NAPLES, AUGUST 2.—The official journal states that
the military commission appointed to examine the indivi-
duals accused of participation in the conspiracy of Nola in
May last, has made a report ; in pursuance of which
three prisoners are to be tried for conspiracy against the
State, nineteen for being more or less accomplices in the
same, and twenty-one for having knowledge of seditious
designs without giving information of them.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 10th inst. states that
the Courtmartial held at Genoa, has tried several other
prisoners engaged in the late conspiracies, and sentenced
Jacco Sebastien, a quartermaster-sergeant in the grenadiers
of the Guards, and Joseph Ayurini, a corporal-major in
the Royal Artillery, to death ; Joseph Kiaffas, a sub
lieu-
tenant of Artillery, to twenty years imprisonment, and to
he degraded ; Baytiste Cafferen3, a merchant's clerk of
Genoa, to be imprisoned for two years. 7acco and Ayu-

hurst's Hotel, in New-street, on Wednesday last, when a
dividend after the rate of 10/. per cent. per annum was

Report of the Directors stated, that after providing for
payment of the dividend and allowing for all losses, there
remained a balance of 5,213/. 4s. 6d. which was carried
over to the following year. The Report was received by
the meeting with very general satisfaction, anti ordered to
be printed for the use of the members.—Birmingham
Gazette.
CHARLES X., it is said, has addressed a letter
to the Sovereigns assembled at Toplitz, expressing his
surprise at not having been called to the Conference about
to be held i❑ that town. He declares that the differences
which have occurred between him and his subjects have
not made him lose his right of being a member of the
Holy Alliance, in conjunction with the Sovereigns, his
former allies. The abdication which he signed with
son, in favour of the Duke of BoanEaux, not having
been accepted by France, ought to be considered null and
void. He consequently claims the full execution of the
guarantees stipulated by the treaty of 1815.—French
Paper.
THE MASTER MANUFACTURERS AND
THE TRADES' our last paper we stated that
the master manufacturers in this district bad determined,
before taking any decisive steps in resistance of the Trades'
Unions to memorialize the Government on the subject of
the spread of these Unions, and their interference with
trade, and beg for their counsel and advice. Since that
time the memorial has been prepared, and sets forth the
existence of combinations, called Trades' Unions, including
many thousand workmen, bound by secret laws and re-
gulations, taking (as is confidently believed) secret oaths,
and subscribing weekly for the accomplishment of their
objects. It states that the Committee of the Union have
extensive powers vested in them by their constituents, and
that they take upon them to dictate to individual masters
the rate of wages to be given, as well as to interfere with
the masters in the management of their business and the
control of their servants, in the most vexatious and ha-
rassing manner. It further alleges that many workmen
are induced to join the Union from a fear of the con-
sequences of refusal, that the Committee order strikes
of the men at their pleasure, and that the turn-outs annoy,
and often personally attack and injure, men who are will-
ing to work. The memorial alleges that these interferences
between masters and men are not guided by enlightened
views, but are often as ignorant and capricious as they are
arbitrary; and that they have had the effect of inducing
some manufacturers altogether to withdraw from trade,
and others to contract their operations. The memorial
then declares that this state of things is calculated greatly
to impede trade, to damp enterprize, and to injure all
parties. The masters mention the objections and difficul.
ties there are in the way of a combination among them to
turn off all the workmen connected with the Trades' Union,
and, in conclusion, they demand the protection of Govern-
ment for the free exercise of industry and employment of
capital, and request the counsel of Illinisters as to the
course they ought to pursue. We hear that all the prin-
cipal manufacturers in the woollen line, in the towns and
neighbourhood of Leeds, Huddersfield, and Halifax, have
signed the memorial, and tl.at it will be despatched to
Londo❑ without delay.—Leeds Mercury.
The King's Ministers had a magnificent ban-
quet on Saturday at Lovegrove's, the West India Dock
Tavern, Blackwell. The dinner consisted of turtle and
venison, in addition to the fine display of a course of fish
and the delicious white bait, followed by every other
delicacy of the season. Lord Melbourne was in the Chair.
On his right band sat the Duke of Richmond, Earl
Grey, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
the Marquis of Clanricarde, and the Marquis of Queens.
berry; Lord Ripon, Lord Auckland, Lord Albemarle, Lori
Althorp, Mr. Secretary Stanley, Sir James Graham, Lord
Palmerston, Lord John Russell, Right Hon. C. P.
Thomson, and Lord Duncannon, occupied the upper parts
of the table. There were likewise present the Attorney
and Solicitor-General, Mr. Ellice, Colonel Fox, Mr. Mac-
aulay, Colonel Alaberly, Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. Littleton,
Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Stewart Mackenzie, Mr. C. Wood,
Admiral Dundas, Captain Berkeley, the Hun. George
Ponsonhy, and Mr. Kennedy. This very select assem-
blage dined in the large room of the tavern, which is one
of the best proportioned apartments in the metropolis or
the neighbourhood. The dinner was served at six o'clock,
and the company broke up about ten ; so that it may be
fairly designated the " feest of reason."
The Earl of LAUDERDALE, who, from the
delicate state of his health, has been unable to take an
active share in the debates in the House of Lords during
the present Session, has not been an inefficient agent in
promoting the Conservative cause, by the procuration of
proxies, which are in the " keeping" of his new friend
the Duke of WELLINGTON.

On the night of the sth inst. about nine
o'clock, a field barn, on the premises of Mr. W. DEWING,
of North Creake, was discovered to be on fire. Before

any person could get to the spot, many of the farming
implements were consumed, as were also the out-buildings,
bullock sheds, &c., and a large quantity of straw. It
originated in a haystack which contained the produce of
forty acres, which was chiefly consumed. The property
was insured.

lieved to be about 13,000.
SOUTH WALES ROYAL EISTEDDVOD.--
The Bardic Festival which is to be held at Cardiff, Gla-
morganshire, in the autumn of next year, will be under
the special patronage of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess
of KENT and Princess VICTORIA, who, it is fondly anti-
cipated, will honour the Marquis and Marchioness of BUTS
with a visit at their mansion, which is situated within
the walls of Cardiff Castle. Of this we are assured,

About half-past 4 o'clock on Sunday morning;
the body of a young female, apparently about 20 years of
age, was picked up floating on the Thames between West-
tninster and Vauxhall bridges. The body appeared to
have been some days in the water, and was taken to
the ship public-house at Millbank. There were no marks
of violence on the body. On examination it was discovered
that the unfortunate young woman was enciente. In the

course of the day she was owned. It appears that she had
been a servant in a respectable family in Doctors' Commons.
