ROMAN STATES.—Advices from Rome of the
28th ult. announce that the Minister of the Interior
on that day read the decree for the dissolution of the
two Chambers, which broke up accordingly. The
proclamation of the Roman Constituent Assembly
was expected that very evening. The civic guard
made a demonstration in favour of the constituents
cm the 27th ult.

SARDINIA.—Count Martini is appointed Minister
of Sardinia at Rome, and M. Plezza, ez-minister, has
been sent as Minister to Naples. M. Raffini is men-
tioned as the Sardinian Chargé d'Affaires at the
congress of Brussels.
The PiedmonOse Gazette of the 2nd inst. publishes an
address of the Committee of the Provinces of Parma,
Piacenza, Modena, and lteggio, to the President of
the Council of Ministers, praying for the resumption of
hostilities. This address was presented on 24th ult.

The Genoa Gazette of the la states that the Genoa
and Milan courier had returned with the letters and
journals for the latter city, the Austrians having re-
fused to let him pass the frontier. It was said that
Radeteki intended to resume hostilities himself; he
has concentrated troors on the frontier, and particn-
Indy at Piacenza, which gives easy access either to
Piedmont, Tuscany, or Romagna.
The Concordia of the 2nd inst. says: " If what is ru-
moured be true, the Austrians will shortly attack our
frontiers, whilst the Neapolitans will invade Romagna.
LOMBARBY.—A letter from Milan of the 30th
ult., published in the Concordia of Turin of the lst
states that orders have been issued to arrest any one
going into Lombardy having with them any political
paper or journal from Piedmont, and that a circular
of Radetski's of the 24th prohibited all persons from
passing into Lombardy from Piedmont except diplo-
matic or military couriers, travellers by pmt, or pri-
vate carriages, and drivers of mail coaches and car-
riages chared with merchandise.
ITALIAN DUCHIES.—The Alba, quoting a letter
from Piacenza of the 27th ult., says, to-day all the
Austrian garrison was in movemeut. The generale
was beaten, and the soldiers were under arms as if
I the enemy had arrived. This great stir was, it is
said, occas'.oned by the appearance of 30,000 Pied-
montese troops on the frontier of the duchies.
The Nationale of Florence, of the 27th ult.,
quotes a letter, which says that a certain num-
ber of Piedmontese had entered Carrara, and driv,n
, away the Tuscans. This is one ot the towns of which
Tuscany and Piedmont have disputed tt a possession,

By a grand ducal decree of the 28th ult, the Leggy,
lative Assemblies of Tuscany are convoked for the
10th inst.

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—Our intelligence from Berlin read*,
to the 4th inst. Daring the preceding day, many of
the ex-members, who, it was expected, would be en
rested, usembled under one roof, so that their arrest
might take place together, in case the senate of the
criminal tribunal came to the resolution to older their
being taken into custody. It may be observed hp*
that, although their incarceration wi I not disqualify
them as candidates at the forthcoming elections, they
may be detained in prison even after the assembling
of the chambers, unless their respective coll.-apes
vote for their liberation during the session. Now, se
the majority, if not all, of the 136 ex-members will
be, for a certainty, returned, the government and their
parliamentary abettors may have little scruple in
voting against their releay. from custody. A sort of
parliamentary coup d'etat would not unaptly succeed
a government one.
It appears by an article in the Berlin Deutsehe Re.
form of the 3d instant, that considerable excitement
prevails amongst the peasantry in Silesia; that they
demand the total and urconditional abolition of in
feudal dues on land, and that even communist doe.
trines have made no inconsideraVe progress amongst
them. The above journal attributes all this to the agita-
tion carried on by the democrats. The peasantry of
the Grand Duchy of Posen are also in a very unsettled
state.

Legere from Leipeic state that two-thirds of the
members of the Saxon legislature are radicals. The
chambers will be opened on the 10th ing.
PRINCIPALITIES OF TH DANUBE.—The
Wiener Zeaung says : ' The Russian army of occu-
pation has no., taken up its winter quarters. The
Turkish troops have gone into their cantonment at
the most important passage of the Danube—namely,
Galacz, Ibraila, and Giurgewo, independently of
their quartering at Bucharest : the Russian army is
lodged along the military road from Bessarabia to
Bucharest, having their main stations at Leowe,
Berlad, Fokehan, Dawn, and Bucharest, where
the Dambowitza forms the line of demarcation
between the two encampments. Besides this, Jassy
has a strong Russian garrison, and large bodies of the
Russian army divisions are lodged as far up as the
boundaries of Transylvania, in Moldavia, as well as in
Wallachia. Intelligence from Belgrade says that
Prince Can Georgowitsch and the Servian 'enate,
upon receiving the intelligence that the Emperor of
Austria has recognised the Servian waywode,
and re-established the patriarchate, resolved to
put an auxiliary of 10,000 regulars and a sub-
sidy of 20,000 ducats at the diposal of the
waywode. Authority has been given to the free
troops to erase the Danube, and to juiu the Serviette in
Hungary. The Pacha of Belgrade has sanctioned ell
these measures. A report is in circulation that the
Sultan has not only authorised the Servians to hasten
to the assistance of the Servians in Austria, but has even
invited them energetically to support their neighbour,
and brethren.

It is asserted that the Prince of Nloblavia has re-
ceivcd a command from the St. Petersburg cabinet,
in which, without previously consulting the Turkish
authorities, the mode is determined in which the loan
of 30.000 silver roubles is to be rep ad which Russia
advanced to two rrincipalities of the Danube. From
the Ist of January all the taxes are to be rained a
tenth. Oae-tenth is to be paid by the agricultural
districts and one-tenth by the landed proprieto,s. Ths
peremptory command is sufficient proof hew different
is the practice and the theory of the promises made by
Count Nesselrode in his note of the 10th of July.

FRANKFURT, Jas. 3.
You are aware that the direct and immediate object
of the Gagern programme is to unite a part of Ger-
many under the domination of Prussia, and to exclude
Austria, leaving to that power the option ot contract-
ing a kind of perpetual alliance with this curtailed
and Prussianised Germany. The partisans of Prussia
have been stirring heaven and earth during the Christ-
mas holidays; and they had already begun their
hymn of victory, when yesterday morning the Central
ministry received despatches from the Austrian minis-
try, containing an energetic protest against the terms
of the Gagern programme. I have not seen the de-
spatches, but I know from unquestionable authority
that they contain such a protest, witk the additional
declaration that the Austrian government has no in-
tention of separating from united Germany, and is
ready on all occasions to claim all its rights and dis-
charge all its obligations as a member of the Germanic
confederation. So far all is well ; but the Austrian
government, in its protest and despatches, takes up its
ground on " the confederation"—that is to say, evades
any recognition of the sovereignty of the national as-
sembly in its constituent capacity, and reserves a right
to reject or amend the constitution that may be
passed by that bcrty. It has long been known that
Austria wished to take its stand upm this principle.
Hanover has occupied the same ground ; but Prussia
is too cunning to avow this principle, although it is
silently aiming at the same ulterior object which the
others proclaim so noisily, as if to put all the world
on their guard against the danger that threatens the
National Assembly.
The Austrian protest gives the coup-de-yrare to the
Gagern programme. Nevertheless M. von Gagern is
resolute to make it a cabinet question. Ido n t be-
lieve there is the slightest chance of his getting a
iajority of the parliament to vote for his programme;
but it appears that he prefers to fall fighting than to
retreat without striking a blow. The Prussian party
are well aware that if they do not conquer the impe-
rial crown at the first assault, it is lost to them for
ever. Tnis is the reason why they are determined to
give battle at all hazards.
The partisans of Austria affirm that the young Em-
peror is ready to make great concessions if the parlia-
ment elect him Emperor of Germany. I believe they
are losing their labour, and that the two candidates
have every chance of playing the parts of the two
claimants in the fable of Justice and the Oyster.
Austria's chance of the imperial crown is slender;
the Archduke John's prospects of becoming the per-
manent head of the central government improve every
day. There is an unwillingness to accept Austria
with its emperor as the head of Germany, for that
would be to drive Prussia into the arms of Russia,
and to give Austria the power to play over again its
old game in German politics. The partisans par es-
' cellence of Austria constitute the most dangerous
party in our parliament. They are all of the Metter-
nich school, sa.d their leader, Von Schmerling, said in
his last speech at Vienna that he is an Austrian out
and out, and only in so far a German as is compatible
with that character.

This Austrian party, of which Schroerling has in-
herited the leadership from Metternich, is hostile to
the sovereignty of the German parliament. It has
abetted all the selfish dispositions of the Austrian
government. If this party were to be brought into
power by the election of its Emperor, German liberty
would be destroyed, and German unity would not be
saved out of the wreck. From all this it is obvious
that poor Germany is in a critical position, and that,
in order not to despair of it, we must have faith in the
German proverb that " A merciful Providence never
deserts an honest German."

The complicity of Austria and Prussia will bring
recruits to the independent German party.

ROME, Dec. 28.
The supreme triumvirate have brought forward
the decree for the convocation of a national constituent
assembly, based on universal suffrage, and to consist
of 200 members; but it has encountered opposition in
the present chamber on technical grounds. I have
reason to believe that the triumvirs will, before the
year 1849 be ushered in, dissolve the parliament and
refer the whole question to the country, convoking
the Assembly on its own authority. Tile oppo-itioa
members meet nightly, headed by Mayr and Folletti,
member for Comacchio, with a certain Gallo, famous
for his energy in the command of the Gregorian dra-
gonades of bye-gone days. There is no reactionary
support outside the chamber.
CoL Gallieno having resigned the command of the
civic guard, that post has been conferred on the Duke
Sforza CesarinL . . .

Brigante Bellini, member for Osimo, has resigned
on the express grounds that the clamber is not coiog
its duty in not dissolving itself, aid appealing to the
people for ratification of its acts. It has gone too far,
be Pays, to think of any half measures now.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF
AUCKLAND.

- -------- -
The funeral of the late First Lord of the Admiralty
took *se, es We already one ouriced,en Saturday forenoon.
Shortly Wore 10 o'dadi at which hour it was appointed
the funeral menden Mislead leave the Admiralty, Bear-
Admiral James Deans Dandas, the Hon. Wm. Cowper,
Capt. Milne, and the *other Lords of the Admiralty, Mr.
Ward, M.P. end Capt. Hamilton, the Secretaries to the
Admiralty, the principal clerks, and the barge master and
aseistants in their liveries, connected with that department of
the state, assembled in the inner hall and vestibule of the
First Lord's official residence, and formed in line on each
side through which the coffin and mourners passed
on the way to the Lewes and mourning coaches.
There were three mourning coaches and four; the first
containing Lord Auckland (the Bishop of Sodor and Man),
the Hon. Francis Eden, the brother and sister of the de-
ceased earl, smiths Hon.W. Osborne. The second contained
Mr. A Coloae, Captain U Eden, and Captain Charles
Eden. The third contained the chief domestics of the late
earl's household. The private carriage of the deoessad peer
brought up the rear. The funwal was as private as posable,
which arose from the d. sire of the family that not the least
display should take place on the mournful occasion. The
Queen, the Queen Dowager, and the other members of the
royal amity. the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the membersof the cabinet, made applications to be allowed to send their
respective equipages, hot the offers of reopen were respect-
fully declined, as it was believed to be in accordance with
the previously expressed wishes of the deceased.
The cortege proceeded without Interruption to Lewisham,
where the funeral procession was j -hied by the carriages of
the Countess of Buckinghamshire and Lind Bexley. On
reaching Beckenham Church, at half-pan 12 o'clock, the
body was resolved at the (harsh Will by the Bev A.
Brandnun, the rector of Beckenham, who performed the
service. The coffin having bath delimited in the family
vault, situate in the aisle of the sacred edifice, the Wend set,
vise was coecluded and the mouraen immediately after-
wards retired. •
The usual respect to the memory of He late earl was oh.

on, the workhorse surviin states that the removal of
the children to the woe hone, was in oppeeitioa te his
opinion, and was effected at the s.ggee of Mr. Grainger
and Mr. Chadwick, of the Board of Health. At the mine
time he felt that their removal from the pestilential atmo-
sphere of Tooting was aheolately nimeeseary, but that it ought
to have been to an isolated building, somewhere in the
country. On instituting further inquiries, a report was ob-
tained that s•vertl eases bad occurred amospt the children

THE PAUPER CRILDREN AT TOOTING.—Sir,—In
your vine' of Thursday last, of the outbreak of the cholera
at Drouet's pauper intent establishment at Tooting, it is
stated that the children are farmed oat there at 31. 6d, per
11,44 pct. week. I have been reque•ced to inform you that
the shame is 4s. 6d besides Mr. Dronet's having the labour
of the children. At least these are the terms on which the
Chelsea children are there, end I presume that the other
parishes are the ssm..—JoHte B. JitTDll, Chairman of the

THE "GOLDEN LECTCRESHIP."—The Times of
Thursday contradiewd the r: port that Dr. Dale intended to
resign the goldon lectureship. W- b flews the faet to be
that no resignation whatever is necessary. The office be
comes vacant at a given day every year, and is renewed only
on special application, which may be made by any number
of candidates. At the dinner of the Haberdasher.' Com
pang, the other day, Dr. Dale stated, in an after dinner
speech, that he intended, an soon as his year was out, to
om t the cu..tomary application. Some one, we were told,
staked him privately afterwards if he would accept the office
provided the company elected him without toe application—
when he was silent. We trust, howevir, that the Haber-
dashers' Company will not give so glaring a sanction to the
principle of ecclesiastical pluralism, not to ray connorancy.
To such a man as Dr. Dale such a reproach comes with
double force. Apart from this, there is but too much of
requited labour in the church to permit so excellent an oppor•
utility to past of giving it its due reward. We observe
among the list of candidates the names of persons possessed
of even higher ecclesiastical incomes than Dr. D.le. Tu
sleet such men would, indeed, be inconsistent with right,
sense, and policy.—Aneu.
Tux GOLD MANIA.—The rage for the gold mines
of California prcce. ds with gigantic paces. Beside. uvula
foe that quarter of the globe previously advertised, one was
announced for this mecum Dared, only or Friday, and in
the course of the day the advertiaar had no lewer than 24
applications for passages.
A HINT FOR PUBLIC DINNER COMMITTEES.—The
dinner ticket of the Newcastle Farmers' Club, whose annual
festival to k place on Saturday, affords a hint which ether
parties may adopt with advantage. On one side of the cird

numbered Every ticket has also its number; so that the
holder knows at ones where he will sit at dinner, and all
contusion is obviated.

places having petitioned the General Beard of Health to

quiry, with the view to the application of the Public Health
Act, the board has been under the necessity of app intimg
two additional inept eters for the service tram among the

qualified to set u magistrates; among them the lion. end

THE WEATHER AND PARKS.—Lsrge numbers of
skaters visited the parks yesterday. In St. James's-park the
tee was very dingerous and notwithstanding the cautions
issued numbers crowded on ; the consequence was that the
ice gave way, and 16 persons were immersed. They were.
however, rescued and restored by means of the Society's men
and the remedies at hand fa their tent. On the Serpentine
also the ice was v.ry dang rims, the only practicable part
being neat the brides ; five is men were on duty, and res-
cued several persons. In Kenaington.gardens on the Rntnd
l'ond end Long Water the ice was tolerably firm, and there
was a large assemblage et skaters, including the member, of
the Skating Club, who Ind their tent erected on the north
bank. Her, no casualty occurred. In the Regent's-perk,
where also large numbers sasembled, between 16 and 28
persons were in the water at one time.
FIRES IN BETUNAL.ORZEN.—Oa Saturday two
fires broke nut in the parish of Bethnal green, both attended
with a cor.sidtrable destitution of property. The first oc-
curred upon the prensime of Mr. Long, cabinet maker,
Cburch•street Ihe flames origiaated in the workshops at
the rear of the dwellmg-house, and on the arrival of the en•
sines, not only the entire range of workshops and al they
esatslaed were found in flames, but the fire had penetrated
W be& windows of Mr. Long's private house, and the
twaseer past of the furniture was in a blase. B. fore the fire
was eztinguisked Mr. Long's workshops were totally de-
Mroyso, the back window-sashes of the dwelling burned out,
sad the furniture much damaged.—The second fire broke
out atneon in a large store, about 60 feet long, belonging
to Mr. Phillips, a corn chandler, in Ann•street, Pollard's-
row. The building was filled with hay, and very speedily
the place wagon fire from end to end. The flames were,
however, confined to that pertin of the property in which
they originated, and which was entirely burned down.
Mr. Phillips was not insured, and will be a serious loser.
INQUEST, SATURDAY.—ACCIDENT ON THE BLACK-
WALL RAILWAY.—Before Mr. W. Baker, coroner, at the
King and Queen, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, as to the
death of G. Penults, aged 28, a Greek sailor, who was
killed or. Thuralay last, by falling from a carriage on the
Blackwell Railway, owing (it was alleged) to the carriage
door not b• ing properly fastened. From the evidence of
Juan De Kaltizani and others, countrymen of the deceased,
it appeared that on the arrival of the quarter put dimes
o'clock down train at the Minorite Station of the Blsekwall
Railway the deceased and several others got into a nevi.
claw compartment of the Poplar carriage. The due woe
closed after them, and the guard stated most positively the
he properly fastened it ; en the other hand, the deceased's
countrymen who were in the carriage allege otherwise, for
on the train passing the ()malefic b• idge, between the
Limekiln. and West India•dock Stations, the deceased
placed his right elbow on the top of the carriage door.
He had no sooner done so than the door flew open, and the
deceased fell out of the carriage h. adforemoet, on to some
iron railway plates, which were lying on the side of the line,
with such violence as to shatter his scull to atoms, and the
wheels of a carriage passed over his legs, mutilating them in
a shocking manner.—Mr. Wightmen, on behalf of the com-
pany, proauced on. fertile carnage door haLdles, which shuts
with a strong spring, and said that if the 'Gard had properly
turned the handle it was impossible for the door to have
wined itself, and it was the wish of the company that a most
searching inve-tioation should be made to ascertain if the
guard was blameable in the matter. He had been given to
understand that a person who was a passenger in the same
esireage could give some very important evidence : be was
sat present, and he would suggest an adjournment.—The
esroner said that it was very important for all parties that
they should have that pence's testimony, and the inquiry
was adjourned till Wednesday next.

THE MAIL ROBBERY ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.

EXETER, BATURDAT.—The prisoners charged with
having, an new par's night, broken into the pest-oftice
tender, while the train wee in motion, between Bristol and
Bridgewater, were brought up this morning fur re-exantiu-
tion before the magistrates. The spacious Guildhall was
densely crowded. The chairmen and secretaries of the
Great Western, South Dena, Bristol and Exeter Railways
were among those present—Christopher Arden, Esq., the
mayor, presided, and on the bench were Dr. Miller, Mr.
Barham, Mr. H. Hooper, Mr. Kenasway. Mr. Carew, Mr.
Harris, Mr. D. B. Davy, Shatter, and other magistrates.
—The prisoners on being placed et the bar, looked anxiously
round, but betrayed us further signs of emotion.
Before the regular business commenced, the bench and
other parties interested in the cue were engaged in a long
conversation with the officers of police, who have been en-
gaged in inveshgring circus:tutees tending to elucidate the
affair. The substance of this conversation may be thus
stated : It appears that Poole, one of the prisonen in nu-
tody, and who was for some time in the service of the Great
Western Company, had a year or two since become suddenly
punned of considerable property, and had rat up an ele-
gant ettablishasest in Exeter, which he maintained in ao
mean splendour. By what means he became poured of
the property, and what were his avocations, were subjects
which at ant naturally excited much gossip, but all interest
in the matter eventually subsided. Since kis retirement
Iran the Great Western Compuy, Poole has frequently ap-
peared in the streets of Exeter in singular eastame, in malty
oases most grotesquely attired ; and It has been on many oc-
casions observed that he has travelled up the Has dressed in
this style, at other times attired as a private gentleman, and
sometimes in the garb of a meoheal . Three or four months
lime, when dressed as a labouring man, he was found in
what is technically called the locker" of a railway
carriage (the place in which the parcels are deposited), but
little or no suspicion wee excited, on account of the
plausible excuse which the man offered for his conduct.
This system of disguises he appear to have wavered in
until his resent capture, in when he took the tickets for
