ITALY.

TURIN, Aug. s.—lt was mentioned yesterday
that the Municipal Council of Ravenna had fol-
lowed the example of that of Bologna, in adopting
an address to the Pope, praying for relief from
foreign intervention. It seems now it has gone
further—it has " bettered the instruction ;" for, in
a subsequent sitting, it voted another address to
his Holiness, begging for the electoral law for the
municipalities, which he himself decreed, but
which has never been acted up to, should be put
in force. A letter from the Legations, received
this morning, says :

"Legal acts of opposition in the Legations multiply,
and the resistance acquires every day more grout.d.
The Municipal Council of Ravenna has, besides petition-
ing the Pope against the occupation of the country by
foreign troops, nmde a formal demand that the
municipal law of 1850 should not remain a
deal letter. A reasonable memorial, in which
it is asked that the right of election shouldbe con-
ceded as the only means of making known the
true wants and the just demands of the people, was pre-
sented to the Council, signed by eight of the most dis-
tinguished members ; an an absolute majority of the
Council then recorded their adherence to the principle
by adding their signatures to the said document. The
memorial was subsequently transmitted to the Munici-
pal Magistracy, in order that the Government authori-
ties might participate in it.
"It must be added that the same Municipality of
Ravenna had positively refused to execute the work
laid down for it by the Pontifical Commissioner, Mon-
signor Amici, in his recent economic provisions, against
which au energetic protest was signed by the proprietors
and merchants of Ravenna.

" The Government authorities are very naturally
much concerned at the great significance of the'se maui-
feitations."

SCANDINAVIA.
(From the Times' Correspondent. )
STOCKHOLM, JULY, 185 G.
Since the events of 1848 a gradual but deep
change has been coming over the Scandinavian
kingdoms ; a slow and sure movement tends to
their social, moral, and political union, and a
peaceable agitation to that effect, known by the
name of "Scandinavism," pervades all classes.
The people of the three kingdoms feel that they
aro united by the bonds of a common origin, reli-
gion, and language ; for, however different the
dialects spoken in the sister kingdoms, a Swede has
no difficulty in comprehending a Dane or a Nor-
wegian ; the literature of our country is read by
the other two ; their habits and their wants, their
amusements and their aspirations, are the same.
Divided by the hostile politics of their different
Governments, they have ever clung to each other
in spirit, and now more than ever they feel that it
is only by a more intimate union that they can
withstand the common foe.
The first active symptom of the deep-rooted sym-
pathies of the three branches of the Scandina-
vian family was the repeated visits of the students
from the respective Universities of Sweden, Den-
mark; and Nozway. These Peg= in On, bairn

THE LEANDER COAT AN.D BADGE.

This very interesting annual event was contested yester-
day with the advantage of very fine weather, which, with
the anticipation of first-rate sport, produced a very large
assemblage of spectators. The encouragement given by
this club for years past to aquatic sports is well known,
and never was their liberality more appreciated than when
they expressed their intention of giving on each succeed-
ing season a stimulus to young watermen, not out of their
time, in the shape of a coat, badge, and freedom of the
Watermen's Company. Formerly this race used to be
rowed from Putney to Hammersmith in heats; but on the
present occasion, in order fully to test the lasting qualities
of the men, the distance from Westminster to Putney was
substituted, and with advantage, for the race was of a
most pleasing character, and many hundreds, who would
otherwise have been debarred, had an opportunity of wit-
nessing it. _

The veteran coxswain, Jem Parish, saw that they were
all right at their stations, and, at a little before six o'clock,
they all effected a capital start; but directly afterwards
Bell took the lead, followed by P. Parker, the others being
all in a cluster. Everard then went out as a good third,
and challenged P. Parker to a most powerful contest,
which continued without intermission from the beginning
to the end of the race. So fierce was the trial of skill and
strength between them, that Everard again and again
went up to his quarter, when the other had just power
enough to pull away. Bell kept his own to the distance-
post, winning by a hundred and fifty yards. The young
aspirants for aquatic fame were received with loud cheers.

BALDWIN'S GARDENS.

Mr. SEELEY brought forward a motion to the effect—
" That in case theHolborn district board of works shall
be enabled to mature and present to this board a feasible
plan for widening Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's-inn-lane,
this board will be prepared to grant a contribution of
1,000/. in aid of such improvements." .
A long discussion ensued upon this subject, in the
course of which Mr. Leslie and other gentlethen de
murred to the proceeding as a parish job.
Mr. WALLis moved an amendment to the effect "That
it be referred to the committee of works."
Mr. BIDGOOD seconded the motion, which was put
and carried.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR moved a second amendment, to the
effect—" That it is desirable to widen the thoroughfare
connecting Gray's-inn and Leather-lane, by Baldwin's
gardens, and that if carried out to the satisfaction of the
board they will be prepared to contribute a sum not ex-
ceeding 1,0001."
Mr. NICHOLAY seconded this amendment.
Mr. WRIGHT objected to the voting of this 1,0001. of
the ratepayers' money upon a mere pathetical matter.
On the question being put, the amendment was car-
tied by a majority of 15 to 6.

We have only limited quantities of grain, &c., to hand

steamer, Of the American new crop of wheat, which has
been sold—white, at 10s Gd, and red, at lOs 3d per 701 b.
The trade has been without change since last market day,
except a stronger demand for Idian corn. Tho decline
at our Tuesday's market has attracted several millers and
dealers this way seeking bargains, and where holders would
submit to that day's prices a fair business was practicable.
Tn some instances, however, a reaction of 2d to 3d per
bushel on wheat was obtained. Indian corn in good de-
mand for milling and feeding purposes, and prices a trifle
better. All other articles moderately dealt in at the low
figures of last market day.

GREECE.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette,
says :—" The visit of King Otho of Greece to
Vienna, Carlsbad, and Toeplitz, has not been un-
attended with political results. Our Cabinet has
employed its influence with the Western Powers
relative to the occupation of Greece by British and
French troops, and we now learn that the evacua-
tion of the kingd)rn is determined on. The ques-
tion of the succession to the throne has likewise
been discussed ; and our Cabinet has endeavoured
to obtain the consent of England, France, and Rus-
sia to endow Prince Adalbert with the right exercised
by his brother Leopold, namely, to renounce his
pretensions to the throne in favour of his descend-
ants. This point of view will probably be shared
by the protecting Powers, and the difficulty raised
IT the refusal of Prince Adalbert to enter the
Greek Church will be removed."

AUSTRIA.

The Gazette of Vienna publishes the revenue
account of the Austrian empire during the first
six months of the present year. The direct
taxes produced 15,613,171 florins, or 4,920,769
florins more than in the corresponding pe-
riod of last year ; the indirect taxes pro-
duced 71,697,597 florins, or an increase of
5,637,994 florins ; domains, mines, and the
mint, 2,133,974 florins, being a diminution
of 4,336,570 florins ; divers receipts 4,906,993
florins, or a decrease of 232,522 florins. The total
receipts are 129,593,423 florins, or 5,790,518 florins
more than in 1855, and 11,046,083 florins more
than in 1854. The direct taxes and the monopoly
of tobacco and salt have furnished the most im-
portant increase of income. The diminution in the
receipts of domains, mines, &c., has been caused
by the fact of the Government having made over
its richest possessions to the national bank, in
order to reduce its debt with that establishment.

MANSLAUGHTER AT PRESTON.

Richard Dugdale, an old man 65 years of age, was
charged with the manslaughter of his wife, Mary Dug-
dale, at Preston.
Mr. A. Cross prosecuted, and the prisoner was de-
fended by Mr. John Cross.
The evidence showed that prisoner and his wife, up to
the time in question, had lived upon the most amicable
and peaceable terms, and there appeared to be no failing,
•,ccept that when one got something to drink the other
must drink too. On the 22d May they had been off drink-
ing together, and had been at home for some time, when,
about half-past six o'clock, a lad named R. Burscon,
hearing quarrelling, went to the window of the prisoner's
house, and saw him take up a pair of tongs by the mouth
end and hit 'di wife on her head with the knob. She fell
to the floor immediately on being struck. The boy who
nitnessed it wont home and told his grandmother, and
shortly afterwards some neighbours came in, lifted her up,
and carried her to bed ; but she never spoke, and died the
folloiving, morning. Mr. Bernard Halden,,surgeen, as-
sisted by Mr. John Rigby, afterwards made a post mortem
examination, and the app9rances then found were such
as would be likely to be made with a blow with tongs,
there being a livid ring, with the centre untouched.
The appearances could not have been produced by a fall
down stairs, as the fail must have been directly perpen.
dicolar to cause them, they being eactly on the crown
of the head.
Tin: judge summed up in the most careful and impar•
tial manner, and the jury, after a careful consideration,
returned a verdict of guilty.
His Lordship, in passing sentence, said be bad been
oonvicted of the manslaughter of his wife by striking her
on the head with a pair of tongs. When he looked at
the depositions it appeared to amount to murder. He
had consulted his brother judge as to whether he could
save him from the extreme punishment for manslaughter,
but found it was impossible to do so, for he hail struck a
woman with an almost deadly weapon, and the sentence
was that he be transported for the term of his natural
life.

employed its influence with the Western Powers
relative to the occupation of UreeCO Dy DEILIBII and
French troops, and we now learn that the evacua-
tion of the kingdom is determined on. The ques-
tion of the succession to the throne has likewise
been discussed ; and our Cabinet has endeavoured
to obtain the consent of England, France, and Rus-
sia to endow Prince Adalbert with the right exercised
by his brother Leopold, namely, to renounce his
pretensions to the throne in favour of his descend-
ants. This point of view will probably be shared
by the protecting Powers, and the difficulty raised
by the refusal of Prince Adalbert to enter the
*reek Church will be removed."

AUSTRIA.

The Gazette of Vienna publishes the revenue
account of the Austrian empire during the first
six months of the present year. The direct
taxes produced 15,613,171 florins, or 4,920,769
florins more than in the corresponding pe-
riod of last year ; the indirect taxes pro-
duced 71,697,597 florins, or an increase of
5,637,994 florins ; domains, mines, and the
mint, 2,133,974 florins, being a diminution
of 4,336,570 florins • divers receipts 4,906,993
florins, or a decrease of 232,522 florins. The total
receipts are 129,593,423 florins, 0r5,790,518 florins
more than in 1855, and 11,046,083 florins more
than in 1854. The direct taxes and the monopoly
of tobacco and salt have furnished the most im-
portant increase of income. The diminution in the
receipts of domains, mines, (tc., has been caused
by the fact of the Government having made over
its richest possessions to the national bank, in
order to reduce its debt with,that establishment.

GUATEMALA BONDS.

Yesterday, a meeting of the Guatemala bondholders
was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of con-
firming an agreement which had been made between their
commissioner and the government of Guatemala for a
conversion of that debt. Mr. J. D. POWLES, chairman of
the Spanish American thodholders'Committee, occupied
the chair. The agreement was read ; it provided for a con-
version of the existinedebt forloo,ooo/.of new bonds,carry-
irg interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable
in London half-yearly, namely, theist Februaryand Ist of
August. The bonds were to; be secured on a portion of
the maritime revenues and custom dues of Guatemala.
The chairman announced that the agent of the con4ract-
icg state hail arrived in London for affecting the con-
version, and that the first dividend would he payable on
the 15th Oct., and the second on the IA Feb. hest.
The agreement having been confirmed, a resolution
was proposed empowering the Spanish American Bond-
holders' Committee who bad negotiated the conversion,
to deduct 5 per cent. fro:n the new bonds, by way of
remunerating them for their labours, and re-inabursing
them for the expenses to which they had been put. A
desultory and somewhat personal discussion arose on this
question, and eventually an amendment giving them only
3 per cent., was carried by 6 votes against 4. A resolu-
tion was next proposed to the effect that a commission of
Gd. in the pound on the dividends should be allowed to
the agent in Guatemala, who would be appointed to
attend to forwarding the remittances. This was carried
by a majority of Bto 1. In the course of the proceed-
ings the chairman and several of the committee an-
nounced that, after the suicidal amendment which bad
been carried, and atter the language which bad been
made use of, they would not interfere any further in the
affairs of Guatemala.

BRISTOL SUGAR—AuGusT 8.

Our market has been quiet, and both manufacturers and
grocers show an indisposition to operate, unless at reduced
values. Prices are not quotably lower, but at the same
time they are not so strong. Refined goods are in mode-
rate demand, at about late rates. There is a steady, but
not a large, demand for rums, at fair prices.

THAMES.

MARINE THIEVES.—DARING ROBBERY ON BOARD
SHlP.—Williana Burgess, a lad about 16 years of age, and
George Wilson, an old man, were charged with stealing a
large quantity of rope, part of the tackle of the ship
Cicely.

Captain William Armstrong said he was the master of
the Cicely, and he had put every confidence in the old man,
and appointed him shipkeeper, with directions not to leave
the vessel at all, but to have his meals on board, while
the ship was under repair on Gun Dock ways, in High-
street, Wapping. On Friday he returned to his ship, and
found the shipkeeper lowering a large sack containing rope
out of the ship's forecastle to a boy who was on the beach
under the vessel. The boy received the bag and went
off with it. He pursued the lad, and overtook
him with the rope in his possession. It consisted
of tacklo belonging to the rigging, and was all serviceable
rope. Last time his ship was in the same ways in Gun
Dock he lost 201. worth of property, and he took precau-
tions this time to put a ship-keeper on board, with direc-
tions to be vigilant, and had lost as much more.

Thomas Sarch, a police constable, No. 300 ,K, said the
prisoners admitted their guilt to him, and said it was a
bad job and could not be undone.
The prisoners were committed for trial.

ROBBING A TlLL.—George Neale, a youth about 19
years of age, was charged with stealing a box out of a till
in the shop of Mrs. Harriet Conn, a grocer in High-street,
Poplar. Mrs. Conn said she had left her shop for a short
time, and was in her kitchen, when she heard a noise in
the shop, and upon hastening there saw the prisoner on
his hands and knees behind tho counter, with a small box
containing 13s. or 14s. which he had taken out of the till.
He immediately threw it down. He then ran away, and
she pursued him and caught him in a narrow court. He
gave some lads behind him something, and was about to
hit her when assistance arrived, and he was given into
custody.

The prisoner denied that he stole the box of silver, and
declared he.went into the shop to buy some grocery.
He was recognised as having been convicted of felony
some time ago, and was sentenced to three months' hard
labour.

MANSLAUGHTER AT PRESTON.

Richard Dagdale, an old matt 65 years of age, was
charged with the manslaughter of his wife, Mary Dug-
dale, at Preston.
Mr. A. Cross prosecuted, and the prisoner was de-
fended by Mr. John Cross.
The evidence showed that prisoner and his wife, up to
the time in question, had lived upon the most amicable
and peaceable terms, and there appeared to be no failing,
e•ccept that when one got something to drink the other
must drink t3o. On the 22d May they had been off drink-
ing together, and had been at home for some time, when,
;.bout half-past six o'clock, a lad named R. Burscon,
hearing quarrelling, went to the window of the prisoner's
house, and saw him take up a uair of tongs by the mouth
en l and hit hi •1 wife on her heal' with the knob. She fell
to the floor immediately on being struck. The boy who
v.itnessed it went home and told his grandmother, and
shortly afterwards some neighbours came in, lifted her up,
;and carried her to bed ; but she never spoke, and died the
following morning. Mr. Bernard Holden, surgeon, as-
sisted by Mr. John Rigby, afterwards made a postmortem
examination, and the appearances then found were such
as would be likely to be made with a blow with tongs,
there being a livid ring, with the centre untoncaed.
The appearances could not have been produced by a fall
down stairs, as the fail must have been directly perpen-
dicalar to cause them, they being eactly on the crown
of the head.
The judge summed up in the most careful and impar-
tial manner, and the jury, after a careful consideration,
returned a verdict of guilty.
His Lordship, in passing sentence, said he' had been
omavicted of the manslaughter of his wife by striking her
on the head with a pair of tongs. When he looked at
the depositions it appeared to amount to murder. He
had consulted his brother judge as to whether he could
nave him from the extreme punishment for manslaughter,
but. found it was impossible to do so, for he had struck a
woman with an almost deadly weapon, and the sentence
was that he be transported for the term of his natural
life.

The court adjourned at half-past oix o'clock.

NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.-LANCASTER, AUG. 8,

The commission for holding the assizes at Lancaster
was opened on Wednesday last by Mr. Justice Willes,
who had arrived from Carlisle at an early hour that
morning. The High Sheriff, R. Needham Phillips, Esq.,
of Manchester, accompanied by his chaplain, the Rev.
Thomas Corser, rector of Stand. in the parish of Prest
wich, arrived about two o'clock in the afternoon, and
was met at the Castle station by his retinue, who came
by the morning train. At four o'clock his lordship
attended Divine service at the parish church, when
prayers were read by the Rev. C. Pedder, one of the
curates, and a sermon was preached by the sheriff's chap-
lain. Two Roman Catholicclergyruen were present. Baron
Bramwell arrived in the course of the evening, when the
mayor and corporation attended to pay their respects to
their lordships. The calendar was uncommonly light,
there being only eight prisoners for trial, 'iz., two rape,
two manslaughter, two larceny, one forgery, and one
felony.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRISTOL, Ava. 8.

The commission was opened yesterday before Mr.
Baron Martin, who arrived in the city at about three
o'clock, and was escorted with the usual formalities to
the Guildhall. The trials commenced this morning at
10 o'clock. The cause list is the lightest within the
memory of "the oldest lawyer." It comprises only 5
common jury and 1 special jury cause ; indeed the busi-
ness of the entire Western Circuit has been, as the fol-
lowing figures will show, unprecedentedly low. The
number of cases entered have been 44. Of these 6 were
undefended and 4 withdrawn, leaving only 34 defended
suits.

VICTOR HUGO AT GUERNSEY.

We work. All the world knows what he (Victor Hugo)
is doing. All the household works. The quantity of art
which this home, the offspring of politics, produces is inr
credible. Charles has the gift to do all that he desires.
Photography, this is nothing ; that is, it is admirable ; it is
a machine which defies Rembrandt ; it is science pro-
ducing art—but the artist goes for little in it. It is then
the sun that produces the figure—but Charles produces
the frames. He paints around our portraits exquisite
frames of showers of blossoms, branches, birds, mosaics,
&c. He has inexhaustible invention, wondrous delicacy,
and colour, to disturb the reputation of the old missals.
But painting is the holiday of the mind. What repeoe
in the work of the hand? ! When Charles has rested
himself by painting, he turns to his writing again. Ro-
mances, stories that are a medley of verse and prose ; it
is a heavy fatigue, but lighter to him than to others. He
was born in literature. As a child he played with
rhymes. He and style were brought up together. Wizen
he grew up, well-turned phrases looked tenderly at him.
Victor is translating Shakspere. Will it not be goad,
Shakspere filially translated by a son of Hugo I A
singularity of this translation is, that it is a translation
from Shakspere others translate the translation of
Letourneur. 4. Their biography is another transla-
tion from the poets. Madame Victor Hugo is writing
her husband's life. Nobody could have written as ale
will write it. For she can say that she has not left l ier
husband. She has known all his actions, all his though ts,
all his words. She is writing a book that is true in two
senses, in information and in sincerity—and that will. be
the natural complement of Victor Hugo's work. For the
best explanation of a man's labour is his life. * * We Irs,ve
sweet evenings. When we have worked well, Mille.
Victor Hugo rewards us by playing upon the piano
some melody she has just found. It is charming music
—original, born alone, far from the Opera, far from the
Conservatoire—evolved spontaneously from nature and
the heart, the flower of the rock, the light of a star. * *
I have an original library ! Do you know what I have
read this year ? For romances, Les Misiirables—for
poetry, Dieu, la Fin de Satan, Lea Petites Epopies—
for the drama, Homo, le Thfatre en Libert6, Les
Drames de l'lnvisible—for lyrics, Les Contemplations,
and Lea Chansons des Rues et des Bois—for philosophy,
a book which 25 years of thought have not sufficed to
complete, and which will be called Essai d'Explication.
I have, for library, the manuscripts of Victor Hugo.—
" Profiles and arimaces," by Auguste Vacquerie.
