THE GREAT TUNNEL OF THE
ALPS.
To complete a direct line of railroad communica-
tion between Boulogne and Venice and Ancona, and
consequently, between London and the Adriatic, one
only obstacle lies in the way. The chain of Mont
Cenis and Mont Genevre, running nearly north-east
and south-west, would cross such a line, and present,
with their elevation of 11,000 feet, an insur-
mountable bar to tiny direct and continous railway.
From London, as far as Chambery, by the Lyons
railroad, all is smooth enough ; nay, that rail can and
will, and indeed is now about to, push further, as-
cending to Mont Meilland, and St. Maurienne (names
well known to old post travellers who directed their
steps alcng the valley of the Arc, towards Lansle-
bourg), and by an ulterior effort, it will yet reach
higher, as far as Modane, at the foot of the northern
crest of the Graian and Cottian Alps. But once
there all further progress is arrested, and no train can
hope to reach the Italian side to Susa and Turin, and
thence to the eastern coasts of the peninsula, unless a
subterranean wayfare be pierced throw the snow-
capped barrier.
What a magnificent problem is here presented to
the inventive genius of the age ! What splendid re-
sults to be attained by its successful solution ! Such
a problem has been actually under the consideration
of the Sardinian Government since August, 1845. Its
solution is no longer a matter of doubt. The possi-
bility of boring through the heart of Mont Genevre,
and of linking Caarobery with Susa, north and south
of that range, is a demonstrated truth. The great
tunnel of the Alps is about to become a reality, under
the auspices of Victor Emmanuel and the Piedmontese
Parliament.

" 2. No foreigners of any description coming to
this island as passengers on board of any vessel, will
be allowed to remain, unless they can procure suffi-
cient security here for their good behaviour and for
their not becoming a burden upon this Government ;
such security to be given by the consul of the nation
to which they may belong, or by some respectable
housekeeper resident in the island, or by the master
of the vessel in which they came, provided they mean
to return on board the same vessel when she leaves
the port.
"3. This security must be in a form prescribed by
Government, and be deposited in the office of the In-
spector-General of Police.
"4. Any master of a vessel who may bring passen-
gers of the abdve description, and land them, or allow
of their being landed, without submitting to the above-
mentioned conditions, will be obliged to take them
back in his own vessel, or to send them back at his
own expense, besides paying for their maintenance
until an opportunity offers for so doing.
" 5. All masters of foreign vessels will be further
liable for any foreign seamen), or marinari di rinforza,
on board of their ships, and if any such foreigners
shall be landed in this island and left behind, without
being able to give sufficient security for their good
conduct, &c., they will be detained until an opportu-
nity offers of sending them off the island, at the ex-
pense of such master of the vessel; and all masters of
Maltese or English vessels will also be liable in the
same manner for such foreign seamen, or nzarinari di
rinforza, beyond the complement allowed by law, who
may be on their vessels.
"6. Any person who shall give security for any
foreigners, as above alluded to, will be subject, in the
event of such foreigners having no honest means of
livelihood, and becoming a charge upon Government,
to defray the expense of maintaining the said persons
until an opportunity offers of sending them hack to
their own country, as well as the expense of their
passage, and any arrears of police dues they may owe
to Government.
" 7. Any inn or tavern-keeper, or other person
whatsoever, receiving into their houses foreigners not
being provided with a regular permit from the police,
will be liable to the same penalties and charges as
are mentioned in the last paragraph.
"8. These regulations will only be acted upon with
reference to foreigners who may hereafter arrive in
this island; but with regard to those at present here,
should complaint be made against any of them, they
will be instantly called upon for such securities as
above-mentioned ; and unless they can procure the
same, they will be forthwith sent out of the island.
" 9. The Inspector-General shall take care that all
foreigners permitted to reside here submit to the ex-
isting laws and regulations concerning them, and
shall cause them to pay the duties established by Go-
vernment.

who may have served his Majesty faithfully, either in
the navy or army, for a certain period, to be settled
by Government; pensioners from the army and navy,
friars, individuals under the age of twenty-one years,
forming a family whose head,pays, or is duly ex-
empted from payment, and negroes who have been
baptized, will be exempt from police dues, and will be
furnished with a certificate to that effect.
" 11. No f3reigner will be called upon to pay the
police dues for residence, unless his stay within the
island should exceed two months.
" By command of his Honour the Lieutenant-Go-
vernor.

The author of this gigantic scheme is the Chevalier
Henry Maus, Honorary Inspector of the Genie Civil,
the same who devised and executed the great works
on the Liege Railroad. After five years of incessant
study of this question, and many practical experi-
ments and calculations, including the invention of
new machinery for boring the mountain, this officer
made his final report to the Government on the Bth
of February, 1849.

A commission was thereupon named on the 13th
of July, 1849, consisting of several distinguished en-
gineers, artillery officers, senators, members of the
Government, and a professor of geology, to examine
and give their opinion on the nature and feasibility of
Chevalier Maus project. That commission, on the
Ist of November last, being then under the presi-
dency of the Minister of Public Works, the Cheva-
lier Paleocapa, decided unanimously and entirely in
favour of the project. Their report, together with
that of Chevalier Maus, has recently been printed for
private distribution, by order of the Sardinian Go-
vernment, illustrated by maps and plans, and all the
various calculations, not only of expense, but of the
mechanical difficulties also, which this great and
striking project presents.
An application for a part of the funds required to
begin the great tunnel will be made to the Chambers
forthwith, and the work, which it is expected will
occupy five years, will cost 14,000,000 f. ; while the
entire railroad of the Alps, connecting the tunnel
with the Chambery railway on the one side and with
that of Susa on the other side (in length together
36,565 metres, or 201 English miles), will cost
21,000,000 f. more, forming a total expense of
35,000,000 f.
The great tunnel itself will measure 12,290 metres,
of nearly seven English miles in length ; its greatest
height will be 19 feet, and its width 25, admitting, of
course, of a tlouble line of rail. Its northern entrance
is to be at Modane, and the southern entrance at
Bardonneche, on the river Mardovine. This latter
entrance, being the highest point of the intended line
of rail, will be 4,092 feet above the level of the sea,
and yet 2,400 feet below the highest or culminating
point of the great road, or pass, over the Mont Ce-
nis. It is intended to divide the connecting lines of
rail leading to either entrance of the tunnel into eight
inclined planes of about 5,000 metres, or 21 English
miles each, worked like those at Liege, by endless
cables and stationary engines, but in the present case
moved by water power derived from the torrents.
The most remarkable part of the project, however,
is the newly devised machinery and motive power by
which the Chevalier Maus proposes to bore the great
tunnel. It is as ingenious as it is new, presenting some
extraordinary facts in mechanics which could hardly
have been anticipated, but the truth of which has been
tested and verified by practical essays made with
working models of the natural size before the Govern

These deserters were subsequently shipped to Al-
giers, at the request of the Neapolitan Government.
On the 15th of July, the French steamer Lycurge
arrived from Civita -v'ecchia, with 124 persons on board ;
and on the 16th a Greek vessel arrived with 53 more.
As none of the consuls could give the usual guarantees,
the men were not allowed to land. In a dispatch,
dated 20th September, Earl Grey entirely approves
of the line of conduct pursued by the Governor of
Malta. After remaining eight days in port, the
Lycurge sailed. It was this refusal to allow the
passengers on board the Lycurge to land which led
to a protest on their part, and on the part of the cap-
tain of the Lycurge. The same conduct was observed
towards subsequent arrivals.
On the 25th September, her Majesty's steam-
packet Antelope arrived from the lonian Islands,
having on board M. Manin and General Pepe, with
their respective suites. Having passports from the
lonian Government, they were all allowed to land
under guarantee, with the understanding that they
were to take their departure at the earliest opportunity.
M. Manin and party sailed on 2d October, on board
the French Government steamer Nile, for Marseilles ;
and General Pepe and suit also sailed on the same
day, on board the French Government steamer
Leonidas, for Italy and Marseilles.
No. 19 is a letter addressed by Mr. More O'Fer-
rall to Earl Grey, in consequence of the statements.
made by Members of Parliament and the public
press, charging him with inhumanity towards
the political refugeee. After quoting the facts given
briefly above, Mr. More O'Ferrall denies the accu-
racy of the statements made, refers to his official
dispatches, and shields himself behind the approba-
tion of her Majesty's Government. On the 12th
December, Earl Grey wrote to signify his full ap-
proval'of the measures adopted by the Governor of
Malta, and notifying that the correspondence respect-
ing the refugees, would be Lid before Parliament.
The following dispatch from Earl Grey to Mr.
More O'Ferral, bearing date 25th February, 1850, is
important, as containing the latest regulations with
respect to the admittance of foreigners into Malta :
"9. While, on the one hand, her Majesty's Govern-
ment are anxious not to refuse hospitality in Malta to
foreigners who are in diffi-zulties, on the other, it is
their duty to take care that the interests of that
island itself are not injured, and that no just cause of
offence is given to friendly powers by its being allowed
to become a place from whence plots may be carried
on against the existing Government of any state in
amity with Great Britain.
"3. In furtherance of these views I have to instruct
you not to prevent the landing in Malta of persons
who may take refuge there from political troubles in
any of the countries bordering on the Mediterranean,

ment commission already mentioned. But these and
the consideration of the immense results, social, com-
mercial, and political, that may be expected to flow
from such a gigantic undertaking, in comparison
with which the Thames Tunnel and the Britannia-
bridge become secondary objects, may form the sub-
ject of another.article.— Times.

THE REFUGEES AT MALTA.
A Blue-hook, containing copies and extracts of
dispatches between the Governor of Malta and the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, relating to
the admission of foreigners into Malta, has been
printed by order of the House of Commons.
On the 13th of March, 1848, Lord Napier ad-
dressed a dispatch to the Right Honourable
R. More O'Ferrall, Governor of Malta, informing
him that the Neapolitan Government had consented
to the expulsion of the Jesuits from Naples (under
the pretext of a voluntary departure), and that Malta
had been selected in the hope that they would find
" that asylum which is never denied by her Majesty's
Government to any class or colour of political re-
fugees." _ _

The precepts of humanity contained in the dis-
patch were acknowledged by the Governor. On the
Bth June following, the French steamer Pluton ar-
rived at Malta from Naples with eight refugees on
board, who took a prominent part in the insurrectint
of
th e
loth May (1848). The French admiral ha&
taken them on board from motives of humanity,
but refused to land them in Sicily or Calabria,
as they wished, from respect to the principle
of strict neutrality in the internal dissen•
sions of a friendly power. After some demur,
they were allowed to land, but (on the same prin-
ciple of neutrality) passports to Sicily were re-
fused to them. This was the first batch of refugees ;
others speedily followed. On the 16th of May (1849)
238 persons, chiefly deserters, arrived at Malta on
board the Archimede and Peloro steamers. These
did not come under the existing laws regulating the
admission of foreigners, the more especially as the
Archimede was a Neapolitan vessel of war which
escorted the deserters (virtually prisoners) with the
humane purpose of saving their lives by landing them
at Malta. This led to a correspondence with the
Neapolitanb Government,
ni a portion of the deserters
eing nthe Lazaretto, the others to
remain on board the Peloro until further notice. A
allowed to lad
statement of the whole affair was forwarded to Earl
Grey, under date of May 17 ; Mr. More O'Ferrall at
the same time addressed a dispatch to Prince Satriano
as follows :

provided such persons are in a situation to comply
with the law of the island, which requires that before

strangers are allowed to land, they shall give security
against becoming a burden upon its resources from
their inability to maintain themselves.
" 4. The limited size and resources of Malta ren-
der it absolutely necessary that this should be en-

forced, since.th-e community might otherwise be ex-
posed to the endurance of a burden which it could
not bear without great inconvenience; but while
this law ought to be enforced as a general
rule, I should approve of your giving permission to
foreigners to land, even though they should not be
able to find the required security, in cases in which
you may be satisfied that either from the state of
their health, or from other special circumstances, the
indulgence is called for by motives of humanity.
"5. I concur with you likewise, as to the danger
and inconvenience of allowing large numbers of
strangers to be assembled within the fortifications of
Valletta, or even to reside in their immediate neigh-
bourhood. I have therefore to instruct you on this
head, that when foreigners arrive in large bodies,
they should only be allowed to land on condition or
taking up their residence in such place as you may
point out to them, at a distance from the fortifications.
They should be assured, that if they violate this con-
dition, they will be immediately required to leave the
island.

" Your Excellency must be aware that so large a
number of persons, placed in their circumstances,
cannot obtain a residence or maintenance in this
island ; their temporary admission is intended by me
as a mark of respect to your Excellency, and to afford
time for an appeal to your Excellency's generosity, in
the hope that you will extend the amnesty so gene-
rously granted to the Sicilians, to the misguided men
who arrived in the Peloro, and enable me to send
them to their country under the guarantee of your
Excellency."
In reply to Mr. More O'Ferrall's dispatch of the
17th May, Earl Grey replied as follows on the 18th
June :

"6. Lastly, with respect to avoiding the offence
which would arise to foreign powers from permitting
plots against their governments to be carried on from
Malta; you have given good reason for supposing
that a want of attention to this particular naturally
leads to great injury to the commercial interests of
the island. But independently of this consideration,
such neglect would be inconsistent with what is due to
friendly states. I have therefore to instruct you on this
head to exercise the power vested in you by the
Order in Council of Ist February, 1843, in order to
the removal from the island of every foreigner who
shall be proved to have abused its hospitality by avail-
ing himself of his residence there to carry on corre-
spondence with persons inhabiting any of the coun-
tries bordering on the Mediterranean, with a view to
the overthrow or disturbance of their existing go-
vernments, whatever those governments may be."

" Downing-street, June 18, 1849.
" Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your
dispatches reporting the arrival at Malta of a number
of Neapolitan deserters from the Neapolitan army, in
a steamer under Neapolitan colours, escorted by a
Neapolitan steamer of war ; and I have to acquaint
you that her Majesty's Government entirely approve
of your proceedings in regard to those individuals.
" Upon the general question to which you have
called my attention in your separate communication
of the 2d instant, as to the impropriety of allowing
Malta to become the refuge of the outcasts of ail ad•
joining countries, I have to acquaint you that her
Majesty's Government are very sensible of the incon-
venience and danger of allowing persons of that
description to congregate in Malta, and that we shall
be prepared to support you in enforcing any suitable
measures which you may think it necessary to adopt,
either with the view of restricting the number of
such persons to be admitted into the island, such as
aged men, women, and children, or of removing those
persons who may have been already admitted.
" As a general rule, the existing regulation to re-
fuse admission to those persons who cannot show that
they are able to maintain themselves, should admit
of no exception which cannot be justified by the par-
ticular circumstances of the case. But there cannot
be a doubt that every person, or number of persons,
whose presence you may deem inconsistent with the
maintenance of public tranquillity, or the safety of
the island, should be forthwith removed under the
exercise of the powers which are for that purpose
especially vested in the Governor of Malta."
The existing regulations for the admission of fo-
reigners into Malta alluded to by Earl Grey as fol-
lows :

IMPROVIDENCE OF OPERATIVES.—A correspondent
of the Builder says—Too many, it is to be feared, though
they may not spend their days at the public-house and gin-
shop, yet devote their evenings to these places, sacrificing, by
this means, not only a large amount of their hard earnings,
but their health, the comfort and happiness of their depen-
dents in many instances—throw away at the same time both
the opportunity and the means of self•culture—erect a com-
plete barrier to their own advancement—and themselves and
families have, as their only reward, the humiliating reflection
that they are sinking into poverty, neglect, and disgrace,
whilst those with whom they once had equal prospects, but
who have devoted to self-improvement what the former have
sacrificed to Bacchus, are sustaining respectable positions—
positions from which they themselves have been effectually,
exeluded by having preferred sensual and temporary gratifi-
cation to the more lasting blessings of industry, temperance,
and frugality. Could our artisans be induced to cast off en-
tirely the fetters which a love of drink binds about them, we
should soon be surrounded by a class of men characterised by
intelligence, industry, and skill, and that which is now a
lamentable truth, would no longer be so—that " Monday is a
bad day for many, though a good one for the publicans."
RIVER RIDDLE.—PORT OF PRESTON.—Captain
Williams, RN., has arrived at Lytham, with an assistant
officer, for the purpose of making a new survey, by
orders from the Admiralty, of the River Ribble, with the
adjacent coasts and banks, to the northward of Formby.
This work is rendered necessary by the changes which
have taken plack since the survey by Captain (now Sir
Edward) Belcher, in 1836, and will lead to the publication
of more accurate charts and sailing directions. The ac-
tual state of the river will now be made known to the pub-
lic from indisputable authority, together with the capabi-
lities of further improvement in its navigation.—Manchester

" INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENCE OF FO-

BEIGNERS IN TIIE ISLAND or MALTA.
"I. All matters relating to the regulation of fo-
reigners while resident in this island rest with the
executive police, and, previously to their being landed,
with the marine police, under the immediate control
of Government.

" 11. The following rules on this head are to be
observed in future :

" 1. All foreigners, on landing in this island, must
immediately report themselves to the Intendant of
Marine Police or his assistant, who will register their
names and forward them on to the office of the In.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1850.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
lIIARYLEBOLVE.
Police-constables Bayfield and Anthony, of the D
division, were charged on remand with having extorted
2s. from William Rlyne, a cab-proprietor and driver,
residing at No. 41, Caroline-place, Rayswater, under
a threat of charging him (as entered upon the sheet)
with wishing to commit an unnatural offence with a
person who was in his company.
Mr. Bradley attended as bet ore for the prosecution,
and Mr. Herring for the prisoners.
Numerous witnesses pro and con. were examined,
and the inquiry lasted nearly two hours.
The truth of the serious allegation made by the
prosecutor was denied in the most positive manner;
and it was stated that both the prisoners had ever
since they had been in the force conducted themselves
remarkably well.
Yesterday additional witnesses were brought for-
ware, and in the course of a long investigation it
was shown that the prosecutor had, at different times
and to different persons, made satements, some of
which varied most materially from others which he
had put forth in reference to the transaction.
Mr. BROUGIITON ordered a further remand till
Tuesday next.

SOUTH WA RK.
Louisa Susan Hartley, a young worn an,was brought
before Mr. A'Beckstt upon the charge of having ad-
ministered a quantity of arsenic to her father, fur
the purpose of poisoning him.
Joseph William Hartley deposed as follows am
a fellowship porter, and occupy apartments at the
Hope, in Gravel-lane, and the prisoner, who is my
daughter, has acted as my house keeper ever since the
decease of her mother, six years ago. Between eight
and nine o'clock that morning I returned home to my
breakfast, and sat down at the table with the prisoner,
who had previously poured out the coffee. I took up
my cup, and on taking a mouthful I found it had a
very strange taste, and remarked the circumstance to
her by saying, " Louisa, what have you been doing
to my coffee ?" The reply she made to the observa-
tion was, "I have done nothing to it, father." By
this time, however, I was convinced that something
of a highly deleterious nature had been mixed up in
the coffee, as I found on retaining it a short time
in my mouth that it burnt my tongue and lips. Upon
this discovery I again addressed myself to the pri-
soner, who sat opposite to me sipping her coffee, and
said, "Louisa, lam now more confident than ever
that you have put poison into my cup, and I believe
it to be either arsenic or oxalic acid." She again
asseverated that she was totally innocent of such an
act, exclaiming that if there was anything in the
coffee it might be a little soda, which she might by
accident have dropped in while preparing it. I
doubted her assertion and said, "Then I shall taste
your coffee, to ascertain whether it is like that which
you have given me." I then took up the cup out of
which she was taking her coffee, and having tasted it
found that it was quite different in flavour to mine,
and caused none of the unpleasant sensations in the
mouth which I have described. I then told her that
the coffee she had was not like mine, and added that I
should save the contents of eny. • cup, to ascertain
what deleterious ingredient had been mixed up with
the coffee. I then took my cup off the table,
and was about to take it away to another part of
the room, when the prisoner 'made a sudden snatch
at it, and got it away from me, and running towards
a washhand- basin in which I had a short time previ-
ously washed my hands, dashed the contents of the
cup into it, and afterwards rinsed the cup out, ex-
claiming that as I did not approve of the coffee she
had made she should prepare another cup for me.
I told her that I should not have any more, and im-
mediately took possession of the basin into which she
had emptied the cup, saying that I was determined
to ascertain the ingredients mixed with the coffee, so
satisfied was I that they were of a highly poisonous
description. She began to cry, and again repeated
that she had done nothing to the coffee, but her tears and
protestations of innocence did not prevent me from
proceeding forthwith to Guy's Hospital with the
view of having the contents of the basin analysed.
On my arrival at the institution I had an interview
with one of the medical officers of the establishment ;
and having described the circumstances that had oc-
curred at my breakfast that morning, and exhibited
the contents of the basin to him, he submitted them
to an immediate test by dipping a piece of blue
paper into the liquid, and on withdrawing the same
it became of a deep pink colour, showing that a
considerable portion of arsenic was mixed up with
it. The complainant added, there must have been
at least half a pint of water in the basin before the
prisoner snatched the cup out of his hand and threw
the contents in amongst it ; therefore what was pre-
viously in the cup must necessarily have been of a
more powerful description than that which was left in
the basin.
Mr. A'BECKETT inquired of the complainant
whether ho had bad any quarrel or words with the
prisoner to account for the alleged attempt on his life.
Complainant—None whatever ; but of late she has
not conducted herself properly. She has, without
my authority or permission, pledged several articles
of my dress when I have been from home, although
she was in no want of money. I have constantly ex-
pressed my disapprobation of such conduct to her, but
whether this caused her to act in the manner I have
described I cannot tell.
Mr. A'BECKETT asked if the prisoner had ever
exhibited any symptoms of derangement of mind ?
The complainant, in reply, said that she certainly had
evinced a very different temper and disposition to the
rest of the family, and that he really believed her
mind was affected.
Mr. A'BECKETT (addressing the prisoner) said you
have heard the statement made by your father. Do
you wish to say anything, or to give any explanation
to account for the difference of the flavour of the
coffee you provided for his breakfast and that which
you had Toe prisoner, who stood sobbing at the
bar during the examination, shook her head, and said
that she had nothing to say.
Mr. A'BECKETT said, that, before he should pro-
ceed any further in the investigation of so serious a
charge, it would be necessary to have the testimony
of the medical gentleman who analysed the contents
of the basin ; and fur that purpose he should remand
the prisoner for further examination.
Yesterday the prisoner was brought up before Mr.
A'Beckett for re-examination, when Policeman
Ryan, 476 M, produced a note from Mr. Taylor,
Professor of Chemistry at Guy's Hospital, to whom
the contents of the basin had been sent, into which
the prisoner threw the cup of coffee when her father
discovered that something of a deleterious nature was
mixed up in it. The note stated that the mixture in
question had been submitted to the test of analyaition
but that the process would necessarily require some
days before it was completed.
Under these circumstances, Mr. A'BECKETT said
that a further remand must take place, and he in-
quired if any further evidence tending to criminate
the prisoner in the alleged charge of attempting to
administer poison to her father was likely to be
brought forward.

Policeman Ryan said that subsequently to the ex-
amination that took place at that court on the previ-
ous day he had instituted a searching examination of
the apartments occupied by the complainant and his
daughter, for the purpose of discovering whether he
could find any ingredient of a poisonous description
therein. He, however, failed in finding any, but in
the course of his inquiries he had an interview with a
young woman who was well acquainted with the pri-
soner, and he had derived information from her which
was of an important description.
Mr. A'BECKETT said that he shouldjgrant a sum-
mons to compel the attendance of the witness, and that
in the meantime he should remand the prisoner for a
week.

In the course of the day Maynard, one of the
turnkeys of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, brought up
George Spell, Hugh Conway, James Maxwell Bry-
son, James Scouton, and Samuel Morgan, five men
who, with others, were convicted at the September
assizes, 1848, at the Central Criminal Court, of being
engaged in the Chartist riots that occurred at that
period.
The prisoners abovenamed were sentenced to two
years' imprisonment each in the above gaol, besides
the infliction of heavy fines; but, in consequence of
representations in their behalf, their sentences have
been commuted, and a communication was addressed

to Mr. Keene, the governor of the county gaol, di-
recting the discharge of the prisoners on their pro-
curing bail to keep the peace for five years each. It
was for this purpose the accused persons were brought
to this court, and, the requisite sureties having been
entered into, they were accordingly set at liberty.
