BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY

The Naples journals state that Lieutenant
Ghia*lli and some men of the Gist Regiment last week
captured five brigands forming part of Molinaro's band,
concealed in • grotto near Pasting. The bandits were
asleep, and with them was a prisoner of San Stephan,
aged 16, one of whose ears they had cut off. The lad
wept with joy on being reamed, as he fully expected to be
killed, not having any hope of hie parents being able to
pay a sum of 60,000 fr. demanded for his release. While
the brigands were being conducted to Isoletta they
endeavoured to escape, but the soldiers tired and killed
the whole.
A letter from Tenafro, in the Italia of Naples, an-
nounce' that the Canon Ciro Luosnteforte has been ar-
rested on the following grounds : —The authorities ascer-
tained that several sheds in the field belonging to this
ecclesiastic bad served as an asylum for the bwinds of the
Molise. Instead of conforming to the reguLtions pre-
eenlied and closing these buildings be left them
open, thus giving to the malefactors an excellent
shelter. The canon has been placed at the dis-
petal of the military authorities. The same journal
says :—" The brigand Antonio Maacaro of Ac-
' curia, • village nearNicastro, went to the &taloa
mill with the intention of killing his brother-in-law,
Giovanni Mascara. This idea is attributed to long-stand-
ing rancour. As soon as the bandit perceived Giovanni
he killed him with a musket-shot. He then went into the
iidghbouring vineyard and discharged the second barrel
of his gun against Grego:So Fain, • nailer of the place.
who died on the spot. Maacaro then made off and has
not sinoe been heard of. He belongs to the band of the
Cartage's.. The brigands who captured Giuseppe 'Ve-
toes, of Torreorsaia. have sent to his family demanding a
ransom of 2D,7601r."

Queen Isabella, according to the F'iydre and the
Epoque, has taken two hotels adjoining in the Champs.
Elyse's, not far from that of Queen Christina, and will
90011 arrive in Paris with her suite to occupy them.
Another 'anion is that she will occupy the Villa Beaure-
gard, which was once the residence of the late Miss
Howard. _

A letter from Berlin states that Count do Bis-
marck is not exclusively occupied with politics. In asso-
ciation with M. Conlin, a manufacturer, the federal
chancellor has founded in that locality a factory for
making paper from wood. The count supplies nine-tenths
of the capital for carrying on the business.
The sherry trade in Andalusia about 23 years
ago assumed greatly increased proportions, and now a east
amount of British property is accumulated in this district,
represented by various stocks of wines of various qualities,
vineyards, agricultural and pastoral farms, and also by
mining investments. In Jerez de la Fronton, alone, for
instance, there are about twelve English houses, whose
property in wino and land are estimated at 2,230,000 f.
The Spaniards generally value the British property at
Jerez at 4,000,0001. The British property at Port St.
kfary's represents a sum of 453,000/.; at Seville, 360,0001.
In the mining districts near Cordova about 480,0001.
British capital is invested in the Huelva districts, 580,0001.
in Cadiz and other towns ; general trade and ahipowning,
330.000/. There is, besides, an English railway between
Etrers. and Moron, the capital of which amounts to
030,0001.
