The market has been without a feature, but prices remain
firm. Consols 914 for the Opening ex dividend ; Three per

In Foreign Securities there has been no variation. Belgian,

Business in shares has been very limited ; the sales only com-
prise—South Western, 60%; Eastern Counties New, 84 ;
Debentures, 61. Is. Bd. ; South Eastern, 244; Croydon, 12% ;
and Brighton, 354.
Dealers in bonds are extremely shy of entering into trans-

Exchange be known. Colombian, however, are quoted, 22%;
Portuguese Five per Cents., 344 ; and Spanish Three per
Cents., 21, both ex div. ; Spanish Five per Cents. 204.
The fraud of yesterday continues to excite much attention
among the parties connected with the Stock Exchange, and
has attracted some notice in the mercantile community
generally. The loss sustained by it has been calculated at
about eight thousand pounds, which, should the Commit-
tee not annul the bargains, will have to be borne
chiefly by jobbers. In consequence of these transactions,
a large amount of differences which ought, in due course, to
have been paid yesterday, remain still unsettled, and it is
thought that many defaulters will ultimately be declared. It is
reported that the Committee are determined thoroughly to in-
vestigate the business, and it is to be hoped that no wish to
screen the offenders will be allowed to interfere with the richly
merited exposure.
This ettempted swindle has done more than anything which
has occurred for many years to deter parties, unxannecred with
such dealings, from entering into them, and will, very pro-
bably, bring about the desirable event of annihilating the sys-
tem of time bargains in the bonds of insolvent or non-
paying States. It also forms an excellent illustration
to what has been freqUently written on the subject,
and goes far to prove that they are in reality flouting
but gambling. Hari the report been correct, it was
known that the house at New, Orleans had scarcely any con-
nexion with that here, and should therefore have had no effect
on the stock. Or even admitting that the firm in London
had suspended, the ultimate loss to the bondholders
could not by possibilLty have exceeded 24 per cent., and yet
the quotations were driven down no less than six per cent.
The decline also shows the estimation in which these foreign
Governments are really held, when the solvency of a mere
agent is considered to be of more importance than the stability
of the Executive.
Lys xaeout COTTON MARKET, JUNE 30.—The market
continues in the same dull state as heretofore, but without any
change in prices. Cotton is very fairly offered for sale ;
holders, however, do not press their stocks on the market so
as to cause a decline on previous rates. The business to-day
amounts to about 3,500 bales.

HE LATE EARTHQUAKE AT ST. DOMINGO.—
REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.-It is very remarkable, and
no less remarkable than true, that, on the 7th of May, at 28
minutes past 12 in the morning, the barometer stood at
29.000 inches, wind west-south-west, strong breezes and clear
weather; at 8, morning, it was 28.92; at noon, 28.81 ; and at
40 minutes past 12, afternoon, it was 28.80, wind south, light
airs with rain; at 4, afternoon, it was 28.76, which was the
day that the great earthquake occurred in St. Domingo. By
a letter from Culloden House, we observe that the barometer
on that day, at 9in the morning, stood at 28 72 ; and at 9in
the evening, 28.68. It is recorded in history, that, during the
earthquake at Lisbon, in the year 1755, Loch Tay, or some of
the other lochs, was affected by it ;if the barometer may be
affected at this distance from St. Domingo. It is said that
earthquakes generally have an effect upon the tides ; such was
hot the cake here (Dundee) on that day, nor for several days
afterwards. We shall see what the weather prophets say to
this. Zadkiel predicted sudden earthquakes in Nay.—Dundee
Paper.

•IRE PREMIER AND THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.
—The absence of Lard Stanley from the grand banquet given
to the Ministry by the Goldsmiths' Company, on Wednesday
evening, was remarked as an additional proof of the estrange-
ment which still exists between these high functionaries. The
appearance and manner of Sir Robert Peel were also noticed—
the former as betraying a mind ill at ease, and the latter as
constrained and embarrassed. His speech was " stale, flat, and
unprofitable ;" and tended nothing to increase the confidence
of, or even to impart a momentary stimulus to, the party which
regards him as its head.

HANOVER, JUNE 24.—The Budget is ready, and
the taxes granted. It is said, however, that the labours of the
Estates are by no means terminated, and that the Government
intends to lay before the Chambers several very important pro-
posals. As the Chambers have been sitting for some months,
it may be imagined that the members are longing for some re-
laxation, and that the prolongation of the session, if it should
really take place, n ill be as unwelcome as unexpected.
EAST PRUSSIA, JUNE 20.—Very rigorous orders
respecting the censorship, especially,against the Konigsburgh
Gazette, have been received here • and an article in that
Journal relative to the affairs of the provinces, (Mr. Von
Schou's retirement from the public service) has not obtained
imprimatur.

-BRUSSELS, JUNE 29.—Two of the sons of Count
Mensdorf have already set out for Germany. The Count and
the rest of his family will set out on Thursday. his Highness
the Prince of La four- and Taxis, Postmaster-General of
Germany, has arrived at Liege, on his way to Brussels. Mr.
Dechamp the new Governor of Luxemburg, has just set out for
that province.
ltichard Thornton, Esq., one of the Governprs of
Christ's Hospital, has presented to that institution the muni-
ficent sum of 2,0001. '1 hree per Cent. Consols, being the
amount of the verdict obtained by him in the Gurney affair,
with upwards of 6001. added from his own purse to complete
the purchase.
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIVTY, EXETER HALL.—
It gives us singular pleasure to observe that the cause of the
" Distressed Manufacturers" is about to be pleaded with the
powers of music, on Friday evening next, the Bth of July, by
the above Society. Ilandel's ruble "Messiah" is the liece se-
lected for the occasion, and when the thrilling passages which
it contains come to be performed by a band end chorus of 500
performers, as will be the case, there will be few hearts, we
imagine, but will be urged to fulfil in its widest meaning, that
law of charity, which the Divine Master, whom the oratorio
celebrates, pronounced as the most acceptable virtue in our
species.
A deputation consisting of six manufacturers, en-
gaged in various departments of the Nottingham trade, are
about to proceed to London, to join the National Conference,
which assembles on Tuesday next, the sth instant, having for
their object the enforcing upon the Ministers and Parliament,
the absolute necessity of their rendering some immediate and
effectual relief to the manufacturing districts of this country,
which are now reduced, by the present impolitic and unjust
restrictions upon commerce, to a state of &stress which en-
dangers the security of property and the safety of the State.
—We understand that deputations are likewise appointed from
Derby and Ilkestone, for the same purpose.—Notanyham

when, we understand, the fate of this wretched convict was
finaFy determined; but it is not yet publicly known.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BERMONDSEY.
—Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday, another de-
structive fire broke out in Bermondsey, at the howe of Mr.
Neal, No. 16, Bermondsey-street, an extensive potatoe sales-
man. It was will great difficulty the penons in the house
could effect their escape, and Mr. Neal was dragged out nearly
suffocated. The entire house was soon in a blaze, and shortly
after was reduced to a heap of ruins. Not a particle of pro-
) erty of any description was saved. The loss sustained by
Mr. Neal is about 2,000/. He is, however, insured. The
houses adjoining on either side are also much damaged. The
the is supposed to have arisen from an escape of gas.
SUDDEN DELTII.—Mr. Ross, merchant, Rosehall,

EXTRAORDINARY TWAL IN
CORSICA.

A trial of extraordinary interest came before the
Court of Assize of Bastia (Corsica), on the 30th May,
and lasted ten days. Upwards of 150 witnesses were
examined, and at least 3,000 persons were present in
Court each day. The persons accused were Charles
Morati, aged 39, landowner of Borgo; Dominique
Morati, aged 22, his brother, landowner of the same
place; Jean Gasabianca, labourer of Vignole, aged 44;
and Jacques Graziani, labourer of Siolea, aged 17.
The crime with which they were, charged was the
murder of Barthelemy Sebastiani, an old man of con-
siderable wealth, and a large land proprietor in
the commune of BOrgo. This gentleman had three
daughters, of whom the eldest was married to Octave
Alexandriani, a half-pay colonel, belonging to one of
the highest families in Bastia, the second was the wife
of Charles Morati, the owner of the commune of
Borgo, a gentleman of a most honoUrable and dis-
tinguished family, and the third was a young girl,
named Louise, riot yet married, but exceedingly at-
tached to Dominique Morati, the brother of her sis-
ter's husband. With the old man lived a sister, An-
gela Sebastiani, who had inherited a large fortune
from her uncle, the late Bishop of Corsica. This lady
was much annoyed at learning that Louise was in
love ; for she had intended her as her heiress, and had
often declared she would get her the most brilliant
match in the country. She absolutely refused to
consent to the marriage, and the consequence was
that the young people made a runaway match, trust-
ing to time and the good offices of their friends to
obtain pardon. This, however, was withheld by the
aunt, and, on her death shortly after, it was found
that she had constituted her brother sole heir of her
large property, leaving nothing to her niece. The
father, after some time, was persuaded, though
not without some difficulty, to acknowledge the
marriage and receive the young people. At first,
however, he reused to give her any dowry;
but the witnesses at the trial proved, in the
most positive manner, that he had consented, just before
he was murdered, to bestow upon her a portion like
the other daughters. At this time all the families
were on good terms with the old man, and paid him
frequent visits. He was exceedingly fond of his
grandson, the infant of Charles Morati, and always
kept him at his own house, declaring that it would be.
the delight of his old age to give him a brilliant edu-
cation. In April, 1840, the old gentleman set out on
horseback for one of his estates, and near Terra-Rossa
two shots were fired at him, and he fell dead on the
public road. Two men were seen making their es-
cape masked and wretchedly dressed. Conjecture
was immediately busy at work to fix on the perpe-
trators, and at ,last public suspicion seemed to settle
on the two brothers Morati. They were arrested,, as
well as the other prisoners, and the judicial investiga-
tion was carried on for 14 months. The accused were
then
,left in prison, in order, if possible, to gain addi-
tional evidence. At last the trial was ordered to come
on, and as the ordinary court was decided to be of
too narrow dimensions to accommodate the crowd
that was expected to attend, the church of the ancient
convent of the Jesuits was fitted up for the occasion;
but even with this additional accommodation the
space wathr too circumscribed for the immense crowd
that thronged round the building. The Prefect of
Corsica, the Secretary
.of the Prefecture, the Sub-Pre-
fect, the Mayor of Bastia, and a number of magistrates
were present at the trial, and the galleries were each day
filled with the first females in the country. The evi-
dence against the accused was merely circumstantial,
and of an exceedingly weak description. The strongest
testimony against them was a servant, formerly in the
service of the Morati, named Canari, who declared
tkat he saw two men come to his old master's, armed
with guns and pistols, and that Charles Morati had
said to them, after a long conference, " Take care not
to be recognised." But this witness's testimony was
proved to be unworthy of credit by the President
Jourdan, who had, in tie presence of Canari, proved,
by a visit to the place where the words were spoken,
that it was impossible to hear a single word of what
was said from the spot where Canari swore he stood
at the time of the conversation. Canari, on finding
that he was in danger of being tried for perjury, es-
caped. The Juge de Paix of Campile deposed that
the deceased detested the Morati, and that all his
affection was directed towards Mme, Alexandrini, so
that ;it was the interest of the Morati to get the old
man out of the way before he could make his will in
her favour. This was, however, formally contra-
dicted by the evidence of M. Sebastiani, cure of La
Porta, and vicar-general, who was on the most inti-
mate, terms with the deceased, and knew his every
thought. He deposed that his brother, on the con-
trary, had, even ten days before the murder, spoken
in the most affectionate manner of the Morati, and
had intimated his intention of leaving his grand-
son a large fortune, provided, • when he grew up, he
married his cousin, the only daughter of Colonel Alex-
andrini. " Could I declare,' said thie_venerable old man,
" where the murderer of my dear brother could be
found, be sure I would point him out. Ido not know
it, but I am convinced that it is the blackest calumny
to say the crime was committed ,in the family." Ile
here rose up, and with great energy exclaimed, " No ;
the Morati who were to be heirs of my brother as well
as mine ; no, the Alexandrini, who were to partici-
pate in the same good. fortune are not guilty ; I swear
• that they are innocent !" This gentleman's testi-
mony produced a great effect on the Court. The pri-
soners Cambianca and Graziani, who were tried as
accomplices of the brothers Morati, proved an alibi
by means of the witnesses for the accusation. The
ninth day of the trial the witnesses for the accusation
were all heard, and the counsel of the prisoners being
called on for the defence, one of them rose and deg

dared ".as there was no charge against the prisoners,
it was unnecessary to produce witnesses. The pri-
soners declined calling any." It was then agreed to
ad ourn the sitting for the reply of the law-officer of
the Crown. The next day, early in the morning,
every seat was occupied, though the proceedings were
not to commence until ten o'clock. A line of the
inhabitants of Borgo was drawn up from the prison
to the Court, and throughout their passage the pri-
soners were received with the strongest marks of interest.
When the • legal authorities entered the Court, it
was found necessary to send for chairs and seats to
the Mairie, as the public had seized on the places in-
tended for counsel. M. Sigandy, the Procureur-
General spoke for two hours on the evidence given, and
concluded by declaring that he gave up the charge
against the orati, but persisted in accusing the
others. The counsel of the prisoners then rose, and
said " the innocence of the prisoners not being doubt-
ful in the mind of any person here present, we con-
tinue to follow the same line of conduct that ac-
tuated us in refusing to produce witnesses, and
now decline making any defencG." The jury retired
immediately, and after ten minutes absence brought in
a verdict of Not Guilty. The President then addressed
the four persons at the bar as follows :—" Casabianca,
Graziani, and you, Morati brothers, victims of
calumny, intrigue, and perjury, you have too long
worn the chains reserved for criminals ; your fellow-
citizens have now broken your bonds, and I declare
before these altars, where the God of Truth has fixed
his abode—in ther face of the public—that you are
innocent !"—(Loud applause burst forth in the Court,
and cries were heard on all sides, Vice la Justice !
Vi vent les jures !) The friends of the accused rushed
forward to congratulate and embrace them, and a full
hour elapsed before the Court could he cleared. An
immense crowd followed them to their residence,
flowers were showered on them from the windows,
and blessings were breathed forth on the names of the
jury who had acquitted them. Such enthusiasm,
excited by the power of conviction alone, is, perhaps,
unique in the annals of criminal justice. ".

The day before yesterday, as a man, employed in
attending to a steam-engine at a manufactory in the
Rue des Trois-Couronnes, was oiling some of the
machinery, whilst the engine was in action, his hand
was caught in one of the wheels, and in endeavouring
to extricate it, his left leg was caught ,and torn from
his body. Having received assistance, he was re-
moved to the hospital, where his hand, which was
dreadfully injured, was immediately amputated. The
poor fellow died yesterday.

INCREASE OF CRIME.—The Worcestershire Mid-
summer Sessions commenced on Monday, and on Tuesday
morning the Court proceeded to try the prisoners, of whom
there were no less than 117 in the calendar—a striking proof,
if any were wanting, of the existrnee of general distress in this
county. To this number must be added those who will pro-
bably be committed before the close of the Sessions, which will,
in all probability, nearly bring the gross total up to 130. We
may state that, of the 117 in the calendar, only 3 could read
and e rite well, and only one could read well ; no less than 42
being unable either to read or write.— Worcestershire Chronicle.

CONVICTION OF DYSON, THE PRIZE FIGIITER.-
On Wednesday the notorious Samuel Dyson, the prize fighter.
for whom the police have been for mhriy months on the look
out, is as captured and brought before E. Sanderson and J.
Patrick, Esqrs., at the County Police-office, Palace card, on
a charge of assaulting Joseph Bradley, on the night of the 24th
of November last, since yr hich time the offender has kept out of
the was. The 'Magistrates conceived the case of assault to be
very clear, and fined Dyson in the penalty of 3/. Bs. 6d., with
1/. Its. 6d. costs,. and remuneration to Bradley; and in de-
fault to be committed to pi ism for two months. Dyson chose
the latter ahernative.— Worchestershiie Chronicle.

ETERNITY.—An American clergyman, in one of
his sermons, exclaimed to his hearers:—•• Eternity ! why
you don't know Ilse ticeanirg of that word, nor 1 either,

EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE OF
GOOD HOPE.
Various schemes have been proposed for promoting
emigration ; some contemplate direct taxation, some a
loan, and some an additional rate during the year, to be
appropriated by each parish for the emigration of its
poor, who prefer industry in the colonies to the degrad-
ing relief of our unions. Each and all of these, how-
ever, require legislation, and in the present depressed
stwe of the national resources we do not perceive mush
chance of either plan being soon adopted by Govern
ment. But if each Colony were to adopt and keep in
action a loan society, to assist industr:oas emigrants with
51. e.r 101., when unable to pay but a part of the passage
money, we think the colonies would find their account in
recsiying such men. Those who emigrate are generally
driven to it by the cares of an increasing family, and ap-
proaching necessity ; and a happy necessity we may yen-
Lute to call it, when the man sees, as with a bird's eye,
that necessity makes it pruden't ; but half of those who
go should have gone before ; like the swallow, they
should have prepared in the summer—each should bare
made up his mind when he has 4 some little means, in
order to have emigrated more independently, and then
charged with fewer children.
But times are now pressing upon the labourer and,
artisan, and most of them want some assistance, and it
each colony had its loan society, they would decidedlY
draw out a better sort of families, who are desirous and
partly able to pay for their passages. The needy work'
from competition, is now induced to undertake a
job tit mush less than formerly, and with the high price
of provisions, and rent indeed, scarcely at supporting
wages. This co npetition must increase, till at last the
little stock at the savings' bank, from little becomes
nothing.
These preliminary remarks arise from having been
shown the counterpart of a promissory note, which
gentleman in this city has adopted for assisting emigra-
tion. Simplicity recommends it, and credit for part of
the passage money being offered, indicates the certainty.
that tne emigrant will soon be able to pay for the balance
of passage money in the colony. The promissory note
we have seen does not give quite so much assistance as
we could %visls, but the principle is equally good, and it
may be as much as an individual can do. Societies could
do more. We insert both sides of a promissory note

PHOMISSoRY NOTE, FOR £l3.
I hereby acknowledge that Mr. Joseph S. Christophers,
of London, has provided me with a passage in the
steerage of the ship Guardian, Captain Vickt'rman, for
Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, for which I anknow;
ledge myself to be truly indebted to him in the sum 01
thirteen pounds ; and which I hereby agree and promise
to repay him, or his order in the said colony, in monthly
instal vents of twenty shillings each, first instalment to
be paid at the end of two calendar months after my

T e within amount to be remitted immediately' s°
that it may again be employed in sending out another
emigrant.
The emigrant, on payment of each instalment, to be
urged to write to his friends in England, giving an 3e-
count Of his progress, and of the country.
Thus the emigrant is taken to the colony for el., PaLl
down, and a promissory note* of 4/., the latter to ve
paid in five months afer arrival, in monthly instal"
ments, the first instalment to be paid two months after
arrival, in order to give the emigrant time to turn hinyf
self round, and get his little comforts around him. -11
he require no assistance, an emigrant can go for 12
only.
It will be observed that the first payment made here
is acknowledged by the ship-owner on the back ; and
that he appoints his agents in the colonies to receive the .
instalments, for which the receipt is also given on the
back as they are paid ; and thus the note is cancell
by itself.
By this simple plan we are persuaded much good on!
be effected, and we highly commend it ; because tDe
emigrant is not obliged to labour for the person. who the
assists hint, and forced into taking reduced wages. l'eci
takes his labour to the best market in the colony' an f
perhaps pays off the balance in five weeks, instead °f.
five months. Remuneration is as high at the Cape °h
I Good Hope as in other colonies—meat and bread ene"
2d. or 2ld. per pound. Our readers will recollect thil
for so:ne time past we have given favourable notices ? --
the Capa Colony, where the wages are good, work is •
constant, provisions are exceedingly cheap, and the eli-
mate is superior to that of England, exemplified by 14 1
:
deaths occurring in England per thousand, and 10 on ,t,
at the Cape per thousand. We venture to suggests th''
if possible, credit should be given for a pound or tw.°
more. Sure. we are that it would enable more to con'
grate. However, so far as it goes we commend the plan'

SINGULAR CASE.—Thursday an inquest was held
heroic 111 r. T. Wakley, at the Harp, George-street, St. Gilesr"
on view of the body of a female, who used to go by the uttli'l
of "the little Frenchwoman," and was sometimes called
" Mrs Emma Clark," who hung herself froM a window Pr
on Monday last, at her lodgings in Buckeridge-court. It sP„-
peared from the evidence that on the day in question, t"i
deceased did not answer the servant who called her as usnsj
at ten o'clock that morning. A ladder was therefore place
at her window, the dour being found to be bolted 01A ;1
when the body was found dead and stiff. The deceased
seen alive and well at eleven o'clock on Sunday night.
though she had been residing for nine years in that ncige
bout hood, no evidence could be procured as to the birth-100i
or relations of the deceased. She used to disappear now to
then for six or seven vieeks, and on her return has said thy'
she had been to France, and a juryman said he had heard td
she was the widow of a captain in the French army, and had
pension receivable abroad. She had apparently sufficil
means of maintenance, and was very reserved, until this Na,
week, when she suddenly took to drinking, evincing at the 4,34
time, by a change to wildness in her manner, that she yet'
become insane. She had said to her servant that she "o`l
could live in poverty." A very trifling sum was found in Per
room. Verdict, " Suicide whilst insane."

siderable alarm and surprise by the event. Some shopkeeltol
it is said, had upwards of 1,000/. deposited with them, ry,
numerous other failures ate expected to succeed. Yfie al,
thing,' says a corresp.,ndent of the John o'Groat mood
