The r rofessi mal brethren of the late Dr. Bickersteth
assernb!ed in considerable force at the Medical Hall,
Hope-street, whence thy proceeded to the cemetery,
forming in line at the entrance to receive the procession
from Rodney-street. The remains having been cony( yed
into the chapel, the impressive funeral service was read
by the Rev. Dr. M•Nvile. The precession was then
re-formed, to proceed to the family vault at the west end
of the gro3nds, the Rev. Dr. M`Neile anti the Rev. Mr.
Bitty walking in front. The pall-bdarers were Archdeacon
Bickersteth. the Bishop of Hap to, Archdeacon Hill, and
Archdeacon Jones The f 110 lie g were the chief mourners:
Mrs. Bickerstett., Mr. E. R. Biekerstetb, the two Mi- ses
Bickersteth, the three Misses Biekersteth, Mrs. Hakes
and Mr. Hakes, Mrs. Mayor and Mr. R. Mayor, Mrs.
Hill and Mr. Tio!gsm. The mourners were followed by
the various servants of the deceased. The ceremony over
the grave was read, and the vas. coacou-se of people who
had assembled to testify their respect fur the deceased
were deeply affected. The arranments of the funeral
were under the management of Messrs. Haigh and
Gregory of Bold street.

THEFT BY A POLICEMAN.— On Friday, at the Edinburgh
police court, Robert Whitehead, a person lately employed
in the police force, was found guilty of stealing a watch
from a man whilst the latter was in a state of intoxi-
cation in the street. He was sentenced to six'y days' impri-
sonment with hard labmr.
HENGLEa's ClRCUS.—Although the attractions through
the town are varied and numerous, yet this Circus keeps its
wonted place of magnetism, and there is no lack whatever
of crowded houses, both at the day and evening per-
formances. This could not ba otherwise, when the
excellence of the treat provided for the public is con-
sidered.

STREET Nuts orcEs.--In calling the attention of the
police to the following dangerous nuisances in the crowded
thoroughfares, and indeed in all the streets, we are under
the impression that Major Greig and his officers need only
be apprised of the fact in order to have a speedy remedy
adopted. We may remark that several complaints have
been made to us on the subject, but we would respectfully
remind our friends—the public—that we do not belong to
the municipal police, but that we thus bring the matter
under the notice of the authoritie, and if the said authori-
ties do not perform their duty, he fault is not to be left at
our door. We believe this notice will be attended to. The
nuisances to which we allude are the playing of ball,
hurling, rolling of hoop, and " tip" or " cat." All these
are very painfully known to the pedestrians of our streets,
and if the police do not put a stop to them, many, no doubt,
will " take the law into their own hands," and inflict sum-
mary punishment on the urchin who " pucks a ball into
his eye," or covers him with mud, or as bad, perhaps worse
than either, breaks several shillings worth of glass in a
window with his " eat." We shall see what the police
will do aftetlthis hint.— Ver Sec
flow Tent A POLLONICON IYAS ADMIRED AT THE WELLING
TON DOCK.—Yesterday Patrick Burns and Thos. lll‘Culloce,
two persons of respectable appearance, were placed before
Mr. Mansfield, by detective officers Povey and ill'Cullech,
on a charge of having picked the puckers of two gentlemen
on the previous day, at the Wellington dock. When it
wis announced that the troupe belonging to the great
American Circus were about to be landed from the ship
Southampton, after their most successful voyage, a very
large number of persons coegregated to see the wanders of
this monster estabiishmtnt. Amongst the nimpany were
the above two gentlemen, and, from some cause or other,
those two efficient detectives directed particular attention
to their movements as they pretended to be admiring each
curiosity as it w!S lauded ; the result of which was, that
they saw them deliberately put their hands into the pockets
of two individuals and abstract from each a pocket hand-
kerchief. They were speedily secured, when the stolen
property was found in their possession. Yesterday, the
pat ties appeared before the magistrates to substantiate the
charge, and the magistrates sent them to luxuriate at
Walton gaol for the term of three mouths.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.I

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
It is affirmed that the Conference which took

place yesterday at the Foreign office on the Neuf-
chatel question made some progress towards its
conclusion—l doubt whether I can add as atisfac-
tory one. The King of Prussia has, it is Said,
lewered his terms—that is, his demand for a pecu-
niary indemnity—and it is possible that the final
sitting of the Conference may take place before
the Ist of May. I have just heard that Dr. Kern
has gone to Berne, or is on the point of going, to
submit the result to the Federal Council. I fear
I cannot say that either. party will be content-
- Switzerland because she has to pay something;
and the King that he has not been able to screw
• out of Republican Helvetia the very last centime
of his first demand. Formerly it was said, "point
rl'argent point de Suisse." Switzerland would like
to say now, "point de Suisse, ni point d argent."
Those who will be most delighted to get rid of the
business are the gentlemen of the Conference who
have had the patience to listen to the dreary quer-
renitig of Dr. Kern and M. de Hatzfeldt so long.
I hear that orders have been despatched from
Madrid to 'the Spanish seaports to suspend the
,preparations for the expedition against Mexico. I
leave already mentioned that the difference was in
a fair wee, towards an adjustment. '
The Journal des Debats contains a long article on
the .affairs of Spain, and particularly on the
Spanish elections. The article bears the signature
of M. de •Sacy, though I suspect that gentleman
has had nothing to do with it beyond the name. It
bears the old cachet too visible to escape any one.
The origin of the, communication is of little
interest; it is more interesting to know that it is
full of misstatements. For instance, alluding to
the defeat of the Liberal Candidates, the Debats
„declares, with as much solemnity as if it believed
ever; word of the matter, that they were defeated
notwithstanding " the impartial and (so to speak)
indifferent attitude of the Government." Again,
it says, "the Government wished to allow pub-
lie opinion to express 'itself with perfect independ-
ence."
Now, the Debats has ever been one of the ablest
supporters of constitutional government in the ale;
street ; and I am certain it has not lost the hope
of witnes'sing- its revival some day in Feence.
Did the liberty of the press exist in bell country,
.and were the Debate to say
ttrw ~tat it thought, it
would, I am equally e
qualify the election in
'ranee a little better than a farce; played with as
mY,:,11 Seaminess as each a en rformance can be got
thraPet. If the Debats were asked whether moral
pressure was-exercised on the electors, it would
nswer in the affirmative; and, if it dared to be sin-
core, would-denounce the system. What it would
blame in its own country why should it extenuate;
or rather extol, in Spain ?. For it cannot be sup-
posed for a moment that the Debats is ignorant of
the real state of the case. It must be well aware
of the flagrant frauds practised on the voting lists
wherever a Liberal candidate presented himself.
If it be alleged, as is often assumed, that Spain
is as yet not prepared for representative govern-
ment, it would be- a fair subject for discussion.
eThe same -has been said of- Fiance, and, theie are
men whose opinicn is not undeserving of notice
'who think -that her apprenticeship to rational
freedom will not. be at an end for many years to
come. On this the Debats would probably hold a
different opinion. Be this as Rimy, it is a little too
'bad that so eminent au organ of the Liberal press
should pronounce eulogies on the " perfect impar.
tiality" of a government which, as every man,
woman, and child in Madrid, Barcelona, Saragosa,
and, in fact, wherever liberals presented them
'selves, knows, had recourse to the most flagrant
praetices to prevent them from voting. -
The following private letter, dated 17th, has been.
received from Madrid—
" Allow me to say` a few words about our situa-
tion hereeunhapppily not very encouraging or very
thiateringe Incidents are not wanting, but all
go to prove the badness of. our politicaCsituation,
if, indeed, such a term is applicable to the case.
You are already aware how the elections have turned
out.; they do not give a majority to the present
Ministers any, more than to those that may suc-
ceed them, which means that there are deputies
who are Ministerial quand meme—no matter who
the Ministers are whom they are called upon to
()bey, Admission to.the Corzes has been refused
'to almost every man weh is the advoCate of Parlia-
Mentary government iii its proper sense, who is
kriewn to be independent, and to whom can' be
imputed the crime of being popular. There are
about half a dozen Progresistas out of the 349 corn •
posing the Chamber. The means employed to
obtain that result you are already aware of. The
reeectionists have always employed them, and for that,
and with their constitution re-established and their
old system restored, and the Cortes at their feet,
they will find it difficult, if not impossible to
govern. Ypti are aware that we have a law on the
press' of a most restrictive nature, but which,
nevertheless, does not re establish the previous
•censorship. Yet this law does not satisfy them, and
in practice, and on a scale which is hardly credible,
the previous censorship exists, as was proved in
the late prosecution of the Iberia, when M Olozaga
demensirated the absurdity of those preceedings
in his eloquent and unanswerable speech for the
defence. What takes place with the press is
applicable to the elections. The old electoral law,
which had ceased to exist, was revived- for the
:present Occasion.- It was framed so as to give
:IT 1 electoral body that should be absolutely devoted
the retrogradOPOlicy of the Moderado party.
But even that law did not suffice, and the govern-
ment lies had recourse to coercion, to fraud, to
:violence, and to corruption of the most flagrant
kind, Thus, after having revived the constitution
and their restrictive laws, they established abitrary
-rule throughout—arbitrary rule for the press,
arbitrary rule for the elections, and martial law to
maintain their domination. Yet- one thing is
beyond their control—the foreign press, and the
journals which they cannot corrupt.
" The most remarkable occurrence of the last few
days is the- Carlist conspiracy, which is complex
and difficult to 'be understood. Some refuse to
believe in it. Others exaggerate it It is, in point
of fact, an Absolutist conspiracy, and the cons -pi
rktors have been at- work for some time past to
prepare the way for a rising-to the cry of " Viva El
-Rey Absolute." The clerical party has a good deal
to ehe with it. You will at-once divine, without my
telling you, who is the head of it. When once the
- cry is raised, we will then speak of satisfying pub-
lic opinion, so unectistakeably manifeqted, by
re-establishing an absolute government, of.
course with all its consequences. It is asserted,
moreover, that several millions of reels, which
disappeared from the palace, have been dis-
tributed for ithat object. I can, guarantee the
aecuracy of the statement, but it is said that the
abstraction of the money has given occasion to grave
scenes in the Palace. The Ministry, who are in.
very bad odour at the Palace, got some hints of
the conspiracy, and resolved to turn it to account
nine Cellists were arrested but they were men of
to importance, political or peisonah'but, such as
they were, were liberated the next day. -Others
wore again, taken up, but these also were set free
after erne day's imprisonment. The conspiracy is
not Carlist, but Absolutist ; it will continue, it is
nor, put an end to, and cannot be, so long as the
Policy of the Government undergoes no modifi-
cation."
A letter froth Milan, of the 17th inst, informs us
that a duel had just taken place there between a
native of that city and an Aastrian officer. The
officer had been introduced to the civilian at the
aouse of a Milanese family, and consequently con-
sidered that he was authorized to salute the other
when he met him in the street. The young man,
however told the officer that he could not salute an
Austrian. A discussion ensued, which ended in a
hostile meeting. The duel was fought with pistols,
and fortunately neither party was injured.
A letter from Naples of the 12th inst. says that
the political situation remains unchanged, and that
the intentions of the Ring are shrouded in mystery.
The result of the elections in England had been
received with great pleasure by the people, as it

was considered that Lord Palmerston, being more
oOWerfill, would have more liberty of action. The
' preparations for the fitting out the frigates in,-
tended for the transportation of the political
prisoners to South America had been suspended,
but the cause had not transpired. Great anxiety
existed as to the fate of the unfortunate victims
who crowd the State prisons.
The report of the Commission appointed by the
Sardinian Chamber of Deputies to examine the
draught of the bill presented by the Minister of
Marine for transferring the naval arsenal from
Genoa to La Spezzia had. been laid before the
house. The report declares the Commissioners to

Accounts from Cattaro, of the 3rd instant, an-
nounce that a letter had been received in the
capital of Montenegro, from Prince Daniel, in
Parie, which had been read to the people from a
window in the senate aistaidst the firing of cannon
This letter apprised.the people of the safe arrival of
Prince Daniel, and of the favourable reception he
had met with from the Emperor. The Prince then
commands that his uncle George and his family
shall be banished from Montenegro, and their pro
perties confiscated in consequence of their seditious
acts. He promises on his oath to act only for the
interests of the country, and that he will return
towards the middle of nett month: He desires
that if he returns by AntiVari) in Turkish Albania,
he may be received With rejoicings, but if by
Cattaro no notice is to be taken. After the .letter
Was read, the senator Guzze, with seine guards,
proceeded to Regosch to enforce the exile of the
unfortunate family and to confiscate their pro-
perty. The scene was heartrending. The exiles
are dispersed about Cattaro: It is believed that
the Austrian Government Will aitord. them an

THE STATE OF NAPLES.

NAPLES, APRIL 13.

The Government of the Two Sicilies has at
length met the accusation of torture which
has recently been brought against it in
foreign journals. The Official Journal of
Sicily, of the Bth of April ' has a long ar-
ticle denying the accusation, and several copies
of this number have been seat by Signor Carafa,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs,, to each of
the Elireign Ministers. By favour of one of them, I
have a copy before me. The defence appears to
me to be weak and insufficient, and may be summed
up thus :—" The prisoners did not make any revela-
tion of their sufferings on trial ! Torture, if possible,
would have been unnecessary for the purposes of
justice. Giuseppe Lo Re, one of the persons said to
be tortured, on being questioned by three foreigners
in prison, had nothing but praises to lavish on his
treatment." Such is the character of the defence
sot up, and I do not think it merits any further
analysis. As to the particular instance of torture
now under discussion, I have not spoken of it,
because I have not been in a position to collect
any evidence on the subject; but, after much and
varied inquiry among all ranks and classes of
men, I have come to the painful conclusion
that torture, in the proper sense of the term, is
practised in the Two Sicilies. I would not willingly
belie any man, much more the government of a
country, and it is an evidence of my caution that
I expressed my doubts as to the application of
torture to Agesilao Milano ; but those doubts no
longer exist, and the subject is now being
brought before the world in so striking a manner
that it is impossible to be silent. I
