The Semaphore of Marseilles states that a letter from Rome had reached that port , announcing that three British men-of-war had arrived at Ancona , to protect Mr . Murray , sentenced to death by the tribunal of the Consiilta . It appears by a letter ' received by the uncle of Murray , living in the Mornington-road , from Mr . Moore , the British consul at Ancona , that he does not expect that the extreme penalty of the law will be inflicted on Murray , whom he considers innocent of the dreadful crime imputed to him . He adds that the universal voice in Ancona is against him , and that he stands singular in his opinions reerardiner him , which has led to many hot disputes with
the local authorities and others . He thinks Murray has been very imprudent , and his imprudence has led to the present deplorable results . He considers his life perfectly safe liow , but how far he can proceed in demanding his liberation he does not yet know , for the fact of his having been a paid agent of the Papal police during the revolutionary turmoil in the country weakens his hands in defending him . Mr . Freeborn , the British consul at Borne , also writes : — " My private opinion is , that Murray ' s sentence will be commuted , his life saved , and ultimately his liberty obtained , but unfortunately he has brought himself into his present perilous situation by acts of the most reprehensible imprudence .

Mr . Winston ' s case was part heard yesterday in the Arches Court . ' Yesterday , the thirty-seventh anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo was celebrated , as usual , b y a banquet at Apsley House . " The Duke" was in excellent health and spirits . Eight Waterloo men have died since the last banquet . A meeting was yesterday held at the Literary and Scientific Institution , Aldersgate-street , over which Sir . Peter Laurie presided , to adopt measures for the suppression of betting-houses in the city of London . The business of the meeting was commenced by a resolution , moved by Mr . Ward , that a petition be presented to Parliament for their
suppression , whioh was seconded by Mr . Batty , and carried unanimously . Mr . Mottram and Mr . T . Woodward then addressed the meeting , the latter gentleman pointing out at some length the evils resulting from the present system of gambling ; after which Mr . De Jersey followed in the same spirit j and Sir P . Laurie and Mr . F . T . Norris having also spoken , a resolution that a petition to the Legislature be prepared was carried , and the meeting broke up . Last night , Mr . Gr . S . Brent held fan inquest , at the Duke of Clarence , Gray ' s-inn-lano , upon Jonathan Nicholls , a schoolmaster , aged 61 . Deceased , whoso body was a mere skeleton , had been formerly a aohoolinastor , but was latterly so reduced as to be compelled to earn his livelihood by writing window bills for tradesmen , and with all his industry , sometimes only realized a fow pence a week .
The parish allowed a loaf a week tor tup support ot mmseu and his wife , who is paralysed . During the last twelve months deceased was dail y sinking from sheer starvation , but still buoyed up with the hope of getting somo property to which ho was entitled . On Monday morning his wife found him dead in bod at her side . The following day he bocamo entitled to 1201 . cash , and 601 . a year . The foreman , on bohalf of the jury , expressed their horror and disgust at tho parochial authorities limiting the support of deceased and his paralysed wife to a solitary loaf of broad a week , instead of inquiring into their wants , and contributing a sufficient quantity of food for thoir support . Tho coroner summed up , and tho jury returned a vordict
in accordance with tho medical ovidonco , , and aqcomparucd by the following addendum : — " And the jurors express their opinion that tho applicants for relief on this parish ought uniformly bo visited by proper officers by order of tho paroohial authorities , immediately after tho application for relief , and from time to time afterwards , so long as they aro in receipt of that relief , in order that tho extent of thoir wants may bo ascertained . " Tho Metropolitan Association for Improving tho Dwellings of tho Industrious Classes held its annual mooting yoBtorday afternoon at Willis ' s Booms , and Sir Ralph Howard' presided . Thoro was a very small attondanoo of shareholders , but among thorn wore tho Earl of Carlisle , Lord Robert Grosvonor , Viscount Ebrincfton , Earl
Fitsswilliam , and several ladies of distinction . Tho Chairman , in opening tho proceedings , stated a number of facts , which wont to bIiow that tho uii'uirs of tho association aro becoming remunerative in a poouniary point of view , and that thoso who hayo invested thoir money in tho undertaking may look forward honcoibrth to tho prospect of a moderate diyidond .

The xepbrt' speaks favourably of the progress made by- the Ramagate and' Brighton branches of the Association , and expresses regret that other towns have not availed themselves of the benefits which the Association offers . In a sanitarypoint of view , the exertions of the Association haye been attended with great success- ^ -the mortality among children especially having been reduced one-half below the usual average of the metropolis . Under all the circumstances , tiae directors considered themselves justified in announcing a dividend of three per cent , pn the capital invested ; and though the fond of 1926 ? . available for this purpose was swelled out )> y an atoount of 431 Z . in hand at the last annual meeting , the chairman stated that a yearly dividend of 2 £ per cent , might now be looked upon as certain . Not more than hah ? of the 100 , 000 ? . capital which
the association is authorized to raise has yet been invested ; but it is anticipated that the whole can be advantageously laid out with the existing management and staff , and that an economy will thus be effected , which will make the returns 3 ^ or even 4 per cent . Both the chairman and the Earl of Carlisle pointed out very clearly this view of the case , and from their statements and the report , it was made pretty evident that the association is gradually assuming a good and safe financial position . At present their chief difficulty and loss is with the Albert-street Chambers , which , &om some unexplained cause , do not seem to let well . It is hoped , however , that any prejudice which the industrious classes may have found with regard tq them may be shortly overcome , and in the meantime the directors will confine their efforts to providing dwellings for families . The report having been adopted ) the proceedings terminated .

I t will remain recorded as a proud fact in tho annals of the Admiralty , that this gallant ship has at length completed the run in only twice tho time taken b y an ordinary commercial steamer . The Hellespont sailed a fortnight after tho Megeera , and arrived about a fortnig ht before her . The total time occupied by tho commercial steamer was thirty-five days — Her Majesty ' s screw steamer took 61 days to accomplish the same distance This may indeed bo considered as a
triumph . Wo invite attention , however , to the performances of an emigrant sailing ship , " the Bride , " Captain Nattrass , which made tho passage from Plymouth to Port Phillip in soventy-nvo days , that is to say , in only fourteen days moro than tho timo occupied by Her Majesty ' s steam ship Megcera in tho run homo from tho Cape . Tho Bride —a rricro sailing ship—reached tho Capo on hor outward voyago in forty-four days ; tho Megeera , with steam power , accomplished tho homeward run in sixty-one days . This , however , may bo considered a great success for tho Admiralty .
On Wednesday ovoning , about 5 o clock , an accident , attended with loss of life to one person , and serious injury to another , 'occurred in the tunnel connooted with Spital Tongues Colliery , noar Nowcastlo-upon-Tyno . This tunnol , which is about two miles in length , passes under tho northern part of tho town of Newcastle , and is used exclusively for tho conveyance of coals from tho colliery to tho rivor Tyno . Somo repairs wore going on in tho tunnel , and as its breadth is only just euiliciont to allow a wagon to pass along , orders luia boon sont to tho colliery that no wagon was to bo sent down aftor ton o ' clock on Wednesday . Thoso ordors had , unfortunately , boon misunderstood . About live o ' clock , Messrs . Arkloss , colliery viowors , and a utaithsman nainod W . Armstrong Ooulmm , proeoodod up tho tunnel from tho ond next tho rivor to look aftor tho repairs , and aftor they had got a good way up , to their surpriso and horror they hoard tho noiso of a loadod wagon rapidly approaching .

corresponding prpjet de fo * 7 already accepted b y the French legislative corps , did _ not render French or English subjects in Paris arnenable for offences committed in OEngland against the French Government ; his assurance being contradicted by the simultaneous enforcement of that very Jaw in Paris . We saw him under these aspects : this week we have a new
appear-M . TUB COMTE DE MAIiMESBUitr , HIS ALLIES , AND ACCOMPLICES . Unhappily , the principle which seems to have actuated Lord Malmesoury in Florence and in Vienna , is illustrated by bis conduct in Paris . We saw him last week endeavouring to persuade the Peers to pass a statute , which , bore every characteristic oi &projetde loi of JJouis Napoleon ' s Government . We next saw him , against the argument of Lord Brougham , assuring the P ^ ers that the
ance . On Friday , Lord llalmesbury appearedbefore the House of Lords ; offering an amended version of his Surrender of Criminals Convention with France Bill , under which jie proposed that the Secretary of State should not issue a warrant for the detention of a prisoner immediately after his arrest , but shoula allow delay , in order to be satisfied of the identity of the accused . This was no real concession . On the previous debate , the Peers had not objected to giving up a criminal without Tiroof of identitv , but to giving him up
without proof that he had been criminal in a sense of the word at least analogous to the English meaning . The English Peers required , m short , that the convention should be one to give up offenders against the criminal law , and not mere offenders against the dominant political faction . They objected , for example , to give up a General Cavaig ' nac , under some constructive pretence that he was an ordinary criminal ; and although it might be proved , ten times over , that he was the General Cavaignac intended by the French police , still their objection would hold
LordMalmesbury ' sconcession , however , hasono very important meuning , —it proves , beyond mistake , that he did not understand the objection ot the Peers , —that he could not enter into tno toolings of English Barons , refusing to give up a political refugee claimed by the Government pursuing him . " Hitherto / says Lord Aberdeen , " tho laws of this country havo afforded to foreigners the same protection as to natives , ana now it is proposed to make a now provision as respects foreigners" : now it is evident , irom tno tuat

a promTao of a French official against a British statute , ho observed , — " Nothing could bo done " they did not believe in tho lionour of a gontiornan . " Ho modo a still moro enticing promise . " If thoir lordships would give him euoh power as would cnablo him to altor the present law , anu . to enter into a now convention , such convontiou could bo drawn up with tho French ambassador in twontv . fonr houra : mid ho was authorized vy
