The enthusiasm of the Italians is never in default. A
battalion of the National Guard of Florence arrived at
Turin at half-past seven on the evening of the 6th. The
neighbourhood of the railway station was so crowddd
that one-third of the whole population of the 'city must
have been collected. The mass of people was so dense
that it took the Tuscans two hours and a half to reach
their barracks, distant only a little more than a mile.
All the houses were illuminated and dressed out with
flags. As they were marching along one of the persons
thought he saw Count Cavour at a balcony, when the
college immediately stopped and raised a loud cry of
" Long live Oasour.!" When near the Royal Palace
the band struck up the national 'Winn, and the accla-
mations of the people redeuhled.

affair has ?taken *tact at Saigon (Cochin China), in
which the garrison was engaged, and experienced some
Ross, :particularly the officers. This paragraph is given
very vaguely in the Toulonnais, and does not clearly

The Right Rev. Dr. James Chapman has intimated
to the authorities at home, his intention to resign the
bishopric of Colombo, to which he was appointed in
1845, on account of failing health, and will only remain
in the diocese anti his successor is appointed. The see,
which comprises the island of Ceylon, is worth £2,000 a-
year, which is paid out of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund,
It appears from the Registrar General's report issued
this week that the public health of the metropolis
continues in a favourable condition, the deaths for
the week being 1,075, a slight increase over the
previous week, but below the average for past ten years.
During the week there were registered the births of
982 boys and 834 girls-1,816 in all. For the City
of London the medical officer's report shows a slight
increase in the number of deaths during the past
week over the proportion for the month previous. Not-
withstanding this fact, the number, relatively to the
average of the corresponding periods for the last five
years, prove a decrease in the rate of mertality. The
proportion of deaths for the past month is 44 ; propot-
tion for the past week, 51; for the like period in five
years, 43. The births registered during the week were
.54, 32 boys and 22 girls.
At the Middlesex Sessions, on Tuesday, William Rose
was indicted for stealing jewellery of the value of
£7O, the property of Mrs. Wood, residing at Cam-
bridge-place, 1414 Park. The prisoner, who was
said to be an architect, had acted in a most ungrateful
manner in this case, having been allowed to visit at
the prosecutor's house, and had been shown much
kindness in consequence of his representations that,
through his father's cruelty, he was in great difficulties.
It was while in the house under these circumstances that
he availed himself of the opportunity to perpetrate the
robbery. A previous conviction having been proved
against him, the prisoner was sentenced to 18 months'
hard labour. Joseph Wertheimer, a commercial traveller,
was charged with embezzlement from his master. There
was also another indictment against him for larceny. The
prosecutor was a cigar and tobacco manufacturer, in
Carlisle-street, Soho. Some features of this case were
of a very aggravated character, on account of which,
the jury finding a verdict of guilty, the prisoner was
sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for five years.

The Euston station of the London and North Western
Railway is now in process of being entirely renovated.
The interior of the entrance-hall, board-room, and
extensive suite of offices is to be repainted and embel-
lished, and sliding and turn-tables on a new principle
have been constructed on the platform contiguous to the
station. The terminus will be rendered more easy of
access to the public in 1861 by the removal of several
houses in Drummond-street and Seymour-street, the
property having been purchased, and the tenants duly
served with notice by the company.
The Staffordshire Advertiser says :—" The beautiful
private chapel of the Earls of Shrewsbury in the famed
Alton Towers, which, up to the demise of the late earl,
had been devoted to the service of the Romish ohurch,
was last week re-opened for Protestant worship, accord-
ing to the rites of the Church of England. Upon this
occasion the service was full choral, and almost exclu-
sively Gregorian, including Merbeck's glorious music to
the Nicene Creed ; the choristers, numbering some
ninety, voices, were members of the choirs of Alton,
Freehay, Oakamour, and Denstone, and were under the
direction of Mr. Barry, choirmaster to the Cheadle
Association for the Promotion of Church Music. Mr.
Barry also presided at the organ, and his masterly play-
ing was a theme of general admiration, and fully cor-
roborative of his high professional reputation. The
service was intoned by the Rev. G. Mather, and the
sermon was preached by the Rev. m. Fraser, the
domestic chaplain to the Earl of Shrewsbury."
