their madness they might accuse, as participators
i i their supposed crime. Thanks be to 0.,0,;, the
English law has been purifier!. irom that fearful
blot. Unfortunately, similar proceedings are still
not only pos.ible, but of frequent occurrence it
France, as the present and other rece trials tot.
surely testify.
Judging them by their own statements, they
ippear to have been miserable hirelings, ready t
as,assinate, or rather to promise to assassinate any,
person, if the stipulated price were paid fel
their services. But we are at a loss to
discover the "overt " act, or to adopt
the language of the ucte d'accusation, "the act
committed or commenced with a view to prepar,
its execution." They were at best but vulgar
miscreants. The 50 napoleons each, which
they asserted that they received in advance as the
price of blood, was the sole end and object of
their wishes ; and if we are to believe them that
any person or persons were so foolish as to pay
beforehand, and to trust to their honours (!) for
performing the sanguinary promise, it is more
than probable that they intended to cheat their
sanguinary employers, and to appropriate the
hire without doing anything to earn it. What
other xtanuating circumstances could be disco-
vered ? If they really intended to murder
the EMPEROR, and had taken steps with
a view to the execution of the atro-
cious project, their lives could alone have
expected the offence. Justice would not have
been satisfied by a sentence of imprisonment for
15 years—which may be remitted at any time !
In fact, they seem to be either the dupes or tools
of the police. Ia either case, not a particle of
reliance could be placed on their testimony, which
was contradictory so far as they were themselves
concerned, and without any adequate corroborat-

Against TIBALDI the evidence was of a very
meagre description. It chiefly consisted in his
knowledge of, and association with GRILLI and
BARTOLOTTI, and his possession of weapons, a
formidable show whereof was paraded in court.
He had previously borne a good character, which
would have been very beneficial before an English
tribunal, but he failed to account for his posses-
sion of these forbidden instruments of death.
We need, however, scarcely remind our
readers that they may have been obtained
for some other illegal purpose which he
could not justify, and that the possession
of the means of murder does not by any means
establish the intention to use them, more especi-
ally against a particular person, or in a particular
manner. Against TIBALDI, the statements of those
who alleged themselves to be co-conspirators could
not. be used in this country, and without them
there was nothing to bring guilt home to him.
There was a case of suspicion from his association
with these parties, who may be said to have
pleaded guilty, but that was all that could be
alleged against him.

As to the others, the whole matter was literally
"bosh," scarcely requiring an answer. BARTO
LOTTI declared that he saw with MAzzINI a stout
man, with moustaches, . whom he heard called
" RODRONE ROLLINI," but this man had left the
room before the topic of the EMPEROR'S assassi-
nation was ventilated, or the money paid, and
that he was subsequently told that MASSARENTI
had no money until he obtained it from this myste-
rious c`RODRONE ROLLINI." Why, if this
tainted and worthless testimony could be re-

Detesting murder in any form and on any
pretext, we would not for a moment support one
justly amenable to the charge, but the present
transaction has more of the farce than the tragedy,
and there is nothing to induce the withdrawal of
English hospitality from the accused. They may
certainly offer themselves for trial before any
English tribunal. No grand jury would return a
true bill against any of the party.

Whatever may be said of the Government
activity, there is one gentleman whose zeal and
activity unquestionably keeps pace with the spirit
of the age and the exigencies of the crisis. The
Geographer to the QUEEN has not permitted a
single moment to elapse before bringing before the
public three maps illustrative of the War in
China, which will enabh every person
desirous of information to follow accurately the
graphic accounts already rendered by the corres-
pondents of the public journals. The first is a
121.. an of the battle of Fatshan, drawn on the spot
by the special correspondent of the Times—a
gentleman who has certainly given a clearer
account of that important contest than any
that we have ever read with his admi-
rable account (which appeared in The San of
the Ist instant) ; and the plan, the measures
adopted by the Admiral, and Commodore
KEITEL, can be traced out step by step, and
an accurate conception formed of the whole.
Here we see where the smart brush took place
with the Fatshan militia, in which their jackets

7HE SLEMARINE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

VALENTIA, SATURDAY EVENING.

Thursday morning, soon after the ships sailed for
Newfoundland, and when at the distance of four miles
:roan the landing plitce, an accident happened to the
hickest shore end of the cable, which became entangled
vith the machinery, and broke at that point. The
boats were engaged until the afternoon of yester-
lay (Friday) in under-running the cable from the shore
o the place where ►t was broken, and there joining the
Iwo en is again. This operation had been most success-
fully performed ; the joint is as perfect as any part of
the-cable, and the continuity and insulation of the whole
ength having been ascertained by the severest test, the
qnadron instantly set sail at about sunset on the even-
ing of yesterday, and have kept up continued inter-
Inurse through the wire to the shore of Valentia since
hat time up to this hour, half-past nine, a.m., Saturday.
rhe ships are now 22 males off. The weather is beauti-
,'ul, and the sea calm.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY.

After the Lord Lieutenant had laid the end of the
Atlantic telegraph cable, Commander Pennock ex-
pressed the hope that the work of laying down the cable
would be completed in 20 days. The accounts of the
expedition are satisfactory.

LATEST NEWS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 8.

The representatives of France, Russia, Prussia,
and Sardinia have announced to the Porte, in
identical notes, the rupture of diplomatic relations
and their speedy departure.
The Ambassador of Russia took down his flag
this morning, at ten o'clock.
The intelligence scarcely amounts to more than
what we announced on Saturday. The portion
of it which is now is that relative to the conduct
of Russia in actually taking down her flag.

The Nord, of Brussels, on its side, gives the
following despatch, which adds some few par-
ticulars :

" VIENNA, AUG. 6.

" Accounts from Constantinople of this day
state that on the Porte having rejected an ulti-
matum from France, M. de Thonvenel last evening
pulled down his flag. This morning the arms of
Russia and Prussia were covered up, as were also
those of Sardinia.

" The Sultan had dec:ared that he would com-
municate directly with the Emperor of the French
by an autograph letter.
__ _

" BERLIN, AUG. 7.

Austria has addressed representations to our
Cabinet relative to the protest handed in by
Prussia against the elections in Moldavia. These
representations have been fruitless."

FRANCES
PARIS, SUNDAY.
The Constitutionnel contains the following
article

" We learn that the ambassador of France, the
m.L.i.c.ib of rrussia, or Russia, and ot 6archma
Constantinople have broken off diplomatic relations
with the Porte. If we are well informed, these
diplomatic agents had orders to demand from the
Ottoman Government the annulment of the elec-
tions which have taken place in Moldavia, in
flagrant and undeniable violation of the law or of
the electoral firman, drawn up at Constantinople
by the Porte anal the representatives of the other
pow(rs who participated in the treaty of Paris. As
the Porte did not think proper to oiler a declaration
conceived in that sense, M. Thouvenel and his col-
league of Prussia, Russia, and Sardinia have been
compelled to act on their instructions. We shall
return to a subject, the serious nature of which
cannot be entirely appreciated without a full know-
ledge of its details. We believe ourseves justified
in denouncing as unfounded any information which
may represent circumstances in a different light to
the above."

The Debats expresses in the following terms its
entire approbation of the step taken by. France and
her three allies at Constantinople :
" However muci the conflict which has arisen
between the Porte and four European Powers is to
be regretted, it may nevertheless be considered as
a step towards the solution aimed at by France and
by the three other Powers who support her policy
at Constantinopb. It is high time that the
question should be settled. When the Congress of
Paris, in the month of April, 1856, took gene-
rously in hand the interests and the destiny of the
Danubian Principalities, who could have expected
that this questicn would produce such serious
and prolonged difficulties ? The Eastern war
was concluded more than sixteen months
ago ; the points of the treaty of Paris which
threatened to offer the greatest difficulties in their
execution, have been settled ; but of all the ques-
tions, regulated by that treaty, that of the prin-
cipalities had not made a step in advance. Inci-
dents and quibbbs have it is true, taken place,
but it cannot be said that the question has pro-
gressed in the slightest since the day when the
treaty of Paris was signed. Private interests, the
secret thoughts three powers, have obstructed
the settlement chimed by the greater part of
Europe. Can less legitimate pretensions than those
which are more or less openly avowed in Constan-
tinople and Vienna be conceived. The grand
argument brought to bear against the Union of
the principalities is, that the union was not deter-
mined on in the tceaty of Paris. Nay, it is even
insinuated that the treaty of Paris is hostile to
that measure. Ve may say with' sincerity, that
courage must be required in order to brave public
opinion in so direct a manner. Doubtless, the
union of the principalities is not formally laid
down in the treaty of Paris ; it could not have
been established since the wise decision was come
to of appealing to the population, and of allowing
it to decide on the question. The whole world
know that the union was formally proposed and
recommended by the first plenipotentiaries of
France as the best plan for the reorganisation of
the principalities, and that it was no less formally
supported by the first plenipotentiary of Great
Britain. But there can be no necessity for discus-
ing so clear a question which has been settled by
every impartial mind. Public opinion has a right
to depend on the wisdom and firmness of the four
powers who only seek the sincere and loyal exe-
cution of the treaty of Paris. A continuation of
the existing state of things might result in seriously
disturbing the tranquillity of Europe. The late
events at Constantinople seem to indicate that the
four powers have comprehended the importance of
the question, and are resolved on obtaining its de-
finite solution in conformity with the letter and
spirit of the treaty of Paris."

The official Gazette of Teheran announces the
dismissal of the Serdar A.ffis Khan, Minister of
War, which took place on the 16th June. His
successor, Sadar Asan, was called before an assem-
bly of the principal authorities of the country,
when a royal rescript was read to him, in which he
was instructed to devote his whole energies to the
improvement of the army. The rescript terminated
with the following curious passage :—" As fpr
Affis Khan, he may get over his bad humour in any
manner he thinks proper.

A letter from Cettingue, in the Cologne Gazette,
says :—" Prince Danilo, in the presence of the
general discontent (.f the Montenegrins, has with-
drawn the edict which doubted the taxation of the
country. An attempt was recently made to assas-
sinate the Woiwode of Gahowo ; the latter pro-
ceeded at once to demand explanations from Prince
Danilo, who swore on the testament that he was
innocent of the attempt. The Woiwode on his
side, swore that he would not try to molest Prince
,Danilo.

According to a letter from Holstein several
members, on the meeting of the States on the
15th will propose to modify the first article of
the provincial constitution of 1854, in accord-
ance with the spirit of the old institutions of
the country. That article declares that Holstein
shall for ever be united with Denmark in con-
formity with the law of succession of the 31st July,
1853. " The rejection of the article," says the
letter, "would amount to a protest against the
protocol of London, and would have the greater
importance from the fact that the German Confe-
deration has not not yet recognised that protocol."

The Madrid journals of the 4th contain little
news. The Epoca says that after a good deal of
discussion as to whether the negotiations on the
Mexican affair should take place at Paris, London,
or Madrid, the latter city had been selected.
OnA of +ha pnnprq af.Aft.r that the govoromunt in
tended to send 25,000 men to Cuba to act against
Mexico, but the Epoca, a ministerial authority,
says that it doubts that any such force is to be
forwarded. Some noted liberals of the province of
Ternel had been sent to Giupusva.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH Via HALIFAX.
NEW YORK, JULY 30.

Our cotton market has been buoyant to-day at a
further advance of ic. per lb. The market for
bre tdstuffs is quiet, and prices have undergone no
material change since the departure of the steamers'
mails.
We have intelligence that the ship Cossack, from
New Orleans, for Liverpool, has been destroyed by
fire at sea.
The steamer Kangaroo, from Liverpool, and the
Oriel and Washington, from Southampton, have
arrived at this port.

NEW ORLEANS, JULY 28.

Heavy rain-storms prevail in this locality, and
our market for cotton is very firm, holders demand-
ing an advance. The business of the last three
days has been restricted to 250 bales, and the re-
ceipts in the same time to 360 bales.

COMMERCIAL UNION FOR THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.

--The Melbourne Argus of May 28, says :—" It is
understood that the chief object of the Governor's visit
to Beechwortb, and- of big -proposed meeting with Sir
William Denison, is the establishment of a commer-
cial union similar to that which has for many years
been in beneficial operation between Prussia and
the minor States of Gerniany. In Germany
previously to this union, commercial affairs were in
as unsatisfactory a state as can well be conceived.
Every petty state had its own tariff, its own custom-
houses, and its own customs regulations. The copse.
quence was that the iniornal trade of Germany was sub-
jected to innumerable and vexatious restrictions, which
were just so many clogs u); on the wheels of industry.
The Zvllverein has done much to remedy this evil. In
recommending a similar union to Australia, we do not
overlook the importance also of a poii!ical and federal
union ; but there is this grand difference between the
two kinds of union, that the political union involves so
many considerations, there are so many interests to
be reconciled and so many prejudices to be overcome,
that it must be a work of many years. On the other
hand the commercial union is one of comparatively easy
attainment ; the conflicting interests are few, and the
feeling among the mercantile body throughout the colo-
nies is entirely favourable. The establishment of a com-
mercial union would in all probability very greatly
facilitate and promote the still more important object of
an Australian political confederation, and with this
object there could not be a more useful preliminary
measure. Such is the object to which we invite tbe
attention, not only of the governments, but of the people
of the Australian colonies. It is certainly very im
portant that a fair arrangement should be made in
reference to the trade of the Murray, and we are
glad to find that the Governors of New South
Wales and Victoria have turned their attention
to this subject. But we trust that this will be the pre-
liminary to a much larger question, and that they may
consider the propriety of establishing a common Austra-
lian tariff, with free trade between the several colonies,
on the principle of the German Union. We have long
been favourable to such a system, and this is not the first
time it has been mooted in these colonies. The time
has come when the evils of a divided and antagonistic
policy are becoming serious. Sooner or later a more
comprehensive and more efficient system will be required,
and it is self-evident that the alteration can be most
easily and beneficially made in the infancy of the nation,
before c vested interests' are to oppose the general good
for the sake of a few."

WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 9.

The African Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet Ethiope, Commander G. Corbett, arrived
this afternoon. She left Cameroons on the 28th
June, Old Calabar 30th, Fernando Po on the 2d
July, Bonny sth, Lagos 9th, Accra 11th, Cape Coast
13th, Liberia 17th, Sierra Leone 22d, Bathurst 25th,
Goree 26th, Teneriffe 31st, and Madeira on the 2,1
August.
She brings 2,837 ounct s of golddust and 500/. in
specie, and her cargo includes 425 casks of palm oil,
106 pieces of ivory, 8 cases of gum, 6 bags of cochi-
neal, 3 boxes of arrowroot, 25 pieces of black wood,
432 piece,s of beeswax, and 10 cases of merchandise.
The rainy season had set in along the coast earlier
and with more severity than usual, as much as eight
inches having fallen in two days. Heavy rollers
prevailed, and Europeans were suffering in conse-
quence. Excepting in palm oil trade was exceed-
ingly dull.
Capt. Pearson, Ist West India Regiment, who
shot Lieut. Watson dead in his bed, was sentenced
to be hanged, but died in prison of a liver complaint
a fortnight before the period fixed for the execution.
In consequence of the internal disturbance among
the natives in the Crobs' country there was very little
oil on sale at Accra. At Aluaina, on the Cape Coast,
the trade in oil and golddust was improving. A
largo proportion of the Ethiope's gold was shipped
there.

The paddlewheel steamsloop Hecla, 6, Comman-
der E. Aplin, had just left for the Sherborn to sup-
press a disturbance. Several of the native servants
of the British Consul had been killed, and Mr. Han-
SOlre s life was threatened. Commodore Wise left
Sierra Leone in the paddlewheel steamsloop Vesu-
vius, accompanied by the steam tender Brune, Lieut.
Swinburne, on the 17th July, for the south-
ward. Bight's division is healthy, the average
of sick being 2 to 3 per cent. only. The steamsloop
Hecate, 6, Commander George Burgess, was at
Lagos. The crew were fitting a steering apparatus,
her rudder-head having been twisted off by the
rollers. One of her boats was capsized, July 4,
in crossing the bar. A Krooman and the boat were
lost. The previous day a boat belonging to a mer-
chant vessel was lost, and five men drowned. The
steamvessel Firefly, 4, Commander George Day, is
off Whydah, 'where there is said to be a large supply
of slaves. The stoain.vocciel Trident, 6, Commander
F. A. Close, was at Clarence on the Ist of July,
waiting to return to Cameroons with Consul Hut-
chinson, to investigate a charge against some of the
Cameroon chiefs of having murdered one man and
conveyed three into the interior. These men were
part of the crew of the brig Spartan. The screw
steamship Dayspring left the port of Clarence on
the evening of the 29th of June for the Niger ex-
plorations. The crews of several vessels in harbour
cheered most lustily as she steamed out.
The steam-vessel Antelope, 3, Commander J. W.
Pike, took a prize on the 15th of June at Aghwey,
in the Bight of Benin. She was called the Jupiter,
and was under American colours. When the
hatches were burst open 70 slaves were discovered,
and the master then threw his papers overboard.
150 slaves were waiting on the beach for embarka-
tion the next day. The Jupiter is a fore-and-aft
schooner, and has been condemned.
