ITALY.

Accounts from Rome state that a large crowd had
assembled round the hotel of the Count de Manta-
lambert for the purpose of giving the worthy
Jesuit a charivari, but the Papal Sbirri
interfered to prevent it, and now all
the approaches to the Hotel Cesari are
rigorously guarded, and those who approach too near
the place of refuge of the pious chronicler of the
miracles of the winking Virgin of Rimini, are
arrested.

The grave of Eugene Quaglierni, one of the vic-
tims of clerical vengeance, who refused to confess to
the priest before he was shot, is every evening
covered with fresh flowers, to the great horror of the
priests, wbo have, as usual, caused several persons to
be arrested.

Signior Rossi was, when the French army entered
Rome, appointed interpreter to the French staff. In
this capacity it became his duty to accompany a
French major to a monastery, where he had
determined to quarter his troops, as they were in
want of shelter. The monks vowed vengeance, and
on the return of the Pope and Cardinals Rossi was
served with an order of exile. The French'council
of war took the matter up; the staff inte-
rested themselves in his behalf all was,
however, in vain, he was forced to quit Rome,
and the utmost that General Gemeau was able
to do for him was to give him a free passage to Mar-
seilles in a French steamer. The number of persons
exiled from Rome, since the return of the Pope, is
36,000.

The Armonia, the clerical journal of Turin, speaks
of the charivari intended for M. de Montalambert, at
Rome.

AERONAUTICS IN AMERICA.
ASCENSION OF CAPTAIN JOHN TAGGART'S
FLYING MACHINE.
(From the New York Herald of Oct. 31, 1850.)
The announcement that a flying machine would go
up from the Thatched Cottage Garden, in Jersey
city, yesterday afternoon, drew several thusani per-
sons to that place to witness the exhibition of the
wonderful invention. The strip of land lying between
the Morris Canal and the bay was the spot fixed upon
by the proprietor of the machine to test its
capacity, and three o'clock was the hour fixed
upon for its ascension. Innumerable casks
of acids for the generation of the gas were
prepared, and the inflation went on finely,
while the thousands of curious visitors inspected the
machine which was expected to fly. The car was of
the shape of a fiat boat, and had two arms like those of
a windmill, to be used as a propelling power, and a
long rudder, made of cotton goods, with which to
direct its course through the air. Three o'clock came,
but the balloon was not ready, and the people grew
impatient. Pretty soon, however, the inflation was
stopped, and the car brought forward. Some diffi-
culty here occurred, and it became necessary again
to put on the gas to give the balloon more power.
About four o'clock, all things being ready, the pro-
wit tor took his seat in the car, and one universal shout
tent the air as he severed the rope which bound the

balloon to the earth. The greatest possible curiosity
was now manifested, and the balloon waved to north-
ward with the wind. It rose beautifully for a few
feet, and gently descended into the Morris canal,
immersing the projector to his waist. As soon as
this was done the people yelled, and a cannon on hand
for the purpcss was fired, the gunner think-
ing that everything was right. A boat was
at once dispatched, and the man and car taken
to the north side of the canal, when two ropes y ere
made fast to the balloon for the purpose of taking it
to the place of starting, to try it again. When
about half way across the canal, one of the ropes
broke, and those holding the other becoming fearful
lest they should be carried up, let go, and the bal-
loon and car rose rapidly, leaving the aeronaut
on the ground, looking upward at his loss.
This mishap, too, was followed by a yell
from the people, who seemed to enjoy the sport very
much. The balloon ascended in a north• east direc
Lion until it was lost sight of in the distance, and the
immense crowd dispersed, chuckling over the ill luck
of the proprietor of the balloon. The time for the
second ascension was not announced."

The New York Journal of Commerce has a diffe-
rent account of the ascension of Captain Taggart. It
is as follows :—"Balloon Ascension.—The city was
all agog yesterday afternoon to witness Captain
Taggart's experiment at aerial navigation. He
ascended from Jersey city about four o'clock,
in the presence of a large throng of spec-
tatofs, and passed over the city in a northerly
direction, on a bee-line for Boston. The tele-
graph has not yet announced his arrival. To his
balloon he attaches a pair of revolving fans, which he
turns with a crank, also an apparatus for steering.
The Captain confidently asserts his ability to crossthe
Atlantic to Europe in three days."

spot, as there is a plentiful supply of Oil. For delivery,
however, many contracts have been concluded at 32s to
32s 3d. Cocoa Nut is yet operated in with caution,

421 to 431. In Rape Seed Oil sales have been of little
imporranse. with sellers of brown at 36s to 36s 63, pale

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19.

(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.)

the length of fixing upon the plaintiff some few immodest
and indecent expressions, and not one wrong act. From
the moment when she devoted herself to the defendant,
it was not insinuated that she had kept herself anything
but pure and spotless, and, whatever might have been
her previous conduct, he asserted that she was quite as
capable of feeling the circumstances of insult and degra-
dation which had been showered upon her as if she had
been the most chaste woman. Was it for them, on
such evidence as had been brought before them, that by
an adverse verdict, or by a verdict of nominal da-
mages only, that she should 'be cast forth into the
world and spurned from every door? That
was not the sentence which a just jury would
give. If his client hail suffered wrong, she
was entitled to compensation for her wrong. In con-
sidering all the circumstances of this case, he (the
Learned Sergeant) implored them to take every circum-
stance carefully and minutely under their attention. It
his view of the law were correct, the plaintiff would be
entitled to a verdict, whatever might have been
her conduct, if the defendant had known of the

circumstances of that dissolute conduct. In consider-

Several undefended clauses were disposed of 'at the
sitting of the Court, none of which presented any fea-
ture of interest.

ing the amount of damages, let them remember from
the first period since they had become acquainted, that
the defendant had never contributed one tarthing to her
support, except the 2s. U. per week which the parish
obliged him to pay for the infant. Not one sixpence
had been advanced by him since the time that the
attachment had commenced up to the present moment.
He had recapitulated all the evidence to them which was
of any note, the rest he contendel proved nothing, and
he would dismiss them to their verdict, earnestly en-
treating them to consider the state of things which might
be produced by the verdict which they were about to
give. If they should hereafter hear that this unfortunate
woman, in consequence of their proceedings, was beg-
ging from door to door, exposed to misery and want, let
them give such a verdict now as would justify their con-
sciences then. The Learned Counsel then sat down
amidst some disposition to applaud from the persons pre-
sent in the court.
Mr. Baron MARTIN told the jury that in this case the
chief question for them to decide would be the amount
of damages, since it was not denied that the contract had
been made, and that with a full knowledge of all those
circumstance of immodest conduct which were alleged as
the reason for having broken it. He called their
attention to the fact that it had not been alleged
that any person but the defendant had ever had
criminal connexion with the girl, while, on the other
hand, if she were really a good girl, it would
have been very easy to have brought forward witnesses of
her good character. If, however, they were of opinion
that the proofs of ill-conduct which had been brought
forward by the defendant were nothing more than in-
decencies of speech—more the effects of a limited edu-
cation than of a depraved disposition—and that being a
good girl she bad been debauched by the defendant,
they would give her such damages as would, in their
judgment, compensate her, and such as would be justi-
fied by the circumstances of the defendant.

The jury, after three hours' deliberation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, IN.

(Sittings in Banco.)
O'CONNOR V. BRADSHAW.
This was an action for a libel brought by Mr. Feargus
O'Connor, M.P., against Mr. Bradshaw, the editor of
the Nottingham Journal. A verdict was found for the
plaintiff on the first issue on the plea of not guilty, and
for the defendant on the plea of justification. The libel
conveyed imputations on the plaintiff's character in con-
nexion with the National Land Scheme. Mr. Sergeant
Wilkins obtained, during the last term, a rule nisi for a
new trial, upon the ground that the Chief Baron, who
tried the case, had misdirected the jury in telling them
that the National Land Scheme was an illegal company
as being a lottery; that the Learned Judge had impro-
perly left it to the jury to determine the meaning of the
plea of justification; that the Judge was also wrong in
directing the jury upon the plea of justification; that the
question was the bona fides of the plaintiff and defen-
dant. A point was also made that the Judge was also
wrong in telling the jury that the money in Mr. O'Con-
nor's hands would pass to his assignees if he should be-
come bankrupt.
Mr. Roebuck, Q.C., Mr. Keating, and Mr. Bagley
showed cause against the rule; Mr. Atherton and Mr.
Prentice appeared in support f it.
On the part of the defendant 'it was argued that the
company was illegal, and was prohibited by the 10th and
11th William 111, c. 17, and the 12th Geo. 11., c. 28,
and the other Acts of Parliament upon this subject. The
point had been before the Court of Queen's Bench in
the case of Reg. v. Whitmarsh, the registrar of joint-
stock companies, but that case was decided upon other
grounds.

- The counsel for the plaintiff contended that the com-
pany was not a lottery, and therefore was not illegal;
that the Acts of Parliament did not make all decisions
by chance illegal, but only a certain description. This
case was like that of co-partners dividing their land by
lot, which was plainly not illegal. It was also con-
tended that the jury were misled by tho summing up, as
they had found an inconsistent verdict—that is to say,
they had found a verdict against the plaintiff upon the
plea which imputed dishonesty in connexion with the
land scheme, yet had accompanied that verdict with a
statement that the plaintiff's personal honesty stood un-
impeached.
The case occupied almost the whole of the day. The
Court took time to consider their decision.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Not). 19.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLA NQUE.)
IN RE DOYLE.

In this case a question of disputed adjudication arose,
but as it was only partly heard, the further hearing
being adjourned till Monday, we pos'pone our report.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
TIME WITHIN WHICH A FIAT MAY BE ISSUED.
Mr. LUCAS applied to the Court to allow a hat to be
issued under the following circumstances: —An affidavit
of debt had been filed on the 18th of September last;
and the 82d section of the new Act required that a pe-
tition for adjudication in bankruptcy should be filed
within two months from the filing of such affidavit;
but, on the parties applying to file the petition, it had
been refused to be received, on the ground that the
hour of the day WAS later than that at which
the affidavit had been filed. There was nothing in the
office to show at what hour on the 18th of September
the affidavit had been filed; and it was contended that
the hour was immaterial, as courts of law only took no-
tice of fractions of a day when it was necessary to de-
termine which of two events had priority. Mr. Lucas
cited several cases in support, of this view.
His HONOUR held that the petitioner was within time,
and that the two months were not complete until the
end of the corresponding day of the second month.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

----
GUILDHALL.
CARDINAL WIPIEMAN.—Sir Peter Laurie asked Mr.
Alderman HumpherY, the sitting magistrate of this
court, if he had seen the report that had gone the round
of the daily journals, a containing statement made
from the bench on Saturday last by Mr. Alderman
Challis, relative to tho generally anticipated departure
of Cardinal Wiseman from this country ?
Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY said he certainly had seen
it, but not without some surprise, as he had since ascer-
tained that no such information as that of the Cardinal
having received notice to quit Loadon in 48 hours had
as yet come before the City authorities, in any form,
official or otherwise. Ile had made inquiries, and the
result satisfied him that Mr. Alderman Challis had been
misled in consequence of reading an incorrect statement
that appeared in one of the newspapers to that effect.

Mr. Sergeant ALLEN rose to reply. He rejoiced that
,he case had not terminated without an opportunity
being afforded to him to do justice to himself, to his
client, and to every person concerned in the case. It
was unknown in this realm that any previous amount of
mmorality should place a person out of the pale of the law.
If he were not able to refute piecemeal the evidence on the
other side, which he believed he should be able to do,
yet still he should stand before them for as full and fair
compensation for the injury which his client had ease
tained, as if she were pure and unstained. The effect
of a verdict against his client, en the evidence before them,
would be to expose her to ruin and ill-treatment with
impunity and without redress, because she herself was
not spotless. The main question, however, which would
arise would be the amount of damages, for the defendant
had acknowledged that at the time of making the con-
tract which he had broken, he was perfectly aware of all
the circumstances which he now urged as a plea for
breaking that contract. There was one cit.-
cumstance which he begged them to note, and
that was that not one of these acts of inde-
licacy and immodesty had been sworn to as
happening subsequent to the formation of this contract.
In sifting the defence it was necessary, in the first place,
to look at the kind of witnesses which were brought
forward. He would take the first witness whom they had
paraded forth as a carpenter, and at the time when the
facts swore to happened they found him as a shoeblack
and an odd lad employed on occasional jobs, then
he was a butcher's hack, then an under-gar-
dener, and now they could scarcely find out
what he was. All the time, however, the
friend of the defendant, and one who had the inde-
cency to accompany him during the time that their pro-
ceedings were pending, to some place of ill-resort, some
free-and-easy, where women took the chair and smoked
pipes and drank gin. They then had in evidence that
he was found in bed with Ann Morgan and the plaintiff.
Ann Morgan was 28, and was it likely that a woman of
that age would have suffered a child of 15 to be cognizant
of any amatory indulgence to which she might give away?
Then, again, was it not a monstrous fact that Mrs. Wood,
the housekeeper, after finding them in such a position,
did not immediately communicate it to her mistress—so
monstrous as not to be received without some further
corroboration? That was the only act of an overt cha-
racter on which they could proceed, and he asserted
that of that they should not have a peg on which to
hang a doubt before they acceded to it on the testimony
of such witnesses. Next they had the witness Woodiss,
who said that the plaintiff had invited him to sleep
with her, which, as he said, he declined. Now, with
all due deference to that gentleman, than whom au
uglier fellow he never saw in a witness-box, he
thought it was very unlikely that she should tv,k him to
her mistress's house under the old housekeeper's nose,
whr-re it would be impossible for him to enter. But
whatever it was, it was never pretended that that came
to anything. The evidence of Smith and of Challinor
only proved in their own conduct so beastly a disregard
of all the common decencies of life, that it quite put them
out of the pale of belief. No such proceedings could
have occurred unless fir the purpose of laying
some trap for the plaintiff. However well founded
it might be, was that to go to the extent
of laying her open to the wrongs and insults
which any fellow might throw upon her? As to Mrs.
Edwards, who had been so much paraded in the case,
there was nothing to fix any criminality upon the defen-
dant while she had been employed in the service of that .
person, None of the evidence in the case went beyond
