THE MADIAIS.-THE .OFFICIAL CORRES-
PONDENCE.

The official correspondence in reference to the case of
the Madiai having been laid before Parliament, we select
from the documents the following important letters, in
reply to the dispatch of Lord John Russell, which has
been already published :

No. 34,

MR. ERSKINE TO LORD JdEIN RUSSELL. --(RECEIVED FEB. 4.)
"Florence, Jan. 27, 1853.

•
"My Lord,—Your lordship's dispatch to Sir Henry.
Bulwer, of the 18th inst. reached Florence, by messen-
ger Drury, on the 24th.
" On the following day I called on the Tuscan Minister
for Foreign Affairs, and explained to him, as nearly as
possible in the words used by your lordship, the views
entertained by her Majesty's Government with respectto
the continued imprisonment of the Madiais ; requesting
that his excellency would impress upon the Grand Duke
of Tuscany the cruelty and impolicy of persisting in a
course which is calculated to weaken the mental faculties,
if not to shorten the days, of those unfortunate prisoners.
" The Duke of Casigliano repeatedly interrupted the
communication it was my duty to make to him, and de-
sired that I would state to your lordship, that although
he did not intend to dispute the Queen's right to point
out to his Sovereign the arguments which ought, in the
opinion of her Majesty, to prevent the adoption of rigor-
ous penal measures against offences relating to religious
opinions, such arguments or advice must be received un-
officially (officieusement). The Grand Ducal Govern-
ment would protest, not only against anything like in-
tervention by force of arms, but even against the right
of her Majesty's Government to tender its advice in such
a shape as could be construed as an attempt at moral
pressure.
"Even such communications as the present he deemed
highly injudicious, as tending to keep alive in the mind
of his Imperial and Royal Highness the impression left
by the interference of the Earl of Roden's deputation.
" The Duke of Casigliano denied, most emphatically,
that any analogy exists between the moral torture de-
scribed by your lordship as a species of capital punish-
ment, and the mild form of imprisonment which the
Madiais are now undergoing ; as his excellency asserts
that the prison discipline of this country is notoriously
as humane and enlightened as,any on the Continent.
"These persons were not, as is alleged, convicted of
having apostatised from the established religion, but of
having sought to seduce others from that religion—a
crime punishable by law. ,
"His excellency and his colleagues had spared no
effort to induce the Grand. Duke to exercise the Royal
prerogative of mercy ; but his Imperial and Royal High-
ness would make no promise as to the exact period at
which he should see fit to commute the sentence of the
tribunal. 'As a friend,'. he added, will tell you
frankly, that the more this question is agitated from
abroad the less chance is there of an early liberation of
the Madiais.'
"The Duke of Casigliano took advantage of this op-
portunity to allude, in a, pointed manner, to a very
similar trial, which has recently taken place in Sardinia,
in ,which a person named Mazzinghi was found guilty
and Sentenced to three years' imprisonment, adding that
her • Majesty's Government., would, doubtless, offer the
Same advice at Turin as was given here.
From the whole tenor of, his excellency's conversa-
tion there. is, I fear, but little reason to hope for the im-
mediate release of the unfortunate persons in whose fate
her Majesty's Government and the British public have
exhibited so warm an interest.
"The Grank Duke is now absent, and will not return
to Florence for some dayi. I shall not, therefore, be
able to report to your lordship by this messenger the
effect produced on the Royal mind by the advice I was
instructed to tender in ,the name of her Majesty's Govern-
ment.
, " early next month I shall, however, report to your
lordship; by the regular messenger, how this advice has
been'recelyed by his Imperial and Royal Highness.
(Signed) " E. M. ERSKINE."

MR. ERSKINE TO, LORD_ JOHNIiVSSELL..---(RECEIVED

(Extract.) . " Florence, Jan, 27, .1853.
" I think it, my duty to state ta,youir ,lordship, with
reference to one expression in your dispatch, to Sir Henry
Bulwer of the 18th instant, namely an unhealthy
prison,' that I am informed by Mr. Chapman, an En-
glish gentleman, who has interested himself most warmly
in favour of the Madiais, and who is permitted to visit
them occasionally in prison, that he has no fault to find
with the treatment either of Francesco Maidiai or of his
wife. _ . .

VW •.“.•
"The former, as your lordship is aware, is now con-
fined in the prison at Volterra, in a healthy situation at
the top of a high hill ; and Mr. Chapman assures me
that the infirmary in which he is lodged is in every re-
spect as comfortable as any well-regulated hospital for
persons at large.
" Mr. Chapman is equally satisfied with the atten-
tion bestowed on the physical wants .of Rosa Madiai at
Lucca.

"Although this circumstance does not in any way
affect your lordship's arguments as to the moral torture
inflicted on sensitive minds by protracted imprisonment,
I venture to mention it, as the expression unhealthy'
might be laid hold of by the Tuscan Government, with
the view of diverting attention from a real to an imagi-

•
nary wrong.
" I may add, that the Duke of Casigliano requested
me to state to your lordship that the most satisfactory
accounts were received yesterday from Volterra of Fran-
cesco Madiai's health ; accounts, however, which are
not borne out by Mr. Chaptnan, in so far as relates to
the mental condition of this unfortunate person."

No. 36.
MR. ERSKINE TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—(RECEIVED

FEB. 15.)
"Florence, Feb. 5, 1853.

(Extract.)

" With reference to my dispatch of the 27th ult., I have
now the honour to report to your lordship, that on the
2d inst. I learnt from the Duke of Casigliano that he had
communicated to the Grand Duke of Tuscany the argu-
ments by which her Majesty's Government have sought
to persuade his Imperial Highness to pardon the unfor-
tunate Francesco And Rosa Madiai.
"Those arguments, I regret to say, have failed, not
only to produce conviction on the mind of his Imperial
Highness, but they have tended, if possible, to confirm
him in his original resolve to do nothing in this matter
until such time as he shall be left to the unfettered use
of his own discretion.
" The only point on which the Grand Duke seems to
be at all alive to public opinion abroad, is the alleged
condemnation of the Madiais as Protestants. He desired
the Duke of Casigliano again to contradict this notion,
and to assure her Majesty's Government that they were
punished solely because they attempted to convert
Roman Catholies.to their own belief.
" I ventured to state to his excellency that it would be
difficult for your lordship to attach any credence to this
assertion, while it was notorious that the prisoners were
not allowed to receive the Sacrament according to the
rites of their religion. His excellency could find no bet-
ter reply to this objection than that in the public hospi-
tals that permission was granted to Protestants as a
matter of course ; but that the prison discipline forbade
such an indulgence to criminals.

GREAT SNOW STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE

The recent severe weather, which has continued for
nearly a week with all the intensity of an extremely cold
winter, has not been equalled, at least in this country,
for many years. The wind still prevails from the piercing
quarter of N.N.E., and there is every indication of the
frost continuing with increased severity. In the course
of Saturday accounts were received at the General Post-
office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, of a very heavy fall of snow
having taken place on Thursday evening and Friday
morning in almost all part of the country, which ren-
dered many of the important lines of railway perfectly
impassable. The mail trains were blocked up, and in
several instances they were not extricated for 12 or more
hours, and even then the bags had to be conveyed by
cross-roads to their, destination. Scarcely a county
seems to have escaped the storm, and in may places
where the snow has drifted its depth is enormous, such
as cuttings and cross-roads, to the extent of some twenty
feet. In the northern districts the storm was accom-
panied by thunder and lightning, while the aurora borea-
lis shone luminously in the heavens, all prognosticating
more severe weather. The fall on Thursday visited the
counties bordering on the eastern and northern coast to
such an extent as to cause an obstruction to all traffic.
Stretching from Essex through Stiffolk, Norfolk, Lin-
colnshire, Yorkshire, Durham, Northumberland, &c., the
snow came down in a general mass. Communications
with villages were cut off, and much mischief arose.
In the vicinity of Norwich, the fall was very considera-
ble ; and snow lay in the streets several feet in depth,
and the mail train, which should have reached
that city from London at half-past two on Friday morn-
ing, did not arrive till late in the afternoon,
more than twelve hours behind its time. It appears
that the snow drifted on the Eastern Counties line, in
the neighbourhood of Bandon, to a great depth. After
numerous efforts to get along, the engine was brought
to a complete block, the carriages being embedded al-
most half their height in the drift. In this position the
train could not proceed for many hours. Gangs of navi-
gators were procured as soon as possible to cut a pas-
sage and it was only after the above detention that the
mail could proceed. The inhabitants of the fen country
are in a most distressing condition. The ground is
covered with several feet of snow, which obscuring the
tracks to the main roads, renders an attempt to travel
very dangerous. A respectable baker, named George
Lamb, living at Whittlesey, lost his life in that way.
He mistook his road, and fell into a river with his horse
and cart, and was drowned. Several vessels were lost
off Wisbeach during the snow storm. They were un-
able to distinguish the bearings, and went ashore and
were wrecked.

Throughout Lincolnshire and far extending into the
Midland Counties, the snow appears to have fallen
heavily, and, as in other parts, the railways and cross
roads were for a time impassable. Further northward
the fall seems to have been more severe, and all commu-
nication with York by means of its various railways was
discovered on Friday morning to be blocked up by huge
driftings of snow. The mail train, which should leave
that city for London at two, did not get away until
eight o'clock, and even then could make but small pro-
gress. Numerous gangs of men were employed in clear-
ing the lines, and much inconvenience was occasioned to
the traffic.

The Hull and Scarborough line and the Market Weigh-
ton line were rendered impassable. Towards Durham
the weather was, if anything, worse, and great inconve-
nience has been experienced in the neighbourhood.
Some of the trains near Newcastle required four or five
engines to get them along. Should the frost continue
the numerous fleet of colliers in the Lyne will be frozen
in. From all parts of the country similar accounts have
been received. The intelligence from the French coast
announces the snow to be falling fast, and the line of
railway from Calais to Boulogne to be much obstructed.

LITERATURE.

MR. WARREN'S NEW WORK.

The Intellectual and Moral Development of the
Present Age. By Samuel Warren, F.R.S.
Blackwood and Sons.

A cordial welcome is due to this noble little vo-
lume, elevatinc, the mind of every attentive reader,
as it cannot to do, by lifting up his heart to
the loftiest regions of contemplation. Its text zs
the Sursurn Gorda of the Christian Philosopher.
Brief though the dissertation is, its brevity results
neither from a paucity of ideas, nor from a narrow-
ness of purpose, but from its laborious and really
masterly condensation. Compressed within a fecr
pages, the essay here presented to the public con-
stitutes, in fact, if we may so express it, a veritable
microcosm. It appears under no pretentious cha-
racter—comiag to us simply as the reprint of a lec-
ture delivered before the Hull Literary and Phi-
losophical Society on the evening of Tues-
day, the 28th of last December. How Mn.
Warren oame to deliver that lecture may be
very readily understood, bearing in recollection the
judicial functions now exercised by him in that
ancient borough, and the very natural desire ex-
pressed by those who may be called the intellectual
representatives of the local population, that they
might in this manner become more intimately ac-
quainted with one whose name had been so long
and deservedly distinguished in, our popular litera-
-1 ture. October witnessed the transmission of this

request, and Decembe; itslfulfamen.t. Permitted
to select his own subject, Mr. Warren chose that
very splendid one which is expressed upon the title
page of the book now submitted to• miscellaneous

criticism, and by defining " The Intellectual and
Moral Development of the Present Age," evidenced
his interest in the progress of civilisatiox, and his
homage for the divine and beautiful truths of
Christianity. It is because we have mot failed to
recognise the scope of this thoughtful and compre-
hensive dissertation, that we have designated by a
rather arresting title, what was at first nothing
more than a lecture delivered in a provincial town
before the members of a literary institution. We
have acted thus, therefore, advisedly. We have
spoken of the brief essay before us in regard to the
present age in its moral and intellectual develop-
ment as a new work from the hand of an old fa-

vourite—because, we perceive in it an achievement
honourable to him at once as a lover of nature,
and as a worshipper of the Divinity—an effusion,
consequently, that cannot do otherwise than mate-

rially enhance his already large and ripened repu-
tation. Honestly we take this essay to be quite
as much of an achievement as the delineation of au

astute intellect, like that of Oily Gammon,

or of a gentle heart like that of Kate
Aubrey—quite as much, indeed, as the pen-
ning a masterpiece of fiction like " Ten Thou-
sand a Year," or of enthralling and impassioned
narratives like those collected together in the
" Diary of a Late Physician." Admiring those
two very admirable works with the warmth of an

earnest apprecia#on„ we nevertheless do not hesi-

tate to speik thusof what, if size alone be considered,
must, when taken into comparison, appears a very
trivial performance. Inferior, however, though it
may be in mere dimensions, it will be found on
perusal to be loftier in its purpose, profounder in
its reason, and to a considerable extent too, let us
add, more daring and ambitious in its character.
Within the comparatively brief interval elapsing
between the commencement of the _ perusal

of this essay and its conclusion, the stu-
dent will find that our author has traversed

almost every one of the various departments of
human learning. Herein he may be said to have
sounded the whole gamut of knowledge—from its
diapason upwards—and always, no matter what may
be the theme of his inquiries, with a reverent sense
of the awful beauty of creation, and of the inscrut-
able and ineffable mystery of Omnipotence. It is
impossible, we believe, for any thoughtful man to
read these few pages without feeling better under
an influence at once so very humbling and so very
elevating. From the few words of his " Preface"
we learn on Mr. Warren's own assurance, that the
paper there subjoined "treats of subjects which
have occupied his thoughts for many years"--
though the work itself, we conceive, might have
rendered such an intimation superfluous. Se re-
lates a variety of topics that might have bewildered
any man who had not for a very considerable period
' meditated upon their relation to each other, and

upon their natural and symmetrical, though neither
obvious nor easily discoverable arrangement. As
lecturer to a popular audience, Mr. Warren thus
pleasantly introduced his argument to their con-
sideration—remarking, after a few preliminary and
appropriate allusions to the season, then imme-
diately associated with the festivities of Christ-

This was an action for breach of promise of marriage,
the damages being laid at 20,0001. Mr. James, Q.C.,
and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins were specially retained in the
case ; the former, with Mr. Campbell Foster, being for
the plaintiff, and the latter, with Mr. Cowling and Mr.
Segar, for the defendant.
The defendant pleaded that he did not agree to marry
the plaintiff as alleged.
Mr. James opened the case in a lengthy address ; and
after the examination of ore witness for the plaintiff, an
arrangement was effected between the parties, and a
juror was withdrawn, thus closing the case.
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins intimated that, as far as re-
garded the conduct of Mr. Cole in his own house, he
was prepared to produce, if they were required, such
memorials of his correctness and of the religious and
moral regulations which there prevailed, as very few
gentlemen could produce, and those, too, from the
mouths of disinterested parties. In this case they had
only heard one side, and although Mr. Cole recognised
the maxim that " discretion is the better part of valour,"
he left the court, feeling in his own conscience that he
had violated no law, either of his country or of morality.
INDICTMENT FOR ASSAULT.
Thomas Butler Cole (the defendant in the above case),
John Slater, and George Simpson, were then arraigned
on a charge of assaulting Jane Agnes Robertson, on the
gth of August last. They pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Foster said: it was not intended to offer any evi-
dence on the part of the prosecution, the circumstances
forming part of an arrangement which had been entered
into in the previous case.
A verdict of not guilty was therefore recorded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Pierre Brostin, described as a
military officer, and Jacques Annet, linguist, of No. 17,
Shaftesbury-crescent, Pimlico, were brought before the
Lord Mayor under the following circumstances :
Mr. Abraham Bauer, of Leadenhall-street, said—l
am a registered London banker, and know the prisoner
Brostin. He first introduced himself to me at Christ-
mas last. He brought the bill I produce for 5,000 f.
with him to me to discount. I declined to discount it
as be was not known to me. He then desired me to
make inquiry, and I did so. Afterwards he called at
174 premises several times, and said ho was in great
want of cash, and wished me to make an advance of
money upon the bill ; and he finally induced me to ad-
vance him 401,. for which amount he drew the cheque
produced upon my house, and I gave him the money on
account of the 5,000 francs bill, purporting to be drawd
by G. Mahieu upon, and accepted by, G. Lamache. It
purports to be drawn at Cherbourg. I paid him the 401.
in sovereigns. At the time he asked me to discount the
bill he said he was a landed proprietor, and that he had
got it from Mr. Mahieu, the drawer, for property which
that gentleman had sold' on his account. I have reason
to know that the acceptor and drawer have, upon being
Written to, stated that the bilLis a *nary. • Th 6 prisoner Brostin here said, that the bill was not
a forged bill, and that a person from Cherbourg had sent
it to him. He did not, he said, know that he had any
question to put to Mr. Bauer, or to say anything except
to assure him that the bill was genuine.
"aur.Ernest Seyed, managing Clerk to Messrs Mon-
Brothers, of Cornhill; bullion merchants, said
—The prisoner Brostin called yesterday afternoon,
at half-past three o'clock, with two foreign bills of
exchange,drawnby forj. oaoboi francs each, each, purporting to be
La-
mach, and endorsed baccepted by G.
name on the bills i 11.1.na.hie Brostin endorsed his
nymy presence. He said he was a
stranger, and had just arrived from France, and that he
wanted money for these bills. I had seen a similar bill
before, and I told hini to call again in half an hour, and
I would make the necessary inquiries. He left-me, and
I went to Mr. Bauer, and he showed me the bill he,
had,
wbach confirmed the suspicion I entertained. I also
communicated with Mr. Scholar, the manager of Messrs.
ifonteaux's house. The prisoner returned to the office
in due time, and I pretended to make out the account,
and he endorsed the bills. The officer who was sent for
upon the occasion then took him in charge. I Was
re-
sent when he was searched. I believe the bills to be
decidedly forged instruments. The prisoner said, "The
same person who sent me the bill which Mr. Bauer has,
also sent me those two bills, and I am persuaded that
they are both genuine."
Jam es Spittle (of the City detective police), said—At
a quarter to 6 o'clock last evening I was sent for to
Messrs, Monteaux, Brothers, of Corolla When I ar-
rived there I saw Brostin in conversation with Mr.
Schuloff. Five minutes afterwards Mr. Schuloff di-
rected me to take Brostin into custody upon the charge
of uttering two forged bills of exchange, each for 5,000
francs. I told the prisoner that he must come with me
to the station-house.. He said that he wished first to
go to Mr. Bauer to pay 401. which he owed to that
gentleman. I told him I could not allow him to go.
He then said he wishes.' to meet a friend near the Mono-
Ment, who was waiting for him. I then put him into a
cab, and, accompanied by another officer and Mr.
80Yed, we drove to the Mitre Tavern, by Brostin's di-
Brostin went into the parlour of the tavern,

them both to the station and searched them.

The inquest on the body was held on Saturday even-
ing at the Albion Hotel, Westmoreland-street, before
Mr. Thomas Taylor, and a respectable jury, when a
lengthened inquiry took place, which resulted in a verdict
of "Wilful murder" being entered against the prisoner,
Henry Dobson, who was accordingly committed to
prison on the coroner's inquisition. The utmost excite-
ment continues to prevail in the neighbourhood. Dobson
exhibits the greatest coolness and hardihood, but was
this afternoon attempting to justify some doubts as to
his sanity by his strange freaks at the police-office. He
will be examined before the magistrates to-day.

with it.
But for those higher motives I indeed feel infinitely
obliged to you for having so generously undertaken to
vindicate my prudence and my plain but honest cha-
racter.
May be that this your chivalry will entirely dispense
me from the necessity of any further public steps in that
respect. That I shall see, and leave, in the meantime,
my ready disavowal where it is.
However, as, following the generous impulse of your
heart, you may, perhaps, feel inclined to fight on the
battle, if required, in which you so nobly engaged, I
thought it will, perhaps, be as well to state to you
some
partieulars
think an intelligent reader of that purported pro-
clamation may have at once got aware of its not being
genuine in reading it. Because to say, in one and the
same document, something to this effect, "Isend the bearer
to you, that he may inform me, who amongst you are
faithful and true, and inform you how you should organ-
ise," and-to say, in the same document, as it were with
the same breath, "Rise, strike, the moment is at hand,"
which is so much as to say, "Don't organise." This is,
indeed, too absurd a blunder in logic to be believed.
Do I then disavow the sentiments contained in that
document ? No, sir. All my life is and will be summed
up in this ideaM" My country's freedom. My country's
right." And consistently with this I am, and will remain,
an irreconcileable enemy to Francis Joseph of Austria,
who stole by perjury into my country's sacred rights,
freedom, constitution, laws, and national existence ; and,
beaten back in his criminal attack, robbed it by treason
and by foreign force, and now murders it. Yes, sir, I
avow openly these my sentiments, and trust in God that
the day of Justice and retribution will soon come. And
why should I not avow them' I am not bound to any
allegiance to Francis Joseph of Austria, not I, nor my
exiled countrymen, not our dear Hungary. He is no
lawful sovereign of Hungary. Justice is at home in
England, sir, and, therefore, I defy any man to get up a
jury, or to point out a court in all England, which would
find a verdict for Francis Joseph being a lawful sove-
reign of Hungary, or, I and my country owing him
allegiance !
Or, do I desire to be understood that I have never
written anything like the contents of that apocryphal
document! I, indeed, sir, never thought to have any
claim to the reputation of a classical authorship. Bad
as it is, sir, I have written worse things in my life, I
may have written every sentence of it, some of them at
one time, some at another, on different occasions, pro-
bably when I was a prisoner at Kutahya, for different
exigencies, all past long, past years ago ; out of which
writing the present document might have been patched
up, without my knowledge, and used on the present oc-
casion without my consent.
All this is not the question. The question, sir, is :
Have I addressed this, or whatsoever else, proclamation
from English soil for the purpose of engaging the Hun-
garian soldiers, or whomever else, in the late insurrec-
tion at Milan, or wherever else in Italy ?
That is the question. Answering to this question,
you disavowed the document as such, and pronounced
it to be a forgery. And you are perfectly right. I
neither invited, nor gave any authority to whomever to
invite the Hungarian soldiers to join in any insurrection
in Italy now. Nay, whenever I heard anything said
about the Lombardy patriots being incapable of endur-
ing longer their oppression, and that, perhaps, they
might feel inclined to break forth at any risk, I con-
demned the very idea of thinking now upon an insur-
rection in Italy, declaring that, for the present, no
revolutionary movement would succeed in Lombardy,

for shot and shell. The rifle practice was highly credit-

The defendent stated that he was applied to by a person of
the name of Brooker to take a small parcel of paper, and as
Brooker was indebted to him, ho ordered it, and it was duly
delivered, but without an invoice, and he (defendent), of
course, set it against the debt due, but six months afterwards
plaintiff sent in the present claim.
The plaintiff said that Brooker was his agent, and had no
authority to have goods, sent out on his own account.
His Honour at first said, that as there wao no privity of con-
tract made out, the name of the principal (the plaintiff) not hav-
ing been disclosed, plaintiff must be non-suited ; but on re-
ferring to the rules of court said, that the defendant ought
to have pleaded his claim as a " set off," for as it would have
held good against Brooker, it would also hold good against
the present plaintiff. Defendant, however, not having given
notice to the court, according to the rules, must pay.
Defendant asked how it was, possible to know with whom
he was dealing, and how could he be expected to know the
rules of the court ?
His Honour said, ho regretted to come to the decision
against the defendant, for on the merits and justice of the
case, he was entitled to a verdict, but the rules and practice
of the court were against him.

THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP AGAMEMNON.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE BUN.
6-411-feel obliged by your contradicting a
statement contained in your paper of the 14th inst.
You state that her Majesty's ship Agamemnon, on
her way round from Sheerness, found herself 20 miles to
the westward- of the Needles on the morning of her ar-
rival at this port. In reference to which I have to in-
form you that her Majesty's ship Agamemnon was never
to the westward of the Nab Light-vessel, Having run
her distance from Beachy Head, the ship was hove to,
with her head off shore, at 3 o'clock in the morning, and
at 7.30 we stood in, on a N.W. by N. course, and made
to Nab Light-vessel, on the lee bow.
Your remarks were, no doubt, well-intentioned, and
even flattering, if the steaming qualities of the ship are
alone considered; but as my professional character is
involved in this supposed mistake, you will, I feel con-
vinced, see the propriety of complying with my request.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE BowBR, Master,
H.M.S. Agamemnon.

TO THE HUNGARIAN SOLDIERS QUARTERED IN ITALY.
Gallant Countrymen,—lt is with indignation I learn
that on the occasion of the troubles of Feb. 6, at Milan,
an appeal has been circulated there in my name, calling
on you to join in that abortive movement.
Soldiers ! that document was not genuine. I have
not approved of an insurrection in Italy for the present
moment. I issued•no appeal calling on you to take a
part in it.
Once the time will come (and come it shall). Un-
doubtedly will I, in the name of our country, desire you,
wheresoever you may then be, to side with the people
round the banner of liberty. That is a sacred
duty.
Our enemy is the same everywhere, and the
people's
cause is one and the same, alike as there is but one God !
one honour ! and one liberty !;
But this I only shall do at the right time. The pre-
sent time was not the right t
one. •
Of one thing you may res assured, and that is, that I
never shall play with your blood a wanton play.
Whensoever I shall say to you, ‘f Ye braves 1 the time
is at hand ! " I will tell you this neither from London,
nor from any distant sate-place, but from head-quarters.
In person will I lead you on, and claim the first share in
your glorious dangers.
Never shall I invite you to risk any danger, in which
I myself did not share.
And as no one can be present in two places at once,
should I for that reason not place myself at the head ofyour
heroic ranks,
because duty will call on me to do that

INGENIOUS THEFT.—On Monday morning last, before
six o'clock, a person, yet undiscovered, called at the re-
sidence of a printer in this city, and asked for the keys
of the printing-office. The servant unsuspectingly handed
them out, only remarking that they had been called for
at an earlier hour than usual ; and, it being quite dark,
she did not perceive to whom she gave them. Some time
later another call was made for the keys, which caused
some surprise, and, on the person authorised to open
the premises going to them, he found the desk of the
counting-room and some drawers burst open. It was
found, on examination, that the earlier visitor had carried
off about 7/. in money, besides other property.—Edin-

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY. —On Friday the half-
yearly meeting of this company took place at the Ens-
ton Station ; Sir Harry Verney in the chair. The
report stated that a bill for the proposed junction
between this company's lines and the lines of the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, near Oxford,
which passed the House of Commons, but was rejected
in the Lords last session, is again prosecuted by the
London and North Western Company. The revenue
account was as follows : To arrears of first dividend paid
to the proprietors, 1251. Is. Bd. ; to amount paid on
second dividend, 24,533/. 9s. ; to balance, 7011. 19s. Bd. ;

report, alluded, in terms of deep regret, to the la-
mentable accident which bad recently occurred on the
railway, and expressed his opinion that additional secu-
rity might be insured to travellers by extending the
double line through the entire route. He congratulated
the shareholders on the course which the London and
North Western Company were adopting with regard to
the proposed junction between this company's lines and
the lines of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Company, and it was also satisfactory to him to state
that time extension of a line from Bedford to Sandy was
likewise in contemplation.- -The Hon. Mr. Pierrepont
seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to,
and the business terminated.

THE END OP 4. LOTTERY.—The return of the ship
La Foi, which was dispatched from Havre in December,
1851, with 310 emigrants, sent out to California by the
French Government from the proceeds of the Lotterie
des lingots d'or, makes the public acquainted with the
result of that celebrated expedition. It appears that a
few days after sailing a portion of the emigrants formed
a plot to overpower the officers and crew and take kis-
session of the vessel. The affair having been discovered,
and the ringleaders put in irons, the captain landed
them at Goree, where he touched for the purpose, and
where he would also have left some other doubtful char-
acters, but for the tefusal of the local authorities to re-
ceive them. After passing the equator a very large
quantity of preserved meat, with which the ship was
stored, was obliged to be thrown overboard. To re-
place this the captain. Put into Montevideo on the 13th
of February, 1852, and here no less than 131 of the
emigrants left him. He sailed again on the 21st of
Febivary, and put into Lima on the 28th of March,
having been forced to do so on account of another ap-
prehended outbreak among his passengers ; and, finally,
be arrived at San Francisco on the 13th of June, with
the remnant of his-selected cargo. The entire passage,
which occupied 140 days from Havre, only 113 of which
were under sail, -furnishes a curious exposition of the
class of persons selected by the Ministerial authorities
at Paris as the fittest -to receive the advantages of the
golden scheme, and as the most likely to exercise those
qualities that enable men to meet the difficulties of a
new career. r 1

YORK, NEWCA.STLR, AND BERWICK.—The half-yearly
Rooms, Y
meeting of this company was held at the De Grey
of the ork, on Friday. Mr. Pulleine, the chairman
the company, presided. In moving the adoption of
report which had already been published, he said, that
during the half-year a diminution had taken place in the
amount received from passenger traffic, which could be
partially accounted for by the competition which had
existed between their own and the Leeds Northern
Company. Another cause was a falling off in conse-
quence of the Exhibition traffic not having come into
the half-year, as it did in the corresponding half-year of
1851-52. In the merchandise and other traffic there was
a satisfactory increase. Mr. Alderman Leeman seconded
the motion. The Hon. J. C. Dundas opposed the
scheme of amalgamation with the Great North of Eng-
land on the ground that the terms given were too high.
The report, after a brief discussion, was adopted, and a
dividend of 3 per cent, declared, to be paid on the 26th
inst. A resolution approving of the course pursued by
the directors with regard to the Great North of England
purchase account was then agreed to. The retiring
directors and auditor were then re-elected. The meet-
ing having been made special for the consideration of
the amalgamation question, the Chairman moved to the
effect that the meeting should sanction the increased
terms proposed to be given to the Leeds Northern Com-
pany. Some discussion ensued, and the motion Was
ultimately carried by a large majority.

DUTY ON WINE.—From a Parliamentary paper just
issued, it appears that the wine duties in the year ended
the sth January last amounted to 1,872,943/.
COVENTRY RACES AND STEEPLECHASE.—We are au-
thorised to state, that in consequence of the frost the
races are postponed until Saturday next ; and the
steeplechase until the following Monday.
