THE PAPAL STATES.

The following letter has been received from
Rome, dated the 11th inst. :
" The Paris papers were inaccurate when they announced
that Francis 11. and his family had quitted Rome for the
villa Feoli, at Albano. They are still here, and may be seen
almost every afternoon at the Theatre of Apollo. They are
received by the higher classes coldly but civilly. The Royal
family attended Divine service at the church of St. Jean
Lateran on Thursday last, the festival of the Ascension.
The Pope officiated, and seats were prepared for them near
the altar. The ceremony of benediction, which was to have
been performed by the Pope outside the church, was pre-
vented by torrents of rain. A part of the French troops
were drawn up on the esplanade outside the church, but the
rain was so violent that even before the conclusion of the
mass Gen. de Goyon gave orders that they should return to
their barracks,

"The ex-King of Naples and his family will not go to

TMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entrely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed' of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth-of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
it the cost of 5d.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
tar a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
■ fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

V with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers itqm De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
Is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. .We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagTant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London 'Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

COLONIAL MILITARY EXPENDITURE.

This committee resumed its inquiry on Thursday.
The members present were—Mr. A. Mills (chair-
man), Mr. Ellice (Coventry), Sir G. Grey, Mr.
Marsh, Lord Stanley, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. S. Fitz-
gerald, Mr. Adderley, Mr. C. Fortescue, Lord R.
Cecil, Mr. T. G. Baring, and Mr. Baxter.
The Duke of Newcastle was called, and his evi-
dence occupied the whole of the sitting. In reply
to questions by the chairman his grace said—l think
as a general rule a local colonial force is not so de-
sirable or efficient as one periodically relieved from
the home country—they become too much identified
with the population, and lose their military cha-
racter and discipline. The Canadian Rifles are of
a very different character; generally speaking they
are the elite of the colonial corps, and there is hardly
a man of them who has not three, four, or five
medals for service in different parts of the world.
When I was in Canada last year I asked several
men in authority, of course non-officially, as to
those rifles, and they all said they would like to see
another regiment of them formed.
By Mr. Marsh—With reference to volunteers,
they would be a very bad force to put down riots;
it would be a very one-sided affair. Ido not look
upon the connection between Canada and England
as a question of dependence ; I regard it as a ques-
tion of the retention of our colonial empire, a mat-
ter of great consideration which I cannot enter into
before this committee. I believe the retention of
our colonial empire is a matter of great importance
to us.

Chairman.—My course during this inquiry has
been to avoid any discussion about retaining our
colonies, and only to consider how we can best de-
fend them.

The Duke, in reply. to Mr. Adderley, said—
The Canadian Rifles are so fine a body of men that
I should like to see another regiment of them, but
the colonists consider that they ought not to be
saddled with the cost. I speak of Canada in this
respect as an exception. I do not wish to see a
great extension of that kind of force, as I do not
think it desirable either for the colonies or for this
country. I think the garrisons in Quebec and
Halifax could, in case of an attack from without,
defend themselves for a considerable time till they
got relieved, aided as they would be by a very con-
siderable volunteer force. I think it would be as
hard upon Nova Scotia to ask her to meet the ex-
pense of keeping up the garrison of Halifax as it
would be to inflict upon Hampshire the expense of
keeping up Portsmouth. I look upon Halifax as
an impsrial post quite as much as Gibraltar. With
regard to an opinion expressed by Sir A. Banner-
man, that if the fishery question between England
and railce settled it would not bo 400i:4aq

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN SPAIN.

Sir R. PEEL, who had on the paper a motion for an
address which was recently presented to him for submis-
sion to her Majesty on the subject of the Spanish persecu-
tions, said he brought the motion before the house
very reluctantly, in consequence of the indifference ex-
hibited by the noble lord at the head of the Government on
the subject. He had been requested by some British mer-
chants in Spain to draw the attention of the house to this
matter, and stating au act of intolerance in reference to
themselves. These merchants were in the habit of having
Protestant worship soleraniam on Sundays at Xeres and
Port St. Mary alternately, tmt. the
English consul at the
former place refused to allow such religious worship to be
performed at the consular residence. The party's name
was Gordon, and he was a Roman Catholic, and he assigned
as a reason for the prohibition that he could not permit the
Protestant worship, as the British flag was hoisted on
his residence, so that, in his official capacity
he was called on to interfere. These merchants offered to
pay for the services of a Protestant clergyman, but the
Council still refused to afford them any accommodation.
His object was to ask the noble lord the First Lord of the
Treasury, in the absence of the noble Foreign Secretary,
whether any steps had been taken on the part of the
Government to the Spanish Executive as to- the treat
meat of British Protestants resident in Spain.
Lord PALMEP43TON said with regard to the qusstion
relative to the removal of the tombstone it Was a subject that
could be answered best by his light hon. friend the Home
Secretary, who was engaged in duties that prevented
his attendance. With reference to the question of the
hcnourable baronet (Sir R. Peel) he (Lord Palmerston)
had received a memorial on the subject to which he alluded
which had been laid before her Majesty. Very full in-
structions had be en furnished by his noble friend the
Foreign Secretary to her Majesty's Minister at
Madrid, directing hint to mate the meet urgeut

THE CRIMINAL LAW AND THE FINANCES OF
INDIA.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition
from the European residents in India, praying that in cases
of criminal prosecution they should be tried by none other
than an English judge and by an English jury, and that
proceedings should be in the English language. He
thought that in point of justice the first part of the prayer
should certainly be granted, since in consequence of
the mutiny it might be supposed that a feeling
of animosity might linger in the minds of a
native judge. With regard to the second portion of the
petition it would not bo always possible, he knew, to ob-
tain an English jury. As far as the last part of the peti-
tion was concerned he thought that no objection to it
could possibly be raised. He also presented a petition from
the Central Committee of the P
Anglo. Indian Protection
Association, to the effect that charges properly belonging
to the Home Government should not be fixed upon the
resources of India.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.'

THAMES.
EXTRAORDINARY AND DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY
—James Riley, a well-known thief, a resident of that. in.

famous den Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Mr.
William Dixon, a commercial traveller, on the Queen's
highway, putting him in fear, and feloniously taking from
his person a purse containing 13s. The prosecutor was on
his way home on Saturday night, and while it was raining
turned into a public house opposite Whitechapel Church, to
obtain some refreshment. "He was not exactly sober and
not exactly drunk, but had wee drappie in his e'e,' "
and could tell what he was about. The prisoner
addressed him as father, and asked him to take part of a
pot of beer. The prosecutor foolishly accepted the
invitation of the prisoner, drunk some of the malt liquor
offered to him, and then became " perfectly insensible."
The prosecutor, however, could roc ellect that he was after-
wards knocked down and robbed.

The prisoner here put on that air of surprise and cringing
attitude so characteristic of Spitalfields and Whitechapel
thieves when in custody, and said, in a whining tone—
Please, your worship, the prosecutor's money got in my
pocket, but I am sure I don't know how at all for I was
drunk.
George King, a young man, residing at 7, Mountford-
street, Whitechapel, said that he observed the pri-
soner and another man lead the old man, Mr. Dixon,
into a retiring place in Mountford-street, at about half-

past ten o'clock on Saturday night, and upon his
leaving there the prisoner put his right arm round the
prosecutor's neck and his left hand in his right trousers
pocket, and took from it a purse or bag, which he trans-
ferred to his own pocket. The prisoner's companion then
struck the prosecutor and knocked him down. The two
thieves then ran up Mouutford-street, one exclaiming to
the other, " Nave you got it, Jack," to which the prisoner
answered, " All right." There was no thoroughfare, and
the prisoner and his confederate ran back again. The pro-
secutor got up and ran after the thieves, but he was so in-
toxicated that ho soon fell down again. The prisoner passed
by Whitechapel Church towards Osborne-street, and in
his hurry fell down on his back. Before prisoner could
recover himself, witness called to a police-constable,
and gave him into custody. The prisoner was being led
across the street when ho put his hand in his pocket and
took the purse from it. Tho policeman's attention was im-
mediately called to the prisoner's action, and the prosecu-
tor's purse and money were recovered.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been
( tried and convicted, and was a returned convict.

The prisoner—'4 ill you give me the name and address
of that gentleman ?
Mr. Sclfe—Yes. Robert Roche, Thames Police-court,
Stepney.

The prisoner said he had nothing to say to the robbery.
Mr. Selfo committed the prisoner for trial, and said the
conduct of the witness King was deserving of great praise,
and as ho had lost a day's work, awarded him ss. from the
poor-box fund.

High Sheriff, and Aldermen of Bristol," was received at the
Council-house of that city on Friday. In addition to the
address the envelope also bore the superscription " Upon

found to contain an intimation that London will be de-
stroyed in 40 years, and, as a reason why the civic authorities
of Bristol should fol an interest in the faie of the metro-

LAW INTELLIG.ENCE—(2Ias Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.)
IN RE UNDERWOOD-REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE.

This bankrupt was described as of Long-acre, Covent-
garden, and Drury .lane, grocer, and appeared a few days
since for fraudulent trading.

His Honour referred to the grounds of the opposition,
which have been published in detail.
The bankrupt had been twice insolvent, and in the latter
part of 1858 commenced a system of purchasing goods on
credit and at once selling at cost price or less, and in the
present state of affairs it was shown that he owed £8,600,
and the profits amounted to £2,152; the trade expenses,
£3,962; domestic, £600; losses, £3,954; bad debts, £1,356.

His Honour went through a variety of cases, and on the
authority of two, " Holthouse" and " Coleman," refused
the certificate on the ground that the bankrtpt had syste-
matically obtained grants on credit in the ordinary course
of business. His Honour added that if the bankrupt
was taken in custody on a B. A. certificate he might apply
for his discharge after he had been in prison three months.
Mr. C. E. Lewis pressed for protection for 21 days to
give the bankrupt time to appeal.

Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, objected, ualess Mr.
Lewis pledged himself to appeal.
Mr. Lewis said it was impossible to come to a decision at
a moment, and his Honour granted protection for two
days, to be extended if the bankrupt undertook to appeal.

Anti-rheumatic Remedy.—For all inflammatory affections
of the joints, muscular pains, and neuralgic tortures, the
sufferer need only turn to Holloway's unrivalled remedies►
to find present comfort and future cure. Whatever be the
predisposing cause of such pains, every one knows that
exposure to wet or cold induces them ; and it should be as
universally known that Holloway's Ointment, well rubbed
upon the affected parts, is a safe and certain antidote. It
soothes the severity of the attack, and effectually wards off
its future return. When the pain is allayed, continued
friction with this curative ointment soon restores strength
to the muscles, and flexibility to the joints. It regulates
the local circulation and precludes stiffness.

and the only defence that was attempted to be set
up for him by his learned counsel, was, that the
prosecutrix might possibly be under a mistake as
to his identity.
The jury at once returned a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Justice Blackburn, in passing sentence, said
that the prisoner had been convicted of one of the
most atrocious outrages that he ever remembered to
have been committed during his judicial expe-
rience, and it appeared to him that there was
nothing whatever in the conduct of the prosecu-
trix to give him the slightest justification. It was
very necessary that the law should give its protec-
tion to women in country districts, who were ne-
cessarily liable to be the objects of violence of this
description, and as a warning to others, the sen-
tence he should pass upon him was that he should
be kept in penal servitude for the space of fifteen
years. The learned judge added, that he had con-
siderable doubt whether he ought not to have in-
flicted a much more severe punishment, taking into
consideration the very aggravated character of the
offence of which the prisoner had been convicted.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

A committee has been formed for the purpose of
organising a corps of engineers in the City of Lon-
don. The undertaking is so far matured that the ser-
vices of the proposed corps have been tendered to
her Majesty's Court of Lieutenancy. The first
preliminary drill took place on Wednesday last at
the drill ground pro tern, Victoria Dock London
Warehouses, Minories. Effective members are
admitted into the corps at an annual subscription
of one guinea and an entrance fee of one guinea.
Honorary members pay an annual subscription of
two guineas, which may be commuted into a life
payment of 10 guineas. Artisan members are ad-
mitted under advantageous arrangements.
The Six-Foot Volunteer Guards, commanded by
Capt. the Hon. T. C. Bruce, were inspected on
Tuesday last by the Inspector-General, Colonel
M'Murdo, at Burlington-house. The corps went
through the manual and platoon exercise and vari-
ous battalion movements in a manner which elicited
his full approbation. One of the members attended
as an orderly in undress, with their large service
pouch, Col. M'Murdo attaching great importance
to the ability to carry 60 rounds. The corps were
accompanied by the drums and fifes of the Cold-
streams.

The Norfolk corps had an imposing field-day on
Mousehold-heath,
near Norwich, Wednesday, at
which were present three battalions—in all 1,000
strong. Assembled on the ground and minutely
disposed, the troops proceeded to engage in a sham
fight. The heath is very exte
nsive, in a short
time the complex manoeuvres executed carried the
combatants quite out of sight of the 20,000 specta-
tors, who were somewhat chagrined in consequence.
But, n'importe. The engagement was, however,
carried to a successful conclusion, and. Lleut.-Col
Baker, calling the volunteer officers round him',
complimented them on the steadiness and promp-
titude which their men had displayed.
The volunteers of Sheffield and Rotherham were
reviewed on Monday at Wardsend, near Sheffield,
in conjunction with six companies of the 58th Re-
giment of regulars. The weather being favourable,
the spectacle—the first of the kind at Sheffield—
excited unusual interest in the locality, and attracted
from 14,000 to 15,000 spectators, including mem-
bers of nearly all the principal families of the town.
The force numbered about 1,200, upwards of 800
being volunteers. A fee de joie having been fired
in honour of her Majesty's birthday, a number of
movements were executed with much precision and
steadiness. Lieutenant-Colonel Hood, of the 58th
Regiment, who was the reviewing officer, afterwards
complimented the Volunteers in the warmest terms
on the admirable manner in which they had gone
through the movements.
Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Thellusson reviewed
the 3d Administrative Battalion at Beccles on Sa-
turday. A number of manoeuvres were creditably
executed by the force, which was nearly 500 strong.
The weather was beautifully fine, and the spectacle
presented was extremely picturesque and animated.
On the Queen's birthday the whole of the troops
stationed in the garrison of Portsmouth were pa-
raded on Southsea-common. There were also on

TEE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TEE

BARON DE VIDIL.

The warrant for the apprehension of the Baron de Vidil
on the charge of attempting to murder his son was executed
in Paris. _ _

The Baron was arrested at the Jockey Club, and imme-
diate intelligence to the effect was telegraphed to London
by Superintendent Thornton, who has the mater in hand.
On a representation of the facts alleged against the prisoner
being made to the French Government, he was transmitted
to

the charge of the English officer for conveyance to Lon-
don, and we believe he arrived here last night, and the
charge against him will most likely be investigated at the
Chief Police Court, Bow •street.

With respect to the statement in the morning papers
relative to the condition of the son, it would appear that
his condition was somewhat precarious ; but such is not the
fact, as he was well enough last Wednesday evening to
attend with Mr. Ellis, the solicitor, before Mr. Corrie, the
magistrate at Bow-street, and give a statement of the whole
transaction, upon which the warrant was issued. While
he was relating the strange affair, he pointed out to the
magistrate the marks of the injuries ho had received, which
were visible on his forehead and neck.

The baron arrived in London this morning at eleven
o'clock, and will be placed before the magistrate at Bow-
street Police-court this afternoon.

The Nottinghamshire Handicap was introdueo, and

other horse we noticed being supported was Industrious,
at sto 1. Calpe was mentioned, but no taking price trans-
pired. Shipwreck has great difficulty in maintaining his
position in the Goodwood Stakes ; 100 to 8 was laid once.
but afterwards 100 to 9 was taken and asked for. Schism
was not quite so firm; 100 to 15 was laid, but was not ob-
tainable at the close. Brownie was freely supported, and
Elcho, who for some time has been very quiet here, was
backed at 100 to 9, while Surprise advanced from the 25 to
1 asked for yesterday to 100 to 6 (taken.) For the Good-
wood Cup, all the 100 to S's that could be got were taken
about Thormanby; 6 to 1 was taken against The Wizard ;
but not less than 5 to 1 each was taken about Optimist and
Mons. Etoile, and that not very freely. Closing prices :

DIVORCE COURT.—The applications to have the
marriage knot untied, or cut, do not much diminish, though
the arrears of past years ought by this time to be getting
few. The returns just published show that in the year
1860 212 petitions were filed for dissolution of marriage,
only one less than in 1859 ; and there were 62 petitions for
judicial separation, 18 less than in the previous year.
There were 13 applications for restitution of conjugal rights
in 1860. 141 causes were tried. The fees received amoun-
ted to £2,490.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—An accident of a very pecu-
liar character took place on Wednesday evening at Stan-
ley, on the Severn Valley Railway. A contractor had
been sinking a deep well, and after blasting the bottom
with gunpowder, one ,of his men descended. He was
almost suffocated with fire- damp, and fell from the bucket
when half way down. The contractor followed him, and
fell in the same way. Ito was killed on. the spot. The
workman was brought up alive by the gallant exertions
