EzrwsioN or Da. PANTALIONI YROIII Ronlc.—Dr.
Pantalconi, deputy to the Italian parliament, has been
expelled from Rome, where be was honourably occupied
In his profemion. He writes to the Nazione to com-
plain of having been tent away contrary to all law and
justice. His wife was taken to the police-office by sbirri,
where she was required to sign an engagement to remain

religion of the priests of Home. They are the most
ferocious enemies of Italy, and those who are men to he

out of our country! We want our priests to be
Christian, and not to belong to the religion odour
enemies. Therefore, let us have Bing Honest Man at
any prim but away with the vipers of the Eternal
City, with whom the unity of Italy becomes an
