ITALY.

We read in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of
the 2d, the following account of the negotiations which
had taken place between the Sardinian Government
and the Holy See respecting the abolition of Eccle-
siastical Courts :---
" In the month of November, 1847, Count Avet sent a

note to Rome on the abolition of ecclesiastical privi-
leges, which were to disappear like many others. In
Way, 1848, Count Selopis sent a second note, based
on the same principles, deducible from the con-
stitution. The Pope instituted a Commission at Rome,
with Cardinal Antonelli at its head, to examine the
question; M. Pareto, then Minister Plenipotentiary,
hai several conferences with the Commission, and
request.ed his Government to send a project of the law
drawn up in articles. This was complied with ; the
Pope and the Commission examined the project ;
and at length Cardinal Antonelli sent a counter-
project in the name of the Pope, solemnly declaring that
the Holy Father would never consent to more ample con-
cessions. Title counter-project contained such impossible
clatf4es, that the Piedniontese Government considered
it in the light of a contrivance to gain time, until
M. Paroto positively declared that the document
in question contained the real views of the Holy See.
Sinoe negotiation would have been impossible if
the Paps! Court intended nut to deviate from
its projLet, the Ahla6 Rosmini was sent to Rome to
see whether there was aly chance of coming to a
better understanding. M. Rosmini sent in no notes, but
took every means of ascertaining the intentions of the
Pope and his councillors; and seeing them firm in their
determination of upholding their project to the letter,
he recemmenticd his Government to treat on that basis.
This the Court of Turin refused, and M. Rosmini re-
signed. Baron Demarghcrita made a last effort and sent
Count Siccardi to the Papal Court. After several inter-,
views with Cardinal Antonelli and the other Cardinals-

he too was obliged to give up :.the matter. The Pied-
montese Government recalled Siccardi, and having ex
haunted all the rules of courtesy, determined to follow
the example of ocher ggitalic princes who hal abolished
ecclesiastical privilegef More that time."

MARKET IN TEL LIGENCE.

(From the London blew Price Current, April 9.)

Sucan.—To-day holdvrs of West India Sugar were
not disposPd to make any general concession in the value,
and fur refining purposes a fair business was concluded,
but grocers made purchases with caution. At public
sale 150 hhds 2 tree new Barbadoes sold with spirit
at full rates, and in some cases rather above; fine
yellow fetched 41s to 42s 60, mid to good 3Ss to 403 60,

rara, crystakz,:d, went at the valuations ; low brown up

sented a quiet aspect, and former rates were not to be

tion. and allot week's terms there are free sellers.
Kamm'Ms.—This afternoon the quantity of Mau-
ritius Sugar submitted to public sale was large, and
amounted to 9,705 bags. There vies a desire on the part
of merchants to sell, but submitting to a:reduction on the
rates of Friday of 6d per cwt, caused nearly the whole
to find purchasers; fine and good yellow went at from
37s to 395, mid 358 6d to 36s 6d, low 34s to 353, mid to
fine brown 32s to 345, low 295, and low to fine grey 34s

yellow 40s to 425, mid to good 36s to 393, low 334 6d to

little attention, and 803 bags at auction sold at low
terms; soft brown at 282, and low to mid yellow at 29s
to 30a per cwt.

FOREIIIIN.—To-day there was little passing by private

East India met with a dull sale at 133 to 13s 6J.

COFFEE.--To-day the rates acceded to for good ord
Native Ceylon were 49s to 503 per cal, and operations
by private treaty were to a limited extent only. There
was little desire evinced to operate in Plantation at the
public sales, which comprised 122 casks, 414 bags; a small
part only sold at rather lower rates; good to fine went
at 60s to 65s 6d, mid to good mid 57s to 595, low mid
56s to 56s 6d, fine and fine fine ord 54s to sis, ord 503

chief part was taken in at from 54s to 603, being above
the value. Of Bengal 24 bags sold at the low rate of
403 6d for mixed.

prices co❑tinue on the decline, and rule at 28s to 29s per
cwt. British Plantation has been purchased with cau-
tion by private treElar, and nohe has been submitted to
public sale, whilst former rates are not to be obtained.
TEA.—Only limited orders have been completed for
Cougou, and at former rates there are free sellers; a
reduction is also expected to tike place, as
larger parcels are on offer. Green met with little
a:tention, and there are sellers rather under the
terms of last week. Scented and Pekoe
Tea have brea operated in with caution, and former
rates are not to be obtained, as the market is more
freely supplied. Today there were sellers of Tea
rather under former terms, yet dealers operated with
caution, and 9d to Sid per lb is the value of ordinary
and good comna9n Cougou.

and the private operations have been to a limited extent
only; Sumatra at 3il to 31d, and Malabar 3id to 33d
Per lie Nuimees have met, with little attention from the
trade, and if sales were to be pressed a fall in the value
would be the result. Mace is held for 2s 21 to 2s 3d;
few buyers are to be met with, as a fall is looked' for.
Clove. have brea dealt in with caution, and former terms
are not to he obtained. Orders for Cassia, Lignea are

and 2s 9d to 33 3d for 30 to 33 over. There has been
little diqaosition to operate in Brandy, and the stock
is still getting larger; sellers are willing to accept for
Cognac beet brands of the vintage of 1849 4s 4d to 4s 6d,
1844 ditto 4s 6d to 43 Bd, and inferior sorts 2s 9d to
4341. Geneva met with little attention, and sellers are
wilting to acce t is 7d to is 83 for export sorts, and
2.3 d to 3s 3d fot fine. There are free sellers of British
made Spirit at late rates, and the trade operate with
caution.

2d to 3d advance for picked lots. There has been rather
more demand for Spanish, and on the part of holders
there is confidence.

sion, still dealers operate with caution. The value of

larger, but there is an improved consumption. Rape

British Refined at 391 6d to 403, brown 38s to 395, and
pale at 40s to 41s per cwt. Palm met with little at-
tention, and prices continue to decline, sales having

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 9.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HoLsoyD.)

JOSEPH JARDINE'S DANKRUPTCY.-DARTFORD SA
KINGS' DANK.

The bankrupt bad for many years carried on busi-
nesA as a draper at Dartford ; he was also actuary c,f
the Dartford Savings' Bank, and had in that capacity
received and appropriated to his own use moneys of
the depositors, amounting, as was alleged, to upwards
of 2,0001.

This was a sitting for the last examination, but no
balance•sheet having been filed an adjournment was
ordered until the 10th of Illy.
Mr. LAWRINCE, on behalf of the trustees of the
savings' bank, called the attention of the Court to his
former application, founded on the 28th section of the
3d William IV., whereby the assignees of any person
becoming bankrupt, who had been intrusted with the
moneys of a savings' bank, were bound to pay to the
trustees their claim in full before paying any of the
debts. Mr. Lawrance stated that the forty days'
notice required by the Act had been served upon the
assignee!, but had not yet expired ; and as the depo-
sitors were complaining loudly of the delay and in-
convenience, the trustees were anxious to know
whether the assignees would at the expiration of the
notice be prepared to comply therewith.
Mr. JONES, on behalf of the assigness, objected to
any discussion, either upon the law or the merits,
until the expiration of the notice.
It is therefore expected that the matter will be
fully gone into on the day appointed for the last ex-
amination.

IN THE MATTER OF GIBSON AND STURT.-...5T. ALBAN'S

BANK.

The Learned COMMISSIONER, upon the application
of Mr. Lawrance, intimated his intention to give
judgment in this case, upon the question of certificate,
on Wednesday next, the 17th inst.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, April 9.
(Before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Special
Jury.)

WHEELER V. THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.

This case has been brought to a conclusion, after
having occupied the Court nearly four days.
The action was brought to try the right to certain
waste lands, and whether they belonged to the plain-
tiff, claiming as lord of the manor of Churt, or to the
defendant, who is lord of the manor of Farnham. A
great many witnesses were examined on both sides,
but it appeared to be very clearly made out on the
part of the Right Rev. defendant that no such manor
as Churt had ever existed, and that it was only one
of the tythings of the manor of Farnham.
The jury stopped his Lordship while he was in the
course of summing up the case, and said they had
made up their minds, and they at once returned a
verdict for the defendant.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, April 8.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Sarah Peters, a respectable looking married woman
with an infant at her breast, was indicted for wilful
and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Skinner was counsel for the prosecution and
Mr. W. H. Cooke for the prisoner.
It appeared that on the 25th of October, at a
Tolsey Court holden at Bristol, an action of debt for
goods sold and delivered was tried, in which the hus-
band of the prisoner was the plaintiff and a person
named Milward the defendant. On that occasion the
prisoner, who had been married to the plaintiff
since the cause of action arose, gave evidence as
a witness for the plaintiff, in the course of which
she swore, upon cross-,lxamination, that she was not
related to the prosecutor; that she was a widow ;
that she was a perfectly disinterested witness ; and
that she was not married to the plaintiff. The ver-
dict was upon her evidence given in favour of the
plaintiff, and it turning out that all her statements as
to her interest in the case were false the present pro-
secution was instituted against her. Notwithstand-
ing a very ingenious defence, in the course of which
the prisoner's counsel illustrated practically how
even experienced witnesses might state that which
was untrue, when confused by cross-examinations,
the prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to a fine of
on shilling, and to twelve months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

Mr. Baron PLATT then disposed of a City case,
which terminated the business of the circuit, and in
the course of the evening left for London.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

James Callaghan, John Jeffreys, Robert Horlock,
and William norlock, surrendered to take their
trial for a misdemeanour.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Woollett appeared for the pro-
secution ; Mr. Ballantine defended W. Horlock and
Jeffreys, Mr. Parry defended R. Horlock, and Mr.
Robinson defended Callaghan.
Mr. BODKIN, in opening the case, said that the
misdemeanour imputed to the defendants was that
they had conspired together to defraud their em
ployers of money to a considerable amount. The pro-
secution was instituted by the directors of two river
steam-boat companies known as the City Steam-boat
Company and the London, Westminster, and Vaux-
hall Company, and the defendants were in their ser-
vice. The Learned Council then proceeded to ex-
plain that although these companies were entirely,
separate establishments so far as the business of carry-
ing passengers was concerned, yet for the saving of
expense, and with a view to prevent rivalry, which
might be dangerous and inconvenient to the public,
they arranged at the several piers or landing places
joint servants should be employed to deliver and
receive the tickets from the passengers. The
fraud imputed to the defendants was that by col-
lusion with each other and other persons, after
a ticket had been issued at London-bridge or any
other station, the same ticket. after it was given up
by the passenger at the end of the journey, was re-
turned to the original station and re-issued ; this sys-
tem of fraud, according to the case for the prosecue
tion, having been carried on to a very great extent,
and occasioned very serious loss to the companies.
It appears that the alleged fraud was discovered in
rather an accidental manner, from the circumstance
of a gentleman, named Oldfield, who was acquainted
with one of the directors, taking notice that the
ticket which was given to him at the City-pier ap-
peared very crumpled, and this exciting his suspicion
he retained the ticket, and having communicated with
the company, inquiries were set on foot, and Jack-
son, the ticket-taker at the City-pier, was directed to
attend the directors, and from the inquiries that were
made of him, further suspicion was excited. Jackson,
it appeared, was allowed to depart at the time, and
nothing more was heard of him until six weeks after-
wards, when his body was found in the Thames, and
from the circumstance of stones being found in his
pockets there was no doubt that he had committed
self-destruction. The defendant Callaghan, it
appeared, was the ticket-taker at the Cadogan-
pier, Chelsea, and it would seem that suspicion
being attracted to him, he was questioned and he
then made a statement which ultimately led to his
apprehension upon the present charge—the effect of
that statement being, that ever since 1848 this system
of fraud upon the company had been carried on to a
eery great extent ; and in the result the present
charge was preferred against the defendants. The
evidence against Jeffreys appeared to depend entirely
upon the statement made by Callaghan, without any
corroboration ; and with regard to William Horlock,
all that was shown was that he was in the service of
one of the companies and that he was employed in
conveying messages backwards and forwards between
the parties.
The RECORDER, at the close of the address of the
Learned Counsel for the prosecution, asked whether
he thought there was a case against -William Hor-
lock and Jeffreys?
Mr. BODKIN said, he must admit the evidence was
slight, and he believed that he had stated all that
could be proved against those defendants.
The RECORDER said, if that were so, it appeared
to him that there was not sufficient to support the
charge.

BALLANTINE suggested that these two de-
fendants might be at once acquitted.
The RECORDER said that the acquittal should not
be taken until the end of the case. It might happen,
if they were acquitted at once, that they would be
called as witnesses, and they might by their evidence
show that there was very good ground for including
them in the indictment.

Evidence was then adduced on behalf of the prose-
cution. Proof was given of Jackson having destroyed
himself in the way described, and the manner in
which the defendant Robert Ilorlock was sought to
be connected with the transaction was by evidence
being given that in Jackson's box at the City-pier
there was found a paper in his handwriting, and
others of a similar description, which appeared to refer
to a division of money in fourths, and which appeared
to have relation to some transaction of the character
suggested by the prosecution. Whatever these
accounts referred to, they appeared to have been kept
in a most systematic manner, and the division seemed
to be most Equal ; and, if any roguish transactions
were really involved, certainly it appeared that the
parties had acted honourably towards each other, for
the balances were struck and the amount allotted to
each to the smallest fraction.

Mr. BODKIN having intimated that the case was
closed,

The RECORDER said, it appe ired to him that there
waskot sufficient evidence to :go to the jury. Some
very curious documents had cmtainly been produced

to connect one of the defendants with the transaction,
but, like the inscriptions at Nineveh, they wt.oted
translation. They were n.) doubt very suspicious,
and their character and etlect might be guessed at ;
but the question here was, what was the legal evi-
dence to support the charge that was made against the
defendants ? COuld the Learned Counsel suggest in
what manner thee papers showed the connexion of
the defendant Robert Horlock with the transaction ?

Mr. BODKIN sail, it was not fir him to suggest
anything in the matter. The case was in the hands
of the Court ; and it would be for the jury, as men of
business, to form their own conclusion as to the cha-
racter of the papers that had been produced.
The RECORDER said, the only legal effect of the
documents was to show that a certain amount divided
by 4 gave a particular result.
Mr. BODKIN then said he would not carry the case
any further.
The RECORDER then addressed the jury, and ex-
pressed an opinion that the charge of conspiracy had
not been made out ; and, under his Lordship's di-
rection,

The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Walter Watts, charged with embezzlement, was again
brought up yesterday befeore Alderman Gibbs on remand.
No evidence was gone into, and the prisoner was further
remanded until Tuesday next, the 16th of April.
GUILDHALL.

Godfrey Woone was placed at the bar before Alder-
man Salomans, charged with conspiring with Charles
Lockington and Samuel Grieves (who are now awaiting
their trial at the Old Bailey Sessions on the same
charge) to defraud Messrs. Uodgkinson and Co., of a
quantity of paper, value 1921., and Messrs. Figgins of a
quantity of type, value 501.
Henry Davis, clerk to Messrs. Hodgkinson, stated
that the prisoner assisted another man in taking away
the goods that had been obtained by Lockington from
his (witness's) employers. He saw au acceptance, paid
in part payment by Lockington, in prisoner's hand-
writing.
William Bowery proved that the prisoner had been in
the employ of Lockington as a lithographic draughts-
man, and that he was in the habit of calling three or
four times a week—sometimes for money, and sometimes
for employment.

Mr. Brier, pawnbroker, stated that the prisoner
pledged the type at his shop early in December, and
towards the end of the same month he redeemed it
again. He had known the prisoner about 12 months,
but did not know how he had conveyed the type to his
(Sayer's) premise•.
Further evidence was produced that proved the
prisoner's being constantly in company with Lockington
and others also implicated, but not in custody.
Mr. Parnell said, that if the Alderman would commit
the prisoner, in order that he might be tried with the
rest, he would not go into the other cases he had against
him.

Mr. Beard said he was agreeable to that proposition,
and that lie would reserve his defence for the trial.
The prisoner was then committed to take his trial at
the present sessions at the Old Bailey.
BOW-STREET.
Philip Dire, a clerk to Messrs. Dalrymple, Bircham,
and Drake, of 46, Parliament-street, solicitors, was
charged with stealinc, 81.
The prisoner had been intrusted with money to defray
certain charges for stamps, duties, &e., on account of
the firm, and among the items enumerated was a sum
of Si., which he r: presented that he had paid for the
certificate of Mr. Moberley, a solicitor, of Southampton.
This was in December last; and on Friday, the sth inst..,
Mr. Dalrymple, in con=equenca of information previ-
ously communicated to him, accused the prisoner of hav-
ing appropriated the 8/. to his own use-. Ho at once al--
mated the charge, and was given into custody.
It was stated that the prisoner's salary was 21. Bs. per
week.

The officer stated that on apprehending the prisoner
he cautioned him "in the usual way" to say nothing
which might prejudice him hereafter.
Air. HENRY told the officer that this was an ex-
cess of duty. Constables wore bound to hear all and say
nothing. It was the magistrate's duty to administer
such a caution bef,re the committal of a prisoner; but
constables were not to infer from this, as they generally
appeared to do, that it was a part of their functions also.
They should not encourage prisoners to make statements
to their own prejudice; Leither should they go out of
their way to check them.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

HULL, APRIL 9.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—During the
past ten days we have made rather extensive inquiries in dif-
ferent parts of the country, as to the stock of wheat held by
farmers at this season as compared with other years, and the
result is, that they hold fully their usual quantity; and in some
important districts even beyond it. The growing crops are
everywhere well spoken of. Arrivals, with the prevailing
winds, have somewhat increased during the past week, spring
corn, and especially beans and barley predominating; both
have been offered on low terms, but have gone off, generally
speaking, from ship, the low current rates having to some ex-
tent, attracted speculators. To-day we had a good supply of
wheat from our own farmers, with a somewhat better show of
foreign ; the demand being slow last week's rates were with
difficulty maintained, and that only for picked samples. In
some instances is less money was taken. In foreign we find
no quotable alteration, but demand continues slow. A good

tracting attention at present rates, but buyers will not exceed
them. Peas are quite neglected ; oats go off at our quota-
tions. Although we have no arrivals of linseed the market is
tat, and transactions on a small scale; cakes are saleable at
our currency. No rapeseed on the market; for rapo cakes
we have a fair sale at the late reduction. Bones support their
value.

FIRES IN CRIJRCHES.—The destruction of St.
Anne's Church, at Limehonse, by
fire, on Good Friday, sug-
gests a point or two for consideration, and ought to serve as
a warning and preventive. Examination, it appears, has
shown that the end of one of the girders supporting the
roof actually entered a flue, at the north-western corner of
the church, and it is unnecessary for us to say, if this be so,
the beam, too, being thoroughly dried by the continued
action of the fire, perhaps even decayed, that the cause of the
destruction of the church is tolerably obvious. The fires
which have been originated by timber being let into flues, ap-
parently too far from the fireplace to be dangerous, are not
to be counted. In a sixteenth century building, wherein
works are going on under our direction, we found last week
a piece of timber in the face of the chimney-breast, put in to
relieve the lintel over the opening of the fireplace, and form-
ing, in part, one side of the flue. It was black and charred,
and although it had led to no evil conequences during many
years, might next week have caused the destruction of the
building. In the case of Limehouse Church, if the statement
be correct, no blame attaches to the architect : the flue was
for ventilation, not for a furnace ; and the error was committed
by those who made the fire communicate with it, without
first taking proper precautions. The principal object we have
in view in noting this occurrence, is to induce a proper ex-
amination, by professional eyes, of the city churches
generally,with respect especially to the means used for warm-
ing them. Several of these churches are exposed to great
danger by the position of iron smokepiPes, introduced to the
great disfigurement of the building, and passing close to
time—to oiottoorlrce.molNy'ee
tl-Tpldosseixbhiloitry of danger, so far as it can bet the authorities to be wise in
foreseen, and insure the building. —Bui der.
GLASGOW, APRIL G.—COTTON.—The arrival of
the Canada this week bringing confirmation of the accounts
of a short crop has infused some spirit into the market, and a
considerable amount of business has ben done, both by the
trade and on speculation, at an advance of from d. to id.
per lb. The price of the raw material now bears such a
large proportion to the finiAied article that manufacturers
are working principally to order, and look forward ere long
to an abridgment in production. A moderate business has
been done this week in goods and yarns, and stocks continue
light. Pig Iron.—There has been scarcely any business
doing in our market for pig iron during the week, and prices
have continued almost without change. The price of mixed
numbers may to-day be quoted 435. 6d. ; buyers at 435.,
with nothing doing. Bars may be quoted from 51. 10s. to,
5/, 128. 6d.
