NAPLES.

Out of the different rumours prevalent at
Naples up to the 29th ult. we extract
the following, as at once the most important
and the most probable :—Plots against the life of the
KING extended their ra►nifications within the pre-
cincts of the royal palace itself, and it was said that
many individuals bad taken a solemn vow to avenge
their relatives and friends murdered by royal order
on the lath, and to expiate them by the blood of King
FERDINAND. In short, there was every ground for
expecting another explosion. Even in the opinion of
the more moderate spectators it is felt that all con-
ciliation between the KING and the people is hence-
forth impossible.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1848.

b—y Chartists. This offended them ; but they denied using
the least abusive language to him in return.
Mr. HARDWICK fined them 30s. each, or ten days to the
House of Correction.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY )
The greater portion of the morning was occupied in read-
ing over the depositions regarding those persons who were
yesterday charged with havingbeen concerned in the riotous
proceedings and conflicts with the police, arising out of the
Chartist assemblages on Sunday last at Bethnal-green, and
near the Victoria Park. .

A great deal of excitement still manifested itself in the
neighbourhood, and the street was literally thronged, chiefly
by friends of the prisoners, who betrayed great anxiety to
obtain a glimpse or them preparatory to their departure in
the prison van for their destination.
Thomas Richards, a well-known audacious thief, and one
of a gang who infest the east end of the metropolis, was
charged with robbing a lady, named Susannah Cowling, of
No. 66, Sun-street, Bishopsaate, of four half-crowns and
three shillings and sixpence.
Mrs. Cowling said she was passing through Shoreditch, at
about ten o'clock on Saturday night, when she felt a sud-
den tug at her pocket, and on turning round distinctly saw
the prisoner withdraw his hand therefrom. He instantly
ran off, followed, however, by her, with the cry of " stop
thief," and he was caught hold of by a gentleman who
handed him over to the police.
He was fully committed for trial.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Edward Canton, a youth, apprentice to Mr. Fisher, boot-
maker, of Clerkenwell-green, was placed at the bar, before
Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Mr. James Child, high constable
of Finsbury, with having endeavoured t• incite the populace
to violence against the police, and pelting them with
stones. It appeared from the evidence that on Monday
night last a great crowd of Chartists assembled on Clerken-
well-green, and were preparing to harangue the public. when
a large body of police, headed by their inspectors, made their
appearance, and commenced dispersing them ; whilst so
doing, a cry was raised to " Down with the police; give it the
b-," and they were hooted and pelted with stones. The
prisoner was observed by Mr. Child to pick up
stones several times and throw them at the officers,
and after doing so, he ran away, returned, and pelted them
again, whilst he called on the mob to pelt them, and ex-
claimed, 'Give it them." Mr. Child sought his opportunity,
and just as he had flung another stone, he ( Mr. Child)
pounced upon him, and held him until the arrival of several
officers, who took him into custody. They were followed by
an immense number of persons, who commenced hooting ;aid
pelting at them. Mr. Child and the officers were struck and
injured by the stones.
Mr. Child said they were at the corner of Red Lion. street,
Clerkenwell, when 400 persons and upwards attacked the
police. They were tumultuous in their conduct, and calcu-
lated to alarm the public, many of whom had complained of
the rioters to the police.
Greenhard, 153 G, said, that there were upwards of 400
persons on the Green. The police were called upon to dis-
perse them, and they were a:tout twenty minutes doing
so. They were hooted and pelted. Witness was injured
from a blow of a stone.

Mr. nll%llll-1' asked the prisoner if he wished to say any-
thing in his defence, as he intended to commit him for trial
at the Central Criminal Court.

The prisoner denied the charge, saying he had just left
off his work, and was going to W hitechapel for his master.
He had not been on Clerkenwell-green two minutes when he
was taken into custody.
The depositions having been taken, the prisoner was fully
committed to take his trial.

An order has been received from the Secretary of State by
the Metropolitan Police Magistrates, that in future, in all
attacks of this sort upon the police, the parties are to be
fully committed for trial.

immediately after which those attending the obsequies
retired.

posited in a catacomb until such time as the tomb is com-
pleted which is to be prepared for the reception of the
coffin, when the body will be transferred to its final resting
place.
