ITALY.

A Naples letter of the 27th ult. gives the follow-
ing account of General Pallavicini's operations
against the brigands :—"The General's operations
in Calabria continue to be attended with success.
Another brigand refuge had been discovered at Gag-
liano, near the house of an old peasant. This man's
premises were searched, but the inmates, consisting
of himself, wife, and a young girl, denied all know-
ledge of the men of whom the royal troops were in
search. The officer in command observing, however,
that the girl always remained close to a large stone
near a door leading into the garden, ordered the sol-
diers to examine it. The stone upon being moved
discovered the i-ncsuth of a map, tm,-1 a discharge of
musketry from those concealed within drew all the
detachment to the spot. The brigands within—
for such they were—resisted for some time, until
driven forth by burning sulphur applied to the mouth
of the cave. The brigands here captured included
the chief Corea and his companion Rosaria
Mancuso, and the brigands Dardano and Tra-
passo. Corea and Trapasso, both guilty of a
long list of crimes, including several assassinations,
were tried on the 13th inst. The former frankly
confessed the crimes of which he was accused, while
Trepasso, not being able to offer a denial, endea-
voured to excuse himself. Sentence of death was
passed upon them, and carried into execution the
following day. The woman Mancuso was con-
demned to twenty years' hard labour ; Dardano's
trial was deferred. A report upon the operations
against brigandage during 1863 and 1864 has been
published by the Minister of War. From this docu-
ment it appears that during 1863, 345 brigands were
shot in execution of the sentence passed upon them,
509 were killed in conflict with the royal troops,
599 were arrested, and 325 voluntary surrendered
themselves. The troops and National Guard had,
the former 142 killed and 72 wounded, and the
latter 111 killed and 49 wounded. The brigands
committed 492 murders, and captured 454 per-
sons for ransom; 2,630 abettors of brigandage
were arrested during the same year. In 1864
the number of brigands shot was 65, killed
while fighting 246, arrested 330, voluntarily sur-
rendered 119. The troops lost 62 killed and 39
wounded, and the National Guard 27 killed and 14
wounded ; 243 murders were committed by the
brigands, and 497 persons captured for ransom ;
1,627 persons were arrested as supporters and abet-
tors of brigandage. From the above statement it
will be seen-1. That in comparing the two years
the number of executions diminished in 1864 by 280,
those killed in conflict by 263, and those arrested by
269. The number of murders decreased by 249,
and those of persons arrested for abetting brigand-
age by 1,003. 2. With regard to the troops and
the National Guard, the returns show a diminution
in killed of 164, and in wounded of 67. 3. What
has increased is the number of persons captured for
ransom, which is greater by 43 in 1864 than in 1863.

METROPOLITAN AND PORTLAND-ROAD.

Yesterday at the \larylebone vestry a numerous
deputation of the inhabitants of Portland-road,
Great Portland-street, and a portion of Oxford-
street, presented a memorial, praying the Board to
adopt the same course as they had done with regard
to Baker-street, in opposing the bill for making a
railway from the Portland-road station of the Me-
tropolitan Railway to the southern .side of Oxford-
street. Mr. Wingfield, Mr. Hills, and other mem-
bers of the deputation urged that if such a line were
permitted to pass the property of nearly 200 inha-
bitants would be seriously injured, and that such a
line was wholly unnecessary.. After considerable
discussion it was resolved to take precisely similar
steps with regard to the opposition to the Great
Portland-street line as they intended to take with
regard to Baker-street line.

ROME.

ROME, JUNE 4

It is officially announced that nearly all the bri-
gands on Roman territory have surrendered to the
Papal authorities since the promulgation of the
edict concerning brigandage.
167 kilometres of the railway between Rome and
Foligno have been opened.

Various books of religion and philosophy have
been placed on the index of condemned books.
Amongst these are the " Terrest Ciel," by Jean
Reynaud, and a History of the Schism between the
Christian Eastern and Western Churches, by Dr.
Adolf Pichlor, published in Germany.

Exciting Race with a Runaway Engine.

DARING ACT OF A FIREMAN.
About two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the
" wires" flashed the astounding intelligence to the
authorities at the Central Station that engine No.
392 was then tearing along the down line at tre-
mendous speed without any one upon it. The con-
sternation of all parties was immense, as it was at
once concluded that the unrestrained race of the
locomotive must result in causing considerable
damage to some portion of the line. From inquiries
we have made, it appears that the engine was stand-
ing with a ballast train at Durham, only the fire-
man being on it, the driver standing on the ground
near. While thus standing, No. 392 was run into
by another engine. The shock detached the ballast
engine from the train, threw open the regulator, and
pitched the fireman upon the ground. The result
of the regulator being open was that No. 392 came
away at a gradually increasing rate of speed.
Meeting no impediment to its progress, the engine
ran on at a great pace. The passengers on the
platform at Leamside station were startled by the
guideless engine rushing past, end the wildest con-
jectures were, of course, indulged in as to the
strange occurrence. It is usual to slacken speed in
approaching and crossing Victoria Bridge, and when
the engine came rushing on with unchecked speed
the Company's servants at Washington at once
saw there was something wrong. At this station an
engine was standing, the driver of which is named
Ralph Gilchrist. He at once saw that the engine
was a runaway, and detaching his engine from the
train, he followed as fast as he could. It was a long
and exciting race (the runaway going at a rate of
speed estimated at sixty miles an hour), that Gil-
christ only succeeded in ranging up alongside of it
at Washhouse-lane, about half a mile outside of
Gateshead. As soon as this was effected, the fire-
man, John Baty, in the most courageous manner,
and at the risk of his life, jumped from his own
engine on to No. 392, and succeeded in bringing it
up, fortunately without any damage being done, as
must have been the case had Gilchrist and Baty not
not succeeded in this pursuit. It was intended by
the company's servants at Gateshead, in case the
engine should reach that station without being
stopped, to open the switches and run it among

The English Stock Market has presented re-

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A THIEF CAUGHT NAPPING.—Charles Mobs, a lad, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a picture, some
gas-fittings, and other articles, the property of Mr. W. H.
Davis, solicitor,of 10, Golden-square.
Mr. Davis said that in consequence of what he was told
by his servant, he went down stairs and found the prisoner
asleep on the stairs, and near him a bundle containing a
picture and other articles, done up ready for removal. The
prisoner said he had got into the house, being out of
employment, for the sake of a night's lodging, and in a
moment of temptation took the things.
Mr. Knox observed that it was an odd thing that the
prisoner should take the articles and then sit down by the
side of them and go to sleep. Was the prisoner asleep or
simulating sleep ?
Mr. Davis said he was fast asleep. The prisoner had
formerly been a lodger of his housekeeper, who had a
room to spare. The prisoner had entered the house at
half-past 7 in the evening, and as at 11 o'clock he (Mr.
Davis) saw the place all secure, he must have secreted
himself. He suspected the prisoner was waiting till the
fire escape-man, whose post was close by, left, and then
intended to go, but was overtaken by sleep.
Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner that in-
quiries might be made respecting him.

A LAD'S FAILURE TO BECOME A SOLDIER INDUCES HIM
TO BECOME A THIEF.-A respectable-looking lad, who gave
the name of George Harvey, but said his real name was
Biddle, was charged with stealing some cigars at the shop
of Mr. Arbeb, tobacconist, Ann-street, Piccadilly.
Mr. Arbeb said that on the previous night he heard a
smash at his window, saw the prisoner trying to take out
a box of cigars, and he ran out and secured him.
Police-constable Boley, 300 A, said that on going to Mr.
Arbeb's he found him holding the prisoner and some
cigars on the ground. The prisoner said he did it
from want, that he had tried to enlist as a soldier iu
Charles-street, Westminster, but failing to do so, he had
broken the window with the intention of stealing the
cigars.

The prisoner said that being out of work, and having no
home, he tried to enlist. He passed the doctor, but was
rejected by the colonel, through being half au inch below
the standard.

from ?

The prisoner said from Midhurst, Sussex.

Mr. Knox said he could understand a person in want
stealing, but not cigars. He would not decide the case
till he heard something more of the prisoner, and would
remand him.

COUNTRY MARKETS

BRIS T OL-THURSDAY.

On our market to-day English wheat was in fair supply,
and sold slowly, at barely last week's prices. Foreign
freely offered at ls. per qr. reduction, without attracting
the attention of buyers. Malting barley dull. For grind-
ing a good demand, at the full prices of last week. Oats
scarce, and fully as dear, but the trade is devoid of anima
tion. Indian corn moderately inquired for, at a reduction
of 6d. per qr. Beans and peas dull.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A THIEF CAUGHT NAPPING.—Charles Mobs, a lad, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a picture, some
gas-fittings, and other articles, the property of Mr. W. H.
Davis, solicitor, of 10, Golden-square.
Mr. Davis said that in consequence of what he was told
by his servant, he went down stairs and found the prisoner
asleep on the stairs, and near him a bundle containing a
picture and other articles, done up ready for removal. The
prisoner said he had got into the house, being out of
employment, for the sake of a night's lodging, and in a
moment of temptation took the things.

Mr. Knox observed that it was an odd thing that the
prisoner should take the articles and then sit down by the
side of them and go to sleep. Was the prisoner asleep or
simulating sleep ?

Mr. Davis said he was fast asleep. The prisoner had

formerly been a lodger of his housekeeper, who had a
room to spare. The prisoner had entered the house at
half-past 7in the evening, and as at 11 o'clock he (Mr.
Davis) saw the place all secure, he must have secreted
himself. He suspected tho prisoner was waiting till the
fire escape-man, whose post was close by, left, and then
intended to go, but was overtaken by sleep.
Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner that in-
quiries might be made respecting him.
A LAD'S FAILURE TO BECOME A SOLDIER INDUCES HIM
TO BECOME A THIEF.—A respectable-looking lad, who gave
the name of George Harvey, but said his real name was
Biddle, was charged with stealing some cigars at the shop
of Mr. Arbeb, tobacconist, Ann-street, Piccadilly.
Mr. Arbeb said that on the previous night he hoard a
smash at his window, saw the prisoner trying to take out
a box of cigars, and he ran out and secured him.

Police-constable Boley, 300 A, said that on going to Mr.
Arbeb's he found him holding the prisoner and some
cigars on the ground. The prisoner said he did it
from want, that he had tried to enlist as a soldier in
Charles-street, Westminster, but failing to do so, he had
broken the window with the intention of stealing the
cigars.

The prisoner said that being out of work, and having no
home, he tried to enlist. He passed the doctor, but was
rejected by the colonel, through being half an inch below
the standard.

Mr. Knox inquired what part of the country he came
from ?

The prisoner said from Midhurst, Sussex.

Mr. Knox said he could understand a person in want
stealing, but not cigars. Re would not decide the case
till he heard something more of the prisoner, and would
remand him.

Mr. Vaughan said that if he had had the slightest doubt
in the case he should have been inclined to share in
the opinion of Mr. Lewis, but unfortunately such was not
the case. The evidence was of the clearest description.
The constable sees the men opposite the theatre previous
to the termination of the performance, and immediately
the audience begin to leave they aro seen to cross over the
road, mix with the crowd, and put their hands in the
pockets of the ladies waiting for their carriages. It was
true that Paterson was not seen to do this, but then he
put himself in front of Dodd, whilst he carried out his
object. It was also true that an honest man might occa-
sionally be seen in the company of a convicted thief, and
yet be perfectly innocent of bad intentions ; yet he
did not think it was at all probable that a man could habi-
tually be in the company of thieves without becoming
aware of the fact. The police were positive as to their
knowledge of one of the prisoners, and he could not think
that his companion was altogether ignorant of his character.
He should therefore deal with both prisoners under the
Vagrant Act, and sond them each to prison for three
months, with hard labour.
The prisoners were then locked up.

Exciting Race with a Runaway Engine.

DARING ACT OF A FIREMAN.

About two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the
" wires" flashed the astounding intelligence to the
authorities at the Central Station that engine No.
392 was then tearing along the down line at tre-
mendous speed without any one upon it. The con-
sternation of all parties was immense, as it was at
once concluded that the unrestrained race of the
locomotive must result in causing considerable
damage to some portion of the line. From inquiries
we have made, it appears that the engine was stand-
ing with a ballast train at Durham, only the fire-
man being on it, the driver standing on the ground
near. While thus standing, No. 392. was run into
by another engine. The shock detached the ballast
engine from the train, threw open the regulator, and
pitched the fireman upon the ground. The result
of the regulator being open was that No. 392 came
away at a gradually increasing rate of speed.
Meeting no impediment to its progress, the engine
ran on at a great pace. The passengers on the
platform at Leamside station were startled by the
guide'ess engine rushing past, end the wildest con-
jectures were, of course, indulged in as to the
strange occurreace. It is usual to slacken speed in
approaching and crossing Victoria Bridge, and when
the engine came rushing on with unchecked speed
the Company's servants at Washington at once
saw there was something wrong. At this station an
engine was standing, the driver of which is named
Ralph Gilchrist. lie at once saw that the engine
was a runaway, and detaching his engine from the
train, he followed as fast as he could. It was a long
and exciting race (the runaway going at a rate of
speed estimated at sixty miles an hour), that Gil-
christ only succeeded in ranging up alongside of it
at Washhouse-lane, about half a mile outside of
Gateshead. As soon as this was effected, the fire-
man, John Baty, in the most courageous manner,
and at the risk of his Jife, jumped from his own
engine on to No. 392, and succeeded in bringing it
up, fortunately without any damage being done, as
must have been the case had Gilchrist and Baty not
not succeeded in this pursuit. It was intended by
the company's servants at Gateshead, in case the
engine should reach that station without being
stopped, to open the switches and run it among

The directors of this company have resolved that

SOUTH WALES AND GREAT WESTERN DIRECT

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Westminster-chambers,
Victoria-street, Mr. A. Darby, the deputy-chair-
man, presiding.

The secretary having read the notice convening
the meeting,

The CHAIRMAN said itwould not be necessary for
him to detain the shareholders by any lengthened
observations, as sufficient time had not yet elapsed
since the passing of the Act for any other than pre-
liminary steps to be taken. Two opposition schemes
had been proposed, but he believed the scheme for
another high-level bridge across the Severn would
most probably fail on standing orders, and the other
project, which was for an opening bridge, seemed a
very absurd one, especially after the accident at
Neath. He believed that the works of the line would
shortly be commenced, and that the railway would
be most successful, both as regarded the interests of
the public and the return to the shareholders.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

PONTYPOOL, CAERLEON, AND NEWPORT.

The first general meeting of this company was
appointed to be held yesterday at the Padtlington
station, but there was not a sufficient number of
shareholders present to constitute a meeting. It was
stated that the proposed line would be a short one
from the Great Western Railway at Pontypool to
the same line at Newport, forming part of a
route between Newport and Staffordshire. The
line would afford accommodation to various im-
portant works in the Valley of Mon Llwyd.
The company intended to apply for powers
in the ensuing session to construct a branch rail-
way from the authorised line to the east side of the
river Usk, which would afford important accommo-
dation to the iron trade of Newport.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to our market to-day. The trade, however, ruled
quiet, both for red and white qualities at about Monday's

With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup-
plied. The amount of business transacted was somewhat
restricted. Prices were unaltered from Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at late

rates.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The trade
for all qualities was quint. Good and fine malting produce
ruled firm.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates.
Oats were in moderate supply, and steady request at

full currencies.
Beans and peas met a slow sale at late rates.
In flour only a moderate business was transacted on
'ormer terms.

METROPOLITAN AND PORTLAND-ROAD.

Yesterday at the ildarylebone vestry a numerous
deputation of the inhabitants of Portland-road,
Great Portland-street, and a portion of Oxford-
street, presented a memorial, praying the Board to
adopt the same course as they had done with regard
to Baker-street, in opposing the bill for making a
railway from the Portland-road station of the Me-
tropolitan Railway to the southern side of Oxford-
street. Mr. Wingfield, Mr. Hills, and other mem-
bers of the deputation urged that if such a line were
permitted to pass the property of nearly 200 inha-
bitants would be seriously injured, and that such a
line was wholly unnecessary. After considerable
discussion it was resolved to take precisely similar
steps with regard to the opposition to the Great
Portland-street line as they intended to take with
regard to Baker-street line.
