CENTRAL ITALY.

The Prase says Prince Eugene de Savoie
Carignan, born in 1816, admiral, and general in
chief of the national guard of Sardinia, is the cousin
of the King. If he accepts the office which hes been
conferred on him, it will be difficult not to consider
that fact as a new pledge given by King Victor
Emmanuel to the cause of annexation and union. It
may be observed also that this choice will give to
Piedmont a greater share of responsibility in the
result of the Italian complications."

EXTRAORDINARY MAL.

The Tours journale state that a trial which is to
tilts place before the Court of Anises of that city la Deems-
bee, is exciting extraordinary interest in all the departmest
of the Indre-es•Lons. A lady, who is poisoned of • fortune
of 00,000 fr. or 600,1/1114., being eiparaad from her husband,
has, mass 1861, liv.d at Chino°, with her daughter, who to
now shout situ is years of ago. She visited in the beet
society of the town and mighbourbood, and towards the end
of Lit year brought out her daughter, who ie very pretty.
The girl was thought rather forward in her manners • bat
that demeanour was attributedto the inconeideratinise

of youth. Before lung, however, It Imams rammed
that she cut very ;:se with the coartmeen, end it wee Meted
that the man himself had boasted that be wee the lover of
Ms sous( misuse and that she we about to become a
nether. In January last he disappeared, and Mdme. L—
asted that she led been obliged to discharge him because he
WI had the impudence to a.k her daughter's hand in mar-
tion. The mother and daughter afterwards went into so-
Ginty ea r -sal, but they were the subjects of much malevo-
lent remark. Things continued in that state until August
het, when the commissary of polies of the district received
several anonymous lettere stating that in the night of the
29th Jo'y the young lady had been delivered of a child alive,
and that the little creators had been killed by the young lady's
mother. As ea July 31 the mother and daughter had been
seen going about their house end grounds ea rash
the commie/guy attached little importance to the letters- but
he cionstuunicated them to the public prosecutor, and the
latter deemed it eight to question the lady. She indignaatly
declared the statement unfounded, end, after some babe,
tics, laid a complaint of calumnious denunciatioa against
the supposed author of the letters and against her ex-
mooltrasn. But she was told that in order to support
the complaint it was necessary that her daughter should
hi examine' by a medical man. She coneected, though
with mealiest repugnance, but when a physician a few
hour. after presested himself at her house she said
that the examination wee miner:wary, ae she was ready
to admit that her daughter had been delivered of a child,
bat that it was born dead, and thet she had burned
the body—and she declared that her daughter had become
asoriete in consequent i of violence committed on her by the
coachmaa ; she also said that she had been silent on the
subject of this violence, end had burned the body of the
child from a fear of scandal. Oa that both mother sad
daughter were arrested. Ihe young lady at first told the
some tale as the mother, but being premed with questions
she declared that no violence had been used by the coach-
man, end that the child was not born dead, bat had been
killed by her mother before being burned. Since than,
Muse. L— has persisted in her original story, and says
that is contradicting it her daughter must be labouring
wafers hallucination. Both mother and daughter are to be

tried for 4ofdituide.

CLARY, APPELLANT, O. RAWL E, RESPONDENT.

This was an appeal from the decision of two magistrates at
Loughborough.
The appellant had been convicted of cockfighting, the in-
formatioo being that on the 2nd of November the appellant
did encourage and moist at the fighting of two cocks, in a
place kept foe the fighting of cocks, contrary to the provisions
al a statute for the prevention of cruelty to animals. It ap•
pears the place where the fighting took place wee a bowling
green, and that a cockfight bad never before come off there.
Serjeent Hayes argued that the conviction could not be up-
held, as the spot when the fighting took place must be kept
for the fighting of woks. It was allowed this bowling green
was not to kept.
The Court would take time to consider its decision.

he should move, Ist, that her Majesty having, upon taking
upon herself the government of India, proclaimed her belief
in the truths of the Christian religion, while she disclaimed
the right of imposing her convictions upon any of
her subjects, it wee the opinion of the house that
the government schools of native education should
include in their courses instruction in the Bible, while it
should not be compulsory upon any native to receive religious
instruction. 2ndly. That as regards the native religion, the
government should leave the entire administration of ecclesi-
astical property in the hands of the natives; that no salutes
should be allowed in the case of native religions observances,
and that no processions endangering public pewee should be
permitted. Wily. That regarding a►te as a distinction
inimical to social progress, the house was of opinion that
mate should not be countenanced in the public schools
or
service. And lastly, that it was the duty of the Indian go-
vernment to continuo their exertions for improving the
culture of the natives, and to afford their support to voluntary
efforts to sonvert the natives. (A burgh.)

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OVIII OWN auaaporparr.)
PARIS, WRDNIIIIDAY Evaarnto.

No itinerary of the public entry of the Prince
and Princess Napoleon into Paris has yet been
published, and people who, for more reasons than
one are curious to see the very juvenile bride, feel
painful doubts as to the value of their windows.
I believe, however, that the cortige will proceed from
the Lyons railway along what are ordinarily called
the Boulevards (eines the creation of the Boulevard
de Sebastopol, the term has become ambiguous)—
at least as far as the Rue de la Pair, and probably
to the extreme length of the Madeleine. The
august pair will not go in the first instance
to their conjugal home in the Pails Royal,
but to the Tuileries, where they will be received
in state by the Emperor and Empress. On the
same evening, after a short delay, just long enough
to give the princess time to change her dress and
look round her new dwelling, the Emperor and
Empress will pay her a visit of ceremony at the
Palm's Royal. On Friday there will be a grand
dinner of 150 covers at the Tuileries. I have not
heard what the arrangements are for Saturday and
Sunday. A little repose must be by that time
highly desirable for the fair princess, but I do not
know whether that is in the programme. It is not
unlikely that on Sunday she may attend tam some-
where or other in state. On Monday, however, I learn
that she will go to the opera, and on Tuesday she
will appear at a grand ball at the Tuileries. In the
course of next week the prince and princess will
leave Paris, to pass a quiet fortnight at the Chateau
de Meudon.

A rumour is current that the King of Sardinia
is about to marry a Russian princess.
A Council of Ministers, presided by the Emperors
was held at the Tulleries to-day, and remained sitting
till the unusually late hour of half-past 2. Prince
Jerome was present at this council, and in excellent
health.

The Emperor yesterday transacted business in his
study with the director-in-chief of the bureau of
cavalry and " remounts."
I have good reason to think that the Doke de
Montebello, and not the Count do Persigny, will
replace the Duke of Malakoff at the Court of St.
James's. It seems to be certain that the duke is
about to assume the command of the army of Paris,
and that Marshal Msgnan will go to the Chancery
of the Legion of Honour.
The Bourse has been dull, without any remark-
able feature. The Rents rose Sc. for cash, and fell
be. for account, closing at 68fr. 20c. in each case.
Mobilier was only a franc or two lower. The rail-
ways fell from 2fr. 60c. to Ifr.

The Montreal Ocean ii[ilt3teitin7ship Company's

which left Quebec on the sth instant, arrived here at
en early hour this morning, bringing the Canadian
mail and 107 passengers, and telegraphic advice' vie.
Father Point to the evening. of the same day.
The news by this arrival is of very slight interest.
A Washington telegram says :—" The Postmaster-
General has concluded an arrangement with the
Canadian Post-office Department by which the mails
are to be transported for the era postage weekly
between Detroit and Liverpool, vtli Portland in
winter, and the River St. Lawrence in summer.
The service is to commence by the trip of the first
steamer outward front Portland, on the 28th inst.
It is intended to have the mils, or such as may be
thereby expected for and from the western, north-
western, and probably some of the south-western
states, sent in closed bags between Chicago and
Detroit on the one side, and Liverpool and London
on the other; and for this purpose the British Post-
office Department has been requested to constitute
Chicago and Detroit exchange offices for the
United States and British mails."

The New York Herald of the 4th inst. says :
" There is nothing specially important respecting the
Harper's Ferry affair this morning. The trials of
the prisoners Sr. still progressing at Charlestown.
Coppie, already convicted, has not yet received
sentence. Shields Green, one of the negro prisoners,
was on trial yesterday, and his case will be sub-
mitted to the jury today. Copland will be next
placed on trial. Stephens, though still suffering
from his wounds, will probably be examined before
the Magistrates' Courts on Monday next. It is ex-
pected that Cook will submit a full confession to the
court, and plead guilty."

LICZNSBD VICIUALLEBS' BALL.

The annual decorations of the Guildhall were seen
to much advantage yesterday evening, when giving
edditi attraction to the Licensed Victuallers' ball, than
when on the previous Wednesday they made their first ap-
pearances, the Lord Mayor's dinner. On the filet occasion
the more substantial ornaments of the table absorbed the
general attention, and Staples rather than Bunning wee the
presiding deity of the, place. Later in the evening the
speeches of the ministers, to which every one listened
eagerly but which hardly anybody heard, diverted attention
from the triumphant effLgts of decorative art; but last
night the banners and the ancient armour, and the
Prince of Wales's plume, and the fine statuary, had fair
play, end every one found time to admire them in
the intervals of the dance, or during the earlier
part of the evening before Terpsichore had fully estaldiehed
her dominion. The fine old hall was densely oroerded a little
beton midnight, sad it was with great difficulty that even
the Bight Has, the Lord Mayor could make his way to the
dal, there to receive the felicitations of his friends and fel-
low-citizens. Crinoline struggled bravely with the situation
in the waltz and Mazurka, and folly established its majesty
of
appsaraua In the better regulated quadrille, The zeal of
the alsost Innumerable dancers was unquestionable, and the
skill and vete of the fairer portion of mats far above the
average The licensed victuallers were most fully represented
not Daly by heads of houses, but by whole families, and the
etymologist would form the moat favourable coacinsions as
to the dens of oallin_g upon ram from the op of the
younger brandies. Mr. Prampptcoon, as usual, made a most
efficient master of the eeremaaies, and Mr. Adams's bend
discoursed mask at tem eloquent and vigorous throughout
the evening. The este of Mr. Donald had provided a most
abundant buffet, and the managers of the ball had weasel
everything with the utmost regularity. No doubt the venom
charities of the body *ill be much benefited by the !Mimi.

THE ITALIAN REGENCY DISPUTED BY

FRANCE.

of to-day, in an article,
. .

signed by its Secretary Boniface, announces that the
French Government, true to the principles of its
policy, has recommended to the Cabinet of Turin to
annul the expedient of the regency which the
Government of the wing of Sardinia has delegated
to Chevalier Buoncompegni, u each a course would
prejudice the questions broughtbefore, and encroach
upon the competency of the Congress.

. .
The Cortstitutionnel mays :—"'l'hia advice must be
considered as a proof of the solicitude of the Emperor
for the Italian cause, which calms he made to
triumph on the field of battle, and the final settle-
ment of which awaits to-day but for the decision of
Europe."

The Opinion* of Turin says that the government
does not consider the Italian question prejudiced by
the regency of Central Italy. The preservation of
the alliance with France is of great importance to
Piedmont ; it is her duty to strengthen, every day,
the tie* which unite the Piedmonts,. government to
the generous French nation ; " but," says the
Opinion*, " can France forget that Piedmont
has entered into no engagements with Austria,
while on the contrary she has contracted engage-
ments with Central Italy? We hope that oar
government will know how to harmonise
the amicable relations, and the alliance
with France, with its duties towards Italy.
That we may not go back, it is neces-
sary to advance : if we stand still, if we
hesitate, we shall lose the power perhaps even of
moderating events. Events may then arise, so
changing the situation that the difficulties of the
Congress would be rendered inextricable."

BOLOGNA.
THE INQUISITION ABOLISHED.

The Government of Farini has published a decree
suppressing the Tribunal of the Inquisition u in-
compatible with modern civilisation. Such pro-
ceeding, as those in the cue of Mortara cannot,
therefore, again occur in Bologna.
M. Farini, Director of Puma and Modena,
and to whom the powers of the govern-

ment were entrusted until the institution
of the regency by the national assembly
of the Romagna, made his official entry into
Bologna on the afternoon of the 9th, accom-
panied by General Ribotti. The civil and military
authorities of the city went out to meet him, The
troops in garrison were under arms, the city was
adorned with flags, and acclamation' greeted him
during the whole of his passage.

1718 COLUMBIAN MIBBIOII.

The following were the resolutions adopted at
yesterday's meeting..
" That it ill a high Christian privilege and duty to
assist in the great spiritual work now opened out by Divine
Providence in the interesting and important colony of Co-
lumbia, and the bishop and clergy who are going forth there
have claims of • strong and special nature not only for warm
and Christian sympathy, but also for sincere and earnest sup-
port in their arduous mission."
" That us the British nation is indebted for the
founding of a mission from the church of Ragland
in Columbia to the munificence of a Christian lady,
and as it must depend upon voluntary contributions alone
for additional strength and support, the requisitionists
be requested to act as • committee in the metropolis
(with power to add to their number), for the pur-
pose of collecting contributions towards the sprcial
fund so urgently required for outfitting and main-
taining a sufficient number of missionary clergymen."
Mr. TITS, M.P., moved that the thanks cf the meeting
be given to the Lord Mayor for presiding, and for the use of
the hall, and availed himself of the opportunity of eulogising
the very practical speech with which his lordship bad opened
the proceedings.
Mr. W. Cotton seconded the resolution, and the Rev.
Joint Ciannzrr, in supporting it, took the occasion to en-
press the thanks of the Bishop of Columbia and those who
were going out with him, for the kindness they had met with,
and urged the neotesity of further contributions to enable
the bishop to miry oat the mission effectively. He observed
that the right rev. prelate had made himself responsible for
2,0001. for the maintensnoe of air clergymen, and it wee the
object of the special fund to enable him to add six more to
that number. More than the required number had offered
themselves—men in every way qualified; all that was wanted
was the funds.
The resolution was then put and carried, and
l'he Bishop of Lonram dismissed the meeting with the
Benediction.
The following were among the donations announced
Banbury, jun., Req., M.P., 201.: R. Williams, Req., 1001.;

TEE CONDEMNED MURDERER IN NEWCATIL

It has already been stated that the sheriffs have
received a communication from the Home-office, further
respiting the execution of the Portuguses Beeman Francesco
Pietro Gainianstas, alias Charles Annals, who was coaviated
of murder at the but sesvion of the Central Criminal Court,
and who waa to have suffered on Monday (t do morning, to
the 26th of December next. It has been imagined that this
amounts to • final decision on the part of the government
that the prisoner's life shall be spared, but it aware that
this is sot the case, se the Rome Secretary, in his oommuni-
melon to the sheriff., state., as be did in the former tumulus
when the first respite was sent, that the prisoner should be
distinctly given ta understand that his life is not porirively
spared, but that the inquiries that ere being made require
further delay to bring thaw to • satisfactory conclusion, sod
that this alone is the ground for the further delay.
The prisoner himself understands English tolerably well,
but, in such • serious matter, the sheriffs telt It
to be their duty to request the Portuguese Consul,
who, on behalf of his government, he. acted throughout the
proceeding. in assisting the prisoner in his defence, to attend
at the prison, and esplaist to the prisoner, in his own lan-
guage, the nature of the communication that had been re-
ceived, in order that there might be so possibility of mistake,
sad that gentleman at once complied with the request, and
certifully explained to the prisoner the reason for the further
delay. He expressed himself thankful for the kindness he
had received, and, as be hae done all along, declared ;hit he
had no motive for killing the unfortunate captain, and that
he did not Imow what he was doing when he committed the
dreadful act. It I. understood that inquiries are being made
at Lisbon es to the condition of the prisoner's mind shortly
before he chi pad on b.•rd the vessel of which the unfortu-
nate decesard was the muter, bat h is not likely that, under
say circumstances, the capital sialseas will now be carried
eat.

competitors. It may be that the stiff-necked party
they have with difficulty dragged thus far would
revolt at length at any further proposal to move for-
ward ; and that at the next plunge down hill they
would find the traces cut, and that without their
agricultural load they were fated to rush headlong
into the same ditch where Peeliam came to its end
u a power thirteen years ago. The precedent is not
pleasant or encouraging ; yet what is the alterna-
tive ? The Liberals may disclaim any undue
desire for office, sad there are undoubtedly
amongst them some with whom that feeling is
unfeigned. But in the absence of a prompt and
unqualified pledge from Government that they are
prepared to obey the behests of the House of Com-
mons loyally and thoroughly, by the speedy repro-
duction of a comprehensive and adequate Reform
Bill, the House will, as • matter of course, insist
upon their giving place to wiser and worthier men.
Whatever else happens, the Commons Huse of Par-
liament must not be set at defiance. Its will, deli-
berately formed and temperately expressed, would
be backed by the country in a tone which no
patriotic man would like to bear, if Ministers should
attempt to retain their places and carry on the busi-
ness of the State regardless of that will. We do
not for a moment impute to the existing Cabi-
net the harbouring of such an unconstitu-
tional design. Nothing in their past career lays
them open to it. The accusation oftenest brought
against them has been that they were too willing to
obey the beheets of the House of Commons, and that
they showed too little determination to lead it.
But the answer readily occurred to every fair and
dispassionate mind, that they had been forced to
take office in a Parliament called by their rivals, and
in which they were naturally at the greatest disad-
vantage. They are entitled, we think, to credit
rather than blame for having forborne to claim the
exercise of the Royal prerogative u the only means
of legitimately testing the opinion of the country.
When Sir R. Pam in 1834 was similarly summoned
by the Crown to form a Conservative Administration,
his first act Wei to dissolve the Whig Parliament,
then but a year and a half old. Lord DERBY is
I entitled to the credit of having been more considerate
for the public ease.

idle to disease all the speculations on this alibied which have
been current far the list few days. The pertinacity with
which the Chancellor of the Exchequer defended the bill
would countenance the expectation that either a dinolutkm
of parliament or a resignation of ministers was more likely
