POWNYOUTH.—A plan of applying the wheels of steam.
vessels, by which, it is said, great advantages will be gained,
has been made public. A model, about three feet in length,
has been sent to England, in the Modeate, and landed at
Portsmouth, for the inspection of the Admiralty. Capt.
Henderson' of the steam-ship Sampson, is stated to be the
inventor. The novelty is thus described " The form of the
wheels is to be oblique, which will lessen their weight one-
fourth without reducing the float surface, and the uplift at
backwater will not be no great as with perpendicular wheels.
and the whole will be more covsred and protected from shot,
and the machinery will be much reduced in weight and
quantity, and may be placed very low in the bottom. The
figure or form of the vessel may be of the finest description ,•
iustcad of the hollow or indented side which steam-vessel/
generally have a curve may be given. .which would facili-
tate its being rendered bomb-proof, in way of the machinery
at hest. By a slight contrivance for heaving up the outer
end of the paddle-shaft, the wheels may be lilted at pleasure
from six to eighteen inches, to accommodate them to the
difference of the draught oiwater consequent on the evpen.
diture of cosi, from day to day in a steam-ship. The "heels
being placed ob'iquely will render the ship less liable to the
rolling motion complained of in steamship. generally. and
much space will be gained for the stowage of coals and
stores."

Letters from her Majesty's sh artier Sty: have been re-
ceived up to Bth Nov. Com. Chaste had on that day sent to
St. Helena the thirteenth slave-vessel which be had captured,
thus proving that the trade was in full activity. The officers
and crew of the Sty' were in excellent health and spirit*.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Our Paris despatches of yesterday morning have
arrived. After the brilliant debate of Tuesday, and
veeches like those of MM. Thiers and Duchatel, the
discussion of Wednesday, on the same" subject, had
the flatness, and insipidity of a twice-told tale. In
fact, M. Thiers bad exhausted the subject, and it were i
better to have closed it. The ph on the
finances which afforded the ground of the discussion,
was adopted on Wednesday, as was also the third para-
esph, on the postal reforms and salt duty reduction.
The spirit which animates the French government
is indicated, in a very unequivocal manner, by the
cold silence with which the noble struggle now main-
tained in Sicily is regarded by their organs of the
press. The Debats of yesterday excludes from its
columns all the details of the events in Sicily brought
by the Ville de Marseilles, and gives extracts from
two letters deploring the "dolorous spectacle of civil
tsar." Not a syllable of admiration or sympathy is
given to the generous actions we have related by the
organ of the throne which has been erected by the
beeves of the three glorious days. The feeling every-
where in Paris excited by the government is one of
unmitigated disgust.
The news from Naples had no perceptible effect on
the French funds at the Bourse on Wednesday. The

FRANCE.

Pettis, WIDNIISDAY, 1130 a.m. I
Much severe animadvendon has been excited by
the paragraph which appeared officially in the Moose-
tar yesterday, disavowing certain expressions
to have been used by General Ca.-
in reference to the mediation of France
E is the Italian question. This
paragraph that Gen. Grantee° never stated
that the mediation was imposed by France on Austria.
Now it is perfectly wellknown that this statement was
made to numerous repnssntatives, not only by Gen.
°enigma bat also by P. Beard, Minister of the
Interior.
The debate upon tbe " droit du travail " cantinas',
and seems likely to continue. If all the representa-
tives whose names are inscribed persevere in their in-
tention of splitting, it is difficult to know when or
where the debate -will end. The number inscribed
yesterday afternoon was 32 ; to day it is 60.
The themes of swam of the communist party in
the Paris elections is reported to be increased. There
are thirty candidata of the moderate party for threw

ADMIRALTY COURT.

Before Dr. Loaltington.
THE Gautertzr.—J uDOMENT.-1 he court gave judgment
in this case. The ship Gauntlet was hound front Liverpool to
Matoland with a valuable cargo, said to be worth about
20,0001. On the voyage out the mate and crew placed the
master, Kennedy, in confinement, on the plea that he was
insane. When the Gauntlet arrived at Guatemala the
authorities of Mexico in that port were applied to, when the
commandant went on board the vessel, and brought the
captain ashore, at the same time placing the vessel under a
military guard. Atter a few weeks the master was released,
and went to Mazatland to apply to the British authority
there, there being no Eng.isti representative at the
port of Guatemala. In consequence of this great delay a
considerable expense was incurred, which the agents ler the
cargo and the charter master. declined to discharge, or in
any way make themselves liable, for, when a Mr. Jefleries,
a merchant of Liverpool, being in that country, and know-
ing the owners of the vessel and cargo, undertook to diee
charge the claims, which amounted to 1,6001., first apply-
ing so the master, Kennedy, to examine the accounts, which
he did, and then be gave a bottomry bond for the amount.
Upon arriving home, Mr. Jetferies applied for the payment
of the bond, which the owners declined paying, on the plea
that it was an illegal instrument, on account of its being
forced from *e master, and that the charges were exor-
bitant.
The court went through the whole of the arguments, and
commented upon the evidence, when it decided
upon the validity of the bond, considering that
Machin, who acted II agent for the charter parties,
had admitted the accounts to be correct by not having
raised the objection to them. It was also said they were ex-
orbitant, but the court could see nothing improper in them ;
they appeared legitimate, and might be included in a
bottomry bond. It had been argued that the muter was
not a consenting party to the expenses, as he was out of pos-
session of the vessel. Yet, with all these statements, the
court felt it must decide on the validity of the bond; but it
would refer the accounts to the registrar. It would neither
grant the salvage nor the costs of 1301., which were incurred
ut Mexico in enforcing the bond, ae it was out of the juris-
diction of the court. The other charges, it thought, the
owners could not complain of ; they were charges incurred
contingent on all owners of ships when their vessels arrive
to foreign ports, and they must be content to incur them.
court, therefore, confirmed the bottomry bond, but it
.1 the question of costs.

NAPLES.

By the Pericles, arrived at Marseilles, we have
letters from Naples to the 18th. The Chamber was
dissolved, the city declared in a state of siege, and un-
limited liberty of devastation and pillage conceded
to the troops and the larzaroni.
The national guard is represented to have acted
with the greatest heroism. Attacked at once by four
regiments and a great f..rce of artillery, it submitted
to destruction, but did not yield. The King, who
commanded these atrocities, had published a hypo-
critical proclamation, announcing the formation of a
new civic guard and a new convocation of the
Chambers.
An insurrection is announced in Calabria,the popu-
lation of which it was said was about to march
upon the capital; the troops had been ordered out to
oppose them. Meanwhile the Lazzaroni were allowed
to overrun the city, waving white flags, carrying
images of the Virgin, shouting " Viva el Rey !" spread-
ing terror and despair, and committing the usual
atrocities.
Admiral Baudin had, it was said, demanded
800,000 francs as an indemnity for the losses sus-
tained by French subjects.
Advice, from 'Messina to the 17th have arrived.
On the ISth the citadel recommenced firing on the town.
The inhabitants immediately returned the fire, but
the commandant of the citadel, Gen. Pronoi, seeing
that there was no appearance of surprising the town,
ceased his fire on the 16th.

ROME.—We have received to-day letters from
Rome of the evening of the 18th May. They say
that since the Rth nothing important had occurred at
Rome, and disprove tho truth of the letters from
Civita Vecchia, stating that the ministry was about
to be dissolved, and that new troubles had occurred.
Cardinal Giacchi had refused, on account of his
health, the presidency of the Council of Ministers and
the Portfolio of Foreign Ecclesiastical Affairs, which
had been offered to Cardinal Aurat, Legate of

The jury having been called over, the clerk of the crown
proceeded to read the indictment, which the prisoner's
counsel demanded that Ye should do at length. The first
publication on which reliance wee placed was a speech de-
livered by Mr. Mitchel, In Limerick, and subeequently
printed in the roiled Irishman. Next he read another
publication from the 13th of May, 1848, entitled
"The Times on Rebellion." From the same journal,
another article of the name date, entitled "To
the Protestant farmers of Ireland." The second and third
counts were the same as the first ; the fourth count varied
the othar three. There were iq .11 ten counts, varying the
charge, all founded on the peblications of the Gth and 13th
May. ft was now, after the reading of the indictment,
26 minutes to 6 o'clock.
The Attorney General said he did not like to break the
case ; and a• it was imposaible it could tiemivate, or even the '
opening, he would ask if their lordships could hare any
objection t) adieu= till tomorrow, when the whole trial
must conclude.
This arrangement was acceded to, and the jury was locked
up, with iostructione to the sheriff to afford them all proper
refreshment.

IMPORTANT FROM IRELAND.

APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES.

FItIDAY NORNINTO.
The clubs assembled last night and held a long de-
liberation. I saw them returning, but in no regular
order, as each wended back its way to its paricular
place of meeting. To-eight, as I informed you,
the programme of the " pilent demonstration" will
be finally settled. The object of all this moving
to and fro is to prevent the '4 packing " of the
jury on Mr. Mitchel's trial. It is resolv.d, I under-
stand, to send four warning deputations—to the 1.0,d-
Lieutenant, the Attorney•Geueral, the High Sheriff,
and Crown Solicitor, conjuring all these high authori-
ties to abstain from any course pnjudici4l to the in-
terests of justice, and leave the panel as undisturbed
as the movements of the clubs. How the Lord. Lie-
utenant will receive the deputies of D'Olier-street it
is not difficult to anticipate. He will not receive them
at all, unless they come in another and less menacing
guise.

Since the foregoing wee received, we have accounts
from Dublin up to last evening, which etute that the
police commietioners had issued a cautionary pro-
clamation against the assemblage of proceemons is

federate clubs were to defy the authorities, and merch

the only weans of t flettually driving the Austrians i
out of Lombardy, and establishing its independence, of
that power are to form an union with Piedmont,
and that nationality can only be assured by unity.
But that not wishing to assume the respon-
sibility of a measure so important, the Pro-
visional Government ordered that registers be
opened in all the parishes and communes of Lom-
bardy, to receive the votes of the inhabitants,
so that the quest' shall be decided by the universal
suffrage of the people.
The votes are to be given either for immediate
union, or for the adjournment of the question till the
termination of the war.

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

SIIRIVENLIAM, Friday Night.—Capt. Blair, R.N.,
the unfortunate gentleman whose case has excited so much
sympathy in connexion with the late accident on the
Great Western Railway, died at 8 o'clock on Thursday
evening, having lingered eight data from the date of the
sad catastrophe. An inquest was held on the remsine of
the unfortunate deceased this morning, before Mr. Was.
borough, coroner for Berk*, and the same jury previously
empunelled on the other cases. The body having been
viewed, the Rey. Mr. Atkinson proved its identity.
Mr. John Hall Barnett, surgeon of Fariogdon, proved
having been in cotntant attendance upon the deceased from
the e,iol of the accident up to his death. The mu of
death was the dislocation of the Gth vertebra of the spine.
The several witnesses Carter, Mose, Hinging., snd 1144C0:',
on being called confirmed their previous testimony, but
stated no new facts. Mr. Hudson, the station-clerk, also
repeated his evidence.
George Haynes, carpenter, of Shrivenham, said he hail
just taken a ticket from the station-clerk, and was sitting on
the up-platform when the camas train to which the accident
happened came up. After the train hail passed he uw Cept.
Blair lying upon his back upon the down line, with his
shoulders on the rails. Witness went to him and attempted
to pick him up, when he fell on one side, and witness, (raring
be was seriously hurt, obtained assistance, and got him coo-
' veyed to the R idyll lnn.
There being no other witnesses, the Coroner addressed the
jury, remarking that the feet, seemed to him to be very
similar to those proved at the last inquest. He thought all
they had to consider was, whether Capt. Blair died from the
effects of the injuries resulting from the accident.
The ju7 w. re unanimously of thts opinion, and accord-
ingly confirmed their former finding, viz., " Manslsughter
against JUDE' Weybury and William Willoughby," leaving
the policeman, Psrgetter, ae far u they were concerned,
to be dealt with by his employers.

GERMANY.

The German journals received last night are nn-
usually barren.
The If Z.itunn, of 14th May, announces the
arrival of Major-Ginerat von Auer, who has been
supereadid since the events which took place at Udine
in March, to demand an investigation of his case,
which his been granted by the war department.
The pr, chunation by which Mannheim was placed
under martial law was withdrawn on the 11th inst.,
but public meetings are still prohibited, and the arras
of the municipal guards are only to be restored after
the corps has Inca re-organised. Hecker has pub-
lished his version of the death of von Gager°. It is
in effect, that the conference under a flag of truce had
been closed; that the republicans bad resumed their
original position ; and that the troops of the line had
actually tired upon them before the shots were fired on
their part by one of which Von Gagern fell.
Frankfort dates are to the 17th. At the last sit-
tings of the Diet a motion for the appointment of an
interim central authority, till the meeting of the con-
stituent assembly, had led to nothing. The Diet had
received reports from their agents in London and
elsewhere on the practicability of purchasing ships of
war. The business of the exchange at Frankfort
continued depressed.
Berlin continued quiet on the evening of the 16th.
News from Poe. n to the 13th of May represented the
insurg. tits as scourin,4 the. country in detached par-
ties, and attacking the Jew/3.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Sesreuce eon l'ekr Cite UNDitit THE MARRIAO3
RroihTttaTioN Brown, a gentlemaniy-oreered
man, apparently about sixty years old, was placed at the bar
to receive judgment. The defeedant was convicted at a re-
etnt session of this court of the offence of making a false
statement before the clergyman upon the occasion of the re-
gidration of hla marria,te with a young lady, named Esther
Field, which, by the Births and Marriages Registration Act,
constitutee the offence of perjury. The cireumstances of the
case were of rather a singular character. The young lady,
who wait at the time not twenty years old, and who is en-
titled to property amounting to twelve hundred a year, was
staying with her relations at Tring, and after the defendant
had been aerie anted with her about three months, she con•
sented to run away with him, and thy came to London
ad were married ; but when the ceremony was
performed the defendant made false representations
with regard to the ago of the lady, and also as to her
residence. lie was subsequently indicted for the offence
above mention, d, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty ;
but upon oliji.eiions that were taken by his counsel, Sir F.
Thesiger, judgment was respited, in order that the judges
might take the objections into consideration.—Mr. ust', e
Coltman now delivered the judgment of the court ; and after
referring to the objections raised by the defendant's counsel,
maid that the judges were of opinion they could not be sus-
tained, and that the conviction was right. lie had, there-
fore, only to pronounce the seutence agreed noon by the
learned Judges who tried him, which was that he be impri-
oohed and kept to h ird labour for 64 calendar monthe—The
defendant, who appeared very much surprised at the sen-
tenes, bowed 0, the court and then retired from the bar.
Tait Anntvricirt Case.—Mr. Ballengee applied to the
court to postpone the trial of a gentleman named Barnett, who
was indietel for the abduction of a young lady named Harvey,
from Thamad, in Baez. He said that he was quite prepared

ITALY.

Intelligence from Venice of the 3rd inst. has reached
us by electric telegraph, stating that the union of the
Venetian provinces with Sardinia was proclaimed on
Oat day by the united voice of the people, the
chamber, and the civic guard.
The Caslituzionale Sabalpina of Turin, of the ith,
has advices from Bologna of the Ist, confirming the
report of the passage of the Adige at l'onton by the
Piedmontese. It also appears that the Dake of Savoy
attacked the Austrians in the plain of the Focacce,
between the Julian and Rhaetian Alps; but there
,is no official news of the encounter. There are 10,000
Austrians at Verona, 12,000 at V cenza, 4,000 at
Mantua, 2,000 at Legnago, and garrisons at Treviso,
Rovigo, and Padua.
The Arrenire d'ltalia of Milan of the Gth announces
from Peschiera (300. ult.) that Charles Albert has
charged his plan of operations, and given up the
idea of attacking Verona. his present plan
appears to be, to leave a body of 25,000
men to defend the line of the Mincio, while the
main body would paaa the Po at Borgoforte
traverse a part of the Modenese, pass the Po again at
Brescello o- Ferrara, and deliver the Venetian pro-
vinces from the presence of the Austrians. After
these operations Verona would be blockaded. The
present inaction is relieved now and then by skir-
mishes with the advanced posts. On the Ist inst.
the Duke of Genoa repulsed the Austrians at Rivoli.

SPAIN.

The usual mails from Spain have not come to hand,
but we find the fallowing details as to the movements
of General Cabrera from his en' ry into Spain up to
the 2nd inst. :

Atter croe ing the frontier with two aidehde-camp and
the chiet of his staff, General Arnao, Cabrera met the
column of Baeguies, who was waling for him. Cabrera
pat himself at the head of his troops and marched on Gom-
breri, where he formed a junction with Generals Forcadell
and Critelli, having under their orders some companies
principally composed of officers armed with muskets. On
the 25th Cabrera passed the night at Perafita, and the fel-
leering evening formed a junction with the forces of the
Chief Altaseira, and marched on Castell-tersol, six leagues
from Barcelona. On the 27th he received in the environs of
D'Aigua-freda a reinforcement of four companies of infantry
and a detachment of cavalry commanded by Cabecilla Pozen
All the united forces encamped that night at Sarsalus. On
the 28th Cabrera having heard that a division of 1,500 men,
under General Nianzanos, had advanced with an intention
of surroumting him, immediately prepared for an engage-
ment. Generals Castells and Forcadell took up positions
on the heights of tne Sierra do Caluca. Cabrera commanded
the rear guard with • part of the company of Puzai and all the
cavalry he could spare. Shortly after the firing commenced. The
enemy, being superior in numbers, endeavoured to surround
them, and could is shape have succeeded had not Cabrera,
taking a sudden resolution, and putting himself at the head
of his cavalry, broke by a desperate charge the centre of the
enemy's column : this charge had the effect he anticipated.
The column broke in the centre, retreated on its wings,
leaving some prisoners in his hands and several dead on the
field. Alter this success Cabrera marched towards St.
Saturnin, and passed the night at some distance from
L trrupa, the garrison of which made no attempt at a sortie.
The 30th was passed in skirmishes between the troops of
Cabrera and three columns of the enemy of abt art 2,000 men.
Cabrera having received towards the end of the day a reinforce.
ment of 300 men, led by the Cabecilla Salanis, determined to
attsek the enemy at Vidra, but the latter retired. On the
Ist JOT, at break of day, Cabrera marched rapidly to repass
the Ter at Ripon, and took up a pssition at Gombreri. On
the 2nd, everything showed that a decisive combat would
take place at Ibis point. (This did take place, and, as we have
stated, Cabrera obtained a signal advantage over the Qum 's
trcops.)

RUSSIA.—The CllOLEßA.—According to the
Air la Chapelle Gazette at the 9th, not lon than 3,500
coats of choler► had occurred in St. Peter•hurg up to the
latest intelligence from that city. It appears, however,
that the malady is not of a very virulent kind. Two or three
casea have occurred on board a steamer which arrived at

LOMBARDY.—On the 19th, at one o'clock, the
fire from the besiegers was opened on Peschiera.
200 pieces of cannon thundered against the fortress.
The firing continued until Bat night. The first shot
brought down the steeple of Peachier&
The Union lialianne has a letter from Parma of
the 20th, which says:—" Yesterday evening a great
crowd collected at the Episcopal palace and ordered
the bishop to leave immediately, who was obliged
in come quenoe to leave the city. The episcopal
arms were taken down and buried, and the city was
illuminated in the evening."
A Neapolitan squadron of five steam-firigates, two
sailing frigates, and a brig, has arrived at Venke,
when the Austrian fleet immediately set sail. On the
18th (as we read in the RUtorgimento of the 23rd),
another part of the Neapolitan squadron anchored at
Venice.
PAPAL STATES.—Advises from Rome of the
18th say that the elections for deputies had com-
menced. The acrulin is to remain open for some
days. The city of Rome has been divided into six
colligea. It is thought that but a small number of
electors will take a part in this operation, as constitu-
tional manners have not yet penetrated the mass.
The council of state was erected by a ministerial or-
dinance of the 12th May. It is composed of ten ordi-
nary councillors, five extraordinary councillors, and
twenty-four audttsurs. Four monsignori are among
the number. Each councillor, it is said, is to receive
a salary of 100 piastres per diem.
The carOs, the journals, the tribunes of the street,
utter orations against his Holiness, not as pontiff hut

hint with bouquets. The separation of the two powers
is only a question of time.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SATURDAY, G 30 A.m.
The police have at length, in spite of the many
friends who attempted to favour his escape, caught
Blanqui.
To-day (Friday), at 6in the evening (says the
Mani/e'er), Auguste Blanqui was arrested in the
rue Montholon No. 14.
The part taken by him in the affair of the 15th
May is well known. At the national assembly he
was among the orators who occupied for a long time
the tribune. At the Hotel-de-Ville he was named
one of the members of the provisional government
which the insurgent parties intended to establish.
Since then, though constantly pursued, he managed
always to escape.
Blanqui was conducted to Vincennes under strong
escort. On his read thither he spoke in the most
incoherent manner: he wept, laughed, and sang by
turns; hewpoke of his wile, his children. He ex-
claimed, " There is but one republican in France—it
is myself." When he arrived at Vincennes it appears
he said, " not place me near BarbCe, he is a fool.
Ile has lost the game ; he is a bad player;' and then
he fell in a state of absolute prostration. When the
keeper carried him some food he said, "Go and tell
them that if they have gut the head of lilanqui they
have not got all ; before a month I shall be higher
than the cathedrals. Oo and tell them that."
l'aris continues to be filled with alarm at the
prospects of another ;mettle. According to rumours
the last day of the month is fixed for this proceeding.
Iteport gives a variety of forms to the threatened
demonstration. One of the most definite is that of a
banquet proposed to be given in honour of the heroes
of the 15th. The place of this manifestation is appro-
priately selected. It is to be at St. Mande, near the
Cagle of Vincennes, in which MM. Barbee, Albert,
and others are confined.
A proposition to repeal the proscription against the
Bonaparte family hes been brought before the assem-
bly, signed by MM. Louis Blanc, Sarrut, Larabit,
Durrien, ten. Suberrie, Henri Bertrand, Degousee,
and Conti.
It is said that the executive commission have made
up their minds to accept the decree to be proposed to
the assembly, regulating their relations with it.
A project of law has been laid before the assembly
for postal reform, adopting the uniform rate of four
sons, independent of distance within the French terri-
tory, but nothing (no far as I am informed) has been
said of prepayment or the system of stamps.
Another project of law for the re-establishment of
divorce .b
divorce brought forward, the principal
conditions of which would De, if adopted, as follows :
The husband may apply for divorce on ground of adultery.
The wife may apply on ground of adultery, if the husband
bare kept the party in the house in which he and his wire
reside. husband or wife en 4 apply on ground of cruelty
or serious injury from one to the other. The oondemcation
of one party to an infamous punishment shall be ground of
divorce. Mutual consent of husband and wife for a given
time, and espreseed in a manner prescribed by the law,
with the conditions imposed by the law, shall be a ground
of divorce.
