ITALY.

A letter from Naples, of the 19th, mentions the
return to that city from Rome of M. de Maupas.
The unpleasant incident which occurred has not
produced any other result than the temporary
absence of the French Ambassador.

IRELAND.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
DUBLIN, FRIDAY,

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The Daily Ex-
press of to-day announces that no hopes are enter-
tained of the recovery of Mrs. Blacker, who has
been suffering from the effects of the accident at
Straffan. Three actions against the company will
be tried in the Court of Queen's Bench during next
month. _ _

THE DUBLIN HOSPITALS.—A deputation waited
on the lord-lieutenant yesterday to protest
against the government grants to those institu-
tions, and requesting his excellency to use his in-
fluence in securing the donations in their integrity.
His Excellency received the deputation emir,
teously,- but regretted that he could not comply
with their request.
THE QUEEN AND THE IRISH EXHIBITION.—Her
majesty the Queen has commissioned Mr. M.
Angelo Hayes to paint a picture of the exterior of
the Dublin Industrial Exhibition building, as it
appeared on the morning of her majesty's visit, with
the attendant guard of honor, royal carriages, &c.
On Wednesday, the Northern Whig reports a
meeting held in- Donaghadee, for the purpose of
considering the advisability of extending the
present line of the county Down railway from
the terminus at NewtownardS to Donaghadee, and
also a project for establishing a line of steamers
from the latter port to Portpatrick. With respect
to the first matter before the meeting—that of the
extension of the railway—it will meet with general
approval, but the fact of the project which contem-
plates the making Donaghadee the point of com-
munication with Scotland, will be opposed by all
the power Belfast can wield.
We find froin the northern Irish journals, that
the communication between London and Belfast
by magnetic telegraph, will be completed in about a
fortnight, when there will be completed one con-
tinuous line of wires stretching from Cork in the
extreme, south of Ireland, through Belfast in the
north, across the channel dividing the two islands,
to the south-west coast of Scotland, . and thence
through the manufacturing towns and districts of
England, to London. In connexion with this an-
nouncement, we notice that the Electric Telegraph
Company has been again unsuccessful in the lay-
ing down of their wires from the Irish to the Scot-
tish coast. On Tuesday, says the Northern Whig,
the cable of the company was• " paid out" from a
steamer which took its departure from Millisle for
the . Scotch coast, but the vessel had not pro-
ceeded more than four miles seaward, when lo !
the cable again gave way to the great consternation
of all on board. The vessel returned to the shore,
and no other attempt has since been made to lay
down the cable. _ .

A BRAVE WOMAN !—I mentioned the other day
that a threatening'notice had been served on David
Ross, Esq., of 131adensburgh, in the north. That
gentleman, it appears was from home when the
notice came through the post-office into the hands
of his wife, the Hon. Mrs. Ross, With a spirit
worthy of a heroine, the lady, on receipt, im-
mediately .caused the following counter proclama-
tion to be posted up :
"In the absence of my husband, I copy and post up, to
the disgrace of this parish, a letter which I received and
opened, that the respectable people of this village may know
who they have among them, and purify themselves from
men who dare not sign their own name or meet publicly in
the face of day. J. say moreover, that should my husband's
health make it necessary for him to change climate this
winter that i will remain here to fill his place, in order that .
a cowardly cabal, who dare not say to any honest man " be
of us," should not continue to disgrace this parish by such
discreditable productions as the letter I now subjoin.
" earrigbawn, November 13, 1853."
Thelollowing is the threatening notice referred to :--
"My friend Mr. Ross i write to inform you that I will
. pay you a visit some of these nights you may be prepared
to meet us for it is not your Police that will save your life
this Winter you may also inform Mr. Pollard of the affair
from your friend. MoLLY 'MAGUIRE.

this port with two days' provisions to spare,
Yesterday a bulloclt. rendered wild by somo
excitement, ran through Wine-tavern-street, in a

length ham-strung by a thrust of a pitch-fork, and
then killed with the knife.
