solemnly adeiocarely declare that I was and am well &c-

of death in Neweste prison, and lay that the mid Fria
Muller lodged with me for *even weeks immediately prow
ding the 14th day of July, 1864 and that during all that
time I observed his clothing and hat. I remember the 9th
of Jo/y aforesaid—on that day the prisoner, Frans Muller,
wore a dark suit of clothes and hie usual hat. On the
morning of the day following the 9th day of July aforesaid
• breakfasted with me sod my husband at our usual hour,
and be then wore precisely the Name clothes that be wore on
the previous day, and such clothed were clean and spotless
from reed, dirt, stein, or anything calculated to excite at-
tention, and had no appearance whatever of having been
washed or cleaned otherwise than by the usual careful
brushing they always received from Franz who was
very particular and clean In his person sad clothing. In
the evening of the same 10th day of July be went out with
my husband ad myself, ad wore the same hat as he had on
the preceding day so far as it could be observed by any ma
walking with, or talking to him—had he had a newer-
lookieg hat or a differeot looking hat from that be
usually wore I should have noticed it. I have not
seen the hat which on the trial wee said to be his,
but from what I have read and heard concerning such
hat I should at once say that each hat was not the hat he
usually wore, or indeed ever had won while lodging with
me. Frans Muller never wore a hat which in any way sp-
preached a shabby hat, but was carotid of his hat and
always protected them from rain with an umbrella.

LAMBETH.

JoAsSonisterviik, late a sine manufacturer is Battersea-
fields, wee finally examined before Mr. Elliott on • charged
uttering nine bills of exchange, amounting to about 1,0001.,
well knowing them to be forgeries.
Mr. Thomas Lewis, • coachbuilder and harness-maker, of ,
High-street, Clapham, said be had known the prisoner for
some time as • nix manufacturer, and believed him to be a
man of respectability seri property. At different Units be
(the prisoner) brought him the six bills of exchange which
he produced, and representing them to be trade bills re-
ceived by him in the course of his business he discounted
them, and gave him his cheques for the amount. One
of the tails for 141. was draws by the prisoner on
John Fouler, of South-place, Norwood, sod pur-
ported to have been accepted by that person, but
on its becoming due no such person could be found at the
address given, and on being told this the prisoner said it
was his uncle's fault, not his. The acceptors of the ether
five bills could sot be found at the addressee indicated, and
in fact were merely imaginary personages.
Mr. Smith, • corn chandler and bill discounter
Kennington-lane, produced three bills which his had
discounted for the prisoner, the names of the ac-
ceptors of which, as in three held by the last
witness, were also fictitious ; sad it further ap-
peared that the prisoner's practice had been to make the
bills payable st the residence of those who discounted them,
so that as long as he was enabled to take them up there was
no necessity for looking after the acceptor.
City constable 455 said he took the prisoner into custody
in the City on the charge of Mr. Lewis, and the only reply
he made to the charge was "I received no benefit by it.
Police-constable John Pope, 52 P, said he bad made
diligeut inquiries, and could not find out any one of the
acceptors of the nine bills produced.
The prisoner, who offered nothing in defeuos, was fully
committed on both charges.

ITALY.

(FROM OFR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
TURIN, Nov. G.
The generosity of the King is well known. As
soon as he was informed of the sad state in which
Signor Sella had found the finances of the coun-
try, he was so painfully impressed that it is re-
ported he said :—" Why did Minghetti con-
ceal from me the real state of things 1 Did he
not know that I, for my part, am ready to make any
sacrifice 1" He then summoned Count Nigra, the
Household Minister, to his presence, and begged him
to write to Signor Sella that he intended to renounce
the sum of 3,000,000f5. on the civil list. The fol-
lowing is the letter the count addressed to the Minis-
ter of Finance :

His Majesty was pleased at your having acquainted
him with the reel st►ts of the finances of the
state. The King is much pre-occupied with tits
state of things arising from such a financial situation, and
with the new burdens whioh must naturally fall upon the
country. It is for this reason that his Majesty oan but
approve your plan of introducing the strictest economy into
the administration of the State. Being desirous of oontri-
bitting on his part to this necessary measure, and moved by
the sentiments of that spontaneous generosity which in all
times has regulated his actions, he has determined to re-
nounce the sum of 3,000,000f5. on the civil list of 1865, and
subsequent ones, until better times arrive. It is also his
Majesty's intention that some of the buildings belonging to
the crown should be left at the disposition of the ministry
of finances, to be used or disposed of as It thinks best. I
beg you to communicate this royal decision to parliament.—
I am, So., Maas.

A melancholy occurrence took place at Athy

fire of three persons, and the ►erious if not fatal injury of
two others. A cab:n in the outskirts of the town, canalising
seven persons, took fire about midnight. As the roof was
thatched with straw, it was soon a mass of flame. A brave
fellow named Curry rushed into the house, and, with the
aid of his son, rescued five of the inmate'. The other two
escaped. 01 the five saved three died before morning.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before the Assistant Judge.)
PRESENTATION OP TH6 GELOID JUST.

..... _ _
On the grand jury coming into court to preset the lut
batch of true bills,
The Foreman said it 1.0411 the desire of his brother jurymen
that be should bring ander his lordship's notice the ore of
Sarah Fleming, against whom a charge had been preferred by
the authorities of the parish of St. Pancras of obtaining
or loaf of bread and 3s. in moor, with intent to defraud,
but they b►d ignored the bill, sod it was such a bill as ought
never to have been sent to them. The poor woman had
undergone a most unmerited imprieriment for a fortnight,
and it wan the opinion of the grand jury that she ought to
have some compensation mails to her for the punishment
she had received. It appeared that her father and mother
had received a ticket which entitled them to relief, but
when the father died the mother was still entitled to relief,
and when the prisoner went for the relief for her mother,
because the father bad died, she was charged with having
obtained money and bread by Woe pretences. The grand
jury looked upon this as s very scandalous case.
The Aristaot Judge read the depositions, and asked the
Foreman if these facie had been brought before them by the
shiners'?

The Foreman said he could tat exactly my, u they bad
had a very heavy calendar to deal with ; but it appeared to
the grand jury that as the father and mother were entitled
to assistance, there was no reason because the father bad
died that it should have been refused to the mother.

The Aseirtant Judge said be was desirous of kiloliter if all
the facts were brought under their notice, for had they beeo,
this case ought to be represented to the highest psrochial
authorities.

sae attempted to hang herself to the bed post. She had
.reared the rope to the bed post, then fastened it round her
heck, and jumped off the bedstead, and but for his promptly
itting the rope she would have been strangled.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the husband whether she had ever
stempted such a thing before.
The husband said she attempted • similar thing about
twelvemonths ago, when the was brought before the magis-
trate at this wart, who advised him to take her home with

Gould have thought there was no occasion to have struck

The prisoner said she was greatly in fault.
Mr. Tyrwhitt eked the prisoner whether she drank, and
'he said she did.

The husband said his wife was an habitual drunkard.
Mr. Tyrwhitt again observed that the prisoner had been
roughly used. He would remsnd her for a week, and hoped
she would attend to what was rd to her or she would

WRECK OP THE BLACK BALL LINE OP PACKS?
SHIP GOLDBN AO tit OPP DUNOBNESS.-SSTL
MATED LOSS OP E 700,000.

We reported briefly in our impression of Saturday
the wreck of the Golden Ago off Dungeness on the previous
day. It appears that during a heavy snow storm on Friday
morning this well-known ship, Captain Park, oa her home.
ward voyage from Madras to London, with a cargo on board
valued at 200,0001., wee driven ashore in the Channel, fiat
Dungeness, where she filled, and is expected to become a
taw wreck. The Golden Age was formerly an Amer can
ship, whence she wee bought into the service of Messrs.
Beings and Co., the owners of the Black Ball fleet. Owing
to the valuable cargo which she shipped at Madras,
her arrival in the Channel hed,been anxiously looked for,
and the first th►t was heard of her being off the coast was
on Thursday.
A foreign gall of put into Dover in the oourse of that
day is a damaged state, and reported that she had been
to into by a large ship called the Golden Age, off the
North Ferelaod, the vessel being in tow of a tug. The
next that was heard of her was her being seen on Friday
morning off Dungeness by the coast guard. How she got
back so far has not been clearly reported, but it is thought
that the tog might not have had sufficient power to keep
the ship in tow against the driving wind and snow, sod
she drifted down Channel and went sabots on the Roar
Beak opposite Ns. 2 Battery, near Dungenees. When
first discovered she had the main and moon masts cut
away. A heavy sea was breaking over the ship, ant
it was observed that many on board, crew and passenger,
were in a most; critical position. The Dungeness
lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat frestitution,
immediately put off to the serene of those who were on board.
A high ma was rolling in ever the beach, and it was with
difficulty that the boat could be got through the surf. The
boat, however, was at length fairly launched, and the men
in the moot courageous manner succeeded in ,reaching the
stranded ship and taking off the Trinity-house pilot, the
captain, some puungers, and several of the crew—in all
amounting to 22. Previous to the life-boat reaching the
Teasel a pilot cutter, called the Queen, had managed to get
aloopide the ship and rescued three of the passengers and
some of the crew, who were landed in the course of the
day at New Romney. When the crew abandoned her the
ship was about a quarter of a mile from the chore, and the
next tide filled her with water. A heavy gale has been pre-
veiling ever since from the N.N.E., with a tremendous surf
breaking in on the shore, and it is feared that the ship
will go to pieces. The cargo, as before stated, was moat
valuable, and comprised cotton, silk, indigo, and other
Feist Indian produce, and was insured at Lloyd's and the
different insurance companies for 200,0001.

ASSEMBLY OF THE 00IINCIL-GENERAL
OF THE LOIRE.
SPEECH OF M. DE PERSIGNY.
ST ETERTNE, Auarter 24 Emma.

A banquet took place here this evening, in oon-
sequence of the usembly of the Council-General for
the Department de la Loire.

The Duke de Persigny, who presided, proposed
the health of Napoleon 111., " the founder of liberty
in France." The duke's speech was a com-
plete review of the theory of the imperial consti-
tution. He showed the form of liberty to vary with
every free people. "The present physiognomy of
liberty, properly so called," said M. de Persigny,
"maybe recognised by the striking signs of the soli-
dity and duration of governmenta which it founds,
and above all by the passion it inspires for great
things." M. de Persigny then demonstrated that
the political institutions of England are
not adapted for France, "it not being
possible," he continued, " for authority or
liberty to remain in the hands of one class, as in
England. Instead of subordinating one class to
another, it was natural to render them independent,
and this is the fundamental principle of our insti-
tution." The speaker further said :—" In order
that the liberty of the press may be a benefit, it is ne-
cessary, in a country newly constituted, that a
new, vigorous, and independent political generation
should arise to replace the minds enervated by in-
volutions."

THE CAPE MAIL

PLYI2OI7TH, soave? 25.

The Cape Mail steamship Athena arrived here
this morning. She left the Cape on the 21st,
Helena 30th ult., and Ascension on the 3rd inst. The
Athena brings 72 passengers, including the Hon.
Mr. Rawson, the late colonial secretary, who hat
been appointed governor of the Bahamas, Colonels
J. G. Bawstone and Bey, Mrs. Stoltz, and seven
children of the Moravian mission.

Parliament was still in session. The whole of
the government taxing bill had passed, together
with a bill to provide for the formation of a sinking
fund. Business continued dull, and money was
seeking for investments. There was every prospect
of a good harvest, the extent of land brought
under cultivation exceeding the average of the
previous years.

- .
Owing to the stoppage of the government works
a large number of working men had flocked to
Cape Town for employment, which could only be
obtained at low remuneration.

The intimation that free passages to New
Zealand would shortly be offered by the govern-
ment of that colony bad induced numbers to
determine to emigrate there.
The prices of all kinds of colonial grown pro-
visions are low.

The Bishop of Cape Town had returned from
Natal, where he was very warmly received.
The barque Saxon, seised by the United States
steamer Vanderbilt at Angra Paquin', but re-
leased by the New York prize-court, had returned
to Table Bay.
Further news had arrived from the frontier of
dissensions among the natives, and war between
some of the tribes was oonsidered certain. The
small-pox had also broken out among them in the
neighbourhood of Griqua Town.

_
In Hamarland two commandos were going
out against the Hottentots to recover cattle stolen
by them.
The Athens mails have been landed here, and
forwarded by to-day'. trains.

PARIS , WILDNUIDAT Evans°.

K Rouland, minister of state, has just de-
livered a speech at the opening of the coun-
cil general of the Lower Seine. To some,
after a recent trial of thirteen important
citizens, certain remarks made by the minister
may seem at variance with the real position
of Frenchmen. M. Ronland, however, has assured
his hearers that the Emperor wishes authority to
be honoured and powerful, in order that evil
passions may be restrained, and the greatest pos-
sible good effected. He states that the government,
watching with equal solicitude over the respect due
to social repose and over the development of all
those liberties which are favourable to real progress,
hie Majesty wishes all citizens labouring for any
legitimate end to enjoy freedom of action, and he
desires also to see the state protecting and encou-
raging everywhere, and never giving way to useless
jealousies. M. Rouher has also spoken at Puy de
Dome, praising the interior organisation of France
and the wisdom of the centralisation which is to be
effected by giving extended powers to the coun-
cils general. M. Rouher is of opinion that
universal suffrage reigns in France, and that all
classes are legally represented.
There is a great religious movement going on in
this country, and the bishops are whipping up
their flocks, with vague indications as to bad times
coming, with miracles and the resurrection of
saints. There was lately at Autun an exhumation
and a beatification, and to such a degree had the
minds of the people been excited that it was found
necessary that the priestly performers should
threaten with excommunication whoever should
dare to plunder, no matter how small, a morsel of
I the venerable body. Under the segis of the church
the multitude saw appear successively the head of
the saint which had one day been pressed to our
Saviour's bosom, and then the remainder of the
body. in spite of the threats of the church, the
greatest difficulty was experienced in preventing
tbe crowd from precipitating itself on the holy body
to kiss it and share its bows. The Siicle. with
evident relish, lays before its readers a quan-
tity of similar statements taken from ultra-
: montane journals who rejoice to see this
I day. These proceedings are so ill at bar-

moray with the progress of the age that they re-
quire little or no comment. There is a general cry
for a better system of national education; the
present minister for public instruction, who is a
protestant, hes already deprived the schools of
some of their " classics" whist were simply
infamous ; and cases which trifle with public
credulity are in most instances dealt with by the
11 police courts. Superstition must fall back before
such measures as these.
The funeral service has been read over the
remains of the late Princess Csartoriaka, daughter
of the Queen Christina, who died during the
fetal offered to the King of Spain. The Emperor,
Empress, and Prince Napoleon, were represented
at the ceremony by members of their household.
The money market remains inactive. Sellers
teclare that before liquidation prices will be lower,
and buyers are in a state of dejection. The Rents
is firm, but merely because no business bas been
