It weal some time before he could be induced to accept the office, but having once done so, the patriarch of I Italian letters has, I am assured, thrown his whole heart and soul into the task ; so that his counsels and conclusions are looked forward to by the public with much interest. At the same time Broglie has nominated a commission to draw up a great geological map of Italy—justly considering that such a work, the result of the most careful scientific inquiry, is the only satidao• tory basis of the mining and mineral development of which Italy is capable. He has likewise appointed a third commission for the preservation of the art monuments of Italy. And I need scarcely say what an immense field of activity as regards both frescoes and measles this opens up. All English oaltivstors of the fine arts am sure, be pleased to learn that Signor Osvalesselle, who has been so long and so honour ably amociated with our ova oovahaymass, Mr. Crowe, in researches concerning early Italian art, received some time ago the appointment of curator of the museum of ancient art in Flotsam ; and I entertain very little doubt that his vast acquirements in this sphere will now become as serviceable in an official character as they have long been in an independent and literary one to the arta of his country.

It is formally and officially announced that the Crown Prince of Italy, Humbert, will shortly marry his beautiful and accomplished cousin, the Princess Marguerite, the daughter of the widowed Duchess of Genoa. The announcement has been received with general satisfaction, so far as one is able to judge from the language of the public prints in the short time since it was made known ; it will be received with much stronger feelings of pleasure and of hope for the royal house of Italy, when the Italian people shall have an opportunity of becom ing acquainted with the rare intellectual and moral qualities of the amiable Princess whom the heir of the Italian throne is about to wed. The Princess Marguerite is still very young ; she only attained her sixteenth year last November, but her mind has been most carefully cultivated, and the moral influences by which she has been surrounded, espe cially the enlightened and liberal training of the lady who has had the chief direction of her educa tion, have been attended with the happy result of importing to her the soundest principles and the purest tastes. She possesses a much more exten sive knowledge of modern languages than has hitherto fallen to the lot of either Italian princes or princesses ; she has a thorough relish for and a fair proficiency in art ; she has poetical powers of an order which would invite and receive careful culti vation if she were born in a far humbler sphere ; but, better than all this, a kindness of heart and a sincere desire to do good, which will now find the amplest opportunities for their con stant and legitimate exercise. It is only natural that such merits should have been best appreciated amongst the members of her own family, and when to such merits are added the attractions of her youth and her great personal beauty, it can excite no surprise that precisely on her the choice of the young Crown Prince of Italy should have fallen. I believe that, so far as domestic virtues and affec tions are concerned, no other marriage —none, at least, that we have ever heard spoken of—could furnish to the royal house of Italy such a guarantee both for the happiness of the heir-apparent to the throne, and for the sincere and admiring loyalty of the people. The Italians have many defects in their character, but they all appreciate good sense, respect intellectual culture, and intensely admire beauty, and in the wife of the Crown Prince—" The lily of Savoy," as the people of Turin love to call her—they will find the happiest union of all the three. assertions of modifications of the September Con vention, or the conclusion of a new treaty between France and Italy. The Notione says :—" It is not known at the present moment how, or with what probability of success, negotiations could be undertaken on the Roman question unless upon the basis of the September Conven tion. After the late events the return to the state of affairs created by the Convention would be the sole policy advantageous to the country with out compromising the future. We believe that the Cabinet are unanimous in this opinion." In to-dAy's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the estimates of the Ministry of Justice were dis cussed. MALTA. VALETTA. FIB 3.

Tho proceedings in yesterday's Senate were opened by the president announcing to that body the death of one of their most distinguished mem bers, the venerable, erudite, and patriotic Sar dinian, Baron Menne. The island of Sardinia has not furnished to the Italian political world many persons of eminence, indeed one cannot point to more than two very distin guished Sardinian!, Menne himself, and General Cugia, whose plain common-sense is constantly found of the greatest value in political and party complications, said who is uuderstoud to possess much influence (and to exercise it very wisely) over the mind of the Crown Prince. Menne, .iust deceased, was not only a sensible politician and great lawyer, but a very accom plished man of letters. His history of his native island is the best on the subject, and he has also written two volumes of a more popu lar character, one called " The Fortune of Words," the other, the production of his later years, " The Fortune of Books." " The Fortune of Words" is a most delightful volume of literary gossip end deli cate speculation, and will always servo to keep his name in honour amongst the scholars and culti vated thinkers of his country. Another Sardinian Senator, a clever but very eccentric elderly gentleman, Siotti Pinter, has this week published a pamphlet under the title "Non pill Francis" (" away with France"), which might almost be regarded as au intentional antidote to General La Marmors's praise of the French alliance, did not the totally different style of the work quite preclude such a supposition. Senator Slott* Pinter combats France and the French with the intel lectual weapons which lie was taught to use in some Jesuits' college sixty years ago. He shows up the church fathers in line of battle against the imperial author of the Life of Julius Cesar, and seems to have no doubt of securing a complete victory. The Chamber of Deputies, having finished its discussion on the budget of the interior is now engaged with that of the ministry of agriculture and commerce. Ono of the first circumstances that has presented itself in the discussion is character istic of the turn public fueling is taking.

The Committee of Foreign Affairs have come to an agreement, and it is reported that they will soon introduce a bill declaring that naturalised citizens abroad are entitled to the same protection as native born citizens, unless such protection shall have been forfeited by crimes against the Federal laws, or against foreign governments committed within their jurisdiction, or by desertion from actual service in or by enlistment in a foreign army or navy, or by adoption of a domicile beyond the limits of the United States for over one year. By this bill the President would be authorised to de mand the release of citizens detained by foreign governments upon the groundof Federal naturalize- Lion not absolving them from allegiance to their native country. Should the release be refused or delayed, the President would be authorised to cause the arrest of any subject of such foreign government as an indemnity and reprisal. President Johnson has sent a message to Con gress announcing that the bill granting political equality in the district of Columbia had failed because Congress had adjourned before the expira tion of the ten days allowed to the President by the constitution for the consideration of bills. ..The house has rejected the compromise of the Conference Committee on the cotton tax, recom mending the removal of the duty on foreign cotton. A new conference has been ordered. ... It is reported that the Reconstruction Committee have agreed to report a bill to deprive the Supreme Court of jurisdiction over cases arising from the I execution of the Reconstruction Act. General Hancock has issued an order permitting the sale of crops to furnish funds for the payment of freedmen's wages when such wages should be illegally withheld and civil redress impracticable. General Rieger, the military governor of Georgia, has rescinded the order of Governor Jenkins sus pending the collection of the State taxes. The majority of the Louisiana Convention has I , petitioned Congress to remove General Hancock, and to authorise the Convention to remove or ap point the State others.

OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA AT BUENOS AYRES. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Oneida with the above mails arrived at Southampton yesterday, with 28 passengers, 5,9991. in specie, six pack ages of diamonds, value not stated, and a general cargo, including 5,231 bags of coffee. She en countered head winds and heavy swells from Per- , nambuco to Lisbon, and subsequently gales. Her Majesty's ship E gmont was at kßio and the Rosario arrived at Rio on the 2nd January en route for Australia. The French frigate RenommoS, and the Prussian brigs Rover and Mosquito, were at Lisbon. At Buenos Ayres the cholera had swept down , the Parana, from the pestiferous quarters of the ' allied army, and had settled in the city. Since the sailing of the French mail the mortality had in creased with great rapidity • the people had taken Hight, and Ifkif the population had gone to the camps. Great panic prevailed and business was at • stand-still. Funerals were in every street, and sickness in every square. The coffins were carried about in furniture vans. In the public cemetery the outline were piled up waiting for interment, and there were no labourers to dig graves. The mtmi- I cipality had taken no measures to allay the epi demic, and the pwriple had held an indignation meeting and demanded the absolute resignation of the i niunicipal board, who, finding the people de termined, had resigned en mane. There had been great excitement, but no violence had ensued. The government was now active in cleansing the streets, and with more favourable weather the mortality diminished. The war news was unimportant. The cholera in the ea- pa, both at Corrientea and Gran Chaco, was vinare,. Lives was still at Humaita, and the allies had apparently no intention of attacking him, but continued to strengthen themselves round rHumaita. In the interior things were without material change. Sheep firming in the River Plate was suffering, and the finest wools sold 20 per cent. under last year's price. Land had depreciated in value. The financial condition of the market had been much affected by an edict of the Montevidean go vernment legsliaing the stoppage of specie pay inents. Exchange had receded. Considerable shipments of gold had been made to England, the I p a per emission being excessive beyond the require ments. Exchange on London, 481 to I ; on Paris, 5.12 to 17. At Monte Video strict quarantine was still im posed on vessels from the Argentine Confederation' In wool there had been no sales. Exchange, banoo mana 49 pence. At I'ernambuoo the sugar entries were 30,000 bags ; cotton, 4,000. Freights toLiverpool—Sugar, ballast, :Os. per tin; cotton, id. At Bahia the sugar market was active, but prices were declining. Cotton was declining. Co:fee no alteration. Exchange on London, is. Bd. to Is. 80. At Rio there was no news from the seat of war. The position of the armies was unchanged, and the health of the forces of an ordinary character. There was a revolntion in the province of Santa Fe. Rosario was in the hands of the insurgents, who, however, respected the national authorities,l declaring their uprising was only against Governor Arono, who held out in the capital. The troops were concentrating in the province. Cholera had spread to the camps and had reached Cordova.' Many deaths had occurred. The inhabitants were abandoning it. Mr. Mathews was received in audience on Jan. 4, and delivered to his Imperial Majesty his credentials as her Britannic Majesty's minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the court of Brazil.

The ship was built at Aberdeen in 1802, and was classed A 1 for 13 years. The Sir George Seymour, from Liverpool to Bombay, has been burnt at sea. The news of the two ' latter ships have not been heard from. The storm which commenced on Friday night, though it has blown down chimneys and unroofed a few bermes, has (we learn from our correspondent) done no very *thous mischief in the neighbourhood of Manchester. There has been no lois of life. An old man at Levenshulme, who has seen yet summers, bad two ribs broken by • sig nboard blown upon him, and there is reason to fear the injury may prove fatal, owing to his extreme age.

The storm abated on Saturday, but the weather continues rough and gusty at intervals. A heavy gale of wind from the southward prevailed during the whole of Saturday night at Stroud, in Glenmes terah re , in violence towards the morning. At • quarter past 8 o'clock in the rooming • large gasometer belonging to the Stroud Gm and Coke Company, °ales - laded to bold 300,000 cubit feet of gas, wait blows over by the force of the wind. The gasometer was situated at about • quarter of • mile from the town, and in an ex. ceedingly exposed position. The amount of damage cannot at present be estimated. Oa Friday night and Saturday morning the town and neighbourhood of Sheffield were Welted by a tearful hero' cane. which has caused the km of one life, many serious injuries and • large amount of damage. The gale eon- Itinned, during the whole of Friday night, the wind blow ing from the north-west. On Saturday it increased in I violeeoe, and between one and two o'clock in the after ' noon it was at its height. About that time • Pried . tin Methodist chapel in course of therm in Petrastrest was vary much damaged, as the roof and • large portion of both aides were blown down. Another chapel in course of erection anti,belouging to the Reform Methodists at Attereliffe, was damaged by one end of it being blown down. Strange to say, both these chapels ware injured by a lees violent gale which occurred some few week ago, and in the case of the Petra-street chapel the damage thus caused was only repaired on Friday. At Carbroos, which is only • short distance from Atteroliffe, several newly built homes were blown down. In the town several casualties are reported, she principal one resutrag in the death of Mr. Bingham, • chemist and druggist, Arnadel-anew. Behind his shop was an old building which he used es a warehouse, and in which was • large quantity of drugs and che mical'. At three o'clock in the al Menem be and his wife were in the lower room, standing or sitting b the firm when the wind blew down the chimney. The bricks broke through the roof, and the tiles end raf tees and plaster were too much for the weak floor beneath them, and toned that down, while the falling of th e roof and floor so disk aided the decayed outer wan that • largo part of it fell in wards, smiths whole tame—ebbetway, roof, floor, and wall —buried the unfortunate men sad women some feet deep in rubbiah. The accident was made more lamentable by the breaking of a number of vessels containing strong acids which were thus poured over the ruins, and filled the *am with suffocating fumes, amidst which, and sickened by them so to be obliged to =plies to others, whom they in turn relieved, Mr. Clark, bone cutter, of Porter Wand Wheel, and the polio-constable on the beat, brevelueserted them selves ineleer away the Maria.
