where " ii & poitarit events , not precisely the suppression , but certainly great modifications of the ieonstitutiqn , " aria said to be preparing . The objects of these- modifWations are it is stated , the repeal of several laws passed by the [ Liberal ministry , the increase of the royal power , and the admission of the cathblio party to offibes of state , from wliich they are at present excluded . The "wish is father to the thdiight , but the realization , we believe , very distant . The Second Chamber of the Duchy of' Hesse has receive d-a . message from the Government , relieving it from the duty of deliberating upon a bill for regulating the pi-ess , inasmuch as a press law for all Germany will soon be promulgated by the German Diet . Whenever Frederick William of Prussia rises to the

-The subjoined extract from the correspondence of the Daily News gives a , fair notion of the manner in which justice is administered at Naples . The political trials for the affair of May 15 , 1848 , are still dragging on ' : and the nature and method of the evidence fot the accusation is thus described :- — "OxcO of the jnost glaring instances of the naeans used to inciiminate the accused came out from a soldier , a certain Carpentieri , brother of the celebrated paid denouncer of that name . He stated thatj on the 14 th and 15 th of May he had seen all the prisoners forming and fighting at the barricades ( one of the accused , M . Leopardi , was at Turin at that time ) . After this assertion , a prisoner , M . Viscusi , rose and presented the court with " a certificate of service , " signed by the colonel of this witness ' s regiment ,
and General Saluzzi , which proved that the soldier Carpontieri , on the 14 th and 15 th Of May , was on duty in the barracks ! The court was obliged to accept this document , because it was a military declaration , " Another witness declared he had seen one of the prisoners kill 50 Swiss soldiers on the 15 th of May , whereupon the accused reminded the court that the official report Btated that only 45 Swiss had fallen on that day . " Such is the character of most of the evidence brought forward by the crown . Whether any or all of tho accused under trial did or did not take part in the events of May 15 is a question ; one thing , however , is quite certain , that the means employed to prove their guilt is the most degrading and illegal that could bo employed in a court of justice . ,
" More than one prisoner has declared to the court that thoy knew their fate ; but that which has alarmed the accused most , is tho retirement of his Majosty to Q-aeta , where ho refuses audiences . So , should tho prisoners bo condemned to death , no ono would be permitted to approach the throne on behalf of the unhappy victims of tho constitution of 1848 . " Tho Queon of Portugal returned to Lisbon on tho 2 nd instant , and on tho 4 th wont in stato to tho cathedral , to a To Beum in thanksgiving for her safo arrival . Her appoaranco caused littlo onthusiasm on the part of tho people .

"Looking to the future , I cannot advise my brother agriculturists to expect the re-enactment of a corn law as existed previous to the year 1846 , but we have a right to demand that which I have every reason to believe the present Government arc prepared to propose , namely , some well-matured and comprehensive measure or measures ( at the earliest period after the new Parliament has assembled ) by which the taxation of the country may be more fairly proportioned , agriculture relieved , and the laborious and honest exertions of the farmer more amply remunerated . If aggressions are made on our holy religion , as a Protestant I am determined to resist them .
