(iumeria's rizsaLuts.) ITALY. FLORENCE, J. 17. Tho Duke and Duchess of Aosta have left fos Naples. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate was closed upon the bill relative to the official assay mark on gold and silver work. The Chamber' approved an amendment leaving the test to the option of the manufacturer. The general debate commenced upon the sum marised budget of the revenue for 1868, proposed by the committee. Signor Crispi opposed the summary voting of the revenue budget for 1868 as asked by the, government. He believed the government was ; anxious to obtain the budget in order to crush liberty and dissolve parliament. He proposed that • the Chamber should suspend voting - the revenue budget until it had.basi thoroughly.akudiadoisd should grant a provisfonal budget meanwhile. Signori Lazzaro, Alvixi, and Mellen 'supported the proposal. General Manabres repelled the insinuation of Signor Crispi. He said that the government only desired the budget to conduct the administration constitutionally. Signor Broglio, the Minister of Commerce, de clared that the proposal of Signor Criapi was wholly unconstitutional and mischievous. The government desired the summary voting of the budget of 1868, so that the present year might be devoted to the i discussion of the budget of 1869. The majority of the Chamber finally approved of the closing of the general debate, and will discuss the three articles to morrow. The Italian Ultmmontane press urges the catho lica throughout Italy to relinquish political absten tion, and take part henceforth in all political and municipal elections. ROME. ROME, J. 16, Evstrnm.

The Swedish Chambers wore opened to-day by the King in person. In the spershirogathe throne his Majesty said that the warlike preparations which were being made in Europe rendered an increase of the army necessary. It was therefore advisable that the army should be reorganised, and universal liability to military service should be introduced. The fire arms must also be provided with the latest modern improvements, and the charge of their manufacture be entrusted to Swedish gunsmiths. INDIA.

THE LATE/3T GREEK FIRE OUTRAGE AT CORE. OPOOK OCR CORE. TIKUISDLT Enema. An outrage of a startling, and in this city quite unprecedented character, is reported to have been committed last night upon a respectable citizen, and has been the subject of a private in quiry by the magistrates to-day. If the state ments made in relation to the affair are to be relied on, they explain the purposes fur which the Greek fire, which exploded a few days ago in Petrick street, had been procured. The story told is this —A man named Jones, foreman leather cutter in the shop of Mr. Kingston, North Main-street, was the victim of the alleged outrage. This man states that for some time back he has had reason to be lieve himself to be obnoxious to the. disaffected classes in this city, by whom he was suspected of having given information to the police in regard to some members of their body. He says that it was even reported, to his knowledge, that he was employed by the police as an amateur detective ; bat it does not appear wbokroritriak wry wasme-ter-appeelasseikat vie— leneseavald be offtill ihelkillYtioetrilliffbles 'II these rumours. Homer, last_ilight about half past nine o'clock, as he was paining through the North Main-street, he was struck on the head with a bottle, thrown at him from behind. The bottle, though thrown with considerable force, did not break in the collision, but rebounded and fell on the pavement, where it was smashed into pieces. The contents, he alleges, instantly ignited, giving out a sheet of vivid flame. Jones lookedabout for his assailant, but could not ere any one, save the ordinary pedestrians. He is unable to afford the slightest clue by which the perpetrators of the outrage might be traced. Immediately after the strange occurrence he went to the Tuckey-street police-station, not far from where he was struck, and reported the affair. A considerable force of constabulary repairedtO the spot, and made a minute search of the street and the 'adjacent lanes, but saw nothing to arouse suspicion. They then searched some houses about the place in which the persons who might have thrown the bottle at Jones might have been suspected to takerefuge, but not the slightest discovery rewardedtheir inquiries. The examination was renewed after a short interval,and prolonged until two o'clock in the morning, but was again unsuccessful. Jones, however, adhered to his statement, that he had been assaulted in the manner described, and made an affirmation of the matter on oath before Mr. Hamilton, R.M. , ' These several and successive outrages—the plunder of Richardson's and Alport's shops, the burglary at Murray's, and this latest and most desperate venture, all perpetrated without leaving a trace of the authors—have produced not so much alarm as amazement. People think that the Fenian must be very wonderful fellows indeed, if they have been able to . do all this mischief in the moat frequented localities, and in the face of a large and generally efficient police force, without having exposed themselves to the slightest danger. In fact, the all but universal conviction here is, that if the Fenians do nut possess the fabled cloak of darkness the sensational stories to which. we have been re cently treated are Very like fictkin. There are several circumstances in connection with the affair of last night sleek should make people cautious in giving creilence to it. The North Main-street is one of theses' thorougbiares of the city. It is pierced by nuidis fi lthy lanes, the inhabitants of - which, not having air to breathe in their domiciles, spend their leisure hours up to 11 o'clock at least in the street. At half-past J the street is tolerably full of these people, as well as others passing through. Now it is very strange both that such a lomlity should have been selected fer an outrage the very nature of which was certain to draw immediate attention, and also that none of the persons in the neighbour hood should have seen either the authors of the outrage or even the explosion which is alleged to have taken place. A very unpleasant occurrence happened lest night in Guileen Bay, where the wreck of the Chicago lies. A party of marines had been stationed on the shore to protect the property cast ashore, which the country people wore, as invariably occurs, dis posed to plunder. One of the marines seeing a fellow bearing off some of the wreck called on him to stand. The man paid no heed to the order, which was several times repeated, and the marine fired. The ball struck the wrecker on the shoulder, and passed through, inflicting a serious, though not a mortal wound. The injured man fell, and was removed to a neighbouring cabin, whore surgical aid was procured. The affair has been investigated to-day by Mr. Donnely, R.M. The disaster to the Chicago has been the indirect cause of another wreck. A large barque called the Vanda, from Iquique, with a cargo of saltpetre, approaching the harbour in the rain and storm of last night, mistook for the Roche's Point light the watch fires lighted by the marines upon the shore near where the Clicago lies. The barque shaped her course accordin,gly, and ran ashore under Port head, about a mile from Guileen Bay. The Roche's% Point light is intermittent, and the flickering of the watch fires probably deceived the officers of the barque. The crew were saved, but the vessel is sure to go to pieces, as the weather is still very stormy. CORK. FRIDAY NIGHT: The marine who shot the countryman at the wreck of the Chicago has been arrested, and handed over to the civil authorities after an investigation. The wounded man denies that he was plundering the wreck ; but considerable plunder has taken place, and seizure of suspicious firearms has been made at the wreck. For the convenience of the subscribers, the corn. mittee of the London Library, St. James'swinare, have resolved to keep the roiding-room sad library open till 8 p.m. during the coining rummer months.

CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS. The following appears u the brat article in the daolo-Dra:iliau Tints (published at Rio de Janeiro) of December 9, Liti7 : We feel it our duty, though an unpleasant one, to utter a few words of warning to our countrymen in Great Britain and Ireland, that they may not allow themselves to be drawn into • 'misconceived position, through lending their faith to any of the numerous parties who me to be found st all times ready to exploit in any ground in which they perceive an opportunity of workings vein with profit I to themselves, however others may surfer thereby. The especial motive which bar induced us to utter this warn isg to our countrymen arises from our attention being drawn to an advertisement appearing . in the English papers received here by the last mail, which is as , follows : " Emigration to the Brazils.—The most productive and promising field upon the globe. Arneted and free pee- I sages from England to the porta of Brazil. Bedding, cooking, and all shipping utensils allowed free. Gnat* ef land and facilities affordedf or permanent settlement. Emi grants' tools, agricultural implements and machinery free of transport. Emigrants' hotel open and guide provided. Labour in demand and wages gooiL Persons desirous et ava iling themselves of this opportunity, and other edema tages and facilities now o ff ering by the govemment el Brazil, may obtain every requisite Inform iuformatioa on applica tion to Le Chevalier 1 . de Almeida Portugal, at the Com mercial Agency of Brazil, No. 7, Westminster Chambers, Victoria-street, Westminster, London." We regret to say that there are various statements set forth, or implied in it, which are absolutely false, and the whole tenor of the announcement bears a character of suspicious inducement upon its face. In the first place we can authoritatively state that the so-called " Commer cial Agency of Brazil" of Le Chevalier L de Almeida Por tugal has no connection with the government of Brazil. In the second place, although lands are selling by the government at the minimum rate of about 10d. per sere, and on • long credit, for the purpose of encouraging im migration, the law absolutely prohibits grants of lands, except for military settlements along the frontier. In the third place, the government gives neither assisted nor free pampa from the United Kingdom, for, we are very sorry to say, the disturbances excited, by Feniazin have inspired the rulers of Brazil with a strong feeling of dtr trust, dreading that with the introduction of the labouring classes from the British Isles there might be received • dangerous and subversive element, injurious to the inter nal peace now for many years characteristic of the Brasil tan empire. We are =evinced that them *cites ere unfounded, end we think that me long, with better OOD• sideration of the idiosyncrasy of oar countrymen, the fears of the Bruin= administrators will dissipate and pass away. We axe consistent advocates of emigration to Brazil, believing that, sooner or later, the great current of European 'mimed= must flow to this favoured region, sod we are prepared to promote it in every way withi i our power Chea t s* keg as the Brazilian relies are inspired by the teas( lelvjudgerent to which we have jut re ferred, it is beprobehi• that they will give direst embeenos to eudgrrnien fern the United Kingdom. Mesuld any change is the haw id the Earailien government take place, our reenhamen mem depend upon receiving freer DO an early intimation of R. Meantime we repeat ear warn ing to then", not I. =adds in annonnimments of the cha racter of the ore we have transcribed, whose tendency memo, to my tie but of it, mislead* and sampiekem FOREIGN MAILS.

BITUALI , M IN TILE CITY. —Yesterday afternoon a public meeting was held at the London Ti'. ern, for the purpose of protesting against certain proceedings adopted oy the Rev. J. L. Lyne (better known its " Father Im am.," of the Norwich monutery), who has for some weeks past held • mid-day service every Friday at the church of St. Nickels& Acosta and St. Edmund the King, Lora bard-street, fee many years the steno of the lateens of the Rev. T. Hartwell Horne, the author of the well known " Introduction to Sweatiest Study of the Holy Scriptures." In order to make the meaning of yesterday's meeting intelli gible, it may be stated that on Friday, the lush rust., Mr. Lyne conducted • service at which there were persons present who made themselves so objectionable to him that he was obliged to rebuke them from the pulpit, one of them being a clergyman of the diocese of London, who made • sham confession to Dlr. Mackonochie, the incum bent of St. Albans, and then announced his intention of exposing him. There was a disturbanco in the church, end, as both sides agree in saying, some fighting outside. At the service at Lombard-street yesterday morning there was so vast • congregation that many were unable to ob tain suliniision, but everything went off smoothly. The meeting ea the London Tavern was not altogether of a pacific character. Mr. Webber spoke contemptuously of the Bishop of London, who might, he said, prevent Mr. Lyne from officiating, but who, on the contrary, was about to admit him to the priesthood. He also stated that having subscribed to an "Old Man's Home," under the auperintendenoe of Mr. Lyne, he went to Laleham, where it was mid to be situate, in order to ascertain what sort of an institution it was. He found an ordinary red brick house with mayoral small abode around it. There was a turret with a hell, the inscription " Moncetery " over the door, and outside a hillock, which be understood Mr. Lyue called "Mount Calvary." He found that only two old men had ever been in the home, one of whom was so diegusted that he left. The Rev. M. Peake, the rector of islehans, hail told him that the proceedings in the home were of an awful character, and that one youth who had h e an attracted there bad been asked by Mr. Lyne whether he would like to see the infant Saviour. Ou the boy 'ce menting, Mr. Ly ne went to • place fitted up like • manger, and from some straw took out • wooden figure, which he repreeseted as the Saviour, and which he made the boy kiss. A Mr. Hughes, formerly • Roman catholic, then a ritualist at Norwich, and now a protestant (by abjuration at Mr. Ormiston's temporary church at Islington, on Christmas Day) , gave IMAM particulars of the da il y life at the Norwich monastery while Mr. Lyne was its superior, bat the truthfulness of his statements was challenged by many gentlemen in the room. Other speeches of a like character were delivered. CUILDSTMAS TREE AT 'UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Moserrat..—At the seventh annual distribution of prizes to the sick from the Christmas tree • very distinguished eels and supporters of the institution were resent. these were members of the aristocracy well known for their Christian charity, the professors and OISISEI el Iles hospital with their families, the ladies who superintend the nurang, and many others. A large ward wastastefully decorated, and all the patients that could do so witnessed the proceedings. In addition to mires, each patient reorived some useful article of clothing. A selection of vocal and instrumental music was contributed by the ladies, with carol singing. This annual treat is looked forward to by the poor sufferers with much plat sere.
