LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ARREST OF ITALIANS IN FRANCE.

" The French police," says a Paris letter in the
Nord of Brussels, " continue to display the greatest
activity in their researches after all the Italians sus-
pected of having taken part in the late plot. As the
first actof the conspiracy was to have been an attack on
the life of the Emperor, the French government have
a particular interest in searching for and seizing on all
the ramifications of this revolutionary attempt. About
thirty Italians have been already arrested at Mar-
seilles, and on the frontiers of the Var, of the Jura,
and of Switzerland. At the time of the arrest of
Bonaldi and Lipmndi in Paris, not long since, the
police discovered the cipher by the aid of which
they corresponded with .Nlazzini ; and, thanks to
that discovery, the French government was able to
follow, day by day, the march of the consp"•acy
which broke out at Genoa, at Leghorn, and in the
Neapolitan States; and it is said that the Sardinian
police seized at Genoa the special instructions of
Mazzini relative to the Emperor of the French. A
copy of these instructions has been sent to his Ma-
jesty at Plombii:res. The greatest publicity will be
given to the trials which are to take place in con-
sequence of these arrests, in order that the disclosures
made may serve as a warning and an instruction to
' the whole of Europe."

THE C4SE OF THOMAS POLLEE BACON.

This prisoner, who was tried a few sessions back
at the Central Criminal Court, with his wife, for the murder
of their two children, under circumstances which at the time
attracted a good deal of public attention, will take hit trial at
the ensuing maize. at Lincoln for the murder of his mother
by poisoning with arsenic, and from biota that have transpired
since the removal of the prisoner from the gaol of tiewgate,
the trial will doubtless create very great interest, es involving
the queidion whether the prisoner be really guilty of the
heinous offences of which he ham been accused, or whether
he has been the victim of unfortunate circunintances.
The circumstances under which the murder of his

mother wee 87ppo.a to have been committed were
involved in a good deal of ?mystery, and there
is very little doubt that the decision of the coro-
ner's jury was a good deal influenced by the disclosures
that took place upon the subsequent inquiry relative to the
death of the prisonet's children, and the astounding fact has
come to light within the last few days that lira. Bacon has
admitted that she herself administered the poison to her
mother-in-law. The details of the statement made by the
unfortunate woman hare, of course, not been permitted to
appear ; indeed, therein a good deal of reserve upon the sub-
ject, en it is hardly known at preeent what course the autho-
rities intend to take in the matter. It will be recollected that
the primiipal evidence against the husband upon the
Zsage oif murdering his mother consisted of proof of the
of manic, and that his explanation of the
circumstance was that the poison was purchosed with
• view to destroy the rats with which his house was in-
hail.he di
to
phone now states that this was the feet,
ad she says that tie Weed admistattred tie meanie to the
obi woman, and that her husband knew nothing about it. It
Is toderstood that she has stated other circumatanme which
lead very *wily to show that she is speaking the truth,
sod thee amen to be eery little doubt that the state of her
mind, at times, is such that she may have acted under a sort
of uncontrollable impulse, and have been hardly aware of the
consequences of her acts. Besides the coroner's inquisition,
a bill for murder would in the ordinary canna, be presented
against the prisoner Thomas Bacon ,• but the whole wetter
will be disposed of by one trial, and if the inquiries still
pending should tend to substantiate the statement of the wife
of the primmer, it is probable that no evidence will be offered
against the prisoner, and that he will be discharged without
having to undergo the ordeal of another trial.—DispotrA.

The prisoner had engaged no counsel, but Mr. Pries, at the
request of the judge, defended her. On being called upon to
plaid, the who was overwhelmed with grief, sobbed
the word '"Guilty." She was indistinctly heard and in a
confused state, and her plea was taken as one of "Not
Guilty." This was a meet fortunate mistake for the pri-
soner, as, instead of being condemned on her own confess on,
she wile placed on bee trial, and the jury returned a verdict

fur the dividend.

cate in inch a case.

Dates from Naples are of the 23rd. The trial is
going ca. No prisoner has yet been shot. Nicotera
has revealed the whole plan. Some of the papers
sued ea Pinwale are in cypher, and have not yet
hew made out. Foechini, the refugee, who escaped
bee Leaden after a double assassination, is among
the wousded. Pedals has shot himself. A collision
has caearred at Torre del Greco, between the people
and some French sailors belonging to the MEtEore.
The Neapolitans, on seeing the French setting up
posts on the shore foe their hydrographie works,
fancied they were going to invade the country, and
crying " We will have no revolution," they ill-used
the sailors. The King has ordered the ringleaders
of this row to be imprisoned, and has eaused his
regrets to be expressed to the takers of the Meteore.
Ferdinand, with his three eons, has arrived from
Naples at Castellmare, to reside some time.

The Pays says :—" A private correopondence from
the Chinese Seas, dated subsequently to Dec. 13, in-
forms us of what has recently occurred at Hong
Kong. The baker who was the ringleader of the
conspiracy to poison the Europeans had been ar-
rested, and brought before a court-martial legally
constituted. lie was convicted of an attempt to
poison the English charge d'affaires, sentenced to
death, and shot. Three of his accomplices were alw
executed. This example has produced a deep im-

whose bad passions and instincts are so crud and
terrible."
