PIEDMONT.

A letter from Genoa of the 30th ult. says t—" It ie
known that after the marriage of the widow of the
Duke of Genoa, daughter of the King of Saxony.
with Captain Rapine, her Mackie* with the court
of Turin ceased. The Empress of Russia has ene•
ployed her efforts to put an end to the painful sites"
tion in which the young princess has placed herself.
The King and Queen of Saxony and one of their
daughters being on a visit to the Duchess of
Strew, on the Lake Maggiore, the Czarina, to
remove the first difficulties, persuaded the
King and the duchess to visit the King of Sardinia
at Turin, and they arrived at that city by special
train at half-past six in the evening of the 24th, and
remained till eleven the next morning. To remove
other difficulties, and replace the princess in het
former position, her Majesty has offered to procure:
her husband a high title in Russia, and has recess-
' mended the King of Saxony to make him a duke.
, In spite, however, of the reconciliation between the
Duchess of Genoa and the King of Sardinia, her scie,'
the Prince Thomas, is to continue to be brought up
• with the children of his Majesty.

THE TREATY WITH PERSIA.

BAGDAD,

The government of his Majesty the Shah-in-Shah
of Ina has apparently shown no diainelination to confirm
the treaty of peace entered into at Pa-is on the:4th of March
of this year between Lord Cowley, on the part of England,
and Ferukh Khan on that of Persia; for although by the
articles of tho treaty three month, were allowed before it
was necessary that the reap wtive copies, after having been
ratified at London and Teheran, should he exchanged at
Bagdad, yet so great has boon the speed at which the Per-
sian messengers have travelled that the fui thee ratification
Of the peace has taken piece one month and tied days
before the stipulated time. It is rather remarkable as
showing the great desire of the Persians for ponce, that
the bearer of the Teheran copy of the treaty actually arrived
here before the English ropy of the treaty had been received.
It is to be hoped the Persians will show the same alacrity in
withdrawing their troops from Herat.
Hewn-AlisKhan, the chief of the Ghabour tribe, is ma
Ids way here to tender the requisite explanations to Mr.
Mum, and to invite him in the name of the Shah of Perna
to return to Teheran.
It is Alsip that the British Embassy will leave Bagdad

BE PAPAL STATES.-M. DE RAYNEVAL'S

REPORT.

(rzom out owl

ROME, Aran, 2.

At the French Ambassador's reoeptioa on Tuesday
evening, everybody except M. de Rayneval himself
was occupied with dimming the extraordinary
report on the state of Italy in general, and of the
Pontifical dominions in particular, sent by his Excel-
lency to the French Minister for Foreign Affairs,
and revealed to the public through the columns of
the Doily Nears. Even Roman princes, indif-
ferent as they usually appear to the course of poli-
tical events, either at home or abroad, were roused
to a momentary eagerness for a sight of the docu-
ment or an explanation of its contents, and it seemed
to be admitted on all sides that the diplomatic repu-
tation of the minister had not been increased by
the publication of his long-winded lucubration,
upon the " insoluble nature of Italian perplexities."
The more educated Romans of the middle classes,
who give their attention to the politics of their
country, indulge in unmitigated laughter at the con-
tradictions which teem in the ambassador's report—

contradictions which they consider to be only ex-
plainable by the supposition that, in describing the
flourishing condition of the Roman dominions, he
had been courting the approbation of Cardinal An-
tonelli, whilst, in dwelling upon the discontent of
the inhabitants, and the necessity for an unlimited
foreign occupation, he had been endeavouring to
coincide with tho intentions of tho Emperor
Napoleon.

THE FAMINE IN FM-4.ND.

(runt oul OWN

STO'ZKHOLIC APRIL 15.

The latest accounts from TAnland continue to give
a most distressing picture of the famine raging in
that unhappy country, which does not fail to excite
the greatest sympathy lore and in every other part
of Sweden, as subscriptions are liberally entered
into, and balls, concerts, and theatrical representa-
Sons' invert for the charitable of raising
funds for the relief of our distressed hren en the
other aide of the Gulf. Several vessels have been
chartered by the committee, and laden with corn,
but they cannot move till the ice breaks up. In the
districts of Clleaborg, Wasa, and Kurpio alone, out
of a population of 6,54,000 souls, no less than 230,000
have no other means of subsistence than begging, or
else eating the unpalatable bread made from the
bark of trees. The mortality is consequently very
great, and daily on the increase, as the dreadful
famine typhus has broken out with great malignity.
The distress is so great that children have been seen
who, for want of other food, have actually eaten off
their own fingers! Liberal contributions have been
sent from Ilamburg and Lubeck ; but in Denmark,
where they make such • fuss about fraternity, and
dream of the Scandinavian union, they have done
nothing to allay the misfortune. Upwards of 80,000
dollars have hitherto been remitted from Sweden,
and as soon as the ice disappears, the above-men-
tioned vessels with corn and flour will be despatched
to their relief.
London, England, 1857-04-22

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

The total number of deaths registered in London,
in the week that ended on Saturday, was 1,084, showing a
slight increase on the return of the previous week, which
was 1,069. In the ten year' 1847.66 the average number of
deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,068;
but ss the number recorded last week occurred in an in-
creased population, the average, for the sake of comparison,
must be raised in proportion to the increase, in which case It
will become 1,184. Hence It appears that the state of the
public health was so far favourebte that 80 persona survived,
who would have died if the average rate of mortality had
ruled. _

HOoping-cough 'teems to prevail as much, or continues
to be fatal to as many children, as In the midst of winter,
when the mean temperature was 12 deg. or 18 deg. lower
than it is now. The cleaths front this complaint last week .•
MO again to 71, which occurred in proportions of consider-
*bee uniformity in most of the metropolitan districts.
This incr.ee may be due to the coldness of last week.
when the thermometer fell on four nights to 33
deg., and on one to 31.4 deg. Seven registrars
returned, each of them, 3 death. from hooping-eough. The
' average number for corresponding weeka of previous years is
66; and the present return exhibits, therefore, an excess of
18. It is satisfactory to 'remark that only one death from
small-pox occurred in the week ; this single cane was that of
an infant, and took place in Rotherbithe. The numbers re-
ferred to measles and acerbities respectively 24 and 26, vary
little from those of previous weeks. The former disease pre-
vails chiefly in the central districts; the latter, a. well es

charged by his colleagues to draw up tho speech
from the throne on the opening of the Cortes. It
was doubted that the Queen would open the Cortes
in person, being near her confinement. M. Miri'n
had caused 60,000,000 reels, the third instalment of
the loan which he has contracted for, to be paid to
the government. An armed hand of 16 men had
been arrested in the neighbourhood of the town of

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IV LIVERPOOL.

About twenty minutes before eight o'clock yester-
day morning, a fire was discovered in a large clack of ware-
houses, belonging to Mr. BushLy, situate at the corner of
Sperling-street and Hurst-street, Liverpool. The building
is seven storeys high, and the fire was first observed in the
fifth storey, by James Hornby, machine clerk at the Wapping
station of the railway, to which the premisee are closely ad-
joining. An alarm was immediately conveyed to the head
station of the fire brigade, and Mr. Hewitt, with two or throe
engines and a large number of hose, and firemen, were
speedily on the spot.
From the great height at which the fire broke out, it was a
work of great labour and coneiderable danger to get the hew
to bear on the flames, particularly as the smile inside were of
wood. One of the firemen, named Hughes, was nearly suffo-
cated in attempting to get up the staircase, and had to be taken
to the hospital in a car. Notwithstanding every exertion, the
fire, which had gained an ascendancy before any effort for ex-
tinguishing it could be made, continued to increase, and
the two storeys above that In which it had broken out, toge-
ther with the roof, were soon entirely consumed. The lire
then attacked the floor below, and speedily destroyed the
fourth one. At this time great fears were entertained that
the gable towards Hurst-street would fall, and crash the
appetite houses. Linder this apprehension a woman, named
Wright, who keeps a beer-chop et the opposite corner, and
who had been confined only on the previous day, bad, with
her infant, to be removed.
The warehouses were chiefly filled with cotton, and con-
tained 2600 bales, 2,NA of which were the property of
J Meters. J. and D. Malcolmenn and Co., the remainder be-
longing to Messrs. B. J. Babcock and Co., Henry Moore
and Co., and Frederick Lyon Brothers. Messrs. Malcolm-
son, we understand, are insured in the Lancashire and the
Royal Insurance office.; and Meters. Moore in the Liver-
pool. Very little has been saved of the premises or pro-
perty above ground ; but as the cellars are arched, and
fireproof, no injury has been suetained by the property
contained in them, which is wine and spirits belonging to
Messrs. Preston.
