Yesterday being Sunday, the General Commander-
in-Chief, accompanied by the other Generals and officers
of the General Staff, attended mass at the Basilica of
Lateran, the metropolitan church of Rome and of the
Catholic universe. The Very Reverend Chapter received
him with all the honours due to the representative of a
nation, who looks upon him with especial consideration.
The Chapter afterwards offered Genial Oudinot a col-
lation which he deigned to accept. At this collation ho
gave the following toast:--' To the health of the ILI:
Father. May the generous sentiments of our venerable
Pontiff never find an obstacle in their application. May
he live long, surrounded by the love of his subjects, as

enthusiastic applause."

to the address which the deputation of Lucca pre-
sented to him at Viareggio

"I receive with satisfaction and thankfulness the ex-
pression of the sentiments of devotion and fidelity of
the population of the city of Lucca, which has never been
behind the other cities of Tuscany in co-operating in the
restoration of constitutional monarchy. The wishes you
express to me are in harmony with mine, and I desire
nothing more than to see the moment soon, arrive in
which they will be crowned, without missing the object
of our common efforts, namely, the interests of dignity,
of well-understood happiness, and of the real advantage
of our dear Tuscans!"

SONG TO MY READERS.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
Here's a health to the many, the kind and the true,
Who have gallantly helped me along;
Ye have done what I warmly besought ye to do,
And replied to my hope and my song.
Though ye know and know well, what this spirit must
feel
'Neath the laurels ye gave me to wear,
Yet it surely hecometh the breast to reveal
Its thanksgiving as well as the prayer.
Ye have frankly stood forth, ye hare praised, ye have
cheered,
Ye have made me triumphantly vain;
For though sympathy's links bad allied and endeared,
Ye seem now to have fastened the chain.
I had built my hope's creed on your word and your deed,
And the voyage my bark has achieved,
Shows how earnest and true were the trustworthy crew
And the compass in which I believed.
I can render ye nought but the plain-spoken truth,
That outpours in this ballad-line flow,
But ye welcomed such lines in my earliest youth,
And I know ye will list to them now.
Let them say that till heaven takes
.13ack what it gave,
And I sleep 'neath the yew shadowed sod,
Not a wandering sound of my harp shall be found,
Save it breathes for " the people" and God.
Let them tell that the Future shall better the Past,
That devotion will sweeten my labour,
That my working shall be, to set human love free,
And make each one at peace with his neighbour.
Let them promise the utmost my power can yield
To shed light on the bosom and brow,
Let them proffer my thanks for the coveted field,
Where in time a fair vineyard may grow.
Ye have granted me all that I care to possess,
Ye have taken my " posy" to cherish,
Ye nurture its bloom in your wide " household room,"
And have proved you will not let it perish.
Then a health to the many, the kind and the true,
Who have gallantly helped me along,
But be sure that this heart must e'er fail to impart,
Its full measure of Gratitude's Song.

MIDDLEsi:X SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before theASSISTANT-JUDGE.)

James Aidlet, a elaughterman, was indicted for
stealing 45:bs. of fat, the property of J. N. Carpenter,
a carcase-butcher, at Cow-cross.
It appeared that the pris•mer (who received to-day a
most excellent character from an employment which he
had held for sixteen years, and who, having been ad-
mitted to bail in a high amount upon this charge. has in
the meantime been employ( d by one of his securities)
was seen by a policeman, about half-past six in the
morning in the last week of July, turning a wheelbarrow
oat of the slaughter-house of the prosecutor. fie
examined the contents of the barrow, and found that
they consisted of the fat in question, covered by a thin
coat of dung, sufficient to conceal it from view.

The defence put forward by the prisoner, for whom
Mr. Payne appeared, was. that he had been sent for the
fat by one Brake, a confidential servant of the prose-
cutor, who gave him the key.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in summing up, observed,
that notwithstanding the good character, it was not easy
to get over the suspicious character of the fact that the
valuable contents of the barrow were concealed under
the dung.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Judge,
giving him the benefit of his character, sentenced him
only to 14 days' imprisonment.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before THOMAS PUCKLE, E.g., and a full Bench of

Magistrates.)
Daniel Kite, 16, was indicted for breaking into the
dwelling-house of Alexander Rodie, at- Farleigb, near
Croydon, and stealing therefrom a pie, two handkerchiefs,
and a plated watch-guard.
The prosecutor deposed that on the evening of the
11th ult. he went to see a friend at a little distance from
h 6 home, leaving his house perfectly secure and well-
fastened; on his return at ten o'clock he found that a
shutter had been removes at the back, and that some
person bad entered the house. He then discovered that
the property mentioned in the indictment had been
stolen. Information was instantly given to the police,
and shortly afterwards the prisoner was apprehended.
A police constable of the P division said that he ex-
amined prosecutor's premises, and felt satisfied that
some young person had committed the robbery. He
made inquiries and ascertained that the prisoner had
offered the watch-guard for sale at Croydon; consequently
he took him into custody.
In defence the prisoner said he found the things.
The jury found him guilty of stealing, and the Court
sentenced him to six months'- hard labour at Guildford.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.
DAyO

This morning a commission de lunatico inquirendo was
opened at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house, before Win-
slow, Esq., to inquire into the state of mind of Charles
Dean, aged 88, a gentleman of independent property,
late of Maiden Bridge, Enfield, and now a prisoner in
Whiteeross-street Prison.

Mr. Asbury, a surgeon at Enfield, stated that he had
known Mr. Dean for thirty years, and for the last twelve
months he considered his intellect very much impaired,
and he entertained a delu.ion that he was a poor man,
and had no property. On the 17th April he did not
know the witness, and he said he did not know what
prop.rty he had, and could not manage it. Witness
considered for the last twelve months that the mind was
failing, nut it was not till March or April that he came
to a positive conclusion that the unfortunate gentleman
was of unsound mind, from lobs of memory through old
age. lle saw him again in June, when his opinion was
confirmed. The unfortunate gentleman was then in
prison, and thought he was in an hotel. Other evidence
was adduced, and the jury returned a verdict in accor-
dance therewith.
