COURT AND FASHION.

BARON REHAUSEN, the Swedish ambassador, died
on Friday afternoon.
THE BANQUET at the Mansion-house to the gallant
officers (naval and military) ordered upon foreign service,
is fixed for Saturday next.
PRINCE ALBERT TAKEN TO THE TOWER.—On
Wednesday afternoon, Her Majesty the Queen, Prince
Albert, and two of the Royal Princesses, paid an almost
unexpected visit to the Tower. At a few minutes before
three the party left Buckingham-palace in two private
carriages, the first drawn by a pair of bays, containing
Her Most Gracious Majesty, Prince Albert, the Princess
Royal, and the Princess Alice. The Royal party minutely
inspected the jewel-house, the ramparts of the Tower,
the armouries, and the court-yard. Her Majesty was
attired in a very unassuming habit, and his royal
highness wore a blue frock coat with gold buttons.
THE Comm.—There is nothing of moment to record in
the court movements during the past week. The Queen
has had small dinner parties daily at Buckingham Palace,
and on Wednesday paid a visit to the Tower of London.
LIEUT.-GENERA.L JAMES HAY, C. 8., Colonel of the
79th Highlanders, died at Kelburne, near Longford, on
Friday, the 24th ult.
LADY ELIZABETH LescELLEs died at Goldaborough
Hall, Yorkshire, on Sunday, last week, in her 28th year.
She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Clanricarde,
and granddaughter of the celebrated George Canning,
and married, three years since, Viscount Lascelles, eldest
son of Earl Harewood, by whom her ladyship has left a
youthful family.
THE REFORM CLUB will entertain Vice-Admiral Sir
C. Napier, commanding the Channel Fleet, at dinner this
day. Lord Palmerston will take the chair.
REAR ADMIRAL SIR F. BEAUFORT, K.C.B. has retired
from his post of hydographer to the Admiralty, to which
office he was appointed in 1832. He is succeeded by Cap-
tain John Washington.

Tna DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER remains in a very un-
satisfactory state. During two nights in the past week
her royal highness enjoyed some quiet sleep, but on other
nights has been distressed by her cough, and the want of
rest has rendered her weaker. Her Majesty and the
different members of the royal family have called or sent
daily to Gloucester House.

A LADY entered a shop, some days back, inquiring for
an article which she had forgotten. The facetious pro-
prietor asked her if she had missed anything, else, acid
upon receiving a reply in the negative, he reihhidecl her
that gaze had left her bonnet behind.

NOTES, NOTICES, AND OPINIONS.

BY .701LINNBS BUSTICUS.

XXI. THE New REFOMI- BILL.—So Lord John Rus-
sell has abandoned this new scheme for revolutionising
the country. Good : but never to have introduced it
would have been infinitely better. The question now
arises —was it ever intended by its noble (or ignoble ?)
author to be carried ? Men of all parties say No ! Its
introduction was a solemn farce, unworthy of a statesn
—a trifling with the representatives of the people, mlst
discreditable to a minister. But the monster is defunct,
and it behoves us to be thankful. The demon of mischief
is easily evoked, and a discussion of the demerits of the
measure would probably have stirred up a thousand ill-
designing demagogues to overrun the country with their
long tongues, spouting blasphemy and socialism. Though
it is impossible to say to what lengths some will not go to
oppose the constitutional party, even though at the same
time they go far to destroy their own ; yet it is scarcely
credible that the Liberals generally would have voted for
a measure of so sweeping a character. The enfranchise-
ment of the six-pound renters would, virtually, have
disfranchised all other classes. Every merchant in Liver-
pool would have suffered the nullification of his vote by
the voices of his own workmen—taught, as these are, by
the same parties as are agitating for their enfranchisement,
to consider the interests of their employers as in direct
opposition to their own. Even a fusion of all the existing
electors into one party, representing the whole property
of the town, would not be sufficient to secure for that
property the advantage of a representative in parliament.
How would our Liberal merchants, and shipowners, and
shopkeepers like this ? Would it not be better at once to
adopt the proposal of the Preston " turn-outs," and create
a labour parliament, whose functions should supersede
those of the House of Commons, and whose decisions
should be imperative on the House of Lords, and irrever-
sible even by the Queen herself !
XXII. PROTESTA.NTISSI IN TIJAM.—No wonder Pro-
testantism is'spreading so rapidly in Tuam ; for it appears
from a statement made by Lord Monteagle in the House
of Lords, that no less a person than the Romish Arch-
bishop himself has for some time past been engaged in
translating and printing an edition of the Holy Scriptures
in Irish, and which it is said has been widely circulated
throughout his diocese. This important work has been
carried on so secretly that, until the fact was elicited in
the parliamentary discussion, no one knew anything about
it—the Romano-Irish papers were studiously silent on the
subject, and no Scripture reader ever communicated a dis' -covery of the interesting and important circumstance to
any of the Protestant journals. If Dr. M`Hale had con-
fined himself to translating the Scriptures for his own
private use and the use of his priests, it would not have
been so serious a matter—but that the Romish laity should
be, as the "Freeman" asserts, invited and urged to read
and digest them, must be a crime so heinous in the eyes
of the Roman Pontiff, that it is no wonder it should have
been kept as secret as possible. Will Pius the 9th excom-
municate Dr. M`Hale ? We shall see. Meantime prose-
lytism goes forward, and by the blessing of God the diocese
of Tuam shall ere long be a stronghold of Protestantism.

O UTRA GE UPON ENGLISHMEN
IN 1? 0 ME.

THE following statement of the treatment of
two British subjects by the Papal authorities, at
Citta della Pieve, on the Papal and Tusean fron-
tier, is furnished in a letter by Mr. John Duncan,
one of the sufferers, to Mr. Freebody, the British
Consul at Rome. Mr. Duncan says
We entered Italy in the month of October, 1863, each
furnished with, a Foreign-office passport. We travelled
through Piedmont, Lombardy, Parma, Modena, and part
of the States of the Church, to Florence. There we ob-
tained the vista of the Papal Nuncia for Rome. Thus our
passports were perfectly en regle. We passed through
Leghorn, Siena, and Chiusi, where we obtained the vista
of the Tuscan. authorities for leaving Tuscany, and
arrived at half-past ten o'clock on Tuesday morning,. the
31st of January, at Citto. della Pieve, intending to pro-
ceed at once to Orvieto, en route for Rome. In the two
leather bags, all the luggage we then had with us, were
the following . Italian books : —Ettore Tieramosca, pub-
lished at Florence;. I Promessi Sposi, published at
Florence ; an Italian. French dictionary ; two Italian
Bibles, one with the name of my friend, the other with
my own, written in the beginning ; and a few other
English and French books, secular and religious. In one
of my pockets were three copies of St. Paul's Epistle to.
the Romans in Italian.
The two Italian Bibles were at once seized and taken to•
the bishop, as about an hour afterwards were the other.
books. I accompanied' them to the palace, and after a
short conversation with-the bishop returned to the EtOgana„
where my friend and myself were both immediately arrested..
We were then taken: by the marshal of the police force,
accompanied by two or three gendarmes, to another house,
where we were searched. Everything was taken from us•
except our watches, keys, pencils, pocket handkerchiefs,
gloves, and silver money. Our clean letter paper and
envelopes were passed over fire. We were then taken,
escorted as before; to the governor, by whom we were
separately examined for about two hours. To every ques-
tion, except one—viz., who had given us the Italian
Bibles—we gave full answers. These were at once taken
down. We also made a declaration that the Bibles were
not intended for distribution. At the end the governor
requested us to go to Perugia, which we declined to do.
We were then requested to go up stairs that we might
dine. We went up and found ourselves in the criminal
prison. We were not, however, confided with the other
prisoners, but in the kitchen of the gaoler. It was now
two o'clock. I often demanded to know the reason of our
imprisonment—l was never informed. I asked tor "Ettore
Tieramosca," or any other of my books to read ; none was.
brought to me. I thrice asked to see the governor ; the
gaoler replied that he would come after dinner; he never
came. I thrice asked for paper to write to my friends ; it
was never brought. We had to sleep together on a bed,
about two feet and a half broad.

Next morning, at half-past four o'clock, the under
gaoler desired us to get up and go off to Orvieto. This
we refused to do, both because it was too early and because-
we wished first to see the governor. About half-past five-
the marshal of the police force, accompanied by three-
gensdarmes, came in and bade us rise and go. I replied,
" Not without seeing the governor." He threatened to
bind me with iron hand and foot, and to carry me by force.
I replied that being his prisoner I must obey him. Before-
leaving the prison I said to him, " You understand that,
though I go, I do not go of my own free go on.
command—l go by force." He said that this was what
he wished me to do. I asked, " Where do we go ?" He•
replied, " Where you said you wished to go." I said,
"To Orvieto ?" He replied, " Yes—to Orvieto." This
last statement was repeated by the gendarmes. We were
taken, not to Orvieto, but to Perugia. The marshal and
two gendarmes kept us strict and close prisoners on the
way. We were never allowed to leave the carriage un-
guarded, and while they breakfasted at a roadside inn I
was recalled from walking up and dawn the room, and
compelled to sit by their side.

We reached Perugia about two o'clock, and were imme-
diately lodged in the Carceri Criminali."N I requested
from the head gaoler paper to write to my friends. He
formally refused it. I requested a book to read—it was
refused. I asked the same person when we should be
taken before the delegate. He replied " perhaps to-
morrow—perhaps the day after—perhaps I don't know
when." I asked where we should spend that night. He
replied, " With the other criminals." We• were then
searched, our watches and pencils which had been left
with us at Citt& della Pieve were now taken from us, on
the ground that the prisoners with whom we were to be
confined were a wicked lot, and would rob. us. Our shoes
were taken off and examined. We were now told that,
though we should be confined with the criminals—(the
stench which issued from the window of one of the rooms
in which these criminals were confined was intolerable to
us at a distance of three or four feet) —yet we should be
placed in different rooms. And all this was to be done,
the gaoler expressly said, not from his own will, but by
order of the superior. We were being led away to be
confined separately and with criminals, when, being much
alarmed for my friend, whose health was the object of our
journey, I represented the danger to the head gaoler. He
was inflexible. I besought him that he would at least
either put us in the same room or confine my friend apart
from the criminals. He said it was impossible, as he had
the command of the superior for what he did. I entreated
him, prayed him, pleaded with him in every way for my
friend, and he at last consented to speak to his superior
on the subject. We heard no more; but, about an hour
after, during which the descriptions of our persons were
taken, we were brought before the delegate.
His first words were, " You are at full liberty ;" but, so
far as I understood him, he made no apology for the
treatment we had received. Up to the last moment we
were not informed, either by the bishop or governor of
La Pieve or by the delegate of Perugia, of the cause
either of our detention or of our confinement. We
learned from the delegate that the two Italian and the
one English Bible had not been sent to him by the Bishop
of La Pieve ;we have not yet received them. All the
rest of our books and papers (so far as we can remember)
were at once returned to us by the delegate, except one
copy of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, in Italian,
which he retained on the ground that one for each was
sufficient.

SINGULAR INDICTMENT 808 LIBEL AND CONSPIRACY.
—At the Hampshire assizes, at Winchester, two men,
named George Brown and William Knighton, labourers,
were indicted for libel and conspiracy, at Portsea, on the
6th of April, 1853. Mr. Ponlden, describing the nature
of the case to the jury, created considerable laughter in
the court. The prosecutrix kept a public house in St.
George's-square, in the town of Portsea. The defendants
had formerly been engaged as railway labourers, or
"navvies ;" but after residing some little time in the
town they opened a beershop almost opposite the house of
the prosecutrix, and some jealousy was excited between
the parties. After some time had elapsed, it transpired
that spirits had been sold at the house of the defendants,
and the prosecutrix's family gave information to the ex-
cise officers, which led to the detection of the defendants,
and a fine of £l4 was afterwards inflicted by the magis-
trates. As a piece of revenge the defendants resorted to
the following expedient. They secured the services of an
artist, and a painting was executed, being a likeness of
the prosecutrix, who is not pretty, and throwing out
some peculiarities in her physiognomy supposed to betray
propensities for liquid refreshments. The painting was
brought into court, amidst much laughter, it was a large
picture. The defendants had placed this board on the
front of their house, using it as the " sign" of the beer-
house, it being surmounted with the words, " The Hand-
some Woman." Crowds of people congregated in the
locality in consequence, and besides other annoyances, the
prosecntrix's property sustained serious damage. The
worst part of the case against the defendants was that
they had agreed to take down the painting for a considera-
tion of £26, which sum would have been paid by the
prosecutrix ; but a solicitor advised her otherwise, and the
present indictment was preferred.—The judge suggested
that the " handsome woman" be painted out, and so end
the case.—After the prosecuting counsel had concluded
his speech, a consultation between the parties ended in
the case being arranged by the defendants promising to
discontinue all manner of nuisance.—The jury having
been directed to•fmd a verdict of guilty of the libel and
pot guilty of the conspiracy, the defendants were ordered
o be discharged on their own rceopisances not to repeat
the offence.

Tsll aUGI7I DUTIEIS.—It having been represented to
the Lords of the Treasury, by the Board of Inland Reve-
nue, that, as the practice of refining duty-paid sugar for
exportation might be expected to become general after the
bth of July next, it would be expedient to extend to duty-
paid sugar refined for exportation the advantages in regard
to the allowance of drawback on the paper used in packing
the same, which were conceded in 1842 to sugar refined,
in bond for exportation ; and the board having suggested,
with a view to effect this object, that the sugar drawback
should be allowed on the gross weight of the sugar includ-
ing the paper and string in which it is packed, by which a
small gain might be expected to accrue to the revenue,
their lordships have been pleased to sanction this proposal,
and they have issued directions to the commissioners of
customs for the necessary steps to be taken to carry the
proposition into effect.
Tss PEACE DspuTATloN.—The following is said to
be the substance of the replies of the Emperor of Russia
to the solicitations of the three Quakers who waited on
him recently :—" We received the blessing of Christianity
from the Greek empire, and this has established and main-
tained ever since a link of connexion, both moral and
religious, between Russia and that power. The ties that
have thus united the two countries have subsisted for 900
I years, and were not severed by the conquest of Russia by
the Tartars ; and when, at a later period, our country
succeeded in shaking off that yoke, and the Greek empire
in its turn fell under the sway of the Turks, we still con-
tinued to take a lively interest in the welfare of our co-
religionists there; and when Russia became powerful
enough to resist the Turks, and to dictate the terms of
peace, we paid particular attention to the well-being of
the Greek Church, and procured the insertion in suc-
cessive treaties of most important articles in her favour.
I have myself acted as my predecessors have done, and
the treaty of Adrianople, in 1829, was as explicit as the
former ones in this respect. Turkey, on her part, re-
cognised the right of religious interference, and fulfilled
her engagements until within the last year or two, when,
for the first time, she gave me reason to complain. I will
not now advert to the parties who were her principal
instigators on that occasion. Suffice it to say, that it be-
came my duty to interfere, and to claim from Turkey the
fulfilment of her engagements. My representations were
pressing, but friendly, and J have every reason to believe
that matters would soon have been settled if Turkey had
not been induced by other parties to believe that I had
ulterior objects in view,—that I was aiming at conquest,
aggrandizement, and the ruin of Turkey. I have solemnly
disclaimed, and I do now as solemnly disclaim, every such
motive. . . . Ido not desire-war. I abhor it as sin-
cerely as you do; and am ready to forget the past if only
the opportunity be afforded me. . • . I have great
esteem for your country, and a sincere affection for your
queen, whom I admire, not only as a sovereign, but as a
lady, a wife, and a mother. I have placed full confidence
in her, and have acted towards her in a frank and friendly
spirit. I felt it my duty to call her attention to future
dangers, which I considered sooner or later likely to arise
in the East, in consequence of the existing state of things.
What, on my part, was prudent foresight has been un-
fairly construed in your country into a designing policy,
and an ambitious desire of conquest. This has deeply
wounded my feelings and afflicted my heart. Personal
insults or invectives I regard with indifference. It is
beneath my dignity to notice them, and I am ready to
forgive all that is personal to me, and to hold out my
hand to my enemies in the true Christian spirit. I cannot
understand what cause of complaint your nation has
against Russia. lam anxious to avoid war by all possible
means. I will not attack, and shall only act in self-
defence. I cannot be indifferent to what concerns the
honour of my country. I have a duty to perform as a
sovereign. As a Christian I am ready to comply with
the precepts of religion. On the present occasion ray
great duty is to attend to the interests and honour of i;n7
