to say which task appears the more difficult—to
procure the reform or to preserve the peace of Italy.
Difficult or not, the labour lies before us, and must
be performed. The whole public feeling of this
country is with Sardinia in her honourable attempt
to ameliorate the condition of the Italians ; and
the despotic States would do well to consider this
before they attempt in any way to coerce our Ally,
for they may rely upon it we would not sit by and
see our gallant friend worsted in a cause with
which our own efforts have always been identified.
What an absurdity it would be to make such vast
and successful exertions to benefit Christians in
Turkey, and yet leave millions in Italy suffering
under misgovernment worse than that of Turkish
pachas or Russian generals.
We shall support reform in Italy with the force
of our public opinion ; and how England can back
heropinions, if forced to do so, has been lately shown.
We shall use every pacific means in our power, and
we trust not unsuccessfully, to promote a happy
change, and to obtain for the Italians a new and
liberal mode of government, such as may satisfy
their wants, and assure the welfare of the Penin-
sula and the tranquillity of Europe.

The following letter is dated Malta, April 30 :
" Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Ariel arrived from
Gibraltar on the 24th for the purpose of having her pur-
ser and paymaster, Mr. Bennet, tried by court-martial
on a charge of defrauding his messmates and making false
entries, to the prejudice and damage of the Government,
in his private accounts. The trial took place on Mouday
last, when he was dismissed her Majesty's service and
condemned to two years' imprisonment, one-half of the
term with hard labour. The Ariel left on her return to
Gibraltar on the 30th inst.

" Her Majesty's steam-frigate Furious, which left Malta
on the 20th, towing the Tribune steam-frigate, conveying
Earl Dalhousie and family to England, returned on the
27th, having left her charge well on her voyage to
Gibraltar, with a fair wind and fine weather.
"The Jason steam transport arrived on the 28th from
Southampton in ballast, and left on the same day for
the Crimea.

"The golden Fleece steam transport arrived from the
same port on the 28th, and left for Constantinople on the
same day.
"The Calcutta steam transport, with stores for Malta
and Constantinople, arrived from Southampton on the
27th, bringing the widow and two children of Col. Bur-
mester, Royal Engineers, who dropped down dead two
days after leaving England from a disease of the heart
while on deck, apparently in good health, conversing
with his wife. The deceased had lately been appointed
to Corfu.

In another column will be found the-appeal pre-
sented, by Count Cavour and his colleague in the
Conferences, of Paris to the Cabinets of the Tuileries
and St. James's, after the Congress had refused to
take into consideration the state of Italy. This ap-
peal, or representation, or protest—call it what you
will—is probably the most eloquent document of
its kind recorded in history. Measured in its lan-
guage, as became the representatives of the monarch
who has disarmed revolution by governing in a con-
stitutional manner, carefully avoiding every ex-
pression that might excite the susceptibilities of
the despotic Governments, still the Sardinian re-
monstrance presents such a picture of lawless en-
croachment on the independence of other states,
and of mad provocation to revolution by brutal
oppression on the part of Austria, as the most
glowing words of poet or of orator might have
failed to produce. . _

"The Bacchante steam transport arrived from Lon-
don and Gibraltar on the 29th with stores.

"The Chersonese steam transport, from Liverpool, ar-
rived on the 30th.

" The English brig Violetta arrived from Genoa on
the 24th.

" The Alps steam transport left for Constantinople on
the 24th, followed on the 25th by the Arthur Gordon
steam transport.
" The Adelaide steam transport left for the Crimea
on the 25th.

"The Linda and the Ercole arrived from Tripoli on
the 28th.

on the 28th.

" The Norman steam transport arrived on the 29th
from Ismid.

Let us recall to the memories of our readers—a.
subject passed over in silence by the Sardinian Pleni-
potentiaries—what had taken place in Italy between
1830 and 1848. The combustion kindled by secret
associations had been quenched in blood. A brief in•
terval of despair and inaction succeeded. Continued
misrule, however, speedily resuscitated plots and
conspiracies. But a wiser spirit was at the same
time awakened among some distinguished Liberals.
A party was formed, and became rapidly powerful,
which aimed at gradual, practical reforms, not at
revolution. In 1847 members of this party were to be
found in every state of the Peninsula, and had
gained. influence even with some of the Governments.
Its strongholds were the Legations and Piedmont.
The events which took place at Paris in 1848 ex-
cited a sympathetic emotion throughout Italy ;
but had the Italian Governments acted with ave-
rage prudence, firmness, arid sincerity, this con-
stitutional party would have been able to have
maintained its ascendancy. Falsehood and vacil-
lation, however, on the part of the rulers precipi-
tated the Peninsula into the revolutionary gulf,
from which Piedmont alone ultimately emerged.
Since that time despotism has, except in the Sar-
dinian States, continued to display, if possible,
more of its inherent brutality and folly than for-
merly. Under a wise and liberal government
Piedmont has become daily more tranquil and pros-
perous. Throughout the rest of Italy all has been
anarchy. Oppression has provoked conspiracy ;
a foreign mercenary soldiery has been called in
to prop up the tottering thrones of secular
and ecclesiastical tyrants by its bayonets ; and
in the struggle between ruthless Governments
and maddened subjects all the bonds of legiti-
mate society have been relaxed. The brigands
are the real masters of Central and Southern Italy.
For years the constitutionalists of Central Italy
clung to their faith in moderate and legal means of
obtaining redress, but of late continued misery has
made them waver ; and the peremptory refusal of
the Congress even to listen to the story of their
wrongs is likely to drive them to have recourse to
the "wild justice of revenge." _

kls,va and Constantinople on the 29th with returned

This it is-which has extorted from the Sardinian
Government the earnest and anxious appeal to
which we have invited attention. Sardinia is
tranquil ; its Government is paternal, its people
are free, loyal, and obedient to the laws. But the
Piedmoutese are Italians as well as subjects of the
King of Sardinia. They are allied by blood and
marriage with the inhabitants of Lombardy, the
Legations, and the Duchies. They speak the
same language ; they cherish the same historical
memories. They have among them many who
have soughs refuge in constitutional Sardinia
from the intolerable wrongs to which they
were subjected in the neighbouring states.
Men goaded beyond endurance are liable to
rush to the conclusion that " he who is sot with
them is against them." The Sardinian Govern-
ment, by maintaining a neutral attitude between
the oppressors and the peoples of Italy, incurs the
risk of losing the confidence of its subjects, and
awakening the flames of revolution within its own
frontiers. At the same time it is menaced by Aus-
tria, the accomplice and abettor of every tyranny.
The Austrian Government has at no time concealed
the dissatisfaction with which it views the constitu-
tional policy of Sardinia. It has repeatedly sought
out pretexts for fixing a quarrel upon that state.
At present, not satisfied with fanning the revolu-
tionary flame throughout Italy by acting as the
hangman of her despots, Austria is augmenting her
forces in the territories bordering on Piedmont,
and occupying strong positions all along the
southern and eastern frontiers. The meaning of
these preparations may be read but too clearly by
the light of past history. Austria is making ready
to avail herself of any disturbances in Piedmont
as a pretext for taking military occupation of the
country and subverting its constitutional govern-
ment. Sardinia is in imminent danger of being
crushed by the collision between despotism and
anarchy. This prospect has wrung from the Sar-
dinian Government that remonstrance which we
cannot otherwise designate than as a cry of agony
extorted by the prospect of impending destruction.
The remonstrance demonstrates that the peace of
all Europe, no less than that of Italy, is placed in
extreme peril by the encroachments of Austria and
her complicity with the emasculated despotisms of
the Peninsula. We know that the sympathies of
the best liberal statesmen of England are with
the Italians ; and we trust that the dangers
which menace the repose of Europe, will rouse
them to act upon these sympathies. We trust that
the French Government will discern the neces-
sity of co-operating heart and hand with England
and Sardinia. The apparent coldness of the
French Government with regard to Italy has given
fresh courage to Austria. The culpable language
of Cunt Wale wski with reference to the Belgian
press—of the folly of which it is rumoured his Go-
vernment has become fully aware—has induced
Austria to attack the press of Piedmont. We
have confidence in the justice and courage of the
Piedmontese Courts of Law ; and, as Austria has
been obliged to resort to legal proceedings, we have
no fears for the free press of the Sardinian domi-
nions. But if Austria bo worsted in the "wager
of law" to which she has had recourse, we dread
the consequences of her vindictive anger for Sar-
dinia. We do, therefore, most earnestly desire
that the English Government may give free course
to its generous sympathies, and that the French
Government may repair the mischief it has done by
coquetting with the despots of the East. Of one
thing we are certain : that if Sardinia and Italy
are permitted to fall unaided, the effects upon the
public mind of France and England will be terrific.

LAW' INTELLIGENCE.—May 10.

COVET OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

;Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Lord
Campbell and a Common Jury.)

HILL V. COWLEY-RACING AND BETTING TRANSACTIONS.

The plaintiff and the defendant in this case are sport-
ing men, and the action was brought by the former to
recover a sum of 301., which he alleged he had paid for
the latter in discharge of a bet on a race.

for the officer to see the young woman in that state, sup-
ported her into the house where she was detained until
the following morning, when she contrived to make her
way home, but had been ever since suffering from the
effects of the injuries. The young woman's mother de-
posed to her own alarm and anxiety at her daughter's
absence the whole night, and that directly her daughter
got home in the morning, which she did in a state of
great excitement and exhaustion, she dropped in the
passage and fainted. On explaining the treatment to
which she had been subjected, the witness examined her
daughter's person, and found she had sustained the most
scandalous treatment, her face, head, shoulders, arms,
and other parts of the body being severely contused and
excoriated, and in fact she had been unable to leave the
house for several days in consequence.
Mr. Wakeling addressed the magistrate on behalf of
his client, and called two witnesses to prove that the
whole of the injuries the young woman had sustained
were entirely attributable to her own imprudence, but
this was entirely denied by the complainant herself, con-
firmed in great measure by the constable, and the defence
was so inconsistent with the facts clearly established that
Mr. Ham will at once sent the ease before a jury, and
ordered the defendant to put in bail to be answerable
for his future appearance.

SOUTHWARK.—Saturday being appointed for the
re-examination of Ir. H. Aubert, a gentleman residing
at No. 32, York terrace, Regent's Park, who was
charged on Friday, the 2d inst., with indecently assault-
ing Sarah Wainwright and Elizabeth Wainwright, chil-
dren of the respective ages of 6 and 3 years, daughters of
a poor widow, living at No. 53, Surrey-row, Blackfriars-
road, and representing himself as a medical matt con-
nected with the British Orphan Asylum, the court was
excessively crowded by persons anxious to bear the pro-
ceedings, as a person, answering to his description, has
for some time been in the habit of committing similar
offences in various parts of London. There were several
charges against him, owing to the publicity given of last
week's proceedings in the newspapers.
Mr. J. Payne, instructed by Mr. Pearce, the solicitor
to the Society for the Rescue of Young Women and
Children, of 11, Poultry, appeared for the prosecution ;
Mr. Allen, front the Associate Institution for improving
and enforcing the laws for the protection of women,
was also present to watch the proeeedings ; and Mr.
Solomon appeared for the prisoner.
It may be recollected that a short time ago an adver-
tisement was inserted in the Times, by Mr. Daniel
Cooper, the secretary of the first-named society, with a
view of obtaining an asylum for Mrs. Wainwright's chil-
dren, and a situation for herself, as nurse in a private
family. O❑ Wednesday morning the 30th ult. the pri-
soner called at her house, and told her he had seen the
advertisement, and that he wished to place the two chil-
dren in an Orphan Asylum. The children were shown
to him, when he said that ho was a medical officer con-
nected with the British Orphan Asylum, and that he
must carefully examine them as to their state of health
and bodily condition before he could recommend them.
Mrs. Wainwright, believing that he was a surgeon as he
represented himself to be, reluctantly complied with his
reque-t, when he then treated the poor children in a
most disgusting manner, having previously stripped them
naked. He then left the poor woman, promising to call
in a day or two with orders for the children's admission
into the British Orphan Asylum, at Clapham. After be
was gone the mother had her doubts about him on ac-
count of tie, brutal manner in which he had treated the
children, and having communicated the circumstance to
a neighbour she suspected him of being an impostor.
Actor tingly, when be called again, on Friday morning,
the 2d instant, Bryan, a journeyman plasterer, was
concealed in a cupboard, and soon as the vagabond
requested permission to repeat his disgusting conduct
by saying that he was a surgeon of the British Or-
phan Asylum, Bryan rushed out of his conceal-
insnt and seized him. The wretch trembled at being
discovered and offered any money to be allowed to
escape, but Sergeant Macarthy, 11 M, cane in and
took him into custody. These facts were not denied,
and Mr. Combo remanded him for a week, considering
that such a case ought to be dealt with by a jury at the
sessions. At the solicitation of Mr. Solomon, of the
Borough-road, Mr. Combo consented to accept bail for
his appearance, and Mr. Wm. Hobson, of No. 43, Har-
ley-street, and Mr. John Irving Glennie, proctor, of 15,
Devonshire-street, and 19, Bennett's-hill, Doctors'-com-
mons, were accepted asbis sureties in the sum of 2501.
eaeh. The prisoner also entered into his bond of 5001.,
and was allowed to depart with the understanding that
he would be forthcoming yesterday. An hour having
elapsed beyond the usual time, Mr. Combo ordered the
prisoner to be oalled on his recognisances ; and shortly
afterwards Mr. Solomon entered the court, and informed
his worship that he had just seen a friend of his client,
who had informed him that Mr. Aubert left home sud-
denly last Teesday, and had not been seen since. He
supposed that under those circumstances the bail must
be entreated.

The defendant pleaded—first, payment ; secondly, not
indebted ; and lastly, set up the statute of Victoria,
under which an action cannot be sustained for the re-
covery of money won upon a wager.
Mr. Huddlestone stated the case, from which it ap-
peared that the plaintiff, Mr. G. Hill, resides in Man-
chester street, Manchester-square, and was formerly an
hotel-keeper, but is at present of no business or occupa-
tion. The defendant, Mr. J. Cowley, carries on the
business of a paper manufacturer at Fairford, in Glou-
cestershire, and the bets for which the action was
brought were made on certain horses in the Oaks, in
1854. The learned gentleman then called
The plaintiff, who deposed that the defendant was in
the habit of attending races, and betting on horses, of
which he at one time owned a stud. He (plaintiff) felt
an interest in racing affair's, made bets on races, and
had on many occasions made bets for defendant, to
whom he paid over the money when the horse he backed
won, and when he lost he paid the money out of his own
pocket to the winner, and subsequently received it from
the defendant. In May, 1854, the defendant authorised
him to back Lady Constance for 25/., and, acting in the
transaction for the defendant, he took a bet of 5001. to
251. from a gentleman named Blos, and he subsequently
told defendant what he had done for him, and defendant
expre-sed himself perfectly satisfied. While the race was
being run the defendant asked him to back two other
horses for him, Glenstrae and Spinaway, for 51., and he
took 101. to 51. on Spinaway from a person named Vin-
cent. These bets were lost, and he paid the money out
of his own pocket, in accordance with his custom, at
Tattersall's on the "settling day." From those bets he
had not himself received any benefit, whatever ; but he
undeft ,ok to make them for defendant out of pure
friendship.
In cross examination plaintiff said he was in no occu-
pation at wesent, but he had a small income. Ten
year- ago he was an hotel-keeper, and was in the habit
of betting for pleasure as well as for gain. He tried to
win, of course ; but he never lived entirely by betting,
He had kept a betting-house in 1852 ; lost money by it,
which he paid, and he then shut the concern up. He
did not keep one in 1854. He did not mention it to Bloc
for whom he made the bet, not thinking it necessary to
do so ; and he was the only person who was responsible
to Bloc for the wager. Lady Constance never started.
She was not "scratched" when the bet was made. The
defendant told him to back her "on the quiet," as he
did:not himself wish to be known in the transaction,
from the circuinstance of his having a horse in training
in the same stable with her. He would swear he had
never seen the defendant before the 4th of June, nor
since then, until the present time. He never met him
in Holy well-street, Strand. Had not a conversation
with him there, nor did the defendant take out his pocket-
book there and pay him the 301. It was not true that
he had seen the defendant since at the Egham races.
He did not come there, as be (plaintiff) would have
turned him out of the ring if he did not pay the money.
Mr. Bloc was than called, and he proved having made
a bet of 5001. to 251. against Lady Constance with the
plaintiff, and having been paid by him on the following
Tuesday at Tattersall's. The defendant's name was
never mentioned in the transaction.

Mr. Hawkins addeessed the jury for the defence, and
said it would be for them to judge between the conflict-
ing testimony, as the defendant would swear he had
already paid the 301. ; and, apart from that, the action
could not, he contended, be sustained inasmuch as the
claim arose out of a gambling bet between the parties,
and was not for money paid for on account of the defen-
dant. Ho then called

The Defendant, who deposed that be had never made
the bet on Lady Constance with the plaintiff, and
that he had never authorised him to make it for
him with any other person ; neither bad the plain-
tiff told, him that he had made the bet with Blos,
nor that he had pail the money to that individual.
He remembered baying backed "Spinaway" for 5/.,
and that the plaintiff accented the bet; but he had
never heard from plaintiff that a Mr. Vincent was con-
nected with the bet until plaintiff came into the box.
He came to London a few days after the race, and met
the plaintiff in Holywell-street ; and he then said to him
" I will pay you the 301." He accordingly took out his
pocket-book and gave -him that amount in bank-notes.
Ho did not take a receipt. They both talked about the
horses on the occasion, and he had seen plaintiff once
or twice since then. He saw him last at Egbam Races,

Mr. Payne said he had the honour to attend for an As-
sociation fir the Protection of Females to prosecute this
brutal fellow, who, he was sorry to say, was connected
with a wealthy and highly-respectable family, and he
considered that, before the gentlemen became bail for
him, they ought to have beon fully satisfied that he would
surrender. In his opinion he believed they knew be
would not, and did not care about 5001. or 1,000/. as
long as they could liberate the man. Since the publica-
tion of this case there were others brought to light, and
he had now five more charges against him for his mis-
conduct towards young women by representing himself
as a surgeon connected with an orphan asylum.
Mr. Charles Woolooton, a gentleman connected with
the British Orphan Asylum, informed his worship that
the prisoner had nothing whatever to do with them,
neither wag he known to them in any way.
Mr. Combs said that there could be no doubt of his
imposture, and chat he had been guilty of brutal conduct
towards the children, but he had not surrendered.
Mr. Solomon intimated that the bail were ready to pay
the money they had forfeited as the prisoner had de-
camped. He supposed there was an end of the case.
Mr. Payne said the case should not end there, as he
should indict the nrisoner at the sessions, and on a true
bill being found apply for a judge's warrant to apprehend
him. Such a scoundrel, although he was rich, and con-
nected with a high family, could not be allowed to escape.
Perhaps his worship would grant a warrant, as he had
not surrendered to his bail.

Mr. Combo observed that Mr. Payne had better take
the course he had alluded to, by applying to 4he judge at
sessions. At present he should not grant a warrant.
What he should do would be to direct the recognisances
to be estreated, and issue distress warrants upon the
geJils and chattels of the prisoner and his sureties which
would be placed in the hands of the officers of the court
immediately.
Mr. Solomon said there would be no need of that, as
the money would he paid.
Mr. Payne was sorry that bail had been taken at all,
as the other charges ware of a very serious description.
However, the society would lose no time in looking after
him, as they were determined to prosecute to the utmost
limit of the law.

in 1855, and met him in "the Ring." hill, on that
occasion, did not say anytning about the 301.
Cross-examined.—He backed Lady Constance because
she was a good mare ; but he had not kept a betting-
book for four or five years. He had kept race-horses in
his time. He had only made a bet once with Hill pre-
vious to this traosaction ; that was on a mare in a pre-
vious year, and he won. That bet was paid by Hill. He
believed that bet was made by Hill with some other per-
son on his (defendant's) behalf. He would positively swear
that those were the only occasions on whin Hill made
bets for him„ He (defendant) received the bank-notes
in the way of his trade, but he would not swear whether
they were " tens" or " fives." When he returned to
Fairford he received a letter from the plaintiff's attorney,
requesting him to pay 301.; but he did not take notice
of it because he did not owe the money.
Mr. Huddlestone having replied on the evidence,
Lord Campbell summed up.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
amount claimed-301.

The following is a description of the delinquent :-25
years of age, about 5 feet 7 inches high, swarthy com-
plexion, dark hair, serious countenance (rather severe),
projecting under lip. He generally dresses in black.
He says he has a farm in Essex of 215 acres, let to a Mr.
Walters fur ten years, and money in the Three per Cent.

passengers, besides the mails and a large cargo.
We bear from good authority (says the Malta Times)
that Malta is to have a garrison of nine regiments,
and that intimation of the regiments chosen for this ser-
vice has already been received here.

The Madrid journals of the 4th contain no politi-
cal news. Several persons had been arrested on sus-
picion of having taken part in the assault on the ma-

spinning manufactory, the machinery of which is
to be worked by steam, is in course of construc-
tion at Tarragona. The French residents of

opened a subscription for presenting him with a
sword of honour.

By leer Majesty's Ro3'al Letters Patent for valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per-
spective Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed
through them—of great importance to the army, navy,
and others. These telescopes possess such extraordinary
powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eyes
piece, ss ill show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ins. from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the

a person can be seen and known 1. miles distant; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,

They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,

ARRIVAL OP ZOIIAVE TRIMPETERS.—A band of
Zouave trumpeters have just arrived in London, en
route to Liverpool, where they are to perform in a series
