ROME.
In the sitting of the 14th of August the Chamber,
on the proposition of the Ministers, unanimously
agreed to a law admitting Jews to the full and com-
plete possession of all the civil rights of Roman
citizens.
On the 13th two battalions of the Civic Guard, who
volunteered to march to the assistance of their bre-
thren of Bologna, repaired to the square of the Qui-
rinal to receive the Pore's benediction. Plus IX.
addressed them from his balcony, but his emotion
was such that his words could not be heard. When
he bestowed' on them his benediction, however, he
distinctly said " Peace be with you ;" to which the
militia and people responded, " Courage, holy
Father ! " The POPE having been attacked, now
openly spoke of war, but his only reliance was in
French intervention, which he earnestly demanded
from M. Boss LE COMTE during the two days that
the Envoy remained at Rome.

It persisted in demanding the intervention of
France, even after foreign diplomacy had suggested the
idea of mediation.

"It gave to our diplomatic agents instructions in
conformity with public law, contracted obligations, and
the dignity of the country. It engaged them, as far as
it could be done, to turn the forces of the 'Peninsula to

been allowed the time to bring to a conclusion the
major part of the operations they commenced, or to
witness their good effects, it has a firm persuasion that
good fortune will not be wanting to Italy, provided
that she be not wanting to herself, and that she imitates
the courage of the Prince, who, at the moment of the
greatest reverses, exclaimed, 'The Italian cause is not

" There would be an indignity in losing, for ten days'
fortuitous disasters, the confidence due to four months of
prosperous events and heroic sacrifices: it is great im-
prudence to believe that a shameful peace can be better
than an honourable war to secure the material interests
and honour of Piedmont, the stability of the constitu-
tional monarchy, the integrity and the independence of
the Italian territory, the concord and peace of the whole
of Europe.

from Balby had a prejudicial effect. Spanish funds were

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)

EN TRIAL.— AYLAND V. FAIREY.
Ne
pla in this action is a wheelwrigh
and brought theTh
actionintiff to recover the sum of 54 7s. ld fort, work and labour done. The defendant pleaded a set off for
a chaise sold. The cause was tried a short time since, when
the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. An application
was, however, made to a Learned Judge at Chambers to stay
execution till Michaelmas term, in order that plaintiff might
move the Court above for a new trial, but by consent
an order was made for a new trial, and it now came before
the Court a second time.
The Learned SECONDARY suggested that the case should be
adjourned till next week, and tried before Mr. Secondary
Potter and another Jury, but the plaintiff would not consent.
The Learned Secondary said the crse came before him out of
the usual course, but if the plaintiff insisted he was bound to
try it now.

Defendant's brother was called, and swore positively that
the chaise was sent to plaintiff's for sale by auction, but was
bought in, but that afterwards plaintiff and defendant met,
and plaintiff agreed to buy the chaise for GI. 10s., anti it was
left in his possession.
For the plaintiff, two witnesses were called to prove a
conversation, which made it improbable that the sale took
place as described. The evidence was very uninteresting.
The SECONDARY said that it was entirely a question of
credibility. The chaise being still in plaintiff's possession
was no proof of a sale having taken place, as it was perhaps
more the duty of defendant to have fetched it back than
plaintiff to send it if not sold.
The jury retired for a considerable time, and then gave a
verdict for the plaintiff for 51. 75. id.
The SECONDARY said he quite agreed with them.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Haydon, the well-known City policeman, said he was ac-
quainted with Cartwright's coffee-house, and was one of the
witnesses at the last Chartist trials. The evidence of this
witness was not proceeded with.
Thomas Cope, the publisher of the Times newspaper, pro-
duced a copy of the paper of July 27th, containing the
report received by the electric telegraph, stating that the
troops bad been defeated, and that the south of Ireland was
in a state of open rebellion. It is needless to remark that
this report turned out to be untrue.
This being the case for the prosecution,
The prisoner proceeded to read his defence, which did not
at all attempt to deal with the subject matter of the charge,
but was a mere resume cf Chartist doctrines and professions.
The ATTORITEY-GENERAL briefly replied.
Mr. Baron PLATT summed up, and having read over the
evidence, stated the law in detail as it affected the prisoner.
The jury deliberated for a few minutes in the box, when
the foreman stated to his Lordship, that it would be neces-
sary to have the speech handed to them in order to convince
one of their body.

A copy of the speech was then handed to them, and the
jury retired, the proper officer of the Court having been first
sworn to keep them under his charge.
The jury returned into Court, after an absence of a little
more than half an hour, and the foreman stated that they
had found a verdict of Guilty.

NEW COURT.

(Before the R>•ConDER and Mr. Alderman FAZNCOME.)
ROB tS ERY AT Tit E LONDON Doc KS.— James Bartles,
Andrew Thompson, and IV. Niger, three foreign sailors, were
indicted with stealing one pound eleven ounces of sugar, on
the 7th July, the property of the London Dock Company.
From the evidence it appeared that the three prisoners,
who belonged to a vessel lying in the London Docks, were
seen, on the Morning in question, about six o'clock, to put
their hands into a cask of sugar lying in the dock, and take
a handful of sugar out and put it in their pockets.
The prisoners, through an interpreter, admitted that they
had taken the sugar and put it in their pockets, but stated
that they did not take it from a cask, but picked it up from
the ground.

Tiie RECORDER enquired how long the prisoners had been
in custody?
Mr. PARNELL, who appeared for the prosecution, said that
the prisoners had been in custody since the 7th of July.
The RECORDER observed that the offence was a most
trivial one, and inquired how it was that the prisoners were
not summarily convicted.
Mr. Parnell said that the Dock Company would have been
willing that the prisoners should have been summarily con-
victed, but the magistrate, Mr. Ballantine, thought the case
a tit one for the consideration of the Central Criminal Court.
The RECORDER inquired whether the vessel to which the
prisoners belonged had gone out without them?
The prisoner Bartles said that it had, and had taken all
his clothes (,ut with it.

The RECORDER said that the case was not at all like the
ordinary case of a prosecution for the protection of the Dock
Company. This case was a most trivial one and the pri-
soners had already suffered longer imprisonment than he
should have inflicted upon them if they had been convicted.
It was a pity that the Dock Company, when they brought
such paltry eharges against three men, had not to keep them
instead of the public.
The jury interrupted the case, and acquitted all the pri-
soners.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a Bench of Magistrates.)
Moses Levy, a Jew boy, about 16 years of age, was indicted
for stealing a carpet bag, containing wearing apparel, the
property of Stephen Smith, Esq.
It appears by the evidence, that on the 2d of August the
prosecutor was about to proceed by one of the mail trains on
the North-Western Railway, and took with him a bag con-
taining the property charged in the indictment, which was
placed outside the platform in charge of an officer, and while
his attention was directed for a moment to another train, the
prisoner caught up the bag and called a cab. He threw the
bag on the foot board, and a porter on the railway, who had
noticed his motions, went to the prisoner, who instantly ran
away. He was pursued and conveyed to the counting-house
with the bag, which was immediately identified by the pro-
secutor.

The prisoner said that the bag had been given to him.
The jury tound the prisoner Guilty, and
The Juntas sentenced him to three months' imprisonment
and hard labour.

Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prosecution, said the
proceedings had been taken for the protection of the public,
who were now so much in the habit of travelling by rail-
ways.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Scarcely any English Wheat has been received fresh
up to our markets this week, coastwise or by land car-
riage. To-day the show of samples was trifling in the
extreme, and the demand for all descriptions was some-
what active, at an advance in the quotations of Monday
last of fully is per quarter, and at which a good clear-
ance was effected. In free Foreign Wheat only a mode-
rate business was transacted, yet the late improvement
in value was well supported. A large quantity of Wheat
in bond changed hands, at is to 2s per quarter more
money. All kinds of Barley were in good request, and
the turn higher. There was an improved sale for
Malt, the prices of which rose quite is per quarter, with
a limited quantity on offer. The show of Oats was
small. Generally speaking, the Oat trade was firm, and
the currencies advanced is per quarter. Both Beans
and Peas were is per quarter dearer. Indian Corn was
Is to 24 per quarter, and Meal is per barrel higher.
A steady business was doing in Flour, at very full prices.
