At Turin. the execution of General Ramorino had cre. ated considerable sensation. The manner in which be met his fate is thus described in a letter of the 22d ult : General Ramorino was executed in the Champ de Mars. The General preserved his sangfroid to the last moment, and died like a real soldier. He walked to the ground dressed in his full uniform, surrounded by a stro ng b o d y of troops, who with difficulty kept back the immense crowd the spectacle had collected. Ramorino exclaimed in a loud voice, " I protest against my sentence, and de clare, in the presence of God, that I die innocent." He then gave the order to fire. Yesterday the lawyers, Brofferio, Saracco, and Iraschini, p resen t e d t h emselves at the Royal Palace to intercede in favour of the General; but his Majesty was too much affected to receive them. THE PAPAL STATES.—The Monitore Romana, of the 24th ult., announces that Captain Dubrowolski, of the general staff, is commissioned to organize and command the foreign legion now forming. Two hundred Tuscans had arrived at Rome to serve under the Republic; many Piedmontese tirailleurs have deserted, with arms and baggage, for the same purpose. French subjects were daily dropping in with the same view. The French troops were peacefully encamped in the vicinity of Rome, and did not intercept the communications. Letters from Florence of the 25th ult. announce the arrival there of the Austrian troops on that day ; 20,000 were expected, but only 6,000 would stay; the rest were to march towards the Roman states. A rumour was current that the British Ambassador had applied to the Extraordinary Commissioner, that Guerrazzi might be delivered up to him. Another rumour stated that a French corps had landed at Porto San Stezano. It appears that although the Austrian intervention is made in the name of the Pope, his holiness is so little respected by the Austrian soldiers, that in every house in Bologna which they entered, and where they found a bust of the Pope, they amused themselves by decapitating it with their sabres. Thus whilst Pius the Ninth is rejected by the Romans as a tyrant, he is hated by the Austrians as having been the first cause of the liberal movement.

The citizens of Cork are about to take active measures to establish wet docks on an extensive plan, so as to ena ble large vessels to unload at Cork without taking the ground. A private letter from Youghal, dated the 2d instant, states that the cholera has, within the last few days, proved fatal in a great many cases which have occurred in that town ; the writer himself, who is a highly respectable gentleman, has to lament the loss of a mother and sister. The case of cannibalism on the coast of Connemara has been investigated by the Government authorities. It turns out to be true as a fact, but the farm servant who was guilty of it was afflictegl with a diseased appetite, and was not pressed for want of food, since he had constantly been in full employment. The Union Workhouses in the South are sending out to Australia large numbers of female emigrants. One hundred and ninety young women proceeded by steamer, last week; from Cork to Plymouth, to take shipping, and seventy-five more young females were sent from the Skib bereen Workhouse as emigrants. The Duke of Manchester is the proprietor of estates in Tandragee and Portadown, in the county of Armagh, to the extent of no less than forty-three townlands, and with great munificence his Grace has informed all his tenantry that he will pay the whole of the rate-in-aid with which they may be charged. The plate and furniture of an Irish county member were last week seized under execution for debts of a long standing, and the whole lot transferred to Dublin for the more ready convenience of speedy sale. On Wednesday last they were "submitted to public competition," and exchanged owners at prices extremely agreeable to pur chasers, but leaving ample scope for complaint on the part of creditors. The province of Pernambuco was tranquil, and business was resuming more activity. There had been some strong gales of wind along the coast. River Plate affairs remained as per last advice. CURIOUS STORY----" A member of the Celtic Society," in a letter to the Freeman's Journal, states that he saw, a short time before the death of Mr. O'Connell, in his library, at Merrion-square, a collection of rare old pro clamations, which he alleges must have been stolen, as they were subsequently sold to a chandler as waste paper. The " Celt" says that there were 130 proclamations issued by the Irish Government between 1685 and 1691. THE DlSTRESS.—Archbishop M'llale has published, in the Freeman's Journal, a long letter, addressed " to her M'ijesty Queen Victoria," describing the frightful desti tution of the west, and concluding with a request that her Majesty will be pleased to dismiss from her councils those unprofitable servants at present in -place and, in their stead, call thereto " abl e men , suc h as f ear God, in whom there is truth, and that hate avarice; who, in their ad ministration, will reflect some portion of the beneficence of the throne." Letters from Toulon of the 30th ult. state that accounts had been received from Civita Vecchia, dated the 26th, mentioning that M.

Tranquillity prevailed, and arrangements for the administration of the country were in progress. _ _ _ There had been a skirmish between the Scinde light horse and some marauding Murees. The former were victorious. The Murees lost forty killed and many wounded, and 1,000 head of cattle. No other news of importance. COMMERCIAL. —NO large sales made since last mail, owing to moderate arrivals of most descriptions of cotton manufactures ; the demand, however, very good, and pries well maintained.

FRANCE The election of President of the Legislative Assembly took place on Friday, and, as was expected, it has termi nated in favour of M. Dupin. The following is the result of the votes :—Number of votes. 6C9 ; absolute majority, 305. M. Dupin, 336 ; M. Ledru Rollin, 182 ; Lamoriciere, 76. M. Dupin was consequently proclaimed President.

The letter we refer to not merely exonerates in the fullest manner the Clifton supporters of the Central Training Schools, but on one or two more important points makes out a " case for the de fence." It now appears that, so far from the promoters of the schools having acted, as charged by the Tractarian archdeacon and his brother protesters at the Clifton meet ing, with a view to embarrassing a Diocesan scheme, a resolution had actually passed the Bristol Diocesan Board, as long ago as February in last year, suspending the plan of a Diocesan Training School in consequence of the fi nancial embarrassments of the period ! This admission has been made in consequence of the remonstrance of no less than six highly respectable incumbents of Clifton and Bristol, who express their conviction that the lord bishop of the diocese would have interposed to prevent the inde cent intrusion of the Tractarians at the recent Clifton meeting bad he not been absent from his diocese in at tendance on his Parliamentary duties. We happen to know that the " financial difficulties" which have ob structed the promotion of Diocesan Training Schools are less to be attributed to the times than to the rooted mis trust of the Protestant clergy and laity, occasioned by the National Society Committee hnv;.., NORTHERN man. icaucu trairun g schools, alre a dy - esta bli s h e d i n the met r opolis Lue and the vi cinity, in the hands of persons imbued with Tractarian principles ; and while trusting that the Diocesan Boards of Education will keep a watchful eye on the proposed establishment of similar schools in the dioceses of Bristol and Oxford, so as to secure to them the confidence of the great body of sound Churchmen, we hail the already suc cessful effort of Lord Ashley and others in establ a Ereat Profpct.nt- A.__ • tresses in so central a place as Cheltenham, as like. exercise a wholesome restraint on the efforts of the Bri tol (so-called) Church Union to promote the gron Anti-Anglican and Romanizing principles of educatior Church and State Gazette.

You know I ever deprecated secret associations—and, surely, it must be now deprecated more than ever." THE TRISH STATE PRISONERS.—It is said that Smith O'Brien and his companions in guilt have received an in. timation that their sentence has been commuted with banishment for life to Van Dieman's Land. whel,e they are to have tickets of leave so that they may be spared the degradation of associating with ordinary convicts. It is added, that Mr. O'Brien was labouring under consider able depression of spirits, as though he had abandoned all idea of any further mitigation of his punishment. The ill-fated gentleman had insured his life to a large amount, for the benefit of his younger children, and had already paid a sum of £2OOO on the policy of insurance, which becomes null and void in the event of his transportation for the crime of which he has been convicted. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT A DISCOUNT.—At the sale of O'Connell's library, the Freeman's Journal says :—" A little portrait of that little man, Lord John, was then put up for competition ; but, amongst a sale-room full of gentry and citizens, not a solitary bidder was found willing to hazard the risk of even by chance becoming the pos sessor of this work of art. The accomplished salesman displayed the portrait in every possible light, and solicited an initiatory movement towards setting Lord John a going, by infinitesimal beginnings in specie; but non eundum erat. It was ni use—in vain was the noble lord's eidolon turned towards each group of bystanders—in vain did Mr. Jones insinuate ' Any advance ? " Sixpence for it ? " Eightpence, did you say, sir ? ' said the indefati gable Mr. Jones Co an old gentleman with a white hat. No, sir, I didn't, nor fourpence,' replied the gentleman angrily. Oh, T beg pardon ; well, then, fourpence. Any advance ? ' Alas, no ; not a solitary bidder. Even the Liffey -street picture-brokers looked angrily at this useless and protracted inquiry as to whether there was any advance with regard to Lord John. Finally, the little lot was withdrawn, and placed side by side with rejected tracts and seedy pamphlets." Poor Lord John ! STATE OF THE WEST OF IRELAND. A correspondent of an Ulster paper (the Newry Tele graph), at present on a tour in the west of Ireland. thus in a great measure confirms all that has been said and written of the prostrate state of the province of Con naught : " It is a true report that has come to the north con cerning the ignorance, the indolence, and the present suf fering of the lower orders of the people in the west ; it is not to be conceived of till you witness it ml,o ;,, wiinebs iu. inere Is not, here, as in the north, a respectable and independent yeo manry, forming a connecting link between the higher and the lower ranks of society. You pass, at once, from the princely demesne into a region of barrenness and want— from the Drooriptor'q moncin.. al L•_ . . umusion to the mud cabin of his ..,,,,urant, and starving cottiers. There does not .ppear to be a desire, on the part of landlords, as in the north, to have an enterprising and respectable tenantry. The Thunderer 'of London—the great leviathan of the newspaper world—has dealt very severely with them, and not without cause. It is most distressing and harrassing to the feelings to see the two extremes of society —empty gaiety and fashion, and abject wretchedness, placed in such juxtaposition as they are here. The heartless aristo crat, living far above his means, has been grinding the faces of the poor to support his extravagance, and never dreaming of training up a sturdy and intelligent peasantry on his property. On the other hand, the bigot priest has been fleecing the people as far as he was able, and neither_ advancing tht.ii I.l4l , 'AlliS AND C° —On Saturday, thc adjournedi Lolgers o f thi s com pany "3 LANCASHI - - • , erry Hotel.
