ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 19th contradicts the
news of the departure of General Cordova from Rome,
and adds that the remaining Spanish troops are not
to embark for their country. Mopes were entertained,
according to this account, that a Catholic army
would soon be organized for the security of the Pon-
tifical States, and thus allow the Supreme Pontiff to
return to his capital.
Letters from Turin, of the 27th ult., state that the
Chamber of Deputies granted, on the preceding day,
by a majority of 113 to 31, the authorisation to issue
sufficient Government Stock to produce 4,000,000
annually. On the same day the Minister of the In-
terior presented to the Assembly a Bill on postal
reform

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

CHIEF BAnoN and a Conn-ion Jury.)
DE MINORSKI F. GLASS.

This was an undefended action, brought by the plaintiff, a
Pole, resident in London, to recover •compensation in da-
mages from the defendant for having given him into custody
on a false charge of forgery. The plaintitl; it appeared, put a
distress upon the furniture and goods of the defendant, who
was a lodger in his house, for arrears cf rent, and the charge
made against him was simply for having signed the name of
Bennet to the warrant upon which the distress was made in-
stead of his real name, Do Mikorski, the reason fJr his as-
suming the cognomen of Bennet being, it was stated, to
avoid the discovery or detection of some Russian spies who
were supposed to be in London, • but on the plaintiff being
taken to the station-house the inspector on duty refused to
enter the charge, and he was consequently discharged.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 101.

110X/FERMAN V. BELL.
This was an action to recover damages for the false impri-
sonment of the plaintiff by the defendant.
Mr. Prentice was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser-
geant Wilkins represented the defendant.
The plaintiff is a porter in Covent-garden Market, living
at 3, Vere-street, Covent-garden, and the defendant is a
fruiterer in the same market, and living at 26, James-street,
Covent-garden. It appeared that on the 30th of August
lsat, the plaintiff was taken to the Bow-street policestation,
and given in custody there by Richard Moore, the beadle
of Covent-garden Market and the defendant, on a charge of
stealing 112 lbs. weight of potatoes in Southampton-street, the
property of the defendant. After having been confined at
the police-station for about a quarter of an hour, the plaintiff
was taken before Mr. Hall, the police magistrate at Bow-
street, by whom he was acquitted of the charge which the
defendant kad attempted to establish against him. It was
under these circumstances that the plaintiff now brought his
action for false imprisonment.
Witnesses were called on behalf of the defendant.
From the evidence of a man named Joseph Williams, who
was employed by some of the greengrocers in Covent-gar-
den Market, to watch their carts, it appeared he had seen
two sieves of potatoes; that he had inquired of several parties
in the market to know to whom they belonged, but could
not ascertain that they,belonged to any enc... The plaintiff
subsequently shot the two sieves of potatoes into a basket,
which the witness Williams helped him to put on his head,
and he took them away. When the plaintiff was given
into custody, lie denied that it was on the 25th of August,
that he had shot the two sieves of potatoes into his basket,
but subsequently admitted the fact.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff on the first
issue, which was whether or not the defendant gave the
plaintiff into custody;- and for the defendant on the second
and third issues, which were whether or not the plaintiff stole
the two sieves of potatoes, and whether or not the defendant
had reasonable cause to suspect him of the felony.
This was substantially a verdict for the defendant.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—A copy of 7/se Sun newspaper, containing her
Majesty's Speech, was received here this evening at six
o'clock; it was immediately read in one of the largest
rooms in the town, and gave the greatest pleasure and
satihfsction to all present.—Your obedient fervour,
Portsmouth, Thursday evening. WM. GRAY.

ARRIVAL OF THE QUIEN'S SPEECH IN DERBY.—
We obtained an early copy of the Queen's Speech by electric
telegraph, but owing to the hurry necessarily attendant on
the translation, several awkward errors occurred, especially
one in the last paragraph. In the telegraphic dispatch the
word " wan ton" convulsions appeared for " wars and convul-
sions;" and in one passage " Ergland" was miswritten for
" Ireland." We were, however, enabled by the kindness of
Murdo Young, Esq., to correct these and other errors before
many hundred copies were struck off. An express edition of
The San arrived at our office in the evening, and we beg to
tender our thanks to the spirited proprietor of The Sun for
his proverbial courtesy, energy, and zeal. A party of sixty
Frec-traders were dining at the Royal Hotel in celebration of
Free trade—a noble baron of beef having been provided for
the occasion—when the Speech arrived. We lost no limo in
conveying a copy to the dining-room, where the Speech was
read. The passages in reference to free trade, the repeal of
tire navigation-laws, and the concluding sen'ences were vo-
ciferously cheered, especially the former. " The Proprietors
and Editor of the herby Reporter" having been drunk,
" Murdo Young, Esq., arid the Free Press of Great Britain"
was drunk with all the honours. —Derbll Reporter.
