The reply :

" Naples, Sept. 20.
" Sir,—l have received the note of the 16th inst. which
your Excellency has done me the honour to address to
me, and have, in the performance of my duty, submitted
it to the consideration of my august Sovereign. His
Majesty has charged me to recal to the memory of your
Excellency, in a brief resume, the circumstances which
have produced the actual state of things.
"So far as regards the good offices of the English
diplomacy, employed for the purpose of terminating the
rebellion in Sicily, as well as for procuring changes in
the Government founded on the Constitntion of 1812,
I have the honour to state to your Excellency, that this
subject, and everything connected with it, have been
already discussed at great length, fully argued, and
finally recognised to have no weight or value ; and at
the same time, I must be permitted to remind you, that
the generous concessions made by his Majesty in his
sovereign act dated at Gaeta, the 28th of February,
were wound up by the following conditions:—
" All such concessions must be considered as not
promised, nor made, in case Sicily does not imme-
diately submit to the authority of its legitimate Sove-
reign; and that in case the royal army shall be com-
pelled to act in a military manner for the purpose of re•
occupying that part of the royal dominions' the island
shall suffer all the consequences of war, and forfeit the
advantages offered to it iu the present set of concession.'
" Your Excellency cannot bo ignorant of the unpro-
ductive steps taken by the two Admirals—Parker and
Baudin—in Sicily, nor leave out of consideration the
exertions, which immediately followed, of your Excel-
lency and of the Count de Raynoval, when you both
went to Palermo for the purpose of persuading the in-
surgents to accept the benevolent concessions and gene-
rous pardon of their Sovereign.
" Neither can your Excellency cease to remember the
insolent answers, and the cries of war with which you
and those distinguished persons were persecuted, raised
by a few hundred men, paid for that purpose by those
who had so long disturbed the peace of unfortunate Si-
cily; and yen cannot attach any value to those expres-
sions, save as the best evidence that can now be offered
of an erroneous i mpression which produced so many illegal
and ill-ad via: d proceedings. Indeed, your Excellency
and the Count de Rayneval, full of sorrow at the non-
success of your joint effsrts to bring about the pacifica-
tion of Sicily, did, the ono on the 28th, and the other
on the 30th of March last, convey in writing to the Go-
cerement of his Majesty, your heartfelt regrets that
your exertions had proved fruitless and of no avail.
" Finally, your Excellency, so wise and enlightened
cannot doubt that, according to the principles establinliad
by all Governments of the world, the Government of his
Majesty, an independent Sovereign, has the right to
regulate the internal administration of its own country
according to the inspiration of its justice, without creat-
ing any prejudice to other nations.
" In fine, after having had the honour to establish the
principles which revive the condition of ell nations,
and shown that the ciTorts of the Sicilian insurgents
islded hefere the victorious arms of my eugust

Sovereign, and the loyalty of the majority of the
population, I have the satisfaction to add that his
Majesty is still well disposed of his own free will
cstablish su-th forms of administration as
are suitable to that part of the kingdom,
and are desired by the inhabitants themselves. Alt the
measures taken by the wisdom of Prince Satriano since
the submission of Palermo have had always in view the
spirit of humanity and a complete oblivion of the past.
No idea of vengeance has occupied the mind of the Go-
vernment of his Majesty in the island, and your Excel-
lency must be informed that up to this hour no execu-
tion has taken place fcr political offences, and that the
severity of the law has been used alone against assassins
and disturbers of public order.
" Although his Majesty insists fully on the principle
that nu foreign Government has a right to interfere in
the internal administration of other countries, I cannot
deprive myself of the pleasure of explaining to the Govern-
ment of an allied and friendly power that Sicily at this
moment enjoys perfect tranquillity, that the inhabitants
are happy in being restored to the protection of their
legitimate Sovereign, and if no foreign agent attempts
to disturb the peace now actually prevailing in the
island, his Majesty is certain that all his subjects will
be united in an indissoluble bond of love and loyalty to
their legit'-late Sovereign.—l have the honour, &c.,
" FORTUNATO."

ALLEGED MURDER.—PRESTON, SATURDAY.—Yes-
terday, Henry Glover, son of a respectable farmer,
of Lea House, Lea, near Leagato Railway Station,
was charged More the Mayor and several other
Magistrates sitting in the Council Chamber of the
Town Hall, with the murder of Edward La-
tham, a gardener, employed by Mrs. Podder, at
Ashton Lodge, in this parish. The deceased was
found on Monday last, by the police-constable
lying under one of the arches of the Wyre Railway.
Life was extinct, but the body was quite warm, blood
was flowing from his nose and ears. The body was forth.
with removed to the Rawstone Arms public-house. Mr.
R. Palmer, the district coroner, baying been apprised of
the finding of the body, held an inquest en the same,
when it appeared that the prisoner and the deceased left
the Water Trough public-house on the previous Sunday
night in company with other men; the latter left them,
and shortly after a person named Charles Billington saw
the prisoner standing up and the deceased on the ground,
when the former said " Hest thou had enough?" Wit-
ness went towards the one ou the ground, when the first
one run away a few paces, but returned directly, and
seeing witness, he said, " Holies, Charley, is that thou?"
Ile proceeded along the road in company of the pri-
soner, when the prisoner said " Shall I turn back end
finish him?" Witness replied " No." Ile afterwards
said it was a bad job, and witness must not mention
what he had done. The case assuming such a serious
complexion against the prisoner, he declined saying
anything in his defence, and he was remanded.
NOVEL MODE OF CHEATING THE RAILWAY.—
A few days ago a woman got into a second-class rail-
way carriage attached to a down train for Nottingham.
In her armishe carried a ponderous-looking babe, dressed
in long clothes, and with its head entirely concealed be-
neath her shawl. Several times during her journey the
half-smothered child made a noise very much like the
barking of a dog. The repetition of these unnatural
sounds aroused the sympathy of an old lady travelling in
the same carriage, who remarked, " What a dreadful
cold that child's got, to be sure." The distressed baby's
nurse replied that the poor thing had got a severe attack
of the influenza, and she was afraid it would turn to the
hooping cough. When they arrived at Nottingham, the
active ticket collector opened the door of the carriage,
and exclaimed rather abruptly, " Tickets, please." This
awakened the slumbering object in the woman's
arms, and an angry, but this time unmistakeable bark
burst forth, to the astonishment of the official, who,
however, lifted up the woman's shawl, and exposed the
head of one of the canine species, ludicrously wrapped in
an infant's long dress. Extra fare was immediately de-
manded, which the woman reluctantly paid, amidst the
jeers and laughter of the passengers.—Nottinghame
Guardian.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF BODIES SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN MURDERED. Throughout Friday and
Saturday great sensation :prevailed in the vicinity of
High-street, Borough, in consequence of the following
discovery. Some children who were playing in the
lofts of the Old White Hart Inu (celebrated by Dickens
in the "Pickwick Papers," but which is now chiefly let
out in lodgings), threw down into the yard what proved
to bo a human skull. This led to inquiry, and by the
aid of the police and Mr. Thwaits, churchwarden of St.
Saviour's, search was made, when various bones, form-
ing three perfect skeletons were found, one that of a
young female, and evidently deposited there very re-
cem ly. In the same portion of the loft was discovered
a heap of arsenic, which had fallen from a rotten paper
bag. In an upper loft, communicating with the former
by a hole in the ceiling, were found three stockings, a
female's cap, and part of a chemise, a portion of a man's
shirt, a leather glove, and a cotton cravat, apparently
o
saturated with blood. Thef a

OPENING OF THE EA1....11AT-FRT:11I CILLI TO LAl-
n.tcu.—A letter from Laibach, of the 17th instant,
announces the opening of the line of railway from Cilli
to Laibach with great ceremony. The Emperor having
been prevented from attending by the meeting of his
Generals at Vienna, he was represented by the Arch-
duke Albrecht. On the arrival of the train at Laibach,
where some 40,000 spectators were assembled, the
bishop pronounced a blessing upon the station. A grand
banquet and ball were given in the evening. At the
former, the Chevalier Von Bruck, the only Minister that
accompanied his Imperial Highness the Archduke, made
an appropriate speech, and concluded by proposing
" The prosperity of the City of Laibach." ' On the
following moining the Archduke and his suite returned
to Vienna. Passengers and goods trains have already
commenced running. Thus another important link in
the great line which is to connect Vienna with her
richest sea port, Trieste, has been completed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Francis Betsow, one of the relieving-over-
seers of Bethnal-green Union, attended before Mr.
Arnold, to answer a complaint preferred against him
of having unlawfully refused to furnish proper relief
to three female orphans named Wells, varying in age
from four to eight years, the children of parents both
of whom had recently fallen victims to cholera.
The complaint was preferred by an aunt of the
children, a woman named Sarah Cheverill, the wife of
a weaver in distressed circumstances, from whose
statement it appeared that the parents of the little
girls, who then lodged in one of the most confined
and filthy streets in the parish of Shoreditch,
were attacked, about three weeks since, by cho-
lera, and having died almost at the same time.
the medical gentleman who had been in at-
tendance upon them in their last moments recom-
mended the immediate removal of the children to a
more healthy locality, lest they should fall victims
also. She (the applicant) consented, under the me-
lancholy circumstances, to receive them, and trans-
ferred them to the residence of her husband, in
Wilmot-street, Bethnal-green ; but as they were very
impoverished themselves, and incapable of perma-
nently providing for the children, she was obliged I
about a week ago to apply to the parish authorities
for assistance, and requested the overseer either to
afford them some outdoor relief or admit the little
girls into the workhouse. The overseer refused to do
either, intimating that she had voluntarily brought the
burden of the children's maintenance upon her own
shoulders by unnecessarily introducing them into a
parish where they had no legal settlement, and as
several subsequent applications for something to be
done for them had met with no better result, she was
compelled at last to come to this court to obtain the
magistrate's intervention on behalf of the orphans,
al her husband was incapable of keeping them any
longer.
in answer to these allegations the overseer stated,
that ho did not conceive he should be justified, or ful-
filling his duties properly to the ratepayers of an
already overburdened locality, in affording the relief
demanded in such a case, without the express sanction
of the board of guardians, as the children bad no
claim whatever upon the parish they bad been brought
to, and had, in fact, as he believed, already received
some assistance from the pariah authorities of Mile-
end, where, he understood, they had lived for a short
time since the death of their parents under the care
of another relative. The aunt of the children, more-
over, had been subjected to the customary examina-
tion at the office of the vestry-clerk, with the view to
eliciting their real place of se Alement, but she was
either unable or unwilling, lie could not say which,
to furnish the requisite information on the subject,
and he therefore considered himself fully warranted
in refusing the woman's application for relief until he
was put in possession of sufficient particulars to enable
him to pass the children in due form to the parish
which was legally amenable to them.
Mr. ARNOLD was willing to believe that the over-
seer had acted in the matter in accordance with what
he believed to be the strict line cf his duty, but he
felt satisfied, at the same time, that the board of
guardians would be anxious to see a considerate view
taken where such a melancholy calamity had occurred,
and he must say that he thought it would be a cruel
case if three poor helpless children, who had been so
suddenly deprived of both their parents by such a
terrible visitation, should be refused any kind of
relief. Whether the little girls really belonged, to
Bethnal-green or not, it was manifest that they were
at all events at present casual paupers in that parish,
and as such he considered that the overseer was bound
to relieve them, until he found himself in a condition
to transfer the burden of their support to their proper
or permanent place of settlement, wherever tnat
might be.
After some further conversation the overseer inti-
mated his readiness to afford the children temporary
relief, until an opportunity presented itself for
obtaining further directions on submitting the case for
the decision of the board of guardians upon it.,
LAMBETH.
On Saturday Mr. Horace Knight, a young fellow
whose friends are of the highest respectability, and
who a short time since held a situation of high trust
on one of the metropolitan lines of railroad, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of passing
various forged cheques drawn on the bank of Master-
man and Co.
Mrs. Eliza Robinson, of 25,Cresby-row, Walworth-
road, deposed that on the evening of the 13th instant
the prisoner entered her shop and asked her for change
of a 51. cheque he then produced. Believing the
cheque to be genuine, and knowing the prisoner's
father, who had been a customer of her husband for
many years, to be a gentleman of the highest respect.
ability, she, without hesitation, gave him the change.
O. the following day her husband presented the
cheque at the banking-uotme, and was told there were
no effects.
Police-constable 125 P deposed that on the preced-
ing night he met the prisoner in the Walworth-road,
and knowing he was ' wanted," he stopped him, and
asked if be knew anything about forged cheques, and
he replied he did not, and did not knew what be
meant. Witness, however, told him he must accom-
pany him to the station, and on the way there he said
he did know something about a cheque, but should
make it all right.
Sergeant Quinnear, 1 P, requested that the priso-
ner might be remanded to a future day, when he
should be prepared to produce witnesses to establ'sh
several other cases against him.
The prisoner, on whose person, when apprehended,
three cheques similar to those he had passed were
found, was remanded to a future day.
THAMES. 117-1
Mary Smith, alias Merrick, Bridget Mackenzie,
211ary Ann Sullivan, rid Catherine Pratt, were brought
up on remand charged with hocussing end robbing Mr.
David Dorwrrd, a master =liner.
Mr. INGHAM said he should again remand the psi-
soners, who would be ultimately committed for trial.
At the suggestion of Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, he
directed that the deposition of the prosecutor should
be formally taken and returned to the sessions, and
then remanded the prisoners for another week.
SOUTH WARK.
During Saturday afternoon Mr. Joseph Solomons,
the solicitor to Mrs. Manning, attended before Mr.
Seeker to make an application for an important letter
now in the hands of the police.
Mr. Solomons informed Mr. Sacker that Mrs
Manning had sent for him to the gaol that morning,
and requested him to obtain a letter now in the
hands of the police, and which was taken away from
her by Mr. Moxey, the superintendent of the Edin-
burgh police. That letter, she believed, was of the
utmost consequence to her in getting up her defence,
as it was sent to her by O'Connor, while she was in
the service of Lady Blantyre. He, therefore, begged
to have that letter handed over to him as her solicitor,
so that it might be used as his client desired. He
begged to say, that the letter in question was ad-
dressed to her in her maiden name," Maria de Roux,"
at Stafford-house, St. James's Park.
Mr. SECKER—The letter you speak of is in the
possession of the police, and may be of some import-
ance to them; therefore I cannot allow it to go out of
their hands. Was Mrs. Manning married at that
time ?
Mr. Solomons—She was not, I believe ; but from
her statement to me I think it will clear up the mys-
tery respecting the property found on her.
Mr. Edwin (chief clerk)—Perhaps a copy of the
letter might serve Mr. Solomon's purpose. There
could be no objection to his taking one. The letter
is in the hands of Inspector Yates,who will show it on
receiving an order from the magistrate.
Mr. SECLER—I have no objection to allow Mr
Solomons to have a copy of that letter, but the ori-
ginal must be retained in the hands of the police ; es
I said before, it may be of importance.
Mr. Solomons—A copy of the letter in question
will be quite sufficient for my purposes, as Mrs.
Manning wishes merely to know the contents.
Mr. SECKER—You may have a copy by applying
to Inspector Yates.
Mr. Solomons thanked the magistrate, and with.
drew for that purpose.
In the latter part of the day Mr. SECKER received
the following letter :

August
last, I think it my duty to society to inform you that I
have reason to believe that Mrs. Manning lodged in y
house as above; that she was brought hero by one of The
rr;lway guards of the name of Hopson; that she arrived
on or about the 13th or 14th of that month (August),
and remained in my house three days. I only speak
from recollection, and cannot as yet swear she is the
same party unless I see her, but I believe from the de-
scription given of her in the newspapers that she is the
party. I am informed another examination is to take
place, and should you think my information of use to the
public I am ready to attend.
"I am, Sir, your obediant servant,
" J. 0. Seeker, Esq. MARY DIME."
Mr. SECKER said, he could make no suggestion re-
specting the letter, especially as he had reason to be-
lieve Mrs. Manning was at Edinburgh at the time.
WANDS W ORTH.
Mr. Day, the trunk and packing-case maker of
the Strand, attended with his gamekeeper to prefer
an information against Mr. Henry Revell Reynolds,
joint solicitor to the Treasury, for trespassing upon a
farm in the parish of Wimbledon, in the occupation
of Mr. John Croker, a fanner, but over which Mr.
Day has purchased the right of shooting of a Mr.
Drax, the owner of the property.
The keeper stated that in the early part of the week
he found Mr. Reynolds in a piece of oat stubble; he
was carrying an air gun, and he asked him his name.
Mr. Reynolds replied, "If you want it you must
come across the common ;" but the keeper said he
