ANOTHER GREAT FlRE.—Yesterday morning, shortly
before one o'clock, a very-destructive fire happened at an
extensive emery factory, Weston-street, Bermondsey,

A letter from Turin in the Savoy Gazette, says :—" Don
Rinaldi, senior canon of the cathedral of Alba, has just
excommunicated a priest named Don Regio di Castino, for
having worn trousers instead of shorts and stockings to
the knee, as prescribed by the Council of Trent !"

Field Marshal Viscount Hardinge gave a grand dinner
on lgonday evening to General de la Marmora, at
the noble and gallant Viscount's residence in Great Stan-
hope-Street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
and a distinguished party had the honour to meet the
Sardinian General. The General was .accompanied by
his Exepllency the .Marquis d'Azeglio, and Count Very,
his aide-de-camp.
..
Ei POLITICAL ASSASSINATION AT itomi.—The "Piemonte of
• Turin states in a letter frrim Rome 'that a Lieutenant of
the gendarmerie, named Strinati, was suddenly attacked
there on the night of the 15th in the Via Laurina, near the
Corso, and severely wounded. The crime is attributed to
Political motives, Strinati having in ,le4B and 1849 been
notorious for his republican prineiples, which he ex-
changed for safer ones on the restoration of the Pope.
NUMBER OF RAILWAY PASSENGERS.-011 WedfleS.day a
Parliamentary paper was issued, showing that the -num-
ber of railway passengers in the halfyear ending 30th June.
last was 51,815,1491, and the corresponding period of the
preceding year the numliei was 50,367,404. A return was
also published, from which it appears that in the half-year
ending the 30th June last, the receipts were 9,894,0491 is
. In, the like period of the preceding year the receipts
were 9,424,603/ 5s 4d.
The Post says, the conferences of -Paris will open as
speedily as possible. The protocol of Vienna which
records the acceptance of the Austrian proposals by
Russia, provides that they shall meet within three
•weeks, at latest, from the signature of the protocol. The
only delay which is likely to arise may be caused by the
shortness of the time thus allowed to the present
Turkish envoy, who will have to travel the long journey
from Constantinople to Paris:

11PRF.SENTATION OF EDINBURGIT.--Another candidate
for the representation. of the City of Edinburgh has come
into the field, namely, Mr. Francis Brown Douglas, advo-
cate, one of the magistrates of 'the city. Mr. Brown
'Douglas is brought forward on account of the unpopularity
of Mr. Black's views with a large body of the electors on
the subject of Maynooth and the Scotch Pnblichouse Act.
The new candidate, in his address, expresses his opposition
to -the Maynooth endowment, and his determination to
resist any interference with the Forbfs M'Kenzie Act for
restricting traffic in intoxicating liquors. Mr. Brown
Douglas is in politics a Liberal Conservative.
The Times cautions Parliament on the danger of
members recklessly thwarting the work. of peace. The
negotiators are to meet within a distance which can be
reached in twelve hours twice a-day from the ball in
which Parliament assembles. Any indiscretion of lan-
guage, any intemperance of expression, any unfortunate
Choice of topics, any coeition mischievously put and
Unskilfully parried, will speedily find its echo in the
secret, but still, more important, negociations :it Paris.
When the negociations shall be over, it will not only be
the right, but the duty of both Houses of Parliament to
satisfy themselves that peace has not been retarded by
undue exactions, nor facilitated by mean or extravagant
concessions.

,EXTRAORDINARY FUNERAL CEREIKONr.—An extraor-
dinary circumstance took place a few days ago, in connection
with 'the dispute ;between thEi Bishop of Exeter and the
burial hoard of Torrington, which has beennlready reported.
An old and respected inhabitant of the town died, and as the
churchyard is closed, ura the 'cemetery is unlicensed and
Unconsecrated, thefriends of the deceased did not know what
to do. The Mayor of Torrington (Mr. G. Braginton) how-
ever, came forward, and offered to perform the funeral cere-
mony himself. Accordingly his Worship, accompanied by
the corporate body, proceeded to the unconsecrated ground,
and there read the service in an impressive manner, thus
demonstrating the feeling of the town in reference to the
bigotry of the Bishop of Exeter.
