THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1851.

there was supplementary judges the sentence might
have been delivered without that notorious polluter
et jades. But no—Navaro knew his companions
were divided, and he wished to be present. There
were oat of the eight four for acquittal. One of
these men, Amato, unwilling to sell his conscience,
either was ill, or feigned illness, whereupon Navaro,
who had now recovered, appointed Morelli in his
place—a man conspicuous for what is here termed
" loyalty." The president had now his majority,
I and the result was as I have stated above, a con-
demnation of 25 to irons. These unhappy men are
all of the lower class.
The trials of May 15, 1848, have advanced a step.
I should observe, this group of prisoners, some of
whom have been in dungeons for nearly two years,
consists of 45 individuals: two were ministers of the
crown, and the rest were members of parliament
and men of property. The At to di Accuse charges
them with "conspiring against the internal security
of the state, for the purpose of destroying or chang-
ing the actual form of government, by exciting the
subjects and inhabitants of the kingdom to arm
themselves against the royal authority, as well as
having actually produced civil war between the in-
habitants of the same population—offences consum-
mated in the capital on the 15th of May, 1848, ac-
cording to the penal laws 123, 129" (Alto di Accuse,
p. 30). Does it ever occur to the members of the
Neapolitan government, that this accusation would
precisely apply to themselves, as de jure they are
constitutional ministers who, for more than two
years, have systematically " destroyed and changed
the actual form of government ?"
Now, according to the old law, no minister of the
crown can be tried except by a special commission
appointed by the King; and according to the consti-
tution, the new and actual law, they can only be
tried by the House of Peers. The ex-Minister of
Commerce, Antonio Scialga, and the ex-Minister
Plenipotentiary at Turin, Pietro Leopardi, put in a
plea of "incompetency." A supreme court was called,
when Castrioti and other advocates had the courage
to argue the incompetency of the criminal court to
judge their clients. I attended the court; the ques-
tion was as clear as noon day ; but I need not add,
law and justice were here again put aside, and, in a
few days the prisoners will be tried at the same
court and by the same judges as those who tried
Poerio, as witnessed by Mr. Gladstone, who attended
that celebrated trial.
Another ex-deputy has been arrested during the
last few days. The name of this ex-deputy is Pro-
fessor Tomasi, author of the " Fisiologia Humana," a
work of European fame; together with a few other
less important persons ; some printing-offices have
been shut up, and a considerable amount of abuse of
Lord Palmerston and Mr. Gladstone has appeared in
the only newspapers allowed—the government press.
Such are the events of the day.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

It will be seen that Col. Reid, the Chairman of the
Ezeeutive Committee, has been Omitted as the new Go-
vernor of Malta.

Yesterday being a half-crown day, was of course
one of comparatively thin attendance at the Exhibition, but
still the numbers, upwards of 17,000, indicate that the re-
cent reaction in public curiosity is extending itself to the
higher class of visitors; and besides it must reckon for con-
siderably more than a similar number would in the height
of the season as the ticket holders are now almost satiated,
and but very sparingly attend. The only persona
of distinction noticed yesterday were the Mar- 1
quis of Douro, Earl Fitswilliarn, and the Bishop'
of Exeter. The Persian ambassador has honoured
the building with his presence once or twice
during the week, when his graceful national costume at-
tracted much notice; and souther lion has been a noble
looking Sikh chief, who wanders aline through the won-
ders of the Crystal Palace, and frowns rather angrily at all, I
and their name is legion, who take the liberty of staring at
him. But strange costumes have ceased to be a novelty at
the Exhibition. Yesterday a nun, in full conventional
costume, probably a Sister of Mercy from ono of
the convents of the continent, wandered about the
galleries wholly unattended. The Sardinian work-
men were also present in considerable numbers, and
as many of them sseak English, there was a good
deal of conversation between them and the home
visitors. They explained that for the means of making
their present visit they were not indebted to the King. but
to the nation. It appears that the subject having been
stated in the Turin papers, a subscription was opened, and
40,000 francs subl.cribed in the course of a few days. His
Sardinian Majesty was a liberal subscriber, but in the main
the movement was one of the nation at large.
The police numbers, yesterday, were 17,9.39.

Port Elisabeth, July 22, 1851, per
steamer Hellespont.
We are in a far worse position, as regard, the war, than
we have yet been. The loner; of the farmers are getting so
enormous that we shall all, I fear, ere long be in a state of
bankrupty Our position here is a most distressing
one. I, in common with all others, feel more than I can
express; indeed, no words can convey the feelings of tho
colonists regarding our prospects. I feel confident that, if
the matter could only be seen in its proper light by the go-
vernment and the people at home, they would soon coma to
our aid. But the representations made by the Governor
here, and the missionaries at home, must, unless something
is done of a decisive nature, force the colonists into open re-
bellion against the government, and bring on a war of
races; and, although this might prove in the end to be the
best, if not the most humane course to be pursued, it would
cause great confusion, and perhaps much bloodshed. The
colonists have always treated the blacks well, if not too
well; and even now, although hardly a family has escaped
having some of its members murdered, they would still be
willing to continue that treatment, provided the govern-
in' it did not interfere with them ; but, if the black man's
part, not his welfare, is to be taken in preference to our
own nation and blood, it is really too much to be borne.
The blacks must and shall be put down here; and if the
government, to whom we look for support, will eat give it
us, we shall be driven to take the law into our own hands,
and discard a government which uses us so shamefully.
Ido not write at random. These are the sentiments of
thousands in this now unhappy country. Sir Harry Smith's
proclamations and despatches are full of misrepresenta-
tions, and British troops are being beaten by a number of
naked savages. Ile still remains in Kaffirland, trying to
patch up a peace with the Kaltirs, which could not last more
than three months—just time enough to enable him to get
away in; and, in the meantime, the Kadin' are overrunning
the colony in every direction Within the last fortnight
they have swept off from one district alone (Somerset) 37,000
sheep, 6,000 head of cattle, 3do horses, and have destroyed
200 farmhouses by fire. These immense losses, you can
easily understand, throw us back almost beyond redemp-
tion; and, when you come to think that all this might
have been prevented by having a government competent to
rule, and when we have a governor saying he is subduing
the Kaffirs, when, in fact, they are only commencing the
war—l ask you whether it is not enough to make any one
whose interests lie in this colony almost mad with rage, and
willing to adopt any course rather than submit to such
humiliation and injury.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last evening Mr. Benjamin Webster, the lessee
and manager of this popular place of amusement, took his
benefit, and certainly that gentleman must have been gm-
tilled by the crowded house which assembled at once to
comp!iment and to reward him for his exertions on behalf
of standard English comedy. The first piece selected for
the occasion was the vernacular version of that old
f:vourite, " The Sonnambula," in which the principal
characters were sustained by Miss Louis/ l'yne, Mr. Har-
rison, and Mr. Weiss. Of Miss Pyne's Amino it is scarcely
isissible to s:seak too highly. The first part was rendered
with pleasing accuracy, great sweetness of tone, and much
artistic skill; at the same time she fell not into the what is
ofti a the weak point of the lyric drama, namely, too little
attention to histrionic merit. Miss Pyae's Amino was a
charming piece of acting. The grand hitale of the second
act was given with great power and effect ; but through-
out, the performance was characterised by grace,
modesty, and propriety. The celebrated "Do not
mingle" was admirably executes', and received the
compliment of an encore. Mr. Harrison,: who personated
Elmo, was suffering from the effects of a severe cold and
sore throat, hut he managed to get through the piece very
creditably. Mr. Weiss, in Count ks.doVio, also appeared
to win :" golden opinions" of the audience. The choruses
were taken in admirable time, and the success of the opera
was complete. Miss Pyno, and the two gentlemen just
particularised, were called before the curtain, and almost
overwhelmed with enthusiastic plaudits. Mr. Webster
himself was afterwards greeted with Llllo less warm, and
certainly a perfectly well-deserved reception in Tortiffe.
Mr. Lambert likewise displayed great ability as the Tepee-
sentstive of the hypocrite's absurd dupe, Or on. These
gentlemen were admirably supported by the rest of the
dramatis persona., who left nothing to be desired. The
entertainments concluded with the amusing piece of " Grim-
@haw, Bagshaw, and Bradshaw."

the volatile carbonate of ammonia into the compara-
tively fixed sulphate of the same base. The last
supposition seems to be fallacious, since the sulphate
of ammonia itself is found to be subject to an impor-
tant change when mixed with the soil; and it is
found that the burning of clay, which Liebig recom-
mended to facilitate the absorption of ammonia from
the atmosphere, nearly destroys its efficiency as an
absorbent from solution.

THB POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOT; SE.

Mr. Josiah Watley, of Blackfrian, was brought, in the
custody of John Forrester, the officer, before Mr. Alderman
Wire, upon the charge of having forged bills of exchange
upon the lionising-house of Sir It. G. Glyn and Co., Lom-
bard-street. Mr. Mullen, of the firm of Bush and Mul-
len., solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection
from Felonies and Frauds, appeared for the prosecution ;
Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner.
Mr. Mullein said he merely wished to give ao much evi-
dence at that moment as would justify the remand of the
prisoner, who had been but a couple of hours before appre-
hended at the Court of Bankruptcy, and that the evidence
would affect two bills of exchange which he held in his

Mr. Owen F. Williams, managing clerk at Olyn's Bank,
said: I know the prisoner. He kept an account with us
about two or three years. Those two bills of exchange which
arc produced by Mr. Mullen have been discounted at the
prisoner's request. (Here one of the bills, which was for
1131. 155., was handed to witness.) The drawing and the
endorsement of this bill are, I believe, in the handwriting
of Mr. Josiah Westley, the prisoner. L have seen letters
addressed to the firm and to myself by him, and I have also
seen his cheques, and I think I have seen him write. The
signature Josiah Watley, as the drawer and indorser, are
in his writing.
[The bill, which was dated the 26th of February, 1851,
purported to be drawn by the prisoner upon Mr. G. Mailer,
printer, Leeds, at six months after date, and to be accepted
by "Geo. Marin," payable at No. 200, High Holborn,
Loudon.]
Mr. Mullens—Was that bill discounted by your house ?
Witness—lt was, with others, and the amount was
credited to his account. It became due on the 29th of
i August, and was returned to the house as "not paid."
' Notice was sent of the nonpayment of the bill. I was out
; of town at the time, but I have no doubt that it was pre-
sented in the usual manner.

Mr. William Thomas, also a clerk in the banking house,
mid—l keep the discount ledger. This is the book in
which the first entries of all bills brought for discount
would be made. This bill was brought to me, according to
say own memorandum, on the 2tith of February, and en-
tered by me on that day to the credit of the account of
laeiah Westley.
Mr. Richard Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullen.,
solicitors, of St. Mildred's-court, said—ln consequence
of instructions which I received from the banking home
I caused inquiries to be made at Leeds for Mr. George
Hadar, a printer there, and have learned that no such per-
son is to be found. I cannot produce further evidence this
day on account of the diitauce of the place stated to be the
address of Mr. George Marlar.

upon which the alderman would be justified in detaining ha

There was no alteration in the value of English Wheat
this morning. The few parcels at market sold readily at
Monday's rates. In the absence of fresh supplies ul fo-
reign, holders of granaried parcels were firm, and needy
buyers had to pay full prices.
English Barley sold slowly at Monday's (mutations, whilst
foreign for grinding purposes wa, freely taken at that day's
rates.

The receipt of Outs during the week have been moderate,
and their value war well supported. Beans w, re saleable
on quite as good terms, and White Boiling l'eas were again
rather dearer.

ROMAN STATES.
Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 24th
October, states that the greatest anxiety prevailed in
the ecclesiastical circles on account of the French
ministerial crisis, and that the price of gold had risen
in consequence of the demand for Napoleons by
timid prelates. The system of centurions, or hired
government partizans, was being revived in some
provincial districts. The Council of Censure had,
nominally, concluded its operations. Some atrocious
cases of cruelty had occurred in the pohtical prisons.
An English family had been robbed near Perugia,
and the mail was stopped on the 14th lost., near
Castel Bolognese, although nine brigands had been
shot on the same morning at Bologna. Signor Dia-
milla, who was condemned to twenty years of the
galleys a year ago for having stolen a valuable col-
lection of gold medals from the Vatican, has just
been pardoned and set at liberty by the Pope.
The French commandant at Civita Vecchia had
again fallen out with the pontifical authorities.

NAPLES.
Our Naples correspondent writes on the 24th that
General Filangieri, Governor of Sicily, has arrived
in Naples, having been summoned by the king to
attend a cabinet council, in which the prmricty of
granting an amnesty will be discussed. Our corres-
pondent confirms the replacement of Prince Castelci-
cala at the court of London by Prince Carini. The
garrison of Gaeta is to be increased to 30,04)0 men.
The following additional particulars of the state of
Poerio and his companions since their arrival at
Ischia is from a gentleman who lately visited the
prisoners:
After Mr. Glatlsfone's interview with Poerio, the latter
gentleman, together with Piroute, Brice°, Captain Nisco,
and Aricelli, we re removed to the prison of Ischia, which is
reserved for the worst class of offenders. When they en-
tered the prison they found themselves in • damp vaulted
room, round which is a gallery. Here guards were placed,
provided with band grenades. The prisoners were com-
manded to confess their asserted crimes ; they were care-
fully starched, and Sulfar money taken from them. For
mane days they slept on the damp stones of the cell. Two
of the guards, via., Fahozzi and Andretta, were removed
from the prison, fur having made a favourable report of
the condaet of the condemned. Night and day they wore
the heaviest irons, and when they received assistance from
their friends, they were only allowed to buy the necessaries
of life ham a sort of cook-shop, which the government
allows a woman to keep within the prison, on payment for
the same. For three mouths they remained deprived of
sufficient clothing and every necessary of life. Their
prison became pestilential. The condition of the prisoners
is now much improved, particularly of those who, like
Poerio, arc in the infirmary, but all still wear their chains.
steamers Scourge and Fiebrand have ar-
rived in Naples. The Dragon is still at Leghorn.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

Papers from Adelaide to the 12th of July have
been received. The elections for the new Legislative
Council were proceeding at that date, and had not
terminated. The question of a state grant in aid of
religion was that upon which the elections chietly
turned. The Obserrer, of the 12th, chronicles with
pleasure the election of three more members is the
anti-state church interest. The Bishop of Sydney
and Metropolitan of Australasia has declared in fa-
vour of the principles of the Anti-Transportation
League, in a letter to the secretary of the New
South Wales Council of the .tastralasian League.

LETTER FROM KOSSUTH TO LORD

DUDLEY STUART.

80, Eaten-place, Oct. 30.
My dear Lord,—You write me that friends of
mine—or rather I must believe of the cause of Hungary—
of various shad:a of political opinion, have expressed to
you their intention of subscribing to present me with a
testimonial in acknowledgment of my humble endeavours.
You add that, having understood me gratefully and
respectfully to decline any similar tribute of a personal
nature, the idea has suggested itself to you and to your
friends, that I might not be unwilling to accept the
generous aid of your countrymen in furthering in this
country a due appreciation of the cause of Hungary. of the
necessity and certainty of its restoration to independence,
and in conveying to Hungary and Eastern Europe know-
ledge of the state of public opinion in these favoured lands,
which must eventually achieve its independence. I can
only say, my lord, that, able by my own exertions to secure
my own independence, and cons, guently declining, with
respect and gratitude, the personal tribute to which you have
made allusion, I eagerly accept all and any contributions
proffered to the cause my life has been devoted to uphold,
and shall be spent in forwarding I am, &e.

The final settlement of the account has formed a
portion of the business in the share market to-day,
and so far no difficulty appears to have been met
with. The fresh transactions appear to have been
very limited, and generally a slight feeling of flatness
observable, but with the exception of Midlands,
which have declined to -CI, there is scarcely any
change to be noted in prices. North Statfor6 are

AMPHITHEATRE.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.

This afternoon, one of the moat numerous meet-
ing* ever assembled within the walls of our amphitheatre,
was held, to adopt an Address of Welcome to Louis Kos-
suth, on Ids arrival iu this country. The time appointed
for tho meeting was 12 o'clock, at which hour the stage,
which had been convertnd into a plit•form for the occasion,
was only scantily attended; but immediately on the doors
being opened, the pit -was tilled by respectable parties, wits
had been waiting outside in crowds, and at the how of 1
o'clock, when must places of business in the town else
for an hour, every part of the house, boxes, pit, galleries,
and stage, ecame densely crowded.
' On the motion of Mr. JAMES MOLTNEVX, seconded by
Mr. STILT, W. Ratlthone, Esq. was voted to the chair.
After a few words from the CHAIRMAN,
Mr. BLACKBURNE, who was received with much
applause, said he hod the honour to submit the following
resolution to the meeting :—" That this meeting, regarding
Louis Kosauth, ex-Governor of Hungary, ns the representa-
tive of that noble struggle which the brave Hungarian
nation so long sustained for the preservation of their rights
and liberties, desire to tender to him the earnest expression
of their respectful sympathy; and believing that in the
extension of constitutional government will always be found
the best guarantee for internal tranquillity and int, r-
national peace, they would hereby record their strong
detestation of the re etion policy which now fatally
marks ea many of the governments of Europe.
Summoned by the 'voice of the nation to take the reins
of government, Kossuth had well devoted himself
to thu duties, rude on the whirlwind and directed
the storm—(Acers)—the nation sprung into a new
life of energy and activity—a new army sprang
into existence as it were in a day; and, stunt to
madness by the perfidy of the government of Austria, it
rushed to combat with a power and a success Iselore which
the hosts of the House of Hapsburg quailed and lied. (Laud
cheers.) But all the chivalrous deeds were futile against
Russian gold and the treachery of the camp. (I fear, In AO
It was impossible, however, that the despotism 1.1 die con-
tinent sl autocrats could continue for any length of tiine ;
and whether the change which must be wrought should bo
effected peaceably depended on the (governments, who, if
they trusted to the old defence of military power, would
tint that the advent of popular liberty would yet be ushered
in by a baptism of blued. (Hear, hear.) Mav Heaven in
its mercy, avert such a state of things. (The speaker
resumed his seat amid the most enthusiastic cheering.)
(..IEO. IIOLT, Esq., bristly seconded the resolution,which
was put from the chair, and unanimously carried.
The CHAIRMAN, its announcing the result, said, "Thank
God, in Liverpool there in not one taunt held up against it!"
Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND, in a speech of great power
and eloquence' then moved the following address, which
was seconded by Mr. Stewart, and also ucanimuusly
adopted :

THB POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.

Samuel Jones, a respectably dressed young man, was
charged with obtaining a quantity of goods from various
tradesmen upon fey ged orders.
Mr. William Swainson said—l am a fringe manufacturer,
of 72, Wood-street, Cheapside. On the 21st and 27th of
this month prisoner came to my warehouse and presented
these orders. They aro signed with the name of Walmesley,
one of my customers. Thu goods were supplied to him,
and I afterwards ascertained that prisoner had left Mr.
Walmcsley's employ prior to the date of both the orders.
He was detected in a similar transaction at Mrs. Ramsay's,
in Newgate-street, which led to his apprehension.
John l'rice said—l am clerk to the prosecutor. Ido not
recollect anything about the first order, but when prisoner
brought the order dated the 27th Oct., I supplied him with,
the good+, consisting of fringe furniture, value 335., which
be took away with him.
Gerard Pitmau—l am clerk to Mr.Walmesley, of 12, King-
street, Cheapsidc. Prisoner was in Mr. Wulmealey's employ
up to the early part of last June, when he left. He never
had any authority to write any orders. The two orders pro-
duced have never been issued, from our house, neither are
they signed by Mr. Walmesley. We never received these
goods from the prisoner.
Mrs Ilamsay's clerk produced a number of forged orders
upon which prisoner had obtained goods.
Smith, 171, said, on taking prisoner into custody, he ad-
mitted lie was guilty of the charge against him, and on his
person witness found several other forgeries of a similar
nature. Committed for trial.

small packages.

MELANCHOLY AND SINGUL R ACCIDENT. —A
building is the vicinity of St. Peter's church, Nottingham,
has been for some time undergoing certain repairs, the
works of which have been carrying on by and under the
active superintendence of Mr. Minn, a highly respectable
joiner, builder, &c. It appear. that Mr. Mason amongst
others, woo in possession of a ladder of great length, which
I hod been in us: n number of years. and had consequently
bee me much worn, and fur wear indeed insecure. Wed-
I neselay afternoon, he went to the building above referred
Ito, for the purpose of surveying the progression of the
j works, and determined, for his better satisfaction as

to how the works were proceeding to go to the
summit of the building. When Mr. Mason was
in the act of getting on to the ladder a brick-
layer at work near intimated that it was eteeedingly
uueafe, mud refused to go up. Hereupon Mr. Mason
mounted it, and was very injudiciously followed by another
party. When Mr. Mason had reached the summit, and the
man had got about It) staves up, the ladder snapped in two
hfeces in the centre. in consequence of which they were both
urled to the ground, Mr. Mason from • terrific height, and
his head, coming in contact with • hard stone pavement,
was completely smashed in pieces. Death was, of course,
instantaneous. The other unfortunate man wu seriously
injured.

tract the following :—" The rumours for some time
prevalent as to the arrival of increased Austrian
forces on the frontiers of Tessin were not without I
foundation. It only appears that the concentration
lof these troops has not been made in so
large pro- I
' portions as was anticipated. Letters from Bellinzona,
the present seat of the government, estimate at I
about 1,200 men the Austrian reinforcements ar- I
rived on the above frontiers ; the Tessin Gazette
says, four battalions. These troops have been spread
by small detachments a►ong the whole Tessinese
frontier, the pretest being the suppression of smug-
' filing. The federal council, however, has been emu-
' pied with this extraordinary movement—with
this display of force on one of the most
accessible points of our frontier, M. Pinata,
federal commissioner, has arrived at Bellinzona. It
is supposed that he is furnished with ample instruc-
tions to take the most urgent measures, in case of
any sinister eventualities. The authorities will
closely watch all the movements which may take
place on the Tessincse frontier. Measures have been
taken, that the central authorities may immediately
