THE POLICE COURTS.

(THIS DAY.)

CLERICENWELL.
CHABOI OF DESERTING A WIFE AND FAMILY.
Lawrence Forester, a decorator, was brought up on a
warrant byl47, warrant officer of the pariah of St.
Pancras, eh with deserting his wife and family,
whereby they had become chargeable to the parish of St.
Pancras. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, defended.
From the evidence of Mr. Chappell, one of the relieving
officer,, it appeared that the wife came to him on the 12th
of April, and stating that she and her family were in dis-
tress and that her husband had deserted her, he gave her
outdoor relief. Inquiries were made as to the whereabouts
of the defendant, but nothing was heard of him until he
was apprehended at Mickleham, Surrey, by Riley, the
warrant officer. When he told the defendant the charge
be said be had sent money to his wife, and had gone to
town to see bee, but could not ascertain where she lived.
Mr. Ricketta, having ascertained from the witnesses
that the defendant had been to town to see his wife and
was not able to find her, and also that the parties sepa-
rated by mutual consent, submitted that there was no
case, and asked for the defendant's dismissal. The de-
fendant did not wish to do the parish any wrong, and
would reimburse the parish the money they bad given to
his wife.

The defendant was discharged.
ANOTHER CASE.
Edward Willis, a traveller for a ginger beer manu-
facturer, residing at 18, Goodge-street. Tottenham-court-
road, was brought up in the custody of the warrant
officer of Islington, charged with deserting his wife.
Mr. Messer, relieving overseer of St. Mary, Islington,
said that he had to press for punishment in this case, as
he had taken a great deal of trouble in the matter, and
had written to the defendant several times. Some time
since the defendant's wife became chargeable to the parish,
and then the defendant agreed to allow hiN wife ss. per week.
This he did fora week or two, and then he dropped paying
the money, and hence the present proceedings. At the
police-station the defendant said that he did not care if
he got fifteen yenta, he would not allow his wife a
farthing.
The defendant said he was willing to recoup the parish
the money they bad expended, and to make an arrange-
ment with Mr. Mew, for the future support of his wife.
The magistrate inquired if the pariah authorities were
willing to make terms with the defendant.
Mr. blesser said that cases of thin sort were very much
an the increase, and therefore he bad to preen for punish-
ment. He submitted that if arrangements were to be
made they should be done beforehand, and not when the
parish had been put to trouble and expense in bringing
defendants to this court.
The defendant was sentenced to one month's hard labour

THE =TEAL RAILWAY COMPANY OP

O. MICH.

---
In this case the Lords Justices had overruled a decision
of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, which dismissed the respon•
deaf's bill with coats- The suit was instituted for a de-
aeration that a rchase by Meat of 100 501. shares in the
company might he set aside, and that be might be repaid
his purchase money, and the amount of the calla paid by
him in respect of shares, on the ground that he had been
induced to buy the shares under fraudulent misrepresenta-
tions contained in the prospectus of the company. Mr.
Klsch appealed. saes
The facts of the case (were reported in our columns in
March last

The Lord Chancellor, in delivering their lordships' judg-
ment, said that the alleged misrepresentations were con-
tained in • prospectus, the object of which was to invite
the public generally to join in the undertaking. Of course,
some allowance must be made, in an advertisement of this
description, for the sanguine expectations of the origina-
tors of the company, and prudent men would hardly accept
the prospects which were always held out by the promoters
of every new scheme, without considerable abatement. It
could not, however, be too strongly impressed upon those
who originated an undertaking, that the utmost candour
and scrupulous honesty should characterise their published
statements. Under the circumstances, their lordships
were of opinion that there was nothing in the omission
from the prospeetusof all mentionof the deposit of 20,0001.
which the company was to make, and which was to be
forfeited if the construction of the railway was not
commenced by a certain day. There was, however, an in-
tentional and improper suppression of the extent of the
capital of the company in the description in the prospec-
tus, and also other statements relative to the contract
being entered into with a responsible contractor, the con-
tract heal considerably within the available capital, and
the liability of the contractor upon his guarantee of 2
per cent. being limited to 'AM?. ; all of which induced
their lordships to come to the conclusion that they were
designed for the purpose of deception by concealing what-
ever would make the scheme less attractive. The appel-
lants had submitted that, even admitting that there were
misrepresentations in the prospectus, Mr. Kis& could not
complain of them, because he had had an opportunity of
testing their truth. But when once it was established
that there had been fraudulent misrepresentation or wil-
ful concealment by which • person had been led into a
contract, it was no answer to his claim for relief to tell
him that he might have learnt the truth by inquiry. The
decree of the Lords Justices must be affirmed, and the ap-
peal dismissed with costs.,

KM MADELINE SCHILLER'S CONCERT.

This clever young pianiste gave her annual con-
cert at St. George's-hall last night, when her various per-
formalities of solo and concerted pieces proved her to be a
brilliant and accomplished player, possessing great powers
of execution, and command of the most elaborate me-
chanism of the key-board. Resides Beethoven's sonata
in E fiat, with violin (with Mr. Henry Holmes), and Men-
delreohn'a first trio, with Mr. Holmes and M. Pique ;
Miss Schiller played Chopin's Polonaise is E fiat,
the intricate and minute difficulties of which she
gave with much delicacy and distinctness of touch.
Being encored. Miss Schiller played the rondo finale of
Weber's first sonata in C-6 movement almost urea-
, ampl6l, even in Mendelssohn's music, for its unceasing
impetuosity. The rapidity and clearness and unflagging
spirit with which Miss Schiller gave this piece were such
as few lady pianists can command. Her other principal
solo, Thalbergs fantasia on L'Eliair d'Astore, also dia.
played Mas Schiller's brilliant execution in its bestlight. It
is in such pieces that this young lady especially excels—in
concerted music, perhaps, a little less tempo rutted.) and more
abstemious use of the damper pedal might be desirable, but
these are minor points not affecting the general merit of
Miss &biller's clever performances. In the sonata and
the trio she had the advantage of the co-operation of two
exoeUent artists, one of whuw, M. P.olue, also played a
brilliant violoncello solo. The remainder of the concert
included ‘ocal pieces by Mlle. Liebbart, Miss Julia Elton,
Mr. Cumming,. and Mr. Weiss; and a harp solo by Mr.
John Thum..

After our report left yesterday,
Mr. KING, who said he bad been incereerated is
crosestreet prison at the instance of the directors for ow
payment of calls, commented rather severely oe th,
manner in which the concern had been promoted led the
shares allotted. lf all the directors persisted in offal,
themselves for election, be should move an amendment is
favour of their rejection.
An acrimonious and rather noisy discussion ensued,
the course of which some uncomplimentary epithets woe
applied to the old directors.
The CHAIRMAN sympathised with Mr. King, *wow
believed, stated what be felt was true ; but although he
(the Chairman) did not wish to take the blame of others
upon himself, he reminded the meeting that they had
heard only one side of the story.
The motion in favour of the adoption of the report wy
then put from the chair and carried, and

—The CHAIRMAN moved that the following directors
elected, at a remuneration of 1,2001. a year Joie
Cater, Mr. Pascoe Du Pre Grenfell, Mr. Wm. Lake,
Mr. Jas. Sanders, Mr. W. F. Scholfield, and Mr. him

the election of Meters. Seholfield and Cater.

Colonel gramme seconded the amendment, and ea
show of bends it was carried by a large majority.
Mr. Bowie's' moved that the name of Mr. saudeT;

The SOLICITOR explained that the articles of meocia
tion required that twenty-one days' notice should be pvta

Mr. Borkbeim could not proceed with it.

EXPRESS FROM PARE

(not ma OWN COIULISPONDENT.)

PARIS, TCLSDAY EVLNINC.
There are very great doubts whether the Live-
ror Napoleon will succeed in his project of bringing
the Emperor of Austria to Paris. It was given out
as quite settled a few days ago that Francis Joseph
would come before the end of August. His natu-
ral grief for the sad end of his brother Maximilian
would not, it was said, prevent the patriotic
monarch from paying a visit, necessary for the
settlement of matters of transcendent importance.
The curious notice in the Cwortientionnel last week
that on a certain day the Emperor would be going
to the Chalons Camp, and afterwards to the Pyre.
nees, and that all and sundry the sovereigns who
desired to see him must make haste and come, was
in reality nothing but a symptom of irritation
lat the hesitation of the Court of Vienna.
It being
subsequently found that there was
not the least chance of the Emperor Francis
I Joseph putting in an appearance within the time
limited by the Constittitiesners proclamation, the
story was circulated that his visit was postponed
till "quite the latter end of the season," and that
he would only come when Prince Metternich re-
turns after the conga which he proposes to take at
the end of August. Well, even this vague an-
nouncement turns out to be more affirmative than
facts will warrant, for the Patric this evening says
it is by no means certain that the Emperor of
Austria will accompany Prince Metternich to Paris
in the autumn, and that " all that can be said at
present is, that his project of a visit to Paris is
neither abandoned nor adopted."

It were impossible to admit, in clearer language,
that the alliance upon which such large hopes
have been built at the Tuileries is exceedingly pro.
blematical.

The Epoque says, " under all reserve," that it is
decided " in principle" to form two camps of obser-
vation, one at Lille and the other at Besancon. The
command of the first will be given to General
Douay, and that of the second to General d'Aute-
Marre.

In the Senate yesterday M. Michel Chevalier
very ably supported a petition from Mulhouse,
praying for obligatory primary instruction, but on
a show of hands he was left in a minority of one.
Yesterday the band of the Garde de Paris gave a
dejc4ncr at the Trois Freres to ten performers from
every one of the foreign military bands which
came to Paris to compete for the prizes just
awarded. M. Paulus, the bandmaster of the
Garde de Paris, was in the chair. As many as
200—all, with the exception of a few musical
critics, members of the different bands—sat down
to table. It was recounted that the Emperor had
said to M. Zimmerman, the bandmaster of the
Austrian regiment (the Duke of Wurtemburg's),
which gained the first prize, " Yours is the very
type of military music ; that is the instrumenta-
tion which should be adopted."
The Bourse was decidedly heavy. The Rente,
better supported than any other security, declined
bc. for cash and 'Tic. for account, closing at
68fr. 85e. in each case. Mobilier fell Ilfr. 25c.,
Credit Foncier sfr., and Italian 15c.

(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Payne, Deputy Assistant Judge.)
J CRT AND COCNBEL.
Ce'rfr BrArn, 40, seaman, was indicted for attempting
to stab Janie* Grant.
kibton and Mr. Ingham prosecuted, and Mr. Mon-
tap Williams defended the prisoner.
From the evidence of numerous witnesses it was elicited
that the prisoner, in company with a seaman named Moran,
tot.red the King'sArnos Sbadwell, and asked Mr. Grant,
E.° landlord. to lend him half a sovereign. The landlord
o fused, and the prisoner and Moran left, uttering threats.
T 1 then intuited some poor women outside, and on
remonstrated with they smashed several persons,
and finally a knife was drawn, and the prisoner was eeen
to attempt to strike Grant whilst the knife was in his
hand. The police came, and Moran was taken into custody.
Th. prisoner followed him to the station, and was also
ni,en. This was on the sth of July.
The jnry, without waiting to bear the counsel finish his
roPle, turned round in the box and began to consider their
venliet. This occasioned considerable surprise, and Mr.
M. Williams said, in order to save time, if the jury re-
tonrl a verdict for a common assault, he would not
address them.
The jury consulted for some time longer, during which
mosidendile impatience was shown by the counsel, and
the judge suggested that the case should go on in the

Yesterday a meeting was held at the letidoa
Tavern of shareholdm who, while approving of ths
gaination with the South Eastern Company, diaapproo, mat
the terms proposed. Mr. Josrp SAMCDA, who WARRI the
chair, submitted a series of resolutions :—lot. Duty* that there should be no amalgamation with the Sean Eastern on the term, proposed. 2nd. That there osgbt •be no issue of ordinary stock ; but that the
gaited should be raised by a preference stock. 3nWilekrd.
a committee be appointed to give effect to the above.
Mr. FILDEK seconded the resolutions, and in doing
took exception to the manner in which the promedMio
the meeting of July were conducted, on therh
geould
the motion of the chairman prevented amendment. Thai
might be legally proposed being put to the ahareltel&e,
It had been suggested that a petition should be draws op
to meet the prohibition against individual shareholders impairing in opposition to any bill introduced by the
company, as contained in standing order of the Home of
Commons, No. 131, and drawing attention to the informal
proceedings at the meeting in July.
Mr. Conga recommended a redeemable five per mit.
stock u the more advisable means of raising the refired
capital.
In reply to a question, the CHAIRMAN stated that the
agreement veth the South Eastern had not so far pro-
gressed as that it could not be set aside.
Mr. BRIAN held that the gradually increasing nibs( the
Brighton returns would show that in five years the pope
di MMoa would be 55 for the Brighton and 45 for the
Botta Eastern—mot 45 for the Brighton and 55 for the
South Eastern.

After some remarks from Mr. Moron and Mr. gam,
in reference to the parliamentary forms, the rmdutions
were put and canted, and the following committee ap.
pointed : —Messrs. &muds, Filder, Jones, H. Davis, asd
Howell, with power to add to their number. The petition
to the House of Commons was next submitted, but Mr.
Holy objected that the HOMO of Commons woold not
receive a petition for altering their standing orders upon
an individual ease, which owe was not before them, met%
that the bill could not be before parliament before ant
year, and if the ahareholden did their duty to themeires

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(716 pey.)

Fresh up to our market to-diy the arrivals of English
wheat were again very limited. For both red and white
parcels the tr ale was firm and Monday's advance in prices
was established. The quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands was tolerably good. Pine parcels commanded full
currencies with a fair demand. For other kinds the mar-
ket was quiet.
The floating cargo trade was steady in tone, and a fair
average business was concluded.
There was a moderate supply of foreign barley on offer,
but no English. The trade was firm for all qualities, at
very full currencies.
Malt was steady in price. A moderate quantity was dis-
posed of.
Large supplies of oats were on sale. The trade was
quiet. Fine parcels realised late rates, but inferior Rus-
sian were rather eas..er to purchase.
The supply of beaus was only moderate; nevertheless,
the inquiry was limited, on former terms.
Peas moved off slowly at late rates.
Flour was firm at the recent enhancement in value.
Linseed and r toeseed were steady, but agric.2taral mewls
met with very little attention.

THE ROYAL PARKS BILL.

The Times thinks the government very injudicious to
urge in the present session their bill to provide some more
effective means for preventing political and religious
meetings in the royal parks. As to the propriety of the
object in view, there cannot, indeed, be any reasonable
doubt ; nor can there be any doubt as to the state
of the law on this subject ; but there is • time
ter everything, and a right and wrong way of
doing it; and it seems to the Times very doubtful
whether this or any bill could be successful in its most
prominent object. If, in the face of such • bill, large
masses of the people resolved to hold a demonstration,
they Gould only be prevented by the display of consider-
able fora. But would it ever be desirable to employ such
an amount of force for such an object? The circumstances

must be very extraordinary under which any government
would undertake such a responsibility. It seems, there-
fore, that the bill would be inefficient at a great crisis,
while for ordinary occasions the present law, theoretically
imperfect as it may be, affords sufficient protection. To
press the measure forward at present is to muse an un-
necessary waste of valuable time, and gratuitously to
provoke a popular irritation.

The Teegr.:lA also contends that the ministry has cloven
the wont of all seseone for dealing with the vexed ques-
tion. The park is so disagreeably associated with the sub-
ject of the Reform Bill that it is most unwise to legislate
on the privilege of public discussion when we are still in
the midst of the reform debates. Doubtless, therefore,
the House of Commons will see the policy of delay, and
leave the bill over till next session.

The Star contends that if ministers persist is forcing ow
this measure no constitutional proceedings ought to be
spared to defeat them. It is surprised that the thorough.
going liberals do not move adjournments, speak against
time, thwart ministers in every possible way, until they
promise to give up this insulting, unconstitutional, and
dangerous bill. If the parliament refuses to do its duty.
let the people do theirs.

Tin SuLraw.—Although his Imperial Majesty
the Sultan remained at Buckingham Palace all d►y on
Sunday, he was occupied on subjects most important to
the interests of the Ottoman Empire. After the departure
of Lord Stanley, Mr. Page, the engineer of Westuinster-
bridge, was introduced to his Imperial Majesty by his
Highness Fuad Paella, and with the assistance of his son,
Mr. F. J. Page, exemplified to the Sultan and his Highness
Fuad Paula the mode of ascending steep gradients, the par-
ticulars of which were explained by his Highness Fuad
Pacha and Signor Guarrscino. His Imperial Majesty fully
, comprehended the whole system, and hoped it would
be fully developed before his ministers at Constan-
tinople, inasmuch as for the interest. of the Ottoman
Empire the introduction of a more economical system of
railways was most important.

MANCHMSTKIL

--- -----
Yesterday afternoon a detachment of about 40
of three visitors arrived at Manchester by the London and
North Western Railway, where they were met by a recep-
tion committee and a number of local volunteers. They
were conducted to the Town-hall, where luncheon had
been provided. They were to visit the theatre; in the even-
ing and a display of fireworks at Belle Vue gardens. To-
day the Mayor of Salford will officially receive them at the
Safford Town-hall, and afterwards dine them at his resi-
dence, Broughton Old-hall. They are also to be present at •
presentation of colours to thes4th Regiment of Infantry at
Salford Barracks. To-morrow they are to visit various
cotton-mills and other manufactories, and Mesm. Jennison
are to entertain them to dinner, along with the reception
committee, at Bells Vue gardens. Mews. Jennison have
placed omnibuses at their service to convey them between
Belle Vue and Manchester, and there is little doubt they
will receive all fitting attention during their sojourn at
Manchester. On their arrival at the station they were
addressed in • few words of welcome by Dr. Boyle; and
Captain Godahaus, in reply, thanked the gentlemen pre-
sent on behalf of his brethren. He said when they came
to England they only expected to be received by brothers.
in-arms, but they had been welcomed everywhere by
brethren in heart. (Cheers.) They had great pleasure in
visiting Manchester, which was known to them as the
greatest commercial city in the world, and he had no
doubt they would have • very pleasant and profitable time
there.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant Judge.)

Grorpe Parker, calling himself a refiner, of No. 19, Long-
acre, surrendered in discharge of his bail, to answer an
indictment charging him with receiving a gold watch the
property of George Bell Galloway, well knowing it to have
been stolen.

Mr. Poland prosecuted . • Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and
Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoner.
Mr. Poland opened the case, and briefly detailed the
facts, which have already been given in our police reports,
and said that the prosecutor had been under the impres-
sion that he had recovered his stolen watch through spiri-
tual agency.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, to prosecutor—l am in the
flesh, and not in the spirit, and I want to Imow is it true
that the reason you went to the shop of the prisoner was
in consequence of some information you received from
the spirit the night before.
Witness—l have spoken precisely the truth.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—Did any spirit speak to you'
Witness—No. I saw no spirit.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—Then you had no conversation
-with the spirit?
Witness—No.

Mr. Serjeent Ballantine—l find you said, " I had
slept very little during the night, and the spirit told
me that John Roberts had the watch." I want to know if
that is true.

Witness.—l had no conversation with the spirit.
Mr. Serjesnt Ballantine—Then I should like to know
how you et the name of John Roberts, without having a
couversatton.

itness.—lt flashed across my brain whilst I was in
bed, between sleeping and waking, wondering whether the
spirit would assist me or not, and dating that time the
name of John Roberta became forcibly impressed upon my
mind. I did not much believe in 'pints, but in my waking
moments I said to myself, " I wonder whether the
spirits can assist me as to the person who
stole my watch." I was assisted, and I said, " What's
the name!" and the answer was "John Roberts." I
then said mentally, "Come, now, can you tell me
where the watch is?" and was answered by impression
Long-acre, and the shop was mentally visible to me." These
words were put into my mouth by the counsel for the pri-
soner, Mr. Montagu Williams. and after a long cross-ex-
amination, in which I was exhausted, I consented to them.
My impression was strengthened from the information and
advice I received from George-street, and I went to the
prisoner's shop. I did not brandish the Spiritual Maga-
zine, and say there was a similar case in it of a watch
being discovered by the aid of spirits. I bought the watch
about twelve months ago of Mr. Grant, a pawnbroker, in
London-wall, and I made a mistake when I said I pur-
chased it in July, 1866, as it was in January of that year.
Several other witnesses having been examined,
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine made an able speech on the part
of the prisoner, and the jury returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.

REMARKS.

Barometrical pressure Is now increasing on the north coasts,
and in the south-west of Ireland. The winds are south•westerly,
excepting In the north, when they are northAaisteziy. Weather
overcast and rain still general.

The Salta Public of Lyons says :—" The female
Australian black swan in the Zoological Gardens of this
city a abort time since laid two eggs, and, as she did not
seem anxious to sit upon them, they were placed among
six others produced by a whits swan. All eight birds were
hatched, and all were of the same greyish hue. But the
male and female old birds instinctively discovered the in-
truders, and maltreated them so much that one died, the
other being rescued with some difficulty. It is at present
thriving, and the black plumes which distinguish its
race are beginning to appear."
THE VISIT OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA TO
rARIEL—A communication from Vienna in the Liberti says
under date of the 18th : " The majority of the German
and foreign papers, like ourselves, quite recently expressed
doubt of seeing the Emperor of Austria go to Paris ; some
even declared that the journey was definitively abandoned.
If those doubts were well grounded then, they must com-
pletely disappear now. We learn that the approaching
journey of the Emperor Francis Joseph to Paris is deci-
dedly settled. The exact day is not yet known on which
the sovereign of Austria will quit his capital for Paris,
where he will, no doubt, be the object of the most enthu-
siastic manifestations, as well as his prime minister. It is
known, however, that the departure will certainly take
place in the course of August, after the Sultan, whose
arrival is expected at the end of this month, has left as.
Those who believed that the Mexican catastrophe, and the
cruel misfortunes with which the house of Hapsburg has
been suocessively visited, would constitute a serious ob-
stacle to the Faris journey of the Austrian monarch, were
greatly mistaken, Baron Beust does not follow a policy
of sentiment."

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Juts 22.
APPEALS.

(Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, and
Lord Colony.)
o KES r. TURQUAND AND ANOTHER.

This was an appeal by Richard Oakes, whose name was
alleged to appear on the list of contributories in the com-
pany of Overend, Gurney, and Co, (Limited), for 2-i sharer;
against two orders of Vice-Chancellor Melina, dated
respectively the 9th February and the 7th March last,
whereby the Vice-Chancellor refused the motion of Oakes
to have his name removed from the register of members
of the company ; to have his name excluded from the list
of contributories, and to prevent a call of 10/. per share,
and directed the appellant to pay the costs of the liquida-
tors. The respondents contended that the appellant's
name was inserted in the list of shareholders with his own
knowledge and consent; that he continued such regis-
tered shareholder until the date of the winding-up order;
and that, therefore, the orders of the Vice-Chancellor ought
to be affirmed.

The arguments were not concluded when their lordships
rose.

Mr. Gifford and Mr. Swanton for the appellant; Sir
R. Palmer, Mr. Mellish, and Mr. Roxburgh for the
respondents.

ITALY.
THE ROMAN QUESTION.

FLORENCE, ieLY M.

hi yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signors Pianciani and Curti interrogated the
government respecting the inspection of the Papal
troops by a French general, which they declared
4o be a flagrant violation of the September Con-
vention, and on the armaments and enlistments
which were being made, it was supposed, for the
invasion of the States of the Church.

Signor Rattazzi, in reply, said that he believed
the rumours of the armaments were exaggerated,
and declared that they were being made by the
Romans themselves. He did not consider it neces-
sary for him to contradict the reports that
the Italian government had assented to or
indirectly participated in these preparations. He
said that those were under a delusion who believed
that the Italian government would tolerate any
violation of their engagements. The Roman ques-
tion must be solved by moral means. Explanations
had been, he said, demanded of the French
government as to the reported inspection, which
would be contrary both to the spirit and the letter
of the convention, which he would cause to be
respected. Signor Rattazzi denied that any
arrangement had been entered into with France
for the restitution of Roman deserters,
and no representative of France had ever
stated that a foreign legion should be
regarded as an indirect intervention on
the part of France. He believed that the French
government, which desired the execution of the
convention, would not be the first to violate it.
Signor Laporte said the Romans had the right
to enter their territory and endeavour to obtain
freedom for their country.
Signor Rattazzi, in reply, declared that he would
always cause the territory subject to another
government to be respected.

The debate on the address to the throne will take
place to-morrow.
