Guerrazzi bad been asked if he would accept banishment ou the express condi- tion of not publishing abroad any political work or memoir. The reply of the prisoner to that question was not known. A lawyer named Vecchictti had been arrested at Florence, on the charge of keeping up a seditious correspondence with Piedmont. The committee appointed for the liqnidation of lia- bilities of property under seqnestration in Lombardy is now in fail activity, having announced its installa, tion in the Palace of the Lieutehancy at Milan inthe Eco della Borsa of the 224 ult. The Parlamento states that many individuals at Genoa had offered their servies to the Turkish Con- sul to fight against the Russians. This functionary, however, could give then no reply, as he had re- ceived no instructions to that elect from his govern- ment. Moroceo, The Akhbar of Algiers, of the 20th ult., gives some details as to the state of Morocco. The situa- tion of the interiér of the country had not at all im- roved, and there is no secur ty in travelling through it even for the natives. A short time since a cara- van. of sixty mules laden with leather, while pro- ceeding from Fez to Tlemcen, was stopped by the tribe of the Angads, and made to pay a ransom of 1,800f. The Emperor has given the most severe or- ders in the hope of putting an end to these predatory scenes, but his authority is everywhere set at nonght, and the majority of the tribes of Morocco are in open revolt. On the eastern froutier the Beni Iznacens are in tual war with their neighbors, the Ouchdas, and scarcely a day passes without razzias being made on each other. “The Emperor of Moracco is not popular, because tike Mehemet Ali, he monop- olises all the produce, and the producer and the con- sumer equally suffer.

According to the report of the Mel- bourne Chamber of Commerce, the exports of Vic- toria alone amounted in 1852 to ten million sterling, the greater part of whi:h was made up of gold. During the firat three months of 1353, upwards of €00,000 ounces of Fold had been shipped from Mel- bourne alone.

This English balance sheet may well be taken to illustrate the results sure to follow the step3 ofa na- tion that grows up in intelligence, industry, and free- dom. Where men are permitted full scope for their industry and safe enjoyment of its fruits national wealth is sure to accumsla‘e, and national spirit and power to increase. On the other hand, where men are serfs and in ignorance, we see them made thie ig- norant tools of irresponsible despotism. In place of winning wealth, intelligence, and independence for themselves, demands for their obedience and appeala to their fanaticism are seen to be only forerauners of the outpour of evil ions, the shedding of blood, and the spoliation of provinces unhappy enough to become the objects of that inzatiable ‘greed which impels tyrants to the ruin of others—and (happily) oftentimes to the ruin of themselves also. The Irish Exodus " The Dublin correspondent of the London Times writes thus, under date of July 4th :—The portion of the Jast Australian mail destined for Ireland, aad which reached the Dublin Post Otlice yesterday, was quite a “monster” in bulk. It required for sorting and distributing thirty-two extra pair of hands, and the carriers were not despatched on their severa walks until two hours beyond the ordinary period. A golden harvest in the shape of remittances may bee: ted by this arrival, and no doubt the “flight from Ireland’? will be further ascelerated without waiting for the completion of the coming harvest sea- con.

From the Londou Times July 6.) The celebrated American clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas, Captain M’Kay, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday evening, from New York, having made the ran in a shorter time than was ever previously accomplished by @ sailing ship. She departed fron New York, in towo a steamer, at 3 P.M. onthe | 18th ult., and at 6:30 A.M. on the 19th the lightship bore N., distance one mile.

From her position on the Grand Banks on the 25th ult., in lat. 46 20,lon. 50 10, she was 135 hours thence to Cape Clear, a distance of 1,668 miles, bei 4 an average of 290 miles per day, or 12-73 knots per hour. The Sovereign of the Seas has been exactly 228 days at sea, and has made an average speed of 130 knots per day during the whole time. She has been dismasted in the meantime, by losing all her top- masts, and was rigged at sea, for which her com- mander was presented with a handsome service of ee by the underwriters. The most remarkable feature connected with this extraordinary ranning, is the fact that she has made the last two passages with a crew of thirty-eight seamen and six boys. This contrasted with a frigate’s crew, is, indeed, almost surprising. The Sovereign of the Seas brought several cabin passengers, among whom are Mr. and Mrs. Warner, the actor and actress; Mr. D. M’Kay, the builder of the ship, and lady; Captain M’Kay's lady and two chil- dren; Mr. and Miss Emery, Mr. Brown, Mr. Howitt, Mr. Landean, and Dr. Henry. EE Bi 143,031 a Markets.

The Texas brought $118,000, in specie, and the following passengera :— M. Lavasseur, French Minister to Mexica, Mrs. Nickson, F. Pastrey, H. C. de Hernuda, B. It. Gaoke, William Comstock, W. Spears, G. Hazzen, H. Reyna, Boyle, Agny, G. Fourier, C. Gillespie, and thir- teen in the steerage. The New Orleans Picayune of the 12th gives the following complete sumtnary of the nevws:— General Santa Anna had taken up his residence at the villlage of Tacubaya, where he had declared his intention of passing the summer. A telegraph was to bre Yad up immediately from that place to the capital. he Mesilla affair is far from being settled. Senor Salazar, the Mexican Boundary Commissioner, had made a report on the question to the government, which the Mexican papers sustain, and proves the undeniable right ot Mexico to the territory in dis- pute, and which takes the ground that the B undary Commissioners has the same force that the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo has. Senor Salazar is so con- vineed of the justice of the claims of Mexico that he protests against the government ceding to the de- mand of Governor Laue, and declares that if it does he will resign rather than subscribe to an arrange ment so humiliating an unjust to Mexico. The Mex- ican press complaine of the discordance between the tone of the Washington Unzon, as the organ of the American goverment, and the assurances of Judge Conhling that Gov. Lane’s course would not be sus- tained, The Eco ded §: del Comercio of Vera Craz, a most deci- Anna paper, says:— yy of Mesilla hay no importance whatever; its med siyantages for @ railroad route to the Paciic vo proved false. it has ne mineral nor agricultural, nor industritl value. The determivation, the efore to veurp it is eustained for the puroose of creating differ eveos, of proveking strife and involving usin s cew war. ‘The blood bells ta our veins at thiv flagrant aa! crlmi- ral transgression of the lawa of society. It we are das- tined by Providence to be the victim of American ambi- tion, let our destiny be fulfi'led, for it ia thousand tines vane to perish im unequal combat than to bear such in- sults. Very beary: rains have fallen in the valley of Mex- ico, and on the 16th ult. the streets of Mexico were overflowed to the depth of several feet, and ail com- munication between the different parts of the city was suspended. It was feared that a few days more rains would cause grest damage. ‘ Don Rafael Rafael, late editor of the Universal, has been appointed Consul at New Orleans for the Mexican Republic, with $1,500 salary. The Siglo Diez y Nueve says the publication of the new tariff had caused ver Tittle alteration in the prices of foreign goods, but that the new law of Al- cabala (or excise law,) had nroany increased the prices of those articles upon which it bore. Rumors of a pronunciamento in Guadalajara were for several days rife in Mexico, and the government had directed the Diario Official to contradict it, which it did as tollows :— Sundry rumors have jately been circulated. at the cor- ud all clubs, about supposed syinptoms of lution im one of the States of the Republic, and even one of the papers has insinuated the sane thing. Without entering into a discussion. aod rolely for the purpore of satisfying the public mind, we ara authorized hy the 3upreme Government to deny these rumors, which, not contradicted, might endanger public tranquility, which bas not been at all affecied. ‘The Republic enjoys throughout the tranquility and cor fidence necessary to carry out the important reforms which the entire nation demands. Senor Snaraz Navarro has been sent at once to Guadalajara, and his mission was supposed to have connection with the rumored difficulties there. A report was also prevalent that Senor Haro, the Minister of Finance, had determined to resign, which was contradicted by one of the semi-official apers. F The government had ordered the governors of the several States to send in at once their estimates of expenditures, in order that the national budget might be made up at once. Senor Diaz de la Vega has been papeinted Gover- nor of Yucatan, and General Salas Governor of the State of Mexico. The commissioners charged with the preparation of the new territorial division had not yet reported. There were sometifierences of Cre among them. ‘The powers of the Council of State have been reg- ulated as follows:— Tt shall prepare and draw up all proposed laws which the government shall place in their charge. It shall prepare and éraw up all regulations for public adwwinistration, which it shall be directed to errange. {t shail give ite opinion on all affairs in which it may he consulted by the government. A circular to the governors directs them to publish the decrees of the government at once, on reccipt, without comment or other orders. In consequence of the intercession of the generals, chiefs, and officers of the garrison, the President has granted an amnesty to the officers who surrendered voluntarily to the invading army in 1846, '47 and ‘4, but orders that they shall ail serve in the army on the northern frontiers. The steamer Santa Anna bod made her first trip on the lakes as faras Mexicalcingo. . The law of 1824, prohibiting any innovation in the revenues of the clergy, has been re-established. Several more corps of lancers have been organized, and the defence of the town of Zotepingo against the American forces on the 20th of August, 1847, pro- bees the retreat of San Antonio, has been declared “Heroic.” Governors of States have been prohibited from giv- ing naturalization papers to foreigners, this power being reserved expressly to the President. The Li be of forming the revenues and forming a national bank, it is said, has been definitely re- jected. : Goy. Furlong, of Puebla, had had an attack of the apoplexy and been obliged to resign. Gen. Mendoza had been appointed in his place. Senor Furlonghad partially recovered, A series of regulations for the preservation of the road from Perote to Vera Crug have been issued. In Vera Cruz the sale of fruit has been prohibited, in consequence of the prevalence of the yellow fever and cholera. It was said that the cholera had broken out in Jalapa, but the rumor was subsequently de- nied. Dysentery was very provalent there, A new and very minute decree regarding the ar- manent of the nuvy has been published, and this branch of service was to be put on aa effective foot- ipg. The cross which had been granted by Gen. Lom- bardini to the defenders of Sonora a; the French expedition, has been abolished. A man named Manuel Canedo has been arrested at San Luis Potosi on suspicion of being the assassin of Gov. Reyer. On being taken to the prison, the black coachman who drove the carriage at the time of the murder, exclaimed “That is the man that rode the gray horse.” 1t was said that some un- known person alowed Canedo two dollars a day in the prison. The Isthmus of Lento has been created a territory, and Minititlan declared its capital. In the official decree, the boundaries are laid down in ac- cordance with the map of Major Barnard’s survey as being the best of that country. The civil war in Chiapas still continues. The Guatemaia journals state that in consequence there- of, more than three thousand persons, cor [or the entire population of several towns, had crosse the boundary into that country, and that they were in the greatest want and misery. Notwithstanding that the time’for the conscription was so near, forced levies still continue. One of the papers states that several of the parties lately brought into the capitel comprived mavy who were so weal and sickly That they were refused adwission to the army, and were leit to starve without means to re- turn to their homes, Several suicides of soldiers are reported. be Indians still continue to ravage the States of Sopora and Durango. An exchange of prisoners had been agreed to by one of the Apache chiefs, and in consequence thereof, he had given a respite to the town of Fronteras, which he had been menacing. The mail to Chibuehua had been cut off, and the carrier murdered. An officer from Durango reports 8 valiant affair which be had with some Indians, but from his account all he did was “ to save his troops,” which he did by ranning, Several of bis men and the officer in command were killed by the Indians, The Governor of Durango bad called a junta of the principal citizens to devise means of de‘ence. INTERESTING ITEMS PROS CUTTY ANUA, Another large train of Western ‘clers arrived at fan Antonio on the 22d ult, from Chihuabua, inthe unusually short passage of thirty-seven days. Lhe trip has been so satisfactory to the parties interested that they declare their determination to transport their goods for the fature entirely on this rouie, and expres the belief that the whole trade, whioh amounts to over $1,000,000, will soon be removed from !nde- pendence. The San Antonia popers are furnished with the following items of news, from Chihualina, by this arrival. TRIAS AND THR PRESENT GOVERNOR OF Canitva- nvA—Trias, it will be recollected, wae elected Gov- ernor of Chihuabna by the Lge voice. Having gone to El Paso, in command of the troops destined to take possession of the Mesilla Valley, Luis Znloa- ie was appoited Governor pro tem by the Caihua man Congress. Both are extremely popular menin their State, and both ceteemed #8 men of imore than ordinary ability. An attempt waa made to form a coalition of States agaiost Santa Aja. A commu nication to this effect addressed to Trias, was re- ceived by Zuloaga in the absence of Trias. He re fused to‘act In the premises.

General 0. Clarke, of New York, with an escort generously granted to him by Major Arnold, the commanding officer at Fort Graham, started for l’ort Graham on the 23d instant, to make an exploration westward, in company with Lieutenants elas and Bingham. General Clarke will go as far West as possible with this escort, and his examinations will probably disclose an easy pass for a railroad through the upper Bosque country, and near the parallel of 32 degrees. We learn that General Rusk is about rting with a large party from Nugadoches to jon this expedition, and should he meet General Cbrke it is probable that both will proceed to Bl Paso. At any rate, the explorations already made by our friends from the North will enable them to moke a report that in our judgment will be in the highest degree favorable to the immediate under- taking of the great Pacific road. A party of fifty men had started from Matagorda for the gold regions in the vicinity of the Guadalupe mountains.

The great proseare quip ibn, Miseape of Captein Gibson, of the Amorican Scheoner Fiirs. (From the Singapore Free Fess, May 6.) A report has reached us that Mr. Gibson, of the American schooner Flirt, has succecded in making bis escape from prison in Batavia, and that he has sailed for A ica in a vessel belonging to one of his countrymen, which left the harbor at the time of his escape. Our readers ure awire that this gentle- man and bis wate have now beca in custody for upwards of a had upon the most absurd and tivo Jous charges, that they have been twice tried in the Dutch courts of law, and twice acquitted, and that after the last acquittal the legal officer of govern. ment demanded a review of toe juizment of the court, to await which Mr. Gibson and bis companion were remanded to prison. If he bas escaved, how- ever—and we truly hope he has—it remuius to be seen whether the Dutch anthorities will persevere in their unjust and most ill judged attempt to obtain the countenance of the law in crashing the humble mate, new that the more considerable victim bus escaped from their fangs. We have felt some surprise at the apparent apathy of the United States government ia this matter; and are at a loxs to conceive how +o prompt in ordinary to vindicate its own dignity ard the fiterties of even the meanest of her citizens, should have 89 long tolerated the course of glaring injastice which the Dutch have pursued towards this unfortunate man and his mate. The charge agains: him, stated by itself, is very grave, no loss than attempting to create an insurrection of the suljects of Holland in Netherland India. Bat when the circumstances are known, the charge becomes simply ridiculous, and the trickery that must have been used apparent. The principal, and indeed al- mst only evidence against Gibson, was a letter to a Malay Rajah, in which he is said to have instigated him to throw off the rule of Holland, promising him the sympathy of America, and saying that he, Mr. Gibson, “himself would shortly arrive on the said Rojah’s chores with his ship, aud give him assistance. Now this formidable ally of Malayan Rajahs, who was to revolutioniza Favt, snd wrest from Holiand her possessions in this <rchipelago, is, as it turns out, the master, and, ye Hehe, owner, of a small trading vessel; and the ship,” Which was to work such portentoas results, nd which petajahanlp was invited to expoct as big with the fate Uf the East, is the schooner Flirt, of sinall burthen, matmed by no more hands than were necessary to sail ber, aud without arms or amumu- nition of any sort, eitwer in the shape of silver or sulphur. Mr, Gibson’s version of the matter is, that having shown an inclinationto make visits and ask questions not at all epreeabl to our neighbors, they adopted the easy though very trangparent trick of waking bis Mala wal ay (for ke was himself totally unacquainted with the language) write the letter which was produced agains’ bim, and thus furnished themselves with an excuse for putting a most effectual stop to his proceedings. It seems to be admitted that the interpreter employed by Mr. Gibson was formerly in the service of the Dutch, but, he is said to have been discarded for misconduct before Mr. Gibson engaged bim. We are aware that the Dutch still resort to the contemptible system of government espionage, and that it is therefore not only not impossible, but not very improbable thut the last is the true statement of thecace; though we can quite conceive sufficient care has been taken to prevent any other report reaching Washington but their own. Now, however, if Mr. Gibson has in reality got away from them, he will have an opportumty of laying his own case before his government, and we should not be astonished if it resulted in Commodore Perry’s coming down with his squadron to take a look at the rotting timbers of the Flirt in the waters of Batavia—and that the Dutch may thus have brought upon themselves the thing they so greatly fear.

The Trial of Catherine Bohan—Mosmestam [From the Ny Bee C ‘ual, Jaly 18 ) om wen Juuri ‘This trial, which took place last week, was of considerable interest, party from the amount of the property lost, and which the prisoner was ao- cused ¢f felopiously taking, being $17 in bank bills, a gold watch and some jewelry, worth about #300 more, but chiefly the connection of mesmerism and clairvoyance with the evidence in the case. A. large audience assembled to see and hear how a grave judi.ial tribunal would dispose of such strange questions as might possibly arise. The prisoner is an orphan girl, Irish, and @ ser- vant, rgt yetsixteen years id. She had always, so far as ¢ ared, sustained a good character, has am intelligent looking face, and but one friend in the wide world, and (hat friend a step-mother, who has been unwearied in her effurts to secure a fair wial im the case. She was arraigned on an indictment for a theft of the above mentioned money and property, belonging ‘ to Samuel B. Parmelee, ‘son of the sheriff of this county, allexed to have been committed by her on the night of the 27th of April last, in the town of Wallingford. The facts were substantially these: Mr. Parmelee had that day been to New Haven, and bad received a considerable amount of money, which he counted on his return, and which, wi other money collected during the previous two weeks, amounting to the above named sum, he placed within a desk in a drawer containing the wotch and jewelry, locked the desk and put the key in his pocket. The prisoner sew him counting the morey. Some window sills and otber parts of the houre had been painted that afternoon, and wiadows bad been Jeft open to allow the paint to dry. After dark the windows were shut down within about an eighth of an inch, being supported by some nails placed under them, se that the sash springs did not catch. At the usual hour the family retired, after locking two outside doors, and leaving one unlocked, to allow the Phenaide) had been out that evening, to come in. Soon after. Mr. P. and his wife heard 3ome. one—the prisoner as they supposed—come in at the unlocked door, pass up to her room in shoes, and soon ccme down to the buttery without shoes, and return te her room. A light that showed a person's head at the open window front, up stairs, was seen about ten o'clock, by a boy inthe street, and the light moved into the prisoner's room. Nothing more ap- peared to have been seen or heard till the next mora- ing, when the door of Mr. P.’s bed-room, left open at right angles to the wall the night before, was nearly closed. His desk was found open. A key that locked the upper part of the desk was found in the . lock of the open part, and would lock and unlock it. The money and jewelry were gone. The front door, that had been locked the Teht before, was open little way. A window in the front parlor that con- nected with the room in which the desk was situated, was raised. Marks as of the fingers of some ong standing inside, were found in the green paint on the window sill. A bench that had been used in paint ing on the outside, and which the night before was Jett out by the fence, as the witness thought, was sloge to the open window. No ruspicions fell upon the prisoner after these facts were carefully noted, until, by the advice of the neightors, and some faith on his own part, Mr. P., in compady with Dr. Symonds, of Walliagford,went, on the 2sth, to consult one Mary Rich, of Durham, a yore girl of thirteen, who ‘s, or pretends to be, sub- ject to the mesmeric influence, and who, after the sleep had been induce by her father, told Mesars. Parmelee and Symonds thé the servant girl living in the family of Mr. P. had taken the miasing articles, that ehe had thrown the watt and jewelry into s well in the rear of his house, aq had burnt the movey. Mr. P. returned, drew out the water from the designated well, and found the watch and jewel just ashe had been told he would. He tray Joo! in the fireplace over which the stove pipe Went into the chimney, and found some very light ashes,.3 of tissue Tener burnt, that had dropped apparenty from the pipe. He found out of doors a slip or writing paper, with a hole burned in the mid- dle, and with “ Meriden Bank, $100,” writton on it. He had the night before $220 of Meriden bank bills, But before Mr. P. returned, his wife had noticed some little circumstances thut led her to suspect the prisoner was guilty. She sent the prisoner up staira to do a trifling job, and she remained longer than was necessary. A lamp filled with fluid—a 4 that she had told the prisoner not to use had been ued, and was not more than half full. The prisoner had placed a stick of wood ou a bed of coals in the stove, and got some brown paper trom the brick oven cloee by, and put in the stove with it. She alsa ed if the painters might not have taken the things. The prisoner was then suspected. She was accused and sent acroes the road to the sheriff’s house. She denied all knowledge of it. But after some conversation with various persons,and ee others, with the servant in the sheriff's family, whom she told, when they were alone together, that ‘as God would be her judge, she was innocent as the child unborn, but she'd own to it because Mrs. Parmelee felt so,” she confessed hervelf guilty to Mra. Parma- lee, detailing the circumstances with minuteness. This confession she phones once or twice, and also when she was brought betore Justice Ives, of Wallingford, by whom she was committed for trial. Such were the facts. The clairvoyant appeared upon the stand, and tee tified that sane knew nothing whatever of the matters didn’t remember saying a word to any one in regard to the money. The trial closed on Saturday. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Ives of Wallingford, and by the State’s Attorney, Mr. Stoddard, with a zeal, fair ness and ability that did them credit. The defence was conducted by Mr. Foster, of this city, and Mr. Chapman of ford, with more than their usual tact and eloqnence, and with the earnest- ness of an entire conviction of her innocence. The latter gentlemen were particularly severe upon mesmerism, or clairvoyance, as means of evidence in courts of justice, the former declaring that the intelliggmce manifested must come from God, man, or theMevil. Ifthe jury were satisfied it came from God, they of course must treat it with the reverence due to its author; if from man, it must be explained more satisfactorily than this has been before it can ain credence; and if from the devil, his honor the foie will charge you that he has nothing to do with lawyers or courts of law. The latter commented on itin his most pungent style, and said “he would leave itin di t.”” His whole, speech, occupying two hours and a half, was able, eloquent, and very ingenious. After the charge of the Jndge the jury retired, and after a consultation of some fifteen minutes, ret: with a verdict of not guilty. Police Intelligence.
