INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four (o'Clxk.
By telegraph from Southampton, we are informed
of the arnval, this day, of her Majesty's steamer
Cyclops, from Lisbon, with important dispatches
for government. She has also brought home Lord
Howard de Walden.

A rumour has been for some days afloat assigning
the government of Bombay to the Hon. Charles Vil-
liers, the member for Wolverhampton. We regret to
find that it has not been confirmed, and that in all
probability no such appointment will take place,
though it is perhaps scarcely possible a better selec-
tion could be made. Mr. Villiers is well known for
his persevering opposition to the corn-laws, and his
unceasing advocacy of free-trade measures. A
tried reformer and consistent politician should
have paramount claims upon the present administra-
tion, and such claims as should not be postponed
to any considerations of mere expedience. Mr. Vil-
liers is the man just fitted for the administration of
an Indian government. Poasessing com prehensive views
he would apprehend at once the nature and extent of
our complex Indian policy, and the intricate rela-
tions which at present subsist between us and many of
the native states and governments; and following the
dictatesof his own good sense,he would act, when neces-
sary, up to the occaaion,neitber adopting implicitly the
advice of others, nor yet rejecting entirely, as Gover-
nor-Generals have done, the counsel of °those whale
experience should give to their opinion the sanction of
authority. But Mr. Villiers is not a mere politician.
He is a philanthropist and a man of business ; and,
therefore, well suited for a government in India,
where the condition of our native subjects demands
amelioration, and some commercial regulations very ex-
tensive reforms. Mr. Villiers' appointment would be
acceptable in Bombay, but there seems no present
ththat he will be selected for the trust, judging
e following letter addressed to a cotemporary :
"Mr. Villiers presents his compliments to the editor of
ON Morning Herald, and begs to inform him that he lias
sot been appointed Governor of Bombay, and that he has
no reason for believing that such an appointment is in-
tended."

Sheffield has come forward to advance the move-
meet
which has been commenced, with the view of
obtaining the immediate sanction of government to
the free admission of food. At a meeting of the
Town Council, held on Thursday, it was proposed and
carried by a unanimous vote, that, sympathising most
deeply w►th the inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland
in their present destitute condition, owing to the loss
of the potato crop, and with a view of mitigating as
far as possible that great calamity, a memorial be
presented to her Majesty in Council, praying that an
order may be passed for opening the ports, and for
the immediate admission of foreign corn into this
country duty free.

There are letters from Rio Janeiro to the 23rd
August. The political news is unimportant.
The exchange, custom-house receipts, and export
of coffee continue to improve, whilst that of sugar
had greatly fallen off.

A letter from Rome, which appears in the Unirers,
gives particulars of a visit paid by the Pope
to Albano and to Castelgandolfo, his country
Beat near that town. His journey from and his
return to the Holy City was a complete triumph.
The roads were crowded with multitudes of pagans
who hailed his presence with demonstrations of joy.
There are farther accounts from Rome in the Sema-
phore de Marseilles, from which we learn that the
congregation of Cardinals having shown a systematic
opposition to the reforms proposed by Cardinal Gizzi,
his Holiness had replaced that body by a Consult°
di Stat,), composed of the Under-Secretaries of State,
Prelates of Rome occupying the highest administra-
tive function, and some distinguished lay members.
