TRIAL OF PRINCE GRANATELLI AND OTHERS UNDER THE

FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT.

Cross. examination of Girolomo Rinondo (continued
from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday)—l told Prince
Granatelli the same story, and he gave me 10s.
Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—I bad always un-
derstood the person whom I touched as Prince Grana-
telli to be the Prince.

Giovanni Korcub was next called. He said he was
a Maltese. He applied for the berth of captain's
cook on board the Bombay, to D'Amico, who
said he would speak to Captain Moody about
him. D'Amico said the vessel belonged to Sicily.
D'Amico asked what countryman he was, and he
replied a Maltese. D'Amico referred him to Captain
Moody, who, in the presence of D'Amico, on the follow-
ing day, engaged witness to go on board the Bombay.
He offered witness 41. a month, which he accepted and
went on board. He was on board when the vessel was
tried down the river. He saw the circles laid down on
the deck fur the two swivel guns, about a week before
the trial trip. Captain Moody, D'Amico, and the work-
men on board were present when the circles were laid
down on the deck. They had a model gun on board, which
they tried on the circles from time to time. Capt. Moody
met him on the pier at Blackwell, and asked him if he
knew any men, Maltese or foreign, who would sail on
board the Bombay. Witness informed him next morn-
ing that ho knew some men who would go, when Cap-
tain Moody said he did not want any more men. The
Bombay was fitted up as a man-of-war.
Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I was twelve
years on board of an English man-of-war; and he could
only speak such English as related to his business. Pre-
vious to going to ask for a berth on board the Bombay
he had not seen the Neapolitan Consul or Mr. White,
the solicitor for the prosecution. He was now receiv-
ing 14s. a week, which was paid by Senhor White—
(Laughter)—he had received that 14s. a weak ever since
Captain Moody had discharged him. He did nut know
that he was to receive anything more after the trial.
Mr. C. A. Ferguson said he was a gun carriage-maker.
He knows Salvadore D'Amico. Witness was present
when some orders were given for some gun-carriages;
that was about January. Four gun-carriages were or
dered for 68 •pounders, by D'Amico, of witness's brother,
in his (witness's) presence. He had seen D'Amico on
his premises several times before and after the orders
were given.
By the JUDGE—Those gun carriages were supplied
from witness's place.
By Sir F. THESIGER—Witness did not know where
the carriages were sent to; his father would be able to
say where; witness was only present when the order
was given. D'Amico at the time the order was given
said two of the gun-carriages were for the Bombay, and
two for another vessel, which witness thought was the
Vectis.

Cross-examined by Sir F. KELLY—Witness had no
knowledge that those gun•carriages were put on board
either the Vectis or tho Bombay. They were put on
board a vessel in the river for a foreign port.
Benjamin Cox said he had been engaged as a coal-
trimmer on board the Bombay. Captain Moody com-
manded the vessel at that time, and engaged witness as
a trimmer. That was on the 14th of March last. The
Bombay was fitted out as a man•of•war. Witness had
previously sailed on board the Salamander and the
Meteor, Government w:.r•steamers. There were fittings
for arms under the half deck of the Bombay, racks for
muskets, and stands for small arms. There was a passage
made right through the vessel to admit of a retreat in
he case of the vessel being stormed or hard pressed in a
sea fight.
John Robinson proved the handwriting of Captain
Moody to the discharge of the trimmer on board the
Bombay.
Cox re-called and cross-examined by Sir F. KELLY---
The. Bombay was so constructed as to receive guns, but
there were no guns on board, nor were there any mus•
kets or boarding-pikes. There were about forty
men on board. At the time the vessel sailed she was
perfectly ready to go to war, except that she wanted the
guns and ammunition and the crew. There was a model
shell on board in the racks. There were some bales of
serge on board, but witness did not know it was on board
for the purpose of exportation to Malta.
By Sir F. TRESIGER—The serge, he believed, was
stuff for soldiers' jackets.
John Robinson recalled—Was the boatswain on board
the Bombay, and went on board on the 15th March.
Captain Moody engaged him.
Prince Castelcicala was next called and examined by
Sir F. THESIGER—Ho said I am the accredited Minister
of the King of the Two Sicilies t 3 this country. His
title is Ferdinand 11., the King of the Kingdom of the
Two Sicilies. I was informed that a revolution bad
broken out in Sicily in 1847. Naples is the seat
of the Government of the Two Sicilies. There is a local
administration, which he allows, at Palermo. The flag
of the Two Sicilies is white, with the royal arms in red.
From the year 1847 down to the present time there has
been peace between this country and the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies. I know by sight Prince Granatelli and
Senhor Scalia. They hold no office under the
King of the Two Sicilies. I met them in the ante-room
of the Foreign•otfice on one occasion when I was going
by appointment to see Lord Palmerston, and also met
them at Lady Palraerston's soirie. This prosecution
has been instituted at my instance. Prince Granatelli or
Scalia has not been in any way accredited to this country
from the kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Cross-examined by Sir F. KELLY—I have not been

in Sicily since the troubles broke out. The prede-
cessor of the present King was Ferdinand the First.
I had an eye on the Bombay fur some time, and I wrote
to Lord Palmerston ; I cannot remember the date when
I wrote ; it was, perhaps, six months ago. I did not
succeed with Lord Palmerston in persuading him to
seize the vessel. I never entered into any communica-
tion with the officers of the Customs respecting the
seizure of the Bombay. I instructed my solicitors to
institute this prosecution some time ago. It is certainly
under my instructions that this prosecution has been insti-
, uted. I have communicated with the Consul on the
subject ; his name is .I. Minasi. I have seen Colonel
Aubrey twice ; perhaps it might have been on the sub-
ject of those proceedings. I have left the matter entirely
in the hands of my solicitors, and whatever bargains
have been made with witnesses for payment have not
been made by myself. I never spoke to Prince
Granatelli or Seuher Scalia in my life; nor have I had
any official communication with them. I have never
had any communication with the man Ronondo; I don't
know him. A great number of men have come to me
on this business, and I have always referred them to
my solicitors.
By Mr. M. CHAMBERS—I was not in Naples in 1812,
before the treaty of Vienna. I was not acquainted
with the constitution of Sicily at that time; I did not
know Lord William Bentinck. I was too young at
that time to know much of public affairs. I was at that
time serving in the British army. There are two
Chambers at Naples—the Chamber of Peers and the
Chamber of Deputies. I was formerly in Switzerland
in a diplomatic capacity. I went one evening to
see tho Bombay from the pier at Blackwall; that
was before the Customs officers seized her. She was
at that time lying in the East India Docks. The King
of the Two Sicilies has had a great number of vessels
built in England through my means. Mr. Pitcher has
built several war-steamers for him. There have been
no vessels built here within the last two or three years
for the King of the Two Sicilies. The ammunition for
those vessels was not provided here; it was furnished
at Naples. When those vessels were built the King of the
Two Sicilies was not at war with any Power; they were
built merely to keep up his navy. There are a great
number of English engineers in the navy of the King of
the Two Sicilies.
This was the case for the prosecution.
The Court then, at five o'clock, adjourned till to-mor-
row (this) morning.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 6.)

SUGAR.—To-day the New Sugar Duties came into
operation; still prices declined for all kinds; a reduction
of 6d per cwt has been submitted to for West India,
which caused only a small business to be concluded for
the pan or scale. The purchases amounted to 250 hhds,
&c., including 133 hhds 2 tres 30 brls Barbadoes, which
went at rather lower rates; good and fine yellow at 40s
to 41s, low and middling 38s 6d to 39s 6d per cwt. The
total purchases for the week are 900 hhds, Stc.
REFINED.—To-day there was greater activity in the
Refined Sugar market, and stiffer rates were obtained,
brown Lumps selling at 51s to 51s 6d, and fair grocery
52s to 52s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar was
rather more in demand at 28s to 29s per cwt, and the
market is firm.

supplied with Mauritius Sugar, and at public sale the 1
quantity offered amounted to 5695 bags; the whole sold,
but at a reduction of Gd per cwt on last week's rates;

low Ilavannah sold at 21$ 6d.
MoLesses.—The market continues firm for West
India, and full rates are asked, whilst imports continue
light, and deliveries are to a fair extent. There has,
however, been only small purchases made this week, and
17s to 22s is the value of low to fine quality. Bengal
Treacle has been dealt in with caution, and a desire is
evinced to sell at 163 Gd to 17s 6d per cwt for low to fine.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the public sales of Ceylon
Coffee consisted of 2,428 bags, and went at rather low
rates; Native, real good ordinary at 353 6d to 363, da-

77 bales 96 half bales Mocha sold for shipping at 54s to
54s 6d for middling greenish.
COCOA.—West India continues in excellent demand,
and former rates are well supported; there is only a
moderate supply at market, although the stock is larger
than in 1848 at this time. At public sale 200 bags
Trinidad were sold at 44s to 48s 6d for middling to fine
red, 42s 6d for fair grey, and 35s to 45s for damaged,
bags of sound Grenada at 403 6d to 42s for mid-
dling and good red, and 37s for grey. The market for
Foreign is still quiet.
TEA.—Public sales are declared f•-,r Tuesday, when
about 10,000 packages will be offered. In Congou
operations have been upon a large scale, and stiffer rates
are paid for the lower sorts, whilst the better kinds
realised fully former terms. The value of ordinary
and good common is 8d to 91, better sorts 101 to
Is 3d, superior and pekoe kinds is 4d to is 10d.
Green is held with firmness at full rates, and opera-
tions are upon an enlarged scale, more especially in
Hyson, Imperial, and Gunpowder. The market for
Tea has generally an improving appearance.
RICE.—To• day only small purchases were made by
private treaty in East India, and at auction 500 bags
of Bengal were taken in at 9s 6d for mid white, being the
full st' se.

2s 9d to 2s 101 for good mid brown, and which are firm
rates.
SPLRITS.—HoIders of Leeward Island Rum remain
firm, and at Is 4d to is 5d a fair business has been con.
eluded this week, w'silst the tendency of prices is to ad-
vance. East India has been sold to a fair extent at is
3d to is 3i-d, and th, a are not free sellers. For De-
merara the demand is good, and the parcels sold were
at 2s to 28 3d for 30 to 40 per cent. over proof.
The market is firm for Jamaica, and a fair quantity
has been purchased by home dealers and shippers, but
the better kinds are the most in demand. We quote
20 to 29 per cent. over proof at 2s 2d to 2s 4d, 30 to 36
over 2s 51 to 3s 3d, and choice marks 3s 4d to 4s. Fur

market has a firm appearance.

this week, and refrained from submitting any to pub-
lic sale. By private treaty a better demand has been
experienced for all purposes, and stiffer rates are paid.
Several parcels having been disposed of at from 25s 6d
to 27s ed per cwt for low to fine quality. Sales to a fair
extent have been made in British Refined at 29s 6d to
