ITALY.

The latest accounts from the seat of war in
Central Italy state that OUDINOT was still acting on
the offensive.

Letters from Ancona declare that Rome was yet
being bombarded, and that doubts were beginning to
be entertained as to the possibility of
and hisfollowersholding out much longer.

The King of NAPLES-is said to .have once more
crossed the Neapolitan frontiers.
The Gazette of Genoa, of the Bth, says, that the
French cavalry greatly contributed to drive hack the
legion of GA RIBALDI and MONARA, in their ei)deavour
to retake 'lanai at the point of the bayonet. Tne
legion suffered greatly. The Roman cavalry, a very
small force, is nearly destroyed.
The Roman Maniteur; of the 3d, contains a reso-
lution of the Assembly declaring itself en permanence.
It also publishes a proclamation of the Cowmitt, e of
Barricades, calling on the people to defend the barri-
cades. " Fierceness (hays the Committee) is a law
and the duty of na•ure. 20,000 bullets or bombs are
insufficient to burn Rome or to bury liberty."
The citizen MAr a, formerly prefect of Ferrara, is
appointed to the Ministry of the Interior, and has
ordered the sacrament to be displayed in all the
churches of Rome during the attack.

There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, at lull rates. The sales were estimated at
7 000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took
2,000 bales.—Railway Shares were in moderate request,
and prices were a shade better.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 455. Id. per
quarter, and the quantity sold in the provincial markets,
which regulate the duties, has been 80 090 quarters.
The Amsterdam Bourse on the 12th instant was
rather better. The Two and-a Half per Cent. Dutch
St ,ck realised 49 3 16 to 494. At Frankfort on the
11th instant very little business was doing.
In addition to the very promising accounts receiver:
in town from Catiferuia, there is verbal corroboration
afford, d by Mr. Suwerkrop, a highly had
ligent gentleman, who was Danish Consul at.
the Sandwich Islands, and is now in London.
'I his gentleman has personally visited the "diggins," and
speaks. in the highest tetras of th- prospects of tn.
coun,ry, not alone in reference to metallic riches, but
likewise in respect of agricultural cal The
view from the higher range of hills is described as beinr:
ex'remely beau Dui, and the a-il as very rich. On one
point only does Mr. Suwerkrup seem to express
a doubt, viz., as to the eligibility of the site of
San Francisco. Oiiginally the object of placing it
where it stands was to have a land communication with
Monterey. but this advantage appears to be counter-
balanced by the less conereuient access which shipping
have, compared with the opposite entrance of the
bay. Once in this expansive water, the navigation
presents but little difficulty, and for some distance
up the Sacramento seragoing, vessels of moderate
tonnage may be- take n. Mr. Suwerkrop has ri
steamer building of four hundred tuns, which be will
employ in Gdornia, and at no distant day there
will be a railroad at least part of the distance to the
United Stares, for rail-road making in America is a very
different affair to our costly system. The laud is
to be had 'or nothing, the timber is a substitute for iron,
and the labour is the chief desideratum. That the sub
j, ct already t xcites attention 'we may learn from the fol-
lowing statement in an American journal:—
" The propriety and expediency Q 1 constructing a rail-
road across the American continent, to connect the
_Mississippi with the Pacific o,:ean, is rapidly growing in
public favour in the western and south-western states.
Jo ravearrbly.impressett are the citizens of tho,e,regtoris
with the project, its feasibility and advantageousness.
that the peoule of Arkansas, in.convention assembled,
have. called it convention of people on the 4th of
July next, at Memphis, to take the subject into
consideration. In accordance with the invitation, the
Governor of South Carolina has requested the attend-
ance of one hundred and twenty distinguished citizens
of that state at the convention, and wo have no doubt
that other states will follow the example. The time is
fast approaching when such a work as this must be con-
structed, but, in the meantime, it will be well to finish
other woiks of a similar character now commenced."
From all the information we have collected we have
no hesitation in affirming that California will for some
time offer a, great field to the hardy and industrious, as
well as to tne mire experienced merchant, but that cau-
tion in all respects will be needful.
The important intelligence from Paris, suggestive too,
as it undoubtedly is, of future difficulties and of great
'meet tainty, has not affected the English Stock Market,
confidence growing daily stronger that this ciaintry
will not interfere iu foreign affairs, but quietly look on.

Strathmore, or Wharneliffe, were spoken of as liktly
to succeed Lord Airlie ; but we believe the appoint

Brechin Castle will be a more acceptable one to the
county, considering whose name he bears, and that
he must, in the course of nature, succeed to the large
estates in Forfarshire which are now possessed by his

THE QUEEN V. GREGORY, GEIISLIN AND PEPPER.

ivijoiy, Kt the inbtahee of Mr. Hardy, the Seerettal of
the Duke of Brunsw•it k. . „

•
- •
I+ alrared, from the statement on behalf of the pro-
sveution, that the first nem d defendant, Mr. Gregory,
formerly of the Sati,ist newspaper, made nft affidavit,
conjointly with the other def.ndants, in April, 1846, de-
daring :hat he was not, the proprietor of the paper;
heieas it was alleged on behalf of the prosecution, that
when he had disposed of tile taper to the defendants he
retained air interest in it, inasmuch as he held a portion
of the purchase money in which entitled him, if
they were not paid, to the right of re-entry—hence the
affiJavits were untrue.

Attrr hearing the t vidence. which did not go to show
that the defendant Gregory had taken any part in the
paper sinc, that period, not having exercised any right
of re-entry, which he might have puss, abed.
Mr. Ju,tiee ERLE put it to the jury to say, whether
the evidence justified the chaiged.
They replird in the negative, and a verdict was ell"
tered fur the defendants.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY)*
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BUECHEL'. )
EVEREST V. HA ZLETINE AND ANOTHER. •
This was an action to ricuver damages for an injury
sustained in consteuetice of the negligence and miscon-
duct of defendants' servant.
Mr. Sergeant JONES appeared for the plaintiff, and
said that this action was brought by the plaintiff who is
an infant, by her mother, who is her next friend. The
plaintiff is a widow, with ,five children, carrying on bud'
ce,s in Holborn-buildings, as a laundress, and defen-
dants, Messrs. Haze Line and Mates, are coach builders
and contractors to several railways. The claim fo; '
damages was for injuries sustained by the plaintiffs
child, who is about ten years of age, and who had been
driven over through the reckless and careless conduct
of a man named Lawrence, who had been in the
service of the defendants. He, the Learned Counsel,
considered that it would be impossible to' attli"..
buts this to accident, for Lawrence treated the
matter with the greatest indifference. The injury •
inflicted on the 28th of October last, and the unfortU"
nate child had been an in- patient of King's College • '
Hospital for seven months, aid was still an out-patient,
and it is feared that the injury sustained is of a permit'
tent character. The defendant had suffered judgment
to go by default, thereby admitting the misconduct °
their servant, and their own lisbiliry, and bed offered
2/. 10s., saying that was not as a compensationfor the
injury, for it was clearly an action to put cost in the at*
torney's pocket, but to stay proceedings.
Charles Nash stated that he is a porter in Eagle-streets,
Red Lion-square, and on the dsy in question he was .in
lied Lion-street, near to Holborn, and saw the plaintlu
and two other children when Lawrence drove up at the
rate of about six miles an hour, and driving
close up to the curb where the children
were walking on the p..v.•inent, and were just
at the corner preparing to cross, when the
llrin iff was jammed in between the cart and the
lamp-post, and telt down. Wituess called to the Wan,
v.ho said it was nothiug, there was no harm done, and
drove on. Witnyss saw a severe gash on the child's leg,
and ro,.k her to the hospital. There was plenty of room
tor Lawrence to have driven some feet from the post/
there was porfine in the way to interfere.
Mr. 11 epoLlisTorte cross- examiLed the witness, but
did net elicit r eyivieg laveureble to detentiatit's e,,se.
Mrs. Anti Hilbits gave con( borative evidence.
Mr. Paraidge, surgeon at Kaig's College Hospital,
proven that a her, the plaintiff was ;sit, n to the hospital
he teulid both toms of the 1, g broken if near the knee- •
cap, and he r lilt wt:s in danger for some weeks; iu conse-
Tiebee of the Levirrty o'• the injury it was difficult to ,
keep the parts together. Site was about eight Months au
.
in patient, and is new an out- eatient, and it is feared that
it wilt yet be some men. hs before she will be discharged,
and she must ins virally be lame fur, life. The girl s
g, neral state of health was good.
Mr. Salter, w o was house surgeon at the hospital?
corroborated this evidence. s
Mips Eliza Miller, schoolmistress at St. George
81-omsbury Infant Scho,l, proved that the plaintiff was
a monitor of the school, and being a child of great,
,
natural ability, so, much so that had she remained Dal'
sun( of she would have had compensation.
By Mr. I i UDDLESTe NE She would have 01
rrt,re calculated tor teacher or companion than for bard
work.

Mr. IJUDDLESTONE addressed the Court for the jury,
and complained that it should have been staled that the
deh ndauts had added insult to injury by offering such
a trifling sum, un the ground that it was an attornefa,
action, without their being theslightest evidence on that
point. He urged that although the defendants wig"
be legally bound to make compensation for the injury,
yet that 'hey ought not also to be liable for any heart-
less conduct. if it could be proved; but defendants had
discharged him. There was-another circumstance tbut
fortunately the accident had not been of such a nature
as not to prevent her hereafter following the bent of ber
mind, and her health had not been injured.
The UNDER SHERIFF summed up, and said that
the defendants were clearly liable for the acts of their
servant, hut he thought that the statement made by . the
Leurned Sergeant was calculated to itiflueece the tallks
of the jury; and as it was not proved in evidence,. !L..
ought not to h.ve been stated. The injury had-und"Dld
edly been very severe, and the damages s
must be e"e
to
on the extent of those injuries, and for allY
her future prospects in life..
The jury gave a verdict for 1001.

CRIMINAL CO U RT—(TUIS DAY')
OLD COURT.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Mr. justice
PATTESON, and Mr. Baron ttoLFE.).
SHOWING AT fIER MAJESTY.
Immediately after the Learned Judges had taken their
seats on the bench William haniilion, aged 23, described
as a bricklayer, was placed in the dock, and charged
with having, "in a cettain public place,:'called the
Green p. rk, a certain loaded pistol, which he did point,
aim. present, and discharge at and near the person of
our Sovereign Lady the Queen, with intent to break the
pubic peace brio alarm our said Lady the Queen:"
Attorney-Genera),hhe Mr. Li, dime Mr. Wells, anti
Mr. Clarke, appeared toe the prost cation. The prisoner

The it dieimtut baying been read over by the clerk of
the Court,„f a
Court,
tie prisoner, who was attired iu the garb
bricklayer's labourer, scut h as a white fustian jacket, and
troueets, was elided upon to plead, when he did so je a
subdued tone of voice, pleading " Guilty."
. The prisoner was then asked if he could. stOte any
reason why the judgment of the Court should not be
pas,. d upon loin, but be made no reply, and
I t o
Ihe LORD CHIMP JUSTICE there upon prOqeeue- .
pa.s sentence, upon him in the following terms:--Fr
l- •
stater at the bar, you leave pleaded guilty to a eharV
preferred agaiii.t you under the sth and 6th of Victoria,
of having 'inlet:test at or near the person of her'lle"
jest). a pistol loaded with powder, and afterwards dis;
~barst cl the sante, with intent to alarm her Majesty ahu
break the public peace. It is desirable on some tices"
se es that the. et,eotnstane, s attending a charge opal.?t
a rms., should be distinctly and openly stated
n
CLure, but your case is so simple and clear that it is not
at. all inconvenient that 3ou should have pleaded guilt)'
The facts of your case are very simple. It, appears tbls
you came fr,se Ireland some time ago and worked b-
ats a brick's) er. You then went to France for a short
period and returned, bring supplied with toed after Your
return by the two women of the house in which you
lodged, they having allowed you to live in an empty
room, and you waking them some compensation by oc"
casioneliy going of their errands. Oa the day in clues;
don you borrowed a pi,tol from one of these women, au"
having procured some gunpowder from a child, yo,l
loaded that pistil aid went out, refusing to let the child
go with you. You then went into the Green Per"
where you loitered about, and made inquiries of solve
persons about her Majesty. Upon her Majesty apPeur
iug you raised and presented that pistol which you d's'.
charge d at her Majesty's person. These facts are
prove,; by several witnesses, and the case is there'
tore quite clear against you. The offence to which
you nave pleaded guilty is that of having offered
a gross insult to her Majesty; there is no ground what-
ever
to suspect that you intended any personal injury to
her Majesty, for the pistol which you used was 013 e
hardly capable of doing mischief. Your manner, too,
of loading it, showed, 1 think, that you did not intend to
do any serious mischief, while the report made by the
pistol, when discharged, satisfied the witnesses on the
spot, some of whom are peculiarly competent to judge
of the matter, that the pistol was not loaded with WV;
thing but powder. Your manner, too, of loading so.
ramming down the charge produced a peculiar rerrto
