feeling prevailed amongst the work-
ing dames in favour of the bill. If that feeling were as
deep as it was represented to be, there was no reason to
doubt that, whatever parliament might do, that feeling was
the beet augury of a great social improvement.
