of Madame LACOSTE, charged with the murder of
her husband, as well as the man who had been in-
I dieted as an accomplice.

The following are additional extracts from the
papers :

The Mimiteur publishes a table of receipts of indirect taxes
for the first half-year of 1844, as compared with the corre-
sponding period of the two preceding years. It shows an
increase of 7,752,000 f. over 1843, and of 14,077,000 f. over 1842.
Malta letters of the sth inst., received by the Levant
mail, give some detail's of the landing of the Italian refugees
in Calabria. Some of them appear from these to have joined
the Calabrian bands, and at Malta hopes were entertained
that among them were all the leaders of the enterprise, with
the exception of Moro, who was known to be mortally
Wounded. _ .

We read in a letter from Venice of the 7th inst. :—" The
Neapolitan Government has made a communication to that
of Vienna relative to the Austrian subjects made prisoners in
Calabria. It is believed that the Austrian Government will
not demand their extradition, in order to be spared a process
for desertion and treason against the sons of a distinguished
and meritorious officer."
Letters from Athens of the 30th ult. inform us that tran-
quillity had been re-established. A warrant had been issued
for the arrest of Germano Mavromichali, accused of being the
exciter of the disturbances on the 23d, which cost the lives of
several persons. General Tzavellas—since exiled to Svra—
has tendered the resignation of his appointment as Aide de-
Camp to the King, in dissatisfaction at the breach of faith
whiCh the Ministry wished to commit towards General Grivas,
but which M. Piscatory prevented by taking him under the
protection of the French flag. The President of the Council
persisting in not recognising the compromise between Ge-
nerals Tzavellas and Grivas, announced that he should pro.
ceed to obtain judgment by default against Grivas, who
thereupon retired to Smyrna.
The King of Naples arrived at Messina on the 20th ult.,
and soon afterwards left for Catania, on his way to
Girgenti, Trapani, and Palermo.
Prince Metternich left Vienna on the Bth, for the Baths of
Ischia.

We learn from Dresden, July 9, that although appa:ent
tranquillity has been restored at Prague, there is great agi-
tation still among the labouring classes in other parts of Bo-
hemia. At Reuschenberg the Weavers have destroyed all
the machinery and several factories.

THE LATE THOMAS HUDSON.—We are glad to learn
that; under the patronage of the Lord Mayor, a Com-
mittee has been formed to get up a concert for the
benefit of the widow and children of the late Mr.
Thomas Hudson, the celebrated comic writer and vo-
calist. It will take place towards the end of the
month at the Princess's Theatre. Some of the first-
rate English performers have offered their services
gratuitously, and their example has been followed by
several of the most eminent foreign singers. From
all accounts, it will be one of the most attractive con-
certs of the season, and afford seasonable relief to the
family of the deceased.

again yesterday, the supply being abundant and prices
drooped; sales about 4,000 bags, including 500 for exporta-
tion.—Shares were on the whole firm, with a fair inquiry.

From almost all parts of the country where recently wool
fairs have been held, the results have been most satisfactory-.
In some instances the improvement is asserted to have been
from 7* to 10, and in a few instances 15 per cent. The sales
of colonial wools that are at present in progress at the Hall
of Commerce, have not commenced so satisfactory as was
anticipated by many; but the fact is, that the quanti-
ties announced for sale are so large, that purchases are
made with much caution. Still the requirements of the manu-
facturers are said to be heavy and urgent, as the demand for
woollen manufactures is on the increase. As to the cotton
trade, it is not surprising that for the raw interest the mar-
ket should be heavy, the stocks on hand at Liverpool being
unprecedently large; and it ought not to be forgotten that
the supplies from the East Indies and Egypt are expected
to be very large indeed. The indigo trade is not so
brisk as was anticipated it would be, hence the slow progress
made at the public sales now in course of progress. An ad-
vertisement appeared in this day's Sun, announcing a further
public sale of West India Pine Apples brought over in high
perfection. This is a branch of trade that appears likely to
be cultivated to an immense extent. Fine pines that would
fetch, if hot-house grown here, from 20s. to %ss. each, have
realised at the late sale from 4s. 6d. to ss. 2d. each. A point
vet to be obtained is the arrival of pines from the West In-
dies with thellfoilage in a higher state of greenness than is
the case at present.
There are accounts from Van Diemen's Land this morning
to the 14th March. It is stated that information had reached
there of great injury having been done to the crops in Port
Phillip. The account-sales of a load of wheat ship-
ped from Launceston to England, had been made public
through the medium of the papers, and it seems
that upon an average Bs. per bushel was remitted back,
partly in bills and partly in goods. The result had much
pleased the shippers and the agriculturists of the colony.
Further consignments are now in progress to the mother
country. There is not any political news from Tasmania by
the present arrivals.
The Government brokers took 20,0001. Consols at
991, being an improvement of 1 per cent. upon
the lowest values of yesterday. Consols for the Account
have not been quoted quite so high, 991 having been
the point gained this morning. The amount of business that
has been entered into is considerable. The Unfunded Debt is
about the same as yesterday. The Reduced Three per Cents.
are per cent. above par; the Three-and-a-Halt per Cents.
Reduced at 1011 to 102 ; Bank Stock at 200; and India Bonds
at 965. premium.
In the Foreign Funds the fluctuations have been slight
this morning. The French Rentes have been sold at 122 ;
Spanish Consols at 23 ; the Three per Cents. at 334 1 ;
Russian at 119; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011 ;
and Columbian ex Venezuelan at 131 and 1.
The prices of Railway Shares have not varied much. Bir•
mingham and Gloucester have at last reached par, having
just been transferred at 100. Brighton are better also, viz.,
at 2 discount. There are no fresh quotations for Banking
Shares.
