rtt. mitd public aw by compassion for the
bunt ring.
Are the populations of Italy, then, tranquil and
sat isfitd ? If they were so, my lord, they would not
emigrate by thousands and thousands, to come and
enlist themselves as moldier* of the King under the
Italian banner. If we could believe Count Buol, the
Lombardo-Venetians are contented; but Austria had
doubled her army some time before the King of
Piedmont called an additional soldier under arms.
The other populations near us are contented ; but, at
this moment, the bad governments are letting them-
selves be carried away by the fearful Hood of popular
indignation and of public contempt.
If all the Italians are tranquil and contented who
live outside the little state of the King of Sardinia,
why do so many armies pour down into Italy ? These
armies are brought here either to keep quiet the
people who murmur, or else to threaten and invade
Piedmont, which rasa her proper right.
" With regard to war, I, having no need to study
any of the over-refined considerations of diplomacy,
will frankly repeat that without speaking of the
motives for war which Piedmont might have on
account of the balance of the Italian States, and
from the fault of the Austrian usurpations, if Pied-
mont wished for war, she would, without seeking
for pretexts, have special motives, jut and serious,
of her own. . .

" The sequestration which, some years ago, Austria
iniquitously pnt on the property of so many respect-
able subjects of the King—was it not a just and
serious cause for war ? And is it not so still, since
no full reparation has ever been made? And is it
not a cause for war that Austria, in violation of
the treaties, cot only encircles Piacenza with
fortremes, but augments there every day her
menacing troops
" I know very well that there are some who keep
whispering, ' You are little ; bear in patience the
injuries of the great.' Eut I have this faith, my
Lord, that it will not be free and noble England who
will recommend Co us for ever nothing but patience
and resignstien.
"Accept, my bird, my sincere gratitude and respect.

OFFER OP A NEW SOVEREIGNTY TO
THE QUEEN.

It appears that anew sovereignty is offered to her
Britannic Majesty—viz., that of the Feejee (orFiji)
Islands—and by the King, who is uneasy under a 1
fine of 9,0001. fastened upon hum oy an American ,
commander. The proffered treaty conveying the
sovereignty tothe Queen of Great Britain has been
brought home by Mr. Pritchard, her Majesty's Con-
sul in Perjee. To meet the want of the moment, a
little pamphlet—entitled " What is Fiji "—has just
been tailed. The Feejee Wanda are a group num-
bering 211, of which 80 are inhabited. The largest
is about 380 miles in circumference, and the next
about 3410. They spread over about 40,000 square
miles of the Pacific Ocean, directly on the track
between Australia and Panama and British Colum-
bia. Almost every island has a harbour ; many
of these are capacious enough for a whole navy.
Feejes is 1,500 miles from Sydney, and about 1,000
from New Zealand. The group is the key and centre
i
of Polynesia. Between t and our colonies lies the
large French island of New Caledonia, on the same
side the New Hebrides. and on the other side, to its
north and east, stretch the Navigators', Friendly,
and Society Isles. The area of the two large islands
is computed at about equal to that of Belgium,
11,000 square miles ; and of the whole group about
equal to that of Holland, above 13,000. The climate
is described as not unlike that of Ceylon. The pro-
ductions are diseraifiedjand ricb. At least fifty
or sixty thousand of the natives have become Chris-
tians. The pamphlet remarks : "Ifwe do not take
them (the islands) either France or America will. If
America do, our route to Panama is in her hands ;
and also that between Australasia and British Co-
lumbia. Oar Australian coasts and commerce could
be hemmed by a few 'bpi, which would elude even
great lints in the innumerable harbours of Fiji. If
France take it, with New Caledonia on the one
aide and Tahiti on the other, she will hare
a line of posts right across our track."
Samples of cotton grown in these islands have been
transmitted by Lord Malmesbury to the Committee
or the Manchester Cotton Supply Association. who
value them at from 7(1. to 12d. per lb. To-day
a numerous deputation, including Mr. Cheetham,
M.P., Mr. Bailey, M.P., Sir Andrew Agnew, N:c.,
will wait upon Lord Malmeabury to urge the accep-
, tans of the new sovereignty by the British crown.

7LIE AGVIDANZ TO TEE AIME PRIDEIJOI
WILLIAM NAIL PACKET.

DOVER, WZDariIDAY.
The inquiry ordered by the Board of Trade into
the aircumstsnces etteadtng the &oddest to the Prince
Frederick William mail packet, off War, on the morning
of the 27th ult., in tflussiti,a with which catastrophe ttr
lives of three persons were lost, was opened at the Custom-
house, Dover, this morning, before the Mayor and two other
borough nisgistrtee, viz., Captain Noble and L. Stride,
Esq, Mr. Comt Mead, from the office of the solicitor to the
Customs, attended to conduct the investigation on behalf of
the Beard of Trade, in accordance with the proriaiorui of the
Merchant Shipping Act. Captain Barris wee appointed
by the reasis!retee so nautical amerce ; and Mr. J. 0.
Chan twiud represented the owners of the Prince Frederick

William. -
The inquiry having Leen adjourned to the New Sessions
Howe for greater convenience,
Mr. Cumberland detailed the circumstances under which
the accident srose, and then proceeded to a alt evidence.
The first witness examined was Mr. Jam-8 John Ferret,
the 'neater of the Prince Fr &rick William. ile was in the
employ of the Royal Mail Stereo Packet Company, and bald
a certificate of compot..tey. On the 26th February he was in
command of too Prince Frederick William, which left Dover
on that night at about 20 minutes to 12 having on board
the Indian mails and the ordinary French' mails for convey-
ance to Calais, end 37 pageangers. The crew conelsted
of 16 men. He had every reason to believe the vessel
in good enter, both as regards her hull and her
engines. When be left that poet the wind was west,
strong, and cloudy, end it wee a dark night. About
half an hour after leaving the wind changed to W.N.W.,
continuing to blow strong, which state of weather continued
until arriving off Cabes. On nearing Cols= he saw the re-
volving light and the ordinary lights of than town. He also
saw the eel light on the west pier. TM tral light, which
wee green, was on the east pier heed. The green light is
need as a signal light for the mail packets only to enter the
harbour, and this light was risible from ten to fifteen
minutes before making for the harbour. On that night this
light would have been =elute four or five miles off. On
seeing these three lights, he made straight fur the mouth of
the harbour. There was a' good deal of see on
the but. The wind continued W.N.W., and was blowing
very terms, and the sea was necessarily rough. The sea
wee not runnier into the harbour bat ethernet It. When
halts mile off the piers he reined the vessel to half speed,
and he continued at this rate until he band her getting Into
amllow water, when about her length from the pier, but
she shortly &larder& "dragged" the ground, did not answer
the helm, and was carried on to the seat pier, the port paddle
abed becoming disabled. Before striking the pier be or-
dered the eerie= to be stopped, but after she struck she
rebounded, end he then entered the engines to go *head,
with the view of entering the harbour. The engines could
not Le moved, and in consequence ef the tide, wind,
sad an, the vend we, driven out of the har-
bour to the eastward of the test pier, and went ashore.
The chief mate wee at the helm. The vessel remained
shifting About upon the sand after she =nick for shout two
hours and a half before any boats came off two the shore.
During this period some of the passengers were on deck and
some below. He tent one of the quarter boats on shore about
thirty-five inioutes alter the venial emended. The trend
mate end two bands had charge of the boat, and It oarried
six passengers, who reached the shore in safety. He bad
no
other boats at his disposal; the life-brat Long stove in
and washed away by the eve when the rasa ran
@shore. The lifeboat wee carried jest abaft the
=
zee. No other person left the vessel between the
of the quart,: boat and the arrival of
the boat from the shore. Some of the measurers wanted to
jump overboard, but he would not allow them. At the ex-
=ranee of two hours and a half the Calais lifeboat (one of
Mr. Pinkest .-rue off. She was towed out of the harbour by
the Ondine mail-packet, and dropped alongside the vessel on
her starboard side, sod the passengers were raked a they
would go on shore. In consequence of the invitation to get
into the lifeboat eight of the peseeng.es went into it, assisted
by the craw. The passengers were in no way compelled to
enter the boat, bat were waisted In consequence of the berry
sea rendering it difficult to enter the boat from the steamer s
side. The boat MN still fast alongside ;the etesmer when it
capsized immediately after the last of the 8 passengers got in.
Did at know to what to attribute the overtaraing of the life-
boat. It could not hare been from overloading, as the lifeboat
was 30 feet long. Everybody in the boat wee precipitated Into
the water. Five wen hauled on beard the vessel, and life-
buoy', cork 'fend's; and other things wore thrown from the
Yuma. It was too dark to age whether the rest reached the
shore, but he saw none of those who von struggling in the
wane disappear. After this occurrence the crew were en-
in getting up the melle from the tote cabin, and the
rug.ga. At this time then erase about seven fee of water
in the second compartment of the vessel. At half-past eleven
the tide had ebbed, and the reessinder of the crew walked on
shore. The mails were ccareyed en atone at the same time.
In reply to quedons, the witness said he did not apprehend
any danger, or he would not have allowed the passengers to
have enured the lifeboat. He advised than not to eater
the beat, ce.. they would be able to walk ashore if they waited.
When he sent sway his small boat there was couiderable
couture° among the wringers, and several wished to jump
or, rheard, but he prevented them, and would not allow the
0011 t 1., take more than six. He ateibuted the non return of
the Len to the altered petition of the veesel, which wee-
elenel it to ea less eff.etively on a breakwater. He attri-
buted the original writing of the vessel to an incorrect allow-
' awe for the *ea by the pilot on the pier. He attributed the
exhibition of the green light to the fact that the pilot thought
there was sulicieet water.
Mr. William Thosesett, Acting Brit;sti Consul at Calais,
was next examined. He satd two hairs were recopied in
getting the lifeboat launched, notwithstanding the assis-
tant of the crews of several vessels was obtained.
He attributed the delay in getting It out to the
time consumed, owing to the length of the harbour,
is collecting people to Oct it out Hs requested the hare
boar master, who by this time wee present, to man it with
Englishmen. He objected to do to. The craw was
composed of the deputy harbour miner, two French
pilot., and two French and four English sailor,. The tiller
and rudder were left on shore, and the boat was stewed by
means of an oar, used by the deputy harbour master. On
arriving at the month of the harbour the life-boat was out
off by the steamer. The best was then about a hundred
rude from the Prince Frederick William. It at first mimed
the vessel and west cn 'hove. It reached bar in about tea
minutes or a quarter of an hour afterwards. Did net see the
life•boat return to the vie re. The next thing observed wee
the French messenger, hi. Deena, struggling op the side of
the pier by the ladder, having swam from the life-boat, and
be told him the life-boat had been epee By dimness of the
harbour muter men were sent down to the sands with lan-
tern. ready to noel= the boat hod she come on shore.
Shortly alter M. Desire came on shore some one called out
that a person was drowned, and the Dryly was shortly after-
wards brought up the ladder by which K. Des.= bad come
Land carried to a small cabaret on the pier. Two other
ies WITS brought into the same COOP* shortly after-
wards. It was blowing strong from W.N.W. and the night
was very dark. He attributed the grounding of the Prince
Frederick William on the night in question to there being
a swell on at the time. As the vessel entered the trough of
the swell she meld not therefore hen bed so electioneer under
her as at other timer, and he concluded it was in this way
that her keel lock the ground. 'There is a reel.' order from
the harbour-meter that the pdot on service shall go to the end
of the east pier at one o'clock ln the morning, and that the
other pilot ern service shall proceed in hie boat to the mouth
of the harbour, to ascertain the clammy of water, by sound-
ing is smooth water at the entrance of the har-
bour ; end as soon as they have agreed that there Is saftleleat
water the green light is exhibited. Should there not be suf.
finiont water an ordinary bias dare light would be burnt
CORPailf Ward, of the National Lifeboat Institution, made
en ueves.t,gaUon as to the state of the lifeboat about a fat-
night since, and t eetry. then persons were put into her.
The French portion of the crew who were in her on the
wining of the 27th were very much prejudiced against her,
and would not go in ber.
The proceedings were adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.— Kowa 23
(Before the Chief Conambndoner.)
IN RE JOHN IDWARD HAMPARD.-A PROMOTING ORDIR
VNIMIt MIR MATRIMONIAL CAME* ACT.
This ierolNent, who had been a fishmonger bt,Billingsgate-
market, but now sesietent to his wife, carrying on burnout
at the mew place under a protecting order granted under the
Matrimonial Causes Act, was opposed by Mr. Reed for
Messrs. Roue and Bacon, fish salesmes, and two other fish
ealesmen. Mr. Mounts, another fish salesman, opposed in
person. Mr. Sargood supported.
This was a peculiar cue. On the sth of July the insol-
vent got 461. worth of flak of the three opposing creditors
for whom Mr. Reed appeared, end he ahould have paid for
the same before he lids the market. He, however, ran away,
ult wu described, and did not return home. He admitted
that be went with a female to Union-street, Somas-town, in
the name of Rose. In a week be went to Manchester, where
he was *fortnight, end then opened a shop for a fortnight.
He gold it and went to Liverpool, and afterwards tog
and from that plus 1w cams to London. On the 17th Sep-
towbar his wife got a protecting order from the Southwark
Pollee Court, end dace Chrietrese ha had been her assistant
at the market.
Mr. Sargood said the puttee had made it up, but it wee
advisable to keep the ostablieduuents distinct, as it tuttit
vitiate the protecting order.
The insolvent, it appeared, had no wages from his wife,
but she kept him. Be said an " unfortunate occurrence"
happened on Saturda the 3rd July, which was found out
on the Monday, and In the middle of that day he determined
to leave his home.
Mr. Bacon, of the firm of Rona and Bacon, proved that
the insolvent got fish to 161. 10s, on tbo sth July, and of
Mr. Benjamin to 71. Both were larger quantities than he
usually obtained. Mr. Bacon had interested himself to get
the poor wife a Mall, she having been left in • piiiable state,
and soon after her confinement.
Mr. Mourson's complaint was that the insolvent owed
him about 71. for fish, and iosteed of paying him bad
induced the creditor to accept of 341. bills for their mutual
accommodation. The insolvent got them discounted and
kept the money. Mounts had to pay them lets half of one,
and wee now • noffaer to about 601.
The Chief Commissioner considered that Mountie had been
very " soft." He Lad, however, been impooed upon. As to
the other opposing creditors they had been simply cheated.
The insolvent wanted some money for his trip, tied got
goods to 461., which he sold. The court gave a judbment of
eve months.
