LATI GENCEAT
ALIA:MOA TO ENGLAND/1P

The Memorial Diplomatique affirms that the
Italian government offered to England an army
of 40,000 men and all her fleet in case the iabibet •
of London should join with Sweden and Denmark
in a war against Austria and Prussia. This offer
is said to lave been officially made by the Marquis
d'Azeglio. The attitude of England and Sweden
has rendered this offer, assuming it to have been
really made, inoperative.

ITBRUARY 29, 1864:

palliate ft. I assume that what we are now saying will
be "ported in Englasd, mod that there they will perhaps
begetter be somewhat leas Monday to the libm ty of
saegginatiwa. (Sensation.)
Pretident—Come to tee point, M. de Boiasy ; what
yo jag only tends to embitter things.
Coast de le lleartlie—All Shia has nothing to do
with the petition. I ask for the order of the day.

he Marquis 1e Boiwy—Why the order of the day'
What has been said is said, and U. le Verrier's words will
bare as Women echo, as I hope.

After a reproach to England for allowing boxing
matches uttered by Baron Chapuri-Montlaville,
which was echoed by Count Boulay de la Meurthe,
who said that in England there was more humanity
towards animals than towards men, the order of
the day was voted.
The following paragraph appears in the Pays:

Among the *sinl and odious incidents of the trial which
terminated on Friday there is one which, perhaps, mom
than any other, has produced a melancholy impression, i.e.,
the revelation of the part played in this sad affair by
• member of the House of Commons. fits name
was denounced to public indignation by the Procurenr-
Geoeral with • warmth and vigour of expreirdon which will
find an echo in France. This emotion will spread to Fag-
land. and we do not doubt that the London press will join
in the sentiments of reprobation which such acts must pro-
voke in all honest minds.

A very pretty quarrel between the Emperor and
the Pope is disclosed by a paragraph in the Moni-
tcur to-day. The Pope does not deny a single
word of the conversation attributed to him by
Cardinal de Bonald, the Archbishop of Lyons, and
which was thought so offensive by the French
government as to necessitate a formal diplomatic
complaint to Cardinal Antonelli. All that the Pope
says is that it was very "indiscreet" of Cardinal
Bonald to publish the conversation, and that now
that it has got him into a mess he is very
angry with him. The subetan>3 of Cardinal de
Bonald's letter appeared in the Tamps of Feb. 14.
In it the Pope was represented as complaining of
the civil authority in France, and its impertinent in-
terference with matters which rightly concerned
Rome alone.

3f. Pietri, the senator, who was formerly Prefect
of Police, is fast dying. He has received extreme
unction. The Emperor and Prince Napoleon went
to bee him yesterday.

were camel for the plaintiffs. Mr. Berjeant Mayes, Mr.
Serjeant Ballsetine, sad Mr. Willes were conneel for the
defesdants, . . . .

Mr.KUslake said he had then, on behalf of the executon
of George Nottsll, the testator, to address them in reply
to the ow that had been set up on behalf the defendants.
The learned counsel on their behalf had draltonly in insinua-
tions and inneodo, and he vintured to say the jury hardly
knew the charges he had put forward, or who he implicated
in those charges. The defendants had reluctantly,
however, charged forgery and perjury, at least
to Mr. John Else, and it wee enasavourid tc,
be represented to them that the jury had only
to say that the codicils were not proved to their satisfaction.
To make out any case at all for the defendants the jure
were called upon to say that the three codicils were forged,
but his learned friends had not followed it out to its conse-
quences, but had rather shadowed forth the persons who
might be implicated. But it was hap:risible to adopt the
suggestion without charging complicity to Else, Burton,
Gregory. Job Knowles, Mr. Newbold, Mr. Adams. and Mr.
Cresewell, who were dead, but who by their evidence left
on record, showed the coetzery.
Mr. Parjeant Hayes mid he had particularly disclaimed
any such charge against Mr. Cromwell and Mr. Newbold.
Mr. Kanlake contended that most be the resole if the
jury found for the defendants. He asked them to look
well to the facts of the awe and see that they did not,
by returning a verdict of not proven, prevent these
these three codicils, which he said were genuine, from
having force and effect after the testator had ceased to Lv ;
for if they said so they destroyed the testarnentory disposi.
tiou of a man who had made three codicils. which he in.
tended should speak his mind after his death. He prayed
them to remember that the three codicils were proved
without dispute in the Probate Court, and that it was
only after the deaths of persons who were interested as
devious and legatees that they were disputed. The genuine
will of the testator had heretofore gone unchallenged, bat
it was now set up for the fir t time that the ioterlineation
was a forgery. A pathetic appeal had been made in favour
of John Nottall's children, but there had been no evidence
gnu to show that the testator wished to beoefit then beyond
what he intended togive their father. After some further
remarks of a general rbanWr the learned counsel. referring
to the reports of the trial in a contemporary, said both sides
had carefully attempted to tided° as much as namable, in
aocordance with the ordinary rule, what had occurred on
former trials, bat through another source of information
they might have obtained a knowledge of information
which was not strictly accurate ; but he begged
them not to allow that to have any weight
with them, bat address themselves only to the
facts u they had appeared io court. He
urged that the plaintiff's was a perfectly clear and consistent
case, and that there was nothing to show that the testator
had any desire to entail the property on the Sutton*. As
illustrative of the testator's nervous disposition from the
fear of haulers and tee probability of his concealing his
wills and codicils, the learned council referred to his sleeping
with a loaded gun io his bedroom, and the desire he mani-
fested just before his death to open the cupboard to satisfy
himself his will was safe. . .

[The ease was proceeding when oar report left.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. CommiseioeerGealbera.)

IN as H. W. CHMICH.7BENTECCZ.OI INTILHIONMEIT.

The bankrupt, described as a traveller, of Hackney-road,
rectally applied for his order of discharge.
His Honour, in giving judgment, said that the caw
though not one of great magnitude, was one of
extras* turpitude on the part of the bankrupt.
He had been employed as agent for Mr. Walter
Scott, brewer, and collected moons on hts behalf
to the amount of 3001. or 4001. Though it was his
duty to pay over the money weekly, be had kept back a
portion every week until it reached the above amount. In
March last, the bankrupt bad entered into parties.
ship with bit brother, and had suddenly dissolved
that parniership in May, assigning as his reason
that he owed • large sum to Mr. Scott, and meant to
go through the Bankruptcy Court, in order to clear hinnell.
This was a deliberate fraud, and the court was of opioiou (in
which Mr. Commiationer H °Boyd caseurred ) that lbw apes
of broach of trust came within the provinces of theme agaiast
ontracting debt' without probable means of payment. It
was • case in which the court ought, if in any came, to exer-
cise its power of sentencing the bankrupt to imprisonment.
A question bad been raised on the exercise of this peer,
becalm no gaol was upended in the act ; but whatever gaol
the court committed the bankrupt to, the gaoler was bound
to carry oat the orders of the court. The order of discharge
would be suspended for 12 months, acd the bankrupt would
be sentenced to four mouths' imprisonment in Whiteman-
street prison. The warrant would he made out, but its
execution would be deferred for 21 days, to give the bank.
