ITALY.

The Statuto of Florence, of the 25th ult., has
advices from Rome and Civita Vecchia up to the
23d. On the 22(1 Mr. D'HARCOURT proceeded to
the French camp, and then set out for Gaeta. In
the evening M. LESSEPS returned to Rome, to give
the Assembly an answer to their propositions. A
condition has been stipulated that eight days' notice
be given before hostilities are resumed on either side.
The Roman_ expedition had arrived at Terracina;
the Neapolitans had evacuated that place also. The
Magellan landed a squadron of dragoons at Civita
Vecchia on the 22d. The Neapolitan Government
has officially announced that it resumes the old Nell:
politan flag with the Royal arms. GARIBALDI is at
Rimini concentrating troops, for the pure ;se of
making a stand against the Austrians at La Cattolica.
Colonel ZAMBECCARI is at Ancona.

The Gonfaloniere of Ascoli has published a procla-
mation, in which he bestows praise on his fellow-
citizens for the gallant defence of the town against
the Neapolitans on the 11th ult. Imola, Faenza, and
Forli have been occupied by the Austrians.
The Saggiatore of Turin of the 28th ult. states
that the King of SARDINIA is recovering from his ill-
ness. The number of Austrian troops occupying
Florence is 19,000.
The Riforrna of Lucca of the 25th ult. states that
many arrests have been made at Leghorn. The con-
tribution levied upon that city by the Austrians has
been sent to Vienna.

The Conternporaneo of Rome, of the 22d instant,
contains the totlowing statement relative to desertion
amongst the French troops :
" W hy," asks this journal, " do soldiers every day de-
sert the flag of France in order to enrol themselves under
that of the Roman Republic? The reply to that question
was given by one of two deserters who presented them-
selves to-day. The French officer, Thenard, met them
at the war-office, where be had arrived on a mission
from General Oudinot. Why do not you return to the
camp said he to them ? Because we are Republicans.
Is not France a Republic, said M. Thenard? No, re-
plied one of the deserters. The Republic is here, and
not in France T This fact needs no commentary, and
we publish it for the honour of the brave soldiers who
have been so unworthily deceived by their Government."
The following energetic and well 'timed refutation
of the odious calumnies, which the Jesuit emissaries
of Gaeta have been with untiring zeal circulating
throughout Christendom against the Roman Republic,
has been addressed to M. de Lesseps by the Triumvir
Mazzini

" Monsieur,—You ask me for some notes on the actual
state of the Roman Republic; I present them with that
frankness which I have observed during twenty years of
political life. We have nothing to conceal, nothing to
di-guise. We have been in latter days greatly calum-
❑iated in Europe, but we have ever said to those by
whom we were libelled, • Come and see.' You are now
here, Monsieur, to verify the reality of these accusations.
Do so; and let your mission be accomplished in full and
entire liberty. We hail it with joy, for it is our best
guarantee.

" Without doubt France does not refuse us the right
of governing ourselves as we think proper. It does not
seek to tear from our entrails the principle of life, and
to thwart our wishes. France can only mean to
say to us, We recognise your independence as the
free and spontaneous voice of the majority. Having
obligations towards the other European Powers, and
anxious for peace, if it were true that a minority op-
posed the general opinion—that your Government
was but the caprice of a faction, contrary to the general
feeling, we could not permit, so far as lay in our power,
the peace of Europe to be constantly placed in danger by
the excesses and follies which must necessarily charac-
terise the rule of a faction.' Sir, we respect public
opinion in France, and we believe in the communion of
nations for the general good; but we say, if ever there
was a Government arising out of the wishes of a majority
and supported alone by it, our Government is that.
" The Republic has been planted amongst us by the
wish of an Assembly chosen by universal suffrage. It
has everywhere been accepted with enthusiasm. No-
where has it met with opposition. Remark, Sir, that in
no circumstance was it more easy to make an opposition.
I admit, though not excited by our acts, that it was pro-
voked by exceptional circumstances, particularly unfa-
vourable to the first position that we occupied.
" The country then arose from a long anarchy of
powers inherent in the organization of the deposed Go-
vernawnt. The agitation inseparable from all changes,
fomented at the same time by the difficulties of the
Italian question, and the intrigUes of the retrogrades, had
created a state of febrile excitement, which made us ac-
cessible to every appeal to passion and interest. We
had- 110 army, no repressive force, and, in consequence
of anterior dilapidations, our finances were in the very
orst state. The religious question, managed by expert
hands, served as a pretext to mislead a people gifted
with magnificent instincts and aspirations, but not
much enlightened; and, nevertheless, the instant the
Republic was proclaimed order was established. The
history of the Pepsi Government is known by its dis-
ordf rs, not a single enitute has occurred under the Rd-
public. The assassination of M. Rossi was deplorabfe,
but is was isolated. It was the act of an individual,
detested and condemned by every one, provoked pro-
bably by imprudent conduct, and arising from causes of
which we are still in ignorance. It was followed by the
most complete tranquillity.
" The financial crisis was at its height. At one moment
the paper money of the Republic by shameful artifice fell
to 42 discount. The attitude of the other European and
Italian Governments became more hostile; material
difficulty arose; but the people bore all calmly; it had
faith in the future arising from the new principle pro•
claimed.

" In consequence of obscure menaces, but chiefly from
ignorance, a certain number of electors had not con-
tributed to the selection of the National Assembly. This
fact tended to weaken the expression of the general voice;
but another unexpected circumstance solved the doubts
arising from that fact. A short time before the election of
the Triumvirate, a selection of municipalities took place.
Every one voted. In all countries the municipal element
represents the conservative element of the State. With
us it was at one moment feared that it would represent
a retrograde principle. The storm arose ; it was said
that the R?publie had only a few days more to live, but
that was the moment when the municipalities of them-
selves gave in their adhesion to the form of go-
vernment we had chosen. During the first fortnight
of the month, in addition to the addresses of the
clubs and the National Guards, have been added, with
three exceptions only, those of all the municipalities.
I send you the list. They all express the most complete
devotion to the Republic, and their profound conviction
that two powers united under one head are impossible.
This I offer as a positive fact. It is a second proof,
completing the first in the most potent manner, and
confirming in every respect the truth of our position.
" To-day, in the midst of this crisis, in fear of a
French, Austrian, and Neapolitan invasion, our position
is ameliorated—our credit has improved, our paper is
discounted at 12 per cent., our army is increased, and
the entire population behind us is ready to rise up. You
see Rime with your own eyes, and you have heard
of the heroic combat of Bologna. I write alone, during
the night, in the midst of the most profound calm, aft 4 I
find that at midnight our gates, our walls, our barricades
are provided with brave defenders by the passing along
of a single word, without noise or alarm.
" There is at the bottom of every heart a determination
the most propound to accomplish the destruction of the
temporal power of the Pope. All bear the same hatred
to the government of priests, urd,T whatever form it
may be presented. I say hatred, not to men, but to the
government. Towards individuals our people, thank
God, since the commencement of the Republic, have ever
been generous; but the idea of a clerical government, of
a pontiff king, sets us in a rage. We shall fight to the
last against all projects of a restoration. Right and left
are agreed. All with one voice exclaim, 6 The temporal
power of the Pope is at an end.'
" With such a population what is to be done? Is
there a free people that can assume to itself the right to
compel it to receive a deposed Government? A return
to old forms would be the destruction of the country.
The struggle of secret associations would commence;
anarchy would prevail in the bosom of Italy; reaction
would take place, and vengeance would be engrafted in
the hearts of a people who only wish to forget. It will
be the brand of war lighted in the centre of Europe. It
will be the declaration of extreme parties, disgracing
the Government of republican order, of which we are to-
day the organs.

France does not desire this great calamity—neither
its Government, nor its chief, the nephew of Napoleon.
AbDve all, it is not in presence of an Austrian and Nea-
politan invasion that she can persevere in so odious a
policy. Should you do so, there will be something in
your conduct which will remind the world of the hideous
conspiracy against Poland in 1772. Moreover, there is
an impossibility of success even it France desired it. The
flag raised by the will of the people can only be displaced
by the ruin of cur cities, and by the total destruction of
the people. " Masan."

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—The following gentlemen
passsed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to prac'ise, on Thurs-
day last:—Thomas Bryant, Kennington-common;
William Cater, Northwold, Norfolk; Charles James
Shearman, Rotherham; George Hulme Beaman, King-
street, Covent-garden.
THE GREAT SEAL.—It is rumoured that in conse-
quence of the contintied indisposition of the Lord
Chancellor, the great seal is to be placed in commission.
The commissioners are, it is said, to be Lord Campbell,
Hr. Baron Rolfe, and the Solicitor-General.
THE POET LAUREATE.—We had yesterday the
gratification of seeing the venerable poet, Wordsworth,
walking in Broad-street, of this city, and a ere glad to
observe him looking so well, considering his advanced
age. He arrived by the Worcester mail, and after visit-
ing the Cathedral, &c., proceeded, we understand, by the
Hay coach on a visit to relatives in the neighbourhood
of Witney.—Hereford Journal.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The weekly balance sheet of the Bank of England to
the 26th ultimo, only serves to confirm what we have re-
cently brought so prominently under the notice of our
readers, viz., the extreme abundance of money and the
difficulty of employing it. The unemployed assets of
the corporation were larger, the circulation being di-
minished and the bullion increased, but we recognise, as
a more favourable feature, the continued reduction of
private balances. A comparison with the previous week
gives the following results:—

The Foreign Exchanges were firm yesterday after-
noon. Bills at 90 days were negotiated on Paris at 25,
65 to 70; or, Amsterdam it 12:2 to 2i; on Hamburgh
at 13: 12i- to 13; and on Trieste at 12: 20 to 30.
Three has been more lire in the Produce markets this
week, and the Export demand has increased for Sugar.
While the continent is -so unsettled we may expect a
good deal of indirect business of this kind, and our free-
trade policy will, in fact, greatly promote it; the capital
and enterprise of British merchants bringing here
abundant supplies of all articles, from which foreign
buyers can make their choice at discretion, and for
limited amounts from time to time, as required.
During the week to Thursday last the bullion shipped
direct from London comprised silver only, viz., 34,000
ounces to Belgium, 88,000 ounces to Holland, and 6,500
ounces to Hamburgh.
Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury report of the Lon-
don produce markets for the past month that the arrivals
have been extensive, the supplies by importers free, and
the deliveries satisfactor3.
From the Amsterdam Bourse we are advised of a
decline in prices, owing to the heaviness of the French
Funds. At Berlin prices were rising, and at Frankfort
they were steady.
The English Stocks have been per cent. higher this
morning, with a moderate business doing. Consols have
been 91k *, and are now 91k to 92. The New Three-
and a-Quarter per Cents. have been done at 91 to I.
Exchequer-bills are 455. to 48s. premium. India Stock
has been firm at 2511.
The Foreign Securities are also rather better, although
there is not a great deal doing. Spanish Five per Cents.
are 17 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 33i 1. Mexican
Bonds are 27f to 27k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents, are nominally 49 to 50.

Railway Shares have been very steady, and in some
cases higher, with a quiet market.

aadeats to-day in this case, on behalf of the defendant

The

he VICE-CHANCELLOR proceeded to give judgment.
th, paid that the course that had been taken at
r. '0 with respect- to the defendant Strange
!littered it unnecessary for him to observe
you the case before the Court so far as con-
ertte,
1, Mr. Strange on the present occasion. The man-
Ji4l Proceeding, however, that had been elected by Mr.
th, e,i prevented him from being silent on the subject of
theuPleading and evidence, so far as they related to him, ,
iat gh after the discussion wkich took place upon
gptellocatory applications in the cause, with re-
blu)cit to the substance of the suit, it would pro-
fit r not be right to enter again in much detail
A e '0 matters of fact or law, since not only
of re the circumstances upon which he formed his belief
tionst had taken place when he continued the injunc-
, established, but that opinion, that strong suspicion,
"hiell he
.thought himself then not warranted to act
tie; u judicially, was clearly proved—he. meant the par-
b tie;
of Mr. Judge knowingly in that which, to
-.815 the mildest expression, was a breach of trust.
e ease of Mr. Judge was one of entire and midis-
-'difftabled dishonesty. There might be probably a legal
etence between the act of a man who bought from a
,gh
onest servant good
stolen by the serant from his mas-
ter,' and the act of Mr. Judge in acquiring from Middle-
ICI ender the circumstances and in the manner in which
rai-,elidfte had acquired the d.isputed impressions, there
Ai,tt.he legally such a difference, but morally and
eafritulY lhere was none. It now appeared clearly that
)4...-r-I.,dge obtained the impressions from Middleton,
bie;:uege well knowing the connexion subsisting be-
Middleton and Brown. It appeared that

and authorship of the works in ques-

feteent of the defendant Judge to be well-
it toed—assuming it to be open—he apprehended
ext: be entirely without materiality; for if in
ferdelle strictness protection ought not to be af-
te‘u in the present case, it must in the intor-
pi„.oll that had been filed, and for the purposes of the
lii:ent decree, the suit and information must be con-
k lea as one. Still if the defendant was desirous that
grant 4eaguage of the injunction to be continued or now
te4,ed should be framed upon an extreme and close at-
-1,,,4,011 to the state of things, his Honour thought he
shlilld be entitled to have it done, and it should be done.
pi7stantially, however, the defendant must remain per-
k:3l.ly

ttiv.undee the further prohibition under which Mr.

THE MAGAZINES.
BLACK WOOD.

Glorious old Christopher is back again ! as hale as
ever 1 as eloquent as ever ! hobbling on his crutch
over the purple carpetting of the heather at the foot
of the Cruachan ! Noctes Ambrosiance were his
former outpourings. Dies Boreales are those of
which he has given us his first libation. It was last
"Christopher in his Shooting Jacket." It is now
" Christopher under Canvass." Any way he is a el.
come, and cordially do we give him All hail ! his
meet royal greeting. But first of the " Caxtons."
For the "Caxtons" are no new-fangled acquaintance
either, but old favourites, endeared to us by thirteen
instalments of Blackwood. After closing the seventy-
ninth chapter, we have scarcely self possession to talk
of the merits of the present portion of the narrative
deliberately. With the conclusion of that chapter the
story arrives at a crisis of breathless interest. If we
had the shifting of the zodiac, we half suspect we
should be inclined to "skip' June this year—thirst-
ing as we do for the continuation of the tale
in the July number. Hitherto we have heard
it objected to the " Caxtons" that the contribu-
tion is almost wholly devoid of that first and
chiefest ingredient for the concoction of a ficti-
tious history—interest. Henceforth the objection
cannot hold good. For, here, as in so many previous
instances, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has shown his
masterly power of exciting curiosity in the minds of
his readers. Scarcely any of his previous works
contain an incident of more exciting " interest" than
the one which here threatens to destroy the hopes of
Pisistratus and the happiness of Fanny Trevanion.
The only comparable passages in our recollection are
—the escape of the forger in " Night and Morning ;"
the scheming of Lumley Ferrel-5 immediately before
the cicse of" Ernest Maltravers ;" the tarrying of
the guests at Lord Mauleverer's, when Brandon is
expected to arrive from the trial of "Paul Clifford ;"
or the flight of "Pelham" from the dwelling-house
of the thieves, and cut-throats when old Brimstone
Bess makes a " grab" at the throat of the " exquisite,"
and Fib Fakescrew hinges at him with his sword
amid yells of—" Crash the cull—down with him
before he dubs the jigger—Tip him the degan—
Fake him through and through—lf he pikes we
shall all be scragged." In the present instance,
however, we have to do neither with slang, or foppery,
or highwaymen, or forgers—but with the apparent
abduction of the daughter of one of the Ministers of
the Crown, by the secretary of Mr. Trevanion, that
Gower, alias Vivian, whom we have all along sus-
pected, and whom we now more than ever suspect to
be the lost and reprobate son of old Captain Roland.
Within the May number of Blackwood the story of
the " Caxtons" has progressed wonderfully, although
almost imperceptibly. Pisistratus has, like an adept
,in diplomacy, persuaded his father, his mother, his
uncle, and his little cousin to look nearly with cheer-
ful complacency upon his prospective emigration to
Australia. Every preparation is made : he has in-
troduced himself to his partner in the speculation, one
Guy Bolding, a capital fellow, nho only exclaims
whenever he gets into a pickle (which he does often)
that it's " Such Fun." Besides this, Pisistratus has
secured several subordinate "helps" towards his pro-
jected settlement—the newly-married son of his
uncle's shepherd - a brave rascal of a poacher
bight ; and a convalescent mechanic
named Miles Square—a character drawn with a
masterly hand, and forming the type of a vast class
of our fellow-countrymen. Captain Roland and
Pisistratus go up to town to arrange about the
voyage; and there the latter has an interview with
Lady Eleanor, the close of which is exquisitely
touching, when it is said, " the great struggles of
life are limited to moments." Chapter the seventy-
eighth—a brief one—is beautifully written, picturing
Roland in sorrow, leaning over THE BOOR. Subse-
quently Pisistratus discovers a rare piece of villany
on the part of his quondam friend and protege
Vivian. Having succeeded his patron as secretary
to Mr. Trevanion, and introduced his "creature,"
Mr. Peacock, into the household of his employer as a
flunky, Vivian, otherwise Gower, has formed an
atrocious plot for the abduction of Miss Trevanion,
the heiress. The narrative breaks off at the critical
moment when everything is in confusion. Besides
these aids towards the denouement, it must be men-
tioned that, in the present instalment, we hear of the
premature death of Lord Castleton, the betrothed of
Fanny Trevanion ; and find that Sir Sedley Beau-
desert has, to his grief and lamentation, succeeded to
the Alarquisate. Neither must we overlook that odd,
absurd, natural, Shandean chapter, tending nothing
towards the advancement of the plot—on " House-
tops." This reminds one of Sterne's memorable
" Chapter on Whiskers." So much for the " Caxtons."
Dies Boreales, otherwise " Christopher under Can-
vass," being the initial chapter of a long series, af-
fords the opportunity of our doing no more than
welcoming back again with our awhole heart the
portly presence of King Christopher. In hailing his
return to his old dominions we h el somewhat as must
have felt the Cavaliers on the 29th of May, when,
stepping on the shores of Dover, the whole Stuart
dynasty returned in Charles the Second. Yet
have we had no Roundheads in the interim,
though albeit the contributors have formed a noble
Commonwealth, with Bulwer-Litton, and Alison,
and Warren, and Aytoun, conspicuous amongst them.
Still, even with such rulers in the interregnum—
when once the regal crutch of Professor Wilson is
raised, the foremost men amongst them all own their
allegiance. It is thus that we greet the venerable
North when he comes back discoursing his pearls of
morality and his precious stones of wisdom in his
conversations with Buller and Seward. The intro-
duction gives illustrious promise, and the criticisms
on Homer and Milton, the distinctions between poetry
and prose, and the descriptions of mountain scenery,
are in the author's best style and loftiest spirit. Say-
ing thus much, we leave Christopher for a while, with
a benison. We still miss the continuation of Mr.
Warren's biography of Sir Astley Cooper, and wax
impatient. Howbeit we should not show ourselves
exacting, being all but do) ed to repletion with good
things in Blackwood. Here, besides the contributions
by such men as Sir Bulwer Lytton and Professor
Wilson, we have a fine-spirited argument upon the
wrongs done to Hungary by Austria, to which paper
we refer more at length in our leading columns ; a
clever, though somewhat atrabilious article, called
" Letters to the Rev. Charles Fustian ;" a chapter on
the " Romance of Russian History," suggested by
the new work of M. A. Blanc, and by a passage in
the translator's preface to Lajetchnikoff's " Heretic ;"
a paper on " Feudalism in the Nineteenth Cen-
tury," and an inquiry into the causes of the " Civil
Revolution in the Canadas !" Need we say that this
number is a number in every respect worthy of
Maga ?
