INTOLERANCE AT PISA.

The following came of Fleetly intolerance occurred
in Pisa within the course of the last few weeks. It baa
ended in the defeat of Cardinal Corsi, Archbishop of Plea ;
but I refer to it in order to show to what trifles these
priests will stoop, in order to show their lured of Pro-
testantism. Dr. C—, an advocate of character and in-
fluence, and respected by all, though known to belong no
longer to the church of Rome, had the misfortune to lose
one of his daughters by death last summer. The parish
nest made no difficulty about receiving the body, and
mg it according to the rites of the church ; and, sa in
I y funerals are conducted by the priest and a set of hire.
lisp, and never attended bythe relatives of the deceased, Dr.
C— felt that, without violating his conscience, he could
have his daughter buried by the side of other members of
the family in the Campo Santo at Pies. So far, no diffi-
culty. The father afterwards desired to place a monumen-
tal stow on the wall adjoining the grave. There was still
Do difficulty. But when the inscription to be placed on it
was sent in to the chief of the fraternity to whom the
Campo Santo belongs, it was refused, because it cootaired
this verse, taken from the Diodeti, or Protestant treat-
time of the Scriptures, " Look unto Ye, and be ye saved,
' all ye ends of the earth, for lam God, and there is none
else."—lsaah xlv. 52. It was no secret that this was the
cardinal's doing, but Dr. C— was :reeler(' not to yield ;
be applied to the Prefecture of Pisa, and obtained an order
for the erection of the monument. I need not trouble
your readers with all the vexatious annoyances put in his
way ere the stone was in its place. Once there, the
battle seemed jAiiied ; and apparently the cardinal counted
upon the family looking at the matter in this light, and
taking no more interest in the cemetery; he therefore
allowed a certain time to elapse, and then gave orders to
have the inscription removed. C— knew what his anta-
gonist was up to, and had set a watch ; he was not conse-
quently surprised to hear of the order, but repaired at oace
Ito the prefecture tomake it known. The mistode of the
cemetery end the mason were summoned to the prefecture,
and there informed that the monument was not to be
touched ; that they would from that moment be held re-
sponsible for its being left unmolested, and that if any man
attempted to remove it, whether mason or custode, or the
('ordinal Corsi himself, be would at once be arrested and
thrown into prison.—Patriot Correspondent.

The Algiers journals state that the Duke and
Duchess de Malakhotf lately had a narrow escape. They
were driving out in a carnage, and on reaching the Vance
de la Femine-Sauvago the homes took fright at a cart, and
started off at a rapid rate ; the coachman could not control
them ; but seeing that they were approaching a deep
ravine he, by a violent effort, succeeded in throwing them
on one aide. One of the horses was injured, and the pole of
the carriage was broken ; but neither the duke nor duchess
was hurt.
