The depression in the flour_ trade has continued unabated
since our last report, and very sparingly dealt in to-day, at

difficulty in obtaining them. The finer qualities of oats

moderate sale. Indian corn was without change.

MILAN.

The Vienna Gazette says :—" Some journals
persist in asserting that numerous arrests have
been effected at 11.1ilan and Venice. The facts
are these:—Some time ago the fear was enter-
tained that public order would be disturbed in
the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and as the great
number of condemned who are in the penitentiary
at Milan are a danger in troubled times, they have
been removed to Mantua, where a military force,
large enough to present security against any even-
tuality, is collected. In consequence of that
measure, the prisoßers detained in the prisons of
Mantuehad to be sent to other prisons, and they
were principally conveyed to that of Laybach. In
addition to this, the most dangerous of the precca-
tati, that is, the persons who, having been guilty
of offences, are placed under the surveillance of the
police, were arrested. It may consequently be
truly said that the arrests have only been made
among the scum of society."

" WRONGS WHICH CRY FOR

(From a Scotch Journal)
"In addition to the recommendation of Mr.
Hopley's pamphlet, in our paper of Saturday last,
we think it due to the philanthropic author, and
the important subject he desires to bring before the
public, to give the following letter, just received
from Col. Shaw. He says :

" have sent for the pamphlet above named, and I must
say that it surpasses all of horrible in suffering that I have
ever seen with my own eyes—heard of from others—and
read of in books. What can be done to get your readers to
secure the publication for themselves ? Every minister of
the gospel—every follower of Jesus—every patriot—every
parent in Britain, ought to possess this book. The author
has assuredly done his part, and more than his part : he
has handed a copy of his work to every member of the
House of Commons. The revelations which this treatise
brings forward respecting the sufferings of children in
manufactories is quite appalling. Only conceive of children
under seven years of age wearing spectacles. In the most
earnest terms I beseech your readers to become possessed
of Mr. Hopley's book. It is really a case of visiting the
Saviour in his suffering creatures; and who could endure
to hear him uttering the dreadful words—' Inasmuch as ye
did it not unto the least of these, ye did it not unto me ?'

THE EAST.

The Ottoman Porte," says the Honitear de la
Flotte, "has lately given its ratification to the
Danube Navigation Act, drawn up by the commis-
sion of riverain powers, instituted by the Congress
of Paris. The Cabinet of Vienna only waited for
that formality to communicate to the powers, par-
ties to the Treaty of Paris, the resolutions of this
commission, which are to be submitted to the Con-
gress for ratification."

A letter from Constantinople of the sth, in the
Vienna Gazette, says :—" It was stated some time
ago that the imans and muezzins were making
alarming predictions to the people in the
streets. This propheysing was dropped for a
time, but has lately been renewed by more
important personages and especially by the
higher clergy. Some chiefs of the medr6sse
and some priests of the mosque of Mahomet predict
the coming of new times ; one of them has even
announced that Ali will shortly reappear to restore
Islamism. Such is the effect which these predic-
tions have created even among the higher classes,
that the Turkish Government has caused some of
these prophets to be arrested. But that has been
like casting oil on fire. The residence of the
Scheik-ul-Islam is now the head-quarters of the
prophets. Meetings of the party of the old Turks'

are held he; e daily, and, titrange to record, some of
the ministem3 meet the to deliberate."

A letter 'from Belgrade, in the Hamburg News,

agitation has prevailed in Servia, the object being
to lead to the act of proclaiming the complete in-
dependence of the Principality.

ATTEMPTIXG TO 81100 T A WIFE.

At the Birmingham police-office, on Tuesday, be-
fore Mr. T. C. S. Kynnersley, a labourer, from
Burton-on-Trent, named William Ledbetter, was
charged with attempting to shoot his wife with a
pistol. The prisoner and his wife have been separated
for several months, and the latter came to Birming-
ham to reside. She had been living for a fortnight
past with another man, at a house in Montague-
street, Great Barr-street. On Saturday night last the
husband found out where his faithless wife was stay-
ing and went to the house. After upbraiding'her for
her vile conduct, and trying to induce her to return
dome, which she refused to do, he intimated that he

ad purchased a brace of pistols, one of which he in-
tended for his wife and the other for her paramour.
He also said that he meant to go to America. On
Monday morning the prisoner again went to his
wife's residence, and seemed in a very excited state.
He stayed but a short time, and then went away.
He returned a third time about four o'clock the
same afternoon, and met the prosecutrix with a
neighbour, named Mrs. Garrison, in the garden. A
few words passed between tham, and the prisoner
asked his wife to give up to him her " marriage
lines." She refused to do so, and he suddenly took
a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at his wife.
With great quickness she seized hold of the weapon,
and a desperate struggle_ took place between them
for its possession. They both fell to the ground,
and the pistol fell from the prisoner's hand. The
prosecutrix took it up and threw it some dis-
tance away. It was picked up by. Mrs. Garrison,
but fortunately the cap was knocked off the
nipple during the struggle. Both then got up,
and the prisoner exclaimed, "Never mind, I've got
another." The prosecutrix ran into Mrs. Garrison's
house and the prisoner attempted to follow her,
but was prevented by Mrs. Garrison's father and
mother. It was feared that the prisoner, who was
under the influence of liquor, would endeavour to
carry out his murderous intent, and a constable was
sent for. On the way to the station the prisoner
said to the policeman, "What should you say if I
had got one for you?" He was afterwards searched,
and in his pockets were found three cartridges,
some loose powder, between thirty and forty per-
cussion caps, and a number of bullets. The pistol
was loaded with powder and ball. The prisoner had
no second pistol. At the police station he told police-
constable Darby that "he was sorry it did not go
off; they could not give him ' life' for it, and he
would do it when he came out." The prisoner's
defence was that he had no intention to shoot his
wife. He was committed for trial at the ensuing

His Honour remarked that that was not now required.

The question then arose, in consequence of Mr. Dunn's
examination, whether Mrs. Conquer had a husband living.
His Honour remarked that it did not matter, after the
guarantee, if she bad a husband—besides he might have
been an infant. _ _

Mr. Buchanan contended that he had proved delivery
and receipt of the goods, and that the guarantee was suffi-
cient.

His Honour found for plaintiff, and, although the amount
was under a, allowed the attorney, considering it was a
case calling for an advocate.

IMPORTANT QUESTION AND DECISION.- CLIFTON V.

'WALKER.

This was a summons to recover a sum of money for
goods sold to a Charles Walker, jun. It appeared that the
summons had been served upon Charles Walker, sen.,
father to the defendant.

Defendant's father said that he received the summons,
which had not been handed to his son, who knew nothing
about it.

Plaintiff said he told Mr. Walker, sen., that the sum•

mons was for his son.

In answer to his Honour, Mr. Walker said that defen-
dant slept in his house.

His Honour held the service to be good, making a short
order, and adding some condemnatory remarks.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

11A.RLBO ROUGH-STREET.

JUSTICE NOT TO RE DEFEATED.—SERIOUS ASSAULT
ON A WlFE.—Michael J. M'Hugh, of 5, Green's-court,
Soho, was charged with being drunk and assaulting his
wife, blackening both her eyes and cutting her shoulder
with a knife.

Police-constable 99 C said, that he was informed a man
was murdering his wife at 5, Green's-court, on the pre-
vious night, and on going there he found that the prisoner
had greatly ill-used his wife. Both her eyes were blackened
and she- had a severe cut on her shoulder blade, which he
was informed by the mother of the injured woman was
done by the prisoner with a knife.

Mr. Beadon asked where the wife and her mother were,
and being informed that neither were in attendance, said
he would have them sent for, and shortly after the mother
appeared but not the wife.

Winifred Moran, the mother-in-law of the prisoner, was
then sworn, but in answer to the questions of Mr. Beadcn,
said that her daughter had the " drop taken," that she
aggravated the prisoner, and that the prisoner was not to
blame. On being pressed as to how she came with the
wound on her shoulder, she said, " she must have fallen
down stairs," and she denied that she had told the consta-
ble the prisoner had used a knife, and said that her daughter
was drunk at the time.

The constable said she distinctly told him that the wound
was done with a knife.

It being evident that the wife was kept out of the way
Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner from time
to time till he did get the wife in attendance. He was de-
termined not to allow such assaults to go unpunished, and
the prisoner was then remanded.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.

A telegraphic communication was received on
Saturday, announcinc, that the Isle of Man cable to
St. Bee's, in Cumberland, has been successfully laid
by the staff of Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. under
the superintendence of Mr. Webb and Mr. 'Latimer
Clark. With respect to other operations, it is stated
that the Berwick, with the cable for uniting Sicily
with Malta, will leave Greenwich on Monday. It
is expected that the cable will be laid and completed
in a fortnight, and the communication with Malta
be established.
Telegraphic communication between this country
and Malta has been re-established. Some time ago-
operations were commenced for the repair of the
fractured telegraphic cable between Malta and
end

liari,
but were stopped by severe weather. The -
of a portion of this cable, distant 160 miles from i
Malta, has now been landed at Marsala, onthecoastof Sicily, and there joined to the system communi-
cating with London. The effect of this will be to

statement that the cable between Malta and Corfu
is out of repair is incorrect ; perhaps only the land
wires between the coast of Corfu and the telegragh
office, ten miles inland, are damaged. As regards
the damaged piece of cable lying between Cagliari
in
and Maritino, Sicily, it may eventually be car-
ried to Marsala, thus forming another link in the
system to Malta. Another line has to be laid from
Malta to Alga Grande, in Sicily, for the Mediter-

SARDINIA.

A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels says :
" The French army of occupation is preparing its
winter quarters in Lombardy and in Parma. You
will have remarked that the French have troops at
Piacenza as well as at Milan, while there is not a
single soldier in the Duchy of Modena or in Tus-
cany. This distinction between Parma and the
other two Duchies has a cause. It is simply be-
cause Austria having tacitly accepted as a fait
accompli the annexation of Parma to Piedmont, we
act legally in Piacenza as at Milan, and in both
cities we are equally on a friendly territory for
the interest, and with the consent, of the Sove-
reign who possesses the territory."
The administrative organisation of the Lombardo-
Piedmontese kingdom is on the eve of being ter-
minated. The fundamental principles of it will,
according to the Independente of Turin, be as
fellow :

" 1. Assimilation of Piedmont to Lombardy, in
order to replace our administrations, which are too
much broken up, by centres of greater extent.
Lombardy has only nine provinces, and Piedmont
forty, although the population of the former
is 2,800,000, and that of the latter 5,000,000.
The consequence of this increase of the limits of the
administrative departments will be the suppression
of some of the smallest provinces by incorporating
them in others.

" 2. On this occasion the general circumscription
of the State will be reformed, and some compensa-
tion may thus be given to the provinces suppressed.
" 3. The provinces will recover their self-govern-
ment.

"4. Some large political centres will be main-
tained, probably in addition to Turin, Genoa,
Milan, Cliambery, and Cagliari.

" ti. There is reason to believe that the com-
munes will be divided into different classes,
according to their importance, and this classifica-
tion w ill be the basis of their attributes.

" 6. The administrative circumscription will not
'be identical with the federal one, as it is important.
to multiply the centres of the latter, in order that-
the administration of justice may not be too incon-
venient, tardy, and expensive."

FATAL ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.—
Ou Saturdey morning last a fatal accident occurred to
Richard Hales, a stoker employed at Woolwich Dockyard.
The deceased was at work on board the Ariadne screw
frigate, which is now being fitted with her machinery, and
while in the engine-room assisting to move a portion of the
same of immense weight, it fell upon the unfortunate man
and crushed him in a fearful manner. On account of the
weight of the iron, it was some minutes before the deceased
could bwextricated, and he was then so strongly convulsed
that it required six men to place him on a stretcher for con-
veyance to the Royal Marine Hospital, where death ter-
minated his sufferings immediately after admission.

THAMES.

A MIRACLE.—THE DUMB MADE TO SPEAK.—Charles
Stewart, a tall, rough-looking man, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with assaulting Mr. James Lugg, the land-
lord of the Goldon Eagle public-house, in High street,
Shadwell.

The complainant stated that the prisoner came into his
house yesterday afternoon and made some motions, indi-
cating that he wanted some refreshments, and he was sup- '
plied with what he required. The prisoner continued
making motions with his head and his hands for some
time, and at last knocked down a glass and broke it. Ho
demanded payment for the glass, and the prisoner con-
tinued his dumb motions and made him unier-
stand that he would not pay for the glass. This
went on for some time, and at last he seized a
bundle in the prisoner's possession, and declared that he
would not givo it up until he was paid for the glass.
The prisoner instantly recovered the use of his tongue,
swore at him, and abused him grossly, and at last struck
him a violent blow on the mouth with his fist. He then
gas e the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Selfe—The loss of his bundle caused the restoration
of his speech ?
Mr. Lugg—Yes, Sir. I have since given him his bundle.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he was in the practice
of being very quiet and making signs.
Mr. Selfe—You may be as quiet as you like, but you are
not to strike people. I fine you 105., and in default 14 days'
imprisonment
STABBlNG.—Elizabeth Harden, a very disorderly prosti-
tute, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stabbing
William Perry, a boiler-maker, of No. 28, St. Ann's-road,

Stepney.
The parties wore quarrelling last night in a ropemaker's
fields, Limehouse, and the prisoner took up a knife, and
after uttering some threats plunged it into the man's back,
inflicting a serious wound. He was conveyed by the police
on a stretcher to the hospital, and a certificate was now pm
in, stating that the wounded man was in a precarious con.
dition, and could not be removed at present.
The prisoner, with great unconcern, said,
the man."
Mr. Selfe—You are remanded until Tuesday next, the
6th September.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SATURDAY.

It is asserted that the Emperor will shortly pro-
ceed to Cherbourg, and also pay a second visit to
Chalon 3.

The Moniteur publishes a further long list of
addresses of congratulation to the Emperor from
the Councils General of the different departments.
As the sentiments which they express are similar
to those contained in those of which we have given
extracts, we confine ourselves to merely mentioning
the fact of their publication.

Marshal Niel, president of the council-general of
the Haute-Garonne, on opening the session, spoke
as follows :

" Since our last session great events have been
accomplished. The Emperor put himself at the
head of an army to defend the territory already in-
vaded of one of his most faithful alles, and to esta-
blish the bases of the independence of the Italian
people. The ability of his manoeuvres and the
rapidity of his success have astonished Europe, but
the world has been still more astonished at the mo-
deration of the conqueror. The French people have
nobly sustained the trial. They offered for the ex-
penses of the war much more than they were asked
for, and to the fears which the prolonged absence
of the Emperor was calculated to occasion they re-
sponded by respecting the laws more scrupulously
than at any other period. The fete of the Emperor
has been this year more than ever a national event,
and a great act :of clemency has effaced the last
traces of our civil discords. Thus, in the war in
which she has just been engaged, France has in-
creased in greatness in the eyes of all—much more
by the spectacle of her union and force, than by the
glory of her victories."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—The solar spots which have lately attracted
the attention of your correspondents, concerning
which information is asked, are not of recent ap-
pearance ; they have been visible to the naked eye
from some places for many weeks. As a detailed
account of them may be expected from some of the
observatories in the scientific journals, it will suffice
to say that I first saw them on the 22d ult., from
the deck of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Navigation Company's ship Ripon, Capt. Christian,
as we were steaming out of the harbour of Alexan-
dria.
i The supposed connexion between these open-
ings n the solar atmosphere and a high range of
terrestrial temperature promises to be confirmed
when meteorologists collect the thermometrical re-
cords of the season. My observations extend from
Nagasaki to Southampton, but, being those of a
traveller only, cannot be regarded as conclusive.
lake Shanghai and Gibraltar as examples. At the
former port, in the office of the North China Herald,
the maximum by day and the minimum by night
for the weeks ending the 24th of June, 1858 and
1859, were as follows :

Week ending June 21, 1858. Week ending June 24, 1859.

At Gibraltar I ascertained that in the south of
Spain, the heat in the month of July was unprece-
dented. Cattle died in the field from exposure to
the sun, and so dangerous had agricultural occupa-
tions become that the authorities had interdicted all
field labour during the hot hours of the day.
It is not unlikely that it will be found that the
increase of temperature has been local and transient,
but it will not, therefore, follow that solar pheno-
mena exercise no influence on our atmosphere.
