The colours f the Ferretti family ( orange : a rt w hite) were conspicuous among the flags. The moil* regiment of Speranza came next, and then the civic troops in immense force, with I the i r art illery, 'sappers end miners, with sem i : heard, and apron, six large guns, from the animal of St. Angelo, and the whole body of Papal inabilities. For an hour the march kept on, and the dierethoguing mass had then filled the whole square , end iy h, ighbourhood, which blazed with the light of stbourand torches. 'To the capitol,' then, was the m y; and terry !totem in the Corso being lit un, back I ro lled the tide of population to that immemorial spot. All the boatels were ranged round the equestrian game of Marcus Aurelius, and, amid solemn silence s ad intense cold, all beads being uncovered, the de- rree c onvoking the Constituent Assembl i y was read. Then up rose the Abbate Rembalch, and said: Roman people! Your fathers, from this hill, origi nated civilization amid barbarous Europe, and you h a re o begin the work again this year of eur Lord, to renvue Italy from eerie intriguers and brute! des pots: and I, as a clergymen' (sarerdote di Christo), cali on you from the capitol to vindicate your inde pendoice end your right to self-government—prin ciples *hose root is in the gospel.'

THE CHOLERA AMONGST THE PAUPER CHILDREN, Mr. Popham, one of the medical gentlemen sent from St. Pancras to the asylum at Tooting. in • o.musunica non received by toe authornien of St. Pancras yesterday (Sunday) morning ills : I r-sreet to say that anc» the de cline of the high winds which prevailed on Thunidas and Friday the cholera seems to have increased here slightly There have been four or five fresh cases during last sight, and • considerable number of deaths during the last 24 hours. A further report was received from Mr. Poplins' la,t night which states that several of the children at Tenting are still in • dangerous state, and we regret to say that three children have died. The number of St. Pancras children remaining are 24, iv , 3 boys under treatment, 9 girls un der treatment, and 7 boys and 6 girls convalescent An inquest was held on Saturday before Mr. Baker, at the Old Mermaid, Church-street, Hackney, to inquire into the cause of the deaths alleged to be from cholera, of John Burke, 14; William Walton, 7; Thomas Nesson, 7; and John Keen, 3 years and 3 months old; pauper children belonging to lidin,ton, who had been removed from Tooting Asylum on Monday last, and placed in Perk House, Hackney, with 5.5 others. Mr. Baker read the prinnpal pilots of Mr. Orainger'i report, and augges:ed the practicability of deferring the inquiry siva the termination of that pending before Mr. Wakley. Atter some conversation, the jury then proceeded to visa the bodies, which were lying in au out-bedding of Park House, and afterwards minutely inepinted the bowie, the arrangements of which gave unqualified intl.-faction Eight children were in the C4IIIIIIVOCtIIt ward, and two in the sick ward in a dangerous condition.

Is LINCOLN'S INN.—Yeaterday about half. meet 4 o'clock, • fire broke out in New.equare, Linceen's inn. The police-constable on duty was peeve g down Bishop's court, a narrow purge which runs in the rear of the pre• wises, and saw a strong light in the basement floor of one of .Ito houses. He alarmed the porters at the inn, and with them proceededtomakeauinvestigation They son discovered that a fire bad broken out on the 'basement floor or No. 2, New-square, the chambers being occupied by Meters. Hem rington and Kebble. The latter gentle man, it appears, was the a my person who slept on the premises, but he can give no account ut t. .e origin of the fire. As soon as it was di.- covered, Mr. Kebble was aroused, but the flames having en circle d the greater prams of his chamber, he was unable to mashie eacspemnd remained in hie zooms fully 20 minutes, while messengers were despatched tier the &escape. An this did not arrive, and r danger was imminent, Mr. Kebb*e leaped from his bedroom window into the garden, and at length a ffecred his escape withAst any very serious danger. When the porters were informed of the lire they called out the engines belonging to the Inn, but, from being in a had condition, or Iron ieetficienct on the pert of the men, they were comparatively useless, and much confusion and delay were the mariners. It is stated also that every dimwit don wee mandested to keep the knout; dge of the tire from the brigade or other parties outside the walls, and even on the arrival of the brigade engines at the gates admission was for • time retard, Owing to the quantity of timber and the walls brag encased in oak the fire maread with great , rapidity. Many papers and books were saved by means of the exertions of the firemen, but them form a very small portion of those which were on the premises. Tie waot of water thwart , d in a great degree the exertions which were made to save the buildings, the. teruccks of the various mains not having been called until some time after the outbreak of the tire. When the engines were got into play, several of the brigade men very narrowly escaped with their lives. They bravely attempted to carry the hose into the centre of the buildings, and had really accomplished their purpose, when the stone staircase fell with a frightful crash, burying eve rythien in the way under its ruins. This event cot off all communication with the chambers above ; the flames rased uncontrolled throughout the buddies", ant i the greatest Mars were entertained that the whole range of buildings would be consumed. By Mr. Braidwood's direc tions, engines from the whole of the metropolitan stations were sent, and, on their arriv .1, the mos' complete measures , were adopted for arresting the progress of the fire. It we. not until 8 o'. 'oek that aporehension was allayed. Between 9 and 10 o'clock fear was again excited, reverel stacks of chimneys, and • portion of the front wall, bring (Alen, leaving only one, between 60 and 60 feet is height, resting upon a very slender basis. That fell in alertly b. fore two o'clock. The fire was burning nearly the whole rat yesterday, notwithstanding several of the en glues were constantly engaged in playing upon the premises. The destruction of property is variously estimated at from 13,0101. to 20,0001. Most ut it was insured in the principal Lindon fire-ether. Toe premises were built in 1666, la meniately dun the rest fire of London. AT 11•118P5TRAD WILTEIL Wolin —On Saturday eight • fire broke out on the newly-erected premises termed the Hampstead Water Works, which was attended with • dm 'ruction of property valued of several thousand pounds. The premises in which the fire began were about 80 feet square, of considerable altitude, and fitted up with costly machinery tie weight of which is estimated at 36 tons. The m intent the fire wee seen an alarm was given, and mos- sengers were sent in all dinctiogs forth engines. Owing ' to the strong hold the flames had obtained, they tea. veiled rapidly through the premises, and ascended so high that, long before an engine had time to reach the place, the whole budding became fired, and the reflection from the flames could he seen at • distance of several miles. Several engines shoetly arrived, but to obtain a good supply of water it was found nee Nary to take the engines up a steep em bankment, and work them from the reservoir. This neces sarily occupied some time, during which the fire coutinuel its progress, seizing up di floor aher floor and everything of an ignitable ebarac:er, until the whole were blazing with the greatest vehemence. It was 10 o'clock—three hours atter the outbreak—before the flames could be extinguished. How the calamity originated is unknown: at 6 **clock, when the works were closed, they appeared perfectly safe. From the examination made, there seems litt.e doubt that tee Semis commenced in one of the rooms near the steam engine. The damage is thus officially reported: •• Beildtags of engine-house and wanks generally elegem 41; supposed lon about 3.0001. Machinery, steam-eneine, ete., partially destroyed ; estimated loss about 8,0001. Total supposed lees 8,0001." Unfortunately the whole of the property was un insured.

The AGerders Banner says :—" Late on Stand q(yesterday week) it blew a gale, the sea rose to a tremendous height, and the consequences to shipping were serious. The Union, of Stonehsveu, was wrecked at the mouth of the harbour ; the Mauefield, of Aberdeen, itoo lillrthpool, shared the came fate among the rocks at Brotherton ; the Blossom, en entering the harbour, was considerably injured ; the Venus, H. oidenou, which had sailed for London with a cargo of gni., was obliged to put back, and or entering the harbour had her rudder end rudder-post carried away. Thrsoghout the day on Tuesday the storm somewhat abated, but towards eight reviewed with, if passible, iucreved violence, end won Nevin attended web melancholy result.. There was a strong phi t item SE, the sea runeing so high that for some distance from the shore no vessel could live in c. Accordingly, on Wednesday afternoon, several vessels were discovered in the disiance, strufeglieg very bard with the wind and waves. Oue 'initiate , ' signals of isms, and appeared as if =skive fur the land. This proved to be the Issalla of Dundee, having s cargo of linseed; at all events, that ulna came ashore on the beach two hours afterwaida. Tne life host was imme lately got out, manned in the most heroic maimer, and succeeded in rescuing the unfortunate crew. Shortly alter the time when the Isabella came on shore, and about seven o'clock, another and more lames a ble catastrophe ue:urred, attended with hiss of life. The Rezatreth, of this port, w ich sailed with timber from Aber the nea Saturday lat for L ith, but had been prevented reach ing teat port by the storm, cow came on shore some distance notthsterd of the Ie 'twig. It appears that, shortly before she struck, tee ceptaiii, mate, and a man were &wept a the vessel and WtV• drowned, leaving on board only two boys, ' oh t went down into the told and gave theinst Ives up for lost, when the vessel having struck they were saved by the Th • captain ( whose wane was M'Ketixit) at well as ter other two men lave left wives ar d m=ild- a. On Friday ' morning another vessel (the Dahlia, of Newcastle), coal laden, was also stranded on our beach ; crew saved. Friday afternoon, J. Miller, a Ilesher, went down to the pier, ..nd having attached hit horse to some place near the old light house, went down the north pier, evidently to tee it any eke els were in the offing. While saunteriug on the pier a wove came suddenly upen him, and be was speedily overwhelmed in the surf. Unfortunately, ere any assistance could be ren &ref, he was lust sight of. lie, too, has left a cite and tamely. Another person narrowly escaped with his life. In going along th pier he wascarried off his fret by a wave, but fortunately , regained his position. Along the toast the damage done has been great. At Stonehaven we understand the lower part of the town was inundated, and considerable injury ma have been done in cousrquence. A letter dated Boddie°, 10th Jan., says: "About 9 o'clock this moruing two •chosners and a Prig were seen standing north, the sea run ning high at the time. It soon became evident that the twig could not clear the Buchan-mesa; aeti when she was about threequarten of a mile from the rims and about a fur lons from the oind sae went down. The brig appeared to be abut 140 tons burden, but no conjecture could be made as to her name. Three or tour of the crew took to a boat. and •fe w we re seer on the quarterdeck. The fragments of a boat came on shore ; it seemed to he old, brown outside, black aside, and hadlight blue gunimalee,but no ship's name on the -tern " A Pete-head core, sponoent says, toe hero, ot Fraser burgh, came ashore at the Baths about hall-past two o'clock, and the scene which there took place wait one of the most tearfully striking I ever witnessed. Toe first sea after the vessel struck forced right upon her broadside, and every successive wave, like a moving mountain, went clean over her with tremendous force. The masts broke at one str dee like pieces of brittle glass. The situation of the poor men wee perilous in the extreme. In no other circumstences, I think, dues the puniness of man appear more conspicuous than in such as these, for here were hundreds of human 'wings alm art within reach of their perishing fellows without h deg able to do much more than sigh and cry to them. Four men were rescued from the wreck. I understand two lives were luet—but amid the present general confusion it is impossible to obtain accurate information. A vessel, supposed to he the Scotsman, of Aberdeen, has tonndered nest Stains Castle, and all hands are lost, to the numb.tr of about seven. Three or four men were seen at the querter•dock about the time the catastrophe happesed, but no aid could be afforded. Capt Ettenhank and some of the seamen of the Katherine came up with the mail last night from Peterhead, and one of the men states, that a boat, with three or four men, was seen to approach tiie land, and when they had almost toirchad it, the boat wail dashed to pieces, and the po o r fellow. sunk. This might p - ssibly have been a portion of the crew of the Scotsman; and a hull, which ha' been cast lobate near Peterhead, might also be that of the same vessel, which had !drifted thus far nortftward. The hull had a white stripe; the figurehead was also white. The worst, however, remains to be told. On Wednes day after noon fifteen individuals proceeded to the north pier, for the purp use of securing some vessels which had broken from their moorings. The see run very hieb, when suddenly all of them were swe,pt off and sack. Toe dead bodies have all been got exceptone, teat of Capt. Ilogg. Capt.

This awful calamity following so soon after that of August last, will bear very hard on the town of Peterhead ; and many families will be thrown into the deebest Another letter from Peterhead, dated Jan. 10, says, "There has been serious work going on here this afternoon. While I am writing (4 o'clock), the whole of the walls round the north harbour are driven down by the sea, and Mr. Meth yen's large property below the dock is nearly levelled to the ground. The destruction of the property in this part of the harbour is very serious. and I cannot tell what next tide may do. There are four vessels ashore in the bay, and a great loss of life." ROBBERY ON THE GREAT WRIITXRIB RAILWAY. — SATORDAT.—ithe WOW examination of the prisonera took place to-day, at 1 o'clock, an adjoantinent trot eleven—at whit& hoar the coon at first assembled— having ben treated at the request of Mr. Peacock, ads We to the l'ossoffiers. Ti.e two prisoners were then placed the dock. They did not appear to have underpays any change in their personal appearance, although both loused to be convinced of the peiniulnere of their situatioe. Pool. ',owed to the beach. but the other prisoner remained arm plate!, annseved. Poole had on a white coat, with a large soar; hi. companion was dressed in black. The first witness ci-Ped was— Mr. H. Lee, whose evidence was to the following effect: I reside at Clifton. Oa the 2nd of January I was di aroma class passenger by the mail train. In order to teems my plats, I went to -hat is called the Exeter shed of the Bri.no station about 1 o'clock. At the time I anived the door of the booking-office was shut, the down train not having been signalled to Bristol. Whilst standing at the doer of the booking-office I observed two man approaching me. The' toes (pointing to Poole's companion) dressed in the dark clothes is the one who first advanced towards me. The other prisoner was with him, but did not coma up is W booking-office door. Ile remained three or MIT yards behind his companion. Poole hod on what Is commonly called a Jim Crow hat and a cloak. The man dressed in the dark clothes came to the office door, Poole re maining behind. Poole finding that the booking-office door was not opened, returned, and went under an adjacent arch way. Toe recond prisoner came u *pain and tried the booking-office des r. I remarked to him that there was no admittance yet, sad that it was a very cold night. That was about one o'clock, or probably a little later. I did not hear him make any reply to my observations. Ido not believe he spoke to me at all. Almost immediately afterwards he went back twain, and rejoined Poole under the archway. The archway, which was a dark one, was about 18 or 20 feet from the auur at which I was standing. lam thus paricu ler about the distance because I measured it this morning be- f •re coming &len to Huger. l continued walking up - and down in front of the 'talon um it the booking-office dour w.s opened. The whispering alluded to most undoubted.y came from the two men under the archway. When the door was opened I went in. Thestaton-clerk was not there at the time, and I observed that one of the company's nta was soriag She stamp.. The cation-clerk came in very shortly afterwards. The two prisoners came into the booking-offiee atter I had gone in, perhaps it wcs about a minute atter. Poole walked I on and down by the wall inside the bo king-offi,e, ant did rot go into the middle of the office, or sear the clerk's desk. The second trimmer asked for two first class tickets. and paid for them. Idu not recollect whether I heard him say for what station they we re required. I saw the tickets given to the prisoner with the dark cichkes, and I saw him pay for them. I stood near the clerk . * desk during the time I w..s in the bookingeoffize. Presently I turned round and glanced at Poole, who appeared to be rather shy. He turned his head towards the wall, as if to avoid my glance. That circumstance induced me to look still more closely at him with • view to catch a sight of his features. I could not however, as he turned Ids to -• towards the wall—that was directly away from me. I did, how. ter, once catch his eye. I continued to walk up and down in 'hr office. As soon a. Poole's companion had obtained the tickets both the prie Posters left the booking-office, and pr..cteded upstairs towards the platform. I followed them upstairs, but when 1 got on the platform I did not are any one. I looked straight up the plsuorm towards the Eleter end of it. I turned roused to the left, where there is another platform, but still I could not w • any ens When I came to v.e limp, which is near to the end of the platform, I distinctiy heard two me. whisper ing, but I did trot sae them. It was dark behind the lamp I spoke of. Piteds after the train came round. I took my seat in a se cond class carriage.—Mr Pcassork You stated that Poole wore a cloak. DJ you :kink you could identify it ?—Wit-- new : 1 don't know whether I could or not. I old not take particular notice of it. Toe cloak was handed to tis witness as well es the Jim Crow bat which he said Poole wore—Mr. Peacock: Can you identify tither of those f— Witmer : I cannot positively swear to them, but I think that is the cloak, aid am pretty sots that is the Jim Crow hat.—Mr . Pe ac .ck : They are very simelar to th at Pole wore on that occasion ?—Witness : Oh, yes, precisely similar. Mr. Wellesford declined eras examining the witness on behstf of the prisoners, and he was allowed io retire. Mr. W. Willed:, forgone, of Enoineter, I recollect the lit of January, I was in the Eaminster roal, between II and 12 o'clock of the morning of that day. It was the toropik.- road on which I was walking. 1 overtook two persons. They were going towards Exminster. They were on this aide of Erminster, that is on the Pia, near to Exeter. I have since seen those two persdis. Poole I have known fur some time. When I met him on the occasion alluded to I nodded to him. Poets is one of the persons I met on that day. lam quite certain of that, having, as I have said, known him for some time. I believe the other prisoner is the man who accompanied him. Poole was curying a hag It was a blue bag, end *vested to be about three parts lull. He bad a dark coat, with pockets outside. lie wore a hat. lbe other man hail ,ark clothes on. Mr. Wellesford said he did not wish to erase-examine the witness. Henry Chapple deposed that he lived at the Storey Arms, Ezminsto r. On the Ist of January two p. more came to vita hou.e. He believed the two pri,ners to be the me.. When they came in the called for a pint of beer. He served them wan the beer. 'they rem fined not .:.ceding ten minutes. They drank the beer, and went away togevier. They went toward. Star. KOS.. It was before dinner time, probably be• tween ten aid twelve o'clock in the morning. That man (p dusting to Poole) carried a blue bag. It appeared to be about halt full. When he spoke of Peale he referred to that gent. iu the wl.ite coat. (Laughter.) Mary Anr.e Southwood, daughter of the k epee of the Courtney Arms, S ar-cross, stated that the prisoner Poole and some other men entered her Louse at about six o'clock in the evening of New Year's-day, and drank brandy and water. Sarah Ell • orthy : I know Mr. Poole. Ile lodged with me at Plymouth. lie came on the 10:0 of May laid, and remained with me nit or seven wicks. During tae time he lived at my hour I observed him with a haudkerchief. I should knew the colours et the handkerchief, but I could not swear to anything else in it. There is no private mark on it for me to swear to. The handkerchief was then shown to witness. It was that in which the letters arid pace a were found on the night Poole and his accomplice were apprehended.—Mr. Peacock :Di you identify that hand kerchief ?—Witness : Y.s, I know the colours, hut nothing more. I should not like to swear to it, but it is very I:ke it. E. Langley, a detective sergeant in the Metropolitan Po• lice, was trought fr. m London to identity Poole's com peniod This man still pertinaciously refused to give his name. Langley said I Invite the pri.oner—the one who refuses to give his name. I have known him eight or nine years, but I have lost sight of him the last year and a half. His name is Howard Nightingale. I know his father his name is George Nightingale. Nightinga e, who lied shown considerable hauteur during the proceedings, seemed c om pel b by this mate lot:my. Ile held dean his head, and seemed to think that ois last hope was gone. Poole also appeared to be consider ably unnerved. This was the whole of the evidence, and the mayor asked the prisoners if they wished to Sty anything in their defence. —By the &dem* of Mr. Welleslord they declined to say any thing at pree nt.—The Mayor then formally conai•ted both of them for trial. It was stated that the officers who had been sent down by the Piet.office auth , rities, Mr. Inspector Field and Mr. Seesteant Langley, had made a thorough search over the whole of the Bristol station , where it was suppoeed that the bulk of the property stolen from the up-mail had been secreted. It was shown that there wee no time for the psi toners to have gone further than the public-hour, and yet notling could be found. The search is to be CA ntinued. Soon after the discovery of Poole's connexion with the recent robterry his house was searched by tit.. police, but scarcely a pion of paper owtsinang any memorandum we, found, all such documents having evidently been destroyed. i On his persem, however, were founksevenu 10 U's fir 201 501, and 751., showing that since he came into pommaion of his mosey (now accounted for) , be has had some ostensive transactions io Inane. It is a remarkab:e fact in connexion with the robbery that no official notice of it was sent is the Poet-office authorities, and that Mr. Peacock did not hear of it until the following day, when the pri-oners were under ; termination at Exeter, and that while investigating the par ; titulars of the fi rst robbt ry the announcement of the second 2 reached him. Poole belongs to a respeetsble family at Taunton, but nu not been on friendly terms with them G. since he commenced his present pursuits.

It was on these grounds, that seeing Popery approaching, they stood up to opir 50 it.—Col.

They had also thought it,. &pectin' to the bishur of the diocese to send a copy of the memorial the same day on which they sent to the archbishop, and the bishop acknowledged its receipt. They had been most kindly re ceived by his grace. He told theta that he bad prepared en answer; it was not exactly in that formal state in which he could wish, but he should have pleasure in reading it to them ; and it was with great satisfaction that he (Col.

Some curious and very dmisive esamples of landlord influence are given, such as township , in which the whole of the electors have voted blue at one election, then orange at another, and again blue at • titled election, merely swing to a chine • in the politics of the landowner '• For this forted sub erviency of electors, which really makes a great part ot the rural constituencies into the mere chattels of the proprietor of the soil, we can see no remedy but the ballot. N.r can we think that it would increase the popular influence in the counties to extend toe franchise, until the protection of the ballot shall be given; for it would only, under the present mode of voting, increase the troops of vestals whom the great man would in person or by his steward drive up te the poll. There are fancied, perhaps real, objections to secret voting; but it seems quite indispensable for the protection of the voter, and to make representation a reality. The ballot would put an end both to bribery and to intimidation, at least as far as anything could do so ; and thereby it would remove two of the grand evils of the present triton. We can see no ohjeetions to the ballet compsrable with these advantages.—Leods Merc TA ury. S FFORDSHIRE.

THE PLYMOUTH CavacamEN AND THE ARCH BISHOP OF CANTIRBIIRT. — A meeting of lay members of the established church was held at Plymouth, on Monday, " To receive the report of the denotation to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his race's reply to the memorial agreed on at a public meeting held on the 19th of December last. Also to consider the propriety of presenting a petition to her Mijsaty the Queen ; and foe the adoption of such other mea sures as may then be determined." J. Coryton Roberto, Esq., was called to the chair, and recapitulated the nitres which had led them to their last meeting, aid the course they had then pursued of memorialising the Archbishop. He said what he and the meeting protested spinet was the inculcation of Rnmish ceremonies and doctrines by clergy men of the protestant church. (Hear.) As churchmen they respected the episcopal dace and although 'hey widely differed from the bishop of this diocese—they gave him credit, veiging as he was on the grave, for seised - g only that which he Believed to be the doctrine of the church. He did not forget that the Bishop of Exeter had once been a determined opponent of popery, but now he was an app rrrrr of the practices of these tractarian clergy, wno had fair some years past, under his auspices, been oversp reading the dio cese. Ever since the publication of the "Tracts for the Times " certain principles bad been insidiously insinuated es the doctrines and practice of the Church of England. It was generally dose under the pretence of rubrical conformity, and !oceans in some cases then might be round for such a statement, and he was therefore opposed to leaving the church on slight grounds, merely because • clergyman preached in his surplice, or used the offertory. But that was not the whole, for there were innumerable rites and otwervance• which had been introduced of is very muck worm nature than those he had mentioned. When they tined of stone altars, trappings of various kinds, decorating the altar with flowers, homage without end and genuflexions —naturally , their fun were excited, and they would be led to exclaim ' this looks very much like the Church of Rome!" But then he renew bsred that some of those who had adopted that warn had cottage to remove his tools. Upon going there, he wee rather utosished at not (lading any member of the family up. Ile, however, waited at the door for nearly an hear, when he commenced iusucking, bat not receivieg , en answer, he got a ladder and made to the bedroom w indow, and on looking through, be saw the inmates lyirg in b ed.
