METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although only a moderate supply of beasts was on °Tr
in to-day's market, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy,
and, in some instances, prices were 2d. per 81bs. lower than
on Monday, the top quotation being ss. 4d. per 8 lbs. The
show of sheep was seasonably good. Prime Downs and
half-breds were steady in ♦alue, but long-woolled sheep
were a shade lower. We have to report a very inactive in -
quiry for lambs, at barely previous rates. Calves moved
off heavily, at a decline us value of from 2d. to 4d. per
81bs. Pigs and mulch cows were dull, but not cheaper.

ROME.

The Roman army, now at the disposition of
General Lamoriciere amounts to 20,000 men. These
troops the French general drills and exercises in-
cessantly. He is now with the centre of the army,
examining the tieldworks and inspecting the nu-
merous corps he had posted en echelon along th•
frontier of Tuscany and Romagna. He recently
had a long interview with a foreign general, sup-
posed to be in the service of Austria ; but of the
object of the conference nothing has transpired.
Lamoriciere scarcely gives breathing time to his
men ; he marches and countermarches them for
the double purpose of exercising the troops and de-
ceiving the Italians as to their exact number. He
orders eal•thworks and batteries to be constructed,
then suddenly demolishes them to throw up others
elsewhere. He thus keeps the officers of the artil-
lery and engineers continually in motion. He sees
all and directs all himself.

NAPLES.
NAPLES, AUG. 11.

The work of constituting the Chambers pro-
gresses, and unless the operations of Garibaldi are
successful, parliament will meet. But those opera-
tions are being pushed forward and are encouraged
under the very nose of the government. The latest
proclamation of the Dictator has arrived, and is as
follows :

"TO THE PEOPLE OF THE NEAPOLITAN CONTINENT.
" Tho opposition of the foreigner, interested in
our abasement, and internal factions, have prevented
Italy from constituting herself a country. Now,
however, it appears that Providence; has put ao end
to so many misfortunes. The exemplary unani-
mity of all the provinces, and victory smiling every•
where on the arms of the sons of liberty, are a proof
that the sufferings of this land of genius are draw-
ing near to their termination.
" Yet another step remains ; and that step I do
not fear. If the slight means which have conducted
a handful of valiant men to these straits are com•
pared with the enormous means at our disposal at
present, every one will see that the enterprise is not
difficult. I would, however, that the shedding of
blood amongst Italians should be avoided, and
therefore I address myself to you, sons of the Neapo-
litan continent. I have proved that you are brave,

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
SENTENCE FOR THE LIBEL AGAINST JOBSON.

Upon the Recorder taking his seat on the bench this
morning, he ordered David Wemyss Jobson, who had bean
convicted of libelling Sir James Fergusson, Bart , M.P.,
and other persons, to be placed at the bar to receive the
sentence of the Court.

Upon being asked by the officer of the court what he had
to say why sentence should not be passed on him, he nod-
ded his head, meaning no, and handed in a written paper,
which was read by the Recorder, who, after perusing it,
addressed the prisoner :—You have handed me a certificate
that you are not in good health. I will take care that in
the sentence I am about to pass upon you the medical officer
of the prison I am about to send you to will exa-
mine you, and nothing shall be done by way of punishment
which you are not able to undergo. You have been con-
victed of three most malicious libels, and also in another
case with not only uttering a libel, but doing so with a
view of extorting money from a gentleman. It is in that
case that I shall visit your offence with a severe punish-
ment. The sentence of the court is, that you be im-
prisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months in
the House of Correction of the county in which the offence
was committed ; and that at the expiration of that sentence
you eater into your own recognisances in the sum of £BO,
and find two sureties in the sum of £4O each, to keep the
peace for one year towards her Majesty's subjects, and
particularly those you have libelled.
The prisoner then bowed to the Recorder, and walked
from the dock without saying a word.

A policeman, named John Squire, No. 447 K, said that
he met the prisoner in Cottage-row, ➢Zile End-road, at
seven o'clock this morning carrying two mew deal
planks across his shoulders. He asked the prisoner where
he obtained them, to which he replied that he
gave 4d. for:one of the planks and Bd. for the other. They
were both of the same size and quality, and worth 6s. or
7s. They were scaffold boards, and of a superior quality.
Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would ask any
questions of the witness, te, which he replied—No. What
questions have I to ask about it ?

John Maxwell, employed on the middle level sewer, near
Victoria-park, said the planks belonged to Mr. Rowe, the
contractor, and were missing front the bottom of the
Victoria -road at half-past 3 o'clock this morning. They
were stolen while he was pumping.

Mr.Yardley—What have you got to say to this, prisoner ?
The Prisoner (sullenly)—Got to say to it ?
Mr. Yardley—Yes ; you are charged with stealing two
planks of wood.
The Prisoner—l have nothing to say about it.
The wife of prisoner here got into the witness-box, and
said that her husband's mind was affected in consequence
of reverses and his having lost a large sum of money.
Mr. Yardley—Why do you allow him to go at large ?
Mrs. Short said that she studied hor family who wished
her husband to be at home. He had nearly destroyed
everything in his dwelling and was hopelessly insane. Her
own life and the lives of her children were in danger. She
had a large family to provide for, and her business, once a
large one, now amounted to nothing at all. For the last
few nights his conduct had been strange, and he talked
about burying his family.

Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner till Monday, and re-
commended the wife to consult the parish officers of
Bethnal-green, and obtain her husband's admission to a
lunatic asylum, if censidered necessary for his safety.

OF MURDER.

James M'lntyre, 34, and Michael Brett, 27, de-
scribed in the calendar as brickmakers, were in-
dicted for having, on the 27th of June last, caused
the death of Richard Richards, a navvie, at Old-
ham.

Dr. Wheeler, Q.C., (with whom was Mr. Fearn-
ley), appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Hig-
gins defended the prisoners.
In this case, it appeared from the evidence of the
several witnesses called, that on the morning of the
day in question the two prisoners were at work in
a brickfield belonging to Mr. Gill, in Oldham
About noon they went to a public-house, the Mare
and Foal, whercwthey had some drink. At this
period there was a strike amongst the brickmakersi,
bat beyond, the fact that such an event had. taken
place, it did not interfere with the case, except that
the deceased was dressed in the same garb as the
brickmakcrs, and hence it might be that he was
mistaken for one of that class. A boy named Ker-
shaw was assisting them in the field, and went
with the two prisoners to the public-house. After
being in the tap-room for a short time, the deceased,
who was passing along the road, was called to the
public house by the prisoner M'lntyre and asked to
have a glass of ale. He said he had no objection,
and a glass of ale was handed to him, and, while he
was in the act of drinking it, the glass was dashed
out of hands by M'lntyre, he was knocked down,

George Rilot, of 3, Nassau-street, said he was clerk to
the prosecutors. The prisoner had been employed by the
firm, and was discharged on Wednesday last. In conse-
quence of a duplicate being found the police were spoken
to, and he was brought to the house. 'I he two rings, nine
seals, and six studs produced are the property of the prose-
cutors, and of the value of about £36. The prisoner had no
right to take them to show to custoluers without entering
them in a book. The articles had still the stock marks on
them.

Gordon, 536 A, apprehended the prisoner at his lodgings
at Bayswater. Told him the charge, and at first he denied

it, but afterwards said he had low wages attdwasten4;ed
to do it, and handed him the duplit:a e of another ring he

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Mr. MELLOR gave notice that, on the motion for ad-
journment pn Friday, he would draw the attention of hon.
members to the refusal of the House of Lords to entertain
a bill relating to savings banks and benefit societies, and also
to the power they exercised of limiting and prescribing the
time for the consideration of bills sent from that house.

THE MILITIA.

Major PARKER asked the Secretary of State for War
if he was prepared to give an assurance that regiments of
'Janie would not, unless the exigencies of the State require
it, be called out for training during those periods of the year
when the services of the men were most needed for agricul •
tural purposes ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said that it was not intended, as far
as it was possible to avoid it, to interfere with the agricul-
tural tural purposes of the militia. The harvest tooknp ;sae
different times in various parts of the country, d
in-
tended to communicate with the lord-lieutenants
respective counties in order to make such
would not be productive of inconvenience to the class in
question.
BROKERS' CONTRACT NOTES.
Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, if the proposed penny stamp on brokers'
notes would apply to all transactions in the public funds,
and would therefore legalise all such transactions ?
Mr. LAING said he supposed the hon. member alluded
to time-bargains, and it was not intended by Government
to apply the penny stamp to that description of contracts.
FORTIFYING PLYMOUTH AND DEVONPORT.
Mr. PALK asked the Secretary of State for War whe-
ther the expenses of fortifying Plymouth were included in
the estimates that had been laid upon the table ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said he had not time to develope
his plans on the subject, but he had taken the necessary
amount in the army estimates to meet the exigencies that
might arise for the proper defence of the country.
HUNGARY.
Mr. R. LONG asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs if any special information on the state of Hungary
had recently been received by the Government ; and, if so,
whether there was any objection to that information being
communicated to the house ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said it would be inconvenient to lay
on the table of the house the communications received by
Government on the subject in question.
UTY ON HOPS.
Mr. DODSON asDked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the resolution reducing the Excise duty upon hops
to 14s. a cwt. would apply to the duty upon the crop of
1859, payable in May and November next ; and, if not, from
what dato it was intended that the corresponding resolution
reducing the Customs duty on foreign hops should take
effect ?

Mr. LAING repeated the answer he had already given
in reply to a question on the same subject.
BANKRUPTCY BILL. _ _ _

Mr. COLLIER asked the Attorney-General when he
intended to introduce the Bankruptcy Bill?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he intended to in-
troduce the bill this cession.
London, England, 1860-02-18

SAVOY.

The same noble lard proceeded further to say—l think it
right to add, for the information of the house, some state-
ments in regard to questions put to me last evening. Her
Majesty's ambassador in France having addressed the Em-
peror upon this subject of the annexation of Savoy, was
answered that the Emperor of France would not proceed to
any final decision upon this matter of Savoy without con-
sulting the great Powers of Europe ; and he stated, more-
over, that ho would never think of any annexation on the
part of Savoy, unless the people of Savoy were desirous of
annexation. (Ironical cheering.) Our ambassador after-
wards was desired by the Emperor of the French to make
this communication to her Majesty's Government, and the
same communication was subsequently repeated by M.
Touvenel, the Minister for Foreign Affairs in France. I
don't know that I can state anything further en this sub-
ject, but it will appear from what I have stated that there
must be more negotiation before a final decision be come to.

treaty
thatty o
f
we want to know from
commerce is to be brought before U.S. The house will recol-
lect that in 1787 the Ministers brought down the treaty by
command as the noble lord did the other day, and gave no-
tice that on a certain day the treaty would be taken into con-
sideration, and would move resolutions which would in fact
embody the provisions of the treaty. The house having
passed the resolutions, there would be an address to the
Crown. The resolutions were then sent to the House of
Lords, which also passed them. A similar address was
presented to the Crown. A gracious answer was received
from the thron., and then the House of Commons pro-
ceeded to pass a bill for the purpose of carrying the treaty
into effect. Ido not see that the Government is
now pursuing a similar course—(hear, hear, and cheers)—
and it seems to me that by not pursuing that course
the 'House of Commons will be deprived of its privileges in a
most important matter. (Hear, hear.) The Minister for
Foreign Affairs has not given notice of his intention of call-
' ing on the house to consider the treaty, or to legislate so as
to tarry the treaty into effect ; but we hear that on Monday
we are to proceed by resolution, in a committee on thecus-

ITIGHWAYS BILL.

Mr. BARROW wanted to know if it was the intention
to proceed with the highways bill that night.
THE CHINESE WAR.
.
• -

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wanted to know what would
be the likely expense of the war in China. It was quite
clear that a vast body of men could not be moved from
India except at a great expense. He also wanted to know
if any portion of the expense of moving that body of men
was to be borne by India, and how the expense of the
transport of the troops to China was to be defrayed.
Sir DE LACY EVANS said a credit had been spoken of
towards the Chinese War of £500,000, but for such a war
that sum was quite a bagatelle. There was no glory to be
gained in a war with China, which he thought had been
owing to an injudicious selection of agents in that empire.
The war he considered to be a very grave affair, especially
considering the great distance they were from China. He
fouled that among other munitions of war siege artillery had
been embarked, and he should like to know for what pur•
pose.
General PEEL said he found the amount of the army
estimates to be £14,800,000, to which £1,000,000 was to be
added for the disembodied militia, and £500,000 for the
war in China. A part of the force to be sent from India
to China consisted of native regiments, and as to the ex-
pense, it appeared to him that £500,000 would not covor
the outlay which had already been incurred. Therefore
there must be considerable additional expenditure on ac-
count of that war. Now he (General Peel) might be per-
mitted to say that he had not exceeded his army estimates
in 1858 by a single shilling. One thing he could not under-
stand, and that was how the men of the native army had
been paid. If they had not been paid by the Indian
Government they must be paid in one shape or another.
He further wanted to know whether the men who remained
in India were to remain at the expense of the Indian
Government.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING—(THIS DAY).
The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in
this company was held this day at the London
Tavern. Mr. Packe, deputy-chairman of the board
of directors, filled the chair.

The usual routine business having been transacted
and the report taken as read,

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,
stated that the reason he occupied the position he
did at that moment was solely caused by the illness
of their chairman, Mr. Denison. It was a source
of regret, he felt, to all, that he was not present ;
but as he (Mr, Packe) had to discharge the duty of
chairman of that meeting, he would acquit himself
of the task as briefly as possible. The capital ac-
count showed that, up to Dec. 13, 1859, the total
expenditure amounted to £11,489,748 6s. 7d. In
the revenue account, it would be seen that
the balance available for dividend, in the
original and A and B stocks, was £168,273
1 ls. lid., being an increase over the corres-
ponding half-year of 1858 of £21,237 Os. 3d.
which would leave a balance of £387155. Bd. to
be carried forward to the next half-year. The ex-
penditure account showed that the maintenance of
the permanent way and works was £5,153 in excess
of the corresponding period of last year, but this sum
included £5,000, the balance of the "fishing" account
carried forward from last half-year. The total
working expenses of the half-year amounted to
49'53 percent. of the gross receipts, but by excluding
the items of compensation and bad debts, which were
exceptionally high, the per tentage would be re-
duced to 47.1. The Metropolitan Railway Company
had commenced the construction of their line from
Paddington to Farringdon-street, and arrange-
ments were in progress for the formation
of junctions with the Great Northern Railway
at King's-cross. The Chairman having alluded
to the bills in Parliament affecting the Great
Northern Railway, concluded by moving the adop-
tion of the report.
A long discussion then ensued on the increase of
the working expenses of the line.

Mr. GOODEVE said the item of working ex-
penses had increased £73,000 in three years.
The adoption of the report having been moved,
it was carried unanimously.

The CHAIRMAN then moved the following reso-
lution, which was agreed to :
"That a dividend, at the rate of £6 per cent. per annum
upon the perpetual preference stock of the company; of £6
per cent. per annum upon the 5 per cent. preference stock
of the company ; of £4 10s. per cent. per annum upon the
4} per cent. preference stock of the company; of £5 per
cent. per annum upon the 5 per cent. preference stock of
the company ; of £7 per cent. per annum on the original
undivided stock of the company; of £3 per cent. for the
half-year on the B ' stock of the company ; and of 44 per
cent, for the half-year on the A' stock be declared."

Three vacancies having occurred amongst
the directors by the deaths of Messrs. Arbouin,
Chaplin, and Pym, it was agreed that the number
of directors be reduced to thirteen. The retiring
directors having been re-elected, and thanks re-
turned to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

SWITZERLAND.

The Journal de Geneve publishes an account of a
meeting held in that city by the Savoyards residing
in the Canton. The following declaration was
unanimously adopted :
" The undersigned inhabitants, &c., anxious
about reports in circulation, according to which
Savoy would cease to form part of the States of
his Sardinian Majesty, are desirous of publicly
stating their devotion to the King and their wish
to see no change made in their union with the Sar-
dinian Monarchy.
" But, on the other hand, and in case political
reasons, of which they do not wish to make them.
selves judges, should render a separation inevitable,
they are convinced that their Sovereign will not
dispose 'of his faithful subjects without allowing
them to express their wishes under circumstances
so important for their future welfare.

" Consequently, and despite the sympathies which
a great and glorious empire may arouse, they ex-
press their sincere wish to be united to the Swiss
Confederation, with which they have been so long
connected by common interests and sentiments, as
well as by those friendly relations of which they
have received so many proofs."

WIIITTFORTIPS RIFLED CANNON:

The experiments with Mr. Whitworth's rifled
cannon were continued on Thursday on the South-
po t st.
The practice with the 3-pounder at
longr rangecoa gave results still more astonishing than
those recorded in yesterday's paper. Six shots were
fired at an elevation of 35 degrees ; the results were
iv follows :
Angle of Eleva- Range in Deviation from the Lino
tion. Yards. of Fire.
35 deg. .. 9,463 .. 68 to the right.

f f „ 9,547 .. 57 ”
.• 9,611 . 89
f . . 9,645 .. 31
9,688 34 „
When it is remembered that this gun weighs
only 2081 b., and that not only a range of above 5-1
miles was attained,—greater than has been recorded
of any gun ever made,—but that good practice was
made at that enormous distance, the epithet
"astounding" as applied to the results is fully
justified. The notice of the practice with the larger
guns is deferred to another occasion.

GUN ROATs.—Tne gun vessels ordered by the
late Government from various contractors are progressing
rapidly. Messrs. Miller and Son, of Liverpool, launched
two of them—the Pelican and the Steady—several days ago,
and Mr. Charles Lungley, of Deptford Green Dockyard,
got his—the Mullet—into the water in a very forward state
on Monday last. The latter vessel was removed at once to
the Royal Victoria Dockyard, where she will he equipped
for sea. The dimensions of these vessels are--

battalion of Grenadier Guards, now in garrison duty at
Windsor, received, pursuant to: his sentence, fifty lashes
in the barrack-square, and in the presence of the battalion.
He was also sentenced to 165 days' imprisonment. The
man, bears an exceedingly bad character in the regiment,
having repeatedly robbed his comrades. He has also been
guilty of divers other offences against military discipline,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of proprietors
was held at the station, Euston•square, the Mar-
ouis of Chandos in the chair. The report, which
'rigs already appeared in The Sun, was taken as
read. It showed that the increase from passengers,
parcels, mails, &c., was £76,745 ; and from mine-
rals and merchandise, £l2o,3o3—making a gross
increase of £197,048 ; while the increase of the
working expenses was only £42,265. The amount
available for a dividend was £613,938 7s. 7d., out
of which the directors recommended a dividend at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The adoption
of the report having been moved and seconded, Mr.
Puncher expressed his dissatisfaction at the pro-
posed dividend, and moved a 'resolution condemna-
tory of any further expenditure of capital. The
resolution, however, was negatived, and the original
motion was agreed to. The retiring directors were
re-elected, and W. N. Hodgson and Col. M'Lean
were also elected directors.
