NAPLES AND SICILY.

The Bulldog steam• frigate left Naples for Palermo
on the 25th with new conditions of a more favourable
character. It was said that Mr. Tkairts apd M. DE
RETNEVAL would themselves, proceed to/ Palermo,
although it is not probable that the Sicilians will
accept any conditions short of absolute indagepdence.
The people are actuated by the most patriotic spirit.

scribing the doings in that city on the.l7th, will show
the state of feeling of the Sicilians with regard to

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, MARCH 30.—The supplies of wheat and
beans are large, and good of other articles. There is a mode-
rate business passing in wheat at the prices of this day se'n-
night. No change in the value of barley ; good English
being scarce, sells readily. Oats, shelling, and beans are on
very limited demand, and somewhat cheaper.

PETITIONS.

Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Canada,
praying for the repeal of the navigation•laws and fur
the imposition of the duty on foreign corn imported
in any way except by the way of the St. Lawrence.
Also a petition from Canada against the repeal of the
navigation-laws, and for the throwing open the naviga-
tion of the St. Lawrence. The Noble Lord also pre-
sented several petitions against the repeal of the naviga-
tion-laws, from the owners and occupiers of lands in
various parts of the kingdom; also from the colonists of
British Guiana, complaining of distress, of the failure
of the great measure of slave emancipation, against a
repeal of the navigation-laws, and praying for au altera-
tion in the constitution of the colony.
The Bishop of OXFORD presented several petitions
in favour of the Bill for the Protection of Women.
The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a petition
against the repeal of the navigation-laws, and besought
their Lordships to resist the measure of repeal, as there
was no pressure from without to urge it forward.
The Earl of EGLINTON presented several pe-
titions against the repeal of the navigation-laws.
The Earl of HARROWBY presented several peti-
tions against beer-houses.

The —Earl of ST. GERMANS presented a petition

for the superannuatio❑ of poor-law officers.
The Earl of GLENGALL moved for returns con-
nected with the administration of the poor-law in Ire-
land, but the Noble Lord spoke in so indistinct a tone
that the exact nature of his motion could not be ascer-
tained.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

---
Last night was the third Jenny Lind night of the
season, and notwithstanding the great heat of the
weather the crowd was as great, and the crush as ter-
rific as ever. The opera was the Figlia del Regyimento,
and never has Jenny Lind played the part with greater
spirit, with more thorough heartiness than last night.
Her singing, too, was as marvellous as ever, witness the
unsurpassable singing lesson—witness the glorious
Ratamplan. Gardoni sang the music of Tornio exqui-
sitely, and F. Lablache gave the part of the Sergeant
with rich humour. Her Majesty honoured the perform-
ante with her presence.

SUDDEN DEATH of MR. HORACE
TWISS.—(THIS DAY.)

We regret to state that this gentleman expired this
day between the hours of two and three o'clock under
circumstances most painful to those who witnessed his
last moments. Mr. Twiss, as a member and proprietor
of the Rock Life Assurance Company, in which he took
great interest, was at the annual meeting, held at
Radley's Hotel, Bridge.street, Blackfriars, in the act of
addressing the chairman upon the general management
of the society, and although he did not appear to be in
the least excited, he was seen to falter and gradually sink,
and ultimately to fall down in his chair. Several of
his friends present removed him from the room, but in
the course of their so doing he expired without a
struggle. Mr. Farr and other medical gentlemen were
sent for, but, on their arrival, it was found that their
assistance was of no avail.
The Hon. Gentleman, it was stated, bad, for a long
time, been impressed with the idea that he should, one
day or other, die suddenly, as he laboured under the
frightful disease of ossification of the heart, and, strange
to say, within two hours of his death, repeated the
same fact.

Mr. Tiffs' was, in addition to his justly and well-
received " Life of the Late Lord Eldon," the author of
many valuable contributions to the quarterly and other
magazines. His body will be removed to his own resi-
dence, it being considered by the authorities that an
inquest was unnecessary.

Grisi appeared last night as Norma for the first time
this season. She was in excellent voice and was encored
in all her principal morceaux, and honoured with re-
peated calls. Cerbari was an excellent Adalgisa,
and Salvi made of Pollio all that could be made of such
an unthankful part. All the principal artists were called
on at the conclusion of the opera.

STRIKE AMONG THE WEAVERS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In The Sun of yesterday appearedti report of
a strike among the weavers of this town, the cause of
which was therein assigned to be that a higher rate of
wages had been paid here than in any other part of the
country (Selkirk excepted).

In justice, I demand that you state through the same
medium that that report was premature and very im-
probable. The reduction proposed here is twenty-five
per cent., and although several attempts have been made
to ascertain what were the prices paid for the same
work in Alloa district, as yet no proper answer has been
given. Yesterday morning a deputation of workmen,
bearing a letter of introduction from the manufacturers
here, was dispatched thither to try to arrive at that in-
formation. This fact of itself proves that the report of
your former correspondent was both premature and
uncertain.

In justice to the workmen of Galashiels. I hope you
will grant the above a place in your paper, that so un-
reasonable a stigma may be wiped off their character.
I am your obedient servant,
Galashiels, May 2, 1849. G. ANDERSON.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 1346. Reader, remember, this letter was put let
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High-
gate fcr the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testiniefiy to"ths virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
at i 1 s, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
-9.11CC, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume id far
beyond any her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact *.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
is the toilet. In cases of neyous headache, pour tee or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of au
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few a.ppplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 3.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.

Petitions against the repeal of the navigation-laws
were presented by the Duke of Northumberland, the
Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Beaufort, and Lord
Beaumont.

The Marquis of SALISBURY presented petitions
from several inland towns situated in agricultural dis-
tricts, against the repeal of the navigation-laws.
The Bishop of GLOUCESTER, presented a petition
praying for Church education in Ireland.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petition with a simi-
lar prayer.
AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice of a motion
for the 11th of May on agricultural distress; and if the
existence of that distress should be denied he should
move for a Committee of Inquiry. If it should be ad-
mitted, he should ask what remedies were proposed to
meet it.

RAILWAYS.
Lord BROUGHAM presented several petitions from
various shareholders in the Wexford, Waterford, and
Wicklow Railway, praying for some measure for the
more efficient audit of railway accounts. He moved for
certain returns relating to this railway.—Agreed to.
ORGANIZATION OF LABOUR,
The NOBLE Lon) also presented a petition from the
trades of Londonderry, praying the House to
adopt measures to prevent the downward ten-
dency of wages in consequence of the competition
of labour, and for the appointment of a Minister of Labour.
Now this was just the absurd theory of Louis Blanc,
and the persons who would suffer the most for the adop-
tion of such a plan would be the petitioners themselves.
If there were no competition •f labour, there would be
no competition of capital, and if there were no competi-
tion of capital there would be no wages for labour. He
had the greatest respect for these petitioners, but the
greatest contempt for, and indignation against, those
who, knowing better, had misled them.
The NOBLE LORD also presented petitions against
the navigation laws.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Government had received a telegraphic dis-
patch announcing that the French troops were at the
gates of Rome, and that the Roman triumvirate were
negotiating with General OUDINOT for the surrender
of the city.
The French Government has received an official
announcement of the intervention of Russia in Hun-
gary. Russia justifies the intervention on the ground
that it is the only means of preventing an outbreak in
Poland; and the French reactionary Government,
after all its professions in favour of Polish nationality,
expressed itself sati3fied with this explanation, because
it justifies French intervention in Italy. Is France
then become already Cossack ? Is the cousin of the
Duke of LEUCHTENBERG the PRESIDENT of the French
Republic or the Proconsul of a Russian province ?

A letter from Toulon, of the 29th ultimo, states
that the steam-frigate the Labrador, bearing the flag
of Admiral TREHOVART, the Oronoque, the Panama,
and the Infernal, arrived in that harbour on the
28th ultimo, from Civita Vecchia. Immediately on
their arrival preparations were made to embark
5,000 infantry, two batteries of artillery, and some
squadrons of cavalry. It was expected that this
second expedition would be ready to sail for Italy on
the 2d instant.

BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, MAY 3.
TRREs o'CLocK.—There has been a great rise at the
Bourse to-day, caused partly by the' fatourable accounts
received from Italy, and partly by the amount of specu-
lation indulged in on the rise which is expected after the
elections. The accounts received of the intervention of
Russia in Austria have not created much alarm, as it
is believed to be with the sanction of Prussia. and pro-
bably of France also. Exchange on London (30 days),

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1349.

STUARTIVORTLEY'S Bill for the removal of
.he absurd and impolitic prohibitions against mar-
riage with a deceased wife's sister or niece was last
night 'discussed at some length in the House of
Comfit ms. On the question that the Bill be read a
second time the debate was adjourned until this
eveni): g, when it is to be hoped that the principle of
the m E asure will be affirmed by a clear and decisive
majority. It is difficult to understand upon what
grouru ds the resistance to this just and equitable
enacti3 Lent can be resisted, and most certainly its
oppons nts did not strengthen their position by any
argun3 ents adduced in the course of the discussion.
It is :a. imitted on every side that there is no Divine
law fot bidding such marriages, that the utmost that
could k e alleged is, that it is a mere matter of church
discipline, and therefore only binding upon the ITIOM
bers a f the church or churches in which it is
considi red objectionable. There can therefore be no
possibli reason why those who do not recognise that
authority, who in many respects honestly and con-
scientie usly object to its doctrines, should be coerced
to obey its dictates, and forbidden to form connexions
which t they seriously believe to be lawful and pro-
per. I 1 ;is a gross infringement on religious liberty,
a relic ( ,f the intolerance of past ages, which should
forthwi h be erased from our statute book. As
well is ight the Church by law established arrogate
to itse: If the right of enforcing a strict and
literal assent to all its canons, and insist upon
the m• x et stringent penalties being inflicted upon all
who 'Le fused to conform to its views. Religious
freedom has been achieved after a long and arduous
struggio, and no paltry remnant of the penal code
should 4;1 a retained for the purpose of gratifying the
London, England, 1849-05-04

perfectly competent to manage his own affairs, I was, of
course, satisfied of the high authority of these gentle-
men in everything relating to mental diseases, and re-
joiced that they could conscientiously state their unhesi-
tating belief in the soundness of his mind, but I never
attempted to influence their opinion, nor was I even pre-
sent at any of the examinations or consultations which
took place during Colonel Sombre's sojourn in London.
This is a plain and unadorned narrative of the facts of
the case. I feel that I have not acted improperly in any
respect, or in any manner derogatory to the character of
a man of honour and a gentleman, my conscience per-
fectly acquits me, and I can bear with equanimity the
taunts and sarcasms uttered by the venal tongues that
are willing to espouse any cause for which they may be
handsomely paid.
The errors committed by Colonel Dyce Sombre in his
own conduct of his case have been sufficiently commented
on, and have indeed constituted a most unjustifiable
ground for vilifying him even as a lunatic. But I would
ask the unscrupulous assailants of my character, whe-
ther these errors do not sufficiently prove that the ser-
vices which he is presumed to have purchased from me,
were essential, in kind, to his struggle for emancipation?
I have the honour to remain, Sir,
Your most obe6ient ser►ant,
A. S. MAHON.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
japer on Aug. 7, MG. Reader, remember, this letter was put tat
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
:unity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoxe, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair onher head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley Inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
aegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an l is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
e..rience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, are w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mane it strong, nsA
,)revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
aair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as
hour. In most CANS relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
oansphlet of testimonials.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sits,—Previous to seeing your article respecting the
Hungarian. Testimonial, I had written to Lord Dudley
Stuart to inquire if he would receive subscriptions for
the same purpose. Having received an answer in the
affirmative, I this morning remitted to him 71. 6/. pro-
ceeds after paying expenses (which amounted to 61. 95.),
of a collection taken at a meeting last night in New-
castle. The meeting was an event; the doors were be-
ieged by hundreds before the time, and hundreds were
unable to get-,in. A series of such meetings throughout
England w•inld have a European significance.—l am,

TO THF: EDITOR OF THE SUN.

rejolce t., find your success has been so sig-
nal, and I 'night say complete, for cannot think your
noble object on behalf or the Hungarian hussars who
have lately been cast upon our shores, is otherwise than
tiecotn plish ed.

Never did a heart stirring appeal to a generous
British public, like that which appeared in the c°lumns
of your excellent paper of the other day, remain un-
answered; their hands and heart are ever ready to assist
the needy and oppressed. Nobly has the appeal been
made and nobly will it be answered, for truly this is a
cause worthy of Englishlien and their liberality. I
would here remark that a mere temporary relief could
Dot assuage the misery of these unfortunate men, whose

nave indirectly called them the other night, in reply to a
question put by our veteran Reformer Mr. Hume. An
insurrection tak -is place when the inabitants of a nation
rise unprovoked to rubvert it, just laws and institutions.
Is this the case now iu Hungary. No. The voices of
all patriotic men cry aloud, no, although those who
hold the reins ofou r government may tacitly say yes.
That there is treason of the deepest dye in
:his ,idf4ir no reasonable man doubts, but it is the
tress to of the Auzccrats against the rights of Hungary;
they ought to be tried and condemned by a European
tribunal, and punished accordingly. The foregoing
Teaks the sentiments of thirty individuals from one
establt4hment, whose subscriptions with Any own are
herewith forwarded, and had our means been t coal to
our will, they would have been as many pounds as they
are now shillings. I sincerely, thank you fur myself and

Accounts from Rome a tribute the approaching
surrender of the city to the fact that the ammunition
of the Romans was exhausted. For two days betore
overtures were ma le to °opus(); they had been
firing glass bottles filled with pieces of iron and com-
bu,tihles at their assailants.
The Roman Monitor of the 27th ult. says it is
right that all hlunpe should know that the bullets
and bombs of the French continue to be di-charged
without distinction on all such parts of Rome and its
people as they can reach. To say that the defenders

of Rune are toreignPrs is a gross calumny. If a few
Frenchmen have taken up 4rtns ti)r us they are not

TAM' S.

Percy St. John's tale of the French Revolution,
" Miranda," is concluded this month. The interest
is kept up till the very last. True to his republican
sympathies, the author represents Robespierre as the
instrument of the hero's preservation from death, and
the heroine's happiness ; and the last lines assure us
that Miranda, noble-burn though she was, lived and
died " a devoted admirer of the great French Revo-
lution, which did much evil, but far more good." The
political opinions expressed in " Miranda will find
a general echo in these democratic times.; neverthe-
less but few republicans even, will, we think, go so
far as Mr. St. John, in approving the execution of
Louis. We congratulate the author of "
.Miranda'
on the conclusion of this spirited historical tale.
" The Modern Vassal "is continued and increases in
interest. The situation of the proud young Seignior
reduced to servitude is happily conceived and forcibly
described.

In heart, soul, thought, taste, and feeling one of NAture's
lyrists, one of her most inspired musicians, must have
felt that there was a mutual, a reciprocal charm reflected
from music on the singer, as well as bestowed by the
sin4er on music, when ho penned that beautiful com-
parison of the sound of a cultivated human voice to

ditties highly ptnned
Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bower
With ravishing division to her lute."

with a forbearing, gentle, and subinissivn wife. Bat it

his favourite dog, and white caressing and playing with
