The Piedstiontese Gazette of the 10th publishes
the law on the inviolability of judges. By this law,
no person holding a judicial office can be removed or
dismissed by the government, except in certain spe-
cified cases, relating to neglect of duty, or perpetra-
tion of crimes or misdemeanours, to be judged by the
ordinary tribunals.
Letters from Florence and Lucca, in the Rigor-
gitnento of Turin of the 11th, state that at the time
the Tuscan ministers published the concordat with
the holy see, they sent a circular to the bishops, an-
nouncing to them that they must act in concert with
the government in so fur as regards the choice of
preachers and the episcopal notifications to be posted
up in the streets. This circular, the correspondents
observes, infringes Art. 2 of the new concordat.
The Osserridure Romano publishes the following
notification :

All persona are hereby cautioned not to wear hats or bon-
nets with blue or sky-blue ribbons, which are tokens of that
band which in the days of the most deplorable anarchy de-
solated this respectable city with blood and violence. Who-
ever shall dare, two days after this notice, to wear, not-
withstanding this prohibition, hats or bonnets or any other
token ; and whoever shall be found in a suspicious meeting
or conventicle, shall he immediately arrested, and punished
with fifty strokes of a cudgel ; for it is time now that every
one should submit to reason and be convinced that the plots
of the wicked do not escape the eye of the government,
which will act against them with determination,
firmness, and severity. Imola, from the Imp. and Royal
Command of the station, Jane 25, 1851. The Captain in
