PRICE 4D. STAMPED, sn.  towards the children of the second marriage, an  the degradation which her brother suffered when at home in having to draw the young children in a perambulator, and that Mr. Kent, in comparing the younger child with William the elder, was in the habit of saying that he would make a much finer man than the other. It was Constance and her brother William who ran away together from their home, the young lady disguised in male attire, for the purpose of going on board ship at Bristol, and on that occasion her ordinary wearing apparel, and the hair which her brother cut from her head with a knife, were thrown down and concealed in the same privy in which the body of the poor child was found. The Road mystery is one which will probably never be cleared ep. Our police system is not, perhaps, so efficient as it might be made ; but, at the same time, in judging of the conduct of the particular officers charged with the investigation of this mysterious affair, it is but right to bear in mind that it was not until a fortnight after the murder had taken place that Inspector Whicher was sent down to the spot by the Home-office, on the application of the local magistracy, who had been completely baffled in their inquiries ; that, as a detective officer, his reputation for activity and intelligoice has been long established ; and that the Home Secretary— a man more competent, perhaps, than any other in England to decide upon the value of evidence—has expressed the fullest approbation of his conduct.— Observer. •  The election Of deputies for oar promised Parliament is put off. All newspapers which have not paid the 3,000 ducats caution money are suspended. These facts may look reactionary, but they are not so. The Ministry, I repeat, are sincere and honest, and but for the bad reputation of the King all would go well. As it is, no one cares what they say or do. We look to Garibaldi's arrival, and consider the King and Government alike provisional. I now send you further particulars relative to the departure of his Royal . Highness the Count d'Aquila from Naples. Prince Luigi, the King's uncle, the originator of the proposed coup d'etat, embarked on board a Brazilian corvette the same night (Monday) the affair was to have taken place. The following morning, at about nine o'clock, ho sailed with all his family, carriages, horses, equipage, &c., towed by the steamer Vessuvio. The official joarnal announced his departure by stating that the prince (the admiral) was en route to London for affairs of the royal ravy I cannot exactly say what were his intentions in endeavouring to get up this coup d'etat ; in fact, whether it was to do away with the present Government and seize the throne. The conspiracy was planned on a large scale, and would have created a sanguinary conflict throughout the country. His satellites were, and still are, armed. The clay of the conspiracy several cases of arms were seized at the Custom-house. We are indebted to the Minister of the Interior, Signor Peilmano, for the suppression of the revolt and plunder of the city. He was, oddly enough, formerly a dependent of Prince Luigi. He lost no time in exposing the conspiracy and placing the details of the plot before the King, and further insisting upon the expulsion of his uncle, the Prince. It is almost certain that M. Jermain, a French merchant, who has a shop near the Caffe de L'Europe, known as a spy, was the person who had the arms brought from France ; and with him two other Neapolitan merchants are named, viz., Miccio and Malagrida. There also seems no doubt that M. d'Ajon, a Frenchman, was mixed up in the conspiracy. M. Farina and some of the new commissaries of police were implicated in this conspiracy. Count Gaitano, a major of hussars, was the only military man whom I can name as one of the Prince's tools, but there must be many more in the army who are guilty. General Nunziante certainly sent in his resignation to avoid being identified with Prince Luigi's conspiracy. This I heard from his own lips, but I do not place mach confidence in it ; we are 1 all so liberal now.  The Austrian Government, I hear in official quarters, will not interfere in Italy, but act on the defensive in Venetia. Prussia is said to have made an agreement with Austria to assist at the defence of Venice, and in return Austria is to help Prussia if the Rhine provinces are attacked by France. So say our wise men.
