to the ship-builders throughout the country. This
conduct of t he Government is all in keeping with their
refusing to give any protection to the Sea Queen.
Great excitement has been produced in Liverpool,
by this vessel being " exchequered," since it is
obvious that the most disastrous results will ensue
if the system be maintained. Workmen will, of
course, be discharged, and hence a considerable
addition will be made to the number of hands now
out of employ, and the distress and suffering among
the working classes will be greatly increased.
Mr. HORSFALL is to bring the question before
Parliament on Friday, when it is to be hoped that
a full and searching inquiry will be made into the
whole affair. It has been rumoured, indeed, that it
is intended to put off the consideration of the
charges against Messrs. MILLER, the builders of
the Alexandra, so that in the event of the subject
being discussed on Friday the particulars will not
be known. Such a subterfuge will not avail, how-
ever; for if this trifling with the interests, and in-
tcrference with the rights, of our subjects go on
much longer the general feeling of the country will
be roused to such a pitch of excitement that the
Government will have cause to regret their vain
endeavours. It is as absurd as it is unfair
to persist in favouring the Federals in
this manner, and Lord RUSSELL cannot
fall back on the argument of neutrality, since the
Americans never respect our flag as that of a neu-
tral power, but are as insolent as it suits their pur-
pose to be. The plain facts of the case, as repre-
sented to us by our Foreign Secretary, are virtually
these :—We are to bear all the disadvantages of a
neutral nation at home, and see our workmen out
of employ, our manuafacturers idle, and our general
trade depressed, while on the seas we can claim no
immunity from that position, since Admiral WILKEs
and his friends are to.expose us to the annoyances
and losses of war, without our having any power
to redress such grievances. It is high time that
such anomalies were put a stop to, and before the
session is any older let the case be seriously con-
sidered. It was supposed last year that we had
suffered enough from the disastrous war in America,
but we are now to learn that there is reserved for
us the insult of having our vessels searched, and the
mortification of finding that our own Government,
instead of being prompt to defend our honour, is
taking part against us in the most inconsistent and
unjustifiable manner.

GREECE FOR PRINCE WILLIAM.

nounces that Prince Christian has had a long inter-

ROME.
ROME, APRIL 21, Evening.

The Osseruatore Fontano of to-day publishes a
semi-official article stating that although some of
the documents in the case of Signor Venanzi have
been purloined, the evidence against the prisoner is
not weakenzd thereby, and the judicial inquiry is
far from being stopped. The Court of Justice en-
tru3ted with this affair has discovered that conspi-
racies have been organised at Turin against the
Pontifical Government, and the culpability of the
accused is placed beyond a doubt.

The article adds that the documents which re
main in possession of the authorities are fully suffi
cient for the condemnation of the guilty parties.

The Commercial Navigation Company of India is
an undertaking recently formed, and of consider-
able importance, as it is about to enter upon a field
of enterprise the success of which is not altogether
untried. Its object is to supply the rivers of India,
with an efficient transport service for the convey-
ance of merchandise, &c. Provisional arrange-
ments have been made by the directors for the
purchase of the vessels, one steamer and two
barges, belonging to the East India Steam Na-
vigation Company, at a cost of £15,000 in cash
and £13,000 in stock, which is not to be en•
titled to possess an interest in the dividends
until 10 per cent. in one year shall have been
paid upon the ordinary shares. Operations are
to be restricted in the first instance to the
Ganges, and it is stated that the boats at present
on that river, excepting the one now the property
of the new company, are incapable of carrying the
traffic to Allahabad during the dry season, in con-
sequence of their excessive draught of water. The
directors are encouraged to hope for a great improve-
ment to the general trade of India from the desire
manifested by the English Government and manu-
facturers to foster the growth and development of
cotton. The dividends paid by similar institutions,
particularly those by the India General Steam Na-
vigation Company, are cited as affording abundant
evidence of the soundness and remunerative charac-
ter of the enterprise. The nominal capital of the
company is at £300,000, one half of which, in £5O
shares, is to comprise the first issue. Notice has been
given by the directors that the share list will be
closed on Thursday, the 30th inst.
The Chattillonnais states that a quantity of
ancient arms and numerous Gallic coins, bearing
the names of native chiefs in their own language, have just
been found at Aliac-St. 'Rein', (Cote d'Or), the Alesia of
the Romans, which was destroyed by Julius Cassar. These
coins were evidently struck before the Conquest, as on those
subsequent to that event the Gallic names are all Latinised•
