stain themselves, and the incalculable scandal which
they would present to the whole world, they would only
injure the cause which
.they mean to defend, tilling Rome,
the state, and all Italy with an infinite series of evils? And
in this and similar cases (which God keep far away) could
the spiritual power which. God hath given us remain inac-
tive? Let all be aware tnat we feel the magnitude of our
dignity and the force of our power. Save, 0 Lord, your
Rome, from so many evils! enlighten those who will not
listen to the voice of your Vicar! let wiser counsels pre•
vail with all so that, obedient to those who govern
them, they may live in the exercise of the duties of good
Christians, without which they can neither be good sub-
jects nor good citizens."
A letter from Romc, of the 3d, says—" Count
MANIIAUI DELLE REVERE has been charged to form a
new Ministry. Prince ROSPIGLIOSI, General of the
Roman Civic Guard, has given up the post, because the
citizen soldiers refused to escort Cardinal BERNETTI to
the Quirinal, in order to place him in safety, accord-
ing to orders which were given them. The com-
mand of the civic guard has been conferred on MARIO
Massino, Duke de Rignano."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The new steam basin in this
dockyard will not be opened on the 24th inst., as origi-
nally- intended, an order having been received from the
Admiralty this morning announcing their Lordships'
intention not to open the basin on that day. It has
been customary en all former occasions of the completion
and formal opening of great public works connected
with naval affairs, for the Admiralty to confer a step of
promotion on one officer of each grade of the profession,
selecting such as have some relation to the spot in
question. It is hoped, presuming the same rule will be
observed on the present occasion, that their Lordships
will select Lieutenant Williamson, of the Semaphore, in
the dockyard, as one to be benefited by their Lordships'
liberality on the forthcoming occasion. His long
standing in the service, unblemished character, and un •
wearied attention to the duties of his situation, appear
to deserve the boon. He has been 41 years a lieutenant,
and served with great credit during the greater part of
the revolutionary war; was mate of the Santa Mar-
garita in Sir Risherd Strachan's action with Datnanoir,
and was engaged with the enemy on many other
occasions. His great misfortune has been that al-
though he has ac wely served under many distinguished
officers, such as Sir Alexander Cochrane, Sir Henry
Hotbam, Captains Garth, Whitby, the Hon. Leveson
Gower, &c., they are all dead. He has consequently no
one to plead his cause, which must account for the ne-
glect he has experienced, having been excluded the
benefit of two brevets, and numerous other public
chances of promotion.
The Sharpshooter, 2, Lieutenant-Commander Bayley,
returned this morning from ,Dover, whither she was
dispatched to bring Mr. Allen, the acting master and
crew of the Undine packet fbr the service of the Fire
Queen steam tender. She also brought the cabin furni-
ture and stores of the Undine, for the same service.
The Dauntless steam-frigate is to have her steam up
on the 15th inst. for trial. She has been nearly 18
months getting her engines.
Mr. Conolly, First Lieutenant of the Bellerophon, 78,

INQUEST UPON MR. REDHEAD
YORKE, M.P.
An inquest was held before Mr. Wakley on Saturday,
at the Elephant and Castle, opposite St. Pancras Work-
house, on the body of the late Mr. Yorke, M.P. for the
city of York.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased
gentleman purchased a small quantity of prussic acid at
the shop of a chemist in the Haymarket, and that he
swallowed it in the vicinity of the Regent's-park, and
dence went to show that the state of

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
EXTENSIVE RAILWAY PLUNDER.—On Saturday,
Charles Abbott and Ann Williams, the former of
whom, it appears, was for some time butler to Colonel
Hope, of Norfolk-street, Park-lane, and from whom
he derived a comfortable annuity, were placed at the
bar charged with having committed numerous rob-
beries at various railway stations.
This being the third time the parties were before
the Bench, and the case being one of considerable
public interest, the court was densely crowded, and a
great number of pawnbrokers and their clerks, the
recipients of the stolen property, thronged every pas-
sage.
On a previous examination it had been proved
that the prisoner Abbott had stolen a portmanteau
belonging to the Rev. Mr. Marsh, of Cambridge,
from the station-house of the Paddington terminus,
which portmanteau had been traced to the house of
a woman, Cattell, residing at 23, Carlisle-place, Lisson-
grove, a place which, it appears, Abbott had made a
depot for the ill-gotten treasure. On Collard
examining the premises, boxes, trunks, portmanteaus,
writing-desks, &c., were there arranged, and he, there-
fore, selected as a sample what filled three cabs, which
he had brought to the police-court for the purpose of
identification by the owners. It, moreover, appeared
that a number of pawnbrokers tickets had been also
found, all pledged in the name of the female pri-
soner, Ann Williams. On the case being called on,
Mr. Justins, from the office of Maples, Stevens, and
Co., Old Jewry, attended for the prosecution, on the
part of the Great Western Railway Company.
The first witness called was Thomas Batson, Esq.,
residing at Kynaston House, near Ross, in Here-
fordshire, who deposed that on the 23d of last De-
cember he was a passenger on the Great Western
line from Gloucester to London. He had with him
seven parcels, or packages. On his arrival at the
Paddington terminus he missed one package, con-
taining a vast deal of property—he should say to the
value of between 401. and 56/.
A great number of articles of wearing apparel, &c.,
were here produced, all of which were identified by
Mr. Batson as his property.
The articles in question were found at the house,
No. 23, Carlisle-place, Lison-grove, kept by a woman
named Anne Cattell, who, upon being examined, said
that the articles were left at her house from time
to time by the male :prisoner, whom she had known
for some seven or eight years.
Several assistants to Messrs. Boyce, Trail, Richard-
son, Fish, &c., pawnbrokers, gave evidence as to their
having received the articles in question from the pri-
soner Williams, for the purpose of obtaining the loan
of money thereon.
Mr. George Gilbert Scott, an architect, living at
No. 12, Avenue-road, Regent's-park, said that on the
25th of last March he was a passenger on the Great
Western Railway, and had lost a portmanteau, the
one he now saw in court. It had contained many
articles of wearing apparel, the majority of which he
identified as belonging to him.
Mr. Thomas Yaley, a solicitor from Chelmsford,
stated that on the 24th of last December he came to
London from Chelmsford by the Eastern Counties
Railroad. He had a portmanteau, containing a great
quantity of wearing apparel, to the value of at least
101., which he found was missing on his arrival at the
terminus. The articles now produced were part of
the property he had lost upon that occasion.
The three foregoing cases being of such a strong
nature against the prisoners, in addition to the three

the magistrate fully committed them to take their
trial upon the six several and distinct charges.
IMMENSE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY BY A SER-
rasa'._Ge
:d clerk to
Mr. William Charman, of No. 63, Berwick-street,
Soho, manufacturing jeweller, was brought before
Mr. Hardwick for re-examination, charged with
having robbed his employer of texc
eeding
5001. y
500/. in value.
Mr. W. Charman said—l live at No. 63, Berwick-
street. The prisoner has been for about 18 or 20
months in my service as town traveller and clerk.
About a month ago I missed a gold snuff-box from
the counting-house, and I said to the prisoner on the
following, day—" On looking over the gold snuff-
boxes yesterday, I missed one with a green chased gold
border : where is it ?" I also said—" I have examined the
approbation book, and cannot find it entered to any
one. The prisoner said, " I have left it with Mr.
Storey, of Regent-street; it is entered in my order-
book." About a fortnight since I asked the prisoner
if he had obtained an answer from Mr. Storey re-
specting the gold box. He said Mr. Storey had sent
that box and another into the country. Had ob-
served that another gold box had been entered in the
approbation
book to Mr. Storey. Last Monday
evening, in consequence of what I had heard from
Mr. storey, I called the prisoner into my parlour,
where Inspector li/hall and Police-sergeant Gray
were. I said to the prisoner, ""These are officers.
1 find you have entered two gold boxes to Mr.
Storey, on approbation, and he denies ever
having received them. What have you done
with them ?" After some hesitation on his
part, I asked him if he had pawned them, and he
said " Yes." I asked him where, arid he said, "At
Mr. RAI-train's." I said, "Is there any thing else you
have taken ?" and he replied " No." I tken gave
officers
found into custody. At the station-house the
found 44 duplicates, all of which related to property
belonging to me. I also saw the officers find on the
prisoner three diamond pins, seven gold seals, ten
gold keys, six rings, a gold locket, some gold buttons,
and other articles f the value of 401., my property.
The prisoner then said he hoped I should have
mercy on his wife and himself. Since the prisoner
has been in custody I have been examining my stock,
and up to this time I miss property to the value of
between 4001. and 500/. The two gold snuff-boxes
produced are my property ; the other articles also
produced belong to me.
A considerable portion of the property which had
been ' pledged with various pawnbrokers was pro-
duced, and identified by Mr. Charman.

Mitmoex.—How varied, yet how soothing, are the
effects produced by memory on the mind, paining while
they please! When we retrace our steps along the
pathway of life, how much of sorrow blends with the
recollections of the past! friendships broken—hopes
frustrated—schemes of happiness, as brilliant as the
bubbles blown by a sportive child—like them,
lost in air. The tomb has closed over many
who were dear to us; others, with whom
we thought to tread the maze of life, have
turned from us, lured by the flowers that spring in plea-
sure's path, or dazzled by the attractions of wealthier,
or more honoured acquaintance. Yet memory, in re-
calling our griefs, sheds her softening influence over our
souls; draws the sting from our wounds, and bids us feel
a melancholy eleasure in recurring to the past. On
the virtues of the dead we dwell in sad though pleasing
retrospection; and if friends have proved false, memory,
though a pang attends the recollection, recalls the happy
hours we have passed in their society, and paints so
vividly past scenes of enjoyment, that the remembrance
of their faithlessness is for a time obliterated
me by the
recollection of their social qualities. Should mory
recur to hopes defeated, we have learned by experi-
ence, that we should have derived but little gratification
from their realisation. Thus, for every sting that
memory inflicts she provides a balm;
and when she
the in-
turns our thoughts to a fault expiated, an evils deed re-
ef present linquished, or a virtuous act completed, h othing,
how exhilarating is the thought! To youth, to manhood,
to age, memory brings pleasure. In youth we look back
with delight to the innocent gratifications of childhood,
cineteorfvtiheewßwoairtdh
when " the tear, forgot as soon as shed," dimmed for a mo-
ment but impaired not the lustre of our eyes; the man,
strong in health and firm of purpose, mid the storms of life
turns with pleasurable emotions to the recollections of his
youthful follies; and the aged, deprived, by
firmities attendant on the decline of life,
en-
joyment seek, amid the treasures of memory, relief for
the weariness attached to a life of inaction.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE WORLING CLASSES.—A
Testimonial to the Metropolitan Working Classes of an
appropriate and judicious description, in response to
their recent demonstration on behalf of order, peace, and
law, has been suggested by Lord Robert Grosvenor, who
has issued a circular urging the concurrence and co-
operation of influential parties on behalf of the Metropo-
litan Benefit Societies' Asylum, at Ball's Pond-road,
Islington, for the reception of the aged and infirm con-
tributors to or members (male and female, and widows
of member.) of benefit societies, to which it is proposed
to contribute funds sufficient to complete the building,
by the erection of the wings forming part of the original
design, and to commence at least one additional asylum
in another part of the metropolitan suburbs. As his
Lordship, in announcing his well-timed suggestion,
rightly remarks, the class of persons assisted by such
institutions " is ono with which almost all persons are
Inclined to sympathise, because it is composed of those
who havo done their best to assist themselves. The
asylum can neither encourage idleness nor interfere with
labour; it is dedicated solely to the use of the working
classes; it is managed solely by them, with an economy
worthy of all imitation; and when once the buildings
are completed, will be supported entirely by the benefit
societies." The friends of the institution, under the
especial patronage of her Majesty, the Duchess. of Kent,
the Duke of Cambridge, &c.. &c., have accordingly re-
solved, to have a public dinner, at the Freemason's
Tavern, on Tuesday, 16th current,. under the_pers
auspices of the Duke of Cambridge, who will preside,
ma.ng
and with the view of aiding the exertions now making
in order to accomplish the end in view.—Budder.

THE Moons.—To those who anticipate the plea-
sure of a retreat among the hills, far from the cares of
business, the intelligence will be welcome, that the com-
ing season promises to be an excellent one for grouse
shooting. The disease which prevailed among the birds,
to some extent, throughout the two last years, seems to
have altogether disappeared. In no mil instance have
parties that we have met with, who have been traversing
the moors to choose their quarters, detected either dead
or weak birds, in this or the neighbouring counties; nor
is there any reasonable probability that the first hatch
will be lessened or destroyed by frost or storms, as
happens when good weather is premature—the rigorous
winter, passing through spring to the verge of summer,
preventing incubation, until the time arrived when all
fear of future injury had vanished. Heather burning
has this season been confined to narrow limits, for from
the first of April till the tenth, when legal burning ended,
there were but few days that would prepare even the
driest knolls to be fit for firing. The demand for shoot-
ings is equal to that of previous seasons.—lnverness
Courier.

The President of the Board of Control has ap-
pointed his nephew, Mr. Arthur Fane Hobhouse, to be
his private secretary. The llon. W. Napier is appointed
clerks of the works and civil engineer at Hong-Kong.
Lieutenant kVoolridge, emigration agent at Sligo, is to
be Lieutenant of the port of Gibraltar. Mr. W . Elliott
is to bo appointed clerk in the Audit-office, Ceylon.—
