The King and Queen of Naples landed at Malta on the
24th ult. The steamer, having their Majesties on board,
reached the mouth of La Valletta Great Harbour at five,
when Fort St. Angelo fired a Royal salute of 21 guns, which
was followed by similar salutes from her Majesty's ship For-
midable (bearing Vice-Admiral Sir E. Owen's flag), the
Ceylon (bearing Rear-Admiral Sir L. Curtis's flag), and the
Aigle corvette. The Neapolitan steamer Ercole returned the
compliment. Their Majesties enjoyed this spectacle from the
bridge connecting the paddle-boxes. After viewing the dif-
ferent public establishments they left on the 26th for Lam-
pealosa and Parlermo.
In the French Chamber of Peers on Monday, Count Mole
spoke in strong terms against the vote of the Chamber of
Deputies, which forbids Members of either Chamber to
take part in railroad companies, either as contrac-
tors or administrators. The speech was received with great
applause by the Chamber, and a feeling was expressed that
Count Mole was the last to whom a charge of corruption
could apply.
The Carlsrhue Gazette contains a letter from Hamburgh,

tensive conspiracy in the provinces.
The Journal du Havre states from Hayti, May 28, that the

States, was spoken of, and negotiations were to be opened at
Port-au-Prince on the subject. The Ex-President Riviere,
and his fist Minister, Herard Dumesle, had received sentence
of banishment, and were to proceed to Jamaica.

LAW AND POLICZ.
In the Central Criminal Court R'bert Edwards, a gentle-
manly looking young man, twenty-one years of age, sur-
rendered to take Lis trial, on a charge of cutting and wound-
ing John Roche, with intent to do him some grievous bodily

pearance, was indicted for stealing, on the sth of May last,

Clarkson, it was elicited that a conversation had passed be-
tween them relative to payment, upon whicit the Learned
Judge stopped the case, and directed a verdicisof acquittal.
Mary Wright, aged 18, and Hart Neale, 50, were indicted
for stealing divers gold and silver coins from the person of
Mr. Moore, and acquitted. They were again indicted and
convicted of stealing a hat and some apparel, belonging to

keeps a house to which poor sailors are lured for the purpose
of plundering them of their property. It was also proved
that both the prisoners had been convicted of a similar
offence. The Court sentenced Neale to be transported for
ten years, and Wright for seven years. The latter prisoner
wept aloud on bearing her sentence.

The appointment of Lord Heytesbury as Lord-Lieutenant
appears to be a subject of very little general interest in
Dublin. There are circumstances which detract from it.
His Lordship is reputed to be not very rich, and Lady Heytes-
bury is said to be in ill health ; and these facts, coupled with
his Lordship's advanced age, are unfavourable to the hope
that the Court will be a very brilliant one, or his hospitalities
and expenditure on the most liberal scale.
The meetings of the Anti-Corn-Law League at Covent-
