ITALY.

A letter from Gleam, published in the Risorgi-
motto of the 13th inst., states that on the anniver-
sary of the expulsion d the Austrians from Genoa,
the republican party attempted to excite a revolu-
tionary movement. A red flag having been fixed
in the public place, during the night many of the
party assembled around it, when a party of gene-
d'armes arrived, and p ted further assemblage,
and the agita•ion gradually subsided.
A letter from Rome in the same paper states that
the agent of the house of Rothschild had bad an
interview with Cardinal Antonelli to solicit canoes-

sions in favour of the Jews. The Cardinal answered
that the Pontifical government being essentially
ecclesiastical could not do as other governments bad
done. He added, however, that when the reform. in
the laws relating to courts of justice were published,
the condition of the Jews in the Roman States would
be ameliorated.

Letters from Rome of the 10th instant state that
further reductions are making in the French army of
occupation. The let battalion of Light Infantry has
left Rome on its way to France. The number of
Frecch troops in that capital is now barely suf-
ficient to garrison the place. Numerous bands of
robbers have establshed themselves between Rome
and Florence, when they have victimised several
travellers.

struction of the Caps boon will not be fruitless. Five Dutch

RAILWAYS.

TIM DAY, Two o'Caocx. '
The market for railway shares continua very good, •
sad the prices at which the trail/motions in all the
principal stocks have been effected, are higher
than were to be obtained yesterday. Prepa-
rations for the settlement of the half-monthly
amount are attracting the attention of the dealers.
In most stocks the account proves of a decidedly
" bull" character, and high rates of "continuation"
have been paid for the privilege of carrying
over to the next account, which is fixed for
the 31st inst. Great Norther= have risen today to

they receded to 1, and then kept at about to 1 till

an apward movement set in, and they have rapidly

PRINCESS'S.

The novelty at this tre)sat eight, after the re-
pregantetion of the Stranyee, with Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kean supporting the principal characters, consisted of what
was described in the words of the afield, as a new grand
emit Christens Pantomime, entitled, A lonso the Brave and
the Fair Insoles. • or, Harlequin and the Baron all covered
with Jewels and (Lid. It would, of course, be offensive to
our initial& friends to infer, by entering upon details of plot
for incident, their literary deficiency in being either ignorant
or oblivious of the renowned legend upon which this harle-
quins& has been built by Mr. Fitsball, who claims the
authotship of the dramatic portion, with the aid of many
able assistants in the musical, scenic, mechanical, Teepee-
ehoreau, and pantomimic departments. It will be quite suf-
Inset to state that being subjeeted alternately to the hesitate's%
mid the noxious influences of two converse or opposing fairies
Fidelio or Fidelity, Miss Daly ; and I mitten., (tilimViveak),
the Fair Imogene, impersonated by Mr. Wynn, is transformed
Into the Columbine of Miss Carlotta Leolercq ; that Alor BO
the Brave, represented by Mr. F. Cooke, is rendered into
the H irle wain of Mr. Cormack ; and the " Baron, all covered
with jewels and gold," who seduced the affection of the Fair
'lmogene from her Ant love, Aloes°, while absent in the
Holy Lend at the Crusaded, appean in the pantomimic por-
tion in the nimble and humorous Clown of Mr. Flesmore.
Doe Gozzlenne, the papa of Miss Imogene, completes the
principal group as Pantaloon, and he was represented in
both capacities by that clime pantomimist Mr. Paulo. Thee
followed the weal routine of tumbling', !espies., kicking',
and ludicrous disasters which have been allotted to Clown and
Pantaloon by the immutable laws of pantomime for count-
less yeses past, to the intense gratification of whole
neamtione of our sires and grandelree, and great.granciaires;
and apparently by the thrill cacttinnations which ever and
alum reached oar ran, to the equal delectation of the sous
' and grandsons, and great grandsons of the 'signet era. A
few of dune misadventures and hitches which are generally
incidental to a first night's performance--especially of a
' pantomime., dependent as it is coon the facile and ready
' working of new moan and maehinery—did certainly occur,
I het the asellenes were goodnatureel, and, *pm the whole,
appeared satisfied ; receiving the tricks and jokes with mer-
riment and applause. Mum Leclercq favoured as with some
'Rile and prat •fal dancing. Mr. Commack is an effective
Harl*qtain, and Mr. Fiezmore fairly &mounded all the young
I gentlemen present with the 'igen• and flexibility of his
gymnastic powers. To do the maingement justice, we must
god that no expense appears to hays been spared in scenery,
' entente, sad decoration.

AMERICA.

By the arrival of the packet ships Albert Gallatin
and J. Z , in the Mersey, we have intelligence from
New Yo:k to the Bth inst. The new, from the State'
is unimportant; but we have a month's later intelli-
gene.. from California. In consequence of the recent
loss of I Is by the stem-toiler explosion in New York,
notice of a bill had been given in the legislature to
provide f-r the security of boilers.
The telegraphic dispatch, received here by the last
steamer, announcing the destruction by fire of a por-
tion of St. Francisco, is confirmed. The Boundary
Commissioners bad terminated their labours in Cali-
fornia, and the head of the commission was expected
to return immediately to the States. A large bed of
anthrani:e coal had been discovered between the
Sacramento River and Spitters' Creek. Large bands
of.uratters were taking revision of the land in the
Bunion of Dulorts, which was held by the Mexicans
under previous grants, and much excitement was oc-
eaaioned by their prcc.edings. The reboildiag of the I
burnt district of hen Francisco had commenced, and
Was proceeding with unexampled rapidity.
Flour was being pushed up the country in large
quaniitire, and it was thought the mines would not
amffer from any want of food. In San Francisco, a
movement wag in progress for the es'abliehment of a
free school. General Riley bed published a procla-
mation is which he recognised the new constitution
and government of California; but exception bad
been taken to • portion of the general's manifesto,
whieti, whilst it advised the exclusion of black labour,
would admit eonv'c's from New South Wales. Dis-
turbances had broken out in the mines between the
Chilecos and Americans, and it was feared the dis-
agreement would be of a serious nature. Robberies
were being perpetrated on the isthmus by the natives.
Advice, from Banana-I state that it bad been made

- -
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors
in this company was held at Plymouth on Tueed-ey, Mr. T.
Woolconibe in the chair. There was a full attendance both
of directors and sharehol ler*.
It will be recollected that in November last the directors
circulated for the approval of the shareholders a statement
of a lic.ancial scheme that they were prepared to introduce
in tho ham of a b.ll in the present session of parliament.
This scheme had been adopted by the ehareh•lders ; the
directors had introduced a bill founded upon that statement,
but the bill had been met with oppneition. A motion was
made fur the adjournment of the meeting, and that an extra- '
ordinary general meeting be called toconsider the hill is ques-
tion now before parliament, whether it is expedient to pro-
ceed, and if so, then to make such alterations to regulate the
-rights of the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and Mid-
land Companies, as to the appointment of directors ; to de-
clare the righter of shareholders open free of charge to every
shareholder ; to declare nu person eligible as director, unless
in possession of more than 2U shares ; in ease of a vacancy at
the board, to vest the power of election solely in the hands
of the shareholders; to send lists of shareholden
and to c 41 a meeting althin two months to fill such vacancy;
to take power to let or sell the line to any body or corpora.
whatever; and that copies of the bill and the petitions
be printed at the expense of thc company. (Laughter.)
The (notion not being seconded was lost. A poll was then
demanded. The poll was then taken, and was closel when
sufficient numbers had voted to carry the motion. The bill
wee then sanctioned, and the meeting broke up.

yeati) geneial meeting of this company was held on Mon-
day, at Millbay, Col. 11. B. Harris in the choir. From the
dieectors' report, it spperred that the company had new
effected the purchase of all the share, of Millbay, and were
in possession of their purchases, 'I hey hoped to be shortly
able to sell the portions of land which would not be required,
and to m eke considerable a ranee in the works. It men-
tioned the fact, that four selditienal steamers called now at
the pier, and they had proved to be a source of revenue.
The interest which had been before paid to the sharcholden,
the directors now recommended should be discontinued, es
the interest was beir.g paid out of the capital. By the state-
ment of accounts, a total expenditure of 102,6081. le. Id.

_MINDING A TRILIATIMING LETTS".

Josiah Crouch, 36, labourer, was indicted for feloniously
sending to Thomas South a letter, threatening to burn and
destroy barns, wheat, hay, and other farming property, be.
longing to him.
It appeared that the prosecutor is a farmer at linblesdon,
and the primmer, who is an agricultural labourer, was 1..
the earViee of another farmer In the same neighbourhood.
On the morning of the 3rd January a letter, address. d to the
prosecutor, was found upon the door steps of his house,
which was fined with gross abuse of the prosecutor, and
with *mate of firing his premises. The prosecutor imme-
diately communicated with the inspector of the Hertford-
shire constabulary, stationei at Hudoesion, and the result
was that the prisoner was .pertly afterwards taken into ens-
ts so
oilpresent
upon
the charge. The evidence produced
him went to show that he had repeatedly been beard
I. cemplaki of the prosecutor making use of a threshing.
fashion upon his farm, and also generally of the use of
machinery for terming purposes as tending to throw labour-
ing men out et employment ; and likewise, that upon one
cannon last summer he had impressed a wish that Heaven
would rain down tire and destroy a haymaking machine be-
longlag to another tamer the next time it was ands use of.
florae evidence was likewise given to prove that the letter
in question was in the handwriting of the prisoner, but it
was by no means of a conclusive character.
Kr. Chamben made an able address to the jury for the
detsass, untlan that, although undoubtedly there [Light be
eat* egaiwtt the prisoner, yet that the evidence
was so by any inseam esilleiently cogent to justify theca in
eas.viethig the prisoner gg a onion, an offense as the one
imputed to him.
The jury returned a verdict of Not guilty.

continue on a moderate scale, and the article is hell for ex.

Sir 0. GREY said the government had ptoposed a mea-
sure. last OUPLOO, having the emus object ; but there were

Sir Ii INGLIS believed this was one of the worst bills

with private property, which was a sufaMent reason for it'
rejection.
