The Week.

murder , and some expressions used by Emms led to the appeehension of Mullins . In his evidence , Inspector Thornton said that the conduct of Emms was not that of a guilty man . At Mallins ' s house there was found a plasterer's hammer , with which the wounds might have been inflicted . A man called AA'illiam Craig , the second engineer of the Mange - don , fi'om Limerick , has been drowned in the Thames . He had ' fallen into the riverivas unable to swimand ivas drowned before help

, , could be got . At the Middlesex Sessions a man who ivas charged with stealing gas-fittings at different places ivas found guilty , and sentenced to four years' hard labour in the Kor . se of Correction . An old man , in his 77 th year , has been committed for trial at Stockport , charged with the murder of his wife . He has , indeed , subsequently confessed his guilt . The murdered woman was of a very dissipated character , ancl had frequent quarrels with her

husband . Another extensive fire has taken place . It ivas in a coffee-house at Newell ' s-buildings , Islington . The inmates of tlie house , eight in number , were in lied . The alarm was given by a policeman who was passing , but , in spite of every exertion , the premises were , in a few minutes , entirely consumed . A child is missing , and a person named Edwards was burnt to death . At the Guildhall , on Saturday , two young Scotch girls applied for orders to be to '

passed their parish . They had gone to Calais , on the understanding that they ivere to have remunerative employment as instructresses in flax-spinning . They had been engaged tit two francs per day , but they received no wages at all , the sum of Is . 2 kl . per day being paid to fche woman with whom they lodsed Their work was very severe , and they ivere at length compelled ' to apply to the British Consul afc Calais , who had sent them on to London At Thames

. Street , on the same day , a boy was fined 10 s . for tin-owing stones at trains on the North London Railway-It appears that numerous complaints of a similar kind have been -made , and that the guards and drivers of tho trains had frequentl y been hurt . AA'ith reference to a recent death from chloroform at Northampton , a physician indicates a precaution which has recently been discovered , and is not generally known . It consists in making the patient swallow some brandy arid ammonia at the moment of ' inhalation .

FOEETGX INTET . T . TCEXCT . — The Condi ! ulionnel states that the . cotton manufacturers in France can easily compete with the cotton manufacturers in England . Any disadvantage under ivhich the French may labour from the higher price they must pay for iron is said to be counterbalanced by the expense of ' conveyance of foreign productions , aud which is estimated at five percent ' , below those " of England . The French Emperor has made a speech to the people of Marseilles . The occasion was a banquet iven in his honour by

g the chamber of commerce at that city . AA ' e cannot but bo glad to learn that there is at present a close " and intimate union between the people and the Sovereign in France . The Emperor considers that the progress and prosperity of France are owinar to that union . The object of the speech , however , is to insist on the importance of developing the resources of the country . "The works of peace are , in the eyes of the Emperor , crowns as ' beautiful those of laurel

as . " His Majesty looks forward to a future of national prosperity and greatness , ' in which Marseilles occupies a prominent position . This talk about peace is , however , tempered by one characteristic phrase— " The proximity of Toulon to Marseilles seems to represent to the Emperor the Genius of France , as holding in one hand the olive branch , but having her sword at her side . " The King of Naples , having quitted that citv for Gaeta , on Saturday Garibaldi entered Naples alone , proclaimed Victor

iMiimanmd King of Italy ; and made some changes iu the personnel of the Ministry . At Naples , therefore , the revolution is complete—The Sardinian Government have demanded the disembodiment of the papal mercencry forces , and the troops have already entered the Papal States , in order to protect the people . Indeed , there can no longer he any question as to the intentions of King A'ictor Emmanuel . On Tuesday last bis Majesty received a denutation irom the inhabitants of Umbria and the Marcheswho demanded

, protection from the Pontifical troops . The Kins promised protection ; and has published an important proclamation to the Sardinian troops , who are now on their inarch for Southern Italy . They are sent thither to " establish civil order in towns now desolated by misrule , and to give to the people the libert y of expressing their own wishes . " The King says that he is at peace with all tlnfoii-cat Powers , and that his onl y enemies are those "foreign adventurers who infest those Italian

unhappy provinces . " The most significant portion of this address is that which relates to the Pope . The King intends to respect the scat of " the Chief of the Church , " and will give him all the guarantees of liberty and independence ivhich tlie Papal advisers have in vain endeavoured to obtain . Victor Emmanuel , in short , now speaks fortheflrst time as King ofltaly . The Austrian Government has given repented pledtres that she will not stir unless she is attacked ; but doubt .- ; are still entertained as to what

may that take place , especially as it is stated arrangements have been entered into between Austria and Russia for puttinc an end to all their differences . The latest accounts say , the Piedmontese troops are marching rapidly on Lamcrcicre ' s forces . An engagement is expected . The Emperor and the French Government have used every effort to prevent the invasion of the Roman States . The relations between Piedmont and France are at this moment very critical . it is stated that France and land

Eng have eome to an agreement on the subject of the African slave trade , of which Spain is now the sole support . Lord Granville is said to have carried with him to Madrid the earnest remonstrances of the British Government , and the approaching interview between the Emperor Napoleon and the Queen of Spain is believed to have reference to thesamosubject . News , received from Damascus , state that Fuad Pasha had not incorporated the 3 , 000 prisoners into the but had

army ; sent 300 of them to the galleys . Fund Pasha gave 120 Mussulman houses to the homcless ' Christians . It is asserted , however , that as the mob insulted and threw rubbish at those Christians , they were obliged , after the first night , to return to the citadel , where , to the number of 10 , 000 , they Vere exposed to the burning sun , and destitute of everything . ' The large indemnity imposed on the city had excited threats and great agitation . INDIA AND CHINA . —Immediately following the announcement of the death of Sir Henry A Yard , from cholerawe have that of the

, Right Hon . James AVilson , the Indian Minister of Finance from the same cause . A paper has been published showing the cost of recruiting the Indian army , in consequence of the refusal to give the usual bounty to the soldiers who transferred their services f ? om the East India Company to the Queen . The number of soldiers who demanded their discharge , and were sent home at the Government expense , ivas 10 , 295 ; and the expenses of their transport , the expense from India and

back of the officers sent in charge of them , and other expenses , amounted in all to £ 259 , 138 . 4 s . oil . This is exclusive of the expense of their embarkation , & c . The cost of enlisting , drilling , and keeping 10 , 000 new recruits , tlie bounty paid tothein ^ and their transport to India , is computed at £ 100 , 000 , and the whole expense , so far as it can be calculated , must therefore amount to about £ 700 , 000 . Several of the men who ivere dischartred , at their demandhave received

own , now the bounty and have been sent back again . A telegram dated Shanghae , July 17 , states that the were hi be attacked on the 20 th . The allied troops were in good Taku health . The next mail will probably bring us the information forts which is looked forward to with much anxiety . CO . U . U : EI ! CI . IL . —At the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of England , a dividend of 5 per cent , for the six months was declared . The directors have presented to each of the employes a bonus of 10 per cent , upon their salaries , and to the chief accountant and chief cashier £ 1000 each .
