FATHER OAYAZZI'S THIRTEENTH ORATION
YESTERDAY AT THE PRINCESS'S CON-
CF .KT HALL.

"CLERICAL FINANCE IN ITALY."
The subject of our eloquent patriot's address on
this oceasion involved such a multiplicity of local
details and allusions to strictly national usages that
the greater portion of what he said would require
explanatory comments to make its vigorous and
telling truths intelligible to the British public. The
fervor. vivacity, and abundance of his oratory was
perhaps never so conspicuous. but could only be
appreciated by his compatriots in the NH extent of
its impressive reasonings. The topic naturally
subdil idetl itself into real and personal pro-
perty : in the first part the evils of mortuntin
and the crying abuses attendant on the mis-
manopment of church lands were ably set tbrth..,
The prolific abominations of pluralism and nepotism
were held up with masculine energy le this Italian
returner, whose views on eeclesiastical revenues go
the extreme length of the must stringent advocates
among ourselves fur rigorous scrutiny into the budget
of the church. The origin and development of seve-
ral great households and princely families in the
Roman states was traced to priestly peculation; few.;
indeed. being the aristocratic names in the muster
roll of that effete and degenerate. as well us servile
and illiterate nobility. which are not stamped with.
the ignominious bruna of papal nepotism. Nor were
"modern instances" wanting to elucidate the work-
ing of this nefarious system. Lambruschini,
who, for a quarter of a century. was the
petaiding genius of the popedom, had taken
care to feather his nest. A poor Barnabite
. friar (like himself) at his outset in life, he had, by
doing the work of Austria, climbed the ladder o
preferment, and had already purchased lands to an
enormous amount. forming the opener of an earl-
dom or courtship to be enjujed by his nephew and
heirs in perpetuity. Who was Antonelli ? The

recordi of the criminal courts at Rome during the
occupation of the French under Napoleon, make
honourable mention of his worthy father, condemned
to death as the accomplice of the brigand Gasparone,
whose exploits at Tcrracina have been immortalised
•• Fra Diavolo." The valour of that accom-
plished bandit shed a kind of halo over his name;
but Domenico Antonclli's share in the business was
the disposal of his comrade's robberies, being what is
called the broker or fence through whom the stolen
property was converted into dollars. This illustrious
paternity of the Pope's present prime minister is
matter of public notoriety in Rome, and equally so
the means through which the offspring of a con-
victed thief obtained the office of treasurer to the
papal government ; a cardinal's hat decked the brows
of the sun whose father sported the conical and more
picturesque feather and head gear of the high-
wavman. (Cheers.) Nor did his habits of
public plunder desert him in his new capacity;
for he dealt in corn during years of scarcity, and, •
under the firm of his merchant brother, "realised
, enormous sums by traffic in human hunger, as the
mercantile community of Rome can testify. The
house of Antonelli, the impenitent thief, has now to
be admitted among the ignoble aristocracy of our
• down-trodden land, and another bright illustration
added to the annals of clerical rapacity. The oppres-
sive operation of the tithe system, as affecting agri-
cultural interests in Italy, was skilfully demon-
strated, and particularly to Piedmont, where the
parliament of the country was now engaged in a
fierce struggle with vested wrongs in the effort to
liberate the territory from an incubus which every
enlightened kingdom in Europe had flung oft; as the
preliminary to notional improvement. 'the speaker
advocated a government provision fur the priesthood,
in lieu of the capricious and disproportioned
incomes derivable from fluctuating soarers of revenue,
involving the cures and solicitudes of worldly lucre
discreditable to clerical pursuits and the sacerdotal
character. A regulated allowance. under the super-
, vision of the public, was the true substitute for the
present vicious anungement, productive as it was of
swamis of consecrated idlers, who fitttened on the
industry of the people in unprofitable sloth. The
multiplicity of priests was an evil of atrocious mag-
nitude in the Peninsula; and the words of Alfieri,
• 'wen siutio pochi e quieti," spoke the aspiration of
every honest man. The statistics of the clergy were
here entered upon, and forcible proofs adduced to
show what a hideous Cieft.S4.l.llC upon the social
body that class of the community had !atonic.
In the city of Rome, with a population of 1;0,000
(of which 6,000 resident Jews and a fluctuating mass
of strangers, nearly of tilt MM. amount, funned
part) there were besides 1400 nuns, a clerical mi-
litia of 2,0h9 ecclesiastics, being ona fur every 50 in-
habitants, or one for every 25 male adults; while in
the provinces there were towns where the proportion
was still grater, being one to every 20. The church
property formed a capital of 400,000 millions of
francs, giving 20,000 millions per annum, while the
whole revenue of the state was but eight or nine
million of dollars, a sum disastrously absorbed in
'the payment of cardinal ostentation, in purveying to
the poops of a scandalous court, or in supplying
brandy to Austrian brutality.
To support such a system it was necessary to keep
11,000 of the population in prison, and send into exile
80,000 of it:, best-educated and must valuable inhabit-
ants. ehiesa di ladri rhirsa di carne/iii! china di
'destordinr lie drew a vivid picture of the squalor and
desolation resulting from this opprobrious state of
things throughout the misgoverued territory of
Rome.
liut in dealing with the financial rottenness of the
pawl rule the government lot wry was the monster
abuse which the orator inveighed against with the
mast fearful denunciation. The monstrous mecha-
nism of this organised gambling was, perhaps, the
most demoralising element of all the foul instrumen-
talities at work m degrading and brutalising the
Roman people—a social gaugrene ever eating into
its vitals. Talk of the Council of Trent and its
formal reprobation of all games of chance ! The
"Tridentine canons are only invoked when some hard.
I ship is to be imposed on the laity—never when the
misdeeds of churchmen are involved. In the Papal
States this debasing pursuit is token under the wing
of the church and made a kind of ecclesiastical insti-
tution its prevalence, its all-pervading influence, is
found the best auxiliary for keeping the population
hi that blessed state of blunted Weling which best
suits irresponsible government ; and. tier the sake of
the seven millions of francs it produces to the apos-
tolic exchequer, wholesale domestic and individual
viee was unblushingly haltered and encouraged: the
shops for selling lottery tickets were all open on
Sundays by order unite politw. It was, in truth, a
dismal spectacle to behold month after month the
pomp and show with which the authorities thought
fit to exhibit before a deluded mob the drawing of
their pernicious stokes, while, as if in bitter derision,
the balcony from which the prizes are proclaimed is
decorated with crimson arras, bearing the once
glorious monogram of
S. P. Q. 11.

LORD

To brutalise into paltry gamblers the old masters of
the world stems a jest full of sardonic scorn, but who
would not gamble when a Pope blesses the board and
a cardinal sits as croupier: The pulpit is not
allowed to touch on this tabooed topic. Of the
! thousands who cannot read alphabetival (Ammeters
in Rome not one is found ignot ant (for lottery pur-
poses) of Arabic numerals, while for those who can
read there is published the famous " Book of I breams"
as an appropriate auxiliary in legalised witchcraft, a
I book sold in wheelbarrows at every fair, and at
church doors. and often the only book in the whole
I village where a New Testament is unknown. This
dream book." printed "by authority,- is what the
!railway guide or the various hued-books of industry
are in *England and the faith of credulous ignorance
in its magical revelations is discreditable to our com-
mon manhood. While the works of leurnin6 and
genius are on the 'mks, this blasphemous looks cis-
, calution is unblushingly promoted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

SOUTHWARK.

T. Mills was charged with citql;;;ing various sums of
money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Rideal, wine
•
and spirit merchants, Union-street, Southwark.
Mr. llarris, the prosecutors' solicitor, informed the magis-
trate that the Trisoner hod been in their employ as collector
and traveller! It was his duty to receive money on their
account from the customers, and place the sums down in
a book and pay them over at stated times. Latterly some of
the accounts had been only partially paid, which induced
the prosecutors to make inquiry, when they aseertained that
the whole accounts had been paid, but the prisoner hail not
paid them over, as was customary. Consequently, further
inquiries were made, which induced the prosecutors to give
him into custody. lie called
Rebecca Itirsi, a victualler, at Chesham, Surrey. who
said she paid the prisoner 91. 13s. on the 34Ith of March,
1350, on behalf of the prosecutors. On the 27th of July, in
the same year, she paid him 101. Gs. Gd., being all she owed
at the time.
Mr. J. Ridcal, one of the pnztaen,stated that on the first
account the primmer had paid If. deficient, and on the se-
cond 3!, Lis. Gal. The prisoner was paid 1.0/. a year and a
guinea a day for trawling expenses. Ile had been nearly
lS years in their employ, They had reason to believe that
be had plundered them of a large sum, but they had not
been able to get the witnesses from the country.
The prisoner, who at this timo fell down in a fit, was
remanded fur a week.

THE FRIMLEY MURDER.

HOME CIHCEIT.-KINOSTON,
THIS DAY.
ROFOTA Xi BANIM, !WM,.

This morning having been appointed for the trial of the
prisoners charged with the murder of Mr. Holiest at
Frimley, the greatest interest appeared to pr.vail,
and so early as eight o'clock the doors of the
court were literally in•sieged by persons anxious to obtain
admittance. In order to prevent confusion the high sheriff
had given dirmtions that the doors of the court should he
kept locked, and owing to the other excellent arrangments
that were made there was much less inconvenience than
otherwise would have been the clll4,

At ten o'clock the learned judge took his seat ou the
bench.
The prisoners, Leri Harwood, 29, Mauer, Harwood, 25,
and James Jones, 21, were then placed at the bar.
They were then arraigned fur the murder of Mr. Holiest,
ut the parish of Ash, on the 2.7 th September. They pleaded
o Not Guilty."
Mr. M. Cbanthers, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Robinson
appeared for the crown; the prisoners were defended by
Mr. Hallantine, Mr. Chinniock, and Mr. Woonett.
The learned counsel Mr the prosecution having opened
the case in a clearanil temperate address, the following evi-
dence was adduced:
Mrs. Caroline Honest, examined by Mr. Clarke—l ant
the widow of the Rev. George Edward Honest, the vicar
of Frindey ; on the night of the 27th September, lust year,
we were residing at the Grove House, Frimley. Mr.
Holiest went to bed about half-past 10, and I retired
to the bed-room about lice minutes to 11. I locked
the parlour door betiore I went upstairs. The
staircase door and the bed-rant door were not lucked. The
bed-room door opened on my side of the bed. The curtains
of the lad were open at the tbot of the bed. We used to
burn a light at night. A little before three o'clock in the
morning I was awakentvl by all increase of light in the room,
and, heard the voices of men at the foot of the bed.
My husband was also awakened, and we both
got out of bed at the same moment. Before Mr. Holiest
gut out of lad he made an observation to the effect that I
need not to be frightened. as it was only our two boys who
wanted to alarm them. Our two sons hail come home from
school that day. At the moment I was getting out of bed
saw two men in the room, mid 011 C of them called out to
me to lie stiU, and put his hand upon my knee.
'that man had a pistol in his hand—in his right hand. Ile
held the pistol close to my face. The other man also
had a pistol in his hand, and pointed it at my
husband, and said that if he resisted he would
blow his brains out. The man who was standing by
me also told me that be would blow my brains out if I
made any noise. I noticed the voice of this man. After
this I attempted to get out of bed to ring the bell when the
• man who was on my side of the bed laid hold of me
and forced me upon the floor. This man had a light-
coloured mask Olson his face. I did not notice his
dross. The other man also had a mask on his face.
The mask apeared of a darker colour. 'there was very
little space between the wall and the side of the bed, and
the wash-stand being phseed on that side made it still
narrower, and it was in this narrow space that the
man and I struggled together, and that I was pushed
down. While 1 was upon the ground thu man re-
peated his threat of blowing my brains out if I was
not quiet. I tried to free myself from hint, but was unable
to do so. I think the same man was about me all the time. I
knew him by a peculiarity in his voice, a sort of squeaking
spice. While I was on the ground I beard the report of u
pistol in the mom, on my husband's side of the bed. Ile
Was Oat of bed at the time. I could not see the flash of the
pistol in consequence of the bed-curtain being drawn.
I slid not uhaerve what became of the second man 1

had first seen. sitting upon the Maw when the pistol
was discharged, and the man was standing over me.
with the pistol in his hand. After the pistol was dis-
charged 1 got upon uty knees, and then upon my feet, and
struggled across the room towards Mr. Holiest's side, and
while I was doing so the man was holding sue round the
waist, and his pistol Was pressed against my side; and
diming the struggle the man caught his foot against
the wash stand and nearly pulled it over. While the man
was still holding me I managed to get hold of a hand-bell
that was on the fender mid rang it. I then observed my
husband struggling with two men near the tin-
plate. After L had rung the bell, the men left Mr.
Holiest and went out of the room, told my husband went
into the dressing-room to get a gun, which was always kept
there loaded.

A YOUNG WOMAN BURNT TO DEATIL—Ou Satur-
day Mr. 11. H. Wakley held an inquest at the Western
Dispensary, New-rem I, on Mar.,- Cowell, aged 19, late ser-
vant in the family of Mr. Perkins, wholesale eheesemonger,
Crawford-street, Bryanstone-square. The body was com-
pletely charred and burnt to a choler. Thomas Cornell,
shopman to Mr. Perkins, stated that he was at dinner bet
Tuesday. when, bearing frightful screams outside the par-
lour door, he opened it, and saw deceased standing in the
passage one mass of flames, which towered over her head, so
much so that at first he did not recognise her. She was
running about in all directions, like a maniac. He rushed
towards her with the hearth-rug, intending to throw her
down and extinguish the flames, but she ran from hint
towards her mistress. At length he reached her and threw
I a carpet over her. Atter a severe struggle she again
escaped front him and ran into the shop, all in flames, and
I was making into the street, when some policeman seized
and pushed her down, and then succeeded in extinguishing
the flames by means of the carpet and water. Her clothes
were burned off, and the skin fall from her body
as they touched her. With the least possible delay she was
I conveyed on a stretcher to the infirmary. A few minutes
henne the euxident he saw her making the fire in the
kitchen with some old pi,'eeo of a butter-tub, to dress a chop
for her mistress. Ile supposed that her clothe,* caught fire
by some sparks Hying from the grate on her. Thomas
Cowell, deceased's father, engaged as workman on the
Oreat Western Railway, said that he remained with hie
daughter in the infirmary from the day of her admission to
that of her death, which took place on Friday. She wan
sensible, but her agony was dreadful. She told witness
that she was lighting the fire in a hurry, when her dress
caught the dames. She was the best of girls, and gave
him all her earnings towards the sup ort of kis other seven
children. Every possible effort was made in the infirmary
to save her life. Charles Bennett, 29$ I), corroborated the
first witness's evidence. Mrs. Perkins gave deceased a
most excellent character. The coroner haring summed up,
, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict off
" ACCidental death."
