LEICESTER, THURSDAY.
We have little alteration to report in the state of th
hosiery trade. Material c intinues at an enormous price,

price of material we should certainly have a better trade.
However, as the season advances, bu:sers will be neces-

NAPLES.

The Presse has the following despatch, which is
several days later than the letters already published,
and shows that the excitement and agitation which
our own correspondent described have gone on

increasing :

" NAPLES, JAN. 21,

" The theatres are closed ; most of the cafes and
hotels, more than half of the printing-offices, and
the greater part of the libraries are also closed.
The Custom-house is nearly deserted. Judge of
the State in which we are. The letter-boxes are
shut, and every person wishing to post a letter
must deliver it personally, into the hand of a clerk.
Since the explosion of the powder magazine and
the arrest of Milano, more than 500 persons have
been arrested, and of these certainly not more than
100 have been released."

MESSINA, Jan. 23.—Political arrests in Sicily
increase in the most deplorable and odious manner,
without any discrimination, and even against the
opinions of the local authorities.
The prisons are so encumbered that it has been
found necessary to dispose of the prisoners. Twenty
five were embarked in the night between the
20th and 21st on board the steam-corvette the
Miseno, to be transported to the Rocks of Utica
and Pavigliano, desert islets off the west coast of
Sicily.
Some of the prisoners were garotted, and the
exasperation of the people is extreme.
CATANIA, Jan. 22.—Commerce is entirely at a
stand ; the theatres are abandoned ; the clubs are
closed ; the streets are silent and almost deserted,
for nobody is met but agents of the police escorted
by military.

L )N DON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1867

Our extraordinary express, in anticipation of
the Overland Mail, has happily brought us full
particulars of the operations of the British fleet
and the British troops in the Persian Gulf at the
beginning of December. It now proves that
those warlike operations have been really, after
all, more satisfactory, all things considered, than
even the most sanguine had been led to anticipate
by the first brief intimation of the good news
transmitted to this country by the electric tele-
graph. The shameless violation by the Govern-
ment of Teheran of those solemn engagements
which it deliberately entered into with the Go-
vernment of Great Britain in 1863 has, indeed,
already been most summarily avenged ! The
SEAR has enjoyed but small leisure during which
to exult over his seizure of Herat, upon the
miserable pretext of DOST MAHOMED having been
instigated, by the Anglo-Indian Cabinet, to ad-
vance with a hostile array of Ameers and Affghans
against his Persian Majesty's dominions, as close
upon the frontiers of those dominions as the city
of Candahar. Scarcely two months had elapsed
from the date of the lawless occupation of Herat
by the troops of the SHAH, when the whole sea-
board of his empire in the Persian Gulf had fallen
under the sway, and before the prowess, and at
tie first assault of the British Expedition ! That
expedition, bearing the flag of Admiral Sir H.
L&EKE, had taken its deparWre from Bombay on
the 18th of October consisting of some
forty-five sail of the line, carrying from
5,000 to 6,000 troops, under Major-General
FOSTER STALKER. The political charge of OUT
affairs in the Persian Gulf having been formally
entrusted to our quondam resident at Lucknow,
Lieutenant-General Sir JAMES OUTRAM. Arrived
at the Persian Gulf about the 20th, the British
Pleat, it appears, rendezvoused on the 24th off

mouth of the Gulf, and appertaining to the domi-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.=—(This Day.)

SOUTHWARK.

DARING ROBBERY AT A WATCHIf AKER'S.—John
Philip White, a powerful looking young fellow, was
brought up in custody, charged with breaking a square
of glass in the shop window of a watchmaker at 73,
Union Street, Southwark, and stealing from the inside
a valuable silver watch, the property of Patrick Strick-
land.

The prosecutor stated that, about half-past 8 o'clock
on the previous evening, he ieft his shop in the care of
Mr. Myers, a cloc;kmaker, who hired one of the windows
to expose his clocks for sale. At that time witness saw
the watch in question, with upwards of twenty others,
hanging by the windows. At half-past 9 o'clock, he
was sent fer, when he found that a large square of glass
in his window had been broken, and that one of the
watches had been stolen. The prisoner was in the shop
with Mr. Myers, when he sent for a constable and gave
him into custody.. The watch had not been found.'
Charles Myers, clockmaker, at 73, Union-street, said
he was hanging up a clock about half-past nine on the
previous night behind the counter, when he heard one
of the squares i❑ the vrosecutor's window smash, and
on looking round he saw a man's hand seizing a watch,
which he ran off with. Witness immediately ran out
of the shop and saw a man running, and a few minutes
afterwards the prisoner was brought back to the shop,
and his left band was bleeding. Witness did not see the
man's face, but he knew it was his left hand that was
through the square. He sent for the prosecutor, who
gave him into custody, but the watch was not found on
him.

William Goding said he was passing the Roebuck
Tavern about half-past 9 o'clock, when he saw the pri-
soner running from the direction of the prosecutor's
shop, and hearing the cries of " Stop, thief," he pursued
him into another-street, when be succeeded in capturing
him, and after a great deal of struggling he detained him
until a constable carne up, when he assisted in taking
him to the prosecutor's shop. His left hand was
bleeding, apparently from a cut inflicted with glass.
The prisoner, who denied having broken the window
or stealing the watch, was fully committed for trial.

THE EIDDERMINBTEa BANK.

The affairs of this bank are to be wound up
through the agency of the Court of Chancery, and
a notice has been issued requiring creditors to
prove their debts on or before Feb. 25, the 4th of
March being the day appointed for adjudicating
upon claims. An adjourned meeting of the credi-
tors was to be held at Kidderminster last night. A.
statement of the position of the bank has been pre-
pared by an accountant. This shows the amount
due to creditors on deposit and current accounts to
be 32,000/. ; the notes in circulation, 6,1551. ; mis-
cellaneous and private creditors, 1,000/. ; trust ac-
count, 5,8001. ; and due to savings-bank (to be paid
in full), 765/. ; making a total of 45,720/. ; while
the estimated assets are 32,1191., which includes
2,2451. in cash, bills,
adanendbdt3o,srse,octu,lr7.ities in hand ;
20,2941., debts on open accounts ; a policy of in-
surance

agents,
thents life26soofl. a; money at
00valfue of private
property. In addition to the above, there are free-
hold prorerties to be given up to the estate valued
at 2,5751., making a total in round numbers of
34,7001. At the time the bank stopped payment
the amount of bills under re-discount was nearly
40,0001., while the bills and securities actually in
the Louse amounted to only 1,000/. It is under-
stood that there are settled estates in Northamp-
tonshire which are not available for the creditors.
The present estimate is that if the assets turn out
good, and litigation is avoided, the dividend will be
about 123. 6d. in the pound. A petition by several
creditors, adverse to the winding up, has been
dismissed.

SPAIN.

MADRID; Jan. 28.—The state of her Majesty
continues to improve ; the Gazette has ceased `pub-
lishing bulletins. It is much doubted whether her
Majesty will undertake her projected voyage to
Andalusia, as the small-pox is committing ravages
in that province.
The journals of the 24th give some details re-
specting the republican conspiracy, the discovery
of which made some noise a short time ago.
The conspirators, it seems, were arrested in the
Galle de la Magdalena, where were seized some
four thousand proclamations, exciting the army
to revolt and to assassinate their. officers ; some
firearms, a cap of liberty, and a list of persons in
complicity with the heads of the plot. The leader
of the conspiracy
.was a retired colonel, and M.
Becerra, the captain of the national guard, whose
arrest has been announced, was mixed up in it.
The affair is described as of no importance. At'
Barcelona employment had been provided for the
working men, and all alarm of an outbreak had
ceased.

The Prussian National Gazette says :—" The
commission appointed to consider the divorce bill
has declared by 13 votes to 6 in favour of the Go•
vernmeut plan, slightly modified. The Roman
Catholic members had asked for the establishment
of special ecclesiastical tribunals, but that propo-
sition was rejected after some warm discussion,
although the said members had declared that they
would consider it their duty to vote against the
whole bill, if their amendment was rejected."

A letter from Berne states that M. Stcempfli has
proposed to the Federal Council to appropriate
what remains of the military credit granted for the
late military preparations to providing all the com-
panies of the foot chasseurs with rifles.

The accounts from the German money markets appear
more favourable than for Elome time past. Capital is
becoming more abundant, and there is a disposition on
the part of the public to make investments.
Advices from Naples, dated January 24, state that the
greatest alarm prevailed. The theatres are all &Litt.
Political arrests continue daily. The Kitg is at Caserta.

AUSTRIA.

Tie following is the letterof the Emperor Francis
Joseph to Marshal Radetzky, announcing a general
amnesty to all political prisoners in the Lonibardo-
Venetian provinces. It is dated Milan, January
the 25th :

" Dear Field Marshal Count Radetzliy—l decide by
way of favour (trove in via di grazia) to releasl all per
sons belonging to the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom
now imprisoned for.the crimes of high treason, disturb
ante of public tranquillity, revolt and insurrection, fiom
the entire punishment to which they have been sentenced,
and to command that they shall be immediately set at
liberty. At the same time I determine to annul all the
proceedings pending in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom
for the above-mentioned crimes, commanding the release
from prison of the persons detained for those causes.
The special court existing at Mantua ceases from this
moment, and its functions shall be at an end."
A letter dated Vienna, Jan. 20, says :—The
dissolution of the Special Criminal Court, which
held its sittings at MantliN will not fail to
produce an excellent impression on the in-
habitants of the Lombardo -Venetian king-
dom. The tribunal in question, which was
as odious to the Italians as was the Star Chamber
to the subjects of his Majesty King Charles I. of
England, was not a court-martial in the strict sense
of the expression : but military judges, called a udi-
tores, were attached to it, and it rarely or never hap-
peued that a person accused of treasonable practices
was discharged because his innocence was proved.
If a prisoner was liberated, it was because his guilt
was "not proven" (al) instantia). The dissolution
of the special court at Mantua is a proof that the
Emperor is resolved to try whether his Italian sub-
jects may not be governed with the sceptre instead
of the sword, and it will probably be their own
fault if he again has recourse to harsh measures.
It is evident that the intentions of the Sovereign
and of his official advisers are good, but it is greatly
to be feared that the favourable impression which
the recent measures have produced wia be
weakened by want of tact of the inferior authori-
ties. It would not be advisable to hold the reins
of Government loosely, but every measure which
could needlessly wound the pride or give umbrage
to the Italians ought to be carefully avoided.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his Irequent practi-
sal contributions 'to German medical literature. This is the first

cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any

and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
ould find its way into the hands of those who gaffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
leis importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—

MR. SPEAKER IN JEOPARDY.

Among the numerous incidents that have occur red
during the few days the House of Commons has been
swearing in the members, one happened yesterday that
was very near resulting in an uni,leasant detention of
the Speaker in his chair for an indefinite period. The
swearing-in of the members was pretty br sk in the early
part of the day, but as it drew near 4 o'clock the groups
that came up to take the oaths and subscribe the Par-
liamentary roll became " small by degrees and beauti-
fully less," until the last one only numbered three. AR
they were introduced to Mr. Speaker they passed round
by the back of his chair and left the house. The last
one who was presented was Mr. W. W. F. Hume, the
member for Wicklow, and af:er the formal introduction
was over, he staid chatting with the Speaker for about
three minutes, and was about leaving the house, when
Sir Denis Le Merchant called the Speaker's attention to
the fact, that there was not another member present to
move the adjournment of the house. Mr. Hume was
accordingly r: quested to return and do that kind office
for the Speaker, or he would have been unable to leave
the chair until some hoe. member could be procured to
release him. Mr. Hume at once returned, and, taking
his seat at the Treasury benches, said, " Mr. Speaker,
I move that this house do now adjourn." There being
no member present to move an amendment on this
motion, it was carried by the mover, and the Speaker
retired.

in regard to Government reform returns should be
laid before the house, showing the effect of reform on
educational and other questions, and allow the country
an opportunity of expressing an opinion thereon, as
j the basis of a new reform bill. (Cries of " Question,
question.")

Lerd PALMERSTON said that they had decline
entering into a detailed discussion of the various points
i❑ the address, and he should follow that example. With
regard to the establishment of a Minister of Justice, the
Government in the last session said it was a difficult
queAion to be carried out, and he could only now
say the Government had the question under considera-
tion, and he hoped it would be found sufficient for car-
rying out the intentions of Parliament. Considering
the short period this Parliament could sit, and the num-
ber of measures to he introduced, it was necessary
the hou-e should, i❑ discussing Parliamentary Reform,
consider that no practical good could result this session
result from rt. It would unsettle people's minds, and
embarrass the Government in another session. In the
recess the Government intended to c'elsider the question,
and it would be impossibly for him then to make any
statement of details relative to the views of the Go
ment. He felt it would be the duty of the Government
to give it serious consideration, and on the following
session they would be able to produce a mea.mre
f the exteesion of the franchise (by giving

it to those who did not then possess it), that would, he
thought, be satisfactory to the peopls. He asked the
country to place confidence in the Government, and-
wait till next session for its production. If they would
not, why then the country had better put others
in the place of the present Government. (Cheers and
laughter.) His lordship then referred to the peace e;r7
fisting between this country and all the great powers of
Europe, which was likely to continue, and
that the more each country advanced in civi.
lisation, the less inclined would they be to ham
recourse to discord. The question of Church-rates was
under the consideration of the Government. He could
not promise definitely the introduction of the measure,

it was under consideration, and the Government in-
tended to introduce, if possible, a measure that would
give satisfaction to all.
_ _

Mr. ROEBUCK said that he should not throw any
obstacles in the way of the noble lord relitive to Parlia-
mentary reform, after the promise which he had made
to introduce a Reform Bi:1 next session.

The question was then put and agreed to nem. con.,
and a committee was appointed to draw up the reply to
the Royal Speech.

The house adjourned at 12 minutes past 6 o'clock.

LAW OF LIBEL.
Lord CAMPBELL gave notice that tc,:norrow he
would move the appointment of a select committee to
inquire how far the privileges now enjoyed in respect to
the reports of the Courts of Law may be extended to
the reports of the proceedings of both Houses of Parlia-
ment, and other public meetings, and also a committee
to inquire into the expediency of swearing witnesses be-
fore the said committee, and not at the bar of the home.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.)

Her Majesty's faithful Commons began to assem-
ble to-day shortly after one o'clock. Until two the
members kept arriving, and by that hour the Mini-
sterial side mustered a strong force, but the Oppo-
sition side of the house was rather thinly attended.
In the present House of Commons there are a
great many new faces, most of whom are cpmp Ira-
tively unknown and inexperienced in statesmanship.
Some of these may have within the germs of suc-
cess, but the majority will perhaps either sink into
respectable representatives or prove lamentable
failures.

The Speaker, attired in his state robes, and at-
tended by Lord Charles Russell, entered the house
about half-past one, and immediately afterwards
prayers were read by the Speaker's chaplain.
Shortly after two o'clock tha Usher of the Black
Rod came into the house, and, advancing to the
table, summoned the Speaker to the House of Peers
to hear her Majesty
Parliament read by the Ro
Majesty's speech on the opening of
y Commissioners.

The Speaker, in a.:.cord.ance, with the command,
left the houso, attendee) by the Sergeant-at-Arms
and the majority of tI.Je members present.
After an absene.;e of about a quarter of an hour
the Speaker retrirned, and the house immediately
adjourned until a quarter to four o'clock.

The Printees Marie Bonaparte (Madame Wyse) hai
arrived at the Clarendon, from Ostend.

The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton have left Pan for
Pavia. His Grace will come on to town directly, en
route for Scotland, but the duchess will remain in Paris
for some days longer.
