cause, is, it would appear, exhibiting a tendency to revert to
his former opinions. The following letter, dated Genoa, 6th
May, appears in the Constitutionneh—
" A great excitement prevails in this city and throughout
the whole of the Sardinian dominio!ls. Several circumstances
tending to prove a liberal tendency in the Government, and a
difference which has arisen between Sardinia and Austria, have
given rise to hopes in the minds not only of the inhabitants
of this kingdom, but of the other Italian States."
. .

Letters from Turin state that, on the announcement of an
intended review by the KING of the garrison of Tarin, the
inhabitants, in their excitement, shouted " Long live
CHARLES ALBERT, King of Italy," and that the Austrian
Ambassador having taken offence at this, and demanded his
passports, the Government, in order to tranquillise him,
countermaneed the review, on a plea of a sudden indisposi-
tion of the Sovereign. Austria is the more alarmed, con-
tinues the letter, because this excitement has spread to Lom •
hardy, and has manifested itself at Bologna, and in Romag-
nia, where cries of " Long lives CILARLES ALBERT, King of
Italy," were also uttered. Preparations are making for
celebrating in Genoa, upon a grand scale, the centenuary of
the expulsion of the Austrians from that city in 1746.

Madrid papers of the 7th have been received.
On the 2d an emuete occurred at Malaga. The Impartial
reports that dispatches had been received by the Government
from the political chief of that city, stating that on the 2d of
May, whilst he was walking in the streets, accompanied by a
number of officers, a band of men fired upon his party. The
colonel of the provincial regiment of Granada was mor-
tally wounded. In various other parte of the town shots were
fired during the day. The authorities, however, had suc-
ceeded in restoring tranquillity.
We learn from the .Heraldo that Runni and the members
of the Insurrectionary Junta at Galicia have succeeded in
effecting their escape into Portugal. They are at present at
Viana. We find in the same journal a contradiction (which
we presume may be considered as official) of the rumour
that the Government had it in contemplation to dissolve the
provincial regiments.
A letter from Caraccas, dated 26th March, is published in
the Tiempo. It states that a Minister Plenipotentiary from
the Republic of Venezuela to the Court of Madrid was about
to embark for Spain, and that he was empowered to ratify
the treaty of amity and navigation between Spain and Vene-
zuela, which had been negotiated by M. MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA.

The Three per Cents. were done at 32 9-16 for cash ; the
shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 320; and those of
Isabel, at 185.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

The project of law relative to the Belgian treaty passed the
Chamber of Peers on Tuesday by a large majority, as did the
Domestic Sugar Bill. The debate on the extraordinary cre-
dits was continued:on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, and had not concluded when the post left.
In the course of the debate on Wednesday, M.
GUIZOT, in reply to M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, Vin-
dicated England against the charge of having prevented
the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between France and
Morocco, and declared that the objections to that treaty had
proceeded entirely from the Emperor of MOROCCO himself.
A treaty of commerce has been lately concluded between
France and Sardinia, on terms so favourable to France as to
suggest the idea that the King of SARDINIA had been in-
duced to make these concessions in consequence of some secret
understanding hostile to Austria. It is said, however, that
there is no reason to believe that the King of SARDINIA con-
templates any difference with Austria. Baron D'ANDRE,
who arrived in Paris from Turin on Tuesday, was the bearer
of the ratification of the treaty by the King of SARDINIA.
The squadron, under the command of the Prince DE JOIN-
VILLE, was to sail from Toulon on the 11th.

A species of panic prevailed on the Paris Bourse on Wed-
nesday, for which several causes were suggested—one, that
the provincial share-markets were glutted and money scarce ;
another, that, Sir R. PEEL'S Ministry was again, and this
time seriously, nenaced by dislocation ; another, that a colli-
sion in the Gulf of Mexico between the combined French
and British vessels of war on the one side, and the Ame-
ricans on the other, was imminent. Although the last-men-
tioned cause was found to rest only on an article in the New
York Herald, received six or seven days previously, the
gloom that hung upon the market continued until the close
of business.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-dav, to bear appeals. The Peers present
were Lord Cottenham, 'Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell.
LEITII V. YOUNG.
The arguments on this part-heard appeal were resumed

of any interest, relating to the construction of a power in a
Scotch deed of entail.
(The case had not concluded when our Evening Edition
went to press.)

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day
to hear appeals. The Lords present were, the Master of the
Rolls, the Vice• Chancellor Knight Bruce, the Judge of the
Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan-
caster.

arguments on wLich were concluded on Wednesday last.
Their Lordships' affirmed the Judgment of the Court below
with costs.

SECON DA RIES'.-CF HIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
ROBERTSON v. HENLEY.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is the
proprietor of the Railway Record, to recover of the defendant,
who is one of the directors of the Direct London and Exeter
Railway Company, the sum of 121. 10s., for newspapers sup-
plied by his order. The defendant pleaded, in abatement,
that five other persons being the Managing Committee of
the Company, were also liable.
Mr. Payne appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Parry for the
defendant. _ .

The case lasted a considerable time, but the facts were
very simple. It appeared that, in September last, the de-
fendant went to the Railway Record office and requested a
paragraph respecting the Company to be inserted, aad at the
same time ordered 500 copies of the paper to be sent to the
solicitor to the Company, and he wrote the order on the back
of his own card.
The question raised was, whether the order had been
given by the defendant individually, or whether there was
anything to lead the plaintiff to suppose he was dealing with
the Company.
The SECONDARY, in summing up, said that if the jury
considered the plaintiff was dealing with the Company, it
was incumbent' on the defendant to set out the names of all
the parties liable, and not a part, which might leave those
parties to plead that others ought to have been sued.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COUR7\.

(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Justice COLT3IAN.)
Their Lordships sat at ten o'clock.
THE BATTERSEA MURDERS.

Eliza Clark, aged 24, was indicted for the wilful murder of
Jane Clark, her own child, by throwing her into the river.
The poor woman, who seemed exceedingly faint, was ac-
commodated with a chair.

Mr. Ryland was for the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson for the
defence.

Mr. RYLAND opened the case in a plain and exceedingly
temperate address, and then called the following witnesses :
Mary Inwood, widow—Knew theprisoner and her husband.
They lived in the same house with her. They had a family
of three children. The eldest was about seven years of age,
the next three years, and the youngest a twelvemonth. The
youngest was named Jane. On Friday, the Ist
of May, she remained with the prisoner till
near midnight, when her husband came home. She
said, " Well, old chap, you are lite to- night." He replied,
"Get out you b—r, or I'll kill you." They then went in,
and the door was shut. She (witness) heard words inside,
but could not distinguish what they were. She heard
him say again, " You want to carney me over. Get out you
b----, I hate you." She saw Mrs. Clarke again at 3ix o'clock
on the succeeding morning. She complained that her hus-
band had tiled to hit her, and had broken the door by the
blow he aimed at her. Some time after, she went out, saying
she was going to give the children a walk. She then ap-
peared to be light in her mind. She was a very sober well-
conducted woman to her children. She said, on going out,
" Oh, is not this enough to make any one go and make
away with themselves, to think that he could say 'good
bye' in the morning, and then come home at night and say
' I hate you.' "
Cross-examined by Mr. CLAnKsox—She (the prisoner) did
not appear to have been in bed at all on the Friday night.
Richard Champ, a tailor, lived at 13, Wellington-street,
Chelsea. He knew the prisoner, her husband, and the three
children. The prisoner came to his house on Saturday the
2d of May, about two or three o'clock. She was accompanied
by her three children,and she remained about a quarter of an
hour. He asked her to return,
He
she said no, as she might
stop where she was going. He asked how Mr. Clark was.
She said she did not know, and did not care, for he had been
beating her head against the door. She then left, and he
found a paper on his bed.
Mrs. Inwood was recalled—She was aware that the pri-
soner was in a state of great distress. She had pawned on
the Friday her only flannel petticoat, in order to get food for
the children ; and on Saturday morning she had sold the
rags out of the bed for a piece of bread for them.
Richard Champ cross-examined—When the prisoner was
in his house the child commenced to cry. He said, " Poor
thing, its a-dry." She shook it, and, when giving it the
breast, said, " There's nothing there for you." She had
latterly become very negligent. The husband was drunken;
and on the day on which this happened he was found drunk.
Mr. Baron ALnensoN—Some.say that drunkenness is no
crime. See what it produces.
Mary Ann Hall was on the bridge, and saw a woman
and three children. She set the baby down on
the pavement and told the little girl to play with
it. She took the little boy up and threw him over the
parapet into the river. Then she took up the little baby and
threw that over. She then threw the little girl over. She
cried out, "Almighty God, Almighty God, save my chil-
dren !" She then ran to the other side of the bridge and
tried to throw herself over. A man coming over with a van
ran up and saved her.
James Perryman, potman at the Adam and Eve public-
house, corroborated the evidence given by the last wit-
ness. Several witnesses were examined, who merely re-
capitulated the statements of those who had gone before.
