THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1864.

within the bounds of ordinary possibility, but
being perhaps one of the most probable Maul-
gencies to which the present generation can look
forward. But, when we peas from a consideration
of the expenditure of the Italian Government, sad
of the nature of the circumstances which necesai-
tate it, to an estimate of the potential expansibility
of the taxable resources of the country, we see
still more reason to question the accuracy of the
conclusion at which our contemporary has ar-
rived. It is true that the returns of the
commerce of Genoa and of some of the prin-
cipal cities of Sicily show a falling off for 1862
as compared with those of the preceding year.
But an explanation of this falling off is given •
by Mr. Wan himself, in the injurious effects which
the American war has exercised upon car-
tain branches of Italian trade. On the °Ler
hand, there is a marked increase in the con- I
sumption of many of the prime net:emu:es of
life, than which there cannot be a surer index of
improvement in the general well-being of the com-
munity, and, therefore, a corresponding increment
of commercial energy. So far, moreover, from I
the tonnage of vessels entering the ports of the
kingdom increasing slowly, the Report expressly
states that in the year 1862 navigation with ,
foreign countries increased 15 per cent., and the
coasting trade 9 per cent. Considering the
diffi-
culties which the unsettled state of the Southern,
provinces, and the general prevalence of Papal
and Bourbon brigandage have thrown in the
way of commercial activity of all kinds, it would
seem that the most sanguine forecast could
hardly have anticipated a more satisfactory
resnit. Our contemporary also has entirely
ignored the great extension of railway traffic
which has taken place during the last
three years, and the substantial guarantee which
that extension supplies of future external com-
mercial development. To expect that the results
of these efforts should appear at once in the fiscal
returns of the countts, is to neglect the lessons of
all past experience, and to credit an infantile
organization with all the vigour of mature
manhood. We are far, indeed, from wishing to
dissemble or conceal the enormous difficulties
against which the Italian Government, distracted
by a doubtful ally, and armed to the teeth against
an implacable enemy, has to contend. But
though there is cause for grave anxiety I
and for the most watchful caution, there is cer-
tainly no matter for despair in the financial prc
specta of the Kingdom. The pressure under which
Italy is now labouring is temporary and excep-
tional, and there is every reason to believe tha',
when that pressure is withdrawn by the clearing
up of the clouds which now encompass her horizon,
her resources will exhibit an elastic recoil that will
disappoint the forebodings of her most candid
(friends.

PRINCE HUMBERT OF ITALY.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAT.

The Marquis d'Azeglio, the Italian ambassador,
with several members of the Italian embassy, arrived at
the Dolphin Hotel in this town on Saturday, to meet Prince
Humbert. heir apparent to the king of Italy. Dinner was
prepared at the Dolphin yesterday for the Prises and the
Italian embassy. At 11 o'clock last night a messenger arrived
at the hotel announcing that a French royal yacht with
Prince Humbert, Prince Napoleon, and the Princess
Clotilde on board, had arrived in Southampton
water, and that the royal pa:gorges would not land
until ibis morning. The Margo 4 d'Aseglio imme-
diately went off to the yacht. At 8 o'clock this morn.
ing the Prince Humbert, Prince Napoleon. and the Princess
Clotilde, with their mites, landed at the dock in a tiny
screw steamboat, belonging to the French royal yacht. No
one knew who they were. and they walked from the dock to
the railway station. One of the royal carriages was coupled
to the &40 express train for the accommodation of
Prints Humbert. Before the train started the Italian prince
kissed his sister, and saluted Prince Napoleon in eon-
tinental fashion. On taking his seat in the chiliese
he began to smoke a cigar, evidently in igno.
ream of the role prohibiting smoking on Radials rail-
ways. On the departure of the train, Prince Napoleon and
the Princess Clotilde left the station arm-in-arm for the
dock, followed by a gentleman and lady of their suite. The
Princess Clotilde, who, like her brother, is not very tall,
was dressed very plainly in a yachting costume.

On the arrival of Pi ince Humbert in town, he proceeded

MULLINS DEPENCS.

A correspondent of a contemporary states that
fa an interview which be was allowed to have with Muller
in the prison, the prisoner proceeded to say that on the
night of Mr. Briggs's murder he left his boarding-place
shortly after sapper, rode to London-bridge, se he was
troubled with • lame leg, a cart having ran over his foot •
few days previously and braised it ; that he walked across
Lcndon.bridge and took another omnibus to Camberwell
New-road. Going into a publio-house in that locality, he
drank a glass ci beer, and remained there until half-past 9,
when be again took an omnibus to return to London-
bridge. On recrossing the bridge and going to the Royal
Exchange, which be reached about 10 o'clock, he found
that the last omnibus had left, and he was obliged to wank
home. In cosiniquence of the lameness of his foot it was
11 o'clock before he reached there, and all the folks had
gone to bed. He made his way to his room as soon as pos-
sible, and saw none of them until the next morning. " I
told Muller," writer the oorrespondent, "after he had owl-
lamed this statement, that much cariosity was felt to know
bow he came in possession of the hat and watch which
were said to belong to Mr. Briggs. He promptly
answered that he pu-chased the hat at a shop
in London • year ego. The watch he stated he
bought of • puller on the dal" the Monday before
he ailed The vessel left port on Friday, and he
narrated the emumstances as follows : —The pedlar had
rings and other trinkets for sale, and vireo Mollm's stepping
up to look at them he offered him this watch. Muller
had but 41. and three ha'f-crowns in his pocket, mosey
which he had been saving up to purchase his passage
ticket to America, and when the pedlar offered him the
watch for 61., he replied by offering 41. for it. This was
refused, and Mu"er turned to go away, but he had taken
such • fancy to the watch that he determined to
purchase it if he could by the payment of all
the money in his possession (41. three half -ova ca), and
this the pedlar finally accepted. When he got the watch
in his possession he said be was afraid that it might be
worthless, and so went to Mr. Death's, in Cheapside, to
exchange the &ilia, thinking that if this proved to be
porn gold the watch oleo most be u valuable as it seemed
to be. ' Tau,' said I, Mr. Death's statement was cor-
rect. You bartered the chain with him r Yea,' Muller
asswered. ' Had you heard of Mr. Briggs's murder,' I
asked, ' when you bought the watch 1 I had; he re-
plied ; but I did not think of the catch being his.'
' How was it you happened to take purge for America
just at that time ' Oh,' said he, ' I had been
intending for some time to come here, to follow my trade,
and had given my landls 1y notice • fortnight before
that I meant to leave." Another question,' I said.
You have just told me that you gave ell the money you
bad for the watch ; where did you raise fonds to pay for
your passage ticket I' ' I pee tied the watch chain,' he
answered, and afterwards sold the ticket.' Certainly,'
I replied, 'that could not; have been sufficient! 'No,'
said he ; ' I had a gold watch before I parches( d the one
said to belong to Mr. Briggs, which I sold, and which
brought me sufficient.' You will remember that several of
the witnesses who have testified before the London
tribunals have stated that Muller had no gold
watch previous to the time that he secured
possession of Mr. Brigp's. Bearing this fact in
mind, I did not think it worth while to pub
my inquiriee further, and after • few unimportant remarks
took leave of Muller. During the conversation he bore
himself with great composure, and was never at a loss to
answer any questions that I put to him. He was dressed
in the same clothes he wore when in court,
with the single exception that he was without a coat. His
shirt had apparently just come from the hands of the
washerwoman, and was cossequently clean. His puts
ware threadbare, but were neatly brushed, and on the whole
his upesratos was as mach in his favour as it could have
been expected to be. As I turned to leave the ' Tombs,'
the warden remarked, He ie • bard ass you way depend
upon it ; b'a month shows that !• "

A DISTURBANCE IN THE GAMBLING ROOMS
AT BADEN-BADEN.

The handsome rooms of the gambling-house at
Badec•Baden pressatedaa extraordinary spectacle one even-
ing last week. Toe croupier of the roulette table, appa-
rently by error, drew towards himself the pile of mosey in
front of a German baron, oae of the players. Toe berm
immediately claimed the restoration of Ws stskes, sod, as
he was supported by the other players, the money was re-
turned by the croupier, who, in doing so, made an offensive
remark to the baron. The players resented the affront, sod
than arose an altercation, which soon became more and more
walnut: I. The bank called for the police, who soon appeared,
and expelled the supposed came of the disturbanos. It hap.
paired also that just at this time a sudden and heavy
f►ll of rain had caused the hall to be filled by many
persons seeking shelter. The increase of spectators
added to the commotion, especially as few knew the
real cause of the uproar. The *yin portion of
those present supported the cause of the boron, who,
after long explanations, was brought out of the offices and
into the saloon in triumph. The croupier was now required
to beg pardon, and thus the tumult became greater than
before. An idea can be formed of the sane when it
is stated that some hundreds of persons of different
nations were present, and that each pied " Tarn
him out" in his own language, while at the same
time a Mill of people, actuated by curiosity, sought to
make their way into the mom. The bank maturely put a
stop to the play, though hundreds cried oat that it should
be continued. The crowd then broke the large mirrors,
which gave rise to the idea in the adjoining rooms that
fighting was going on, and many persons took to Bight.
At last the police appeared in form, accompanied by rural
gendarmes, but as they entered with drawn swords, the
commotion Mermaid for some time, sod was not quelled
till, after the lapse of more than an hour, the capital was
removed. By this time the toilettes of the female players
and spectators showed plainly bow animated had been
the *tangle. Voiaterested spectators could only hops
that Baden would soon be left to its natural and beautiful
attractions, which are sufficient to 5U the place without the
assistance of the gambling table.

to the servitors of the church the following order, counter-
signed by the Mayor of the Commune :—" Al it is known
that Mx. N— has not come to church for a long time,
you are directed to go to his house and to bring him to
church. If he should resist you will call in the amistence
of two others and bring him there by force. Having come
into the church you will sit near him, should he feign

of the new circular by the archbishops, says:—" God forbid
we should live to see the day when England's heart is

land ; but with the great demand we have for church work
among the heathen of all elegies at home, we are but pru-
dent when we seek economy in our charity, and expect the
end at which we aim to be sought with no more than neces-
sary expose*. We have a right to expect that those in the
colonies who can afford it should find their own church, as
we have also a right to question whether, for the poor co-
lonist, the poor heathen, a church establishment in all »-

vance the knowledge of God and the practice of godli-

ever that may be, I am quite sure that, while the Christian

funds so long as they are earnest sod prudent in their work
and accurate in their acoonnte, there may be some doubt
whether appeals may not be too urgent for money to start
little "churches," with mooed-rate bedews, to be supported

BISHOP COLENSO IN LercurswesEat. -
SCENES AT CLAYBROOK CHURCH.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
An announcement that the Bishop of Natal Lai
agreed to preach a sermon for the village schools in the
church of Claybrook, on Sandayafkinsoou, and a rumour that
the Bishop of Peterborough would exercise his episcopal
authority and prevent the sermon being preached, acted
considerable excitement in Leicestershire last week.
it was stated that the Bishop of Peterborough had et.
pressed his disapproval of the proposed service, but tit
Public announcement that Dr. Coleus° would preach was
repeated on Saturday, and in the evening of that day h,
. ..,
lordship, accompanied by a lay friend, arrived from Lat.
don at Claybrook Vining; the residence of the Rev, p.
H. Johnson, who holds the vicarage of Claybrook in ei,L.
junction with the rectory of Lutterworth, distant .0..,
four miles. Shortly after the bishop's arrir.t ;-
Claybrook Vicarage, Mr. Gates, of Lutterworth, iii.;
acted as agent of the Bishop of Peterborough, pre,etre ,
himself at the vicarage and inquired for the I:i.hop . •
Natal. The vicar had an interview with Mr. Gates, at.!
during the conversation Mr. Johnson was served ......
inhibition from the bishop, forbidding him to ~..!,
sermon to be preached by Dr. Cohens°. A similar d ..
meat was served upon the Bay. Lewis Wood, Sir. Jai,
eon's carats and son-in-law. Mr. Gates then renewed E.;
request that be might see the Bishop of Natal. I 1.9 1.4.....
ship urged that he knew nothing of Mr. Gates, a:,.1 as i,
did not desire to have any communication with him, Le de.
dined to see him. Mr. Gates then left the vicarage. I i..
Solids" morning as the Bishop of Natal, accompanied ',..
his friend and Mr. Johnsoo, were paring thro.igh the
churchyard a person holding a document iu his hand 41'
tempted to approach the bishop, but was prertiited ‘,...
the bishop's friend, and during a slight altereat,n as.
I took place Dr. Coleus° and Mr. Johnson passed into tii,
church, and along the centre aisle to the chancel.
They were followed by the agent of the L'isho;
of Peterborough, who, accompanied by the cLurvi•
wardens, proceeded to the chancel where the B.sLop of
Natal was kneeling at the communion table. Whiie tLe
bishop was in the act of private devotion, with his ere,
closed and his head realising on hit hand, the lei ,op c.
Peterborough's agent, holding out a written dr.-.tirnent.
addressed some remarks to his lordship, wL. hcs•
ever, did not notice him, The agent then three
the notice at the bishop, and it fell at his feet, and there r,
mained until the bishop had passed out o. the &arch ai
the conclusion of the service, when it was picket up Lc
some official connected with the church. Mr..10tit•..3
announced at the morning service that his dioce,,n ~.,.:
served him with a notice commanding him not to al!ov the
Bishop of Natal to preach in his church, but intimmr.l the.
Dr. Colima would publish the sermon he had ioten.le I t.,
preach, and that, to prevent disappointment, his lorilsLii
would address a meeting at the schoolroom in the eveninz.
There was a large attendaide at the afternoon ten ice, :,Ld
the Bishop of Natal, attired in his episcopal robes, funk h .
place at the commnoion table. The service was cfloduct.sl
throughout by the Rev. Lewis Wood, the curate. Befor.•
the sermon Mr. Wood made a statement with referetre
to what had occurred in the morning and on Sattlrd.,y
evening. The rev. gentleman said : ' You are aware,
my brethren, that Mr. Johnson had asked the lii .t,
of Natal to pram* a sermon on behalf of our 'iris,
schools. The bishop consented to do so, and Ls;
this day coon among us, but not to preach. You have
heard, no doubt, that the bishop of this diocese has sent
a notice to Mr. Johnson, to myself, sod to the churvi.
wardens, forbidding us to allow his brother bishop to
preach in this church. If that order is a lawful one -
which we very much doubt—we are bound, of course, to
obey it. Bat whether it is lawful or not, the bishop ~i
Natal had no sootier heard from Mr. Johnson that the
lord bishop of the diocese had expressed his wishes 03
the subject, than he wrote to say that he would be ouwillitc
to be the cause of an unseemly strife in the matter, std
would, therefore, merely come to visit Mr. Johnson es a
friend and brother clergyman, and not to occupy his pul-
pit. Bat, now that he is present with us we feel bowl
in spirit to declare our feelings among you. Our soar
is now an old man ; four spore and three have been the
years of his pilgrimage, and forty-eioht of those years he
has spent, by God's mercy, as the pastor of this push.
During that time has be not laboured, however feebly. to
declare the whole counsel and tenth of God among you. sod
to have his conscience clear of the blood of all of you;
Yon cannot expect him to live much longer among you.
As an aged minister, then—ore who is fast drawing near
to the eternal world—as your pastor for so many
years, who has striven by God's help to sow the seed
of life among you, and who must before long be
celled hence to give an account of hie ministry, he
desires to deliver his solemn testimony this day among
you with reference to the work done by the Bishop of Natal.
We heartily and entirely approve that work. We believe
him to be • true and fa thful 'avant of God, who is doing
his utmost to adman the canoe of true religion, and
to promote the solid, lading welfare of our National
Church. We know that his books have been condemned
by many—that he himself has received hard names from
many—and I am sorry to my, from some of those to authority
as bishops of the church. But so it has been in all ages.
In our own neighbourhood, Wickliffe' the great Reformer
of Lotterworth, was also in his day defamed and calum-
niated, and would have been burnt alive, if the bishops of
the time ooukl have doge it with him as they did it with
many others. St. Paul tells us how be was attacked in
his time by those who were zealous for the law—that is,
for the mere letter of the Bible—while be was preaching
this spirit and the life of it. He tells us that he
himself, with the other Apostles, was made as ' the filth
of the world,' as 'the offacouring of all things.' Nay,
one greater than St. Paul, we know, was said to hare a
devil—was called Beelzebub—by those same scribes and pia.
ANSI who professed to be teachers of the law, and to be
religious more than others. And be has told us that
'the disciple must not be above his lord.' We
charge you, therefore, brethren, do not listen to
the hard and uncharitable speeches which you rosy
hear many make—man high and low in the church—
about Bishop Colenso. He has sought not the praise of
men but the praise of God in his work, and with that, we
doubt not he will be satisfied. But read for yousselvei
and consider what he has written quietly and calmly in your
own homes. For as he will not preach among us to-day,
he has been begged of by Mr. Johnson to print sod publish
the sermon which he would have preached had he been
permitted,aod he haspromisedtodo so. As soon as it is ready
you shall have it in your bands, and we doubt not that SO3
will be pleased with it. It is our firm belief that, as Wick•
lift put first an open English Bible into the bands of hie
fellow-countrymen, so the Bishop of Natal has been oiled
the first to do his part—and he has done it manfully and
well—to advance still further the work of the Reformation,
and to enable English laymen to read that Bible for them-
selves, when opened, thoughtful and intelligently, as God
who gave Hie book would have them read it;
and not with the blind amass:eine credulity of a
priest-ridden people. We thank God that we bare lived
to see this day ; a day of increased light ; a day of in.
creased love of the truth, and of simple straightforward
utterance of it ; a day of hope for the future of the church
of England. We esteem Bishop Coleneo very highly is lora
for hie work's sake. And very rare we Sr. of this, that,
whatever may be said of him by the people of this gene-
ration, our children hereafter will honour his meteory
when we and he are laid in the grave. Meanwhile, as
the bishop of the diocese, by the course which he has
taken, has implied that we have betrayed our trust, sod
invites, so unfit person to preach in this church, it is my
intention to read an extract from one of Bishop Coldso's
books, that you may understand the spirit of his writings
end judge how little those persons know what spirit they
are of who have so uncharitably and unrighteoudy coo.
demised him. The bishop's words, of course, were not
written for a village congregation like this, but still they
are so plain and simple that I feel sure you will er-
stand them well. They are words with which I b .I!
i..,
agree, sod with which you must from the bottom o Tour
souls most heartily and readily concur. Aod I pest.t.o.l
that we may all profit by the reeding and bearing oft m."
Having given notice of the proposed lecture in the col-
room on missionary work, and requested as many as were
able to attend, Mr. Wood preached a sermon from part of
the 12th verse of the 13th chapter of Judges, " How shall
we order the child, and bow shall we do unto him ° "
At 6 o'clock the village schoolroom was crowded,
and a large number of persona were outside unable to
gain admission.
Dr. Colenso addressed those assembled on "Oor
Father in Heaven." The crowd outside became so
impatient to hear the bishop that an adjournment to
the green was resolved upon, sod Dr. Colds() continued
i his address deluding upon a table in the open air. Pr.
Colons) impressed upon his audience the ion nee
of conveying the message of the love of 0 to
the millions who are ignorant of it. He then
gave some interesting particulars of the mid

A CHILD COMM HER THROAT.
A very comfortably clad well•grown child, named Sarah
was charged with cutting ►er own throat with a razor.
Mrs. Ana Baklavas said that ohs lived at 6, Wimpole-
mews, Cavendishequare, and was at present taking charge
of her sister's house, 29, Stanley-street, Pimlico, as she had
gone with her husband into the country for a few days.
The prisoner was there as servant, and having heard that
ber aunt was gone out of town on Saturday began crying
about it, and nothing would pacify her. She was much dis-

WORSHIP-STREET.
OTSTEMATIC SOBBUT HT A GIIOCIIeS ASSISTANT,
Arthor Goodrhild, 20 years of age, and of respectable ap-
pearance, was charged with stealing two half sovereigns, the
monies of his employers, Mews. Grapey and Taylor whole-
sale tea aod coffee dealers, at 23, High-street, Shoreditch,
Mr. Gressely said that the piisoner had been in his service
three years since as a counterman, and then conducted him-
self ao satisfactorily, that when at Christmas last he re-
engaged him it was with the utmost confidence in hie
honesty. Unfortunately that confide:Foe had been abused,
and for the past two months the till money, particularly the
gold, found a deposit in the young man's pocket to an ex-
tent that it would be almost idle to name. There was
a system also in the mode of robbery evincing mach
rousing. Of course the till heel( was open to afford
opportunity of giving change, but at the back portion of it a
small comportment had been so arranged as to allow the
gold coin to pass through a slit at the top, whence it could
not afterwards be abstracted save by the use of the key
that enclosed it. Prisoner avoided this difficulty by
simply tapping the part mentioned with the gold piece,
as though he had droppcd it through, at the same in-
stant jingling the silver with his other hand to
give change, and is most convenient usually put
the former in such part of the till as would
enable him to get it at his leisure, or else instantly trans-
ferred it to his own pocket. Pounds after pounds had thus
been missed, and on the evening of Saturday last prisoner
would have got possession of two sovereigns in the way de-
scribed but for the vigilance with which he (witness) watched
his movements. At length it was resolved to mark some
money, and thin done the police were left'to work the result.
Mukha Squires, the wife of a constable at Spital-square
station-home—a country-looking woman, well calculated
from appearance to avert suspicion —proved having paid pri-
soner early this morning, when he alone was in the shop, two
half-sovereigns (the marked money) for goods purchased of
him to take into the country as she said, He gave
her some small change out of the till and she left.
Kenwood, a plain-clothes man of the H Division, who had
charge of the our, said he waited outside the premises until
piisoner came to move a sugar cask, as arranged by Mr.
Gregory while that person looked into the till, and at a
given signal took him back to the shop. Prosecutor asked
if he had served any customer, prisoner replied " Yes, to
the amount of le. 6d." Witness marched him and found
the gold pieces in question. He was thee given into custody,
admitted his guilt, and struggled hard to induce his em-
nloyer to forgive him, indeed so hard as witness described
as to make it net:eatery to call in another constable Ware
he could be removed.

Prisoner, in well chosen terms, implored a lenient sen-
tence in consideration of, and in mercy to, a widowed mother.
who had travelled a great distance to see him. Be insisted
that only twice before had he stolen money, or rather takers
it, as in one instance he had subsequently repaid the
mount, and the transactions were known to another drop-
man. The half-sovereign in question be purposed spending
in the purchase of a present for his mother, and afterwards
refunding it.
Mr. Ellison remarked strongly and feelingly upon this cam
Prisoner had received from the firm a liberal salary, been in
a confidential position with an exoellent character, which
combined would doubtless have enabled him to rise in the
world, and bad chosen to sacrifice it by glaring dishonesty ;
in fact, it appeared that he had been as diligent in striving to
lose his goad name as previo4sly to pia it. The magistrate,
with some excellent advice, then ordered the prisoner to be
sent for four mouths to the Hoses of Correction, with hard
labour.
