r ITALY. --.- (ROM 001 011 NAPLES, Dec. 10. Fur the Wit week a report has been circulating in various quarters is Naples that the Piedmontese were shortly to march upon Rome. It 'rim, aSMORPt the troops themselves, and on the principle that the is no dust without a wind, I hare ender.- touted to train it to its origin. Is it that some umierstaadins is being arrived at between the French and Piethacatess, and that the former, find ing that they caanot create a party by stirring up eouf usion, are disposed to make a merit of necessity, and are cowing f o rth a s the friends of Italian unity and iudependenco 1 That there is an approximation between the two parties is evident, from the fact that an armistice between the Gaeta royalists and Victor Immanuel has been agreed upon for 15 days, the prosecution of the preparations for the siege not to be continued ; that in the interval the Impact will use his hest services to persuade Francis IL to evacuate Gaeta, and not succeeding will then with draw hie Beet and permit the siege to be commenced from the sea. I have been up to the Hospital of San Sebastian this afternoon, and even there party spirit has found its way. There is the Garibaldi director still clinging to the office which has been given to the Piedmontese director, and no good blood exists between thew. In the English ward • clergyman, a German, is performing service to a portion of the invalids, who are seated around him. Two were laid up with dangerous attacks of smallpox, and why they were brought in here it would be difficult to say. One poor fellow, called Campbell, is in a hopeless state, and has been gradu ally declining ever since he Gann here. " Are your triends anxious about you—shall I send any letter for you I" I inquired. " I never had any, sir, that I can remember," coat the sneerer. It froze me. There are nearly 40 men in all in the hospital, and they are admirably treated under the benevolent and intkdatisable care of Signor Anastasio, a Neapolitan, Amongst one of the severe owes has been that of Captain L'lfetrange, who has suffered a painful operation, but is doing well. By • short cut through one of the Scour de Charitd'a rooms I get into the Piedmont's@ deport ment, where I linger by the bedside of a young boy who had been shot through the lungs ; he com plained of being robbed of everything by his atten dants and neglected, fur the discharge from his wound required continual attention. In one ward the dirt was caked on the ground, and the attem dauts were washing up crockery and kettles and plates all round the bed'. We reported both oases immediately, but heaven help them ! You may as well tat to the winds as to these Neapo litans, they promise everything and do nothing— there is no vitality in them either moral or physi cal: Almost at the extremity of the last ward is as interesting man called Giuseppe Soriano, for steely in the 14th Regiment of Piedmont's*. He had a ball through his leg, which he cannot yet place ea the ground. His wife and child had just oonie down to Had hiss On his bed I maw what I never is my life before saw on an Italian's bed, a prayer book and a Testament. " Yoe are a Protestant." " Yee, a member of the Waldensian church. 1 was Ilb years in the Piedmontsee service, gained my sub lieutenancy, and of right should Lave had my lieu tenancy. The colonel called me ow day and said that I had been talking and preaching against the Roman catholic church, and ordered me to be silent. I replied that I had done nothing of the kind ; I had read this book, showing the Testa ment, to my emnrades and officers, who were much delighted with what they heard. Well, said my officer, you must not do so any more, Colonel, I answered, I have been a good soldier, and have done my duty well, but this is an affair et 00110381008, which has nothing to du with my military duties. My lieutenancy, however, was ant accorded to me, and having obtained my retire went, I entered the service of Garibaldi, in which I have been reduced to helplessness." Lleuend Dunne is doing well, that is to say, no unfavourable symptoms have shown themselves se yet. The ball is still in hie body, sod his medical attendant cannot detect where it L.. There wars two men together, &timed as Garibaldini, one of whom shot him, and as they fled the one called one to the other " eomanclante." For two days a major—a Sieiliao—had threatened Dunne because he had refused him his brevet, and the police are under the impressive that In, W3B the 8/388/ii linp. 11 Preparation* are making fur the election al depu ties, and the republicans are in the held.

THE EXPRESS, FRANcB:. TI '. ~hr (Moe ova owe coennteetsort) ••• PARIS, BATUILDAT BYEIRMO. Count de Persigny, whom you have for some time been expecting in London, left Pails this morning for that destination. There is great discrepancy in " well-informed" quarters, as to the cause of his The and the probable dur a ti on o f hi s a b seuce. The readers of the Opinion Nationak are told that be was summoned by • telegram announcing that the Countess de Penugny was on the eve of her con finement. The Pays says that he will make but • " momentary stay" According to the Paine he has gone to pan • few days" in Loedun, on pri vate business. A well known lithographic sheet says, in one page , that be will be A i gent "a fort night," and n another "three week&" I have no means of knowing, but I think it worth while to mention • rumour that K. de Per has a mission to the English government on the subject of diplomatic observations from Lord John Russell, provoked by the Emperor's equivo cal conduct with regard to the siege of Gaeta. The I*dependance says, but I have heard no echo of this news, that K de Penigny is likely to he translated to the department of Foreign Affairs, giving up thety. Home-o ffi ce to an old imperial favou nts_ M. Lai The pamphlet insisting upon the necessity of Austria's selling Venetia is very much talked about, and although not exactly written with the Empe ror's dictation, there can be no doubt that it repre sents the views which he oountenances for the moment. The independence goes so far as to assert that the proof sheets were submitted to him, and that he made alterations in some of them. We are now fast approaching spring, when, if the Italian question be not settled, everybody regards a war as certain. The Paine calls the pamphlet in ques tion a coup de canon, and there is a strong impres sion that d Austria does not give way and adopt • course dictated by her obvious interest, a cases NM will arise not only with Italy, but with Franoe. We are expecting to beer that Francis 11. Las evacu ated Gaeta, but only to go to Rome, where he will still be under Freach protection, and will plot with the Pope against Italian unity. Nevertheless one of the latest letters says that young Bombe is still very obstinate, and has been raising a good deal of money to carry on the war by the sale of his Russian bonds. The Emperor Napoleon, it is said, still presses him to get out of the way, but why on earth does he keep iu the way himself I The beet of all pressure would be to leave him alone. The complexion of the Bourse was the same as yesterday—dull and little business doing. The rents roes ba for each, and fell 10c. for account, closing at 68.75 and 68.80. Mobilier fell 2.60. The Orleans Railway fell 2.50, and Northern and Lyons, 1.25. There was scarcely any change in the other lines There is much talk of the probability of a new loan of 760 million., the pretext for which will be the loss occasioned to the revenue by the treaty of commerce.

How II eams. about was the question which the jury had in peed degree to de terrains. Although no lives were last woo the measion, in pursosirs of a custom followed in the =el Lesko • coroner's inquest was held on the la yer et at Cuildbia, before Br. Serjeant Pa sot by Sts= of the jury . which then mat the defendants wee held Veda for the origin of the are. On the pents. ones= the nut. dance on the ode of the plaintiffs went to show that in lay ing down the gam at Morley' the defendants' somata had Dot used proper precautions-Ist, in not baiting on the lights being put out before they commenced working; and, secondly, in not following the mode proper on occonons where a main wee so clime to the external wall, and where the ser vice pipe to be inserted was so large, namely, of inserting what ii known as a T piece in the main and bladdering up the cads ; thirdly, the window ought to have been closed and the aperture in the wall caulked until the serelcie pipe was reedy to be inserted. The result of thesepreosialose not having been takes was, that the gm rushed out ia a large vohnoe from the main as soon as it had been burros, sad travelling along the trench got into the brewer between the inter ✓ims of the window grating es well r through the hole in the wall, and thus the explosion wad mused. The ex plosion took place between half-past ten and eleven ; and shortly before a Mr. Fretwell, who had occasion to visit Mr. Morley's premises, oa his ooming out and seeing the men at work at the main, told them they MOM poisoning the people in thebasement sogreat was the smell of gas there. For the defence it was alleged—first, that it was not the defendants' gsa which had caused the explosion, but that of the Chartered Or Company ; and seccnidly, that supposing it was the defeedants , gas, they had nevertheless used all ordinary known precautions to prevent the occurrence of accident, and that being so, and they acting under the authority of an act of parlia ment, were not liable for any consequences which might arise from the exercise of their powers. Coder the first head it waii attempted to be shown that there had been as ems= of gas on the premises, arising from the alleged neghgenee of a servaut of Morley, in not turning off one of the burners on the Saturday eight previous. Gam had been smelt on the staircase before the accident, and • man named Valiant in Morley's employment, swore that about ten minutes post ten on the blooiby morning there was a strong smell of gas on the losement. Still, however, the defendants had taken all ordinary and common precautions to prevent accident; secondly, it Aas not ii.isal toinsert • T piece where the service pipe bore an adequate proportion to the main. Here the main was :1 inches, and the service pi, e li. Nor win it ever the custom to bladder where a T piece was =inserted. Although it was not the invariable custom to caulk up the hole in the external wall, yet upon this axes= the de. fondants' servants had Illed it up with tow, which they had rammed home tight. The men bed called upon Morley's servants to pot out the light., ad as they had re fused, Morley should be visited with the conseqnsoess. The powire of gas in the main was not very great—it would have been much greater at night ; and neither Brkknell nor Allen. the men employed, bad perceived any strong pre monitory smell to ware them that the las wee maples in large volumes. The tendency of ps was to rise and diffuse itself, and for it to havo got into the basement through the interstices of the grating it must fleet have &acceded and then deeceoded. We scientific evidence was called on either side. The Chief Justice, in summing up, told the jury it was not enough for the defendants to establish that they had used all onlinsry precautions, they must show that they had adopted all reasonable and proper precaution. having reference to the surrounding circumstances. As, for example, the lights burning so the basement, the open window, end the proximity of the main to the external walL True, the defeedenta' servants had asked Morley 's roes to put out the lights ; but then ought they not have gone farther, and on the refusal of the men have seen Mr. Morley himself, who was on the premises, and have pointed out to him the risk of their being kept a light. On the other hand, no attempt had been made to disprove the state ment of the defendants servants, that the hole in the external wall had been adequately caulked. But it had been rather too largely assorted by the de. (methods, that as they were carrying on a lawful trade the exercise of ordinary prudence would exonerate them from all consequences Could the jury come safely to any other conclusion than that it was the gas of the de. fesidante which caused the explosion, and if so, could the defendants be held responsilde for not having examined reasonable precauticie to avoid accident? The jury retired to consWer their verdict at half-past two, and about half-past four they sent down word to the Lod Cbid Justice that they were not likely to agree. However, at Ave o'clock they entered the tout, when, in anov a to the question whether they had agreed upon their verdict, The Foreman said they were not agreed upon the first question, namely, whether it was the defendants' gas which mewl the explosion; but they wets &grinder to the 'wood, NAVAL AND MILITARY.

It was hoped that such a rally would take place as would be sufficient to keep manatee tames well on, until within a few days of Christmas, but there has been roach of diaappoiatment in that respect ; the factors' orders recently distributed have been small ; the bulk of the manufacturers will have very few in hand to commence next week, and not many more will come in this year, so that the Christmas holidays will in all probability commence early sod extend beyond the usual time. But notwithstanding this adverse state of things, the artisans have not suffered materially, for it should be mentioned as a good trait in the character of Birmingham manufacturers that they never discharge their workpeople as loog as they canes propriety keep them on by making rods for dock.
