TO TRIO IDITOR Ol THE lITPILISS.

ant,—l read yesterday in your estimable Journal
a letter from M. Agostini, against which I think myself in
duty bound to protest, since it tends to cut the pave im-
putation of an abuse of confidence on the illustrious Mu-
sini—a man whose character claims the veneration of all
the friends of liberty. On the evening of the 10th instant,
in a numerous society of Italians, 20, Sherard-street, on the
question being put to him whether the proclamation of the
Italian committee had been written in London, M. Agos-
tini answered that iss bases had been here agreed upon,
though it bad been composed elsewhere. The fair in-
ference of such spontaneous declaration is, that Marini
and the other members of the revolutionary committee who
followed him to Italy, reserving to themselves to word on
the spot the proclamation according to the circumstances,
were authorised to join to their own the absent secretary's
signature.
Why, if it were otherwise, did he not make bis pro-
testation on the day after the arrival in London of the
printed copy of the proclamation in question, bat only a
week later ? His conduct in this respect is not unparal-
leled. There are persons, I for one, who will suspect that
they were waiting the definitive news of the success or the
failure of the insurrection, as reedy to share the honour or
the former as to repel the responsibility of the Litter. ''
Yours respectfully, DELLA ROCCO.

EMIGRATION OF DOCKYARD EMPLOTES.-A Rl-
merously attended meeting of employes belonging to her
Majesty s Dockyard at Portsmouth • as held on Wednesday
evening last for the purpose of considering the propriety of
farmiag an emigration loan society. The first resolution
was to the effect that shipwrights in this country were la-
bouring under many disadvantages, arising from the " ex-
cessive supply of the labour market," by which they were
placed in an inferior position in society, and that the only
means of alleviating their condition was by the pro-
motion of emigration to the Australian and other
colonies. This resolution was carried unanimously
the plan recommended being the payment by the
members of the association of threepence per week
each, from the fund so produced each emigrant being
allowed two-thirds of his expenses of passage-money and
outfit, the other third being advanced through Mrs. Chis-
holm. It was confidently anticipated that the loans so
granted would be honourably returned, at least be those
who might be successful. Another resolution for the
formation of an Emigration Loan Society for the
shipwrights of Portsmouth dockyard on the plan above
stated was carried, and a committee was appointed to carry
out the objects of the meeting. It was also determined to
invite Mrs. Chisholm to Portsmouth to give the required
information on the subject, the day to be fixed at her own
convenience.

missioned," comprise ever, grade between the officer
and the private. Only those above the rank of cor.
perste are included in the expression. The increased
charge to the budget will not, therefore, be very
heavy. But if Marshal St. Aruand's principle be
admitted, that the pay of all grants is
wholly inadequate to their social wants, and
that the pecuniary position of sub-officers
should be approximated to that of officers, the pre-
sent measure is but the beginning of a system which,
if carried out, would give the military class, already
fearfully strong, an intolerable preponderance. The
soldier's pay was raised 7 centimes per day by Mar-
shal Bourmont, after the taking of Algiers; and
there is certainly no reason founded upon the price of
provisions why it should be increased at this parti-
cular time. lam given to understand that the im-
mediate occasion for the measure was the dissatisfac-
tion felt among the sub-officers at the recent decree
enabling the colonels to break them without a court-
martial—a dissatisfaction so general, that it was felt

necessary to do something to gain popularity with
this important branch of the service.
Several domestic servants employed at the Tuile-
ries, suspected of having furnished court gossip to
strangers, have lately been dismissed, and it has
been intimated throughout the household that all
offences of the like kind will be severely dealt with.
On the subject of the reorganisation of the Minis-
try of the Interior to which I alluded yesterday, the
Patrie says :—" The press of Paris has given respect-
ing the reorganisation of the Ministry of the Interior
some information which is not completely corect.
The reports in circulation respecting the details of
this important project must be received with re-'
serve."

The tribunal of correctional police yesterday con-
demned a person named Dubernard to a months'
imprisonment, and 501 r. flue ; and another, named
Coady, to three months' imprisonment, and .50fr.
fine, for having need insulting language respecting
the Emperor, and excited to civil war.

THE WEAIHER AND TILE PARKS.
LOSS OF THREE LIVES.

The seenes which occurred yesterday in the
various total parks were such as can with difficulty be de-
scribed, for scarcely ten minute* elapsed without the ice
breaking and precipitating several persons into the water
beneath. From the time the Royal Humane Society's men
were called off duty on Seturday evening, a large number
of sliders and skaters continued to amuse themselves upon
the ice until nearly two o'clock a in. The thermometer at
the Royal Humane Society's Receiving House, Hyde Park,
fell in the course of Saturday night to 24, being three dep.
warmer than on the previous night, but during the middle
of yesterday it roes to 32. Bills were posted in each park
warning the public of the danger they exposed themselves
to if they ventured upon the ice, which was described as
being exceedingly rotten and fast thawieg. In spite, how-
ever, of the precautions given, about 42,000 persons ven-
tured on the ice in the various parks, while the banks of
the respective rivers were so crowded that it was a work of
no little difficulty for any of the society's men to pass to and
fro to render assistance to the persons immersed.
Oa the canal which is called after Sir John Duckett, and
skirts the east side of Victoria Park, three persons lost
their lives. Between four and five o'clock two boys were
walking ea the ice near Wa!son's lock, and were heard to
express their intention of trying how far it would bear.
They had scarcely the lock-house when the ice gars
way. mid they Mi utter Use water. • maw unknown,
dressed in the garb of • butcher, went from the beak an
to the ice with the intention of rescuing them, but the ice
broke under him, and he was immersed. A youth next
mane an attempt, and he also unfortunately met a similar
fate. He was followed by another boy, who put out •
stick, in the act of doing which the ice gave way by his
weight, and he fell in the midst of the four who were
already in the water, and who were clinging to
each other. At the moment there was neither •
rope nor • dreg with which to assist them
while on the banks ware the brothers of the two lads, who
could with difficulty be kept our of the water. Some per-
sons tied several sick handkerchiefs togeher, which were
thrown to the spot, by which and other means two were
got out. A maw namel Johnson, who lets boats on the
canal, brought up one of his boats, by which time, the drags
having been obtained from the City of Paris and the lock-
house, a search was made, and in about 15 minutes the
bodice: of the youths were found. Oae was taken to the
lock-house, where it was undressed and placed on a sofa
before the fire. The second youth was conveyed to the
City of Paris public-house. Surgeons, who were soon in
attendants, exhausted every resource of their art on the
two lads, but in vain ; both were beyond mortal aid. The
body of the man has not yet been found.

SPAIN.

The Queen of Spein ha—;c7rciscd her prerogative
to strengthen the ltoncali ministry by nominating 43
new senators. The Espana, Clamor Publico, and
Diario Espanol were seized on the 13th. The Nacion
and Las Noredades had experienced the same fate
the day before. A camp of manoeuvres is to be esta-
blished in the spring.

GERM ANY.
PRUSSIA.

An important question, scarcely thought of in
England, is discussed in the German press whenever
the Austrian possessions in Italy appear in danger.
It is, what would be the attitude of Prussia during a
critical struggle between the Austrian and his victim?
The answer of the court, the cavalier party, and the
army in Prussia, agrees with the close of the follow-
ing letter in the Frank/ort Post Gazette.
BZILLIN, Faa. 15.
"The events at Milan have produced a deep im-
pression here. The news reached the King by
telegraph on the night of the 9th, just as the court
was in the middle of a balL The King immediately
declared that the movement was connected with a
deep conspiracy which had its ramifications every-
where, and that it showed the necessity for the close
union of Prussia and Austria in presence of these
revolutionary movements. In the upper circles of
our capital things are looked at in the same point of
view, and a high functionary has said, We may
thus have to defend the Prussian crown on the
banks of the Po.'"

We have had within the last six months to chro-
niele the various steps by which the Emperor of
Austria has departed from the Schwarzenberg policy
in transactions with Prussia, and the sacrifices which
he has made to conciliate his northern neighbour. But
such an alliance as would bring North German troops
on the Po would be a misfortune for protestantism
and for Europe, bat most of all for Prussia herself.
The King of Prussia, a monarch whose character
in more than one respect resembles that of our
James 1., has taken fright at the reports from Milan.
In the first moments of alarm about twenty respect-
able inhabitants of Berlin were airested without ap-
parent cause.: The Kress Zeitsuig, although an
ultra-royalist paper, was confiscated for publishing
the apocryphal letter of Kossuth. On the 15th,
the ministry presented to the First Chamber a hasty
bill for empowering the government to prevent the
distribution of printed papers published out of the
monarchy.

Mr. Pierce %bony, whose severe illness I men-
tionel a week since, has, I regret to say, sunk under
him suffering's, and expired at his house in this city at
In early hour this morning. The active and useful
part which Mr. Ntahony has taken for many years
pit in Irish politics has made his loss in every re-
spect that of a valuable public man.
By the death of Mr. Mahony, a vacancy has been
tamed in the clerkship of the Crown for the Court of
Queen's Bench, an office worth about WO/. per
annum.

The important wiil case of Kelly v. Thewles, in-
yoking a property of more than 300,0001. in the
foods, and 3,0004 per annum from estates in
lad, came to a final judgment to-day in a commis-
ion of review. The will of the late Edmond Kelly
had been declared null by a Court of Delegates, on
the ground of undue influence exercised over the tes-
tator by his wife, the present appellant, to whom he
was married in his old age, and whose conduct in
the early part of her life was the subject of the se-
verest strictures of the court in giving judgment on
that occasion. Mrs. Kelly appealed to the late Lord
Chancellor, by whose directions the present oom-
minion of review was issued ; and the unanimous
itidgment of the court to-day was pronounced in
favour of the appellant, thus establishing the will,
mil reversing the decision of the Court of Delegates.
he case has, from the commencement, excited con-
siderable interest in Ireland.

FRIDAY EVllente.
There has been a good steady business to-day in
English mines. Alfred Consols shares appear to
have been chiefly in demand. The further rise in
rcopper and tin (noticed below) is calculated to impart
' a further stimulus to business in this department.
The sales to-day include :—South Bassett, at
580; North Pool, 315; South Caradon, 2021,
205; United Mines, 375; Dolcoath, 67; Com-
ford, 60 ; IVest Damsel, 135; Tremayne, 251 ;

The gold mining share market was characterised
by an upward tendency throughout the day, and
closed at its beet point. Nouveau Monde, were in
particular request. The tendency is evidently in
the direction ,of a revival of speculation in this
market

The shares of the old Australian Copper Com-
pany were also in demand, and after reaching n,
closed 81 to 7.

DRAMA.

FRENCH PLAYS—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Four farces were performed at this theatre last
night, in three of which Monsieur Ravel appeared. Only
one of them war new—a one-set vaudeville, called " Edgard
ct ea Bonne ;" a piece (like almost every ens in which he
takes • part) evidently written expressly for him. This
farce ezeuds all its precursors in the extravagance of its
buffoonery; but it is ludicrous in the extreme, and free
from the coarseness and indelicacy of which we have some
time& had reason to complain. Ravel enacts a grown-
up lad, spoiled by a doting mamma, who has got
entangled in a childish "affair of the heart" • ith
his mother's chambermaid, who, having got promises frAra
him and obtained possession of his portrait, rules him with
a road of iron. Edgar wants to break his chain, and is
about to enter into a marriage which his mamma has
made for him. A time Is fixed for signing the contract ;
end the plot consists of Edgar's devices to prevent the
suspicious chambermaid from finding out what is going on.
The discovery is saved ~ff for a time; and when it
at length takes place, its effects are neutralised by a
counter-discovery that the damsel has been receiving clan-
destine visits from another lover of her own degree. Ail
this gives rise to a great deal of very laughable buffoonery;
and Ravel, by his whimsical distresses and his manner of
imparting them in confidence to the pit (a favourite joke of
his), sometimes coppluti he audience with laughter.
Rasel is an ezeeelittglik dcedlUankse; and one of his pieties
any and then, mixed wit would form an agreeable
variety ; but there SI aha Vslaaai about them, which
be-
corcea monotippons when tut or three of them are given in
one evening ;; that we shall not ba sorry when the arrival
of new stars 9,44 attutua wiaticSher ljnda of pieces.

THIS DAY, —Two o'CLocs.

Very littleiusinessbasheen done to-day in the
gold mining shares, and in some instances proves are
Hat. Generally, however, there is little change from
the rates of yesterday.
Australian Agricultural shares rose to 264 at the
opening, but have since fallen partially again. Ez
the Pell River shares this stock opened buyers at
122, but is now quoted about 110 to 120. South
lAustralian Land have risen to 62 ; North British

ITALY.

Arrests are taking place on a large beak through-
out Lombardy. The gat risons receive reinforcements.
A private Liter from Milan in the ...Vete Zurich Ga-
zette statue that the insuiriction was to have broken
out on the ;ith, but that the chiefs., having been ap-
prised of the fact that the police had been informed
of it, countermanded the movement. Nevertheless
the order not having been generally made known,
the partial insurrection of the Gth took place.
The following tel.graphic despatch appears in the
dladyiburg Uautge cor the 13th:—"Vienna, Feb. 14.
At Stradella, in Piedmont, 700 insurgents have been
disarmed. The Piedniontese government has at the
same time adopted very stringent measures against
persoi.s crossing the Austrian frontier."
A deputation of Ntilanese notables has repaired to
Vienna, to sae for the revocation of Itadetzskv's vin-
dictive decree. The old marshal is still at Verona,
his usual residence.

The oil= in command of the guard at the Vice
Regal Palace at Milan, when it was surprised by
the insurgents, has been degraded ”nd sentenced to
serve as a common soldier. The execution of several
soldiers is reported.
Advices dated simultaneously from Berne, Splugen,
Bellineona, and Vienna, make known that Radetzsky
has cut otf all communications between Lombardy
and Switzerland, and the frontier is hermetically
closed. The Milan diligence still travels as far as
Itellinsona, but carries no passengers. Letters
front Lugano, and the Zurich Gazegle, state that the
Austrians have given semi-official assurances that
this state of things will be continued only for two
or three days, until they shall have had time to arrest
the suspected.

GERMANY.
AUSTRIA.

The Austrian government is pouring fresh troops
into Lombardy. The Lloyd of the 12th has the fol-
lowing: "A day or two ago when the Hungarian
infantry regiment, Prince Schwarzenberg, left for
Milan, the Emperor addressed them in the Runge-
gun language, and his speech called forth a most ex-
traordinary enthusiasm. Yesterday the same thing
occurred on the departure of the Gallician regiment,
Rossbach. When the Emperor had finished his ha-
rangue the civets resona&d so loud that they were
heard from the Gloggnitz station as far as the lines."
Thus are the various nationalities of this piebald
monarchy played off against one another.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Leon Nathan was charged with having stolen 43 sove-
reigns, the property of Solomon Joel, chiropodist, 9, Po-
land-street.
The prosecutor said the prisoner called upon him on Sun-
day mornirig, and being on familiar terms he was admitted
into his bedroom while dressing. Prosecutor took out of
his pocket his purse, which contained 43 sovereigns, and
placed it in a drawer in the room. The prisoner must have
seen this, fur when he left the house prosecutor in a minute
or two afterwards missed the purse from the drawer. He
immediately suspected the prisoner and set off in pursuit.
He succeeded at lan in discovering him in a cab going over
London-bridge. The cab was stopped, upon which the pri-
soner drew s knife, jumped out, and said he would kill the
prosecutor if be came near him. The prisoner attempted
to make his escape, but was secured. Prosecutor could
identify one of the stolen sovereigns, in consequence of its
being cracked.
Evidence was brought forward to prove that the prisoner,
after the sovereigns were stolen, had redeemed some watches
he had in pledge, and had, amongst other money, paid
away a cracked sovereign to one of the pawnbrokers.
The cracked sovereign was produced and sworn to by the
prosecutor as one of the stolen sovereigns.
The prisoner denied the charge, and was remanded.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUMMY EVIINING.
Yesterday, on the occasion of the Fête Napoleon,
the Emperor and Empress found assembled, at twelve
o'clock, at the Tuileries, in the salon of Louis XIV.,
Prince Jerome Napoleon, Prince Napoleon, the
Princess Mathilde, Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte,
Prince and Princess Murat, and Prince Fredenek of
Hesse. These princes and princesses addressed their
felicitations to the Emperor on the occasion of his
fete. His Majesty afterwards received the congra.
tulations of the Ministers and principal personages
of the state.

At half-past twelve o'clock their Majesties, accom-
panied by the princes and princesses, and attended
by the other persons present, proceeded to the chapel,
where a musical mass was celebrated, under the di-
rection of M. Anber. The mass terminated with
• Te Dews. The Bishop of Nancy officiated.
On leaving the chapel, the Empress with-
drew to her apartments. The Emperor then
proceeded to the Salle du Tittle, and there
received the felicitations of the Diplomatic Corps,
who were introduced by the Grand-master of the
Ceremonies. The Emperor, in taking the hand of
the ambassador of England, said to him : "I thank
the diplomatic body for its congratulations. What
could be most agreeable to me this day is to be-
hold the peace of Europe consolidated—at least I
consider it so—without that result having cost
anything to the dignity and amour-propre of any
nation." Immediately after were admitted to
pay their respects to the Emperor, the President of
the Senate, the members of the bureau, and the
senators who had joined them; the President of the
Legislative Corps, the members of the bureau, and
the deputies now in Paris; the President of the
Council of State, the presidents of section, and a
great number of the members; the grand dignitaries
of the Legion of Honour, the First President, Pre-
sidents, and Procurcur-General of the Court of Ces-
sation, &c.
A grand dinner was given by their Majesties
yesterday at the Tuileries. Before the dinner,
during the concert which was given beneath the
windows of the palace, their Majesties appeared at
the balcony looking on the garden, and were most
warmly received. In the course of the evening their
Majesties received Queen Christina and her daugh-
ter, the Duke de Rianzares, the members of the
diplomatic corps, the presidents of the great bodies
of the State, the members of the Senate, of the
Legislative Corps, and of the Council of State, and
several foreigners of distinction. At nine o'clock
their Majesties, followed by the persons invited,
proceeded to the Pavilion de Fiore, where the
Empress gave the signal for the fireworks. At half-
past ten their Majesties returned to St. Cloud.
The illuminations which terminated the fete of
Monday were beautiful beyond all description. The
conception was of unparalleled grandeur and the
execution perfect.
The cost of the fete is officially stated to be 28,0001.
sterling.
The Emperor's speech to Lord Cowley did not pro-
duce so much effect upon the Bourse to-day as might
have been expected. A little disappointment was
expressed that no official announcement of the adhe-

amendments to this bill were agreed to.
DUBLIN CARRIAGES BILL.
• . .

On the motion that the Lords' amendments in this bill be
agreed to,
Mr. VANCE objected to the alterations made by the
Lords in the penalty clauses, on the ground that their
lordships had no power thus to alter provisions relating to
money.
Sir J. YOUNG said the alterations in quest,on had been
made under the best advice.

The SPEAKER read a standing order declaring that in
cases in which penalties were enacted to secure the execu-
tion of the act, the House of Commons would not insist on
its ancient privilege.
The amendments were then agreed to, and
The horse adjourned at halt-put 7 till 3 o'clock on
Friday.

The only features in the Stock Exchange are a de-
