ROMAN STATES.—Ugo Baes;, one of the officers
in Garibaldi's furcc, which was dispersed at San Ma-
rino, and another men, alto of the same force, were
shot at Bologna on the Bth inst. Ugo Bassi is said to
have been with Garibaldi when he landed at Magma
Vetoes- It s-ems, from a letter from Commachio, the
4th inst., that when the 16 boats containing Gari-
baldi and his people were punned to land by the
Austrian vesols the cannon of the fort of Magna
Voices thundered away against them at the same
time. It wee with the greatest difficulty that Gari-
baldi escaped with his wife through the woods. A
letter from Mantua states that Garibaldi was still
concealed on the sth at Rolano. It will be seen that
he has escaped from the Austrians.
Letters from Itome of the 7th inst., state that the
pontifical triumvirate have kindly decided that the
nominal value of the old paper money is maintained
for thirty dal a longer from the date of the 'Zell, and

taxes and other impositions by the public treasury.
General Oudinot returned on the 6th from Gaeta.

Letters from Bologna of the 8:h inst., state that the
depreciation of the Bens de la Republique had
created the worst effects there. A deputation had
left that city fo^ Rome, to protest against the ponti-
fical measure. Claim Vecchia will suffer most from
the depreciation.
VENlCE.—Letters from Milan of the 10th state
that Garibaldi had succeeded in reaching Venice
almost alone, and closely followed by his pursuers.
lie came by Chioggia.
The !Genet- Zeitnny has published the following in
a second supplement :
" Official reports of the Bth from Trieste announce
that the Venetian squadron, on the 7th, Bellied out
and attacked General (or, as we should say, Admiral)
Dahloup ; who, having come as near as the enemy's
shot would let him, retired."

THE STRIKE IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—BIR-
HINGHAM, Auo. 16.—The turn-out of colliers in South
Staffordshire extends, and promises to be all but universal.
About 600 of the thick coal men in the neighbourhood of
Netherton and Brierley-hill ceased work to-day. Instead
of quietly submitting to a reduction of 64. per day, as pro-
posed by the masters, the men now require an advance of
6d. on ther previous wages. Although some thousands
are out upon the strike at present, everything is quiet and
peaceable.
INHUMAN CONDUCT OF SAILORS.—On Tuesday
last a man named Bryan Brady was found stowed away on
board the ship Garrick, outward b3uud for America.
He was taken from his hiding-place by the boatswain, who
demanded his money. He had not sufficient to pay his
passage, upon which the boatswain commenced besting him,
and, with the assistance of the second mate, administered
the rope's end to his back in et cruel a manner, that he was
obliged to be conveyed to the Northern Hospital. On ex-
amining his wound', it was discovered that he had sustained
a compound fracture of the nose, and that his back was
covered with black and discoloured contusions. Search was
made for the boatswain by the police, and he was found
bidden in the cook's galley. On Wednesday he was brought
before the magistrate in company with the second mate, and
they were both committed for trial at the assises.—Liverpool
Times.

From Gibraltar wo learn that the Board of Health
have decided, that in con►equence of the spread of
cholera in England, vessels arriving there " with
health on board," and haring been fourteen days at
sea, are to perform a quarantine of observation of five
days; but should the voyage be wrier 14 dal a, then to
complete that period with the addition of the ii days
quara^tine of observation referred to above. We alluded
some time ego to a similar regulation at Gibraltar,
tendered necessary in order to insure vessels from
that port entering any of the ports of Spain free
pratique; but it does not yet appear oertain whether
this new order causing additional inconvenience and
expense to shipping will, under present circumstances,
be regarded by the Spanish authorities as a sufficient
precaution, and insure to vessels fr. m Gibraltar free
pratique on entering a Spanish port—if not, it is to
be hoped this new restriction will be withdrawn. It
has been officially announced that vessels arriving in
Spain from any foreign port declared by the Spanish
consul as infected by cholera, must proceed to the
quarantine stations of Vigo, or of P ort Mahon, to
perform the necessary quarantine before they can
obtain free pratique.
