FRANCE.

Private accounts from Naples state that a con-
spiracy had been discovered among a portion of the
Neapolitan army ; and, on the same authority, it is
affirmed that the plot has been traced to tke agency
of Piedmontese emissaries. It also appears that a
note is to be transmitted, if it has not been so
already ,to the Powers, complaining of these attempts
to excite disaffection. In the same manner a
clue has been discovered to excite the mutiny of
the Swiss regiments some time since in the service
of Naples.

The Pope has addressed the following letter to
the Bishop of Orleans, dated the 14th Tanuary :
" Venerable Brother, health and apostolic bene-
diction.—ln this great trouble of Italy, which has
violently overthrown sovereigns, and ruined
throughout the /Emilia and the Romagna the legi-
timate authority of the Holy See, that which the
contrivers and promoters of the rebellion desire—
their last thought, in fact—has been fully disclosed
by that work, full of deception, which has been pub-
lished in France, and has been circulated not only
in the cities, but also in all the hamlets of Italy.
As for you, venerable brother, you at once perceived
the detestable object of that production, and you ap-
plied yourself immediately, resolutely and courage-
ously, to its refutation. Your energy, your firmness
of soul, are admired even by the enemies of our
temporal sovereignty. The good celebrate it every-
where in the effusion of their soul, and, venerable
brother, for this new and signal service which you
have rendered to the Apostolic See and to our sove-
reignty, we address to you, fraternally, our most
sincere thanks. We thank you, then, for this new
production, which you have sent to us, and which
we have read with extreme satisfaction.
" As to the other work which you are preparing
in defence of this same sovereignty of the Holy See,
we not only approve it, venerable brother, but we
are now certain that it will be very useful in esta-

THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Opposition to
Scheme.—At a MEETING of the Occupiers of and
other parties interested in the riverside wharfs and premises
between Blackfrlars-bridge and Queenhithe, convened by
circular, held at the Guildhall Coffeehouse, London, on Tues-
day, the 7th day of August, 1860, for the purpose of consider-
ing the report from the Select Committee of the House of
Commons, recommending to Parliament the Embankment of
the river Thames in that locality—
WILLIAM GOULD, Esq., In the chair—

The following resolutions were unanimously passed :-
1. That the embankment on the north side of the river be-
tween Blackfriars and Southwark bridges, the plans of which
have been carefully
.inspected, will, in the opinion of this
Meeting, seriously injure the river-side wharfs and property
there, and permanently interfere with the trade and business
of the occupiers of the same and the navigation of the river,
without effecting any public benefit at all commensurate with
the injury to private Interests ; and that it is to the interest
of the owners, occupiers of property, and others liable to be
affected thereby to oppose any such measure in Parliament.
2. That the parties present agree to contribute rateably to
the expense of such opposition in proportions in which the
premises they occupy having a river frontage or otherwise
stand charged to the consolidated rate.

THAMES.

DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY IN A WAREHOUSE.
—Joseph Bruce, a man about 24 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with being in a warehouse,
with intent to commit a felony.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution
for Messrs. James Hartley and Co., the proprietors of the
British, Foreign, and Dublin Steam Wharves, Lower East
Smithfield..

James Taylor, a labourer in the employ of Jas. Hartley
and Co., said that at five o'clock in the afternoon he
heard a noise at the side of the wharf among the teas.
He turned round, looked about him, and saw the pri-
soner in the act of rising, as if from his knees, between
the teas on the wharf. Another man, named Willis, who
was on the alert, spoke to the prisoner, and said, " What are
you doing there," and directly afterwards Willis showed fhim
a box of tea. It was produced by the witness, who said, in
answer to the magistrate, that boxes of tea were not
brought to the wharf in the state that was in. The box of
tea had been tampered with. The prisoner got up from
the place where he heard the noise, and he had no doubt his
intention was to steal tea from the box.

William Willis, another labourer, in the employ of James
Hartley, said the prisoner was not employed on the
wharf, and had no business there whatever. Witness heard
the crashing of wood and saw the prisoner on his knees by
the side of the chest of tea. There was just room for a man
to pass in the tea alley between the chests of tea. The pri-
soner made an excuse that he was looking for gunny
bags. A gunny bag placed over the chest of tea
produced was removed, and the top of it was
split. The chest of tea was in a perfect state
before the prisoner was found on the wharf. The pri-
soner made his escape to the next wharf, where he
was detected, and was pursued and secured.
The prisoner made no defence.

Mr. Yardley had no doubt the prisoner went upon the
wharf with the intention of committing a robbery, and he
had been defeated in so doing by the vigilance of Messrs.
Hartley and Co.'s man. He sentenced the prisoner to six
weeks' imprisonment and hard labour.

bury, in consequence of a notice having been issued by some
of the principal employers in the town, to the effect that on

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The accounts from all quarters as to the weather
and the condition of the crops continue to be of the
most disheartening character. In several of the
city churches on Sunday prayers were offered up
for fine weather. If there should be even now b.
favourable change, and a moderate portion of heat
and sunshine, an average harvest might still be
saved ; but if, on the contrary, the wet cold weather
continues, the prospect is most appaling.
From Clonmel we learn the continued wet is the
cause of great alarm at this continued season to
farmers. The lowlands are all flooded ; the harsh-
ness of the weather has been decidedly injurious to
the grain crops in general. The wheat and oats
in many places are lodged, and cut and standing
meadows are at present in a very precarious state.
We learn that a great deal of damage has been
done by the mountain floods, consequent on the late
violent rain and storm, in portions of the adjacent
districts of the county Waterford ; nor is there, we
are sorry to state it, any doubt whatever of the
appearance of the fatal blight in the potato crop.
The gardens and fields in this locality are to a slight
extent affected, but great damage has been done by
the blight along the sea coast, in Tramore and
other parts of the county Waterford. It has also
appeared in the vicinity of Tipperary and Cashel,
but hopes are entertained that the loss will not be
so serious as in former years, especially as the early
planted tubers have attained to maturity, and are
of fine quality this season.
In Cork the weather still retains its wintryas-
pect. Dining the early hours of Saturday morning
the wind blew heavily from the south-west, and at
intervals showers of rain came down. Saturday.
was cold and wintry. A few bright gleams_ of
sunshine threw a little cheerfulness over parthe
forenoon, of
forenoon, but they were transient, and their rapid
disappearance only made the day appear drearier
still.

THE METROPOLITAN BUILDING ACT.—The Me-
tropolitan Building Act (1855) is amended by a late act,
declaring that the rules prescribed as to cubical dimension
of the recited act are not to apply to buildings to be used
for the manufactory of machinery and boilers of steam-
vessels, provided that such buildings do not consist of one
floor only. When the buildings are of greater dimensions
than 216,000 cubic feet, they are to be approved of by the

P.,UCE 4D- ST•IPED, 51).

Southern Hospital, made the post-mortem examina-
tion of Mrs. James, and was of opinion that death
was caused by the cancer in the eenna, but, taking
all the circumstances of the case into consideration,
and assuming the evidence of Dr. Edwards to be
correct, that death had been accelerated by the ad-
ministration of antimony.
Dr. Francis Ayrton, surgeon, who was present at
the post mortem examination, corroborated the
opinion that death had been accelerated by anti-
mony.
In re-examination by Mr. Bliss, the witness said
he imputed the redness found in the intestines to
antimony, and not to natural causes.
Dr. A. S. Taylor examined—On the 10th July
he received from Inspector Horn, at Guy's Hospital,
three jars, containing part of the stomach, the
diseased ccecum, portion of the liver, one kidney,
the heart, and a portion of the intestines, and sub-
sequently received from Dr. Edwards the whole of
the spleen and a large portion of the lungs. With
the exception of the spleen and the lungs,
he divided the viscera and delivered one-half to Dr.
Miller. The spleen, liver, and lungs contained anti-
mony. The deposits on copper produced by Dr.
Edwards were also found to be antimonial deposits.
He believed that the antimony must have been ad-
ministered during life, and that antimony given to
a person labouring under Mrs. James's disease would
tend to accelerate death. He had formed the opi-
nion that in this case the antimony had been ad-
ministered in small doses. Antimony, according
to his experience, was not found in an absorbed
state in the system beyond 15 or 20 days. During
this interval it might be found in the secretions.
In cross-examination witness said he could not
tell in what degree antimony had accelerated the
deceased's death. Life must have terminated sooner
or later according to the strength of the person. So
long as poison remained in the body and affected it,
and disease was present also, witness did not believe
that the disease would subvert the poison.
Dr. William Allan Miller, professor in King's
College, London, expressed his entire concurrence
in the evidence of Dr. Taylor.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur publishes the official return of the
Customs' revenue for the month of July, which
amounted to 10,205,000-fr., being a decline of
7,350,770 fr. on the same month of 1859. The re-
ceipts for the first seven months of 1860 were
79,387,000 fr,, or 33,375,373 fr. less than in the cor-
responding period of the preceding year.
A Paris correspondent of the .Nord says :
" At the diplomatic dinner given by M. Thouve-
nel, on the occasion of the Emperor's fete, the Aus-
trian note 'vas the subject of conversation, and it
was very curious to see M. Thouvenel, Prince de
Metternich, and M. Niger asking each other for
information on the subject of that diplo-
matic document, the contents of which were
equally unknown to all of them. It is therefore
as already stated, that no such note exists.
Besides, from authentic information which has come
certain,
to my knowledge, Austria is little inclined to en-
gage in a new war. She is prepared for any even-
tuality, and has taken measures not to be alone, or
at least to be able, if alone, to defend Venetia with
all her force; but she has no intention of provoking
hostilities."

BOURSE, Aug. 21.—The market, without show-
ing much more animation. as regards the amount of
business transacted, has been firmer, and prices

TRALEE SAVINGS BANK.

Captain STACPOOLE, for Mr. O'Connell, asked the
Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would introduce a
bill this session for the purpose of distributing the balance
of funds belonging to the late Tralee Savings Bank among
its depositors ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
there was a certain balance of money which was the un-
doubted property of the depositors, but the Commissioners
of the National Debt had no authority to direct a distribu-
tion. Under these circumstances it would appear proper
that some measure should be adopted for the relief of the
parties, but the question had been started at too late a'period
of the present session to enable anything to be done.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The Lon') CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that on Thurs-
day next he should ask their lordships to take into conside-
ration the amendments made by the Commons to this
bill. The advice he should give to their lordships on
that evening was they should not agree to the so •called
amendments. The Commons had rejected two clauses
which he thought most material, and what he should re-
commend was that their lordships should give their reasons
why they could not agree to the Commons' amendment
bill.

COUNTY CORONERS BILL.

The Commons' reasons for disagreeing to the Lords'
amendments to this bill were considered, and their lord-
ships agreed not to insist on their amendments.
EAST INDIA LOAN BILL.

The Duke of ARGYLL moved the first reading of this
bill, which was to raise a certain sum of money (£3,000,000)
to meet the deficit and outgoing in the construction of rail-
ways in India. The expenditure in Indiawas very great, and
until the military expenses were reduced, he Idid
not see any prospect of having the income of
that country brought to a balance with the expen-
diture. The mutiny in India had mainly led
to the deficit being made an addition to the Indian debt to
the amount of £40,000,000. Previous to the outbreak the
debt of India stood at £59,000,000 at 21 per cent., but
owing to the outbreak and expenses of the sup-
pression, it now amounts to ,£97,851,000, and
would, he thought, very shortly amount to £100,000,000.
Without they took active steps to reduce the expenses of
India, and place the expenditure on a more satisfactory
basis, it would saddle that country with a debt, which would
be a very serious matter.
This bill was read a first time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

IMPERIAL GUARANTEES.

Mr. HUBBARD moved for an address for return of the
unexpired imperial liabilities arising under either of the
following heads :—Guarantee of loans made by foreign
countries or colonial dependencies ; guarantees of interest on
railway, telegraphic, or other undertakings, specifying the
extent of the loans and the rates of interest ; also the amounts
already paid under such guarantees, and the amount still
depending.

The motion was agreed to.

ENDOWED CHARITIES BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.
Clauses 1 to 17 were agreed to with one or two verbal
amendments.
On the motion of Mr. LYGON clause 18 was struck
out.

Clauses 19 and 20 were agreed to.
On clause 21, there was a long discussion, in which the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Henley, Sir
It. Bethell, Mr. Rolt, Mr. Ayrton, and other gentlemen
took part, relative to salaries to be granted to official trustees
of charitable funds. It resulted in the promise that a clause
should be brought up on the report, on the condition that it
should be a temporary measure preliminary to a general in-
vestigation of the whole subject of salaries under the Charity
Commission next session.

Clause 22, which provides that clerks and accountants
under the commission should not be liable to serve on juries
was objected to by I\lr. HENLEY. He had no objection to
the commissioners and secretary being exempt, but he
thought that clerks and accountants should be liable as
other people are.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there would be no
objection to amending the clause as suggested.
The clause having been so amended was agreed to.
Mr. HADFIELD moved a clause, which provided that
where, under the deed or instrument constituting or regu-
lating any parochial charity, administered by the in-
cumbent, churchwardens, or other persons appointed by the
vestry of a parish, no auditor is appointed, it shall be law-
ful for the commissioners of charities to appoint an inspec-
tor of accounts.

The committee divided— ,

Inspector Holden said that was not the case.
Mr. Lewis said the fact of seven persons being taken

Mr. Boadon said if gentlemen so far forgot themselves as
