AMERICAN ART I.V ROME.

An American correspondent of the Naples and
Florence Observer, writing on the studios at Rome,
remarks—" Soinetimes sculpture furnishes the text
that inspires the subjects, as in the case of Mr.
Mozier, who is now modelling in clay a statue of
Rizpah. It already indicates, though not.yet com-
pleted, the thoughtfulness and skill derainded in
the development of such a semi-ideal work. It
refiresents the Hebrew woman during the weary
night-watch upon the bill where her song lie slain.
She is seated upon a rock over which her sack-
cloth has been thiown, and her torch is
,held ber
hind her head whilst she peers far out into the
darkness. The face wears an earnest, anxious,
pained expre4iOn that roe-ails at once all the Bible
story and the reason for her sorrowful and sleepless
vigil. The subject is certainly, in this city of my-
thological marbles, not only original, but one that
has hitherto been untried. As you probably do not
read your Bible as often as you should, I will
give the verses from which Mr. Mozier took his
idea-2d San. chap xxi., 8,9, 10 verses. Bu-
chanan Read, the artist bard, is here this winter,
and intends, I believe, to make Rome his residence
for several years to come. His studio is a most at-
tractive place to all aesthetically inclined ; for he
paints, as he writes, with true poetic sentiment and
grace. Hawthorn in his Marble Faun' or ' Trans-
formation'—that being the transformation the title
has undergone in the hand of Tauchnitz —calls him
the Poet-painter, whose song has the vividness of
picture and whose canvass is peopled with angels,
fairies, and water-sprites, down to the eternal life,
because he saw them face to face in his poetic mood.
This work by our New-England Hawthorne is in
great demand by the way not only with the Ameri-
cans, but amongst the English, for the facilities it
affords as a book illustration. At Spithover's they
keep all the photographs of the localities, pictures
and statuary, therein described, and the prepared
p -Ter on which to paste them, so that it has become
a favourite ammement with the ladies here to buy
them, place them properly, and have the volumes re-
bound in vellum or other wise according to taste. The
Tauchnitz would be the best edition to select for such
a purpose were it not for the numerous misprints. If
it could be obtained here, that published by J. J.
Field and Co., of Boston, would be the finest in every
respect. Have you ever read the story ? If not you
should do so. It is even more entertaining taken in
connection with Rome and Ronan life than Bulwer's
Last Days of Pompeii,' taken in connection with
that ancient and ill-fated city. Amongst other
calls we made one upon Miss Foley, in whose studio
we met her friend and co-worker, Miss H., an Eng-
lish girl. Indeed, many of Miss Foley's warmest
friends are amongst your countrymen and women.
But her American admirers will not give her up,
though she continue to visit England and never re-
crosses the Atlantic. She is too genial a spirit to
lose, too true an artist. We found her busily at
work, but she welcomed us warmly ; one of us as an
old friend, the other as a new, and bade us sit down
without any fear of disturbing her. The group
that had engaged her attention as we entered be-
came suddenly invisible, but so long as there were
such a number of other objects of interest to attract
our attention we did not ask her to lift the veil
that concealed it. We turned our eyes instead to
a fine portrait of one of the most eminent American
statesmen, so striking a likeness, though merely a
marble profile, that we recognized it before she
spoke the name."—Anylo-American Times.

The following letter has been add/vs-411444
4iAt
Cameron to Prince Hohenlohe-Langenbui,;, who folinerly.
travelled with the consul during the visit of the Duke of
Coburg to Central Africa :—" Magdala, Abyssinia,
Prison, November 6, 1867.—Dear Prince Hohenlohe, you
will have heard of my rapid advancement in the diplo-
matic service, and after having been for two years attache
(par tes jambes), I may now regard myself as charge des
fers, if twenty pounds of iron may entitle me to this desig.
nation. Seriously, I have gone through wonderful event;
since we last saw one another ; but I think you know the
worst details from one source or another. England
has certainly done everything to conciliate our royal
friend. We now wait quietly until the troops come to
liberate us. I do not doubt the result, provided their
movements are rapid. Neither the King nor his people
have ever had real dangers to contend with, and I have no
doubt that only a small number of our people will be sufll-
- to give them an idea of our power, if they advance
quickly into the heart of the country. Many of these
things are in our favour—for, instance, the situation of
Magdala. Certainly there is some danger of our being
killed by the soldiers here in a panic ; but then they have
no place of refuge, since they arc surrounded by enemies
who would neither permit them to join the King nor allow
them to become rebels on our account. 'We calculate that,
either for good or evil, matters will be decided here by
the middle of January; and, after all, two months are
not long to wait" after four years in chains. I hear
that the Abyssinian affair is much blamed in England,
and, so far as I can judge, evil-minded persons, either
here or in Egypt, have sought to cast the blame upon me.
Nothing can be more untrue. I came with the per-
mission of King Theodore, for the second time, to
Abyssinia ; and although I carefully sought to abstain
from all cause of quarrel with him, since only three
months previously he had offended European opinion by
bastinadoing the Rev. Dr.' Sterne, yet I was taken from
a sick bed and thrown into chains for writing him a most
respectful letter, in which I requested him to allow me
to return to my post in accordance with my orders.
Nevertheless, I think that, in spite of all, the truth has
come out, although I myself have not written much.

It is impossible to thank him sufficiently for it. He will
be glad to hear that poor Schiller and his companions have
14d their wrist-shackles removed. The King makes them
work for him, although in leg-chains. 'With my most
respectful compliments to the Duke, the Duchess, and the
Prince of Leiningen, I am, &c., D. CAMERON."

THE TRIAL OF CAPJAIN NAGLE.

The most remarkable chapter in the strange eventfu
history of the Fenian prosecutions has been opened at the
Sligo Assizes. It reveals incidents of romantic interest,
and suggests questions of considerable nicety and con-
siderations of great importance. The case of Captain
Nagle, the chief :_prisoner, bristles with legal and constitu-
tional points, the;-discussion of which will probably ex-
tend far beyond the- precincts of the Court-house. They
have taxed to the utmost the learning and ability of the
bar engaged for the Crown under the leadership, of the .
SOlicitor-Gener4 who, in the absence of the Attorney- -
General, will coriduct the proceedings. • The extentof 'the
responsibility-which has beencast upon him may be inferred
from the able charge of Mr. Justice Fitzgerald to the grand
jury, in which he explained the novel and difficult =firm
of the questions which were likely to arise in the course
of the trials. Implc precautions have been taken by
the authorities to prevent any disturbance: The
loCal force has been reinforced by 150 additional
constables, two companies of the 72nd Highlanders, atula
-troop of the Ist Dragoon Guards. No popular excitement
or sympathy with the prisoners has been manifested. Mr.
G. F. Train, however, in fulfilment of his promise; has ar-
rived on the scene, and his presence is not calculated to •
ensure the preservation of tranquillity and order.. Judges
Fitzgerald and Keogh arrived ,from Carrick-on-Shannon
at ten o'clock a.m., and were received by the High Sheriff; -
who conducted them to their lodgings under a strong escort ,•
of mounted constabulary and dragoons. A body of High
landers was posted near the' Court-house. At twelve
o'clock Mr. Justice Fitzgerald opened the—commission-
and charged the grand jury. His lordship observed that
the statistical returns of crime since the last assizes
presented a feature which was honourable to the 'county:
There were but five cases for trial, which consisted alto-
gether of common assaults and petty larcenies. He
thought great credit was due to the resident gentry of
the country, yho by their example and administration of
the law had'hontributed to produce that happy state of
things. In addition to the ordinary business, however,
there were eight persons in custody against whom bills
would be sent up, charging them, under the Treason-
Felony Act of the 11th of Viclforia, ap oyi sec.
3, with compassing to depq.se4llr 4ueen from •
-her—reains 'of Iretanri, and set up! tAii Irish -
His lordship explained that the crime consisted
in the intention, which should be evidenced by
overt acts. He reminded them of the narrative of
the Jacknell expedition, observing that if the real
truth had not been kept from them, persons of education
and intelligence, such as some of the prisoners were repre-
seated to be, would never have engaged in such an exhi-
bitionof folly. About the 26th of May the vessel arrived
in Sligo Bay, where.certain proceedings occurred near the
coast which would be matters of evidence. One or two of
the so-called officers put in there, a couple of wounded
men were landed, and communications were held with
Fenian emissaries respecting an alleged design of surprising
the town and hoisting the flag of the Irish Republic.
That design, however, was abandoned, and the vessel,
after cruising about for some time, until the provisions
began to fail and the persons on board to suffer from the
voyage, at length touched at Helwick Head, on the coast
of Waterford, were twenty-five or twenty-six of them
landed, and were arrested by the police. Eight of them
were to be tried at the present assizes. One of them, named
Nagle, was an alien, and, consequently, owed no alle-
giance to the Queen or obedience to the laws of this
realm until he came within the limits of the Queen's
dominions. When he came within this realm, however,
a local allegiance was due from him, and he was answer.
able for his acts until he withdrew from the kingdom.
The learned judge explained that the Queen's dominion
extended over all arms of the sea, estuaries, and bays
within headlands, ports, or harbours, and also into the
high sea adjoining the shores as far as a cannon-shot
would reach, which is generally calculated as a marine
league. The law of the United States was similar. If,.
therefore, any acts of the prisoner on the high seas should
be offered in evidence, they would have to inquire whether
the Jacknell was then within the headlands of any bay or
estuary, or within three miles of the shore ; and he
directed them to deal with such acts as if committed on
the adjoining shore.

At the conclusion of the learned judge's charge, true
bills were found against Nagle and eight others charged
with treason-felony. Mr. Heron applied for a writ of
certiorari to remove Nagle's trial to the Queen's Bench, on
the ground that six Americans could not be found for a
jury in Sligo. Judge Fitzgerald refused, and said the ,
prisoner was entitled to a mixed jury, but the alien portion
might be of any country. Nagle was then arraigned. Mr.
Heron asked that the indictment should be quashed, on
the ground that six of the grand jurors were not resident
in the county. The court decided against the objection,
and the trial proceeded. Mr. Train was in court and
offered to serve on the jury. The court repelled the inter-
ference of Mr. O'Malley Irwin, through whom the offer
was made

MR. BARON CIIANNELL.=Ii is generally under.
stood, though the learned baron's health has considerably
improved, he will not have sufficiently recovered to be able
to go the North Wales circuit, and that the Right Hon.
the Recorder of London will go in his stead.

TEE Imsn D BEAT E.—The motion of Mr.
Maguire may now be considered as settled, and happily
without any interference with Government arrangements.
Captain Trevelyan ttnd Mr. Kinnaird, who had motions
on the paper for Tuesday, March 10, have with much con-
sideration withdrawn their notices, and that of the hon.
member for Cork thus stands first on the paper for that
day.

AMALGAMATION OF PUBLIC COMPANIES.--Vice
Chancellor Wood gave judgment on Friday morning in the
case of Clinch v. The Financial Corporation. The plaintiff
had filed a bill to impeach an arrangement
between the Financial Corporation and the Oriental
Bank, by which the former company was amal-
gamated with the latter company on these terms—the
assets of the Financial Corporation were to be handed
over to the Oriental Bank, who in return were to give one
cf their own shares for every three in the Financial Cor-
poration, provided that £2 further was paid on each of the
financial shares. —The Vice-Chancellor said the amalga-
mation could not be supported either by the articles of
association of the Financial Corporation or the Com-
Panics Act. It was, in fact, a scheme by whics
the Oriental Bank sought to raise £150,000 addi-
tional capital. Both these companies were now
being wound up. The Oriental Bank were entitled
to stand as creditors fur any amount, with interest, which
they had advanced in payment of the debts of the Financial
Corporation, and without prejudice to any question as be-
tween the shareholders of the Financial Corporation who
had been registered as shareholders in the Oriential Bank,
and the creditors thereof, such shareholders were entitled
to have their shares in the Financial Corporation restored
to them on their delivering up the certificates of their
;Igo iu the Oriental Bann.
