the vessel. When I shipped I understood the vessel was
going up the Mediterranean. I sailed under Captain
Bingham, to whom I was introduced by Captain Moody.
Captain Bingham commanded the Vectis part of the
tine- I was in her, viz. till we arrived at Palermo. The
ship's articles were read by Captain Bingham and Cap-
tain Goss. There were two Sicilian officers on board,
one of whom was named Castello. I did cot knew the
nsme of the other. We had thirty-five seamen on board.
We sailed on a Saturday morning in March, the second
or third day after I saw Captain Moody. We put into
Lisbon, some repairs being necessary to be made iu the
engine. We remained at Lisbon three days; we went
thence to Gibraltar. We remained several days off
Gibraltar. We bad a little cargo to put on beard
the quarantine ship. Costello used to be Cap-
tain. He seemed to take the command of the
vessel occasionally out of Captain Bingham's hands.
Costello sometimes altered the course of the vessel,
and seemed to have the superior command. We
did not touch at Malta. We did not go direct to
Palermo from Gibraltar; we went direct to the island of
Sicily, off which we lay for some little time. Captain
Costello went away from the ship in the lifeboat to see
if Palermo was blockaded. He boarded another vessel;
he returned aed put the vessel round in the direction of
the north -west of the island of Sicily, having first
brought a lot of Sicilians on board, so many as nearly to
sink the vessel. The Sicilians were of all classes, from
the priest to the pauper.—(Laughter.) The Sicilians
brought a flag on board; it was a tricoloured flag, with
three legs of a man in the middle and a man or woman's
face, I could not tell which —(Laughter.) We made
for Palermo afterwards, and in our way we fell in with
a small steamer; we then hoisted the Sicilian flag. The
Oriental Company's colour flag was flying from the
" gaff" of the mainsail ; it was the company's private
signal, in the shape of a diamond. Before we got into
Pelermo we lowered the co upany's signal, and hoisted
a Sicilian signal instead. Undoubtedly, I did not like
this foreign signal—(Laughter)—and I knocked off
work. The whole of the crew were landed at Palermo
next day, end were lodged in the Castle there. We
were afterwards put on board a steamer, and sent to
Syracuse.
Cross-examined by Sir F. KELLY—I was in the capa-
city of an able seaman. If we came home at the ex-
pease of the company, we were to have 51. a piece; if
we found it ship ourselves to come home in, we were to
have 71. 10s. The agreement was for two meths, and
if we exceeded the two months, we were to be paid ex-
tra. We proceeded first to Lisbon and Gibraltar; thence
we went to Trapanna. We then proceeded to Palermo,
which was understood to be in a state of blockade, and we
proceeded to Trapanna. Afterwards we learnt there
was no impediment at Palermo, and we went thither,
end landed at that place. There was no ela'p of the
Oriental Company at that time at Palermo. We were
afterwards put ou board the Philip Auguste, French
steamer, end taken to Syracuse, from which place I
came to England in one of the Oriental Company's
steamers. I have received part of my wages. The in-
stant I saw the statement about these proceedings I came
up to London, and offeri d to eive evidence fur the prose-
cution. I was to be paid 21. 10s. a month, and 16s. a
week for my board wages, from the tia.e when I went
and offered to give evidence. That pay is continuing at
this moment.
By Sir F. THESIGER—My wages as an ordinary sea-
man were 2/ lest a month and lay rations.
Charles Maecullech was called—l have been employed
as a stoker on board steam-vessels. I know Captain
Moody. I saw him at Liverpool in March. I applied
to him for a berth, but he did not give me
one, Ile said he had -no charge of the ship
Vectis at all; I must go to the engineer, which I did,
and the engineer s neaged me. I was afterwards on
board when the ship's articles were read; I believe
Captain Moody was present, but I could not speak posi-
tively. I heard the ship's company say Captain Moody
was to he our general. I went out in the Vectis, and
came home along with the rest of the men in the Indus,
and was discharged at Southampton.
Cross-examined—Abeut five weeks ago I was asked
to give evidence. I haVe not been promised anything for
giving evidence.
Richard Potter called and examined by Sir F. THESI•
GER—I was the quarter-master on board the Vectis.
Captain Moody engaged me. I remember the ship's
articles being read; at that time Captain Moody was
present. The Vectis was fitted up with two large
swivel-guns; and there were strong beams underneath
the guns for supporting the deck. There were magazines
also. I went out in the Vectis. (Witness then
corroborated the evider.co of the preceding wit..
nesses as to the course the vessel took, and the
incidents on the voyage.
Girolomo Rinondo, a young Neapolitan sailor, about
22 years of age, was next called, and said, through an
interpreter—l am a native of Palermo. I was nut in
distress about the beginning of the present year. In
January or February last I went to Brook-street to see
Prince Granatelli to ask him for some directions how to
go home to Sicily. The Prince asked me where I sailed
from, and I said Palermo. The Prince asked me whe-
ther I would like to go to Sicily, as there was a revolu-
don going on there; I said, 3 es. The Prince said, if I
would like to go to Sicily I might go on board a steam-
vessel called the Bombay, lying at Blackwell, under the
command of Captain Moody. A person called D'Amico
was also on board. The Prince said the Bombay was
going to Palermo on an expedition against the Neapo•
litan Government. The Prince said, I was a
voung man, and if I would go in the Bombe),
I would be in service there, and would get twelve dol-
lars a month, clothes and victuals. I said I would go.
The Prince gave me directions where to find the vessel
at Blackwell. The Prince said I would find the captain
there ; and Mr. D'Amico would be in his (the Prince's)
house shortly, and he would give D'Amico instructions
about me. I afterwards went to Sherrard-street,
Golden square, to see the Prince. The Prince gave him
a card (produced). It was after I received that card
that I went by the direction of the Prince to Gerrard-
street, where I saw Captain Castillia, and I would hear
what he had to say. The captain used arguments to
prevail upon me to go to Sicily, on board the Bombay ;
mentioning as an inducement, that a young man had
previously gone there, and been promoted.
Sir F. KELLY objected to the witness being at liberty
to repeat in evidence conversations which be had had
with any of the defendants, or persons presumed to be
their agents. There was in that something repugnant
to the first notions of justice.
The JUDGE overruled the objection.
Witness resumed—M.Castillia told me therewas another
steamer, at Liverpool, and that I might either go
with him or with the Bombay. The Prince told me
Castillie was the captain of the steamer at Liverpool.
Cetinja told me I was to have twelve dollars a month,
victuals, and clothes. Castillia told me those vessels
wore going against the Neapolitan Government. He
said nothing else on that occasion. I then went to
Blackwell and got on board the Bombay. She was
lying in the basin, inside of Blackwell. I found
D'Amico on board the Bombay, and Captain Moody
was in command of her. D'Amico said to me, when I
went on hoard, was I a Sicilian. I said yes. D'Amico
asked me who sent me there ? I said Prince Granatelli.
D'Amico said he would speak to Captain Moody about
me. Captain Moody asked me whether I would like to
be the steerer of the ship ? I replied that I would.
Captain Moody said that the wages would be twelve
dollars a month, and if I would come there in the course
of a week he would tell me more. D'Amico said to me,
"You are a young man ; courage 1 we must go
forward, and if we die our friends-- will be let
off."—(Laughter.) He then told me to come
the day after the morrow to try the steam. I went
on that day, and I found the Prince- D'Amico and
Captain Moody on board the Bombay on that occasion.
Captain Moody commanded the vessel when the steam
was tried, and there was a pilot on board. She went
to Gravesend and returned about five o'clock. I was on
board when the circles were laid down for the swivel
guns. After the trial was over, I bad a conversation
with Captain Moody and D'Amico as to when the ship
would be ready to sail. D'Amico afterwards refused to
receive me on board the vessel, as he suspected me. He
ordered me to go on shore, saying he did not want any-
thing more to do with me.
Cross-examined by Sir F. KELLY—I had been ship-
wrecked before going to see Prince Granatelli. I was
then in necessity, but not very great. I had previously
asked the Neapolitan Consul for assistance, but ho said
he could not give me any, as I was not under his
flag. He said he could not do anything for me;
but ho told me to go to Prince Granatelli, as be
was the person who would do for the Sicilians.
I did not tell the Prince what had passed between
me and the Neapolitan Consul. I saw Captain Cas-
tillia three or four times. Captain Castillia told me
yesterday, outside of the Court, he would give 1001. if I
would stay away from the Court. I never said to Cas-
tillia that the Neapolitan Consul had promised me a
sum of money if I could get an engagement on board
the Bombay.—(Here the witness was asked to step for-
ward and touch Prince Granatelli; he stood forward
and touched Scalia, but not the Prince, which elicited
much laughter.)
Cross-examined by Me. CHAMBERS (without an inter-
preter)—l could understand what you say in English, if
you were on board of ship.—(Laughter.) The name
of the Consul for Naples is Gerone. He did not give
me any money.—(The witness here began to speak ca-
pital English, which occasioned much laughter.) Since
I left the Bombay I have received 14s. a week from
Signor Whits—(Laughter)—the Neapolitan Minister's
solicitor. I have been sworn to-day according to the
Sicilian form of oath. If Ido not tell the truth, I
must suffer for it. (Here the witness's face became
suffused with emotion.) I have never said that the
Neapolitan Consul told me if I did not stick to the story
I have told to-day I would be sent to the gallows. I
deserted from the Venia, a Sicilian vessel, at Liverpool,
before I applied to sail in the Bombay. If I had gone
hack to Sicily I would not have been punished as a de-
serter for deserting the Venia, because there was a
revolution. On my way from Plymouth to London I
sought charity, representing myself to be a shipwrecked
sailor.
(The trial was proceeding when our report left.)

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool was very active yes-
terday, the sales being estimated at from 10,000 to
12,000 bales, including 10,000 American, at 31-d. to aid.;
150 Pernams and Meranhein, at 43 f, to .fiel.; 400 Bahia,
at sd. to SP.; and 300 Surats, at43ad. 34d. The mar-
ket closed very firmly. Compared with last Friday's
rates, prices of the current qualities of American, 41d.
and under, are rather against the buyer. The market
for Railway Share's was very flat.
The Cern market is moderately supplied to-day, and
Monday's prices are fully supported for Wheat. Oats
are not in great demand, though fully as dear.
The Mincing-lane produce markets have been duller
this week for sugar, coffee, and most of the leading
staples, which a7e in larger supply. Holders generally,
however, are not forcing sales, trusting to a renewal of
demand. The large colonial wool sales are going hi ;her
than the last se' ies by id. to 2d. per lb., and will Con-
tinue for many days.
The accounts received to-day from the Continental
money markets are of the same satisfactory tone,
generally speaking, as for some days past. At Paris
the quotations of Stocks and Shares are steadily rising,
and the Bonds of the Spanish Home Debt are two per
cent. higher. At Amsterdam on Thursday there was
no particular change, but some animation existed in the
Two-and-a- Half per Cents. Spanish Three per
Cents, were in greater favour, and very animated. Per-
i ugueso Bonds were in more request. The Frankfort
Bourse on the 3d inst. was not animated; Austrian
Funds and Shares, however, had risen a little. 'the
Berlin market on the same day was very buoyant, and
the rise in securities generally made progress. Shares
were in great request.
Accounts from Buenos Ayres and Rio do Janeiro, to
the 3d and 1211 May, were received yesterday after-
noon, by a private ship, arrived at Portsmouth, and these
inform us of trade being very active at the first-mentioned
place, though excessively dull at Rio, which is greatly
over-supplied with goods. How shippers can persist in
glutting markets, the consumptive power of which is in-
adequate to take off the merchandize stnt, it is really
difficult to understand, and we feel no surprise at the
announcement that auctions were being held to force off
the surplus stocks, but that consumers took very little,
and speculators still less. The improvement at
Buenos Ayres we can account for, the long
continued blockade having caused a great reduction in
the stocks, and it is worthy of remark that Monte Video
does not participate, because Rosas will not permit im-
ports from that place. Thus fabrics are lying there un-
saleable, and the only resource seems to be, as we are
informed by a merchant in the trade, their reshipment
to California.
The revenue accounts for the quarter, as we anti-
pated, has not excited much observation, and the
returns are allowed by the impartial, taking into consi-
deration the loss of the corn duties, &c., to be quite as
satisfactory as could be expected.
The Funds are very firm again to-day, and the market
has an upward tendency for most English Securities.
Con'ols have been 92 to 4 for special transfer, and
92g 4 for the settling day. The New Three-and-a-
Q carter per Cents. have been 92k ie and the Three per
Cent. Annuities 92 to Bank Stock 13,,s been marksd
1941 to 195 i, and Inuta Stock 248. Exchequer-bills
have been quoted 445. to 47e. premium.
In the Fore'gn Market, very little is doing, but
Spanish are rising here as on the Continent. The Three
per Cents. have been done at 33i to 34 ex-die. Pox ta-
guese Converted Five per Cents. are 27i. Russian have
advanced to 1051. Buenos Ayers are 43 to 44. and

George Frederick Broderip was charged with forging
a cheque for la, purporting to be drawn on the London
Joint-stock Company by Messrs. Few and Co., solicitors,

to be a forgery. One of the witnesses, Mr. Few (of the

Th; arrival of English Wheat having been small dur-
ing the present week, the show of samples of that ar-
ticle here this morning was limited. Very few buyers
were in attendance. The finest parcels sold at prices
fully equal to those obtained on Monday ; but the mid-
dling aud inferior kinds were a very dull inquiry, at
barely late rates, and at which a total clearance was not
effected. Upwards of 11,000 quarters of foreign wheat
have come fresh to band, and the supply on offer to-day
was good. All descriptions %sere a very slow inquiry, and
those out of condition ruled the turn in favour of buyers.
We had a good demand for grinding Barley, at very full
prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were quite as dear.
The arrivals are small. Malt, the supply of which was
moderate, moved off slowly at last week's currencies.
Good sound Oats were scarce, and quite as dear as on
Monday. Damp qualities ruled inactive. Both Beans
