THE TWO BIOMES.

NAPLES, 144 v 14.

Two of the murderers of Mr. Blandford have been
arrested, and one hu admitted the fact of the other
having given the blow, which however was not the
I cause of his death. The man thus denounced hu
across his face the marks of the cane with which
Mr. Blandford struck him. It is the opinion of the
authorities that this evidence will be insufficient to
lead to a conviction, and that the man will therefore
escape. Having discovered two of the persons con-
cerned in this ruffianly act, there should be no real
difficulty in discovering the third; but will he be
found ?

From Sicily I have nothing new to tell you, ex•
cept that there, u here, there is the strongest and
most general sentiment of disgust and discontent
with this government. There is—l speak of Palermo,
and in comparison with other and happier days—
there is no society, no anion, because there is no
confidence ; and the one absorbing thought is that
of the political situation and prospects of the coon-
, try. This is all very sad, and what makes it worse
is, that instead of introducing any ameliorations into
the government, there seems to be a desire to goad
and irritate by giving the clergy an inquisitorial
power over families; but of this more in another
letter.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Heurronn, JULY 0.

Mr. Joel. Wilke, in hie addresa to the grand jury, took
occasion to make some obeervatinne in reference to the bill
at present Wore parliament for the abolition of that body
within the metropolitan district. He mud it was hit opinion
the, grand juries were most useful. and he hoped they would
not be abolished. He woe induced to make thie observetion
from the feet of three being now before tairliionent a bill for
renderiug the PUMMOPOII: of grand juries, unnecessary within
the jurisdiction of the Cooled Criminal Court. He, however,
looked upon the grand jury no one of the heat preservatives
of liberty in troublesome times, as mewling between the
crown and the subject, and protecting the latter from perse-
cution under odour of law ; and it woe not hem., we now
lived in peaceful times that the nentemity of grand jurin
might not tiptin become apparent. He elm could not help
thinking that grand jades were of great cue in directing the
openitione of the law In ewe that calm before the mart, and
that they were of the highest importation as a body of gen-
tlemen mending to POP ittleioo done to thettiminer on the one
hand, while, na the other, they were of greatest support
to the judge in camas unfair attar* was made upon him.

PARIS, SUNDAY iT=llllO.

The assassin Verger (whose name some people
DOW say is spelt, not Veres, as at first, but Vergd)
has been transferred from Maas to the Concierge-
rie, to await his trial. He is an secret, and watched
night and day, to prevent him from committing
suicide. On being asked whether he had chosen an
advocate to defend him, he replied that he did not
want one, and was prepared to defend himself. It
is even reported that he threatened ,to make disci*.
MIMS which would necessarily lead to his pardon.
The French law does not allow a man to be tried fbr
his life without the aid of counsel, and, when a pri-
soner refuses to name one, the court appoints ex
officio an advocate to defend him. In the present
ease the president has selected M. Nogent-Saint
Laurens. It is confirmed that the trial will take
place on Saturday, the 17th, and that M. le Premier
President Delanglo will preside.

Our nerchents are in a state of great uneasiness, and U

The local authorities, in place of punishing the malefactors,
are imposing fresh taxes on the people to replace the money
stolen. News of a still more dimatroua nature has been re-
ceived here. It is said that the great caravan, which left
Damascus for Bared two months since, has been completely
plundered by the Bedouins of the tribe of ChAllallaT. This
caravan, composed of 1,260 camels, carried merchandise
worth 15,000,000 piastre*. The drivers in want of water
turned from the direct mad to reach a branch of the Tftri is or
Euphrates, and while in the Desert the caravan was attacked
and pillaged. This news has caused great anxiety among
the merchants here, who still bops that it will not be con-
firmed."
