LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ITALY.

The Gazette della Romagna mentions that several
arrests were made in Bologna, and papers seized.
It adds that it is entirely ignorant of the cause of
this proceeding on the part of the authorities.
The bodies of Enrico Cairoli and Antonio Man-
tovani, who fell beneath the walla of Rome on the
23rd ult., arrived in Pavia on the Ist inst. for
burial. They were received at the railway station
by the Syndic, Professor Dell' Era (who pronounced
a warm eulogy on the deceased) ; by the whole of
the Municipal and Communal Council, by the
National Guards, the University and other stu-
dents, the workmen and the citizens, although the
day was unfavourable. The entire town was in
mourning. Discourses were pronounced over both
tombs by Dr. Beretta and P. Larerzi.
A letter from Rome in the Nazione says:

On the 30th of November a Pontifical Roney(' drew his
sword, and, without any provocation, struck and se-
verely wounded • young Roman on the head. Re was
then going to strikes crippled mendicantbut was prevented
before he could execute his pious intention. The circum-
stance took place in the Piazza di Spagna, and no notice
was taken of it by the police. A large crowd soon col-
lected, and expressed their feelings in indignant language.
The Zonaves are thoroughly hated by every one.

The Gazetto di. Milan; reports the following from
Cassano :

On Sunday morning a disgraceful scene occurred at
Cassano. An itinerant vendor of old books displayed his
goods on a bookstall. Amongst them were some medical
and surgical works illustrated by vignettes. An ignorant
priest spied some of the plates, and cried scandal and im-
morality ; he soon collected a mob who made an auto da je
of the books, and it was by mere good luck that the book-
seller himself escaped the fate of Fre Savonarola.
