CORFU, Sept. 10, 3 p.m.

NAPLES.
The Petri.; correspondent of the Morning Post
(second edition) says :
I have received communications from Naples, which say
the heir to the throne, the Duke of Calabria, will marry
before the end of the present year the youngest sister of
the Empress of Austria, the Princess Mary of Bavaria.
The King on this occasion is to grant a political amnesty,
and those who favour a renewal of diplomatic relations
between Naples and France and England believe such an
event will afford material for reconciliation.
A second letter from Naples, dated Sept. 4, taxes a very
different view of the question, and adds :—" The Kingwil,
set at liberty only a number of criminals on the occasion'
of his son's marriace."

THE CHARGE. OF CONSPIRACY preferred against
William Thomas Barns, the son, and Lucy Barns,
the wife, of Mr. Barns, the auctioneer and picture-
dealer of St. Paul's-churchyard, for detrauding Mr.
Robert Peter, a gentleman of independent fortune.of
various sums of money amounting to about 1,2001.,
and a bill of exchange for 11,0001., by the sale of
pictures alleged to be by the old masters, assumed a
new complexion on the reexamination of the lin-
goners at Guilhall yesterday. The prosecutor was
not present, and it was stated by Mr. Sleigh,
counsel for the prosecution, that there had been
"a corrupt settlement " between the parties, the
pictures having been taken away from Mr. Peter's
house, and the whole of the money returned.
Counsel and solicitors for the prisoner repudiated
all knowledge of an arrangement. Alderman Wire.
said he would be no party to a settlement, which
would be a high misdemeanour, and it was his inten-
tion to send the prisoners for trial. He, however,
adjourned the case for a week, to secure the attend-
ance of Mr. Peter, and required the prisoners, who
had previously been at large in their own recogni-
zances, to put in bail to the amount of 2,0001., which
they did.
