ITALY AND lINGLAND.—The following is an ex-
tract from a private letter, written on the 18th inst.
by an Italian statesman, who holds a high rank in
the Councils of Piedmont:—"l humbly thank heaven
that an era of justice between nations is beginning.
Italy will always bless England, which through the
organ of her press has made her voice heard in con-
sistent defence of the rights of this country, and has
fixed an indelible brand on her violators and oppres-
sors. Having escaped the hands of Austria, Italy must
now belong wholly to herself, and this result can be
sewed only by the annexation of Central Italy to
Sardinia."

Tea Pop! AND THE IRISH BIBHOPS.—The
Bemis News publishes the reply of the Pops to an 'dims
from the Archdiocese of Cashel and Holly, adopted at •
meeting held in the month of Deeember last. The following
is • wage : —tt We have received with the greatest plea-
sure yours of the 6th of the ides of last December, in which
we find • most ample proof of your faith, religion, piety, end
obedience. Most grateful to tut alto is the proof we have
found is this your letter of the same most religious disposi-
tion to no end to this Holy Bea, which is deeply seated is
the minds of the clergy sad the people of your diocese.
It was impossible but that the serious tumults prevailing
is Italy, the collision into which things were thrown,
and the rebellion of some provinces of our temporal
state, should have caused you intense sorrow. All, in
truth, went on and were perpetrated under the insti-
gaffes sad encouragement of those whom it ought to have
most concerned to respect the law of nations, and to pes-
sary* untouched the patrimony of the Roman church. From
day to day it becomes more manifest what wicked schemes
these men are devising sg•inat us and the civil power of
the apoetoHo ere, end very lately, in a lucubration fall of
hypocrisy, they have lent all their efforts to deceive the
simple, to diminish and weaken the common content of men
in recognising the civil power of the apostolic see. Can-
, tinne the•, venerable brothers, with the flock committed
to your pastoral solicitude, with one accord to beseech the
Almighty Lord that .He may look with a propitious eye
upon you and your common affliction, and that he may
I give to your weakness strength from above, whereby we
may be enabled with a greet and high mind to make head
against raging storms, to maintain the liberty of the
church, and strenuously to defied the civil power of the
holy see."

DEATH OP SIR W. C. Ron, R.A.—We regret
to =noting the death of Sir William Charles Ross, R.A.,
at his residence, 38, Fitzroy-square. on Friday last. The
deceased artist wsa:in his 66th year. He was the, son of a minia-
ture painter of repute, and distinguished himself at the ago of
fourteen by gaining medals of the Slciety of Arts for original
drawings and miniatures. He at first dedicated himself to
historical paintings, bat after a while relinquished this walk
of art for portrait-miniatures. His list of portrait-

skiers goring the last 30 years would be simply •
reprint of the 'gird Book." Of the Queen, Prince
Consort, the royal children, and various members of
the Cobourg end Orleans families, be has executed
admirable portraits. The sum total of his works exceeds, it
is said, 2,000. In 1837 he was appointed miniature painter
to tits Queen; in 1838 he was elected en associate of the
Academy ; in 1842, an seademialan and in the same year
he was knighted.
