NAPLES.

A letter from Naples of the 28th says—
" The news of the insurrection of Lombardy reached
us on the 25th, and as soon as it became known the
people went en masse to the Austrian embassy, tore
down the imperial arms which decorated the facade,
dragged them to the Place della Vittoria, and burned
them. From thence the crowd went to the hotel of the,
Minister Bozzelli, cry ing Down with the Idinistrr
Down with Bozzelli, the renegade, the traitor to the
country !' In the morning of the 26th, more than,
three thousand persons assembled near the Boys"'
Palace, with two tricolour flags and a Lembardian flag'
crying Down with the Ministry! Succour for the
Lombards!' The cavalry was immediately ranged
before the gate of the Palace, and ordered to prepare,
for a charge ; but this demonstration increased
the exasperation ; the crowd at every moment
became greater, and the cries were more menacing,'
Thereupon M. ,Gabriel NO, colonel of the National
Guard, went from the Palace, and in the name of Oil
King promised that the Ministry should be changed'
and that orders should be given to assist the Lombardo,
In the evening of the 26th the people assembled again,
with the intention of burning the arms of the Russia°
embassy, but the Swiss troops had received orders te'
oppose this project. At eight o'clock in the evening'
the crowd assembled before the hotel of M. Serra Ce,'
!viola, and subsequently before those of the other SI:
nisters, uttering the same cries of Down with the
Ministry!' All the Ministers have given in their resit'
nations, which have been accepted, but the compositiO
of a new Cabinet encounters grave difficulties, beeaoo9
it is desired not to abandon old habits. However, if the
King does not act quickly, the people may say to hit°
It is too late!' and not in his place."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bales. There was no particular alteration in the mar-
ket. Railway Shares had a downward tendency. There
Was an absence of demand, and lower prices were sub-
mitted to.
The markets for produce and manufactures suffer
Materially by the political agitation being so industriously
fomented; and there are very unfavourable accounts from
Manchester and other places. The suspension of Birley,
Corrie, and Co., is confirmed, and Mr .Bauer, of Man-
chester and Amsterdam, has suspended, but whether
only temporarily remains to be seen, as a period of three
weeks has been allowed for the purpose of his agent in
England communicating with him. It is most unfor-
tunate that at this time, when we have abundance of
money, low prices for staples, and many other advan-
tages, that confidence should be shaken by the senseless
proceedings of disloyal men.
The West India accounts are satisfactory in regard
to the weather, but nothing more.
The following are some particulars of an important
branch of trade:—
"Iron—ln Welch and Staffordshire (although the
unsettled state of Continental affairs has lessened the
amount of current business) the price has not been so
materially affected as might have been anticipated,
several of the makers being well supplied with orders
previously taken. Makers of rails;shew no disposition
to reduce prices.
"Scotch :pig iron has however declined very much,
partly owing to the expectation that considerable quan-
tities bought during the winter, and intended fur ship-
ment during the spring and summer to Germany, may
be thrown upon the market for resale, and partly to
the circumstances that some large holders have been
selling their stocks. Considerable business was done
from 48s per ten down to 425, cash for all No. 1, and in
some instances for inferior brands 40s per ton was ac
cepted. The market has again rallied to about 41s to
425 mixed Nos., and 42s to 43s per ton all No. 1.
" These prices have drawn the attention of speculators
and consumers to the article, as they are under the cost
of production, while the stock of Scotch pig iron is much
smaller than for several years past, and the makers who
are supplied with orders are not sellers at current rates.
" Spelter has sustained a very heavy fall in price.
Political events in France, which country is one of the
largest consumers of the article, have entirely destroyed
the usual demand from that quarter for Silesian and
Belgian Speller, nearly the whole of which is conse-
quently expected to find its way to this market. Busi-
ness is said to have been done so low as 121. lOs. per ton
on the spot, and 121. per ton for arrival, but since the
sale of a large parcel at 131. 10s. per ten the market his
assumed a somewhat firmer aspect. The low price has
caused the English makers to blow out their furnaces,
and as it is under the cost of production on the Conti-
nent, the attention of speculators has been turned to-
wards it."
The revenue accounts are of so satisfactory a charac-
ter, under circumstances, that they afforded a topic for
cheerful conversation among the City men, but political
events seem to have stifled the importance of every other
consideration, though we hope only temporarily.
The English Securities have been very heavy, and
there is a further material decline. The resumption
of transfers, after the closing of the books during the
dividend calculations, has brought forward sellers, and
Consols are affected likewise. There are reports also
as'to intended delivery of Stock by large holders ; but,
of course, during a period of uneasiness, the speculators
for a fall are very active. Consols have been 80i to 801
for present Transfer, and the same for Account. Exche-
-suer-bills continue to advance, money being placed
111' them for want of any other medium. The
Premium has been 40s. to 445. Bank Stock has been
worth 1831 to 186. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents, have been 801 to 791.
Foreign Stocks are all lower. anish ive er Cents
have been 9i to 10, and the Three per CeFnts.,p 17 ito
Mexican Bonds are 141 to 14k. Dutch Tweeand-a-Hall
per Cents. have been 34i.
In Railway Shares there has been very little doing,
and prices are flat.

leave it to the jury to say whether they could, after
that, believe that tho articles were original.
The UNDEn-SHERIFF said such evidence could
not be received, unless the knowledge of the ar-
ticle in the Morning Post could be brought home
to the knowledge of the plaintiff; and, in the first place,
it would be necessary to call witnesses to prove that the
Morning Post was printed and published the day it bore
date.

The defendant said if he could not compare both ar-
ticles, the greater part of his defence would fall to the
ground.

The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said he was always
disposed to give fis much latitude as possible to de-
fendants who appeared in person, but he could not by
the rules of the Court, and in justice to other suitors,
admit evidence irregularly.
The defendant then applied for an adjournment, hut
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he did not think there
could be any doubt, after the admission of defendant in
the letter put in.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

FORGERY.—Thomas Schule, aged 22, a German, was
indicted for forging an endorsement to a bill of exchange
for 1001, on the 18th of January last, with the intention
of defrauding Messrs. Rothschild and Co., the eminent
commercial firm.

Mr. BODKIN stated the case against the prisoner. Ho
said the circumstances were of the most extraordinary
kind, and displayed an amount of ingenuity rarely
equalled. It appeared that in 1846, a young man named
Lawrence Weaver, a German, was sent by his father to
England for the purpose of pushing his fortune, and on
the understanding that if he should succeed in estab-
lishing himself in any eligible occupation, that he should
remit him money to assist him, he being entitled to about
300/. He happened to take up his abode in the same
house as the prisoner, in Goodman's. fields, and, in con-
sequence an intimacy sprung up between them, which
subsisted after he left the house. The prisoner was well
conversant with his affairs. Lawrence Weaver shortly
after left this country for America, a fact which was well
known to the prisoner, who, it appeared, then set him-
self to work to concoct a scheme by which he
might obtain money from the father of Weaver.
He entered ,into a correspondence with him in the
name of his son, stated that he saw an eligible
opening in the wine trade, that he was about to be mar-
ried to, a person possessing some property, and ulti-
mately requested a sum of money from the old German,
who at once remitted a bill at three na, nths' sight, pay-
able at the house of Messrs. Rothschild, the name of his
supposed son being endorsed upon it. Ho accompanied
the enclosure with his blessing. The Bill was endorsed
and paid in due course. Shortly after Weaver's father
heard that his son had died in one of the American
colonies, a statement which, of course, threw the whole
family into dismay. Soon after an application was
made to the father for a further remittance, with a re-
quest that the bill might be made payable at sight, and
not like the last, at three months. By the advice of
Messrs. Rothschild the money was forwarded, and when
the prisoner presented himself he wes told there was
some irregularity in the bill. He seemed surprised, said
his name was Lawrence Weaver, and that he had the
letter of his father enclosing the bill to him in his pos-
session, and, in the presence of several of the clerks, he
endorsed that name upon the back of the bill. He was
then taken into custody. At his lodgings the letters of
Hosnagel, the father-in-law of Weaver, were found,
together with other papers.

hundred persons sworn in, amongst the number were
the whole of the men servants in the establishment of
Baron Parke.

FREE TRADE CLUB.

The first annual dinner of the members of this
club took place last night at the club, 14, St. James's-
square.
Mr. Cobden, M.P., took the chair, and was supported
by Mr. Bright, M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., the Hon. H.
Berkeley, M.P., Mr. Lushington, M.P., Mr. Kershaw,
M.P., Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. John Brooks, Dr. Reid, Mr.
W. A. Wilkinson, Mr. Sergeant Shea, Mr. Bennoch, and
about 160 members of the club and their friends.
The CHAIRMAN, after having proposed the health of
the Queen and the Royal Family, which was drank with
considerable enthusiasm, proposed the toast of the even-
ing, "Prosperity to the Free Trade Club." He stated
that the club had been formed with the important view
of affording a nucleus for the meeting of those gentlemen
who coincided in opinion upon the subject of free trade.
Like other similar institutions, the club had had to pass
through its season of weakness and infancy, but he re-
joiced that, through the kind nursing of the committee,
the "bantling" had passed through all its dangers, and
was now fast arriving to lull manhood. The
club, from its commencement, had been tolerably
well supported. It numbered at present among
its members forty-three Members of Parliament, he
should be happy to see that number increased to 200 ;
if, however, 120 more members could be added to the
club, it would then be in a state of complete prosperity.
He thought that great objects were to be attained by
keeping up their organization at the present time. There
were grave errors abroad upon the subject of free trade
and political economy. They could not shut their eyes
to this fact. The influences of this club he wished to
see brought to strengthen the free-trade party in Parlia-
ment. lie rejoiced at the accession to their
strength upon the last election by the return of such men
as Colonel Thompson, the man who taught them all their
" Corn-law Catechism ;" as Mr. W. J. Fox, one of the
most
brilliantthe s
ate
o t oratorshis health,
rule,
was not then present, and
who, from the same cause, was not so often heard in the
as y, and whom he regretted,
from
House of Commons as he should wish ; Mr. Wilson, the
able practicaj economist, and others of well-known talent.
He trusted that the club would soon be able to present
itself to the public as the most prosperous of any in
Loudon.

Dr. Bownnea proposed " The health of the Chairman,"
and in so doing said that it had been remarked of the
late D. O'Connell, that his power consisted in this incar-
nation of the Irish people, that if eight millions could
have been concentrated in one individual—their wit and
their wisdom, their pathos and their poetry, their fun
and their folly, their greatness and their littleness, D.
O'Connell would have represented them all, and if he (Dr.
Bowring) were to take the man who was the representa-
tive of all the best of those attributes—of the wisest, the
sincerest, and the greatest of the English nation, and
sent that man forth to represent them to the universal
world, Richard Cobden would be the man whom ho
should send.—(Loud cheers.)
The CII.4.IRMAN having thanked the meeting for the
manner in which his health had been drunk, stated that
France was literally going mad upon the subjects of free
trade and political economy. The Provisional Govern-
ment there, were, however,
pies of Protectionism, only carrying out the princi
advocated by a portion of the
daily press. They were endeavouring to carry into
practice the doctrines of the Protectionists in this coun-
try, whom he had warned in the House of Commons
that if they protected one interest, they must not
only protect all interests but must fix the price of
labour and the time of labour. This was the attempt
made by the Provisional Government of France,
and a most pernicious attempt it would prove, and
probably one productive of more misery to the
mass of the people than even Robespierre had caused.
Hetrusted that Louis Blanc and his colleagues might
now work out their insane policy as soon as possible
upon the elevated platform where they were now per-
forming their
Europe might see their signal failure, and England
experiments, so that all the rest of ,
be thus spared the opportunity of repeating the experi-
ment.—(Cheers.) He had been charged out of the House
by some of the newspapers, and in the House by the
Hon. Member for Westminster (Sir De L. Evans) with
having returned from his visit to the continent boasting
that all the world were becoming free traders. So far
was this from being the fact that he had always said,
" Don't take the men who ftit,ed me as the representa-
tives of the people whom I visited." Those men were
now, as the free-traders in this country had for a
long time been,
in a minority on this question. Avery
interesting fact had come to his knowledge in connexion
with the rt cent revolutions on the Continent. He found
that there was not a single Provisional Government or
Ministry formed during the recent events in France,
Turin, Milan, or Venice, which did not contain among
them the names of mrn who sat beside him at those
banquets—(Cheers); and the same might be said of
those who took a prominent part in the recent events at
Frankfort, Hamburgb, Berlin, Koenigsberg, and
l)antzic. This looked well for the progress
of free-trade principles—(Hear)
;—but be would
not have them infer that those individuals were at once
prepared to carry out their principles, or that they were
in a position to do so; but it was worthy of remark, that
along with the establishment of free institutions, Ger-
many, France, and Italy had now what England had not,
a free press. The press of the whole continent, except
that of Russia, was now
perfectly free, for they had no
penny stamp, as in England, to fetter them. There was
no doubt that the late depressed state of trade had been
some disadvantage to the progress of the principles of
free-trade, but still statesmen upon the :continent would
understand what the Protectionists of this country would
not, viz., that free-trade had not caused that dullness;
that state of things had not been brought about by the
importation of a few (more quarters of corn into this
country, it had arisen from the potato rot and the
scarcity of corn; the repeal of the icorn-laws did not

The case was clearly proved against the prisoner by
several witnesses, and the letters, it appeared, were taken
in at the:Sun Coffee-house in Long-acre, at the request of
the prisoner, and it was proved that the letter containing
the cheque in question was taken in at his request, and
handed over to him.

Translations of the letters were then read. In one
addressed to his landlord, from the Giltspur-street Pri.
son, the prisoner stated that he had got himself into
trouble through incautiously taking a letter to Messrs.
Rothschild, in which a cheque was inclosed, for a per.
son who did not wish to go himself, and asking him to
destroy his papers.
The prisoner, in his defence, produced a paper which
was read by the clerk. He stated in it that he was the
victim of misplaced confidence in a person whom he was
unable to produce in Court. That person's name was
Sallie, who asked him (the prisoner) to put
Weaver's name on the bill, in order that he might trans-
mit the money to Weaver, who was then in America.
He assured the Court that he should not have done so,
if he bad believed the person named Schule intended to
keep the money; and, further, he besought the mercy
of the Court, on the ground that he was innocent, thLt
he was a foreigner ignorant of the English law, and
unable, in a foreign land, to produce witnesses to his
character, on which no stain had ever before been cast.
Mr. Justice ERLE summed up ; and the jury, after a
brief consultation, found the prisoner Guilty.
He was sentenced to be transported for ten years.
Mr. BODKIN stated that there was another indictment
against the prisoner, for the forgery of the first cheque,
which no doubt would have been clearly brought home
to him, but the object of the prosecution would be fully
satisfied by the conviction on the first.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL)
110118 Y v. ROWCROFT.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
191. 14s. 6d., the balance of an account for literary work
performed for the defendant. The plaintiff is a gentle-
man in the legal profession, and the defendant was pro-
prietor of Hood's Magazine. The claim was for a series
of articles furnished to the magazine in 1845 and 1846
under the title of " The Bar of England." ,
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. Harrison, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, proved
that he had seen the defendant on several occasions' and
the latter admitted that the amount was due, ant he
also iuTtructed witness to take out a summons to stay
proceedings on payment of the debt and costs. A sum-
mom was taken out, and left with defendant's solicitors,
but it was not returned.
The defendant cross-examined the witness, who said
that it was probable that he (witness) Chad suggested
that the summons should be taken out on defendant
stating that he wished for time to pay.
(A letter signed by the defendant was put in, acknow-
ledging the receipt of the first article, and offering six
guineas for a sheet of 16 pages.)
The witness produced the numbers, and pointed out
the articles, intituled " The Bar of England, from the
papers of the late J. E. A., Esq." Did not know that
they were taken from the papers of the late Mr.
Adolphus.
The defendant addressed the jury, and said that the
plaintiff, when he proposed to supply the articles, said
that they would be written from the papers of the late
Mr. Adolphus, and it was only in that belief that he
received the
papers and gave them insertion in the ma-
gazine, and it was not until after all the articles had
been inserted and he had given up the proprietorship of
the magazine that he heard they were knot taken from
any such papers, and he (defendant) believed they
were not original,i or had, at all bii.lied
before. He would read an article innt the Morning Post
of the 4th of August, 1845, and then one of the ar-
ticles ill the magazine in September, 1845, and then

NE I} COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman FARNCONB.)
George Wm. Rowley, aged 54, a most respectable-
looking man, described in the calendar as an engineer,
was indicted for obtaining, by false pretences, of William
Tent, a quantity of wearing apparel, value 4/. 155., and
the sum of five shillings, with intent to cheat him thereof.
Mr. Wilde was counsel for the prosecutor, and Mr.
Parry defended the prisoner.
From the statements of the Learned Counsel for the
prosecution, it appeared that Mr. Tent (the prosecutor)
was a hosier, carrying on business at the Ruyal Ex
change, and that on the 18th of December last the pri-
soner called at his shop ,and purchased hosiery, to the
amount of 41. 155., in payment of which he tendered a
cheque, drawn by himself on the Western Branch of the
Joint Stock Bank, 69, Pall.mall. Mr. Tent demurred to
receive the cheque, and giving the five shillings change,
but ultimately did so, the prisoner stating that he would
give the cheque, if Mr. Tent wished it, for the exact
amount. On the cheque being presented for payment it
was dishonoured for want of funds. From the state
ment of the clerk of the banking-house it appeared that
the prisoner's wife, who is a lady of independent pro-
perty, had a private account at the bank, and that in
March, 1847, 1501. was paid in on the prisoner's account,
but that sum was exhausted by cheques drawn by the
prisoner in a month or two afterwards ; and at the time
he drew the cheque in favour of Mr. Tent he had no
funds in the bank. After the examination of several
witnesses on behalf of the prosecutor,
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
soner, contending that he was entitled to an acquittal,
inasmuch as having no pass-book with the Bank it was
very easy for him to suppose he had so small a sum as
51. in their hands when he had nothing in reality.
The RECORDER summed up, and
Guile jury, after some consultation, found the prisoner
y.
There was another indictment against the prisoner,
for getting change for another cheque for Si., which was
not proceeded with.
The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to twelve
months' imprisonment and hard labour, observing that
if he was again convicted of a similar offence he would
be certainly transported.

A—deputation of the Quadrant Improvement Associa-
tion, consisting of Messrs. Crane, Moss, Snoxell, and
Poulson, and Mr. Newton, Secretary, had an interview

Sir William lleathcote and Ltr. Denison had an inter-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM SPRING MEETING.
ErsoM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. —The entries for the
Plate closed at five o'clock this afternoon, and it will be
seen from the subjoined outline of the engagements, that
a most brilliant day's sport may be anticipated. The
number of events to come off will render an early com-
mencement necessary, the racing will therefore begin at
one with the match between Laird-o'• Cockpen and Chat-
ham; Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Plate will follow, at half-
past one; at half-past two the Great Metropolitan
Handicap will be run, and at half-past three the Two
Yrs Old Stakes; the "heats" races will be run at the
usual half-hour intervals. That everything may be per-
fectly en regle, the Newmarket officials, viz, Mr. Clark,
judge; Mr. Hibburd, starter; Mr. Manning, clerk of the
scales; and Mr. Starling, clerk of the course, have been
engaged. The refreshment rooms will be under the di-
rection of Mr. Lumley, who made so successful a debut
last year. It is beyond a doubt that there will be an
immense attendance. The directors of the Brighton
Railway Company have therefore announced their inten-
tion to run express trains every half-hour, both before
and after the races, and have made arrangements to pre-
vent the', confusion that occurred on the Derby-day last
year. The members of the Subscription. room at Hyde
Park corner will be enabled to obtain tickets there this
afternoon, and will thereby save themselves a good deal
of trouble at the stations. Active preparations are in
progress on the course; in fact, nothing has been lost
sight of that will contribute to the comfort of the visitors
or the convenient transaction of busines3. The running
ground, wo can state from personal inspection, it in finer
order than has been known for many years.
In the following programme we have placed an aste-
risk before the horses that, have either already arrived,
or for whom boxes have been engaged; several of them,
including Cracow, are not expected until.this (Thursday)

Numerous
workmen have been employed on the new for
some time past, to have them in a fertair ve tp meet the

xlat and
peeted to arrive at Osborne on Saturdayam,!.ly
are the vast improvements made in the buildings Such
grounds, that these who went over Osborne
would scarcely know it this. The house her Majy„7;
originally occupied has been pulled down, and a splendid
palace erected in its place, to which that built in the two
preceding years forms a wing.
FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.—Lord Galloway and
family have arrived at Cowes Castle; Joseph Gee, Esq.,
at the Trinity Parsonage; Captain Snodgrass at Aven-
ing Villa.; Captain C. Hamlyn Williams, R.N., has taken
Belmore House.

MIRAGE.---Many of our inhabitants and visitors were
filled with wonder and astonishment by one of those
optical illusions on Monday last. The whole of Stoke's
Bay seemed suspended in the air for nearly two hours,
and at one time the windmill had increased to three, one
above the other, the middle one and the trees and houses
being inverted.

GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND.-A meeting of the
members of this institution, established in 1839, for the
granting of annuities to aged and decayed actors, and
relief to their widows and orphans, was held yesterday
at the saloon of the Lyceum, Mr. Lewis in the chair,
when the annual report and financial statement (pre-
sented to the general meeting of the members on Ash
Wednesday) was laid before the subscribers for confir-
mation. It appeared that the capital invested was
4,014/. 10s. Bd., and in the hands of Mr. Buckstone, the
treasurer, 39/. Bs. 10d., making a total of 4,0531. 193. 6d.
The receipts during the past year had been 7461. 93.4 d.,
leaving a balance of 3961. 63. 2d. It was stated that in
1846 four members, of the respective ages of 67, 63, 69.
and 58 years, were granted annuities of 251. per annum,
and the directors were now happy to inform the sub-
scribers to the fund, that they had been enabled to add
Si. to each annuitant for the year ensuing. The minutes
and the annual balauce-sheet having been confirmed, a
vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.
General Skrzynecki, Commander-in-Chief of the
Polish army in 1835, and since serving as general ot
division in the Belgian service, is on the point, it is said,
of quitting Brussels to join Prince Czartoryski at Posen,
the general rendezvous of the Polish patriots.
FORFEITURE OF FELONS' PROPERTY.—Mr. Ewart
has given notice, in the House of Commons, that he will
to-morrow (Friday), move for the preparation and pro-
duction of a return showing the amount of forfeitures of
felons' property to the Crown in each of the last three
years; specifying the names of the several cases in which
such forfeiture has taken place, and the several amounts
forfeited; also showing how much of the said property
was restored by the Crown; and specifying all the fees
or other charges levied under such process of forfeiture,
or previous to such act of restoration.
The workmen in the turners and painters' depart-
ments, Woolwich, have been engaged for several days in
making:constables' staffs, and work over hours, from six
o'clock in the morning until eight P.X.
ASSOCIAZIONE NAZIONALE ITALIANA.—The third
meeting of the association was held last night at the
Western Literary Institution, Leicester-square. The
President, Signor Pistrucci, after reading an extract
rota an Italian journal on the form ot government
which Italy, when free and independent, should adopt,
opened the proceedings by informing the meeting that
Signor Giglioli, having lett London, it was necessary to
elect a vice president in his room, and Signor Fenzi was
unanimously chosen to supply the vacancy occasioned
by Signor Giglioli's departure. The president then re-
minded those who heard bim that they met, not for de.
clamation, but for business, and he would, therefore, at
once lay before the meeting what had been done by. the.
special committee during the past week. Twelve inch
viduals had been furnished with the means of reaching
Paris on their way to Italy, and the sum of 515 francs
had been sent to the central society in that city to be
distributed among the volunteers, as they arrived, for
the prosecution of their journey. It was agreed that an
address should be prepared to the Italians resident in
England, Scotland, and Ireland, calling upon theta to
subscribe for the purpose of sending, if not men, at
least, arms to Italy, but tho project of an address to the
English was abandoned. The President then read a
copy of an address to the inhabitants of Milan, which
was adopted by acclamation, and ordered to be trans-
mitted immediately to the Provisional Government of
that city. After the transaction of some routine business,
the meeting separated.

UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.—Yesterday a general
meeting of the Senate of the University was held at
