SICILY.

The Liberta of Naples states from Palermo, that
great preparations for war are going on there. The
Sicilian army is to amount to 49,000 men ; an ord-
nance manufactory is established at Palermo, which
furnishes ten twelve-pounders per month. Large
French ordnance is placed to defend the port. General
MIEROSLAWSKI commands the Valley Catania Genera
TROBRIAND has been named Marshal of Sicily. The
fortifications around Palermo are actively carried on.
Ditches, parapets, mines, and barricades are con-
structed under the direction of the military engineers.
Forty thousand persons of all ranks, peasants as
well as nobles, men as well as women, are at work
there.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
THE YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK
RAILWAY COMPANY.
Railway Station, York, April 9, 1849.
I have read the report of the committee appointed
at the meeting held on the 20th of February last, and
in reference to the purchase and sale of the Great
North of England shares, the principal and indeed
the only object of inquiry affecting myself, I find that
my conduct has been viewed as improper, by reason
of my being deemed to stand towards the company in
to
oy t
hMer
sum.
h
e the relation of a trustee. The committee proceed to
state, " that they are of opinion that the sum charged
Hudson
actuallyfor p
these s sharesthem,

andto bteh
e reducedd7.ff e.
rence repaid with interest."
It is not my wish to impugn the reasoning or
question the conclusion of the committee; bat I must
be allowed to state that this opinion of the position
which I occupied in connexion with the company, is
one now presented to my mind for the first time. I
have always thought it my duty to watch over and
further the interests of the company to the best of my
power. I hope and believe that I have done so.
But I never thought myself restrained from entering
into personal engagements either with the company,
or with others, by reason of the position I stood in
towards the company, any more than if I had been
an ordinary proprietor. So far from considering
myself in the light of a trustee, and thereby disqua-
lified from acting in any other character, I may say
with truth, that I have never hesitated to take upon
myself any amount of personal responsibility the in-
terests of the company might require ; and I trust I
may be forgiven for calling this to mind, when I am
charged with having, in the character of a trustee,
made a profit of the company.
It will be in your recollection that at a period of
great difficulty I took upon myself the responsibility
of giving personally the guarantee then necessary for
completing the arrangement for raising the funds
requisite to extend the railway communication north:
ward to Newcastle. The risk was mine, and I was
entitled to the advantages which ultimately arose to
myself and the other guaranteeing parties. When
the interests of the company required, in my opinion,
that those advantages should be relinquished, I did
not hesitate to become a party to an arrangement
with the company for surrendering them ; and by
that surrender I sacrificed a considerable annual
income.

governed my conduct, and not to the disadvantage of
Other instances, in which the sameprinciple has
the company, will present themselves to your re.
collection. I advert to them for the purpose of show-
ing on what principle I have hitherto acted.
It is impossible, therefore, for me to adopt the con-
clusion at which the committee have arrived; for as
far as my own view of my position is concerned, that
conclusion is incorrect. But if their view of my posi•
by my repaying the
tion as a trustee is right, then itshould be carried out;
interest, which, after the cor-
dnis.ot,erhenocweevweri,thas
rection of an
.ad. mated error, would be a
comparatively trifling amount, but by can-
celling the whole transaction. This course would
involve a much larger pecuniary sacrifice on my part
than that recommended by the committee ; for if it
be adopted, I receive back at a period of depression
shares which in better times I could have disposed of
to advantage, and the company will have their money
at their command at a time when it may be benefi-
cially employed.
But I care nothing for pecuniary considerations in
this matter. I must pursue the course which my own
feelings and judgment point out to be correct, under
the circumstances in which I find myself placed_
circumstances to me of a most painful nature, but in
which I have become involved • without the slightest
idea on my part
,that I was doing anything deserving
reprehension.—l have the honour to be your most
obedient servant,

GEORGE HUDSON.

TRIAL OP DUFFY.
DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.—At the sitting of
the Commission Court this morning, at the request of
the prisoner's counsel, the long panel was read over,
but before the list had been gone through the Crown
consented that a copy should be furnished to Mr.
Duffy.
The composition of the panel is considered to be
unfavourable as regards the probability of a disagree-
ment in the jury box.

The trial cannot now commence before Wednesday
morning, as the judges have resolved upon disposing
of all the minor cases to-morrow.

ABOLITION OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THEFT.
It is reported here that the Government have a Bill
actually prepared for the abolition of the punishment
of transportation in all cases of theft, and substituting
in lieu thereof fine and imprisonment.

we learn that the cotton market yesterday was active;
the sales to two o'clock 1,300 bales, with prices firm at
last quotations. Since Saturday last the following boats

THE REV. JAMES SHORE.--MEETING AT LIVER..
POOL.—'LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—This day, at noon, a
public meeting was held in the Concert Hall, for the pur-
pose of expressing
nowincarcerated at Exeter, at the suit of the Bishop
sympathy with the Rev. James Shore,
of Exeter, and far petitioning Parliament in favour of
the Clergy Relief Bill recently introduced by Mr. Bou-
verie, M.P.; Mr. Charles Robertson in the chair. The
Rev. Thomas Kelly proposed the first resolution :
" That this meeting has learned with astonishment and
regret. that it is not possible, in the existing state of the
laws in this country, for a clergyman of the Church
of England, on a conscientious change of opinion, to
liberate himself from the control of his ecclesiastical
superiors by secession from that Church, and records
its deliberate and firm conviction, that the law by
which the Rev. James Shore, M.A., of Totnes, is im-
prisoned. in Exeter gaol, is contrary to the free spirit of
our national constitution, and hostile to the principles
of religious liberty." The Rev. Vernon White seconded
the resolution, which was supported by Mr. J. A. I'icton,
and passed unanimously. The Rev. J. Birrell proposed
the next resolution, " That this meeting, without pro-
nouncing an opinion on all the details of Mr. Shore's
case, expresses its warmest approval of the course gene-
rally
which he has adopted, its deepest sympathy with
him in his present painful circumstances, and its belief
that his imprisonment will tend to the extension of the
principles of religious liberty." This resolution was
also carried unanimously, amidst loud cheers. A peti•
tion to Parliament in favour of Mr. Bouverie's Corm'
Relief Bill was then adopted, and the meeting broke up.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, and comprised about
4,000 to 5,000 American, at 33,-1. to 6id.; 200 Pernams
and Moranham at 4d. to 5p.; 200 Egyptian at 6d. to
GM.; 300 Surats at 3il. to 3Ad.; and 20 Sea Island, at
81 to 11d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull and gene-
rally at lower quotations.
The accounts received from the Continent bring
nothing of importance from the seat of war in
Holstein, but the official notification from the Danish
Consul General in London of the blockade of
various ports is considered quite in form, and what was
to be expected, nor does it in the view of the more san-
guine lessen the prospect of peace arising from the
contre temps experienced in the outset by the Danish
fleet. It is the fashion with many to abandon them-
selves to " exaltation" of feeling and a mischievous de-
light in war, but those who form the strength of the
country, the industrious and commercial classes, take a
far more rational, even if interested view, and deplore
the destruction of life and property, as well as the sus-
pension of trade that ensues.
The Amsterdam Bourse, on the 7th inst., was very
quiet, and prices had not varied much. All Foreign
Securities were lower.
The Budget of Belgium, for 1850, amounts to
119,405 620 francs. In 1849 it was estimated at
115,891,020 francs.
The Seagull from Rio de Janeiro brings advices of
February 27th. The state of political affairs in Per-
nambuco was more satisfactory, and it may be inferred
that if the Government remains on the alert, there will
be no further troubles. The rate of exchange at Rio
had materially improved, being 251 to 251, and with
large transactions on England. Money was rather in
demand at 7 to 7} per cent., and the Six per Cent. Stock
had been a little fl it at 86 to 861.
The River Plate advices are of no importance, and we
believe not later in date.
We are favoured by Mr. William Short with the fol-
lowing brief statement concerning the iron trade:—
" The demand for Welch bar iron during the last
month has been extremely limited, and the price has
given way a shade, while makers evince more disposi-
tion to take orders than was the case at the end of the
preceding month, when the price was advanced from 61.
to 6/. ss. per ton.
" Scotch pig iron declined in price towards
the middle of the month, and business was done
at 475. per ton free on board at Glasgow for
3-5 No. 1, and 2.5 No. 3 ordinary brands,
but since then a better feeling has been evinced, and 50s.
per ton has been paid for same quality and assortment ;
the price of favourite makes is 2s. to 3s. per ton more.
" In other kinds of Iron there is nothing to note."
The Colonial Produce Markets will not rc-open until
to-morrow, and in the meantime the brokers and others
are making the most of the holiday. Tea is steady at
private sale, and Tallow dull. Cotton is firm. It is
hoped that in a few days business will be actively re-
sumed.
The arrangements for settling the monthly account
have occupied chief attention in the Stock Exchange,
and there has been an improvement, in the absence of
foreign news of an unfavourable character. Consols
have ranged from to 91.. The "continua.
tion "to May has been to 3-16 per cent., and
money is very easy, with every prespcot of
becominz still more so, now the dividends are in the
course of payment, and general transfers are resumed in
public securities. Th 9 suppression of the revolt at
Genoa, the rise in the French funds, ard the anticipated
resolve of the King of Prussia not to become Emperor
of Germany, have been construed as favourable to the
Bulls, but probably the Bears have rather oversold, and
may by buying in a little give present support to the.
market. Exchequer-bills have touched 465. and 495.,
and India Bonds 60s. premium. Bank Stock is worth

Count Ratizou, the delegate of the Amsterdam Com-
mittee of Spanish bondholders had, on Saturday last, a
protracted interview with the King of the Belgians, upon
the subject of the bonds, and was most graciously re-
ceived.
In the Foreign Stock Market there is very little do-
ing. Mexican Bonds have been 29-it to le Equador,
311 t, and Buenos Ayres 39. Portuguese Four per

vanced rates of 1041 to 105. Spanish Five per Cents.
are 16i and the Three per Cents. 30. Dutch Two-

Shares look somewhat firmer, but there is very little
doing.

CIII3IINALL COURT.—( THIS DAY,)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
FATHER AND SON.

Henry Corbis,Vey, aged 19, described as a harness
maker, pleaded Guilty to a charge of stealing 10 save•
reigns, the propo: :ty of his father, Mr. Ebenezer Cor-
bishley.

The prosecutor , who is a Dissenting minister, in reply
to the Recorder, stated that the prisoner was a most
incorrigible vagal ond. He had brought him up well,
and given him a wood education, and when the proper
time arrived ho apprenticed him to a saddler, paying
with him a pre rni um of 801. He, however, conducted
himselr so disg;•ac'efully that eventually the indentures
had to be cancelleii, and the money forfeited. Throyagli
the influence of the late Alderman Lucas, he was t,acs
admitted into the :Marine Society, and some time after
yards he was stet to sea, when the prosecutor altoge•diet
lost sight t;.of him for a lengthened period. The
next he heard of him was through his being
charged of a former felony, but he goi
over that, and a situation of 10s. per week swat'
procured for hills on board a fishing smack. The smack:
at the time lying at Brighton, and the prosecutor not
only gave him a. suit of clothes, but supplied him with
money to pay Es fare down. He, however, never found
his way to Brighton, but got into Maidstone gaol. Still
the prosecutor was disposed to overlook this, and rods
allowed him to return to his home; hut having committed
the present robbery he felt it to be his duty to prosecute
him for the sake of a younger son, whom the prisoner
was contanaimming by his wicked conduct and evil
counsel.

The COURT. :,•entencecl the prisoner to fifteen months'
imprisonment in the house of Correction, with hard
uour.

A JUVENILE RESCUER.—A lad named Henry Myers,
aged 15, pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawfully rt f
cuing from the cus'udy of Phoebe Abraham, a person
whose name was unknown, and who hQ,d stolen from, htr
person moneys, value 2s. 2d., of Emanuel Abrahams,
and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment.

NE IV COURT.
The Court was occupied during the whole morning, 10
trying Mint prosecutions for uttering counterfeit c gin,
but none of them presented any feature beyond whist is
ordinarily found in cases of this description.
The number of prisoners charged with this offence is
more than usually large this sessions.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE.)
The April Quarter Sessions were commenced this
morning at the Sessions-house, Hicks's Hall, Clerk en'
well•green, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistai3t*
Judge, and a bench of magistrates. The calendar• is
rather heavy, the number of prisoners being nearly 120.
Bur, the offences are fur the most part trivial, and the
offenders juvenile.
There were three cases of pocket picking in the crowd
at Messrs. Ackermo.nn's window in the Strand (collected
round the portrait of Rush) tried in the course of the
morning, and the prisoners were all convicted.
TLe ASSISTANT-JUDGE thought that these cases ought
to teach the loungers who gather round the attractive •
windows of Messrs Ackermana to be careful of their
pockets.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY•)
Mary GrffiLths, a notorious thief, was brought bolero
Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen three half'
crowns belonging to Join Phillips, No. 12, Carrington'
street, May-ti.ir.
The prosecutor stated that on the previous night,
about ten o'clock, he was proceeding up Park-lane►
when he was accosted by three women, one of whom
was the pris oner. Witness desired them to go abouS,
their business or he would give them in charge. Two 01
the women then left, but the prisoner persisted in follow'
ing him. At that time be put his hand in his trousers
pocket and felt that his money, consisting of three half-
crowns, was sa re. The prisoner then laid hold of his arra
and walked with him for several yards. He ender
voured to shake her off, and in doing so he felt her
withdraw her hand from his pocket. He felt in the
latter and missea the money. lie then seized hold of
her and detained her until a constable came up, when be
gave her in charge. She was searched at the station,
but no portion of the money was found upon her.
The prisoner, who is an old offender, was committed
to the House of Correction for two months, with hard
labour.

Wm. Irving, a determined young vagrant, was charged
with having braken three squares of glass, value 153.,
at the Rose Tavern, Jermyn•street.
Mr. John Mead, landlord of the above tavern, deposed
that last night, a bout half-past eleven, the prisoner came
to his house and demanded relief; on being refused, he
took up some oyt ter shells and broke the windows. Lie
then give him in charge.
The prisoner wAs committed for three mouths, with
hard labour.

SOUTIIITARK.—(THIS DAY.)
Wm. Bailey was again placed at tho bar, charged
with the wilful murder of Henry Lamboyle, in the
Blackfriars-read.
Mr. COTTINGICAM directed that the evidence takin
yesterday should be read over.
Some further additional evidence having been given,
Mr. CorrinonAm said, you have heard all the evidence
now adduced against you. It will afterwards be reduced
to the shape of de positioni to be used upon your trial,
and you will have it read over to you. lam compelled
to send you for tri it on this solemn charge, and it is my
duty now to ask you if you have anything to say. You
Y say anything or nothing, but whatever you mai
Low say will be used in another place.
Prisoner—l have nothing to say, only, according to
what I hear from the evidence, I am sorry this has hap'
pened. He was a yining man with whom I was well ac-
quainted. I have wen home with him many times, both
to dinner and to tea, and he has been with me the same.
He was one of the last that I would
think of doing such a thing to. We had been drhak-
ing together all night, and were very comfortable. Hoe' it occurred I'm sure I don't know, when I heard him
say, Oh, I'm stabbed ; lam going." I have no idea
of anything further than that when I was taken into
custody. That young man (referring to one of the wit-
nesses) says to me 6.; You are not going away," and
says "No, I'm not going ;" and when the man said he
was stabbed I thought he was only joking.
Mr. COTTINGIIA'a—You will be sent to the Old Bailey,
and your trial will probably take place on Friday next.
You had better be prepared to meet this awful charge.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS.
NORWICH, MONDAY AFTERNOON.— A. change
seems to have taken place in the prisoner Rush,
which, though inconsiderable, holds out a promise
that e'e long that obstinacy in which he has so long
indulged may give way to impressions more suitable
to the a,vful position in which he stands. For some
days pist his great object seems to have been to per-
suade those by whom he is more immediately sur-
rounde 1 of his innocence of the atrocious charge of
which he has been convicted, but on no occasion
has he reverted to that ridiculous inven-
tion which he was weak enough to imagine
the Judge and jury would entertain, that " Dick
and Joe ' were the guilty parties. During the
whole of yesterday, and also during part of today,
he has been more reserved, and has asked several
questions of a different character from those he has
been in the habit of putting. Hitherto his queries
have been irreverent and absurd, but now he has
adopted a more serious tone. Rush attended Divine
service yesterday morning in the Castle chapel. Dur-
ing the delivery of the sermon, which was preached
by the Rev. Mr. Brown, he appeared to be in a
deeply meditative mood ; his eyes were fixed upon
the ground; once or twice he raised them- towards
the preacher, but they dropped almost immediately
into their original position.
The proprietors of the No folk News, a paper of
large circulation, have made, or are about to make,
a direct proposal to the murderer Rush to settle a
large amount of money upon his family if he will
write for publication (in a volume) a sketch of his
past career, and will append to it a confession of the
Stanfield•hall murders. A large number of persons
firmly believe that the murderer will accept this pro-
posal; that is, if he is honest enough to make any

Sa,.l !,ccoitilts are received from with
regard to Mrs. Jermy. She appears to mike no ad-
vance towards improvement. Emily Sandford remains
at Wyraondharn Bridewell, under the to3tering care

of Mrs. Bryant, who has shown her unexampled kind-
ne:•s and attentiJn.

An application has been made by the magistrates to
Sir George Grey, to appoint the execution for 21onday,
instead of Saturday, on account of the injury which
business will sustain, if allowed to take place on mar-
ket-day. No answer from the Right llon. Baronet
has yet been received.

MAGAZEN ES-(CON TINUED).
D 0 L HAN. _

Out of all the articles published in the April num-
ber of this periodical we Eelect one for especial and
conspicuous mention. We hail its appearance with a
sort of rapture, exulting, as we do, in the exposure of
as huge a piece of humbug as ever Fulled a few su-
perstitious old women into dismay. 1. e famous pro-
phecies or Orval—the renowned previsions of the re-
cluse of Orval—about which there was so much fuss
lately—have been proved to constitute a gigantic
sham. Louis, the Lord Bishop of Verdun, writing to
his Metropolitan, asserts that he has personally
questioned the author of this gross imposture
—and, says he, "If I have had the sorrow of stating
that a priest had the misfortune of sinning
in so weighty a mstter against the Laws of truth, 1
am happy to add, my Lord, that I have also had the
consolation of receiving from the mouth of the guilty
one a complete avowal of his fault. lie told me, in fact,
that the little book said to have been printed at Lux-
embourg in 1544 had never existed, except in his imag
nation." So that this bubble that had swollen to such
vast proportions, and had affrighted so many thou-
sands in Christendom, 1-is burst ! We are glad of
it. So perish the influence of all false prophets, be
they Presbyterian clergymen of London or Jesuit
missionaries of Poictiers !
