TURIN, AVOUST 4.

I am enabled to announce to you the im.
mediate liberation of 'Alias White. She will, if
Ole pleases, go back to England, very angry at
heart that she can find but very little to say against
Piedmontese tyranny. Our government has thought
it inexpedient to bnng to trial a woman who for-
mally declares in her pleadings, and writes to all her
friends in England, that 'Mazzini is "the Christ
of the Age." For the rest, what appears strange,
but is true notwithstanding, is that Maxim
remains still amongst us, and the day be.
fore yesterday a long letter of his was seques-
trated which he had sent to one of his disciples,
Whether he stays here out of bravado or from
necessity I cannot tell. It may be that he has failed
in obtaining means to cross the frontier; since,
although the newspapers describe him as a sort of
conjuror, or as one poasesaing the ring of Gyges and
Aladdin's lamp, he has after all a visible and tangible
body, the scent of which is pursued by the police
hounds of every government. A.

ROME Ayr, -I 3.

The expected Consistory was held by: his Relines
at Bologna this morning, for the purpose of eccle-
siastical nominations, its as full an assembly of mem-
berg of the Sacred College as could be collected
together in that ultimo thole of the Papal dominions,
Rome having contributed five eminentissimi as her
representatives, in the persons of Cardinals Altieri,
Patrizi, Ferretti, end Della Genga. In the
Pope's harangue it was expected that he would
allude to further advantageous treaties concluded
between the Holy See and some of the minor German
states, but no announcement of changes in his own
administration were looked for.
Great preparations arc going on in Tuscany for a
sumptuous reception of the head of the church.
Pisa will offer the brilliant spectacle of her illusni-
naria on the quays of the Arno, for the gratification
of Pio Nono and his court. From Florence the
Pope will proceed to Siena, and re-enter his own
dominions by Monte Pulciano, Chiusi, and en%
dells Neve, whence he is to continue his route to
Orvieto and Viterbo, arriving in the latter city in
time for the great festival in honour of the protect-
ing saint, Santa Rosa, on the 4th of September,
and returning to the Eternal City for the festival of
the Madonna on the oth of the same month, when the
inauguration of the monumental column on the
Piazza di Spagna, commemorative of the Immacu-
late Conception, is decidedly to take
.place. There

congratulation at the Pope's return, and it is said
that the municipality, instead of throwing away
money upon paper arches and obelisks, has decided
to enhance the Pontiff's popularity bra liberal distri.
bution of bread and meat to the needy classes, upon
his resuming his residence at the 'Vatican. The
poorer orders are already in better heart at the
great reduction in the price of bread, consequent on
the abundant harvest; and as the oil and wine crops
likewise promise to be very satisfactory, it is trusted
that the distress which has been so long prevalent
in and about Rome will be much alleviated this
year.
