The Pope left the Quirinal on the 6th, on an
excursion. to Monte Rotondo, where he arrived in
about two hours. He was received by the authorities
and the clergy, .and escorted by them to the..palace
of the Prince ofPiombino, where he afterwards ad-
mitted them to kiss his foot. His Holiness then
visited the convent, of Capuchins, where he dined
and admitted to his table the bishops of Sabina,
Pavia, and Brescia, the delegate of Rieti, and Gen,
Allouveau de Montreal, with one of his aides-de-
camp. His Holiness returned to Rome the same
evening.:.

A quantity of paper-money, representing the

therlands), for his adhesion to Jansenist prin-
ciples.

A shook of earthquake was experienced_ on the
28th ultimo, at CittadUcale, in the Neapolitan
territory.

The 'Giornale di Roma of the 4th announces that
the electric telegraph, which already extends from
Rome to Bologna and Modena, is to be continued
to Terracina, there to meet the Neapolitan wires; so
that Naples, Rome, Bologna, and Modena, will form
but one uninterrupted line. _ _

Father Rosa, one of the astronomers of the Col-
legio Romano, announces, in the Giornale di Roma,
that on the 23rd ult., he observed the comet disco-
vered on the 11th ult., at Berlin by Mr. Brunns. It
was near the star s Leonis, and resembled the ne-
bula of Hercules, though a little paler; it had no
tail, but a very distinct nucleus, and brilliant
enough to allow the telescope being moderately
lighted. Father Rosa compares the comet to a star
of the tenth magnitude.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY
TIIE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

After the experiments, some witnesses were examined.
The first was Owen Gilson, the examiner or the rolling
stock of the company, whose duty it is to see that the breaks
are in good order, on the departure and arrival of each train.
He deposed that on Tuesday the break of the van belonging
to the goods train was in perfect order. Prue, the guard, in
whose charge it was, made no complaint of it to witness.
John Simmington the ticket-taker at Sallins, deposed
that, to the best of his opinion, the express train had a tail-
light when leaving Sallins, but he could not say whether it
was a red one, or not, or whether there were side-lights.

Mr. Miller 'was also examined relative to the. result of
the experiments which has been already given you.
The inquiry was then adjourned till to-day, when it is not
improbable it may draw its slow length to a closd. Mean-
while, itisbut just to remark that the Companyhave.through,
out afforded every facility to elucidate the cause of the
accident, and I understand that the directors have expressed
their intention of giving full and reasonable compensation to
the Men& of those who were killed, or to any who suffered
injury. They will not, it is generally said, resort to any
vexatious defence, of which no amount of damages could
obliterate.the recolletion. But whenever matters cannot be
settled by.an arbitration, judgment at nisi prius will be suf-
fered to go by default, and then the defendants will.go before
a judge of assize to assess the damages. This is indeed the
only, as it is the best, means of retreving the character the
Company has hitherto enjoyed; and I believe there is no
reason to doubt the. truth of its being contemplated, as be-
sides being the least equitable, it will also be the most ex-
pensive mode tor the shareholders.
The sufferers in hospital are progressing favourably.

TRACT DISTRIBUTING IN DUBLIN.—On Saturday, Mr. M.
A. O' Brennan a gentleman well known in equality"
circles here, summoned a than named Smith, before Mr.
O'Callaghan, at Capel Street, under the following circum-
stances. . The complainant was on the previous evening
walking in Sackville Street with a lady, when the defendant
advanced and "thrust" a paper into his hand, which on
examining Mr. Ullmann discovered to be a tract ." hurtful
to his feelings" as a Roman Catholic, he therefore gave
Smith into custody. The cases belli in question was an
invitation to attend a controversial sermon. The plaintiff
having sworn. that Smith forced the obnoxious document
into his hands, the presiding magistrate sentenced, the
prioonci to by bound 0V VL to kccp LLn pctux lu Illsuwn
recognisances, which having been done, he was discharged.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—The Anglo Celt says :
"On Friday last, a dispute took place between a per-
son named Young, stopping with his uncle. at Arnaghan,
near Scrabby, in this county, (Cavan,) and the uncle's
servant man. Young ran into the house for a gun, when an
aged man named Halton, got before him, and begged that
he would be calm. The gun went off, and Halton was shot
dead on the spot. Young was arrested on Saturday morn-
ing, in his father's house, adjoining this town, and brought
before the Coroner."
SANITARY STATE OF DUELIN.—The Freeman contains a
long account of the prevalence of bad sewerage in Dublin.
It would appear that, not merely in the slums of the city,
but in the most fashionable localities, there is no efficient
means to enable the inhabitants to get rid of house-filth,
and that, in most instances, it accumulates in vaults, cess-
pools, and ashpits.
INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A WIFE—On Saturday, at Col-
lege-street office, a respectable man, named Carroll, was
committed for trial for knocking down his wife, kicking her
about the body, and threatening to "put a knife through
her." • •

THE NEW FISHERIES COMPANY.--The Evening Post
says :—The honorary secretary, Mr. Dillon Croker, has re-
ceived a communication from the Home Secretary, Lord
Palmerston, which leads to the belief that his Lordship will
recommend that a Royal Charter shall be granted to the
company, in accordance with the prayer of the numerously
signed memorial recently presented.
INCREASE of IVA.4ss.—Mr. Dargan's speech as to the in-
crease of wages, at Limerick, has had the effect of stirring
up the operatives more than the employers. Already there
have been Several provincial meetings of workmen " asking
for more ;" and it is well if the strike movement, which has
shown itself slightly in the north, do not spread itself over
the country. .

EMIGRATION.—Accounts from the South tell us that
numerous emigrants are still leaving the ports of Cork and
Waterford,
THE LISBIIRN ELECTION.—This election has terminated
in a manner creditable at once to the independent spirit and
to the good management of the Liberal electors. The re-
turn of Mr. Richardson, of the Island, has taken place in
such a manner as will effectually secure for the future the
predominancy of the Liberal influence, to which he owes his
•electian.—Northern Whig.

The well-known residence of Mr. George ,Hud-
son, M.P., at Albert-gate, Knightsbridge, has been let for
five years to Count Walewski, the French Ambassador, at
rental of AN° per annum,
