The Funeral Of Mazzinps Mother There Is ...
unusual number of people ; at six precisely the procesa ge _(; out from the Piazza del Carmine , and proceeded through a dense crowd down the Strada Nuova , Carlo Fe lsice , Piazza S . Domenico , Strada Guitia . There were present representatives of the Ligurian Association of naval commanders , and six American naval captains stood round the bier , the pall was upheld by ladies ana women of the people . The coffin was entirely covered with garlands of cypress , myrtle , and immortelles , mingled with tricoloured flowers and ribbons , some brought by the ladies some presented by the various associations . Nearly the whole of the emigration was present , uniting with the citizens in mourning for the mother of an Italian , himself an exile for upwards of twenty years .
The evening was far advanced , and the darkness only faintly broken by the light of the waxen tapers , contrasting with the melancholy shadows of the Campo Santo . The body was accompanied by many naval commanders with their equipages , and all the American and English vessels , and one Danish ship in the port of Genoa , hoisted their flags half-mast high in sign of mourning and respect . All present , and most of all the working classes , vied with each other in rendering the solemn cortege as imposing as possible . If the heart of our exiled and illustrious fellow-citizen , who has ever loved his mother with such
heroic affection and filial devotion , can receive comfort under this heavy blow—if any consolation can temper the bitterness of this terrible misfortune—it will be the knowledge of the extreme sympathy and reverence shown by the Genoese people around the bier of his mother . The procession was beaded by the band of the National Guard , which deserves great praise for the judicious selection of the music . After them , came the companies of working men belonging to all the associations of Genoa and St . Pier d ' Arena , each society distinguished by particular orders and symbols , and among them , were seen many French workmen .

Robert Owen's Address To The Electors Of...
ROBERT OWEN'S ADDRESS TO THE ELECTORS OF OLDHAM . Mr . Owen has proposed himself as a candidate for the suffrages of the Oldham constituency , in an address dated Seven Oaks , the 2 nd of August , wherein he enumerates various grounds upon which he claims their support . Prominent among these are bis labours in the improvement of tbe condition both of tbe children aud workpeople in the cotton mills , and of the mills themselves ; his invention and introduction of rational infant schools , and his introduction of the first fine cotton spinning by machinery ; and be claims to be " one of the first and most efficient advocates for
employing and educating the people , by properly placing them , instead of keeping them in ignorance and forcing them to be idle , and thus making them to become vicious and miserable paupers . " And he declares that if they will elect him " without expense and the trouble of canvassing , " he will endeavour to advocate the " allimportant and everlasting truths" of his system " in Parliament in such a manner as shall convince all the members of the House of Commons , and shall bring
them over to my views ; and by convincing the members of that House , a solid foundation will be laid for making these great truths known to , and received by , the population of the world . " And he winds up with the following paragraph : — " It is true that I am old ; hut I am not yet past good and substantial public service . If , however , you have a younger candidate that can effect more for the good of the people , —elect him hy all means . "
Emigration Doings. Emigration" Is Still ...
EMIGRATION DOINGS . Emigration" is still one of the most striking facts of the day . A public meeting for the purpose " forming Ji great national working man ' B co-operative emigration society , on sound and philanthropic principles , " was held on Monday night at tho National Hall , Holborn . Tho chair was taken by Mr . li . li . Cabbell , M . P ., and letters from Mr . Donald Nicoll , tho Karl of Harrowby , Mr . Apsley Pellatt , and Sir James Duke , apologizing for not attending at the meeting , were read .
I bo prospectus of the proposed socioty , which was road by Mr . Walter , the secretary , stated that the object was to raise a " first scries of capital of 50 , 0001 ., _> n shares of 11 . each , " each of which shares would en-* 'itlo the holder to a free passage to Australia in duo s _uccessiem , to bo decided by immediate ballot . Two thousand frco passages were to be provided at once , » nd , according to the calculation of the projectors , one in twent y-five of tho shareholders might depart immediately for Australia , without further expense . A resolution
waa carried pledging tho meeting to give J ho society their best support and co-operation , when ho meeting took a vory strange and unaccountable turn . « r . Harris , who is stated to bo tho agent of an _eniitfrunt _' _s rcgiHtration office , _nfllrmed that , on the principle 'tiel down in the prospectus , it would take fifty years J" _hoiuI out tho whole 50 , 000 subscribers . He went on to expose some uppuront inconsistencies in tho _pro-Jpctiis , and pronounced tho affair to be a gross _deception .

amendment , that , in the opinion of the meeting , the plan of Mr . "Walter was totally unworthy of their support . Tbis was carried by a large majority with great applause , and the meeting separated . The Blaekwall sailed from Gravesend on Monday for Port Philip , conveying thirty-tbree women who are sent out by means of the Female Emigration Fund . This is the twenty-sixth party which has been sent out by means of this organization . They appeared to bave been taken from various classes of society ,. and seemed generally of a superior and more intelligent character than those who went out with the earlier parties .
The rate which has been voted by the parish of St . Martin ' _s-in-the-Fields for the purpose of sending out paupers will raise the sum of 1000 / . Tenders for the outfit have already been sent in and decided upon . The applicants for a passage have been submitted to a medical examination , and fifty-two have been reported as healthy in body , and of n _^ pral and exemplary character .
Grievances Of Ballast-Heavers. The Morni...
GRIEVANCES OF BALLAST-HEAVERS . The Morning Chronicle of Wednesday brings forward a complaint against the system of public-house agency under which tbe London ballast-beavers are employed . For the last three years great efforts have been made to obtain an act for their relief similar to that passed respecting the coal-wbippers . Indeed , at one time the Right Hon . H . Labouchere , the late President of the Board of Trade , pledged himself most distinctly to a deputation of tbe ballast-heavers tbat he would bring in a bill for the establishment of a public office , from
whence the men might be employed , and thereby enjoy the right of devoting tbeir earnings to their own benefit , instead of having them absorbed , as they are at present , by the publicans , their employers . This intention was never carried out , through the resignation of the Whig Government . A bill to remedy this evil was brought in by Mr . George Thompson , the late Member for the Tower Hamlets , but for some cause the matter was allowed to drop . It is stated that the condition of the poor men is now worse than ever . A committee sit weekly for the purpose of keeping public attention directed to tbe matter .
The Stockport Riots. The Trial Of The Ri...
THE STOCKPORT RIOTS . The trial of the rioters commenced last week , at Chester , before Mr . Justice Crouvpton . Seven out of the ten Irish prisoners appeared ; the rest forfeited their bail . The evidence was much the same as that pro-, duced before tbe magistrates . All of them were found \ guilty of rioting ; Murphy of maliciously wounding , and Naughton of assault . The English prisoners were next tried . An alibi was proved , to the satisfaction of the jury , in regard to most of them , and testimony was given of the good character of some of them . The jury acquitted Slater , Edwards , Preston , Thomas Walker , Birch , Williamson , and William Walker ; and found Pell , Buttery , and Gleave , guilty . Testimonials given of the good characters of Gleave and Pell .
Mr . Justice Crompton , in passing sentence upon the prisoners , said that he hoped their guilty comrades would not escape , and that he had no doubt that further investigations would take place . Gleave , he said , had been concerned in all the outrages ; be had been seen stirring tho firo in front of Mr . Frith ' s house , and corning out of the vestry of the chapel . A short time after , ho was seen breaking into the houses of the Ronton Catholics in another part of tho town . His sentence was two years' imprisonment with hard labour . George Pell , who was seen demolishing the chapel , was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour ; George Buttery received the same sentence .
The judge then pronounced sentence upon the Irish prisoners . Thomas Murphy , who had committed a brutal outrage upon an unoffending man , which , if carried a little further , might have caused bis death , was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for fifteen months . Fecney , who was seen acting us ringleader , was to ho imprisoned for ten months with hard labour . Patrick Nuughton _was . sentoned to six months '
imprisonment un < l hard labour ; Thomas Garvey and Patrick O'Hara to four months ; Roger M'Derniott to three months ; and Michael M ' Derniott to two months . Matthew Mulligan was then tried for the murder ol Michael Moran . Tho evidence givem was , in general , tho same us that published before in the account of the magistrates' investigation .

Six Milk Imilxlk: Vehdict. Tnk Jury Retu...
SIX MILK _imilXlK : VEHDICT . TnK jury returned their vordict on Wednesday . The jury having come into court , the foreman announced that twelve of tho jurors had agreed to a particular finding , and they resolved to havo tho vordict drawn up in a legal form .
Six Milk Imilxlk: Vehdict. Tnk Jury Retu...
The Coroner then read the finding , as follows : — "' We are satisfied that John C . Dehnege , J . P ., John Gleeson ( first ) , James Postings , William Barnes , John Thompson , John Dwyer , James Sharpe , Thomas Clarke , and John Carter , soldiers of the 31 st Regiment , are guilty of the wilful murder of Jeremiah Frawley . '" Five jurors dissented from tbe verdict . Their names are—John Holmes , R . B . Walton , William Mahon , William Morris , and Patrick Mahon .
Mr . William Mahon stated , that although they had not agreed to tbe above verdict , they did not acquit the soldiers of all criminality , and that they would all have agreed to a verdict of manslaughter by soldiers whose persons were not identified ,. The five dissentient jurors also acquitted Mr . J . C . Dehnege of having either fired himself or given any orders to fire . The jury were then requested to again retire and consider their verdict as to the cause of death in the
other cases , —namely , Michael Connellan , Michael Colman , Thomas Ryan , James Casey , and James Flaherty . Mr . Graydon then applied to have the eight soldiers admitted to bail . In consequence of the extraordinary and incredible verdict which had been given in , against even the opinion intimated in the coroner's charge , it would be necessary to make such an application immediately to- the Queen's Bench ; hut he apprehended that it was in the discretion of the coroner to allow
bail to be given for them , and he submitted that it was a case in which the coroner should exercise , in favour of those men , the jurisdiction which he ( Mr . Graydon ) would show by legal authority that he possessed . Another ground on which he pressed bis application was , that the jury had not been regularly impanelled , no precept having been issued to the sub-inspector of police to summon a jury , except in the case of Frawley . The coroner said it should be remembered that the five dissentient jurors had stated that they would have brought in a verdict of manslaughter , in which case , if it were civilians he was dealing with , he should have no hesitation in issuing a warrant . He could make . no distinction between a red coat and a dark one , but was there to do his duty fairly , but firmly , to all parties .
Mr . Graydon pressed the application , but the coroner decided upon refusing it . The jury having returned similar verdicts in the other cases , the requisition was engrossed in due form . The coroner then issued his warrant for the arrest of tbe persons implicated in the verdict , and it was entrusted for execution to Sub-Inspector Donovan and a party of constabulary , by whom the eight soldiers were conducted to Ennis gaol . Mr . Delmege was not present in the court .
Orange Processions An Orange Procession ...
ORANGE PROCESSIONS An Orange procession was announced to take place in Liverpool on the 12 th instant , in commemoration of the battle of Aughrim . The magistrates issued a notico prohibiting the procession , and a body of police were drawn up at the starting place to suppress it . A procession set out from one place , two of the men carrying naked swords , and others having small sticks , with the Bible and crown on the points . The superintendent of police called upon them to disperse , and the
Orangemen retired . The polico soon after met two other processions , and the men refusing to disperse , fourteen of them were taken into custody . Several of these were found to have loaded pistols in their possession , one man saying , " They were weapons be meant to use . " It docs not seem that any resistance was offered to tho police . Mr . Mansfield committed all the prisoners for trial . They were admitted to bail on their own recognizances of forty shillings each , finding each two sureties of twenty shillings .
