The jury expresiing themselves utisfied with the evidence,
an open verdict was returned, to the effect that the deceased

The deceased was stated to have been a man of estimable

which sailed from Naples on the 30th had effected •
landing at Messina, bet were defeated by the Sici-
lians. A shell thrown from cue of the Neapolitan
vessels 101 l upon an English vessel in the harbour and
killed a man. Thereupon it is said that the Sicilian
government despatobed an envoy on board a British
vessel to the English admiral to demand the aid of
the British forces.

We have advioes from Leghorn to the 4th. The
town cootinned in the power of the people; but all
fighting had ceased. A deputation had been sent
to Florence to represent the state of the city to the
government Meanwhile • sort of committee of
public safety, consistingof five citizens, was sprinted.
Measures had been taken to insure the continuance of
the busirets of the bakers. Great quantities of arms
and emmunition were al..° collemed. All departure
from the city was interdicted without the special
permit of the committee. The night between the
3rd and 4'h had passed tranquilly, the people having
sole charge of the town. Sixty soldiers. who bad
been imprisoned fur having refused to fire on the
people, were liberated. Many others who had deserted
to the side of the people refused to return to their
corps.
It was arranged that Gen. Torres should take the
command of the armed citizens in case of another
conflict. In consequence of this appointment the
committee of public safety had ceased to exercise its
functions.

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET St CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—We had a dull market in the earlier
part of the morning, but about mid-day it
became noised abroad that letters had been
received from Paris announcing the stoppage of
numerous houses of consideration, and among them
of banking houses of the very first rank. In
the face of such astounding news Consols, however,
maintain their price at 811 to I, for money and
account. But in reality there is scarcely any
business doing: A sort of stupor or confu-
sion prevails in the Stock Exchange about
the news from Paris. A private letter from that
city, to a respectable house here, states that the
" Bourse was extremely agitated, yet, extraordinarily
enough, the Five and Three per Cents. had both ad-
vanced." Subsequently, however, they declined.
There is yet reason to hope that the deplorable
news referred to may prove to be without
sufficient foundation ; and it is singular that
such extraordinary intelligence should not come an-
nounced, if true, by the extraordinary expresses of the
daily papers. Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 31s. premium.
We have no alteration of moment in foreign stocks,

the reports about the embarrassments of two or three
Paris banking houses are without foundation. But
we have very startling rumours about the Bank of
France.

PRDICESe'S.— A Mrs. Barrett, of the American
theatres, made her first appearance lard night at this theatre,
in the character of Lady Teazle, which she supported with
considerable elegance of deportment and discrimination.
She was very well supported by J. Cooper, J. Vining, and
Mr. Compton, as the two brothers and Sir Peter Teazle,
After the comedy, an extravaganza, entitled "Mammon and
Gammon," was piayed for the first time, the incidents and
dialogue of which were of the broadest description. They,
however, elicited the hearty laughter and applause of the
audience, and one of the party, that of a tender-hearted
kitchen maid, was very well played by Miss Villars, whose
untiring zeal and general inteiligenee entitle her to the con.
sideration of the frequenters of Mr. Maddox's theatre.
Sr s. D.—This little theatre was last night opened
by a n,/ management. The chief object is the represents
tion of comic opera. The musical portion of the company
includes Miss Poole, Madame Florence Brunel, Mr. D. W
King, Mr. H. }forecastle, Mr. S. Jones, and Mr. Boma,.
Among the comedians may be mentioned Mr. Ozberry and
Mr. R. Romer. The opera selected for the opening was an
Englieh version of the " Figlis del Reggimento "—the same
we believe, as that produced at the Surrey, at the end of last
year. The cast was in most respects the same—Miss Poole
sustaining her character of Maria, and Mr. D. W. King,
Mr. Horncastle, and Mr. H. Jones those of Tonio, Corporal
Spottline, and Corporal Grande. With some exceptions,
the opera was rendered in a manner which promises success
tor the establishment. The celebrated chorus of the rezi-
ment, in the second act, obtained a deserved encore. Miss
Poole as the heroine, and Mr. Borrani as the old soldier
Sergeant Sulpizio, sang with their customary care and
effect ; and similar preise must be awarded to Mr. Donald
King for his exertions. The duet in the first art between
the latter gentleman and Miss Poole was paii-
cidarly well executed, and met with commensurate applause.
The part of the Countess was sufficiently well sustained by
Mrs. Leman Reck. The entertainments which followed
consisted of an extrava.ranza illustrating an episode in " Ni-
cholas Nickleby," entitled "The Crummleses ; or a Re-
hearsal Rehearsed ;" and the Luce of " The Lost Letter,"
in both of which ample opportunity was given for the dis
play of the broad comic powers of Mr. R. Romer and Mr.
Oxherry, which were exhibited to the hearty contentment of
the audience. We had nearly omitted to mention a diver-
tissement which followed the opera, and in which Mdlle.
Louise Blanche and Mr. Smidt executed a successful pas
de deux.

which may be made on the money market on that
score, either for renewals, for paying off, or for an
addition to loans on debentures. In the meantime
the Bank is hampered also with the Treasury im-
broglio of the millions of Exchequer Bills falling due,
and somehow or other to be disposed of next March, for
which preliminary provision must be made, either
by funding with a bonne, or by loan for paying them
off. The prevalent opinion still is that a lunding
operation will be the mode preferred, which would
leave the Treasury free to issue some two or three
millions of fresh hills, or as much more as would cover
financial deficiencies, at a somewhat lower rate of in-
terest, provided meanwhile that the prices of the
funds are fully supported at resent, or carried to

higher rates.
Foreign securities have not ••ommanded much at-
tention, and, in general, the quotations scarcely vary
from those of yesterday. In Brazilian an advance
was, however, established to 83 to 85. In Danish to
834 to 41. Mexican remain 18 to I. Peruvian, 38
to 40. Spanish Fives, 201 tot ; the Threes, 301 to

Portuguese, 251 to 81. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 53; to 41 ' • the Fours, b 5 to I.
The advice' of yesterday's Manchester market re-
ceived this morning are not so favourable as should
be desired. Both the export and country (or home)
trade are stated to be much depressed, and fears were
entertained, lest this state of affairs should lead to the
closing or short-time working of many manufactories.
From all the facts is evidence, however, it would ra-
ther seem that too gloomy a view was taken of
the state of things. It is rather too early
to pronounce, in such a season as the pre-
sent moreover, upon the prospects of the spring
home trade. The agricultural districts hava en-
joyed a ready sale and good demand fur their pro-
duce during the past year, and neither the
advicea from India, China, or the United Sta'es, can
be construed BB so discouraging as they have been,
although not all yet that should be wished. Mean-

degree of alarm may exist in the minds of those '
who hays
friends on board, it may not be amissto state that she is
not expected to arrive here by the company to which
she belougs until to-morrow, or Friday at the farthest,
in consequence of some little irregularity having occurred ,
with one of the steamers conveying the intereolonial
mails. This irregularity was the result of the late
tempestuous weather; and as the Teen, could nut leave
Bermuda, her last port of cell, until the arrival thither of
the mails alluded to, the cruse of her non-appearanee at
Southampton at her usual time is fully accounted for.
The Madrid, l'eninsular steam-ship, in ordinary weather,
would no doubt have arrived to-day, but it baring been
blowing strongly from the east and north-east since her de-
parture (tom Lisbon, bee progress across the Bay of Bis-

ever, looked for in tbe poem of to night, or tomorrow

TUE CONWAY TUBULAR BRIDOL—By hot Thum-
day, we understand, about 200 feet out of 400 of the wooden
supports to the tube have been removed, with which the
tube exhibited no sensible deflection. When they are all re-
moved, the bridge will rest on two temporary pillars con-
structed under its ends, for the purpose of testing it. By
this dsy it is expected the whole will be removed, and the
invention be fully tested. After that it will, with all cape-
ditien, be floated to the piers in the river, and raised to its
proper place. In a work of this ►ort so much uncertainty
exists, that credit is due to the ungineen for having hit the
time so nearly as they have. We understand Mr. Brunel
was t►ere the other day inspecting the bridge. If all things
go well, it is expected that the sins to Bangor, 591 miles
from Chester, will be opened for goods traffic by the lat of

It is stated, and the movement of the troops in the
provinoes warrants the report, that prior to the gene-
ral search for fire-arms, according to the proclama-
tions, the villages in the proclaimed districts will be
occupied by a large military force.
The Limerick Chronicle states that the Roman
catholic prelates will hold another conference in
Dublin upon the distress of their respective dioceses,
prior to the meeting of parliament. There is ne
foundation for the statement. Perhaps the origin
lies in the solicitation of Conciliation-hall.
There has been a revolt of the mechanics in Cork
wearing the aspect of an illegal confederacy, and
dangerous to the rights of free labour. It appears
that local destitution and want of employment have
drives a fireat many idle hands to seek employment
on the railway works in the neighbourhood of the
city. Many of these poor tradesmen obtained "a '
b," which excited some ill-will among the natives.
This spirit at length reached a head on Friday, whoa
300 stonecutters, masons, aad carpenters struck work,
and, after marching through the city, waited on Mr.
Dargan's foreman on the Cork terminus of the Cashel
Railway. They demanded the expulsion of the
country intruders, who had to live as well as them-
selves, and which the employers bluntly resisted. The
revolters yielded, and returned to work.

of Bradford, two rates ware laid, amounting to 3e. 13d., the
last being laid in October. Already a new rate, number oue
for the year 1848, has been laid ; it is a 3s. rate: and how
many more will be wanted before the close of the year it
would take a wise man to say. Heavy rates like these have
hitherto been unknown in Bradford, and they certainly are
not very agreeable now they are known. It is therefore, we
repeat, a very serious question, demanding a prompt and
reasonable answer, whether the town had not better seek to
diminish this frightful weight of pauperism in its early stage,
before it has become concrete and immovable."

one or two observations. Ile had not entered into the ens.test from any feeling of opposition, but hearing that a ta. •
coney had been created by the death of Mr. Lloyd, he had
thought that much benefit would accrue from the infusion at
new blood into the management. Most of the ;mufti
managers were connected with the heart of the City, sod bed
their connexions there; but why not extend the operations
the eotiety to Paternoster-row, and even more direant
ties 1 (Meer, hear.) As a printer he thought he might he

Mr. Psrry, the other candidate, was proposed by lb.

Thanks h►ving been voted to the medical officen and the

BAIL COURT.

Maims in Banco, before Mr. Janice Erie.
MANDAMUS.—REXOTAL OP • LUNATIC PAIJPEIL—Mr.
Smith applied for a rule to show cause why a mandamus
should not issue, directed to the churchwardens and over-
seen of Bideford, in the county of Devon, calling on them to
keep and maintain John Ilancock, a lunatic pauper. By the
6th and 9th Vittoria, cap. 128, it was provided that before
the proper settlement of a lunatic pauper was determined he
should be kept in the county asylum, and that the justices
should decide upon his proper place of settlement. In Aug.
1847 the justices of Bideford made an order, declaring Monk-•
leigk, in the county of Devon, to be his place of settlement.
Against this order no appeal was allowed by the act of par-
liament, and in this case no ono was present on behalf of the
place against whom the order had been made.
The emend order, being for maintenance, was
made by the justices of the county under the
67th clause of the same act, and it was directed
that Monkleigh should in future keep the pauper, and pay
to Bideford the sum of 31. 81. Sd. which had been already
incuutcd on his behalf. This was also done without sum-
moning any one to represent the interests of Monkleigh.
This principle was lard down in the case of the Queen
against the Guardians of the Poor of Totnes, 7 Queen's
Bench reports, which was a case wherein it had been ordered
that the pauper should be provided for elsewhere than in the
workhouse. That order having been disobeyed, a man-
damus was oblnined, and on the return it was alleged that
the order had been made ex parte, and the court held that to
be a sufficient retain. The same principle was laid down in
the case of Pater' e• the Liverpool Gas Company."—Mr.
Justice Erle said he would take time to consider the ques-
tion. The learned ju die stated in the course of the day that
the peremptory paper ••••Onkt be taken on Wednesday next.

He impressed upon them that the question which they were

PEE RILL
SALL OP TIME OF EDWIN LA%DSEEE'S PICTURE&
—Three early pictures by Edwin Landseer, the property of
the late Mr. W. W. Simpson, the auctioneer, were said by
Mr. roster, on Wednesday lut, amid a very bad collection
of so-called early masters, the property of the same gentle-
man. The first sold of the three Edwin Landseers was a
small picture on panel, five inches by four inches, represent-
ing " A thorough-bred Scotch Terrier with a dead Rat in
its Mouth." The picture was engraved for the Sporting
Magazine, the dog enjoying, under the name of Vixen, a
distinguished reputation with " the fancy ''—a reputation
folly maintained yesterday, his portrait Belling for the large
sum of 68 guineas. The second picture meld, which was on can-
vas, called "Waiting for Orden," a small full.length portrait of
Mr. Simpson's shrewd jolly-looking coachman, standing with
his hands folded before him and his hat upon the ground,
brought 32 guineas—the execution extremely careful. The
last and best was called, " The Paddcelc," representing an
old cheanut horse and a white Scotch terrier near a piece of '
water, with an open view and Windsor Caele in the extreme
distance. The horse was full of character, and firmly and con-
scientiously painted. Sold for 100 guineas. A room full of
framed presentation proofs from some of Mr. Edwin Land-
seer's best pictures realised high prices. The general arrange-
ment of this room was well worth seeing, and might be
copied with advantage. There was no idle outlay upon
frames—all were of one uniform plain narrow pattern, all
the engravings had ample margins, and all were faced with
the best plate-glass. In this way, instead of looking at the
carver and gilder, you look at the painter and engraver, and
n think of the frame soaker till the print has satisfied
you, and perhaps not then.

NSW BAREACIS AT SHEYPIELD.-It is stated that the ten-
der of bleary Ilarrison and Hoyle, of Chester, for building the
new barracks in Sheffield, has been accepted by the Board of
Ordnance. It is rumoured that the amount of their tender
was about 19,0001. It is said there were eleven tenders sent
in, the lowest of which was about 17,0001., whilst the highest
was about 24,0001.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

II o Ifp ast One.—There has been considerable spe-
culationin the Consol market this morning, chiefly
in anticipation of what may take place in the Bank-
parlour, the directors being now assembled at their
weekly board. A strong impression prevails
that there will be a further reduction in the
rate of discount, and it would be supposed that some
of the directors must be known to be in favour of the
measure, as there has been a decided advance in
prices. At the opening the Consol quotation
for the account was 874, buyers, from which it rose to
874 to 8. Some reaction has since taken place, and
it now stands at 87 to Z.
The Paris accounts of yesterday state that great
gloom again hung over the Bourse, the contradictions
given to the statements made concerning the health of
the king being disbelieved. The arrival, in the course of
the forenoon, of expresses, with information tothis effect,
may account for the less favourable state of the market
noticed. Exchequer Bills have been selling at 245.
to 275. prem. We rather think the more recent
operations in Consols have been influenced in a very
great degree by the scarcity of stock, of which there
is so very little for delivery.
In the foreign securities there is nothing passing of
the smallest consequence. Six per Cent.Chilian Stock,
88 to 90. Peruvian, 37 to 40. Mexican, 171 to
181. Portuguese, 23 to 6. Spanish Five per Cents.,
181 to 191 ; the Three per Cents., 281 to 91; the
Passive Bonds, 4 to 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 53; to 41; the Fours, 844 to 5.
The banking-houses are full of money.
Two o'Clock.—Consols have further receded to 87,1.
Quarter before Three.—lt does not appear that the
Bank-board have made any new arrangement
in regard to discounts. The sitting has not
however, yet concluded, and there must, at all events,
be some matter or matters of importance under consi-
deration.
Quarter before .Four.—Nothing has yet transpired
as to the result of the deliberations of the bank
parlour, and it may be assumed that the minimum of
interest has not been disturbed.

we assert that the goversisst, in granting,
after some discussion, that the latter test should be
required, in the event of two-thirds of the original
subscribers desiring it, ham, in our opinion, com-
mitted the error of joining one of the parties in the
&arch. We deny, in roe°, the truth of the principle
involved in the inquisition of the test in question.
We deny that the communicants of the Church of
England are to be taken as the sole and adequate re-
presentatives of the church. We assert that the vast
body of non-communicants, forming the very large
inority of churchmen, have a right to reject with
dignation the imputation which the adoption
of this test will nag upon them. We will
take any half dozen parishes in the king-
dom' selected at random, and leave it to
the decision of any unprejudiced person acquainted
wits the feats, whether the communicants or the
nowoomminicanto form the most important part of
the congregations at the churches. We are quite
sure that while in number the non-communicants
vastly exceed those who communicate, they would
not be inferior in intelligence, in pondon, or in piety.
Why, then, are they no be dmied their share in the
=t of what especially concerns them? Why,
ale the sins of the clergy to be visited on
the people? If the taking the sacrament is the
only true and valid test of churchmanship,
bow is it that taking the sacrament is the
exception and not the rule? What have
the clergy been doing ? What have they to answer
for, outraged as they are with the spiritual educa-
tion d the nation, if they have failed in making
known the absolute necessity of a point which they
consider the test of churchmansbip ? Granted that
the laity of the church do not generally communi-
cite, is the fault exclusively their own? 1U church,
either from want of ability or want of will, has failed
in pressing upon its members the importance of one
of its rites, and we protest against the initiation of
allowing it the power of punishing for a fault which
has come into existence chiefly by its own deficiencies.
