ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 9th, in the Messaggere Modanese, states that the Papal Government has de termined to order all naked statues in the churches to be covered, including the little marble angels that have for ages been expised to public gaze, and the Genius at the tomb of Clement, by Canova. By the same account, paintings are likely to undergo the same ordeal. _ _ _ The Tuscan Illonitore of the 19th, publishes a con vention concluded between Tuscany and Rome for the better repression of smuggling. In its sitting of the 21st the Senate of Turin passed the Bill abolishing the feudal right of the bannalita, by which the tenant was obliged to have his corn ground at his landlord's mill, by 51 votes to 7. The Milan Gazette announces the arrival of Field- Marshal Radetzky at Verona, on the 19th. The Relief Committee for the victims of the late inundation at Brescia has published an account of the moneys it has received from all parts of Italy since the disaster. It amounts to 618,078 f., of which 356,659 f. have been expended up to the 30th ult. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC LAITY TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Your columns have this week contained an address of congratulation and gratitude to his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, purporting to come from the Roman Catholic laity; I am anxious to state why I, though one of that laity, refused to sign the address. Seeing how the Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain was pros pering, I may well doubt the wisdom of petitioning for, as I may also question the policy of establishing, the hierarchy. But be that as it may, when I contrast the quiescent state of the country as it was last September with the criminations and recriminations, not unaccom panied with danger to the public peace, which have since prevailed, and still prevail—a state of irritation unfor tunately aggravated by other influences, yet all the direct consequences of the publication of the Papal do cument, and certain pastorals ~ ..ccompanying it—l cannot join in an expression of thanks to the chief, though, I am sure, unintentional, promoter of this wide spread and, to the Roman Catholic body, I fear, lasting mischief. I confine this letter to this one point, reserving to my self, when Parliament shall meet, the further expression of any opinions that I may then deem it necessary to state. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Stonor, Henley-en-Thames, Dec. 26. CAMuYS. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Lond'in New Price Current,.l}:e..27.) Stroan.—The market ha; been cl..sed since last Fri day, but will re-open on Thursday next with several public sales. Although no advance is looked for in the early part of January, still a good home trade demand is auticipated, as dealers hold small stocks, and impors are likely not to be generelly equal to the correspond ing month of 1850; at all the ports duty has been pail up to the prevent time on Colonial and Foreign Sugar upon 273,000 tons, against 263,000- to the same time last year; and stocks are 33,000 tons lees than at that time. The receipts here of every sort reach 179,000, in 1849 to 200,000, stocks are 58,000, and in 1849 76,000 tons. The Gaz'tte Average Price of West India exceeds last year's by as per cwt, and the stock is now 7,700 tons, against 16,300 in the previous season. REFINED.—Thert, is more firmness in the Refined Sugar-market, and supply is less than in the pr e vious .week; home dealers have been buyers to a fair extent, and rather higher rates are obtained, with a prospect of 6.33riak demand taking place in January. Sales of brown Grocery Lumps have been made at 503 6d; Standard Lumps 51s 63; Tittlers, common to fine, 513 to 543; double 533 61 to .54s ; Hamburgh Loaves 51s 63 to 553, and doable 55; 63 to 56;; there is a reluctance to sell fig delivery at these rates, as a dill'. rence exists of wily 12s per cwt between the value of standard Lueaps and fair workieg Sugar, with a consumption exceeding that oflast year. Wet Lumps are firm in price, and in fair reqnee: at from 47s to 49; for common to free. Supplies of Dutch made goods are falling off, and several pare-I; have been sold at from 50; to 54; for Leaves; there is also a firm market. Bastard; are operated in with caution, brown at 29; to 32; 63, and yellow at 333 to 37s for low to fine.

The demand does not im prove fur Crushed Sugar for export, but as refiners are obtaining small profits they decline to sell at a reduction, and require for British 28; 61 to 30s, Dutch 253 to 27; 6d, fine and superior 28s to 29; 63, and Belgian from 26; 6d to 283 6,i; there is no increase in production. Treacle for export is not much required, but is held for 123 6d to 133; Bastards fur the same purpose are also operated in with caution, at from 19; 61 to 213, and Pieces at 26s 63 to 27;.

Home trade deliveries amount to 30,000, and in the previous season to 31,000 tons. By private contract small parcels have changed hands, but buyers show great reluctance to pay any rise on present quotations, although fdw parcel; of the new crop have been received, and the clock is nearly all in the possession of second hands.'i The value of low to fine yellow may be considered from 37; 63 to 435, brown 32s to 37e, and refining qualities 36s to 41s per cwt; these rate; aro 2; to 3; above those existing at this period las year. The quality of the new crop continues to be au perior to 1849. EAST INDIA.—Tho importations of Bengal this year, ni to the present time, reaches 29,000 t ons , aga i ns t 3 ,400 last year.

Many entertain an opinion that arrivals will continue to fall off from the Havannah in the ensuing year. Prices of Foreign Sugar are, on an average, 3s per cwt above last season. From shippers the inquiries have bort limited, and the home trade are little inclined to "purchase; still holders refuse to sell under prices equal to those paid previously, and few samples are brought forward.

It appears that the directors of this company hove de termined not to give way in any respect to the engine drivers and firemen on the line. The recant agitation with regard to the apprehended " strike" will be sup pressed as speedily as possible, by giving notice to those men who are not disposed to conform to the regulations of the company to quit their service. It is stated on good authority that the directors have had more than ample assistance offered them from the locomotive depart ments of several railway companies to carry on the traffic in case the threatened strike should be carried into effect. It is also stated that a large number of engine-drivers are at present out of employment, and would be glad of an engagement. The respectable en gine-drivers on the London and North-Western Railway are anxious to retain their situations, and there is a general opinion among them that it is better for those who are not disposed to abide by the regulations of the company that they should leave the service quietly and seek employment elsewhere before their characters are damaged by unruly conduct, and leave those in the ser vice who wish to remain undisturbed. It is very clear from the proceedings at the late meetings of the drivers that the meta on the southern division are by no means disposed to make common cause with the men in the northern division against a regulation which is expected to work advantageously for all parties. With regard to the alleged intended amalgamation of the northern and southern divisions, there appears to be no foundation for it, because it is stated that the southern division is already too large for one manage ment, and therefore there is no intention of amalgama ting it with the northern division. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Lane, an Irishman, was charged with stab Bing another Irishman, named M'Carthy, with a clasp knife. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner and a number of his countrymen went into the Nag's Head pablic-house, in Compton-street, to have some porter. A querrel ensued, which ended in a fight. A witness, named Kingston, saw the prisoner take two quart pots from the table, fill them with boiling water from the copper in the tap .room, and throw the scalding contents over the persons present. He then drew from his pocket a clasp-knife and stabbed Kingston. After wards he stabbed another man named M'Certhy in the face and body. M'Carthy was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where h© was at present lying. The other man's wounds were of a slighter nature. Police-constable Redman said the wounds of M'Curthy were three in number, and of a serious character. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the matter. He was remanded until Friday. William Ahorn, an Irish labourer, was charged with having kicked out the eye of James Fleming. The complainant said:that the prisoner, who lied bean drinking, - began to be very quarrelsome in Cambridge court, and offered to fight with anybody and everybody. Complainant got him into the house where he lodged, and the prisoner walked up two or three stairs, and then, turning suddenly round, aimed a dreadful kick at his face, which split his nose and drove the eye completely from the socket. Complainant screamed with agony, and the defendant was then secured. Complainant was taken to Middlesex Hospital with his eye hanging on his cheek. His wounds were dressed, and he was informed he would most likely never recover the sight of that eye. The prisoner said he was drunk, otherwise he should not have injured the man who was doing good to him. Remanded till Friday. WANDS WORTH. After the disposal of the ordinary night charges, Edward Amos, a man about twenty-eight years of age, was brought from the House of Detention, Clerken well, and placed in the dock before Mr. Beadon, on a remanded charge from the Marylebone Police court, on his own confession of setting fire to certain warehouses and workshops belonging to Captain Thomas Ross, and situate in the vicinity of Clapham-common, on the evening of Friday, the 20th inst. The first witness examined was Richard Young, a police-constable of the D division, to whom the prisoner surrendered himself, and who recapitulated the testimony which he gave at the Marylebone Police-court. Captain Thomas Ross sworn—The damage done was considerably more than 1,000/.; the buildings destroyed, although temporary, being very extensive, covered with slate roofing, and containing large quantities of ma• hogany, cedar, and other expensive woods, besides a vast number of flooring-boards, and every description of ma terial required for fifteen or sixteen first rate houses. There was also a pile of deals near the buildings des troyed. The prisoner was at work on the premises for some weeks, under my contractor, Mr. John Wood. He was not discharged; he left of his own accord. Some weeks since he came to me and said, " I'm about being sent off those premises, and I don't see why I should be put out of work. You are getting some holdings' made, and will you give me so much a hundred to make them?" I said, " My good fellow, I don't see why you should be driven away, you shall do them at the price." He went away, and I did not see him again. I said to the priso ner, wfaen I saw him at the station, " You could have had no motive to injure me." The prisoner made no reply, but as I was coming away he said, Now, sir, I've done this act, and I am ready to give you all the satis faction in my power." The prisornr then accounted to Captain Ross for the way in which he had disposed of his time during the evening in question. He said that ho found the workshop door open. He made some other remarks, one of which was that he supposed he should ❑ot g: .t more than seven years. He also said he had remained in the building until he was very cold. He did not know what came over him, but he ultimately conclud,d hewould do it, and did do it. By Mr. BEADON—IIe did not in any of his converse. tiers show any hostile feeling to me. Witness ascer tained that all the facts the prisoner had mentioned were true. The prisoner had nn questions to ask the prosecutor. John Wood said he was contractor for part of the work. The prisoner worked for him up to three weeks since. He was not discharged, but he told him ho would be if he did not marry his sister. They had never quarrelled, but ho had spoken strongly to him about his sister. Captain Ross here said he had omitted a part of the prisoner's statement to him. He was very angry towards the Woods. He said he would have his revenge, and wished they'd been there to be burnt. Mr. BE DON said this was the most important evidence yet given. Caroline Weed was next examined—She had known the prisoner some time, and had had a child by him, which was three years old. He had promised to marry her. He had said he would have his revenge on her brother on the Wednesday previous to the fire. Alfred Wood proved that he saw the prisoner write, and the threatening letter produced as sent to Mr. Chris topher Ross, was in his handwriting. The letter was produced by Inspector Coleman, but the contents have already been made public. The prisoner was then formally committed, but will be brought up on Monday for the depositions to be completed. RAIL WA Y RE T URNS TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. NAME OF RAILWAY.

PRESIDENT FILMORE AND THE GREAT EXHIBITION. —lt was expected that the President of the United States would be amongst the personages to reach London in 1851, but the following letter, addressed to Mr. Steil, of Manches ter, dissipates the expectation of that pleasure :—" Washing ton City, D. C., United States, Dec. 1, 1850. William S. Steil, Esq., Manchester. My dear Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter of the Bth ult., through Mr. Randall, expressing the hope that I may visit the World's Fair in London in May next, and assuring me that if I do so I shall receive a cordial welcome from my countrymen in England, and tendering me the hospitalities of your own house whilst I remained at Manchester. Pre vious to the death of my lamented predecessor I had antici pated the pleasure of visiting London at the time of the fair, but I deem it now impossible to leave my official duties here; and your kind letter causes a still deeper regret at my dis appointment. Were it possible for me to be absent for such a length of time, nothing could be more gratifying th an t o accept your proffered spitalities. I well recollect meeting you and your lady in the fall of 1837, and should be ex tremely happy to renew the acquaintance. Independent of that, I have always felt a strong desire to visit Great Bri tain. Its soil is classic ground to me, and I should be most happy to be able to make a personal comparison between the leading men of that country and my own, and to See how far we have improved upon the political institutions of the mother country. But this must be deferred till a more con venient season. Accept my thanks for your kindness; re member me moat cordially to your lady, and believe me truly yours, Umlauts) Fll 419/t14."

Assistant-Surgeons—James Campbpll (A) (1845), to the Imaum, 72, receiving ship at Jamaica; Julian W.

Pendrith (1850), (acting), to the Samson; and Robert Creighton (1850), (acting), to the Victory flag ship at Portsmouth. It may be here mentioned, for the satisfaction of the West Indian interest and those who have friends in that quarter of the world, that the above appointments of Assistant-Surgeon James Campbell to the Imaum, and severar.Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons we have re c,ntly announced as baing appointed to be borne on the books of that vessel, have been znacli for the purpose of their serving at Jamaica during the prevalence of the cholera there. We deem it but justice to the Admiralty, who have responded to the appe,il to them for aid, to npike this cxplination, as thousands have no idea that the appointments to the linauni are for the purpose we have stated.

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 27.—We are to-day only mode rately supplied with all articles. The business passing in wheat is very limited, and all except the best qualities are sold on easier terms. Raley is not offered so freely, and for fine heavy qualities better prices are obtained, and other descriptions meet rather more attention. Oats and shelling meet a very dull sale, and lower.

NEWBURY, DEC. 26.—The quantity of wheat in offer to-day is but moderate, but mostly of very inferior condition. What old was in offer, together with the best-selected new, fully realised late rates, but other de scriptions are quite a drug; and although lower rates would have been taken, yet few sales were effected. Barley, in large supply, with but little of malting quality, which commands full rates; but other sorts are offering at a reduction of le per quarter, without lead ing to any clearance. Beans and peas, short supply, but unaltered in value. Oats, s h ort supply, and command late rates. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 27.—At this morning's market there was a thin attendance of the trade, and the de mand for wheat and flour was quite in retail at Tues day's prices. Oats and oatmeal met a slow sale at late rates. Indian corn neglected, and fine yellow was offered at 31s per 4801bs without leading to much business. EXETER, DEC. 27.—Cattle-market—The supply to day has been moderate, but with no very brisk demand. The best fat beef sold freely at 8s per score. in some in stances 8s 6d was asked, and we believe in one instance that sum was made. Beef of more ordinary quality sold at 7s to 7s 6d per score. Cows and calves sold at rather better prices than of late, from 7115 s to 13/10s being made. Barreners about 5s per score. The supply of sheep was also moderate, large fat wethera did not yield more than 4id per lb. Small nice - wethers sold tolerably free at 5d per lb. Ewes 4d to 40 per lb.

Corn Exchange—But little business has been done to-day, and at a decline in price. The b es t E ng lish wheat did not exceed ss, and prices must be quoted 4i 6d to 5s per bushel. In foreign scarcely anything doing, red French was offered at 403 per qr. (60lb. to the bushel); and hard Kubanka wheat, 34s per qr.; malting barley 33 to 3s 3d per bushel; oats, is 10d ditto to 23; fine flour, 27s to 293 per sack of 2801bs.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. FOREIGN WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 27.—We hare no change to report in this market since last week. The demand continues good for this season of the year, and prices firm. ENGLISR WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 27.—There has nol been any change in this market this week. Tne de. mand is active, and prices are firm, with an upward ten. dency. TRADE or LEEDS.—Business has been brisker at our Cloth Halls both on Saturday and Tuesday than has been the case for a long time past, stimulated in some measure by the expectation that from the advance in the price of wool and the probable advance in dyeing, goods will be higher. The stocks in the manufacturers' bands are very light, and good employment is generally ex pected through the district during the winter. A pretty extensive business has been done in the warehouses since this day week, and the shipping houses are more active than usull at this period of the year. HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. 24.—Considering that the year is so near its close, the market to-day has been a very good one—more than an average at this season of the year. The demand was principally for low woollens, and for fancies of low quality. BRADFORD, DEC. 26.—Wools—There is not so much doing in wools as we reported last week, and for two reasons—one that there is not the same supply and choice of good wool, and another that higher prices are sought for what is remaining. The supply coming to the market is not great, and the staplers complain both of the high prices which dealers are asking, and of the growers holding for higher prices than they are justified 'in giving. Noils and broker are in good reqthlt, at firm prices. Yarns—The business doing to-day is not very Christmas market, an day, th ere i s not ttexiitaeynserivaeg.e number of Yesterday being rs at d the' tone exhibited An indifference about taki ng or d ers f or January deliitery at prices now current; say 10 3 per: gross, for dpitml4 t ino o p . ,aLiyun:bb'eyrsei3uoDa.;: ftierchuitaf or minufa c t urer ii i h ot h c 464:Pieces-I-There is but Vry li _ - being engaged in taking stock. Nothing is done except for next year's account, at firm price. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, DEC. 26.—The market on Tuesday, though not so excited as (hose of last week, was very active, and the closing rates of last week were fully eustained. To day we have not had so full an at teutlance on the Exchange; the day after Christmas - day is here perhaps generally too much devoted to the plea sures incident to such a festive period of the year for it I to be expected, but still there has been a respectable ' amount of business transacted, and neither manufacturers nor spinners appear to have been over anxious to part with goods. The consequence is that prices have been steadily and firmly maintained, both in cloth and yarns, and these stocks have been much diminished, as in the case of goods for India and China, and for some descrip tions required by the home trade, there is an upward tendency in prices. It is said that some of the India letters have hardly borne out the anticipations induced by the satisfactory sketch of the markets brought by electric dispatch for the newspapers, and that conse quently the action on the market was premature; but be that as it may, there appears to be a well-sustaine d trade, and manufacturers in some cases have been placed under contract to the end of March, and in many instances both soinnere and manufacturers are engaged to the end of January. Reviewing the rise of prices, and comparing present rates with those of last month, the result is nearly as follows:—Domestics one sixteenth to one,ighth per yard higher ; T cloths and long-cloths, lid per piece. In seven-eighths printing cloths there is an advance of 31 on the better qualities, and of lid per piece on the lower. In 36-inch printers and shirtiugs the advance is to 3d. In 40,inch . p shirtiugs, 4 reeds and uwards, there is an advance of 3d to 4id per pi ece , an d of 10 to 3d per piece on the lower reeded skirtings of this width. There has been rather more business in India qualities of Bolton jacco nets, and the quotations are about lid per piece extra. In yarns the chief advance is in India mule twist, and in cop yarns, such as are in request rather extensively by home manufacturers. In 20's mule, for instance, both of ordinary and better kinds, the advance is ge nerally id per lb upon Tuesday wee k. Th e same remark sr plies to 30's and 50's (the betterqualities of the latterin some instatces be,ng nearly a id q hi g her), and in 6V the advance is id ter lb, and in 80's and 90's about as Water twist is also rather i n a d va nce of last price s. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace: The week now closing is generally a very quiet one, yet there is a g limpse of ta better state of things, as the Germans, contra r y to the i r usual practice, have been buying fancy goods , which is a good sign; they ar e ver y l ow i n stock, end therefor must shortly purchase to rose extent. T he bornee houses, also, may be expected soon to commence opera tions.er Hosiery—This b e i ng a grea t holiday week, th er e e i 3 of course but little doing in the warehouses , a nd tn workmen generally are, t o the extent of their means, e n joying the festive season.—Nottingham Journal. LEICESTER TRADE.—This week fully the usual amount of business for the season of the year has been done, and as soon as the stock-takings and holidays are over, it may be confidently expected that a healthy Sal' vity in trade will prevail.—Nottingham Journal.

MARGARET'S CHURCHYARD, IrEs7l - In the Report on Extramural Sepulture, page 8 ' D a Reid says, " that the stat e o f th e burying-ground WO St. Margaret's churchyard is prejudicial to the air 0% plied to the Houses of P ar li a m e nt, and also to the wh° l. neighbourhood ;" that " these offensive emanation s ha v i been noticed at all hours of the night and mornive that even "fresh meat is frequently tainted" by the leterious influence of gases issuing from this same ch ar u yard. I reiterate these facts here, in order to t ell y o as a sequel how very little good has followed their en oh ciation.
