SARDINIA.—n 'ems that the opposition in the
Chamber of Turin was somewhat frightened by the
vote which it palmd on the 17th, and that they en-
deavoured, after it wasover, to attenuate its effects by
informing the govt rnment they would trust to it to
present • law on emigrations, and that they would
vote the treaty. It was too late, however, and these
overtures were not listened to. The vote of the 17th,
if carried into eitlct, would, after all, be an infringe-
ment of the statute, inasmuch as the law on emigra-
tion which they desired had already been rejected in
the Senate, and could not constitut:ooally be pre-
sented a second time in the same session.

IT will be seen, by reference to oar advertising
Dula-one, that the proprietors have decided not to ex-
end, advertisements having p ctorial illustrations.
Toe Express being a paper that circulates largely in
the country, and amongst classes to whom a descrip-
tion of the article advertised, is desirable, it hts been
thaught tit to deviate, with regard to this paper,
ft ,m the rule hither to observed in the London Daily
Pr.as of not admitting such advertisements.
The value of any advertising medium mast depend
in a large measure upon the extent of its circulation.
In this point of view the Express can ne.w challenge
any one of its evening contemporaries, and the follow-
in./ statement of the number of stamps issued to and
vs_•d for this jourcal will slim its gradual increase
in popularity:

Till BUILDING ACT.

Mr. Cl Awn applied to the court fora mandamus, directed
to Mr. Elliott, the magistrate at the Lambeth Pulice-eourt,
under the following most extraordinary circumstances :—A
Mr. N•lson, a builder, in Surrey, was, a few months
hack, erecting certain houses, and when he had built
up the first and second stories, he was served
with a twice by the district surveyor, Mr. &owe,
that the buildings were not being constructed, in conformity
with the provisi-ns of the New Building Act. After the
' service of the notice, an information was laid before the
official ref ppointed by the act, who proceeded to in-
spect the erections, which had by this time reached the
third and fourth story. Upon inspecting them the
referees expressed themselves perfect:y satisfied with the
manner in which the first and second stay had been built,
but found fault with the third and fourth, and they signed
en sward or certificate to that effect. Upon this cer
dilate the district surveyor went before Mr Elliott,
at Lambeth, sod obtained a summon against Mr.
Nelson. The latter appeared to the summons, and
pointed out to the magistrate that the noticezefarred only
to the first and second story, whereas the award or certiti
cats applied to and found fault with the third and
fourth ; and he offered evidence to the magistrate that
the tuildings were in every respect in, conformity with
the provisions of the act. The magistrate, however said
that he had no power to receive such evidence, and that the
production of the award or certificate was quite sufficient
to him, although it applied to a portion of the building
not erected at the time the notice was first given
and her nlercd Mr. Nelson to find sureties that he would
alter ithe buildings, or in default 'he would be com-
mitted to prison. The learned counsel stated that
this was a monstrous interference with the liberty
of the subject, and a perversion, or rather a
denial, of justice, and he had, theralore, to apply
to the court tor a mandamus ordering the magistrate to re.
mire evidence on behalf of Mr. Nelson. . . .

Mr. Justice Plates= said that in looking over the act of
parliament, it appeared to him perfectly unintelligible. He
dad not ace that it gave the magistrate any power to issue
the summons, and certainly gave him no power to imprison
Mr. Nelson under such pecalinr circumstances. He would
therelore grant a rule to show cease.

MR. BRIGHT AND MR. DICKENS.

TO TEI IDITOR 07 THI TIMIS.

SIR,—In your leading article of this day on the
question of capital panishments, you make a quota-
tion from my letter to the chairman of the late meetirg,
and apply it to Mr. Charles Dickens. I thiuk I need
hardly say that you do me great injustice, and I am
not sure that Mr. D:ckens himself receives much
better treatment at your hands. My observa-
tion could not possibly apply to Mr. Dickens, be-
cause he is well-known to ho,d the strongest opinions
against capital punishments, whether in public or
private.
Mr. Dickens wrote some powerful letters in the
Daily News nearly four years ago, in condemnation
of the barbarity and uselessness of putting criminals
to death, and I am quite sure no men with his in-
tellect and his heart can have gone back in his opinion
on this quesion from an observation of what has
taken place since that period.
I understand Mr. Dickens now to hold the name
views on this subject, and to propose private exe-
cutions only as something not so brutalizing to the
multitude as the present system. I can under-
, ~
mond and spAuclate is mouves ; he cannot yet get
all he wishes, bat is anxious to remove a part of the
evil.

Ido not wish to enter into any discussion of the
main question, bat I may perhaps be allowed to add
that I have derived teat satisfaction from reading
your articles upon it during the pres nt week,
because you give up the only arguments on which
parliament can possibly continue the infliction of the
death penalty. 1 am, Sir, yours respectfully,
Rochdale, Nov. 21. JOHN BRIGHT.

THIS DAY.

BAIL COURT.
teem* Mr. Justice ['screwy.
WHISTON 10. YRS Ds&x AND CHAPTER OF ROCHESTER.
CATHEDRAL TRUSTS.
Sir F. Thesiger applied, on behalf of the plaintiff in
this case, for a conditional rule for • prohibition to the
Dean and Chapter of R sehester C►thedral from dis-
missing the Robert Whitton from his situation
of head mute of the grammar school at that place. The
learned cease 1 was heard at treat length is support of the
rule, quotin; the culotte espitular statutes, and contending
that the dean and chapter lid aced ❑legally in dismissing
Mr. Whitton, and for no other reason than that that gen!le.
man had endeavoured to have the school raised to the pitch
of efficiency intended by the founder.
Mr. Justice Pattiwn was of opinion that a rule to re-
store would be the better form of mandamus, and a condi-
tional order was granted accordingly.
AN ANOMALOUS AND ARBITRARY PROCEEDING UNDER
London, England, 1849-11-24

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.
The government forwarded. s few days aco, a re-
port to his majesty. recommending the ebtabliehment.
in the commune of L =mei, in the Campine (a vast
tract of chit fly uncultivated land), of an agricultural
colony, and proposing to erect twenty farm-houses, a
church, a clergyman's residence, and a school. The
Monitsur now publishes a royal decree approving of
the scheme of ministers, and ordering it to be tarried
into execution. The commune in question is situated
to the north of the first section of the Meese and
Scheldt Junction Canal.

The resolution of the Dutch government to shut up
some of the internal waters of Holland, and to open,
on the other hand, a canal between the eastern and
the western Scheldt, continues to occupy the atten-
tion of commercial men at Antwerp, the majority of
whom appear unfavourable to the project.
The value of the notes in circulation on the 15th inst.
of the Societe Generale of Belgium was 40,022,193 fr.,
and of the Bank of Belgium 10,341,000 fr., being a
decrease for the former bank of 607,000 fr., and for
the latter of 113,0001 r., compared with the returns
for the last half of the preceding month.

SWITZERLAND.

The Swiss government have declared themselves
satisfied with an arrangement proposed as regards
the body of Hessian troops that invaded their ter-
ritory at Busingen. The Hessians are to be disarmed
and sent beyond the frontier, where their arms will
be returned to them.

THE RIVER PLATE.—We have received from
Rio de Janeiro an official copy of a project of convention for
reestablishing friendly relations between France and the
Argentine Republic, drawn up by the French Admiral Le
Predeur, in conjunction with Rotas, the governor of Buenos
Ayres, and General Oribe, the pretender to the. presidency
of the republic of Uruguay. The prominent points of this
convention are as follows: 1. General Oribe is acknow-
ledged as President of the Republic of Uruguay, whilst the
government of Monte Video is regarded as an authority
merely de facto. This acknowledgment is the essential
point of the pending question, as the recognition of Oribe
as president would (it is said) render the independence of
the republic of Uruguay quite illusory, that person being
one of the most devoted creatures of Rune 2. No mention
whatever is made in the treaty of the independence of the
republic of Uruguay. 3. The principle of compensation to
foreigners by Roses and Oribe is entirely excluded from the
project, which contains no proviso for guarantees in the
convention with the former. 4. No absolute period has
been assigned for the withdrawal of Ron' troops, whilst
the government of Monte Video is compelled to disband its
foreign legions immediately, and to deposit their arms on
board the French ships of war. The French government
undertakes to raise the blockade of the coast of Uruguay as
soon as hostilities are suspended; and all merchant vessels
and their cargoes captured during the blockade are to be
handed over to their owners by the two contracting powers.
The navigation of the riven Uruguay and Parana is ad-
mitted tabs an internal navigation of the states of Uruguay
and the Argentine republic.

ALARMING FIRE AT A TAVERN.—The family of
Mr. C. Sayer, of the Horse-shoe and Wheauheaf Tavern,
Melina-street, Western street, Southwark, had a narrow
escape from being destroyed by fire yesterday morning.
Shortly before two o'clock smoke was seen issuing from the
lower part of the tavern, and en alarm was given, but on the
inmates attempting to descend the stairs they found them on
fire, and the smoke was rolling upwards in such bodied as to
drive them back. Having made their appearance at an
upper window some ladders were procured, when, with the
assistance of two persons working on the railway and the
police, the whole of the parties were safely rescued. The
engines of the parish and London brigade were remarkably
early in arriving, and the flames were soon extinguished, but
not until considerable damage was done to the whole of the
presume and their contents. How the disaster originated is
at prolog unknown.

RICHMOND TRADESMEN'S REGATTA.

This event came off yesterday, and afforded some very
excellent sport, Eighteen competitors rowed in four heats
for a pair of silver oars and other prizes, the gift of a gen-
tleman who has distinguished himself as an aquatic amateur;
and the whole thing passed off very agreeably, affording con-
siderable gratification to the spectators.

Long and Sweet, who had been oar and oar with them from
the start. Light blue claimed the foul. and became second

TOWER REGATTA.

This regatta, which ranks raiAetEiiiiln aquatic matches,
was contended for yesterday by six free watermen of the
Tower-stairs. A new skiff and other prises were sub•cribtd
for by the gentry and tradesmen of the vicinity. The dis-
tance was from off Quern's-stsirs, Tower, sad round St.
Katherine's Dock Busy, opposite the entrance and Eel
Chain to the place of starting; twice round each heat. The
arrangements of the manager (particularly throe of not
allowing outriggers and promptitude of starting) gave gene.
ral satisfaction. The sport, which was very good, came off
as fellows:

SYMPATHY WITH THE ROMANS AND

HUNGARIANS.

MEETING AT WAKEFIELD.

On Monday evening a meeting was held in the
Court house, Wahefield, for the purpose of expressing sym-
pathy with the Romans and Hungarians iu their Efforts to
mainta:n their liberty. The MATou in the chair. Several
gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the following resolu-
tions were unanimously ad listed :
That this meeting regards with the greatest respect and
admiration the conduct of the Hungarian people in defence
of their ancient liberties and constitutional independence
against the usurpation of Austria, and deprecates the inter-
ference of Russia as contrary to the common law of nations
recognised throughout the civilised world.

That this meeting views with the severest disapproval
the conduct of republican Fiance in sending her armies
to destroy the reputelic of Rem*, which had imitated her own
example, and which aught to have had her warmest sym.
pathies.

" That her Majesty's government be respectfully requested
to protest against the Russian i terlirence, end to recognise
the independence of Hungary and its provisional govern
went, and that the following memorial be adopted by the
meeting, end signed by the Mayer on its behalf, and for
wardel to her Majesty's government."
A memorial in accordance with the above sentiments was
read and adopted by the meeting. A vote of thanks to the
chairman and to the magistrates who had kindly lent the
room for the occasion, was then adopted, and the meeting
was about to separate, when
Mr. SLIM read a letter from Mr. Cobden, expressing his
interest in the Iluogarian eau's, and also informed the meet
ing that a subscription list was now opening in Wakefield
for the relief of the destitute Hungarians at Folkestone, any
ova rplus to go towards the funds for the relief of the Hun.

ITALY.

ROMAN STATES.—The news from Rome is of
minor interest.
General Cordova, commander of the Spanish forces
in Italy, has issued, conjointly with the pontifical
commissary Berardi, a proclamation restoring the
pontifical authority in the province of the Campagna.
By a decree of the 21st alt., General Ondinot has
named a commission at Rome, composed of Messrs.
Marino, Prefect of the Apostolical Archives ; Com-
mander Visconti, Commissary of Antique Monu-
ments; and Legot, Secretary and Librarian to the
Academy of France, to inquire into the state of the
puolic libraries, and notice the robberies which might
have been committed there

The Tuscan Monitor of the 24th says :—" Yester-
day evening the Austrian troops occupied Cetona,
Foyano, and Monte Varcbi. The band of Garibaldi is
still in the vicinity of Arezzo, where it is closely
pressed by 5,000 Austrian.. General Stadion has
removed hi. head-quarters to Asciano."
The Concordia of the 27th publishes a proclamation
addressed by Mazzini to the Romans, recommending
them to endure with constancy and firmness the cala-
mity of foreign intervention which smite. them at pre-
tent, and not to give way to discouragement. He calls
upon the municipalities to repeat with firmness that they
adhere voluntarily to the republican form and to the
abolition of the temporal power of the Pope, and that
they consider every government illegal which has not
been freely approved by the people. He says: " Let
the cry be constantly heard. Down with the govern-
ment of priests! Free suffrage for ever ! All those
who have sworn allegiance to the republic should
divest themselves of their functions wherever the
pontifical colours have been hoisted. A whole nation
cannot be put in prison. The Roman Assembly is
not dissolved. The triumvirs, although their public
action has been ruspended by brutal force, only await
the favourable moment to convoke it again."

TUSCANY.—A letter from Viareggio, of the 24th,
Rives an amount of the landing of the Grand Duke.
The ministers, prefects, the municipality, and deputa-
tions from all classes of citizens attended. Rather
unexpectedly, Archduke Albert and General d'Aspre
arrived with a body of Austrian grenadiers and chas-
seurs,and placed an Austrian guard at the grand ducal
palace, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the pre-

WHOLESALE SWINDLIrIO.—John Wright, alias Joseph
Hume, Mary Wright, his wife, alias Madame Loraine, and
a young woman, named Charlotte Richards, who had acted
throughout in the capacity of maid servant, were brought
ip for re-examination,chsrared with feloniously obtaining a
too table and cry chair, each of the value of six guineas,
from Mr. John Comfort, an upholsterer, at Islington. The
court was densely crowded with tradesmen from ell parte
of the metropolis, anxious to prefer charges against them
of frau lulently obtaining goods of almost every imaginable
deseription.
Th• particulars of the first examination appeared about a
week since, and it is therefore only necessary to state that
the female ptiaoner Mary Wright celled upon the prosecutor
on the 20th of July, and ordered a quantity of oil-cloth,
which she directed to be sent to a very respectabk-
looking cottage in the Honney-road. This article was there
delivered, and the next morning the male prisoner called and
paid for it, and carelessly examining several 100 tables and
easy chain, appeared very indifferent about the price of them,
and, selecting the two before mentioned, desired them to be
sent for his " lady's" approvA, who would return them if
not liked. The articles were left, no money whatever being
paid for them, and when he called three days afterwards for
his goods or their value he found the house shut up. Spinks,
an officer of the N division, was then employed to ferret them
out, snit atter • great deal of difficulty he traced them to a
mansion in the Grove, at Hackney, containing eleven or
twelve rooms, which had been taken by the male prisoner in
the name of Joseph Hume, and having secured the whole of
the prisoners while surreptitiously leaving the premises
before daylight the following morning, each carrying
large bundles of property obtained from different trades-
men, lodged them in the station. On going back
to search the house the parlours were found to
be elegantly furnished with entirely new furniture, amongst I
which was the first prosecutor's; tut these were the only
apartments that could be really called to, though the absence
of furniture in the rest of the rooms was amply made up by
large quantities of other property, consisting, besides the
articles now produced by the officers, of glass, ladies wearing
apparel, silver goods, and jewellery, and which, as now
stated by the police, will form the subjects for the other
chines.
Several cases were then gone into, and numbers of trades.
' men pressed forward to prefer charges ; but the quantity of
other business prevented the magistrate's taking them, and
• the prisoners were remanded till that day week upon six
cases, and fully committed for trial for feloniously stealing
the property in a seventh ems, the magistrate refusing to
accept any amount of bail.

INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY.
MEETING AT SUNDERLAND.
A public meeting of the borough of Sunderland
took place on Monday evening last, to consider the propriety
of publicly expressing their sympathy with the Hongerians
In their present struggles; and of memorialising the Quests
to recognise their indepeadenes, and to eater isle commer-
cial relations with them. The mooting was celled by the
lamer in coos liana with a requisition most numerously and
respectably ed. It was held in the Atheneum, the
large hall ofwhich wee *lied in all parts. between ten and
twelve hundred persons Ming present.
The Mayor JOSEPH SIMPSON, Esq., having been
galled to the chair, and several speakers having addressed
the meeting at great length, the following resolutions were
adopted with great applause :
" That as Englishmen —as lovers of all freedom,. civil
sad religious—es tree conservatives, and as frier& of pro-
gress—lbis meetin/ feel it a sacred duty to express their
earnest, entire, an unreserved sympathy with the How
pries struggle for Independence, and their humble and
hearty admiration of Hungarian heroism."
" That we look with deep abhorrent* upon the savage
and bonito!' manner in which Austria carries on the war,
and as friends of the rights of nations, and of the freedom
of the world, emphatically protest against the unrighteous
intervention of Russia."
' " That a petition be signed by the Mayor on behalf of this
meeting, and that It be presented to the Queen, praying
the Government to give an emphatic expression to these aW-
. versa' feelings of the people by immediately recognising the
de facto government of Hungary."
i A subscription was entered into on behalf of the Hun-
garian fend.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The news received at Berlin from Flensburg, on
the 21st inst. mention the fact, which we announced
some days ago, that the negotiations for the exchange
of prisoners had not been completed. They add that
Geo. Prittwitz gave orders that the Danish prisoners
who were on their way to freedom, and were lodged
in the castle church at Broucker, should be sent back

OUTRAGE ON THE BRITISH FLAG. AND
REPARATION BY THE AUSTRIANS.

On Thursday last, the 16th instant, the following
event took place at Leghorn:
The boats of her hisiestrs ship Bellerophon 78 gnu,
commanded by Captain Baynes, C 8., were exercesinst, when
the launch and pinnace were despatched for a supply of
water. They had just got inside the mole, when it was
perceived by the officer on guard that they had their guns
mounted, whereupon they were immediately surrounded
and seized, and the officers and crew were kept prisoners
for upwards of two hours. The officer in command, after
some difficulty, succeeded in making the commandant
acquainted with the facts of the ease, when they were re-
leased, but in a very ungracious manner.
Captain Baynes despatched an officer to Baron Wimpfen,
the eozomander-in-civet of the Austrian army, at present
stationed at Florence. demanding instant and full reparation
and apology, and in the meantime made every preparation to
enforce his demands The result was, that the penitent Aus-
trian commander at once saw the impropriety of his subordi-
nate's conduct, and an officer was despatched on the 17th
from Florence to the Bellerophon conceding everything that
Captain Baynes had desired, and with an order for the boats
of the Bellerophon to come into the mole, manned and
armed, and there to be received by the guard with arms pre.
seated, and band playing "God me the Queen," a salute
being fired at tile same time of 21 guns, in honour of the
British deg.—Morning paper.

Tne Tom.% ISLANDS. —The Extraordinary Gazette
of the lonian Islands contains a letter from the Lord High

CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 19. The accents
continually coming in from the mines vary very mai
from each other. Some say that the diggers ire
doing well ; others, on the contrary, contradict deli
reports completely, and report a great dual of dials
poirstment, and even misery, in the placeres. Hee.
tofore living in the mines was very expensive, en to.
count of the enormous charges for freight, B:c., which
goods carried to the mines were subject to. This,
however, has lately been considerably ameliorated, at
account of the arrival of plenty of pack mule, from
the youth, in consequence of which freight has
Mica from 70 dollars to 10 dollars per
100 lbs. from the embarcaderos to the diggings.
A. person who has just come down from the
diggings near Stockton, reports that p mph. who
have the means to use the cradle can comfortably,
even at th's early stage of the season, make 8 db.
individually per day, and within four or six weeks,
when the i were are low, he thinks much more can be
got out. There were no disturbancesin these dig*
and we have not heard ai.ythiog of the kind from
other quarters.
It is quite impoisible to come at anything rear an
estimate of what may be got out of gold dust this
season ; meet of the people at present employed on
the diggings appear just to make ecoegh to live from
one day to another, and it seems that by hr the
larger part of the gold dug out finds its way tothe
hops and gambling tables in the diggiogs.
