NEWS OF THE DAY.

A very uncomfortable rumour was circulated in a
telegram from Naples, forwarded from Marseilles, on the
15th, to the effect that the steamer Dora, having 750
Garibaldians on board, had gone down, on its passage to
Terracina, and that the whole of the unfortunate men
had perished ; but we are glad to see that a subsequent
message forwarded also via Marseilles, says that the
report of the sad event was not confirmed.
Advices from Gaeta of the Bth inst. announce a suc-
cessful coup de main made by a small party of Royalists.
They succeeded in surprising the Piedmontese outposts,
and blew up two houses of the Borgo, having brought
barrels of gunpowder with them for the purpose.
The fire of the Piedmontese against the fortress had
increased, A large shell burst in one of the squares,
close to the King ; and some of the houses have suffered
considerably. Fifteen persons were likewise wounded
by the bursting of a shell in the hospital. It is to be
hoped by this time hostilities have finally ceased on
both sides.

It is reported that the insurrectionary movements in
the Abruzzi and Calabria have been suppressed, and
very energetic measures are being taken by the new
Government for securing tranquility throughout all parts
of the Kingdom of Naples.
It was stated, with reference to the contents of the
latest programme of proposed Austrian Reforms and
concessions to Hungary, that the concordat between the
government of the Emperor and the higher ecclesiastical
authorities in the empire, was to be abolished entirely.
but we now learn that it is merely to be revised; and

ment will be limited to the re-establishment of the
religious privileges of the Primate of Hungary.
The French Emperor has just nominated to four of the
vacant Sees clergymen of eminence in every respect,
and not less so from being staunch Gallican divines.
One of them, Abbe Ravinet, Vicar-General of Paris,
was by the side of the late Archbishop Affre, on the
barricades, where he confronted death for peace sake,
and Ravinet's hat was riddled by two musket balls.
Napoleon 111. has done his‘ duty; and the question is,
r
will Pius IX. do the same
The Empress of the French was met at Amiens by the
Emperor, on her way to Paris. Persons present repre-
sent the meeting as having been very affectionate, the
Emperor finding her Majesty looking much more heal-
thy than when she left. The Empress speaks in rap-
tures about the cordial way in which she was greeted in
England, from her Majesty the Queen, at Windsor,
down to the most humble British subject. The hearty
cheering of the people seems to have had great effect on
this gentle hearted and impressionable lady. According
to the Court Journal, the Empress has intimated her
intention of returning to England next summer,
and of making a tour of visits in Scotland.
The following is now confidently asserted to have
