THE STATE OF PARKA.

The Opinions of Turin gives the following de-
tail.. dated the 18 tb, respecting the late murder et Parma:
It is auceted that several days previous N. Berdi had
been warned of his fate by an anonymous letter, jest es
Count )(trimly bad been. He expired lam night, a few
boars altar receiving the wound. These assa.einetions are
committed with usparalleled andsaity. B.rdi was &lowed
hy an orderly, and yet the aseasam struck his blow without
gists( tie latter time either to arrest him or even .e
nbie him. It is said that the ousel.. hive marked out
those for their victims who resomieed ',stance of death
apes the ringleaders of the ansturoction of 101 l 22, 1864.
It may be reeolletted that that sentence was executed with-
out admitting any petition for peados. Commandant i
Lased was maddest of the tribunal, and he was
murdered; Gobbi, the public prosecutor ht the
same ease, soon after received a sienna, of which be nee-
vend with dieculty ; sad now it has been Auditor Hordes
turn. He has left a widow with seven children, the eldest
of whom is scarcely tuned fourteen. Bunion, eye that
N. Lombardial, the minister, is to be the nest victim, and
'bat be hes reeeived intimation of hie fate. These crimes
spread caustsrastio• theoeghout the country, and every one
deplores that the government ationld be usable to unravel
this mystery of blood."
The Corriere Merassaik of Goma of the 21st mentions a
rumour, "wording to which Collin Giovanni, President of
the Crlmiaal CommlMton, has ale" fallen a victim to seseasi-
'scion, a stiletto bleier/ been oust at him at a disiacos of
gee passe. It is added that is coasequince of this last
attempt, the Austrient had rind the gates of the sit, to
be closed, tad had proceeded to wrest en awe.

mission of 'equity recently constituted by the royal war-

ment, and orders were issued that every neccsssry prepa-
ration for the reception of the oommissioners should be
made this morning by 11 o'clock. Yesterday afternoon,
however, instruotioas were melted at the hospital
