The anniversary of the proclamation of the French
Republic was celebrated by the French troops at
Rome by a sham fight and a review.
Letters from Palerme, published in the Concordia,
state that King BoMBA bas imposed heavy taxes and
duties upon the inhabitants of Palermo, to pay for
the expense of the bombs and shells with which he
attempted to destroy their city.
A letter from Turin, of the 27th ult., says--
"Among the deputies recently elected to Parliament

is Count HENRY AVIGDOR, who resided several years
in London, where he married the second daughter of
Baron Got,Dsmiu. Count AVIGDOR is of the political
school of Sir RonEirr PEEL ; he also is 'a free-trader,
and it is hoped that he will bring into the Piedmon
tese Parliament that practical spirit in business the
principles ,of which he studied during his long resi-
dence in England."

CITY, QUARTER 7'o THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy,
and Americans were id. per lb. lower The sales were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 600 American were
taken for export, and 700 on speculation. The sales
comprised 4,000 American, 900 Pernam and Maranham
at 61d. to 64d., 200 ,Surat at 4kcl. to 5d., and 40 Sea
Island at ls. td. to ls. 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares
were firm and tolerably active, and prices were
looking up.
The Colonial Produce Markets have continued ex-
ceedingly dull, and Stocks are now in some cases larger
than those held lest year, while the consumption scarcely
keeps pace with the supplies.
Mr. William Sbort advises us upon the metal trade
RS follows:—" Iron—The demand for Welch bars has
become very slack during the past month, and in Scotch
pigs there has been a decline of full ss. per ton. Lead
has risen 205., and seems likely to be dearer. Tin—East
India sorts are flatter and lower, but English Tin is un-
altered, with a fair business. Spelter is also lower, and
holders evince a disposition to meet the buyers as they
appear."
The Overland Mail brings interesting commercial
news from India, and the accounts from the different pre-
sidencies vary rather conspicuously. At Calcutta there was
an improvement in the demand for imports, and British
Cotton Goods were more extensively placed. Manchester
Yarns were also looking up. Money was very abundant,
but in more demand. Exports were experiencing a
healthy inquiry, although business was rather circum-
scribed by the want of a sufficient choice. Indigo was
firm, and with a fair inquiry.
The Bombay report presents quite a contrast to that
from Calcutta, fur the Money Market was unsettled, and
imports were in an unsatisfactory position. The native
dealers complained of extreme difficulty in effecting sales
even at reduced prices, the stocks on hand being too
large. Some improvement was hoped for after the
Hooley holidays.
A very important measure seems to have been re-
solved upon by the Indian Government, and one which
may exercise a marked influence upon mercantile opera-
tions here, viz., an increase in the duties upon imports,
and a reduction in those upon exports. Certain British
articles, twist for example, will suffer, it is stated, from
this change. but, on the other hand, the products of the
East will benefit. Undoubtedly, duties upon exports
are objectionable, but if the revenue would permit, an
augmentation in the charges upon imports should be
studiously avoided.
The Continental papers bring no important news
this morning, but what we have is accounted satisfac-
tory, and the English Stock Market is, in consequence,
still improving. Consols have realised 95j to 96k fur
Money and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 98i to 99, and the Three per Cents.
96- to 961. Exchequer-bills 555. to 585. premium, and
Indian Bonds 84s. premium. Consols now are 96 to 96k.
The rumours concerning a Peruvian loan have been
explained in the way which we stated yesterday they
would be, via., by an official intimation from the Consul-
General of the Republic, that no such operation is in-
tended, but that to meet the deficiency in the revenue
of 1849, the amount due to the Government from cer-
tain parties who have received guano, is to be antici-
pated. Capitalists in Peru, it is said, are ready to furnish
the requisite assistance.
The prices of Peruvian Active Bands have ranged
this morning from 731 to 74k, and of the Deferred from
31f to 31k. Mexican, Bonds have been 29k 4. Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have realised 34. Spanish Three
per Cents. 36k. Brazil Bonds bring 89k. Datch Four
per Cents. 87 to k.
Railway Shares have not been quite so much dealt in,
and are scarcely so high as yesterday. In the Foreign
Lines there have b:ea scarcely any bargains.

had to do was enough to kill a horse. That was the last
time he saw the deceased alive.
'Thomas Denman, also a turncocic, deposed to seeing
the deceased on the 24th, when he was very ill and
vomiting.
James Ashby, a fellow labourer, gave similar tes-
timony.

Mary Gillatt, who lives next door, said she saw the
deceased on the 24th, when he complained of great thirst,
a burning heat at his chest, and a violent pain in his
stoudtch, and she gave him some water five or six times
Her husband was sent by the deceased for Mr. Toulmip,
and that gentleman arrived with his brother at ten
o'clock, but he died at twelve.
Mr. Francis Toulmin, surgeon, said he was acquainted
with the deceased for several years. On the evening of
the 24th he was called to attend him, and on going to
his house he found him in bed. He was suffering from
pains in his stomach and cramp in his legs, and his pulse
was low. He sent some medicine that night, and called
on the following morning, when he was dead. He told
the prisoner that as the death had been somewhat sudden,
it would be somewhat satisfactory to open the body, and
she said she had no objection herself; but had pro-
mised her husband that no such examination should take
place. Under those circumstances he did not press the
subject. Ile subsequently opened the, body at the re-
quest of the coroner, and sealed up the contents of the
stomach and transmitted them to the Londo❑ Hospital
for experiment. The coats of the stomach appeared to
have been subject to some irritant poison.
Mr. Letheby, professor of chemistry, said ho had
analyzed the contents of the stomach so transmitted to
him, and found traces of arsenic. He produced 81 grains
in a metallic shape which he had taken from the stomach,
and said this was sufficient to cause death. Five grains
were enough to take away the life of a person. The
poison appeared to have been administered within a
period of three or four hours of death.
Other evidence was then liven of a similar nature,
but the trial had not concluded when our report left.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
No case of any importance occurred in this court to-Jay,
The Third Court sat before Mr. Commissioner Bul-
lock, and disposed of several petty cases.

BOW-STREET.—(Trus DA Y.)
Two fashionably attired girls, named Car/ow and
Ellis, with several aliases, and a young man named John
Henry, were charged with attempting to pick pockets.
A police-constable of the C division stated that last
night he was on duty in New-road, in plain clothes,
when he observed the prisoners in company together,
and knowing that Ellis had been several times convicted
as a pick-pocket, he felt it to be his duty to watch them.
He saw the two females walk arm-in-arm from Judd-
street towards the Tottenham-court-road, the male pri-
soner following at a short distance behind. On the way
the females stopped two ladies, and while Ellis engaged
them in conversation, Carlow lifted up the bide of their
dresses, and appeared to fumble about their pockets. Ile
afterwards ascertained from the ladies themselves that
they had lost nothing, and then continued his watch upon
the prisoners, who still kept in the direction of Totten-
ham-court-road. About half-way down the road he saw
them stop another lady and repeat the process of lining
the dress and searching the pocket. He ascertained from
this lady that she was conscious of the prisoners having
attempted to pick her pocket, and thinking it was now
high time to put an end to their proceedings, he took the
lady with him, and on meeting an officer in uniform, he
gave them all three into his custody. The man
he had often seen lurking about the streets. but he knew
nothing wrong of him nor of Carlow, but Ellis had been
three times committed from Marlborough-street for
picking pockets in Regent-street.
Mrs. Pierce, the lady referred to by the officer, stated
that the two females stopped her in Tottenham-court-
road and asked her the way to Lambeth-walk. While
she was directing them Ellis lifted up her dress and ex-
amined her pocket. She taxed the prisoner with having
had her hand in the pocket, when the prisoner exclaimed,
" What should my hand do in your pocket?" To which
she replied, " Well, I don't know, all I know is that your
hand was there."

Two officers idect'fied tho two females as well-known
pickpockets. Carlow, whose proper name was Andrews,
and Ellis, whose right name was Druce, had cften been
committed. The man was always with the prisoners
when they were seen in the streets.

Mr. Wontner, who attended for the man Henry, con-
tended that there was no evidence to implicate his client
in the transaction. The females said nothing.
Mr. HENRY thought it was perfectly clear that they
were all thicves of a very dangerous class, and as the man
had refused the option of being remanded to produce
evidence of character, he should commit all of them to
the House of Correction fJr three calendar months each.
The prisoners were accordingly removed in custody.
