A letter from Rome says :—" It is rare for
robbers in Rome to vesture upon erseseeeked soil ; but a
few days—or, rather, nights—ago the precincts of the
Salesian nrinneey, on the Palatine Hill, were invaded by
thieves, who stumbled into the cell of Sister Carseciolo.
That holy virgin protested her poverty, sad requested the
robbers to retire while she deemed, promising to lead them
to the apartment of the ebbs,. The abhor happened to
have a thousand scudi with which to provide for the wants
of her flock ; but she feigned poverty also, and dated that
all payments were made by the jattore, who lived outside
the nunnery. The disappointed depredators, looking about
for available plunder, pounced upon a very splendid mind,
a present from the Pope, set with jewels, and worth about
1200 wadi. They eagerly inquired what it Wes, but the abler
told them meekly that it was only one of the nuns' handi-
works with paste ornameete. In fact the robbers got only
some spoons and 28 paula (125.) in money, and they de-
camped at last without hadat in any other way performed
the pert of ravening wolves in that innocent fold."
Tits Diflaßrffit no THE Fars.—The crisis appears
to be pest in the fens for the present. On Friday and
Saturday the tides fell, and no increase of the inundations
is anticipated till the next spring tides, which will reach
their highest point OD the 27th or 28th instant. Ten pre-
cious days are, therefore, available for the adoption of pre-
cautionary measures. Sir John Bunk, C.E., arrived on
Friday, and fresh plans are now being matured to check
the further progress of the inundations, and to clear the
levels from the accumulations of salt water, from which
they are at present suffering. The damage already inflicted
is enormous, and a public subscription is proposed for the
relief of some of the sufferers who are almost mined by
the unprecedented disaster. The damage sustained by Br.
E. Fellows, H.P., the chairman of the middle level com-
missioners, has been very considerable and the commis-
sioners generally are personally interested in the safe pre.
serution of the district.
Harem iraerrvai.—The great roof over the
orchestra at the Crystal Palace will be
lle' ntirely completed,
and the scaffold removed, by the
.great wer show, Satur-
day next, 24th May. The following particulars respecting
its construction. dimensioes, he., may be interesting. his.
supported by five wooden girders stretching across the
entire width of the orchestra-216 feet. The main
weight of these girders Testa upon iron casings, filed
round the columns supporting the transept root thus
forming an independent structure from the foundation.
The solidity and Ammon of the Great Trans?' are.
iu
fact, very considerably strengtheeed by this additeoe. The
ceiling covers a space 216 feet wide by 120 feet in depth, and
infthe front is nearly 100 feet high ; 5,600 square yards
of
canvas were used to line the matolihearding composing
the ceiling. Tbeorgan is receiving considerable additions
for the Festival ; one stop, a 32 feet reed, is expected to add
enormously to the full body of tone so much needed in large
orchestras. The organ, however, is to-day beard at rimer
derable diedvaetage, as until the scaffold around it is
moved it moot be finally tuned ; enough, however, may
be heard of its powers to show the improvement resulting
from the casstructiou of the roof.
ST. THOMAS'B HOSPITAL.—We (Obserser) under-
stand it has been determined by the goveroms to build a
receivinghouse in St. Thomas's-street, on ground belong-
ing to the hospital., to contain 100 beds, for accidents cod
casualties, with a dispensary for the sick poor of the neigh-
bourhood. The hospital will be reconstructed on a site in
the neighbourhood of London, to contain 1,000 bode, and
will doubtless be the finest establishment of the kind in
