had not informed her husband of having given
the authority to Painter to sign the note until
the prisoners were taken into custody on the
present charge. Witness received part of the money
which the prisoners obtained from the loan society, but
her husband had none of it.

Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, in summing np the ca,e, told
the jury there was no doubt if the note was signed by
the prisoner Painter with the name of Francis, without
his authority, that that was a forgery by him. Then
the other prisoner, Davis, being there, and then present
in (vier to assist him in getting the note to
be taken as a security in the name of Francis, he (Mr.
Justice Cresswell) should not hesitate to hold hat Davis
was a principal then present taking part in that transac-
tion, and was guilty of a forgery.
The jury found both prisoners Guilty, but reeom
mended them to mercy, when
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL sentenced Painter to imprison
ment for six months and Davis for nine months.

FRANCE

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night]:—
During the course of the sitting of the National
Assembly on Wednesday, the Minister for Foreig❑
Affairs gave the following explanation on the subj, et
of the invasion of Ferrara by the Austrians. lie said,
that several representatives having been pleased to
give him notice of their intention to address interpel-
lations to the Government, respecting the events at
Ferrara, he should meet their wishes by annpunc
ing to the Assembly that the Government had re-
ceived two telegraphic dispatches, dated respec-
tively the 24th and 25th of February, which had
brought intelligence of the evacuation of the ter-
ritory of Ferrara by the Austrian troops. The
Government had not received sufficient information
to enable them to give the Assembly more ample
explanation, nor to allow a discussion to be opened
on the subject. The Assembly then proceeded to
other business.

It is asserted that the French Government have
resolved to withdraw the troops from the island of
Otaheite.

The marriage of Genetal Cavaignac with Madame
Bauden, widow of the former Receiver-General and
banker of that name, is talked of in the fashionable
circles of Paris. Madame Bauden possesses a private
fortune, which is estimated at 3,000,000 francs
(120,0001.), and the hotel in the Rue de Varennes,
which the General occupied when he was chief of the
executive power, belongs to that lady.
The Austrian Government, anxious to be agree-
able to the Bonaparte family, have ordered to place at
its disposal the mortal remains of the Duke of Reich-
stadt, in order that they may be united with those of
the Emperor in the church of the Invalides.
By a decree of the President of the Republic, the
pupils of the military school of Saint Cyr, who were
expelled in consequence of their rebellious conduct
on December 20, will be re-admitted into the school
in October next, on producing favourable testi-
monials from the chiefs of their respective corps, and
will be placed in the first division, provided that on
examination they are found to possess the required
instruction.

A deputation of the clubs and secret societies of
Paris have left for Rome', together with a certain
number of retired officers, who are going to drill the
new republican militias of Central Italy.
The Electoral Bill having been read a second time
on Wednesday, the elections for the Legislative
Assembly must take place, on Sunday, the 29th of
April.

I withstanding the union of interests which existed between
their causes, the causes themselves were completely
different as to their object, and opposed as to their
means. What in Vienna was the triumph of democracy,
by means of insurrection, was in Hungary the defence
of the integrity of the country by the legal autho-
rities, reluctantly driven to war. The party who ad•
vocated the unity of the empire purposely confounded
these two movements; it imputed the events of the 6th
of October, at Vienna, to the Hungarian Government.
It has spoken of workmen excited to insurrection, of
sums of money distributed by the members and agents
of the Government of Pesth. But these assertions have
been positively contradicted by me in particular, and the
proceedings which have commenced at Vienna only
serve to expose their utter groundlessness. At this
moment the Austrian army occupies nearly a third of
Hungary; but it is already apparent that, if by
means of the bayonet, the amalgamatory ideas of the•
Vienna Cabinet triumph, Hungary can no longer be a
source of power to Austria. She will become her heal of
Achilles, the vulnerable part of the empire, the object of
everlasting military occupation, as Poland is to Russia.
The Hungarian question, looked upon in this point of view,
is closely connected not only with the future destinies of
the Austrian Empire, but with the great Eastern question,
that of the Danubian provinces, of Servia, of all the slave
population of the Turkish Empire—questions which are
over threatening the peace of Europe, and which can
never be peaceably settled but upon the basis of a
vast Eastern federation, under the influence of Aus-
tria. This federation should be the great object of
the policy of this empire, destined by the course of
her rivers and her geographical position to supplant
Russia in the protectorate of the East, instead of
obstinately persisting in continuing (notwithstanding
the exigencies of the times and the situation of Europe)
to strive for that of Italy and Germany. I have con-
sidered it my duty to endeavour to correct by these
statements the erroneous ideas of several journals upon
the Hungarian question—a question political, in no way
revolutionary—which can neither be decided by the
sword of Demtinsky, nor by that of Windischgratz.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
ARRIVAL OF THE COURT.
PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 2.—The Commander-in-Chief
and Admiral-Superintendent, with their flag-lieutenants,
crossed the harbour at half-past twelve to-day to re-
ceive the Queen and Court on their arrival from Lon-
don en route to Osborne. The Lieutenant-Governor
and staff also proceeded to the same post to tender the
homage of his office. Sir Edward Parry and the offi-
cers of the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard, together
with a guard of honour of Royal Marines, under the
command of Lieut.-Colonel Mercer, were also in at-
tendance. At half-past one, the royal train, in charge
of Mr. Stovin, the manager of the South Western
Railway Company, arrived in the yard, when the Court
alighted, and was escorted to the Fairy Royal yacht,
Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., by the
Admiral Commanding-in- Chief and Lieutenant- Govci-
nor, &c. The usual demonstrations were made of dress-
ing ship, manning yards, saluting, &c. The Royal
family landed at East Cowes pier (Trinity) as 2. 27,
P.M., and the royal standard on the summit of the
tower at Osborne denoted the arrival of the Court there,
at 2.39. P.M.
The Fire Queen steam-vessel, Mr. George Allen,
Master-Commanding, followed the Fairy to Osborne.
This vessel appears again in good working condition and
admirable order. Her speed at the last trial on the
measured space of Stokes's Bay has been officially re-
ported
at 14 knots per hour. She will carry the Royal
dispatches to and fro during the sojourn of the Court in
the island.
The Electra, 14, Commander Bouverie, landed the
Forth's mails last evening. Her orders for Plymouth
have been superseded by others for her to come into this
harbour and be paid off. The cause of this was, that
Commander Bouverie was under the necessity of repre-
senting to their Lordships the shattered state of his ship
from the late gales, having particular reference to the
gale of Wednesday, which she rode out, with two anchors
a-head, at St. Helen's, but which very nearly tore the
" bits " out, as a reasonable ground for not proceeding
to Plymouth. Their Lordships have consequently coun-
termanded the previous order, and sbe was towed into
this harbour this afternoon by the tug.
The Sappho, 12, Commander Michell, hauled off from
the hulk this morning, and will be ready to drop out to
Spithead to morrow.
In Port and Fitting—Victory, 22, Port Admiral's
flag-ship; Illustrious, 10, flag-ship to the Admiral Su-
perintendent; Victory and Albert Royal yacht; Rod-
ney, 92; Superb, 80; Excellent gunnery exercise ship;

less, and Bee steam tenders; Echo steam tug; Diligence

steam-sloop; Bloodhound, Urgent, and Sprightly steam-
packets.

Vindictive 50; Phoenix and Devastation, steam-sloops;
and Flying Fish, 1.2.
Wind, W. by S.; moderate breezes, and cloudy wea-
ther.

CHATHAM, MARCH 2.—The Elfin steam dispatch boat
has had her boilers put on board, and has been taken on
the third slip to have her deck closed in; she will be
completed next week, and will then be towed round to
Woolwich to be taken into the basin there to have her
engines fitted under the direction of Mr. Humphries, the
engineer.
The Adder steam-vessel, sent from Woolwich to this
port in November last, returned again to Woolwich on
Monday last.
Twenty smiths are ordered to be discharged from this
yard. At present there are employed in the blacksmiths'
shop 109 men, and they can hardly keep pace with the
shipwrights.
The following shipwrights have been superannuated
this week—viz., William Briggs and Joseph Bonnick,
each at 241. per annum; and James Sullivan, at 201.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, MARCH 2.
ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.—Soon after two
o'clock this afternoon, the Fairy yacht steamed into the
harbour, under salutes from the Castle, Royal Yacht
battery, and Mr. Roper's batteries; the ships and yachts
displayed their bunting. Her Majesty landed on
the Trinity-wharf at half-past two, and proceeded to
Osborne.
While the vessels were all making the best display,
the Stag manning yards, &c., the wreck of the Vibilia
was being towed in by the Solent: as the royal yacht
passed the sparloss hull the crew showed an English
spirit, and on an oar displayed the British flag.
During a heavy gale on Wednesday last the brig
Vibilia, of Blyth, Lambert master, from Shields for
Carthagena, laden with coals, brought up in West Bay,
the other aide of Portland, when the master, for the
preservation of their lives and property, cut away the
masts. She was eventually rescued by the Liberty, of
Weymouth, which proceeded to her assistance, and
providentially rescued them from the dangers of a lee
shore, and towed her to this port. When off St. Albans
she was spoken by the Defence, revenue cutter, which
assisted the Liberty in towing her. The brig has since
been brought into this harbour.
MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE COM-
MODORE OF THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.—SOOII
after the death of the late highly respected and deeply
lamented Earl of Yarborough, who it may be remembered
died on board his yacht the Kestrel, in Vigo Bay, while
on a cruise with her Majesty's experimental squadron, a
proposition was made for erecting a monument to his
memory, and a public subscription was entered into to
carry out this object, and a spot selected on Bembridge
Down, on the eastern part of the Isle of Wight, as a
suitable site, it being so situated, that while it served to
set forth the high estimation in which his Lordship was
held, and told his private worth and the nation's grati-
tude, it might be a beacon to the mariner to guide him
from the numerous dangers of the east end, and be a
valuable sea mark to ships bound in or out from Spit-
head. The requisite funds were soon subscribed, and
on Monday last the capping stone, which weighed five
tons, was hoisted into its berth. This was a difficult
operation, but was accomplished without any accident,
under the scientific direction and superintendence of
Mr. Rolt, the architect and constructor, to the great sa-
tisfaction of a large assemblage. The obelisk is beauti-
fully executed, being grand yet simple, very handsome
and well proportioned, the upper part being rustic
is a relief and good contrast to the base, and adds much
to the effect; the whole is constructed of Penryn granite
furnished by Mr. Gibson, its height is 75 feet, 14 feet
at the base, and 28 at the lower step, the lightning con-
ductor passing down the centre, which is an excellent
improvement, the panels are ready for the inscriptions
and as the spot will bo visited by thousands, we hope
that they may be so written that all may read. The old
Commodore was a fine old English gentleman the friend
of rich and poor, admired and beloved by all and should
have his rare merits told in his own native tongue; he
was called the general peace-maker, and whether in the
Royal Yacht Squadron, as a magistrate, a landlord, or
a neighbour, he always acted as such. He was a true
sailor and an enthusiastic yachtsman ever anxious about
the improvement of our naval architecture, and did much
to improve the build, rig and fittings of the numerous
yachts, the boast and pride of England's nobles and her
princely merchants, having himself had built some of
the finest that ever swam. He siudied not only the com-
forts of those at his own table but that of every man,
maid and boy, in his numerous establishment. The
marks and bearings of this "sea mark have not yet been
issued by the Trinity corporation, but as the site has
been judiciously selected for nautical purposes, it will
doubtless point out the situation of several shoals in the
vicinity, we believe it is to be with other cross bearings
a leading mark outside the 0 wers where other marks are
not visible, also a seamark for the Loo stream and the
Noman; it is distinctly seen from the hills above Cowes,
though 16 miles distant, and indeed from every elevated
spot in the island.
DESTRUCTIVE GALE.—During the gale on Wednes-
day, a stack of eight chimneys was blown down on to
the ;roof of the Prince of Wales Inn. It fell in one
mass on the rafters, which were fortunately of sufficient
way,svufficie nt
strength to support the load ; bad the roof
it is probable many lives would have been lost.gl The inn
is situated directly opposite the principal entrance to
Osborne Park. Another house in East Cowesec r Park,eidve
Which belongs to Mr. Cheeseman, of Brighton,
considerable damage in the roof, as did Mr. Fallow's, of
the Pauklibanon, in Baker-street. Numerous windows
were blown in during the gale, and much other damage
done. One of the noble elms was blow
i n down in Os-
borne Park, and much damage done n all parts of
the island.

THE KEITH MEMOIRS ..kND CORRESPONDENCE.—
Few historical works published of late years have
afforded such a variety of interesting documents from
the pens of distinguished persons as the " Memoirs and

penhagen, and Vienna, in the reign of George 111.
Amongst them will be found—Letters from Frederick,
King of Prussia; Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark;
Princes Ferdinand of Brunswick, Kaunitz and Czarto-
riski; the Dukes of Cumberland, York, Queensbery,
Montagu, and Newcastle; Lords Stormont, St. Asaph,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, March 2.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.

TUSCANY.
Lord BROUGHAM wished to know whether there
was any truth in certain reports, absurd and false reports
he believed them to be, that the British Consul had
given some countenance to the insurgents in Tuscany.
They had so stated in their manifestoes.
_ _

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said there was no
truth in these reports.
IRELAND.

The NOBLE MARQUIS then laid upon the tablo returns
of the fines and penalties imposed, under the Insurrec-
tion Act, upon certain counties in Ireland.

- NAVIGATION-LAWS.
Earl GREY presented a very important memorial
from the Assembly of Canada, on the subject of the
navigation-la vvs ; also various papers from other colonies,
on the same subject.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMAIONS, March 2.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter before
Four o'clock.

PRIVATE BILLS.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved for a return of the
number of private Bills deposited at the Board of Ad-
miralty under the Act 11th and 12th Vict. c. —, stating
the date at which each Bill was deposited; also the date
at which the consent or otherwise of the board was sig-
nified to the parties; and a similar return from the Office
of Woods and Forests.
DIVISION OF THE LIVING OF RICHMOND
AND KINGSTON-UPON-THAMES BILL.

On the order of the day being read, that this Bill be
read a second time,
Mr. LUSHINGTON had to declare his opposition to
the Bill. He found by this Bill it was proposed to divide
the Vicarage of Kingston and Richmond into two se•
parate parts. In tact, it was a sister Bill to the
Bill relative to the Whitechapel rectory. That Bill was
a job of Brazenose College, Oxford; and this Bill was a
job of King's College, Cambridge. Under the circum-
stances he would move that this Bill be read a second
time this day six months.
Mr. GOULBURN hoped the House would not reject
this Bill, the object of which was only to divide the living
and to appropriate the pew rents for the maintenance of
the incumbent.
Mr. L. KING did not understand there was any oppo-
sition to the Bill on the part of the inhabitants in the
neighbourhood.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading
Against the second reading 27
ajority for the seco reading —9
DUBLIN CORPORATION WATERWORKS BILL.
On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,
Mr. GROGAN moved that it be read a second time
this day fortnight.
Mr. REYNOLDS could not help expressing his asto-
nishment at his Hon. Colleague refusing his
permission to read the Bill a second time now.
There were two Bills, the Dublin Water
Works Bill, and the Dublin Improvement
Bill, fixed for the second reading to-day. Although he
was aware there was some difference of opinion on the
Dublin Improvement Bill, he did not know that there
was any difference of opinion with respect to the other.
It would save two discussions if a division were taken
on both the Bills.
Mr. S. HERBERT would vote for the Hon. Member
(Mr. Grogan's) amendment, for he was of opinion that
both the Bills should proceed pari passu before the same
Committee.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said it was most desirable to
put an end to those annual applications to Parliament
from the corporation and citizens of Dublin with
respect to the Bills before the House, which were
attended both to the parties applying and to the
parties opposing with very great expense. He would
support the adjournment to the day named by the Hon.
Gentleman opposite.
After a few words from Mr. John O'Connell, Mr.
Grogan, and Mr. Reynolds, strangers were ordered to
withdraw, and the House then divided, when there ap•
peared—

_
For the second reading of the Bill 35
Against it 93
Majority for the postponement of
the second reading —sB
The second reading of the Bill was consequently post-
poned for a fortnight.
