MR. COBDEN AT FLORENCE. 1
During Mr. Cobden's stay at Florence, Monsieur
Fenzi gave him a dinner at his country house a few
miles from that city, at which upwards of thirty ladies
and gentlemen were present; on which occasion Signor
Zamrini delivered, in Italian, an improviso poetical
address to Mr. Cobden, which we are told created a
great sensation in the minds of his susceptible and
enthusiastic auditors. The following is a free para-
phrased translation from the pen of a gentleman of this
town:—
Cobden I thy far-known and self-honoure,d. name
We hail with pleasure and with gratituddll
'Tis link'd with patriot-zeal, and the warm wish
To serve the common cause of all Mankind.
Albion's new day-star I thou diffusest light
In realms by mental darkness long obscured,
And brighter times dost herald through the world!
Victorious champion in the glorious war
'Twixt Reason and tyrannic Ignorance,
Which once bore sway within thy native shores,
Accept the tribute of our heartfelt praise,
In which all Europe bears a willing part!
Unsought-for praise be thine in every clime,
For wheresoe'er thy footsteps may be led
The triumph of Free Trade shall be proclaimed.
In fair Etruria Commerce first was freed
From vassal bondage:—Leopold the wise
Thus wrote in characters indelible
" This for the World'—and for the weld it was.
In thee, illustrious Stranger! is displayed
The glory of that noblest civil right,
When exercised by great and generous minds!
Freedom and Fame in every land,
And every age—movelandinhand.
But Italy was the elect of God,
In this his glorious plan;—for she maintained
uirtehsasla shed
spread,
More than a century, 'midst darkest clouds,
OAndOf
Throughout
direst
unrestricted
tthether sdglorious

Nature
A thousand blessings on a thousand realms.
NAV
nhde here
aidedF Freedom e
cdoommtre
Yes! palaces and temples have been reared
By the donations of commercial wealth; •
While knowledge has diffused its light sublime,
And bade defiance to the power of Time!

If, honoured Visitor, thou should'st pursue
Thy course through other districts of our realm,
Although thou must in sympathy lament
The cruel degradation of its bonds,
Yet wilt thou its surpassing beauty own;
And the benignant power of Commerce hail.
Etruria, Flora's garden and delight,
Like a new Eden will entrance thy sight,
Or, like the Elysium of departed times,
Will realise the dream of heaven on earth.
Cobden! we thank thee from our inmost hearts
For the delight thy presence here imparts-.
We hail thee, like a long-known, long-lov'd friend,
Or cherished Brother,—sure, in every spot
That variegates the Wanderer's shifting lot,
To find community of heart and soul:
Thus may the truth extend from pole to pole!
Till one expansive law of Christian love,
Shall govern earth below, and Heaven above!

CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST
AN ALLEGED GERMAN BARONESS.
On Tuesday Frederika Asge, a handsome-looking and
fashionably attired native of Germany, was finally exa-
mined at Westminster Police Court, charged with steal-
ing ten sovereigns from the residence of Mr. James
Thomas Roberts, a short-head writer.
The facts detailed by the N itnesses are briefly these:—
The prisoner had resided for the last three weeks at the
house of Mr. Robert's mother, in Water street, Black-
friars, and hence an intimacy arose between the prosecu-
trix and the prisoner, the latter of whom represented
herself to her as a German Baroness. The accused called
at Mrs. Roberts's residence, 15, Holy well-street, Mill-
bank, on Friday last, and during her stay had an oppor-
tunity of knowing that there was a considerable sum of
money in gold and silver in a cash box, and deposited in
a trunk ; and manifested considerable desire to know
the exact amount, besides which she examined the pro-
secutrix's bunch of keys, alleging as a reason for so
doing that she had lost her own and thought some of
Mrs. Roberts's keys might fit her locks. At about one
on the following day she repeated her visit, and so pressed
Mrs. Roberts, who at first declined, but ultimately re-
luctantly consented, to fetch her some ham, as she could
procure it so much better than the servant, that she
complied, and was absent about twenty minutes, during
which time the prisoner waiialone ni-the apartment;
On Mrs. Roberts's return the prisoner declined to take
any of the ham, and invited Mrs. Roberts to take a drive
with her round the Regent's-park ; she went with her,
and returned home in two hours and a half, her apart.
ments being during her absence left open, and there
being other residents in the house. At a little after
nine at night Mr. Roberts went to the cash-box, and
finding that the key would not turn in the lock, forced
it, and discovered that ten sovereigns had been extracted.
In consequence of his wife communicating the above cir-
cumstances to him, and the landlady of the house stating
that she had distinctly heard the prisoner go towards
the place where the box was deposited, during Mrs. Ro-
berts's absence, the prosecutor suspected the prisoner,
and immediately repaired to her residence. He asked
her for the ten sovereigns, when she replied that she had
no ten sovereigns, but immediately placed her purse,
containing two sovereigns, upon the table, and taking a
gold chain and eye-glass and some jewellery from a
drawer, offered them to the prosecutor, and also re-
quested her landlady to lend her sight sovereigns, which,
with the two she bad, would make 101. She at the
same time repeatedly declared that she bad no other
money than that in her purse, but, upon a minute search,
six sovereigns were found between a table and a look-
ing glass, in which the latter was placed. These with
the two found in the purse, were all quite new, and in
this respect corresponded with the ten stolen from Mrs.
Roberts.
The prisoner's answer to the charge, through an in-
terpreter, was that she was perfectly innocent. She
accounted for the possession of the six sovereigns, by
stating that Frederick, the head waiter at the Royal
Hotel, Blackfriars, had lent her the money, as she was
about to start on a journey, and might require it.
She said she could have no necessity to steal, as she
could procure any sum of money she wanted at the
Royal Hotel. With respect to the ham, she observed
that Mrs. Roberts said she was fond of it, and went out
and fetched some.
A gentleman from the office of Messrs. Wire and
Child, who attended on the part of the accused, repre-
sented her to be most respectably connected ' • put some
questions to Mrs. Roberts, with a view of showing that
at the time the prisoner offered the chain, jewels, and
money to Mr. Roberts, that she did not clearly under-
stand the nature of his visit, or of the observations made
to her. In reply, Mr. Roberts said that she did perfectly
understand him ; he spoke to her partly in German,
partly in English, his reason for which was that the offi•
' cer, who was present, might understand what he said to
the prisoner. She at the time of offering the things said,
" Take them, only let me be till to-morrow." Mrs. Ro-
berts, in her cross-examination, agreed with her hus-
band that the prisoner could carry on a conversation in
• tolerably geed English, and added that she could read
an English bock.
Mr. Broderip considered it IL: dni,y to commit the
prisoner to Ne77gato for trial.—She was comnaittad
accordingly.
We understand that it will be proved on the trial that
she obtained the sovereigns in the manner stated?

MONEY MARILET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 15 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
101,A. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
c 2; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
255 n, :it follows that gold is 0.22 per cent. dearer in
undQnJhan in Paris. The price of gold at Ilamburgh
is 435h,per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
101 Ad. ,per ounce for standard gold, gives; an exchange of
13.10 q ; _and'the exchange at liamburgh oa London at short
being 13*,. it follows that gold is 0.87 per cent. dearer in
liambur: 't: ;an in London. The course of exchange at New

change. between England and America being 109 23-40
