VENETIA.

Some of the Vienna journals having lately made'
allusions to the sale of Venetia, although in a some--
what timid manner, a letter from that city in the
Boerserdialle reproaches them with being devoid of
frankness, and declares that the question should be,
stated in these terms—war or cession ; and it pre-

fees the latter. It says :

In preemie d the symptoms which indicate that, even
after the foil of Gaeta, the attack against Venetia will
probably be adjourned, in order to allow a few months'
time to organise the Italian national anny. the Viennese,
journals begin to weigh the chances of a diplomatic,
solution. They admit that a war, trot if su
would have no advantage for Austria, for ft law=
in advance the attitude which France would ammo
in that eventuality. A defeat of the Piedmontese
army, if France should prevent Austria from Mktg
guarantees from Piedmont, would load to nothing,
hostilities would have to be renewed until success abo
be gained, or until the prolongation of the conflict should
exhaust the forces of Austria. In what, then, would coed
hat the mediation which is spoken of to put an end to •
new effusion of blood! 1,;() one can believe that France or
England would declare for the maintenance of Austrian
domination in Venetia. A mediation of the power could
not be directed to anything else than to induce Austria
to cede, in return for a just compensation, her rights to •
costly property which must sooner or laterslipfrom het
hands. It is, nadoetnuately, impossible to And any o4be
solution which would be pacific and advantageous.
This is what the Viennese journals dare not yet avow,
bonnie they fear to me their sentiments of patriotism and
loynity placed in suspinoo, so long ea the government con-
tinues to maintain the principle that Venetia is inalienable.
Is not, however, the present the moment for putting nide
this lerlfnenee, and for opening a dimension on a prin-
ciple, blind respect for which may have deplorable conse-
quences, without arming any guarantee that it will be
maintained after all? What oar press ought to do is to
show clearly, sod without prejudice, the falsity of illusions
ithicti_gins to this fatal principle unchangeable stability in
Oar of6clal &else Let it then venture to spook out
plainly. The Austrian government cannot be too diem
warted that • new war with Italy alone, ore
with
Italy
united to France. would again see Austria abandoned by ail
her "natural silica."

sf age, whose eyes were dread-
fully blackened, was with administering poison to
berisusband, and also wi attempting to stab him.
Michael Mana, a jourrernan shoemaker, deposed that on
the previous Sunday he and his wife had • few words, and on
Friday aftensoonthey went out together, and entered a public.
hoaae in Whitechapel, where he ordered • pint of beer.
He placed the beer on • bench while lie went to light his
pipe. Upon returning his wife urged him to take some of
it. She seemed anxious for him to take the leer, and be
drank a part. He immediately said there WAS something
elle than beer in the mug, for it tasted sweet. The prisoner
said there was nothing in it. Witness then handed the
beer to • man who was standing by, and he took it, and said
there was nothing in it, but threw the contents away. Wit-
ness then saw a piece of paper, labelled " poison," in the
prisoner's hand, and he immediately seised her
hand, and held it till • police-constable came.
The paper, which was found to OUllialo • white
powder, was taken from her by force, whereupon she made
a rush at her husband with • knife, exclaiming that she
would do for him. The prisoner wastaken to the station,
and the husband to a hospital, when it was ascertained that
the paper contained acetate of lead, and the contents of
the husbands stomach after he was sick had been analysed,
when a portion of the same poison was discovered.
The prisoner declared that she and her husband were
continually quarrelling, and that he had ill-need her for
some time, and had given her the black eye she see now
suffering from- He had also threatened ef'i bring home
another woman. A knife was produced, with which the
prisoner attempted to stab her husband, and which had
been sharpened to an acute point. The prisoner, in refer.
ence to the poison, said die bad bought it at a chemist's
shop, with the intention of poisoning herself, but she did
not put any into the beer. Her husband had been a great
villain, and treated her with barbarity.
The husband did not deny inflicting the punishment upon
her, but said she was a good-forsaking woman. He was
quite at • loss, however, to account for the attack upon his
life, as they had not reemtly quarreled.
After sonic further evidence, Mr. Barker determined upon
remanding the prisoner.

A poor woman applied to ti;;;aps • trate for advice, and
said she had purchased some sausages at a shop in the Lo-

had eaten some he was violently sick, and she was certain
it arose from the sausages Upon looking at them closely
it was evident that they were bad, and several people to
whom she had shown them said they were very nasty.
A sample of the sausages was here handed np to his
honour, who observed that they appeared to be anything
but inviting. He said he had heard of sausages hemming
poisonous after being kept a long time, and thn was parti-
cularly the case in Italy, where sausage. were so much
eaten. His honour directed that a constable should go to

INDIA.

w. have received advises and papers from Cal-
cutta to June 18 ; Madras, June 24. From Cal-
cutta there is very little of public interest, and the
principal points have been anticipated by telegraph.
The Indigo Commission was still sitting, but its in-
vestigations had not yet produced much result. The
following is from the Calcutta Englishman:

On the whole, the "signs of the times" are better, a
feeling which may be traced to the confidence induced by
the prompt action of the home government in recalling Sir
Charles Trevelyan, giving the strongest confirmation of the
assurance of the Indian government that they will carry out,
intact and resolutely, their financial reforms, which would
have been all but impossible had Sir Charles been sup-
rted at home. Already the announcement has had a most
beneficial influence, and the classes who raw in the Madras
Minutes a loop-hole of escape from their just share in the
burden' of the State, resign themselves to their fate, which
they would never have thought of contending against, but for
the weapon so unwisely throat into their hands by that
most mistaken course of the Madras Governor.

We regret to announce the loss of the Barque Jeremiah

His Excellency the Honourable the Governor in Council,

Sir,-1. In my despatch No. 23 of this date I have com-
municated to you the reasons for which bier Majesty's
government have been compelled to take the painful step of
removing Sir C. Trevelyan from this appointment as
Governor of Fort St. George.
2. Her Majesty's government desire at the same time to
place upon record their high appreciation of the services
which Sir Charles Trevelyan has rendered during his
adminletration.
3. They have observed with great satisfaction the careful
attention which he ban given to the numerous questions of
unportance which have been brought under the notice of
four government during this period.
4. His observations upon the condition of the districts of
your presidency which he has visited show that his constant
aim has been to raise the moral condition and to increase the
material prosperity of the people.
5. No servant of the crown has more earnestly endea-
voured to carry out the great principles of government
which were promulgated to the princes and people of India
in her Majesty's gracious proclamation.
t For these valuable services the thanks of her Majesty's
government are due to Sir Charles Trevelyan.—l have, &c.,

has its truffle ou :red on over a single pair of rails, but the
second line is in a sufficiently forward state to be opened
within the nest ten days. At Canterbury the chairman and
dune:ten and their friends, who filled 15 nmagee, proceeded
a short distance down the old Dover (main) road, and
branching off to the left, traversed some 16 miles of by and

CHINA.

Advices from China are—Hong Kong, June .1 ;
Shanghae, May 30. The following is from the
summary of the China Mail :
Since the departure of last mail nothing of a political
nature has taken place in regard to our relations with China,
unless the success of the rebels near Shanghae may affect
the progress of events. Most of the transports which had
left for the North have had to put back to this port, on
account of adverse winds, and it is uncertain when they
may again take their departure, as the south-east monsoon
has scarcely yet set in. It is not likely that any general
movement will take place until the arrival of the British
and French Envoys Extraordinary, who are expected to
arrive by the mail now due. Sir Hope Grant aM Admiral
Hope still remain at Hong Kong, but are expected to leave
in a very few days.
The rebels, who have been said to be put down on so
many occasions, only to make their appearance in some
other quarter, however, have lately met wi.h considerable
mimes,. At Shanghae the panic amongst the native traders
was very great, and trade has been seriously affected by the
=ings of the marauders. The native authorities at
ow and Soochow have burned the suburbs of those
:sties, so as to render them more easy of defence. Great
riisery prevailed amongst the people. The imperial go-
vernment appears unable to protect its subjects ; and those
who have anything to lose were chartering foreign vessels
Ito convey their families and valuables southwards. The
British and French ministers had issued the following noti-
fication, which hail produced a good effect in Shaughise :
" The undersigned issues this special proclamation to
traDquillise the minds of the people.
Shanghae is a port open to foreign trade, and the
native dealers residing therein have large trannctions with
the foreigners who resort to the place to carry on their
business. Were it to become the scene of attack and of
civil war, commense would receive a severe blow, and the
interests of those, whether foreign or native, who wish to
pursue their peaceful avocations in quiet, would suffer
great loss.
The undersigned will therefore call upon the corn-
sunders of her Majesty's naval and military authorities to
I ;Ake proper measures to prevent the inhabitants of Shang-
hai from being exposed to massacre and pillage, and to lend
.heir assistance to put down any insurrectionary movements
sIMODg the ill-disposed, and to protect the city against any
ttack.

THE POLICE COURT&

BOW-STREET.

A glassblower, nan;;11 Foley, living in Lower
Searle 's-place, who has been repeatedly imprisoned for as-
multi upon his wife, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged
with beating her and his two children, Ellen, aged 14, and
Hannah, aged 8, threatening to murder them, and actually
throwing the younger girl into the fireplace.
The elder girl deposed that her father came home very
drunk about 2 o'clock that morning, having been out
drinking all nil ht. He beat her mother and made her give
him what money she had, to go out again and get more
drink. He then declared that he had been reading the
and he meant to "do as they do at Walworth."
papers,
ireao said he would " murder the three of them and
swing for IL" He then seized her little sister, whom he
flung into the fireplace, saying that he did not care what
he did to her, for she was too young to give evidence against
him. Witness dragged her away from the fire. She was
slightly burnt. They all cried "Murder." and sonic of the
neighbours came in and restrained him till a policeman was
sent for. He bad also beaten her (witness).
Caroline Foley, the prisoner's wife, corroborated this
statement. The prisoner was "a good tralesman," and
could earn 2/. a week, but he never brought any of his
money home. He used to spend his wages in the public-
hones among loose women, and when he had squander.xl all
his own earnings he would extort from her the money she
worked bard for, leaving the children without the ne-
cessaries of life.

The prisoner coolly declared that the whole of the evi-
dence was fa/se. He had not struck either his wife or the
girls, and the younger one had fallen against the fireplace
by accident.
Mr. Healy said be was quito satisfied that the evidence
was true. The prisoner's brutal conduct covid only be ac-
counted for by supposing that he had read certain painful
cases which had recently appeared in the newspapers, and
that he was powered with a morbid desire to instate what
filled everyone but himself with horror. He mutt be im-
prisoned for six months, with hard labour ; and, at the ex-
piration of that term, must find bail in two sv'eties of 2tl.
each to keep the peace for six mouths more.

wilful murder of Sarah Pratt, at Birmingham, on the 18th
of April last.

by the crown, for the defence.
The prisoner on being placed in the dock, and the Clerk of
the Antigua having put the usual questions, said he did
DOOM to plead ; but, at the suggestion of the judge, he
allowed a plea of not guilty to be entered for him.
It appeared from the evidence, which was of considerable
Lisp, that the prisoner, who is • shoemaker, had been
paymg his address. to the deceased, who was a barmaid or
aervaist at • small inn at Deriten, near Birmingham, but his
attentions did not seem to have been acceptable to her.
However, he persevered, and at an early hour on Monday,
the 18th of April, he went to the inn before her master and
!Sense were up, and seeing her cleaning in the bar he en-
deavoured to lift her over the counter. She escaped from

lived in a court a short distance from the inn. Telling her
that be would give her be., he sent her to Mr. Jackson's to
my that her sister wanted to see Sarah Pratt. This had the
effect of bringing the victim to Mrs. Holmes'. Just as the

Mr. Sanderson, the solicitor to the Commissioners for the
Protection of the Fishery in the River Tweed, attended
before Mr. Alderman Hale, who eat for the Lord Mayor
during his unavoidable absence while performing his official
duties in connection with the election for the vacant alder-
manic gown, accompanied by some other gentlemen, to make
an application that the court should dispose of a summons

time that it should be understood that there had been no
wilful ity on his part, and upon these conditions he
expressed himelf ready to plead guilty, and to pay any fine

A shoot stleareion took place, daring which the defendant
biasyrewed bee opinion that he had been unfairly dealt with
the matter. _

Alderman Hale paid he did not think there was any
ground for this complaint. It was very important that
such as those which formed the subject of the

commissioners had done no more than his duty in bringing
the matter before the public.
Some further conversation then took place between the
parties, and at length an intimation was given that they
could not come to any terms.
Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, mid that, as that was the

A SHOCKING AFPAIS.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. H. Phillips, deputy
coroner for the Wolverhampton district of South Stafford-
shire, held an inquest at the Walbrook Arms, Cawley, near
the Princes-end Station of the West Midland Railway, on
the body of John Stephenson, a miner, whose death had
occurred under the following terrible circumstances. From
the evidence of five witnesses it appeared that the deceased
bad lodged at Toll-aid, a few miles from Cowley, in the
hones of an engino-tenter, named Henry Lewis, whose
family consisted of his wife Mary and her enter. There was
shoo another lodger ia the house. On Monday the family
and the lodger removed from Toll-end to their present
residence. On Tuesday deceased returned to Toll-end to
lodge, that he might be nearer his work. When he left he
borrowed 6s. from Mn. Lewis, and excepting one garment,
which was to be prepared for his use by Sunday Trott, took
with him all his clothes. After having be told a witness
that he had bad a few wards with Mrs. Lewis, bat bad left
heron good terms ; nemethelees it would have been better
for both Mrs. Lewis and also himself, if be had never seen
her. At about 11 o'clock on Wednesday he returned to
Lewis'. house, took dinner with them, and said that as he
did not go to wort on Monday and Tuesday he was not
allowed to work on that day. On Holiday he was drinking.
When Lewis went to hie work thew dinner his wife went
upstairs to clean the lodger's room, and deceased remained
to the kitchen with her sister. He soon took off his
shoesand stole upstairs. Immediately afterwards Mrs. Lewis
was heard to say, "13* down !" and there was wrestling.
The sister went far enough upstairs to see Mrs. Lewis lying
serest the bed with her throat out ; and Stephenson was
standing by her side unbuttoning his shirt collar with hie
left band, and reisim his right, with a mar in it, already
reeking with the blood of Mrs. Lewis, towards his own
throat. By the next witness be was seen sitting on the bed
with a frightful gash in his throat ; and by
the third witness, lying on the floor of the room,
dead, and the razor near to his right band. The
same evening the unhappy woman was able to whisper
that, s she was kneeling on the flour scouring,
the deceased came up, twice made overtures which she
rejected, and that he then, standing behind her, pulled
back her bead and cut her throat three tines, she herself
receiving wounds on her bands and on the back of her neck
while endeavouring to liberate herself. She also explained
that after he had thin attempted to take her life he twice
cut his own throat, and died. The poor woman remains
sensible and can speak is a whisper, but the surgeon
thinks she will not recover. Nothing is known?

Henley in Lancashire, but is without @arriving relative..
Mrs. Lewis said that he never before made min overtures,
and her husband does not give him • bad chanter. His
temper, however, was very uneven, and he often evinced
morosenees. The jury returned a verdict of fain de w.

15-EdloßBiiOß THE FOREIGN-OFFICE.

Sir J. SHELLEY Raked the First Commissioner of Works
whether there was any objection to exhibit the designs for
the Foreign-office to which the first and second premiums
were awarded.

Mr. COWPER mid that the dißiculty which he had in
answering in the affirmative the question which had been
put to him was this—that the drawings which were now
exhibited in the tea-room, though they were hastily pre-
pared, did suggest the character of the building which Mr.
Scott was about to erect for the Foreign-office. He was
afraid that if be were to accede to the suggestion that the
other drawings should be exhibited, it might lead to the
impression that the government wished the House of Com-
mons to renew and reopen the whole question, with a view
of coming to a decision which had already very wisely been
submitted to referees, who had been appointed on account
of their sporial knowledge of the subject.
Sir J. SHELLEY gave notice that on an early day he
should move that the designs to which the first and second
premiums were awarded should be exhibited.
