Weeday, General Sir Richard Airey, accompanied by Dr.
Cooper, of Marieeetoa. and Colonel Chater, of the Royal
Engineers, stationed at Birmingham, arrived in Nottingham,
and inspected the ground set apart by the Corporation. Alter
doe examination, we understand that the General expressed
an opinion that the site was too small to meet the views of
the government, who proposed to erect barracks sufficiently
large to socommodate an infantry foroe of 1,000 men, and a
squadron of cavalry or a corps of artillery. The gallant
General and his party, who were attended during his inspece
thre by the Mayor, the Town Clerk, and the officers of the
Royal Artillery corps now In Nottingham, left the tame
evening per train for London.—Miswahmtce Guardian.

The Upper Chamber in the Prussian Legislature
is occupied with the following motion presented by Count
Ilamplite, end ILK. von Plcetz, von Below, and Baron
Gaffion, supported by thirty-seven other members, which
will be received with Omura by all the world :—" May it
please the Chamber of Seigneurs to request the goverment
to take steps for the cessation of the official protection which
unhappily is still enjoyed in some states of the Germania
Confederation by the authorised gaming-houses ; so that new
authorisations may not be granted, end existing establish-
ments be dosed aa soon aa poodble." _ _

We read in the Paris correspondence of the
Indepasdinos Belo :—" M. C—, who took part in the
Roma rovolution, and who im now an employ[ of the Credit
Magner• was sanunroned the other day to the ollice of the

Proeureir-Osneral, and asked if he hid known Orsini. ' I
knew him very well by reputation,' replied H. C —, ' but
I have never to my knowledge men him, though we may
have met in the Roman Constituent Ariembly." Thies
what Orsini mid,' replied the Procureur-General ;. but he

has nevertheless appointed you him executor.' Y. C
mita that ha was ready to accept the mission if they would
show him the will. The will we cannot give you,' said the

Prooureur-Clessral, the law not admitting those who are
condemned to death to make a will ; but I undertake to
acquaint you with his last wishes.' M. C— went at once
to Madams Orsini, who is at Paris with her two young
children, and offered his services to that lady. Madame
Orsini, who bas been living in Italy, had not seen her
husband for three years."

A letter from Milan, of the 16th, says :—" The
mention of Orsini has produced a slight agitation hem
Many people rornived black crape bands enclosed in anony-
mous letters, recommending them to wear the bands round
their arms on the day of the mention. Some threw these
letters with their oontents into the tbs. Others, remember-
ing the tricks of the police in old than, suspected a trap,
and, by way of precaution, sent the knees to the police-
office. Three men have been arrested on suspicion, one of
whom was a fellow-prisoner with Orsini at Mantua. lie
had been sentenced to the galleys for seventeen years, and
was pardoned by the Emperor on the occasion of his Lit
visit to Milan.••

A letter from Montoro, in the Memorial Bordelsis,
trays :—" Biz men in masks lately entered the chateau of the
Count de Robledo, and alter having cruelly Rimed him,
made off with' sum of 6,o4oounces of gold (about 20,0001)."
The Bdtis of Andalusia announces that the count died of his
wounds of Feb. 23. One would scarcely hare supposed that
Spanish nobles kept so much gold in a Chateau d'Repagns.

At the Consi;tory, held at Rome on the 18th, the
following promotions to the dignity of cardinal were made :
the Archbishops of Toledo and Seville; Mgr. Antonini.
Bishop of Anemia; Mgr. Orfai, Bishop of Comma ; Mgr.
Mild, Xhilater of Commerce and Public Works; Mgr.
Martel, Minister of Justice ; and Mgr. Silvestri, senior mot-
her of the Rots.
