last ntght, between 10 and 1 1 ticlork, a man was s ubbed in the Via Maria de' F i ori, behind the Pa- I lehri. and a hundred rumours are already s pread al7rocttl concerning the deed. to which a ph (3,1,141r is generally given, on account of the dc rased hating either lain a shirr,' himself, or having bad relations to that much detested brotherhood, and li b., front the circumstance of his having made himself con victions in smoking contrary to the present practice of the liberals; but horn the amount I have received , from eyewitnesses of the riftlAir, and from persons *hi were present before the corpse was vet cold, it appears that grime jealous quarrel about women, the cause of nine-teuths of the homicide,' in Rome, was the origin of his murder. The baker. Filonardi, was standing at the dour of his shop in the Via Condotti, opptsite the cerner of the Via Maria de' Fiori, enjoy ing the cool air of the beautiful moonlight night, when he suddenly heard cries of distreas, and saw a clan 'tming towards hint down the Via Mario de Fi..ri.pursued by two others. The first ran directly into Lis shop. and fell down on the floor which he deluged with blnod„ exclaiming with his dying voice, Help, far the love of God! take me to the hospital of San Giacomo?' The baker's men attempted to raise him and support him into the street, bat he again maggeied fell, and expired. The commis s ary of police of the tprirter was -taut on the spot, and from the accounts of some neighbours, who knew the de svased, seemed to infer that he had been detected in some intrigue, and received from the poignant of a jealous rival the wound in hi, temple which caused' his death ; an inference strengthened by the deceased's I , dehaucicd character, although he was a married man, and by the fact that he had narrowly escaped violent death on previous similar occasions, and that his hand was horribly scarred by a knife which he succeeded in wresting fonn an aggressor whose fury had been aroused against him for a similar offence. It is im portant to mention these particulars, as no doubt the whole affair will is: attributed to the violence of re publican party spirit. ROME, MAY 16. The precautions at present observed both by the French and ecclesiastical authorities, could nut be greater if the Romans bad risen up with arms in their Muds once more to oem throw the chair of St. Peter, and (hive its triple-crowned occupant again to the hospitable shores of Gaeta and l'ortici. The general disarming of the people and the con- Rtication not only of the few fowling pieces left by the jealousy of the police, but also of the walking sticks of the Corso loungers, have not sufficed to calm the fears of General Getman, whose patrols, in company with police agents, begin perambulating the city as soon as it is dark, arresting, searching, and annoying the praisers by. The uneasiness of the government at the unanimous resolution of the inha bitants not to smoke any longer, is displayed by the following document, published this morning and pasted on the walls for the edification of the public: NOTlnrATtori.

CAIIIANAL ANTONILLI. UNITED STATES. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, the British and North American Itoval Mail ate...a-ship Niagara. Captain Stone, arrive:ll in the Mersey,having left Bos.ton at noon on the 14th, with 9'2 passenger., and Halifax on the Stith, at 3.3 A.m. Among the pas sengers are M. Bali le Comte, the late French am bassador and his suite. The Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria had arrived at Halifax on the 13th, and sailed for Boston. The Pacific having left New York on the Saturday previous to the departure of the Niagara, the actual news brought by this arrival is scanty and unimportant, extending only to two business days further than we had previously ma rived. The Arctic steam-ship arrived at New York on bunday. the 11th inst. The projected Cuban expedition, which was an ima:tied as being wholly broken up, has not. it would appear been entirely abandoned, us we learn that it was not the intention of the leaders to actually orga nise the expedition in North America, hut to sail un organised to some point beyond the boundaries of the United States, and there make such arrange ments as should be deemed expedient. A good deal of excitement was produced in New York Oil Saturday, by the announcement that the United States Government had chartered a steamer to lease New York with a force of 700 men. It was not known whether this vessel was destined to sup press rebellion in South Carolina or to prevent the Invasion of Cuba, although rumour spoke confidently of both purposes. According to the best informa tion, it seems that this vessel has been chartered at the suggestion of the United States authorities in livw York, to cruise along the coast between this Wort and Savannah. One of the ('hagres steamers, Ow Crescent City, is the vessel engaged for the "emits:. A destructive tire occurred on the 22nd ult. at t;anta Fe, by which the Exchange, with all its out- Louses, &e., was burned to the ground. The loss is astimated at upwards of 20.000 dollars. A curious commentary, however, is appended to the report given in the Near York Tribsue, which we subjoin : The tire has proved very injurious to Santa ke, as the Exchange was the principal gambling and drinking place in town. You are aware, probably, that several murders have taken place in the Ex change. and a thousand tights beside. Mr. Green. of Missouri, one of the proprietors, was a most amiable man. and the public deplore his loss. Gambling still continues unabated." The Willis and Forrest case had been postponed until next term; it was said to be virtually aban doned. Jenny Linde concerts tantinued to he immensely elowdea. She is said to have been received with the SAM(' warmth and enthusiasm as of old. The desire to hear her is greatest among those who have seen her ulltmeat. We have not yet received any tidings of the new Philadelphia steamer, the Lafayette, which has been daily expected in Liverpool. Our correspondent writes : NEW YORK, MAY 13. Our news from South Carolina wears the same sombre aspect of my last advices. Secession will be attempted, cost wh e at it may, before many months are incr. This question of secession once raised, may haw a resolution that uo one can well foresee. if South Candinti Cull escape her share of the gene ral responsibility of treaties and laws, other states may follow tier example. In connexicu with this% Kt me add that the Crescent Ltity, and several other vessels at this port have been suddenly chartered by the government, to convey about 00 seamen and artillery-men to some place unknown. T he opinions as to this movement are various. One is, that a hostile move ment on Hayti is intended, but those acquainted with our political institutions know very well that no such agirressive act can take place without the pre- vious consent of congress. This explains the reason why we are so slow to revenge ourselves on our ma-Mu' enemies. As long as Soulouque, under cover of law, imprisons an American sea captain, he ie pertetly safe, provided he does not assault our national vessels. If he would only fire a shut, our nnal officers would knock his towns on the coast " a cocked hat," but they dare not do anything! but scold. until congress pass a law justifymg re pri-41, and a resort to tome. This is the key tosail our rn.d operations. and a good ninny marauders has`' I• rind it out. Our naval officers have been brukta fur taking the national honour into their per mono! keeping. I am inclined to think the expedition is either against the Cuban pirates, or to stiengthen the forts in Charleston harbour. We had information yesterday afternoon that one band of Cuban invaders had actually succeeded in getting on board a steamer, on the dth inst., near Cape Henry. They were 31X) strong, had be en en-' gaged in regular drills, and appeared to be entirely foreigners. We have no information of any other parties having sailed from any southern ports. The President of the United States, accompanied 'by several member s of his cabinet, arri ve d here to " day, and were received with every honour in the power of the city to bestow. Our volunteer corps. and all our principal societies and associations were out, and his march through the streets was signalled by the music of forty thlferent bands. To-morrow he is to as,i , t in the inauguration of the Sew York and Erie Railroad—the greatest work of internal improvement ever projected and completed in this country. It is an occasion which will test his per sonal popularity to a very great extent. We have Tampico dates to the 26th of April. The Mexican Congress had agreed to place a lighthouse on Alieranot, and to give donations of money to the soldiers wounded in the last war. As I write this 1 have ascertained that the Crescent City has not yet sailed, as was confidently stated yesterday. She is, however, lying at her wharf with steam up, and under seer.:t orders. Our a'aniversaly meeting,' of religious societies have closed. These all appear to be in a thriving condition, mid they admit that the money received by them from the American public during the last year is over one million and a half of dollnrs. tVithin the last three (lays 1,351 emigrants have arrived at this port; over 1,155) of these arc Irish.

From the rapid voyages recently made, both by this line of steamers and the Pacihc, belonging to the United States Company, the comparative rates of sailing have grown into a market fur speculation quite as much as the duty on hops, the Derby Stakes, or the St. Leger, and we now find Asia against Pacific, with the same nunchalrme th.at the field is taken a-zainst the favorite, or rice reran, at Epsom.

D. 11.twr.s. Colonial.ottice, Downiorr..treet, May 19, ISSI. curl O' A DENP VP !I FlOol LIEU? -fitIVERNUIt SIR W. . _ ,1 •: T.. EARL ORLY: Van 1iii111,1 . 4 Lend, Government House, Jan. I I, 1851 (received May 2, lWil). Lortn,—ln my despatch, Ni. 175, dated Use. 11, 1849, I informed your lordship that I had, in accordance with the iustruetions a-manmade:aced to me in two deqedehes, marked contact:mint of dues sth and 27th of Jun.., 1819, issued to the eons - acts named in the margin tickets-of leave, upon n distinct engagement on their part th tt they would nut make use of the comparative liberty which the indulgence of a ticket of-leave would give, iu order to at tempt to escape from the colony. 2. I have now to report to your lordship that I Lave been obliged to withdraw this indultence from the three pri sonen named in the margin, in consequence of their mis conduct in :wting in direct disobedience of the regulations applicable to ticket-of-leave holders, and, ae a conquence of such withdrawal of indulgence, to send them to the sta tion on Tasman's Peninsula, where they is ill be subjected tot and labour for a period of three months. 3. I should not have thought it necessary to trouble your lordship with the details 11f apt ordinary question of convict discipline, had I not felt certain that the friends of these piisoners in Eu4land would strive to make out their case as one of great hardship, and would probably make some re ference to the subject in the Monaco( Commons, to which it would be desirable that the government should be in the position to make nn answer. 1. In my despatch, No. 175, before alluded to, I pointed ' out to your lordship the inconvenience which would proba bly arise from the unusual privileges conferred upon these prisonere, and I regret to say that my anticipations have been fully realised; tl.e inhabitants of the districts in which these min have resided hare looked rather to the conduct of the government in conferring certain indulgences up sit them than to the character of the otfence which has sub jected them to the punishment of transportation, and their pesition has, therefore, rather excited sympathy than any other feeling. This hes catenated even to the police mazistrates, whoss duty it is to sec that the prisoners com ply strictly with the usual convict regulations. These officers, who would under otalinary ciremustances sentence I a convict to three ow four months hard labour, ore content in the case of their men to admonish them, and they have thus been enabled in several instances to set the govern ment at defiance. This, however, wes a state of thing+ which could nut be allowed to continue, and as ditinct evidence was brought begunme of the fact that the three prisoners before mentioned had deliberately lett their districts without 1,1(e, and, in the case of M.:Vann., after I had twice refusA tint permissienb I directed their tickets-of-hare to be w ithatrawn, and sent them, as before stated, to tie convict statlan on Tasman's Peninsula, where they arc subjected to the ordinary rules of convict dis cipline. 5. In thus awarding, to these men a greater amount of punishment titan that to which they had been wain-awed by the pans magistrat s, 1 have only exercised a power vested me as lieutenant-governor, an d w hi c h h:e always been funnel essential to the Liaintenanee of proper order and dis cipline amongst the convicts. I may t +lse this opportunity of informing your lordship, that Smith O'Brien has accepted a ticket-of-leave for six months, upon the same conditions as those under which similar indulgences base been granted to his fellows.-1 have, &c., (Signed) W. DENISON. The Daly Xcirs thus continents on the foregoing: A veer curious document appears in another column of this day's impression : a delbatch from the governor of Van Diemen's Land to Earl GREY, intinuding that he has done something which he knows will expose him to blame, and calling upon government to defend hint. () , 11 s'exense s'aceitse, is a doctrine front which few dissent; and the pre sent cast is not likely to be held an exception from the general rule. When the six gentlemen, sentenced to transporta tion for their connexion with the Satins O'BRIEN insurrection, were sent to Van Diemen's Land, the governor was instructed to issue tickets of leave to them, upon their entering into an engagement not to avail themselves of their "comparative liberty " to attempt to map: from the colony. Sir \VILLEIN! Demobs has withdrawn their tickets of leave from three of the prisoners. Ile does not allege that they had made any attempt to escape from the colony; he does not even allege that he suspected them of an intention to make such an attempt. Their whole and sole offence consisted in leaving their districts without leave; in the ease of one of them, after leave had been asked and refused. This would be " sharp Factice" even as we have here stated the case ; but Sir %Titillates own account lot the matter shows that his conduct towards the prisoners has been wantonly provoking and op pressive. In the first place, with regard to their offence : It is clear that the governor has forgotten to draw the necessary distinction between political nnd ordi nate criminal °Hinders. lle says in his despatch that he had anticipated " inconvenience" front " the un usual privileges conferred upon these prisoners," iu other words, he wished to treat them as ordinary Mons, and he felt it " inconvenient " to be debarred the liberty of carrying out this praiseworthy intention. The governor hoes on to complain that the inhabi tants of the districts to which the prisoners wen: confined, and, horrible to relate! "even the police utagistrates," regarded the prisoners rather with sympathy than any other feeling. 'rite reason as signed by Sir WILLIAM hbr this sympathy is " the conduct of government in conferring certain indul gences upon them." It is new to be told that men are sympathised with because they are allowed to enjoy unusual indulgences: it is clear that the syin parity was excited by the grudging utanuer iu which the g o vernor obeyed his instructions to give these indulgences. It is not surprising that iu these cir cumstances the very best understanding should nut have existed between the governor and the prisoners. SirWi Witt DEN isoN was offended because the police magistrates, "who would underordinarycircumstances sentence a convict to three or four months' hard' labour, UM content, in the ease of these men, to admonish them;" and be therefore lay in wait for an excuse for doing what the police magistrates had too like a sense of justice to do. "This," he says, " was a state of things which could nut be allowed to Con tinue: and, as distinet evidence was brought before me of the fact that the three prisoners bethre-men tinned had deliberately left their districts without leave, and in the ease of 31'MA:sus ' after I had twice refused him permission, I directed their tickets of leave to be withdrawn, and sent them, us before stated, to the convict station on Tasman's Peninsula, where they are subjected to the ordinary rules of ' convict discipline." The last clause of the sentence we have just quoted outrages every feeling of common decency. Three individuals who have enjoyed the education, and have moved in the sphere of gentlemen—whose offence was political, free front any taint of felony— are condemned to herd with, and be treated as felons, ostensibly for a trifling breach of discipline, but, in reality-, because the police magistrates would not treat them as felons. " This state of things could not be allots - ell to continue:" that is the true reason why they have been subjected to " the ordi nary rules of convict discipline." Even this is not the worst feature of the ease : the trifling offence was not merely laid hold of with culpable haste, the prisoners were obviously provoked to commit it. The trifling indulgence of permission to pay a visit out side of his district was refused to NOlaNts : with rash, perhaps, but not unnatural indignation, he took the leave that was causelessly re fused; and the other two gentlemen did not put themselves to the trouble to ask what they knew would not be granted. This incident fully explains what Sir Wittaam DEsasos means when he saes that the prisoners had, " in several instances, set the government at defiance ;" they had resisted attempts to curtail the " comparative liberty " which the home government had given orders that they should enjoy. It is pretty clear, even from the ex parte statement of Sir %%lutist Di:slims, that he is better fitted by nature to have played the part of the keeper of a round-house in the days of Jo:camas WILD, than to be placed in charge of a modern well-regulated prison; and that ho is utterly incompetent to the delicate task of dealing with political offenders. :red making the necessary- distinc tion between them and felons. Ile has all the unscrupulous truculence of the gaolers of the old school who have been pillurised in the pages of FIELDING and SWUM. He is a worse and pal trier Sir HUDSON LOWE. The Colonial-office has rather au indifferent reputation, on account of the reckless manner in which it supports its nominees right or wrong; but we cannot bring ourselves to imagine that even the Colonial-office will endeavour to extenuate the extraordinary proceedings of Sir WILLIAM Dr'trsox.

PORTSMOUTH &MIMS' Haul:.—Tll the brief period that this excellent instititsion has been opened 200 casual residents have availed themselves of the advantages it offers. On Saturday 30 men Joliet off from the Asia joined it, placing all their spare cash, amounting in the whole to 4001., in the hands of the superintendent, Captain Johnston, for safe custody. This i. the hrst ship that has been paid off at Portsmouth since the establishment of the Sailors' Home at that port, and it is therefore gratifying to find that the tot n in her Majesty's navy appreciate its excellence.. Several of the men who joined it on Saturday have belonged to other Sedan' Homes at different times, and it consequently ap pears that they are glad to avail therwelres of the comfort and security fur their money which these institutions hold out.

W. and B. C. Park ill•Ots, cotton brokers, Liverpool. Ilamber had been eau.e of the number of the Parkinson's box at the Post office ; fur it appears from the evidence produced that he had seen a red card in their box, indienting a registered letter for the firm. This card he procured, awl presented to the clerk of the registered letter department, who gave the prisoner the letter, tiir receipt of which he wrote the signature Charles Boughton," in the book kept for the purpose. The investigation of this case rive rise to suspi cions, and led to au inquiry as to the disappearance of seve ral registered letters front the Liverpool Post-ottiee. The result has been that, ou Friday, Richard Bomber, the youth above referred to, was charged with having committed `CIT. ral additional robberies of registered letters from the Post offiee,which were obtained in the same manner as the one con taining the 6301. The signatures entered in the I'o.d-office book, as an acknowledgment of the receipt of the letters, were various. In the third case the prisoner wrote his own name. The registering and posting of the letters were proved by the different parties engaged in the matter. The receipt of the letters at the Post-otfice in Liverpool, and their delivery to the person signing for their receipt, were proved by clerks of the registered letter department in the Post-office, who produced the book bearing the signatures. The parties employed by the Liverpool firms to whom the letters were addressed proved the non-receipt of any regis tered lief , on the days the robberies took place. Mr. Edward Stallard, claw!: to Mr. Coupland, in whose service the prisoner was at the time the robberies were committed, swore to the signatures in the Post-office book and on re ceipts the Post-office send to London being in the hand writing of the prisoner. The prisoner was then committed fur trial at the assises.—Liv erpool Chronicle.

IRELAND. Dennis, MAY 21. The rescript said to have arrived from Rome, eon firming and approving the statutes of the Synod of Thurles, lets not yet made its appeAMICC, nor has any allusion lava mad e t o it i n the Fee , mon's Jour nal since that which I transmitted on Saturday last. The MIA t, the weekly ll a ma catholic organ, however, alludes to the matter es a thing about which there is no doubt, and further adds, that " not merely are the Thurles statutes confirmed. but new halls are to lie issued;" and that " parliament will not be risen when we shall have most, if not all, of the new liaglish secs, provided with bishops and eceksiastics consecrated for that end under colour of authority from the see of Home: " " The Pope," continues the TidiG t. "does not, of course, take this step to brave the English varliament, or to brave anybody ; but, having matked out a course for himself, he solves to walk steadily in it ; neither delaying nor hastening his steps, ignoring the English parliament as lie before ignored the Anglican lierasy ; deliberately, and s•dierly, doing his own work at his own time, when it seems most fitting and convenient fin• the spiritual well latingofthese over whom he rules." Still, notwithstanding the boastful and insolent toneef the rabid, the generality of people here seem mydt i tied on the subject, and no one appears to know the pre cise purport of the documents, whatever they may be, which have been received from the Roman see. Some progress would seem to be making with the limitation of a so-called Catholic Defenee :boccie ti,m," and the approbation of such a project by . some of the Romau cath die bishops is paraded in the newspapers. There appears, however. to be a lack of such men us enukl eth-ctively work such en orga nisation, and hitherto at least, the association has assumed no tangible form. It is arranged that the first pubiie meeting of the proposed association will take place on the 11/th of next month.

Some litimane persons going by saw the state of affair-, and they carried the coffin to the churchyard, where thsy fastened it to the branch of a tree to preserve it from slogs, until morning. It was then buried by the neighbour. The poor mother was so exhausted that she had to be broil ;lit sack to the workhouse in an stss's ear!

Tilt: Sret'Ess ATTENDANT tPoN THE PEAT OPERA TIONS ix InCLANn, and the dionanil which ha. arisen in these markets for peat charcoal, lue , Cans. d attention to be paid to its manufacture in Eughoill. Perhaps the peat-bogs of England have been mer: neglected than those of Ireland,' but them u is growing impression that their products are capable of utilisation. In Ireland, very naturally, the ap pheation of peat for fuel has claimed the must attention, but here, wle re thu supply of coal is abundant, and its Me general, and where even the artificial fuel, are dairfiy coin- 1 rased of coal, there is little opening far the manufacture of peat fuel. There is, however, another branch of applies. tion which has been eagerly 'wiz , . I upon, and that is the employment of peat charcoal in the pr. paration of manure. The competition to which the English farmer is subjected ha, led him to great exertions, and MI, produced a large de mand for artilichil mawares, as the MUMMA: trade, whiqh basso suddenly -prong up in guano, prone. We cannot, however, but regret that 10 little is done for appropriating and c-cononthing our home supplies. It is, indeed, is la mentable thing to consider, that in this metropolis alone manure sufficient to grow corn for two millions of I an beings is yearly wasted, will nay elheacious step being tak-n to remedy such xenon. waste. 'I he application of sewage manure for irrigation is a palliative of such partial application as to alined nothing like an adequate re medy. While we imported guano from abroad in DIM to the extant of 116,9'26 tons, and at a cost of 1,000,000 f., a much greater quantity of manure of equal quality was washed into the Thames to the de triment of the public health. Although no large measure is to be expectod, it is some satisfac tion to find that the authorities have given en couragement to the British Peat Charcoal and Manure Company. Th.: Duchy of Cornwall have made a grant of peat land on adrantagi ous terms, and there is some pros pect of obtaining einvict labour from the great Penitentiary on Dartmoor, end immediately alter obtaining the act of parliament works are to be commenced at Dartmoor and other station-. We cannot, however, but think that in a subject of such inyortanee the company should not be sub jected to the delay of obtaining an act of parliament, but that a charter should at once be granted by the govern. aunt, as there are no existing private interests which can be interfered with It is likewise stated that the extent of peat land in this island is upwarls of 2,090,000 of acres, af fording material of the greatest value to agriculture, if pro perly applied, and for which great encouragement ought to be given.—Doif!, Sera. TUE CIIAEGE AGAINST TUE MASTER OF ST. PANCRAS Wountsucse..—At a meeting of the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, held on Tuesday, Mr. Cr. W. F.

Eaton, the master of the workhouse. Ile (3(r. Cook) had to apply to the board for permission to employ and pay a person to cop y such documents and evidence as, from the vast amount of other business on hand at that moment, it ma+ impossible he could do so without assist ince, as the evidence alone would make one hundred brief sheets. Indeed, lately there were so many einiununications from the poor-law board, that it required one clerk alone to answer them. Mr. T. 11. Smith should most certainly object to sending the origiaal documenv.—The Chairman said that they hail forwarded the original documents in the ca., of the chil dren going to Bc =oda, and they were returned.—Mr. Billets doubted etc right of the Poor-law limed to the do cuments at all.—Mr. Burrows said the documents and evi dence were open to tho Poor-law Bawd it they thought proper to tend and copy theist ; and, if they did not send and copy them, and at their own expen-e, let them go without them.
