THE POLITICAL TRIALS.

NAPLES, Sept. 29.—The disgraceful political
trial which has been for so many months drag-
ging its slow length along, has this week
made considerable advances, and though no act
of illegality, no assumption of power could ever
astonish a Neapolitan, yet every one is thunder-
struck at the imprudence which the Government
has displayed. On Tuesday, Captain Acuti wrs
re-examined. On Wednesday, the Attorney-
General resumed his Requisitorio, and concluded
it on Friday, the 26th inst., with demanding
the punishment of death for four; 25 years in
irons for two ; reclusion for two ; and acquittal for
three.

M. Longo commenced, as ono of the advocates for
the defence, an eloquent speech on the conclusion
of the Requisitorio, in which, as it appeared to me,
that assuming a certain degree of culpability, he
argued that it had existed in thought only—it had
been simply concertato, not carried out—had never
sprung into life—was not a conspiracyaccording to
the terms of the Neapolitan code, and could not
therefore be visited with the punishment assigned
to it by the Attorney-General.

On Saturday, the 27th, there was another court
held, and two of the counsel for the defence spoke.

THE BALTIC.

HAMBURG, Oct. 1. —His Imperial Highness
Prince Napoleon arrived in our city from
Copenhagen on the afternoon of the 29th ultimo,
and took up his quarters at the Victoria
Hotel. The Prince came by way of Kiel, leav-
ing the Reine Hortense steam corvette to proceed
round the Skaw t') Glfickstadt, in the Elbe, to
receive him on board after he has seen all he
desires in Hamburg, where ho will remain a few
days for this purpose in as quiet a manner as pos-
sible. Excepting the French Resident and, the
French Consul at Altona, the Prince has hitherto
received no
public visits, nor does he appear much
inclined to have formal ones paid him.
M. yen Scheele has received from the King of
Sweden the order of a Knight of the Seraphim.
.From Christiania we learn that the Viceroy of
Norway arrived on the evening of the 23d ult., on
beard of the Nornen steam corvette, in that city,
on his return from Copenhagen, and was received
on landing with the most enthusiastic cheers by
the population asaemblci. The Prince is a very
great favourite among the Norwegians, and, by
his kind and modest behaviour, is daily gaining
great confidence and popularity in his office.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
Prince Uhika has named M. Domitch member
for Moldavia of the international commission for
the navigation of the Danube. The Cabinet of
Stutgard has nominated M. Muller, councillor of
the government, to a similar post for Wurtemberg.
A letter from Vienna of the 28th ult., in the
Debats, says :

" It is well known that notes have been exchanged at
different times between the Austrian government and
the four other great powers on the subject of the pro-
longed occupation of Moldavia by the Austrian trocps.
The period at which they will completely evacuate that
province still appears to be distant. Every arrangement
has been made for their continuance there, if not dur-
ing the whole of the summer of 1857, at least until next
spring. The intention of the government on this subject
is evident, from an order lately given by the war depart-
ment to renew contracts for the supply of forage and all
kinds of provisions for the army of occupation during the
next winter. It would be difficult to form any idea of the
important results accruing to Austrian commerce from
this prolonged occupation of the Danubian principalities ;
and there is no doubt that it will be maintained so long
as any plausible motive can be found for so doing.
£here are in those provinces nearly four millions of in-
habitants who are clothed from head to foot with articles
coming from the Austrian manufactories. The Austrian
merchants have also enjoyed the privilege, since the end
of 1853, of introducing by land, and by the numerous
steamers which ply on the Danube, immense quantities
of wino, spirits, and other Austrian produce. No sur-
prise can therefore be felt at Austria wishing to retain
this valuable market as long as possible, and it cannot
be closed to the Austrian manufacturers, or opened to
the competition of foreign productions, until the day
when the Principalities shall have been completely
evacuated by the Austrian troops."
