NAPLES AND SICILY.

A letter from Naples, of the 11th instant, says that
there is every prospect (thanks to the intervention of
England and France, of a satisfactory solution of the
Sicilian question. The plan at present is, that Sicily
should be raised into a Vice-Royalty, with the second
son of the KING as hereditary Viceroy.

ALDGATE WARD.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs, Thomas Quested Finnis, Esq., Alderman
of the Ward of Tower; J. E. Goodhart, Esq., Alderman

. __..
Humphrey, and several gentlemen of the Common
Council, went in state to the church of St. Katharine
Cree, Leadenhall-street. After divine service the Rev.
J. Jerram, the Vicar of Chobham, preached a sermon in
aid of the funds of the Aldgate Ward Charity Schools for
educating, clothing, and apprenticing the children of the
poor. At the close of an eloquent discourse there was
a collection, to which the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs libe-
rally contributed. In the evening the Rev. J. Saunders,
rector of St. Luke's, and domestic chaplain to the Duke
of Cambridge, advocated the cause of the charity.
WINDSOR, SUNDAY. EVENING.—It is expected that
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester will visit
her Majesty in the early part of the week, previous to
her Royal Highness's departure for Brighton, where
apartments are engaged for her lt.yal Highness at the
Bedford Hotel. The rain has been almost incessant for
th© last two days, and has prevented the Royal Family
taking their accustomed out-of-door exercise.
ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.—Yesterday, whilst
a gentleman, named Tyler, who arrived at Swansea on
the previous evening, was walking on the sands, at-
tended by his domestic, he suddenly pounced on the man 1
whilst' he was gazing at some distant object, and inflicted l'
a serious gash near his neck with a knife. - The gentle-
i
man is now under strict surveillance, and labours, it
seems, under an aberration:of intellect,—Cambrian.

SOUTHWARK.

On Saturday, two lads, named Sullivan a n d Donald,
were charged with stealing a silk pockere-handker-
chief from the pocket of a gentleman named Sherland,
while passing St. Thomas's Hospital.
A City police-officer, named Hayden, stat ed that in
consequence of the numerous robberies Vi dlich had
taken place lately on London-bridge, by .a daring
gang of young pickpockets, he had been dii7ected to
watch the neighbourhood in plain clothes. In the
present case, he had seen the prisoner Dona.'d take
the handkerchief from the complainant, and v, 'bile in
the act of passing it to his companion, witnessa ecured
them. A mob immediately gathered round, and a
rescue was attempted, but Mr. Sherland assisi,ed him,
and with much difficulty the prisoners were tak en to
the station.

The MAGISTRATE sentenced the prisoners, to a
month's impriionrnent, with hard labour, and, to be
privately whipped.
Mr. Sherlaud said he considered there vials".muc4l

inefficiency on the part of the police of this division.
Not a constable was to be met with all the way from
the railway terminus to the station, and but for the
activity of the policeman Hayden the prisoners wou
have escaped.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

WARSAW, DEC. I.—The Administrative Govern..
ment of Poland has issued an edict, that from this
date the exportation of oats is again permitted on pay-
ment of the usual dues.

The Lubian Gazette says—" It is well known that
last autumn the city of St. Petersburgh received a
new commercial Constitution, which was said to be
the work of the Minister of the Home Department.
Government has now stated its intention of giving a
similar constitution to :all the other cities of the em-
pire, and in these are to be included the Rest Sea
provinces. These cities still retain their ancient dis-
tinct constitutions, the maintenance of which was
solemnly guaranteed to them when they were incor-
porated in the Russian empire, which guarantees,
however, did not prevent CATHERINE from making
numerous infringements. By the recent government
measures, it is probable that the last remains of Ger-
manic
law (the Lubian, Bremen, and .Magdeburg)
will entirely disappear from our statute-book."

DECEMBER H,

true construction of the 62d rule the plaintiff was en-
titled to redeem his property upon repayment of the
7501., and his subscriptions to that time, deducting the
amount of the subscriptions and redemption money which
he had already paid to the society, and he would thence •
forward cease to be a member of the society, and cease
to be liable to any further subscription. They did not
ask that the Court shall make any declaration as to the
future liability of the plaintiff to the society. If any de-
mands were made upon him for further subscriptions, he
would be prepared to defend himself. All that the
Court was at present asked to do was, to decree the re-
conveyance of the property upon the repayment of the
7501., and the subscriptions which had already become
due. On the part of the trustees of the society it was sub-
mitted that the suit was founded upon a mistaken con-
struction of the rules of the society and the liabilities of
the plaintiff. The plaintiff might redeem his estate, but
it could only be upon payment of the subscriptions on
all his shares up to the time to which the society might
be calculated to endure. This was the obligation which
he had taken upon himself by the security he had given.
The society were purchasers of an annuity rather than
mortgagees, which they were inaccurately called. The
original funds of the society were raised by monthly
subscriptions of 10s. on each share. When a sufficient
fund was by this means accumulated, an auction was
held for the sale of shares, and any member who might
be desirous to obtain an advance of money becam a pur-
chaser of new shares, to each of which new shares
is attached the liability of paying 10s. per month
subrcription and 4s. per month redemption money.
From these payments the party could not afterwards
escape. The 103 d rule provided that when 120/. per
share in amount or value should be realized the society
should terminate, and the deeds should be delivered up
to the members with a receipt or discharge from the
mortgage. Every member was therefore interested in
the prosperity of the society ; and when this amount
was realized, the plaintiff, in the ordinary course of the
society, would recover his estate unencumbered. The
mortgage would discharge itself. If, however, he chose
to abandon the society sooner, he could not do so with-
out
fulfilling the obligation of paying the monthly pay-
ments until the dissolution of the society. The only
difference was, that in such a case the duration of the
society must be made a subject of computation, instead
of being ascertained as a fact. The Vice-Chancellor
Wigram decided against the claim of the plaintiff, and
for that reLson the present appeal was brought.
Mr. Bolt and Mr. Prior were counsel for the appellant,
and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Bevan were in sup-
port of the decree in the Court below.

no reasonable expectation of payment within the
periods to which banking operations are usually re-
stricted, and they did so upon a defective, or to use
the words of their own advocate, " a disputed
title," with proceedings actually pending in a court
of equity. And to prevent the losses to which they
would have have been exposed by their own imprudent
conduct, they embark the capital of their proprie-
tors in a new trade, not sanctioned or authorised by
law, and in which the original loss may possibly be
greatly increased.

It is not necessary to follow " Verax " through
his statements respecting the accumulation of stock,
or the withholding the produce from the market. The
facts alleged by Mr. CRAWSHAY respecting the selling
of sheet-iron at ruinously low prices, at which he, a
manufacturer himself on the largest scale, was willing
to become a purchaser, are neither denied or explained.
The remedy suggested by " Verax" really ap-
pears too absurd—he suggests " that Mr. CRAW-
SHAY, or any other great iron-master, has only to
take the works into his own hands, he will probably
find no exorbitant terms demanded, and be troubled
with no complaint." What ! would Verax require
a private individual to purchase a disputed title, to
sacrifice a large sum, in order to save the Bank
directors from the losses to which their oNv n
foolish and imprudent conduct had exposed
them ? If a remedy "so simple" is not adopted,
" Verax" seems to think that no complaints can be
made of undue competition or under-sales by the
Bank. The public in general, the Legislature, and
the Ministry may, however, regard the matter in a
very different point of view, and the Bank may find,
to their cost, that so grave a departure from the re-
cognised sphere of their duties cannot be sanctioned
or tolerated.

ITALY.

The Constitutional Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the
27th ult., announces positively that the POPE has
resolved to stay at Gaeta. The Tempo of Naples,
however, states that apartments had been prepared
for him. He is stated to be in excellent health. The
Ambassadors of France, Spain, and Bavaria had ar-
rived at Naples, where all the corps di plomatique
were expected. The official journal announces the
arrival in that city of seven Cardinals, among them
Mgr. (LAasicuscurni, and says that others were ex-
pected.
The Nazionale of Florence states that the Grand
Duke ALEXANDER of RUSSIA, the eldest son of the
Emperor had dined with the Porx at Gaeta on the
Ist. The Grand Duke afterwards proceeded to
Naples, where he is about to marry one of the
daughters of the King.
Mr. TEMPLE arrived at Naples on the 6th inst.
with the ultimatum of England and France, on the
Sicilian question This ultimatum which, it is under-
stood, gives the Crown of Sicily to a son of the
King of NAPLES, and establishes a Neapolitan
army in the island, will not be accepted by the
Sicilians. Meetings have been held in vari-
ous parts of the island, which have been
attended by immense numbers of the inhabitants, in
which resolutions have been agreed to pledging the
islanders rather to submit to extermination than
suffer a Bourbon to reign over them.
The Alba has a letter from Rome of the 30th ult.,
which states that the city was tranquil. The Minister
of War was, however, making preparations for de-
fence. The Tempo of Naples of the 28th ult. states
that persons who Chad arrived from Rome brought
word that the clubs were in permanent sitting, that
a committee of public safety had been elected, and
that the arms of France and Bavaria had been burned
in the streets.

The Assembly, which has hitherto received the
greatest support from all classes of the community,
is about to dispatch envoys to the different Courts of
Europe to explain the circumstances attending the
late revolution.
Prince BOROHESE has left Rome and joined the
POPE at Gaeta.
The resignation of the Turin Ministry has been
officially announced to the Chambers.
The Concordia of Turin, of the 6th instant, states
that a second popular demonstration had been made
on that day, notwithstanding a heavy fall of snow.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

WARSAW, DEC. I.—The Administrative Govern-
ment of Poland has issued an edict, that from this
date the exportation of oats is again permitted on pay-
ment of the usual dues.

The Lubian Gazette says—" It is well known that
last autumn the city of St. Petersburgh received a
new commercial Constitution, which was said to be
the work of the Minister of the Home Department.
Government has now stated its intention of giving a
similar constitution to all the other cities of the em-
pire, and in these are to be included the East Sea
provinces. These cities still retain their ancient dis-
tinct constitutions, the maintenance of which was
solemnly guaranteed to them when they were incor-
porated in the Russian empire, which guarantees,
however, did not prevent CATHERINE from making
numerous infringements. By the recent government
measures, it is probable that the last remains of Ger-
manic law (the Lubian, Bremen, and Magdeburg)
will entirely disappear from our statute-book."

HILARY TERM.

At the commencement of Hilary Term, on Tuesday
next, the several courts of law and equity will resume
their sittings. The lists of arrears in the common-
law courts, which have just been exhibited, show an
aggregate of 368 applications, and, singularly enough,
the numbers are nearly equal. In the Court of
Queen's Bench there are 122, in the Common Pleas
126, and in the Exchequer 120. The Learned Judges
of the Court of Queen's Bench have, by their exer-
tions, reduced the number, and the Court of Common
Pleas, where the numbers were inconsiderable before
the Court was thrown open, has now no fewer than
82 rules for new trials. In the Queen's Bench there
are 39 special cases and demurrers for argument, and
eight for judgment; in the former, the demurrer in
the case of Bunn and Lind stands early. There are
64 rules for new trials and 11 for judgment. With
the exception of three, the earliest rule for
a new trial was obtained in Hilary Term
last. The following notice has been is-
sued :—" The special paper will not be taken dur-
ing Hilary Term, 1848, but on the days devoted to it,
viz., Tuesdays and Fridays; the new trial paper will
be taken after the Bar has been once gone through
for motions. The new trial paper will be absolute
on the usual days—viz., Mondays and Thursdays, and
the first and last four days of Term, in the event of
motions not occupying the Court on the last-men-
tioned days." In the remanet paper of the Court of
Common Pleas there are four enlarged rules, 82 rules
for new trials (the earliest of which was moved in
Michaelmas Term, 1846), and nine for judgment.
There are 26 demurrers and four registration appeals.
In the Court of Exchequer there are 17 rules in the
peremptory paper, and iu the demurrer list eight for
judgment and four for argument. In the special
paper there are four rules for judgment and 19 for
argument. In the new trial paper there are two rules
for the decision of the Court, and 66 for argument.

LONDON. WEDNNSDAY. JANUARY 5, 1848,

Nothing could be more powerful as a rejoinder,
more bitter as an annotation, or more earnest as a
remonstrance, than the communication addressed to
the Catholic Archbishop of TUAM by the Earl of
Slistrwsnunir. The correspondence is published in
another column, and we are satisfied there is not a
single one of the co-religionists of the Earl, be he
* member of the laity or be he a member of the priest-
hood, but must have his opinion of the distinguished
writer very materially elevated from the generous in-
dignation expressed by him against whomsoever shall
profane the majesty of religion by palliating the
deeds of the criminal assassin, or by becoming
the apologist of the still more criminal, be-
cause more responsible, denunciators. Hitherto
there has been manifest, both in the speech of Lord
BEAUMONT and in the letter of the Earl of ARUNDEL
and SURREY, that reverential submission to their
ecclesiastical superior which is in an especial manner
the characteristic of the Boman Catholic Church.
1-EWSpAT z. 644 BEAUMONT spoke strongly and decisively. Lord
-r-7,--4,Aii,I.NDEL i and SURREY wrote in the most energetic
ven impassioned language. Both of these young
jiN•^ u. men conjured the episcopal authorities of
to vindicate the outraged purity of the re-
liOto , and to proclaim the inviolable sanctity of its
uaries, by demonstrating either the cul-

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
This week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on
a moderate scale, and, for the most part, of very middling
quality, arising from the damp weather. To-day se-
lected parcels of both red and white were in fair request,
at fully Monday's quotations; but all other kinds were
dull sale, at barely stationary prices. Upwards of
13,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to band
since Saturday. For that article we had a very slow
inquiry, yet late rates were mostly supported. All kinds
of Barley were heavy. In value, however, we have no
further decline to notice. The Malt trade was in an
inactive state, at barely previous currencies. Oats,
Beans, and Peas were a dull inquiry. Indian Corn,
Meal and Flour, were quite as dear.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULDURN.)
IN RE COLUMBINE.

This was a meeting by adjournment for the last
examination of the bankrupt, who was solicitor to the
Direct London and Exeter Railway Company. The
case was adjourned on the last occasion, under an
order of the Lord Chancellor, until a petition then
pending before the Court had been heard.
Mr. Columbine now said that the petition had not
yet been heard, and it had been agreed on between
the solicitors on both sides that a further adjourn-
ment should take place, in order to complete some
arrargeinents to compromise all matters in dis-
pute, and to supersede the commission.
The SOLICITOR to the assignees said Mr. Colum-
bine was quite correct on the subject.
His lloNoun inquired whether the accounts had
been now perfected, as those given in previously were
incorrect. _ _ _

Mr. COLUMBINE said they had been deposited with
the official assignee ; they had been very carefully
prepared, and extended over a period of six years.
It was ultimately arranged that the meeting should
be adjourned until the 10th of March next.
In a former report, founded on the old accounts, an
error was made by which the Earl of Aylesbury and
Viscount Cantilupe were made debtors, they are in
fact creditors, the former for 1,245/. 7s , and the
latter 1,4901. The Duke of Buckingham is also a
creditor for 1,1001. On the other side the London
and Exeter Direct Railway Company are inserted
amongst the " good debts," for expenses and services,
2,8121. 10s., and for bill of costs 3501. Sir C.
