dogs Tear'em. It is not alone even that the old
proverbial test, noscitur a sociis, is being applied
by the Opposition, very inconveniently indeed, to a
subordinate member of the Government, it is true,
but one who happens to be brought very unplea-
santly into prominence before the House
of Commons by the circumstance of his
being an intimate personal friend of M.
MAzzirri, and yet, though notoriously, this intimate
personal friend of M. MAzzINI, night after night, in
the House of Commons, on the front Treasury Bench,
cheek-by-jowl with the Premier, Lord PALMER-
STON. It is not, in a word, a question that id asked,
or an assertion that is thrown out, or a covert indica-
tion of doubt, by any individual Englishman, as to
Mr. STANSFELD'S doings or sayings, as the friend of
the arch conspirator, MAZZINI—that MAZZINI, who
h known for certain to have given 1,000 franca and
a lapis lazuli dagger to the assassin GALLENGA, in
order that the latter might murder the late King,
CHARLES ALBERT of Sardinia! It is—that direct,
explicit, categorical statements are put forth by
two successive Procureurs In:penal against this
Mr. JAMES STANSFELD, brewer, of London, now
M.P., for Halifax, and Junior Lord of the Admi-

ralty.
So far as the statements made by the late Pro-
cureur Imperial have been examined into, it has
been made quite plain to the comprehension of
every one that that functionary was simply
recounting actual (and now fully admitted) facts
when he spoke of letters being sent through the post
office to M. MAzzINI under the name of Fiore, or
Fleur, or Flower, just as the preconcerted pseudonym
happens to be expressed in English, French, or
Italian—sent under cover of this nom—we can't say
de guerre, bat we may at any rate say de conspiration

—whither P To Mr. JAMES STANSFELD'S private ad-
dress, to wit, to No. 35, Thurloe-square, Brompton,
S. W. So much for the late Procureur Imperial's
statement, a statement that has so far been clearly
made good. Now for the new statements just very
recently put forth by that functionary's successor,
the present Procureur' Imperial—statements also
directed against that Mr. JAMES STANSFELD who is

at once the intimate friend of M. MAZZINI and the

cordially championed colleague of Lord PALMER-
STON. The Procurenr-General of to-day then be
it remarked, refers distinctly and in detail to Mr.
STANSFELD'S connection with M. MAZZINI not in
reference to any proceedings connected with the
inquiry into the GRECO conspiracy of assassination,
but in connection with the inquiries formerly set
afoot into the earlier TIBALDI conspiracy of assa-
sination. What says now the present Procureur.
Imperial in regard to that matter ? " When" says
this responsible functionary in his speech in one
of his country's courts of law a very few days back

at Paris—
" When, in 1857, TIBALDI and several other Italians
appeared before this Court of Assizes, accused of a plot
against the life of the EMPEROR, they had BIAZZINI for
their accomplice; a complete investigation had clearly
domonstrated that TIBALDI, the organiser at Paris of the
plot formed abroad, and the possessor of arms prepared
for the execution of the crime, was himself merely the
instrument of MAZZINI. To the circumstantial details

given on that head by the prisoners GRILLI and BAR-
TOLOTTI, was added the still more decisive proof derived
from the correspondence seized. Saveral documents
written by MAzzINI, which have been already read in this
court, and which we reproduce now, contained, under
date of 10th June, instructions at once precise and cau-

tiously drawn up, given to MASSARENTI and CAMPANELLA
by the real chief of the conspiracy. MAZZINI INDICATED TO
THE CONSPIRATORS THE TWO PRINCIPAL CENTRES OF

ACTION : AT PARIS, THE RESIDENCE OF TIBALDI ; AT
LONDON, THE HOUSE OF JAILES STANSFELD AND HIS

WIFE, WHAM HE DESIGNATED AS • JAMES, THE FRIEND
AT THE BREWERY,' AND CAROLINE.' It expressly re-
sulted from these papers that the two men most recently
admitted into the plot would find the requisite funds at
STANSFELD'S, and directions and arms at TIBALDI'S. At
the same time two letters, also seized during the investiga-
tion, ADDRESSED TO MAZZINI, SIGNED CAROLINE (THE
BAPTISMAL NAME OF MRS. STANSFELD), AND BEARING

THE POST MARK OF WALHAM-GREEN, THE QUARTER

WHERE STA.NSFELD'S BREWERY IS SITUATED, con-
tained, along with private matters which left no doubt as
to the origin of the letters, the fallowing passages; the
first, on the 16th of June, said I have received your
dear and anxious note by Mr. NATHAN, who brought it
himself ? The second, of the 19th June, began with these
words I HAVE RECEIVED THE MONEY, AND JAMES

WILL, 01 COURSE, CARRY OUT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS,

MRS. STANSFELD WROTE THUS IN REPLY TO A LETTER
FROM MAZZINI, dated 11th, containing a remittance, the
forwarding of which was announced by a letter from the
same, dated the 10th, which was also seized, and is included
among the written evidence. Lastly, IN TIBALDI'S os •
SESSION WAS FOUND A MEMORANDUM BOOK CONTAINING

THE ADDRESS OF THE BREWER, JAMES STANSFELD, AND
HE CONFESSED THAT WHEN IN LONDON HE HAD BEEN

IN COMMUNICATION WITH THAT INTIMATE FRIEND OF
MAZZINI. Your high jurisdiction regarded MAZZINT'S
guilt as judicially proved, and the sentence of transporta-
tion was pronounced against him by default."
Again—

" In December, 1853, a manlamed DONATI was arrested
at Paris on a charge of plotting against the EMPEROR's life.
Overwhelmed by the evidence against him, he confessed his
criminal design, and after having attempted to maintain
that he had not received instructions from any one, he was
obliged to acknowledge whose instigation ho had obeyed.

RENDEZVOUS AT STANSFELD'S BREWERY, AND A CONVER-
