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.

ALDGATZ WARD.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs, Thomas Quested Finnis, Esq., Alderman
of the Ward of Tower; J. E. Goodhart, Esq., Alderman
llnmphrey, and several gentlemen of the Common
Council, went in state to the church of St. Katharine
Cree, Leadenhall-street. After divine service the Re►.
J. Jerram, tho 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 aro engaged for her Royal Highness at the
Bedford Hotel. The rain has been almost incessant for
the last two days, and has prevented the Royal Family
taking their accustomed out-of-door exercise.

ATTEMPT AT ASEASSINATION.--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
whilst he was gazing at some distant object, and inflicted
a serious gash near his neck with a knife. The gentle-
man is now under strict surveillance, and labours, it
aeems, under au aborration:of intellect,--Cambrian.

CITY, (217 A R7'EI? TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
teady, and prices were firmly supported. Sales 4,000
bales.-There was no improvement in Railway Shares,
and the transactions were small.
The Tea Market just now is reported to have been
very dull during the past month, and prices drooping,
although the home deliveries have continued good. The
exportation of the article has, however, fallen off con-
siderably, owing to the state of affairs on the Continent.
The stock in London is 31,900,00n1b5., or about
2,000,0001b5. less than at the corresponding date of
1847. The stock of Company's Congou is reduced to
816 chests.
Tho Mining Share Market was not so active last
week, although advanced rates were paid for Devon
Great Consols, and Stray Park have been in request.
Camborne Consols are represented to be improving
daily. -
At the meeting of the shareholders in the South
Wheal Tolgus Company the statement of accounts pre-
sented a balance of 1371. 7s. 3d. against the adventurers;
the actual loss on the two months' working appears to
be 7.34 13s. 6d. The prospects of this mine aro highly
favourable; and the agent's report calculates- returning,
for the current two months, about 7001. worth of ore.
The present depth is only 22 fans.; the shaft is in course
of sinking to the 32.
The Stray Park and Camborne Vein Mines, two
monthly accounts showed a profit of 3021. 19s. 7d.
on July and August workings; the balance in hand
amounts to 6314 Bs. 2d., with the copper ore bill for ores
sold, un the sth, of 2,221/. 13s. sd. The captain's report
is very satisfactory and encouraging; all the ends are,
with one exception, productive, and a material
improvement is anticipated in the 90, going
west. The pitches throughout the mines are looking
well, and 500 tons are expected fur the next sampling.
At the Wheal Setan Adventurers' two-monthly ac-
count a dividend of 101. per 99th share was declared.
The financial statement shows a profit of 833/. Bs. 6d. on
July and August workings, which, added to the ba-
lance of last account, gives 1,4491. Is. 4d., and, after
payment of the dividends, a balance of 4591. Is. 4d. is
carried to the next account. The agent's report of the
mine is of the most satisfactory character; the 90, 80,
and 60 feet levels, and the winzo sinking below the 80,
are each producing eight tons of ore to the fathom; the
stopes in the backs of the 70 and 80 are each producing
twenty tons to the tim.; the 70 is turning out ten tons;
the stopes in the back of the 60 fifteen tons; and the
winze below this level eight tons to the fm.
The Belgian Chambers are expected to meet in No-
vember next, when it is intimated that there will be no
speech from the throne, but that business will at once be
proceeded with.
The Emperor of Morocco has modified the duties
upon imports from France. Iron, skins, and other arti-
cles are specified.
There appears to have been a scarcity of money on
the Paris Bourse, and many parties who had been
waiting to sell stock when the state of siege was raised,
expecting a rally in prices, came forward, and thus pro-
duced a depressing influence. - ••
There has been a very depressed market for the Public
Securities, and the fall is f per cent. upon Saturday's
values. Consols have been 841, and since 841 for
transfer to-morrow, and a good deal of speculative
business has been done at 84 to 841. The weakness of
the Funds can hardly be accounted for by any news from
abroad of a more unfavourable tenor than that previously
to hand, but the decline at Paris has its effect. Exche •
quer-bills have realised 375. to 40s. premium, and India
Bonds 375. Bank Stock is worth 184. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 84* to 83t.
The Foreign Bonds have been very quiet. Mexican
are firm at 19} to 4. Portuguese Five per Cents. are
at 68. Spanish Three per Cents. are 22. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. 441 to
The Railway Share Market is decidedly worse again,
and all the lines are equally depressed. Sales continue
to be pushed, and holders must be greatly in want of
money to make such heavy sacrifices.

ARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market last week,
Coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, were
on a very limited scale for the time of year, and of mid-
dling quality, at least a moiety of the supply being out
Of condition. The receipts from Ireland and Scotland
were Unimportant; but the foreign importations were
itgalb extensive, viz :-28,054 qrs of Wheat; 10,581 ditto
of Barley; 31,801 ditto of Oats; 1,064 ditto of Rye; 702
ditto of Beans; 4,840 ditto of Peas; 762 ditto of Tares;
• 106 ditto of Linseed; 308 ditto of Rape-seed; 70 ditto
of Mwtard- seed;
.1,102 ditto of sundry seeds, including
about 600 quarters of Indian Corn; and 4,366 sacks of
Irlour. The quantity. of Wheat received fresh up to
this morning's market from Essex was ♦ery moderate,
and of but middling quality. From Kent, Cambridge-
shire, &c., the fresh supply was trifling in the extreme.
Hence, the stands were scantily supplied with all
kinds of '%'heat of home produce. As the attendance
of both town and country millers—most of whom were
somewhat short of stock—was good, the demand for
the best qualities of English Wheat, both Ted and white,
was firm, at, in some instances, an advance in the prices
obtained on Monday last of fully is per quarter; and
at which a- good clearance of such descriptions was
effected at an early hour. The middling and inferior
parcels were a slow sale, yet last week's quotations were
generally supported, although the market did not close
very brisk -for the lower qualities. With free Foreign
Wheat we were liberally sapplied—several cargoes hav-
ing been reported since the returns were made up on
Saturday evening. Picked samples moved off freely at ex-
treme rates of value, and at which a good business was
done. Damp and low parcels were a slow sale, at late rates.
The quantity of English and fine foreign barley on
show was small. Selected samples moved off freely at
Is per quirter more money. Grinding and distilling
sorts were held at full rates of currency. Some of the
factors refused to sell except at a trifling advance. There
vvas a steady retail demand for the best Malt, some quan-
tity of which changed hands at is per quarter more
money. Brown qaalities and the middling descriptions
of Ware were quite as dear.. The supply was small
for the time of year. The supply of home-
grown Oats was very small—that of foreign tolerably
good. On the whole the Oat trade was firmer than for
same time past, but we have no improvement in prices.
We were rfioderately supplied with Beans, nevertheless,
the demand for that article was in a sluggish state, at
about last week's prices. In Peas, exceedingly little
business was transacted. The quotations, however, ruled
the same as on Monday last. Indian Corn and Meal
were somewhat neglected. Most qualities were to be
purchased on somewhat lower terms. Fine Flour was
qttite as dear. The middling and sour parcels were
neglected.

Abi at 1,200 head of stock have been landed at Hull and
the other nerthera outports, and 14 Oxen at Southamp-
ton. from Spain. We perceive that the importation of
Merino Sheep has been recommenced. We trust that
every care will be taken by the authorities to prevent
the introdection of those which may in any way be
affected with disease, as we have no hesitation in saying
that our flock masters and others have suffered severe
losses by these importations. It is pretty generally un-
derstood that very few, if any, more Beasts will arrive
hither this year either from Spain or Portugal. No im-
provement in the quality of that description of stock has
yet taken place. The breed generally is of very light
weight. There were received at Southampton yesterday
S 2 Oxen from Oporto. The principal portion of the
earga arrived hither this morning, per railway, in got d
condition.- The show of foreign stock to-day, oa leg to
the non-arrival of two Dutch steamers laden with cattle,
was very moderate, even the time of year considered.
Generally—speaking, the quality was inferior. The
primest Beasts, 'Sheep, and Calves, were in moderate
request, at MI prices. Otherwise the demand ruled
heavy. From those quarters whence the principal por-
tions of our bullock droves are derived at this period of
the year, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning by
"drift" and railway, were seasonably large as to number.
There was, however, a great deficiency observable in
their general quality. Notwithstanding the unfavour-
able state of the weather for slaughtering, the primest
Scots, Devons, Herefords, runts, &c., commanded a
steady, though by no means brisk inquiry, at prices fully
equal to those cbtained on Monday last. The middling
and inferior breeds of Beasts were dull in sale, at barely
last week's currencies, and a total clearance was not
effected. A few very superior Scots sold at 4s 2d 'per
glbs ; but the more general top figure for Beef did not
exceed 4s per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicesterhire
and Northamptonshire, we received about 1,600 short
horns; from the eastern, western, and midland counties,
1,200 Herefords, Runts, Devons, Scots, &c ; from
other parts of England, 400 of various kinds, and
from Scotland, 160 horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of Sheep exhibited a slight falling off,
both as to number and quality. The few prime Downs
on offer commanded a steady inquiry, at full rates of
Currency. Half breds and other descriptions of Sheep
were very slow in sale, at barely stationary prices.
nowever, nearly the whole of the Sheep found buyers.
Prime small Calves were tolerably firm, at late rates.
Otherwise, the Veal trade was in a sluggish state, at
unaltered quotations. With Pigs we were tolerably well,
but not to say heavily, supplied. On the whole, the
Pork trade was firm, at late rates.

Several cargoes of Potatoes have arrived from Scot-
land and the north of England since Monday last. The

Criminal Court are still in Newgate.
The grand jury having been empanelled and sworn.
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them. He stated that the calendar contained a list of
230 prisoners for trial, and there was no doubt
that that number would be augmented during the labours
of the grand jury. He trusted, however, that even with
such an addition the grand jury would be able to get
through the important duties they had to perform in the
course of a few days, for although there were many
very serious charges in the calendar, the depositions in
most of the cases were not volutuinous, and the points
involved in them were more questions of fact than
niceties in points of law. There were two or three
cases in the calendar to which ho felt himself compelled
shortly to advert. Ho could not but lament that, in
addition to three charges of murder and two of man-
slaughter, there were no less than fifteen cases of
feloniously cutting and wounding with intent to do
grievous bodily harm, and there was also
a charge of attempting to shoot a police-
man while in the discharge of his duty.
It was melancholy to observe that acts of violence with
instruments calculated to do mischief were greatly on
the increase.' A few years ego, the use of such weapons
as the knife in assaults was a circumstance of rare oc-
currence, but, unhappily, now session after session
proved its improper use was greatly on the increase.
There were, as he had stated, 230 prisoners for trial.
Among that number there were 140 charged with lar-
ceny, but under circumstances of considerable variety,
69 of these cases were ordinary larcenies, 13 were lar-
cenies committed in dwelling-houses, 10 larceny from
the person, 39 by servants, 5 cases of letter-stealing, 13
cases where parties were charged as receivers of stolen
goods, and 5 cases of robbery. There was also a case
of arson on the calendar, upon which he felt bound to
make a few observations, as the evidence in that
case was of a rather peculiar nature. With
regard to the offence of arson, it was aggravated
if any person was in the dwelling-house at the time it
was set on fire. He, however, collected from the de-
positions that in the case that would be submitted to
the greed jury for their consideration there were no
persons in the dwelling-house except the parties con-
cerned. In the case that would be brought before the
grand jury two parties were charged with the crime of
arson, and the object which it was alleged they bad to view
was to defraud an insurance office. He would not advert
to the particulars of the case, because it might prejudice
the minds of the grand jury; at the same time, he felt
bound to make one or two observations upon the mode
in which the charge was likely to be presented to the
notice of the grand jury, in order to guide them in the
discharge of their duties. The charge of arson in the
case he was alluding to, according to the depositions,
was sustained more or less by the persons concerned in
the charge, and the grand jury would therefore receive and
consider with some carefulness the statements of such per-
sons; he believed however that there would be acts of con-
firmation sufficiently proved to induce the grand jury to
put the matter in a state for further inquiry. With re-
spect to the cases of murder, one was the case of child
murder by the mother. In that case the evidence of the
surgeon would be most important, as the grand jury
would learn from him whether or not it was satisfacto-
rily proved that the child was born alive. The other case
of murder was one in which two parties were charged with
the use of instruments employed to procure abortion and
the administration of drugs and poison, or other noxious
matters, to effect the same end. Now, with respect to
this case, he was bound to tell the grand jury that the
attempt to procure abortion by the use ofeinsutsreumnefnstusnohr
the administering for that purpose drugs and noxious
matter, was in itself a folony, and if the
instruments or the administering of such drugs
terminated in death, the party using such
instrument or administering such drugs, was, in the
eye of the law, guilty of murder. The question for the
grand jury would be, did the party employ those instru-
ments and administer those drugs for the purpose of
procuring abortion, if they did, and death ensued, the
grand jury would be bound to find a true bill against
them for murder. There was another charge, of re-
turning from transportation before the expiration of the
sentence, that was formerly a capital offence, but the
law had been altered in that respect. The Learned
Recorder, after shortly adverting to some of the other
eases in the calendar, and remarking upon the importanl
functions the grand jury were called upon to perform,
remitted them to the discharge of their duties, and at the
same time expressed a hope that the day was far distant
when the grand juries of England, !which many thought
were useless, and others unnecessary, would bo dispensed
with.

The Court then proceeded to swear in tho petty jury.

SURREY SESSIONS—(THIS
These sessions commenced this morning at the Ses-
sions-house, Newington-causeway, before Thomas Puckle,
1.;(4., and a full bench of magistrates. The Grand Jury
having been brit fly charged by the Chairman,
Jane Johnson, 27, was indicted for stealing a shilling,
the property of Frederick Charles Jones.

Tne prosecutor keeps a chemist's shop in the Black-
friar's-road, and the prisoner came to him and asked for
a pennyworth of strapping, for which she tendered a
half-crown. Tho change was given to her, but after
drawing the prosecutor's attention to her arm, she took
up the change, and asserted that she had been given a
shilling short. Prosecutor gave her another shilling,
and followed her into another shop, where she attempted
the same trick.
The CHAIRMAN said the indictment could not be sus•
tained, as it was not a felony. She must therefore be
acquitted, but the prosecutor could, if he thought proper,
indict her for fraud.
Acquitted accordingly.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.

Richard Übsdell was placed before Mr. Bingham,
charged with creating a disturbance at Mr. Beesley's,
the Black Horse, Rathbone•place, and breaking three
drinking glasses, value 3s. He was also charged with
assaulting Mr. Henry Fowler, a cabinet-maker, residing
in Bernera• street.

It appeared that on Saturday night the defendant,
accompanied by a female, entered the complainant's
house and called for some gin, which was served him.
Whilst ho was drinking the liquor Mr. Fowler addressed
a few words to the female, which aroused the defendant's
feelings, and without the least provocation he (defendant)
flew at Mr. Fowler, and struck him several blows in the
face. Mr. Beesley interfered, and tried to prevent de-
fendant from hitting Mr. Fowler. Defendant then laid
hold of the avatar jug which was standing on the bar,
and threw it amongst the glasses, three of which he
broke. He was proceeding to further violence, when
complainant sent for a constable, and gave him in charge.
The defendant admitted striking Mr. Fowler, but
alleged that he had received sufficient provocation to
warrant him in acting in the manner he had done.
Mr. BINGHAM fined him 20s. for the assault on Mr.
Fowler, and in addition ordered him to recompense Mr.
Beesley for the damage done.
Four boys, agel respectively twelve anti thirteen
years, were charged with gambling in the public street
during Divine service on Sunday morning.
C 130, was on duty in Chapel-street, and saw the four
boys playing " all fours." Ile went up to them and took
them all into custody.
The boys stoutly denied the charge, and were fined
one shilling each.
The boy's parents paid the money, and promised to
flog them well.

THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.—The Lord Chancellor

NATIONAL EDUCATION IMPROVED, OR, " DANT
CRUSTULI. BLANDI," &c.—Once upon a time, quoth
Horace, tender pedagogues were wont:to give CTUStilla or
cakes to their pupils to coax them into accidence.
Hence, " Old Crusty," say the etymologists, became,
amongst boys, the common designation of a schoolmaster.
According to a country paper, the same principle has
been revived, but it is much to be feared that insubordi-
nation will arise, as the young urchins will be continually
.smoking their master:—" We are informed that a person
who has opened an evening school in Brigg, conducts it
upon a general national principle, viz., introducing smok-
ing between the ending of one task and the commence-
ment of another, master and pupils both enjoying the
same national luxury together.', •
A GRAND JURYMAN ACTING WHILE IN A FIT OF
APOPLEXY.—WhiIe Mr. John Yearsley, ironmonger, of
North-street, was acting as foreman of the grand jury
at the Lewes Sessions, on Tuesday morning, he was sud-
denly seized with a fit of apoplexy. In order to allow the
rest of the jury to proceed with the business, he was
removed to the large room in which they sat,
where ho lay during the day attended by a Sur-
geon, who expected every minute to see his pa-
tient depart this life. In the evening he rallied, and was
removed by his wife and relatives (who had been sent
for) to a bed room in Mr. Cowper's residence, at the
back of the County Hall. Mr. Yearsley passed a very
restless night; but on the following morning he had re-
covered sufficiently to ask a variety of questions, indi-
cating that he had no recollection whatever of what had
passed subsequently to the attack.—Brighton Gazette.
