A letter from Bologna, in the Croce di Savoia of
Turin, states that on the 7th the police of Bologna
found the following bill stuck up in various parts of
the town, and particularly upon the doors of several
churches :
"A SACRED INviverroN.--The Bth of Au.ust recals
two memorable days to our memory. Citizens of
Bologna! Tile present halt not fund you degenerated,
but the future awaits you. Hasten, then, to the churches,
and renew your thanksgivings for the victories of 1848,
while a noble tear shall drop for the victim of Truth,
the martyr of 1849. Citizens of Bologna, by this double
ibute to God, seek consolation for your misfortures,
wait and strengthen your faith!"
The Croce di Savoia of the 24th inst. quotes the
following from Naples
.6 The letters of Mr. Gladstone and the polemics they
have excited in Europe have affected and annoyed the
Government. I can assure you positively that a Coun-
cil of Ministers was held on the subject, some of whom
were of opinion to publish a refutation, in which the
scandalous proceedings denounced by the English writer
should he palliated. After some discussion, however, is
was unanimmsly decided that the Government could not
without weakness mitigate its conduct, and should per-
severe. It was, moreover, resolved not to publish an offi-
cial re+utation, because, observed one of the Ministers,
the Government would gain nothing by it—aed he told
the truth."

MIDDLESEX SESSION:...
(THIS DAY.)
Mr. John Bowater, of Barnet, innkeeper, was indicted
for a nuisance.

The prosecution, promoted by one of the defendant's
neighbours, was founded on the circumstance that a
certain angle or recess, in the front range of the defen-
dant's premises, close upon the footway of the High-
street, and near the premises of the prosecutor, was r, n-
dered a serious annoyance to the neighbourhood generally,
by the passers-by.
On the part of Mr. Bowater, who was defended by
Mr. Kingdom, it was contended that the defendant was
nut culpable ; ho bad not built the recess complained of
fur the purpose to which some persons against his will
converted it, and he had no means of preventing the
❑uisance.

Mier much discussion between Mr. Parry, fur the
prosecutor. and Mr. Kingdom, it was finally arranged
chat Mr. Bowater shuuld place two or three boards
across the corner at such distances and to such a height
as would exclude people from the place. On this un
derstanding the jury was discharged, the bail enlarged,
and the case ordered to be mentioned again on the 24th
instant.

The trial of William Weale, a Romish clergyman in
minor orders, for alleged cruelty in the chastisement of
a child of six years old, his pupil in the Islington Ro-
man Catholic School (under the direction of the Rev.
Mr. Oakley), was postponed to the adjourned sessions,
in consequence of the inability of the child to attend
through illness, of which a satisfactory medical certifi-
cate was produced.
Charles lielsion, of No. 4, Vare-street, was indicted
fir unlawfully selling, uttering, and publishing certain
obscene libels and pictures. The prosecution was by the
Society for the Suppression of Vice, who were repre-
sented by Mr. Clarkson.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and prayed piteously and
with tears for mercy, in consideration of this being a
first offence, and of his having a wife and young children.
Mr. CLARKSON said, that to satisfy the Court how far
the prisoner's appeal to mercy deserved consideration,
he would put into his Lordship's hands some specimens
of the prints, which were scarcely fit to be submitted
to the eyes of the jury, much less exposed to the view of
the public. No less than 900 of this particular kind were
found amongst the other subjects of the indictment.
The JUDGE could not pay any attention to the defen-
dant's apt,eal, but sentenced him to be imprisoned twelve
months iu the House of Correction. He regretted that
the law did not allow him to add the punishment of hard
labour. The prisoner left the bar crying like a child.
