NAPLES.

A Paris letter of the 2d, in the Augsburg Gazette,
says :—" Baron Brenier, Minister of France at
Naples, yesterday informed the French fxovern-
meut by a telegraphic despatch. that the King of
Naples had at last resolved ow making some modi-
fications in the policy of severity which he has
hitherto followed. On the 28th ult. it is stated
that K►ng Ferdinand signed several pardons of
persons condemned for political offences, and Baron
Brenier expresses the firm assurance that in a short
time still more important proofs will yet be given
that the internal policy of the King has become
milder. ' Thus, the difference between the govern-
ment of the Two Sicilies and the Western Powers
has taken a favourable turn, and this result must be
ascribed principally to the intervention of the Aus-
trian Cabinet. It is known that the reply of King
Ferdinand to the notes of the Cabinets of London and
Paris was a refusal, and that the King himself insert-
ed in it some passages which might have personally
offended the Emperor Napoleon, The Cabinet of
Vienna considered that this wash great fault on
the part of the Neapolitan Government, and one
which might have grave consequences. Accord-
ingly;
Count Buol hastened to recommend to the
Austrian Minister at Naples to do all that was
possible to induce the Neapolitan Cabinet to repair
the harm done before the Emperor Napoleon should
adopt some energetic measure. The good advice
of the Cabinet of Vienna has this time bee:► at-
tended with full success, and by the acts of grace
to which we refer the relations of Naples with the
Western Powers have entered into a new line.
There is reason to hope that all the difference will
be removed if Austria continues her mediation."

PROSPECTS OF THE 12th OF AUGUST.

We regret to say the prospects of the sportsman do
not improve as the famous twelfth approaches. A gen-
tleman wbo has been over one of the finest grouse moors
in the north thus reports, under date of Thursday last
I was over our moors for six days with four dogs.
The first three days I did not see a young bird, and very
few old ones. On the fourth day I saw too broods, one
with four, and the other with two young birds. On the
fifth day I saw two broods, one with two young, and the
other with only one young bird. On the sixth day I
went to our high ground, and worked the dogs six hours,
without seeing a single young bird all the time, and only
met with seven old ones. That you may see the difference,
I may mention that upon Sept. 1, of last year, I killed,
after 5 p.m., 14 brace of grouse upon the ground where
I have just been unable to see a young bird this season."
We regret to say that the above melancholy account is
not altogether a solitary one. On some shootings, which
in the early part of the season was covered with nests,
with old and young birds, there is now hardly a young
bird to be seen. It is to the unseasonable weather in
the early part of the season that the dearth of young
birds is to be attributed, many hens being found dead on.
the nest. All moors are of course"not alike. Generally,
however, it will be found that broods are this year both
small and rare ; and the sportsman will indeed be
before
shot who makes anything like an ordinary et
nightfall to-morrow week.-_-13(WfAir6 hung,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
We had a very poor show of boasts in to-day's market,
and the greater portion of the supply was the refuse of
Monday. There was a slight improvement in the demand
for most breeds, at fall quotations. The show of sheep
was seasonably good, and the mutton trade was in a slug.
gish state, at Monday's currency. The best lambs were
very scarce, and in active request, at 4tl per 81ba more
money. Inferior breeds were a slow inquiry at late rates.
'We had an active sale for the best calves, at 2d per 81bs
advance. Otherwise, the veal trade was heavy. In pigs
scarcely any transactions took place. Mulch cows moved
off slowly, at from 141 to 191 each, including their small
calf.

MARLBOROUGH•STREE P.

SHOCKING PROFLIGACY AT THE WEST END.—PAIN-
FE% CASE.—Mary Obern and Emily Dorrington, two
fashionably-dressed girls, were charged before Mr. Bing-
ham, under the following circumstances.
Police-constable 85 C deposed that shortly before
12 o'clock last n:ght, while on duty in the Haymarket,
he saw the prisoners stop several g-ntlemen. He cau-
tioned them, and finding that they would still per.
gist in annoying the foot passeng-,rs he spoke to them a
second time, when Obern said, " What have you to do
with it, the street is as free to me as it is to you?" Wit-
ness then took her into cu4tody. The other prisoner
foll)wed, and when a sergeant came up she was also re-
moved to the station•house.

Mr. Bingham (to the prison ers)—What have you to
sarto the charge ?

Obern--We never stopped any gentleman, and what
the officer has stated is all false.
Mr. Bingham—How old are you ?
Obern‘--Sixteen
,years, sir.

Mr. Bingham—And ho..v long have you carried on
this kind of life ?
Obern—About nine months.

Mr. Bingham—l really do not recollect, during the
whole of my experience, that I ever met with such a sail
case. You have he-n in this police court before, and I
am afraid you are past all redemption ; for your brazen
manner convinces me that you spoke to the officer in a
toue of defiance. You say the street is as free to you as
to others—so it is, but not for an unlawful purpose. The
foot passengers must not be annoyed, and the police
must also be protected in their duties. Take my advice
and abandon such a vrretched and wicked life of profli-
gacy, for, rest assured, if y do not, that is less than
three years you will die on a dung bill. You (Obern)
must pay a fine of 10s. or be imprisoned for ten days.
The other prisoner is discharged.
'

ROBBERY IN OXFORD STREET.—Mary Dixon, a pros-
titute, was charge] with robbing James Hatcher, aged
55 years, of a crown piece.
It appeared trona the evidence that the prosecutor,
who is a wait-r, bad been to a dinner at the Skinners'
Hall, City, avid this morning while on the way home in
a state of half obliviousness, he met the prisoner near
the Marble Arch, Edgware-road. After some conversa-
tion the prosecutor lett her aul found that he bad been
robbed of a crown piece, which had been taken out ofhis
trousers pocket. The prisoner went away, but was
stopped by police-constable 221 D, Who found the money
and a t-ilVer comb down the area of a gentleman's house.

Mr. Bingham a,kf-d the priAomr what she had to say
to the charge, when she said, "The prosecutor gave me
the to go home with me."
The police constable said the prosecutor was not sober.
Prosecutor—l had only had a few glasses of wine.
Mr. Biagbain—l am afraid your evidence is too slight

Accounts have just been received here that

Russia has made some concessions with respect to
the occupation of the Island of Serpents, and that
the order to the English Admiral to proceed with
his fleet into the Black Sea has bean counter-

Another despatch, dated Paris, Thursday, says
the British squadron has positively received orders
to enter the Black Sea. The Governments of
France and England are waiting important des-

An inquiry has been instituted by the Sardi-

such revolutionary movements really spring.

FRENCH POST OFFICE ROBBiiRY.

The Court of Ass'aes on Wednesday tried a young
man named Lafont for stealing a great number of let.
t4rs, teeny of them containing money and securities,
from the Post•oflice, In February last complaints were
made et the Poste.ffice that several letters which bed
been posted on the 24th and 29th January had never
reached their destination, and a day or two several of
them, some sealed, others torn open, together with some
bills of exchange and law papers, which had bee°
picked up in the Seine by a boatman, were taken t°
the P st.effice. The attempts made to di, elver the
person who had abstracted the letters failed. In Aril
it was ascertained that another robbery of about 80 let'
terse, several of them containing money or securities, bed
been perpetrated, but the thief could not be discovered.;
One of the letters was addres.eti to a M. Boulard,
contained a Treasury bid for 2,000 f. This person Wel"
on the 12th May to the Treasury to request that the
bill should not be paid, anti whilst there, singular tore"
late, a ciimmiksionnaire cams in wi h it. The commie
viennaire stated that he bad been sent to present it f?'
payment by a young man who was waiting for him lt
the Rue des B .urdonnaie. This young man was at oae'
arrested, and on beieg seized he exclaimed, " I 1411
caught ?" He turned out to be Lafont, who was eel
ployed at the Post-office to oolleet the bundles of sot
letter- and to fasten them up in bags. He after a vibly
made a full confession, from which it appeared thst
had committed even morenuenerous and more ieeporil
robberies than bad been supposed. Thus, on the
January he stole a letter containing two draft. for 1,:o,
dollars each, addressed•to aM. Claurs. On the 3d t'sl
he stole a letter bearing the Birmingham post
addressed to a priest named Redee, of the neiehboure,:(o
of Arras, containing 22 bills of exchange and
halves of bank-notes. On the sth of the same in°,l)6f
he took a letter, containing nine bills of exehs"p
addressed to a tradesman at Troyes. On the Btb,
stole seeen letters containing 33 bills of excluilt
en the 9th, a letter containing five bills; on
24th, thirty-three letters containing bills, notes, orep
eiteei (in one of them from Mexico was 1,000 f.. sneof
another, addressed to the lady superior of the HO 00
Refuge at Biois, was 300 f. in notes), and on the op!
day 113 letters, in which there were no securities, bipi
the 29th, he obstructed eiglit letters, in which werephl
or notes, and 90 in which there were none. On the lel
Mb, 12th, and 13th April he stole about 80 letteretei
ail that he found in them was two Roman bonds; 1,01
on the 30th of the same month, he stole 40 letteretoe

that addressed to Boulard above mentioned.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.
" The Emperor," says the Journal de la
llieurthe, " will arrive on Friday evening at Lune-
vine. On the following morning his Majesty will
review the troops of that garrison and then leave
for Paris, passing through Nancy without stop
ping."

A council of ministers assembled yesterday at
the residence of the Minister of Justice.
A Paris letter, in the Courrier du Havre, in
speaking of the title just bestowed on Marshal
Pelissier, says :—" The new duke will nob,
said, have any other qualification than that of
Duke Pelissier,' and will consequently sign him-
self Marshal Duke Pelissier.' This mode has,
besides, its precedents, as, without going farther
back, it is well known that Louis XVIII. and
Louis Philippe created dukes per se, as for instance
Duke Pasquier and Duke Decazes."
A communicated note in theMessager de Bayonne
of the sth states that the intercourse by telegraph
with the interior of Spain is completely re-estab-
lished, and that despatches can now be sent on the
same conditions as existed previously to the late
interruption.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived in
regular course, but their principal contents were
anticipated by the letter of that date which reached
us yesterday by express. Marshal Espartero, be-
fore leaving for Logrono, had demanded au
audience of the Queen, to take leave of her Majesty.
The terms on which Saragossa had surrendered
were not known, but the Epocet says that General
Dulce had given passports for France to all who
asked for them. The troops which took part in
the insurrection of Saragossa were to be sent into
the Basque provinces and Navarre, in order to
be re-organised. General Dulce; being in
health, did not intend to retain the command of
Saragossa long, but it was not known who would be
his successor. The Epoca says that all the persons
arrested on the three preceding days had been set
at liberty, except M. Merelo and M. Guicuira,
who had been ordered for trial before a court-
martial. Manuscript proclamations declaring that
it was not true that Saragossa bad surrendered,
and that 40,000 men still held out in the city, had
been distributed ; two of the distributors were
arrested. Deputations of the Cortes, the grandees,
the army, and all the great bodies of the state.
were, says the Epoca, to he invited to the mar-
riage of Dona Amalia and Prince Adalbert of Ba-
varia. The Gazette of the 3d, which has arrived
by express, contains royal fief roes appointing Gen.•
Macrohor. Inspector-General of the Civic Guards,
and General de Gregoria his successor as Under
Secretary of the War Department. It pub-
lishes a despatch from Granada, which says that the
disarming of the national guard was going on
quietly, and that the greater part of the force gave
up their arms with pleasure : and another from
Malaga, which says that the disarming bad been
accomplished, and that tranquillity was perfectly
re-established.

The Journal des Pyrenees.. Orientales says :
" The greater number of Spanish refugees, sub-
officers, and soldiers lately taken to Perpignan,
have requested and obtained from the Spanish Go-
vernment permission to return to their homes.
They consequently before leaving Perpignan made
their submission and took the oath of fidelity to
Queen Isabella 11.. before the Spanish Consul.

The Trieste Gazette contains a letter from Athens
of the 26th ult., which says :—" All that has been
said about a memoir addressed by our Government
to the protecting powers on the subject of the suc-
cession to the Crown of Greece, and of a journey
which our Minister of Foreign Affairs is to make to
the different Courts of Europe, is entirely un-
founded. They are nothing more than inventions
of our opposition, which foreign journals too rea-
dily credit."

A letter from Vienna, 3d, in the Deutschland,
says :—" We learn from good authority, that
General Count Giulay, who is now here, has been
ordered to proceed to Monza, to announce to Field'
Marshal Count Radetsky that the Emperor in-
tends to visit the Lombardo•Venetian kingdom
with the Empress in the course of next month."

I have just been unable to see a young bird this season."
We regret to say that the above melancholy account is
not altogether a solitary one. On some shootings, which
iii the early part of the season was covered with nests,
with old and young birds, there is now hardly a young
bird to be Ken. It is to the unseasonable weather in
the early part of the season that the dearth of young
birds is to be at,ributed, many hens being fOund dead on
the nest. Ad moors are of curse nut aike. Generally,
however, it will be found that broods are this sear both
small and rare ; and the sportsman will indeed be a good
shot who wakes anything like an ordinary bag before
nightfall to-morrow weeks-Ban,e44irc Journal.
