sault upon the person of Benjamiu Ifodgesand four other
coal-porters. --
The brief facts of the case were these :—On Merida)
last the prisoners were in the taproom of the Adaus
public-house in the Old Kent road, and the corhplairiani,
being there also, a quarrel ensued, and a desperate con-
flict followed. The prisoners armed themselves with
quart pots, and dealt out such- violence to those opposed
to them, that it was almost a miracle they did not kin
one or the other of them.
Mr. Ilowett, the medical gentleman who had been
called in to dress the wounds of the injured men, de-
scribed the injuries inflicted to be of the most extensive
and dangerous description.
The prisoners were Cully committed to take their
trials at at their ensuing sessions at " the Central Criminal
Court. • •
Aridrew BascoOdle, • Francis Fardell, and Thomas
Bennett, were placed at the bar on the following charg. :
L appeared that on the preceding evening the pri
soners were observed to be engaged at a black,mith's
shop, iii Union street, London. road, by a plice,con
stable, and were subsequently watched away from there.
They pr( seeded together along the Waterloo road, and
were ultimately stopped by Romaine, Alley, and a third
constable, who had first seen them in the smith's shop.
On being searched at the station-house, a new crow
bar, or jemmy," seven skeleton keys, a wax-taper,
and a box of House. breaker's lucifers, were found in the
possession of 13 iscoville. and the other two having been

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

VAN CASTIEGNE AND CO. V. ASSIGNEES OF BARTON
AND CO.

This action was tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe, at
Liverpool, when a verdict was found for the defendants.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved for a new trial,
on the ground of misdirection. It appeared that Messrs.
Barton and Co. sent a vessel called the Vigilant to Rio
Janeiro, for a cargo of coffee. The cargo was shipped
on board and consigned to Messrs. L 3 on and Co., of
Liverpool, who, upon the receipt of the bill of lading,
procured an advance of 6,0001. upon it from Van Cas-
tiegne and Co., the plaintiffs, who are merchants at Rot-
terdam, which sum they handed over to Barton and Co.
Barton and Co. shortly afterwards failed, and the as-
signees stopped the cargo in transitu, and took posses-
sion of it on its arrival at Liverpool, on the ground that
if they had not taken that step, a fraudulent preference
would have been given to Van Castiegne and Co. This
case involved a large amount of property, and deeply
affected the mercantile interests of Liverpool.
Rule granted.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. SLOMAN AND OTHERS.

This action, which was brought against the defendant,
as sheriffs' officer, and his assistants, for trespass. was
tried before the Chief Justice, at Westminster, when a
verdict was found for the plaintiff for 7201. The
defendants, it appeared, having an execution against
the plaintiff for 2201., broke into his house in the New-
road, and levied the execution, and remained in pus-
sessioa two days.
Mr. Serjeant 13YLEs now moved on the part of Slo-
man to set aside the verdict; first, on the ground that
Sloman was not present when the trespass was com-
mitted; secondly, that the damages were excessive;
and thirdly, that the verdict was against evidence. The
Learned Serjeant contended, that the other defendants,
being only Mr. Sloman's servants, he was not liable for
any trespass of their's, and that, though a master was
liable fur the neglit:ence of his servants, he was not
responsible for any trespass they might commit, such as
breaking open the door of a house and obtaining a
forcible entry.
Mr. Serjeant WILKINS made a similar motion to the
Court en behalf of the defendants Miles and Townsend.
The Court granted a general rule.

PROPOSITION FOR AN ITALIAN DIET
PRESENTED TO PIUS IX. BY DEPUTIES
OF THE DIFFERENT STATES OF ITALY.

Most Blessed Father,--"-The benediction of GOD,
invoked by your Homiszss has descended upon Italy.
The MOST HIGH has heard the magnanimous voice
which, from the sacred heights of the Vatican, haS
secured triumph for the oppre4sed, redemption for
a people. Now Italy is free, is mistress of her own

All the citizens of Italy, with hearts overcome by
unspeakable joy, turn full of hope, and trust to the
generous PONTIFF who has initiated the Italian re-
surrection, and entreat him to accomplish the holy
work commenced. These people have the conscious-
ness of their nationality, are sons of the same family,
and earnestly desire to bind the compact of love and
brotherhood, uniting themselves around their father,
their liberator.

In this urgency, the undersigned beg of your HoLi-
NESS to use your efforts for providing, that without
loss of time, the representation of the Italian States
(which you have promoted) may be centred in Rome,
forming a national Parliament, or Italian Diet.
Most Blessed Father in this great shipwreck of
all the Potentates on earth, in this sublime reorgani-

zation of European nationalities, one Power alone
remains enduring, because, resting on the immove-

able foundation of truth and right—that power is

THAMES.

William Potter, a shoemakek,Xppeared for pit second
time before Mr. Yardley to anlwer a charge of,assault-
ing an aged man named Oates, and illegally turnicg him
and his wife out of the almshouses behind St. Matthew's
Episcopal Chapel, formerly called Mulberry-gardens
Chapel, in Pell-street, Ratcliff Highway. Tbe,.case
had been allowed to stand over for the purpose of
enabling Potter to make some compensation to the
aged complainants for the breakage of their property
while ejecting them from the lower room of the alms-
house. The defendant had made no reparation for the
injury. Eventually tbe magistrate decided that Potter
should pay the complainant 18s. and 2s. costs. The
money was immediately forthcoming, and Mr. Yardley
strongly recommended the trustees to pursue their rights
in a legal manner.

ATTEMPT.EO SUR:lag OF TOM

• STEELE.
Last evening, at Seven o'clock, the numerous Iterstiii's
passing over Waterloo-bridge were thrown into a state of
considerable excitement in consequence of the following
desperate attempt at suicide having • been made by .Mr.
Steele, better known as Tom Steele, the late Daniel
O'Connell's head pacificator. It appears that the
unfortunate gentleman mounted one of the seats on
the upper side of the bridge, and instantly plunged
head tuamost from the third arch into •the river.
A waterman, named Richard ta'rkin, of Stamford
Place, Lambeth, was cresting the river in a boat
with five persons in it, and by desperate exertions he
succeeded in rescuing the poor fellow. The moment
Larkins laid hold of hitt:Me-tried all he could to get away
and to accomplish his object, but fortunately he was
prevented. He was immediately taken to Bow-street
police-station, and from thence to' King's College Hos-
pital, where he at present ,• remaieS: Whilst in. the re-
ceivitig-idom of 'the hospital, he said that he *as stop-
ping at the Bull and'biouth,-St: Martin's-le-Grand, and
expressed a wish to be removed, to reers Coffee-house.
He also said that. he- had acted very foolishly in not
waiting till it was dark, as then he could have don, .the
business effectually. He, however, did not' state "what
had induced him to .make such a desperate attempt upon
hie life.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 17th, contains
several Cabinet orders respecting the seminary at
Poppelsdorf, the loan for public works, the proceed-
ings in political cases and offences committed by the
press, the restoration of the Rhenish civil law in
regard to marriages, the founding of loan banks, &c.
Prom Stettin, under date April 12, we learn that
the re-actionary party there is beginning to take
measures to effect the return of the Prince of Pays-
SIA. Although a petition containing an invitation to
the PRINCE to take up his residence at Stettin, as
Stadtholder of Pomerania, is for the present kept
back, yet an article in the Stem Gazette expresses
'the desire that the Prince of PRUSSIA should take a
part in the approaching discussions on the constitution.
The Aix la Chapelle Gazette, of the 18th, says—,

" In consequence of the riots which took place
yesterday a proclamation has been issued; prohibiting
the assembling of snore than five persons, and de-
claring that if the military, the burgher guard, or
police are attacked or disobeyed, recourse shall be
had to force of arms. Notwithstanding this procla-
mation several conflicts took place during the course
of the day, but no official return has yet been made.
" Tzx o'CLoca, r.x.—The city is quit."
It is said that the Prussian Cabinet is engaged in a
new organization of Posen, which is essentially
favourable to Polish nationality. The German dis-.
tricts will be reunited to Germany, and the rest of
the duchy form a separate State, to be governed by a
special constitntion,4he Bing of PRUSSIA. ruling by
the title of Grand Duke. All offices to be in the
hands of Poles. -
The Prussian States Gazette contains
,the, following
important declaration :
" We are auihorised to state- that all the' endeavours
which have been made by the Prussiaii Government tor
the conclusion 'of a pacific arrangement-of the dissen-
sions with Denmark, nave failed. Accordingly the offi-
cer commanding the Prussian troops in Holstein %, as
authorised, some time ago, to act according to circum-
stances, and, if necessary, to transport the operations to

nance dissolving the supreme Protestant Consistory
created in the month of January last.:

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
MAGREGoR U. THISKIN.
Mr. M. SMITH applied for an order directing the She-
riffs of Middlesex to discharge the defendant out of their
custody. The estate of the defendant, who was a part-
ner in the firm of Thiskin and Clark, silk and woollen
merchants, of Glasgow, had been sequestrated under the
Scotch Act, and protection from arrest had been granted
to him by the Sheriff's-substitute of Lanarkshire. The
Act provided that it should protect the bankrupt from
arrest in Great Britain and Ireland, exetpt in medita-
done fugge. Notwithstanding this protection the de-
tendant had been arrested on a ca. sa., which had been
issued in pursuance of a Judge's order, made on the
allegation that he was about to quit the country. The
defendant was merely going back to Scotland, and as
that Act could not be viewed in the light of meditating
a flight from the jurisdiction of the Scotch Bankruptcy
Court, he had been unjustly arrested.
Mr. WELLS showed cause in the first instance, con-
tending that the warrant of protection did not protect
him from arrest in England, and as he was about to quit
the jurisdiction of the English law courts, the arrest was
legal. •
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN said it appeared to him that
Mr. Smith was .entitled to a rule absolute, for the tugse
contemplated by the Act was not that to be found in
this case, where the party, being in England, did not
contemplate going abroad, but proposed simply to return
to Scotland, within the jurisdiction of the very court
that had granted him his protection. The rule therefore
for his discharge must be absolute.
Rule absolute accordingly.
