LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1864,

About Mr. STANSFELD, M.P. for Halifax, Junior
Lord of the Treasury, "Minister of the Crown,"
as he ostentatiously calls himself, we must surely
hear a little more in the House of Commons imme-
diately after the renewal of the sittings of Parlia-
ment on Tuesday. It is quite impossible that the
matter should rest where it is. The scandal with
which this Minister of the Crown's name has come
to be identified, not only notoriously here in Eng-
land, but notoriously all over Europe, cannot be
glossed over. Its offence—like that of the King in
,‘ Hamlet"--is rank and smells to heaven. It
won't serve Mr. STANSFELD'S purpose, or Mr.
LAYARD.S, or Lord PALMERSTON'S, or the Govern-
ment's to attempt again riding off, as the phrase is,
on the high horse !
The whole transaction is
too flagrant, too sombre, too un-English
as our national instinct of pride induces us idioma-
tically to express it—to allow of Mr, STANSFELD,
or ef ir. LAYARD, or of Lord PALMERSTON, or of
any Minister of the present Government, either
one as important es the Prime Minister, or one as
insignificant as a Junior Lord of the Admiralty, to
pass it by contemptuously, after the fashion of fire-
eating Sir LUCIUS UTRIGGER when he turns upon
his heal from that most degenerate of country
squires and country bumpkins, 808 ACRES, with a
" Pooh, pooh ! ye're beneath my notice !" It is not
simply Mr, Cox, of Finsbury, asking an awkward
question of the gentleman who lives at 35, Thurloe-
square, Brcronton, S.W., the very gentleman wile
site o' nights on the Treasury Bench in the House of
Commons actually rubbing elbows with the Prime
linistee ofEngland,Viscount PALMERSTON, ItiS not
simply that the occupants of that bench are being
disturbed during their evening slumbers, through
all the dullereintervals of the debates, by the yelp-
ing and snarling of that fretfuliest of little watch-

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,
bat one who happens to be brought very unplea-

srintly into prominence before the House
of Commons by the circumstance of his
being an intimate personal friend of M.
MAZZINI, 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 is 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 fiend of
the arch conspirator, MAZZINI—that 3lizzlNl, who
is known for certain to have given 1,000 francs 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 imperial against this
Mr. ',TAMES 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, but we may at any rate say de conspiration

—whither ? To Mr. JAMES STANSFELD'S private ad-
dress, to wit, to No. 35, Thurloe-square, Brompton,
S.W. So much for the late Procureur
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
ccrlially championed colleague of Lord 12ALMER-
STON. The Procureur-General of to-day then be
it rzmarked, 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,
bat in connection with the inquiries formerly set
afoot into the earlier T18.3,LD1 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 MAZZINI for
their accomplice ; a complete investigation had clearly
demonstrated 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. Several 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 MASSA.RENTI and CAMPANELLA
by the real chief of the conspiracy. MAZZINI INDICATED TO
THE CONSPIRATORS THE TWO PRINCIPAL CENTRES OF

ACTION AT PARIS, TILE RESIDENCE OF TIBALDI; AT
LONDON, THE HOUSE OF JAMES STANSFELD AND HIS

WIFE,,WHOM 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 DEARING
THE POST MARE OF `VALHAM•GREEN, THE QUARTER

WHERE STANSFELVS BREWERY IS SITUATED, con-
tained, along with private matters which left no doubt as
to the origin of the letters, the following 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, OF COURSE, CARRY OUT YOUR INSTRUCTIONS

MRS, STANSPELD WROTE THUS IN REPLY TO A LETTER
PROM 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 POS-
SESSION WAS POUND A MEMORANDUM BOOK CONTAINING

THE ADDRESS OP THE BREWER, JAMES STANSFELD, AND

HE CONFESSED THAT WHEN IN LONDON HE HAD BEEN

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

"In December, 1853, a man named DorATI 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 he had obeyed.
IN THE COURSE OF MAY MAZZINI HAD GIVEN HIM A

RENDEZVOUS AT ETANSFELD.S BREWERY, AND A CONYER •

SATION THERE TOOK. PLACE ON THE PROJECTED ATTEMPT,

AND ON THE TIME AND PLACE -WHERE THE CRIME MIGHT

BE MOST EASILY CONSUMMATED. A FEW DAYS LATER, AT

THE SAME PLAGE, THE PLOT RECEIVED ITS DEFINITIVE
ORGANISATION. D °NATI committed suicide in prison in
January, 1859, thus giving a ead guarantee of the sincerity
of his revelations."

And, to conclude, or as the Procureur•lmperial him-
self expressed it a Lw hours ego in one of the inu-
perial courts of law at Paris—

" Lastly, in the late trial, M. MAZZINI again appeared,
choosing among his confederates the conspirator whom be
considered possessed of most energy, giving him in May,
1863, instructions to address his letters for London to
ROSSELLY, 58, Myddelton-square, the residence of the
banker NATHAN, drawing up with his own hand a detailed
note, which was, as it were, the vocabulary of the plot ;
then, in September, 1863, resuming the enterprise after a
momentary suspension, giving again, in his own hand, the
new address, FLOWER, 35, Thurloe-square, which is the
residence of STANSFELD, directing the choice of the inti-
mates whom GRECO was to accept as accomplices ; sending
arms, and lastly, procuring, through the medium of
NATHAN whom you already know, the money which was
to facilitate the flight of the assassins after the attempt.
Such are the facto which it is important that you and the
world should know."

All these statements are put very plainly indeed,
are put pointblank, without the smallest attempt
at insinuation merely, or circumlocution. It is
dne to the Ilonse of Commons, it is due to the honour
of her MAJESTY'S Government, it is due to the
Nation and to the Sovereign, that they should b©
at once disproved— that they should be at once
demonstrated to be untrue--or—Mr. JAMES STANS-
FELD ought at once, before the meeting of Parlia•
ment, to send in his resignation.

The Financial Reform Association is a very ex-
cellent institution, and its annual meeting, which
was held in Liverpool last Wednesday, suggests
some topics for reflection and comment. The
report of the Secretary declared that "very little
legislative progress had been made towards the
accomplishment of any ono of its three objects—
economical government, just taxation, and real
freedom of trade." It is certainly not because these
things are not needed, that they are not effected,
for a survey, however simple, of the aspect of our
public and political affairs will convince the ob-
server how much there is that ought to be done in
the way of retrenchment and drawin; in. Needless
expenses are incurred, immense sums are wasted,
