Our correspondent states in his letter of the 4th,
that the state trials came to g close on the 31st ult.

Agresti, Faueitano—death. The following were con-
demned to the galley's for various terms:—the ex-
minister Carlo, Baron I'ocrio, 2-1 years; Captains
Disco and Margerhit, 30 years; Catulani, Veltuoci
and Brieco, 21 rears; Pironte and Romeo, 21 years;

Nlolincio, 500 ducats fine. Fender., Palotta, Seriale,
Gualtieri, and De Giovanni, acquitted.
Batelle and -.Mazza solitary confinement in irons for
life.

•The crime of Settembrini was that he drew up the
celebrated " protesta." Faucitano was instrumental
in preventing the papal benediction, by exploding
some combustibles against his person.
Great efforts were made, particularly by the di-
plomatic body, to influence the king, then at Casata,to
spare the prisoners condemned to death; and they
were ultimately attended with Pruevesa, the punish-
ment of death having been commuted into confine-
ment in the galleys for Faucitano was only
pardoned at the last moment.

CAPE TOWN, Du. 5.

You may recollect that when Sandill reftria4l to attend
the meeting, Sir Harry resolved to dept., him from his
chieftainship, which he did by having lain depasitiim mud
before• his people. After thin a commimioner (Mr. Browidee)
wan appointed to emceed him user the Gaikas, and it is
from Mr. Brownlee* jurisdiction that we have amounts of
wore di•turlattres having taken place. The eiretiminimee
was that an os was stolen from near Fort Hari and traced
to a Kaffir kraal, and on the theft being investigated, a
tictaelune't of police wan sent to the kraal to demand bier
head of cattle which were immediately paid. An the police
were driving them away a number of Kitttim, some with
muskets, collected together to rescue the cattle, which they
did, as the police were not nutticientiy numerous to resist
them. Mr. Brownlee investigated this outrage, and nen-
.

towed the bead num of the km-al, called Quariinli, to Kivu
up to hint the as and guns that were and in the attack,
and to pay a tine of 211 head fur the outrage; with which
demand Quarana said he would comply. 't the second out-
rage occurred within a few miter of king William's 'town,
to the drivers of two mule waggons, who wen• attacked by
Kattirs, and, what gives a peculiar complexion to this cane,
wen• robbed of their guns only. 'fh.w• report., with others
that the governor heard by last night mail, but which have
not yet trauvpired, have decided the governor to depart
inintediately for the frontier, and to take with him four
eurnitinies of the 73rd regiment, with 30 Artillerymen, and
two tieldpiee..s. 'flwy are ad embarking ut this moment
on board the Berms, that leiven for Bast London, tlw wet
