dered reassuring for the priests, who already look forward
to the volcanic year 1852 with sufficient apprehension and
anxiety ; and it Is asserted by some that the great religions
ceremonies to ►e performed in the Colosseum are ordered
in the hope of averting the catastrophes so positively pre-
dicted by the prophetess.
The Bolognese paper, Vero Ansico, which is thoroughly
devoted to the ecclesiastical rause, occasionally devotes
loess of its columns to waging war in favour of miracles,
ingenially as wrought by images. The following is an
anneunt which it contains of a recent miraculous change of
the weather at the intercession of the Virgin Mary
"The inhabitants of Tosaignano not long ago obtained a
new demonstration of love and favour from the prodigious
image of the most Holy Mary, from that extremely ancient
image which, saved from iconoclastic fury, always engaged
the devout worship of their ancestors; and which their not
degenerate descendants keep as a noble and precious heirloom
of their hereditary religion, finding in it all comfort and
support against public and private calamities. The late
incessant and unseasonable rains having hindered the
gathering in of autumn fruits, and impeded cultivation for
the coming year, the active pastor, the very revered arch-
priest Agnoli, in order to avert so heavy a calamity, called
the inhabitants of Tossignano together, and with eloquent
and touching words brought them before the most prodi-
gious image, so that, by the intercession of the Virgin, God
might restore serene weather. For this purpose, on the
7th of October, the flock and their beloved pastor met to
depose their humble supplications at the foot of the altar,
sacred to their distinguished benefactress; at the Int
prayer, whilst the pastor was offering the propitiatory wafer,
a ray of sun gladdened the sacred temple, like a rainbow of
peace smiling on the assembled faithful, and in a few hours
all appearance of clouds vanished from the sky ! The Tos-
signaziesi rightly attributing this to the peculiar favour of
their protectress, and full of gratitude to her, resolved to
sanctify the 12th inst. by solemn acts of thanksgiving....
Ah, Tossignanesi, let this prodigy also be inscribed in the
religious annals of your country !"
Ihe United States of America are about to be placed
upon an equal ecclesiastical footing with Great Britain, by
having a cardinal resident at New York. Archbishop
Hughes was created a member of the sacred college about
the end of last month, and ere you receive this letter he will
probably have got intelligence of the dignity which Pio
Nono has conferred upon him. I understand that this step
will be a matter of perfect indifference to the Amerizan
government.
M. Panini is still in Rome, and affords perpetual matter
for speculation and occupation to the abirri, who wait on
the Piazza before his hotel in the morning until he makes
his appearance, and then follow hi:n about wherever he
goes. Mr. Baring, who has recently arrived at Serny's
hotel, is dogged in the same manner—an evident proof
how very jealous and su.spicious the papal authorities are
of the presence of any influential persons connected with
the British government. Whilst subjected to these indig-
nities on the part of the Minister of Police, M. Panisxi has
been most courteously received by the Popo and by
Cardinal Antonelli, by the latter of whom he Was especially
requested to repeat Ins visit. M. Panizei leaves Route for
Naples on Thursday next.
A discovery of a very interesting nature has just taken
place in one of the cells of the Castle of St. Angelo, on the
wall of which, toward the corner, a rough and nearly ef-
faced indication of Christ on the Cross was brought to light
a few days ago. This drawing or painting is thought to be
that which Benvenuto Cellini, in his admirable autobio-
graphy, mentions having executed with charcoal and brick-
, dust on the wall of his prison, when confined by order of
Popo Paul 111. in the Castle of St. Angelo iu the year
1539.
The Tiber is bringing down many proofs of the destruc-
tive nature of its present course—trees, portions of bridges,
and carcases of cattle. it is rumoured that an accident of
a very serious nature has taken place on the Florence road,
a carriage full of travellers having been swept away by a
torrent over which they were attempting to pass by the
bridge, which gave way under the weight of the coach and
the impetus of the water. The weather was so unfavour-
able yesterday that the great procession from the church of
the Holy Apostles to the Colosseum could not take place.
It is reported that the Pope himself intends to preach in the

THE LATE LORD MAYOR had a vote of thanks
given him yesterday by the Court of Alderman; much dis-
cussion having first taken place upon a portion of the origi-
nal motion, referring to the Queen's visit (all reference to
which was ultimately struck out), and on the subject of
the Lard Mayor's visit to Paris.
THE LATE MURDER AND SUICIDE.--CORONER'S
Nut:nat.—Yesterday evening Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an
inquest at the White Hart Tavern, Windmill•street, Tot-
tenham-court rued, on the body of slary Turpin, aged two
months, the nakrtunate child who was murdered by its'
mother on Saturday night in White Hart-court, Totten-
ham-court-reed.—Ann bi`Carthy, of No. 5, White Hart-
court, said that she knew the deceased child, who was the
daughter of Sarah Turpin' a young yeoman who lodged in
her house. The mother had told her a fortnight since,
when she first came to lodge with her, that she was not a
Married woman. On Saturday morning last she left home
at eight o'clock, leaving the mother and child in the room.
She returned between live and six o'clock, and on re-en-
mitering the room she found the child lying on the floor
before the fire. She called to the mother three times,
and muttered to herself that it was a strange place
to leave the child, but on going to look at
the infant she found blood on its throat. She
then called a lodger down stairs and sent him for a police-
man and a surgeon.—The Coroner: How was it that she
first came to lodge with you ?—Witnese : She went to a
person whom I knew, and who sold fruit in the street, and
asked her if she could tell her where she could obtain a
lodging, end she recommended her to apply to me.—The
Coroner Did you find any cutting instrument iu the room ?
—Witness said that she round one of her husband's razors
in the place covered with blood, which had been taken from
a box 111 the room—The Coroner: Did the mother sleep in
the same roses with you ?—Wituess : Yes; for she intended
only to remain a few days until she obtained a situation.—
The Coroner : Did you ever see anything strange in her
conduct ?—Witness : No; a day or two since she observed
that after going out and on her return home she found that
she had taken off a gold ring she had been in the habit o
wearing, and on her asking her the reason, she replied that
she was not a married woman, and therefore could not go
after a situation with the ring on the finger. Mr. D. H.
Wildbore, surgeon, of No. 2, Charlotte street, Fitzroy-
square, said that he was called to attend the child on Satur-
day evening, and found the strings of the neck cut. From
the nature of the cut, he had no hesitation in saying it had
been wilfully inflicted. The body was not quite cold, as it
wee lying before the fire, but lite was extinct. William
Il`Carthy, son of the first witness, said that he saw the
mother of the deceased at half-past one o'clock on Saturday
afternoon last, at 5, White Hart-court, when she spoke to
him in a very familiar manner, more so than usual, as she
was generally exceedingly reserved. She then spoke to the
child, and said "it is a cross patch, and l wish it was in
heaven." She had before been most affectionate
to the child. He (witness) was about to clear
away the dinner things, but the mother of de-
emed told him not to trouble himself, as she
would do it herself. Police-constable 167 of the C division
said that he had understood that the mother of the child
had lived at ea WI at Blackheath, and was discharged on
emeetat et b=iveguirt. She then went to live in
t, Oxford-street, where she was
