........
in the emir,. of for slay the Lord Mayor made the fol-
lowing statement in reference to the extensive distress at
present existing among the labouring population:
His Lordship said - I have much pleasure to announce
that this morning I have been warted upon by Mr. Putter
and several other gentlemen who were intro-
duced by Mr. Rudkin and kir. Silverside, members
of the cot-pot-Ater t ept otenting the salesmen of
Newgate.market, who have with the most liberal
and benevolent feeling placed in my hands the sum
of 1001. as a donation towards the relief of the existing
distresa. I need scarcely say how much I feel gratified by
this fresh mark of good tooling on the pert of my fellow-
citizens, and of their appreciation of the warmer in which
relief has been hitherto administered to the deserving poor
of this court. It is well known that the system is that of
domiciliary visits. and each day convinces me notionly of the
propriety but of the actual necessity of mob it method, as many
CalAell of attempted imposition have been thereby detected.
I will also take this opportunity of saying that I have re.
ceived many valuable suggestions with regard to obtaining
larger funds to meet the emergency of the prevent severe
season, but I feel that whilst the stream of benevolence has
set in so spontaneously and bountifully it would be wi-
ailvi•-able to revert to any other course than that now
adopted, and which I will most cheerfully carry out to the
hest of my power.
His lordship subsequently said that a pod nail of the
letters reournmending cases of distress for the consideration
of the court merely gave the names of the parties without
adding the addresses. As no relief was atfonled without an
inquiry, to avoid as far as possible any attempt at imposi-
tion from being successful, the effect of no address being
given was to cause cousidenible delay in the administration
of the necessary assistance, awl be had, therefore, to request
that in future in all letters of recommendation that were
sent to him the addresses as well as the names of the
parties might be given.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE ABRUZZI

A Naples letter of the 12th in the Aide says :
It is known that the insurrection in the Abruzzi is rhiely
kept up by a oertain Colonel Istirmsge, who is represented
to be a Frenchman, but he is not PO ; his name is not !sig-
nings, but Klitache. He MU born et Berlin, and his father
was a Prussian, his mother being French. This chief of
tend of pillagers was for 19 or 15 years in the service of the
Pope, who made hint a lieutenant-colonel ; he then called
himself Kliteche de Lagrange. Having obtained a pension
from Pius IX. for his services, he went to Naples, and was
received with favour by Ferdinand 11. He then became
the correspondent of the Aiersterry Giizate, but n.
his salary se journalist and his pension from the
Pope were not sufficient to maintain his large family. be
received besides a subveution front the Neapolitan govern-
ment for services more or lees avowed. Thus, whet
the King wanted to make a communication to Europe with-
out assuming the responsibility of it, H. Klitsche tuidertook
to send it to the. A u (Jostle. He continued b. as in
the same way under Francis IL, who continued his allow•
ance. Various missions were besides confided to this ip.ut le-
man by the two kiap, and aroong,them was a secret clue to
Rime. During the last eight months of the Bourbouno
reign, N. lUitache resided at Caserta. He left the king-
dom after the departure of Francis for Gas* but with the
project of soon returning to play the horrible part he is now
idling. In person he ja toll and good-looking, but he squints.
Though he 11•11 nude fewer campaigns than he preteads, be

stature and manner, are veritable grenadiers ; one of them

A PRUSSIAN AND AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE.

The Augsburg Gnatite again states that a treaty
between Prussia, Austria, and Russia guarantees to
Austria the possession of Venetia. The Debate of
to-day, while doubting this assertion, observes that
very intimate relations exist between Austria and
Prussia. In order, it is said, to secure the co-ope-
ration of Prussia in the Venetian matter, Austria
will follow the Prussian policy with regard to
Schleswig ; she will recall from Cassel her charge
&spirts, who has compromised himself for the
Elector, and will name another diplomatist who will
support the partisans of the constitution of 1831 ;
she will adopt the Prussian plans ooncerning the
reorganisation of the federal army ; and will even push
her condescension so far as to leave t., Prussia, if
necessary, the supreme command of that army.

PRUSSIA.

The King of Prussia, on the Nth, sent for all
the generals present at Berlin, and (according to
the New Cl= ffeof Prltasict) thus spoke to them :

I have been called to the throne at an epoch full of
dangers, and with the prospect of combats in which I shall
perhaps have need, gentlemen, of all your devotedness. If
I and the princes who, like me, desire the maintenance of
peace, do not succeed in turning aside the storm
which is rising, we shall have need of all our forces
to resist and to defend ourselves. I am happy
Yo see Field-Marshal Wrangel, who is always full
of rigour, still at your head. For you, my dear
Minister of War, I have not prepared a bed of roses, and
you must courageously labour to make the army what it
ought to be for the future protection of Prussia. Let us
not indulge in any illusions. If Ido not succeed in turning
aside the conflict, we shall be engaged in a combat in
which we must vanquish if we are not willing to be sari.
hilated.

The Chamber of Deputies at Berlin the day

nated president by 204 votes to 82 ; M. Grabens

ROME.

A letter from ROllll3 has the following :
Mg. de Merode, whose retirement was announeed, is,
after all, to remain Minister of Arms. Re baa just decided
that the Pontifical army shall be increased to 6,000 men,
and the Fnuico-Belgian legion to 1,600. This hattilioti,
which, after the affair of Catelfidardo, was reduced to about
100 men, now coneista of about 70( and by a decree the de-
signation of Zoemves baa been official] given to them. The
enormous expenses caused by the col actingand breaking up
of the famous Irish regiment of St. Patrick have been more
than once spoken of. The pa/muter of it, a Captain Sim-
mering, wu for some time in custody on the charge of
having embezzled sums toollded to him but it is now stated
that he has escaped, The Pontifical administration is not,
it a model of uprightness, as I learn that Battaglia,
Director-General in the Ministry of Arms, has been arrested
for, it is gensrelly believed, embezzlement. The Pope, on
the occasion of the new year, has had a medal struck, with
the inscription, "To the Catholics who cowsgeonaly de-
fended their Sovereign Pontiff." Several of the horse. be.
longing to Francis 11. have just been sold here by auction.

small arms for the use of the army. In order
to ensure that the arms supplied should be per-
fect, a number of viewers are stationed at the
Tower, to whom they jars taken at the various stages of
their manufacture to be viewed, and if perfect to be
viewed. The prisoner was employed by Mann. Woodward
to work up the rough wood into stocks to pass the viewer,
with an understanding that in such cases as they did not
peas he would not be paid. The viewer at the Tower had
occasionally remonstrated with Lily on the unsatisfactory
state of his work. On the 19th of October he took two
pistol stocks to the foreman in Mr. Woodward's warehouse
to be sent on the next day to be viewed. When they bad
been returned from the Tower on the Saturday the pri-
soner brought another pistol stock to the foreman, which he
mid he had finished after be had given the first two in,
and that when he had gone to the Tower to tee the others
viewed he had got that one viewed and passed. The fore-
man told Mr. Henry Woodward that the prisoner had done
three stocks instead of two, and Mr. Woodward gave him a
pay note for the three at :is. 3d. each. Inquiry being aside,
it was discovered that the pistol stock last brought had net
hem viewed at the Tower, and that the marks upon it,
which purported to be there of the viewer who had paned
it, B 60, were forged. This was not taken notice of, but
on the 17th of November the prisoner was found in another
transaction of a similar character, only on this occasion it
waa on a gun stock instead of a pistol that the prisoner•
brought as having been viewed, received a pay note or, and
the mark, B 14, upon which was proved to be counterfeit.
Mr. Lien, for the defence, contended that in any case
where the false pretence was by sign, that should be dis-
tinctly averred in the indictment.
The learned Recorder ruled against the objection, and the
jury brought in a verdict of guilty.
The prisoner was sentenced to four years' penal servitude.
Mr. Adams applied for extra costs, which were granted,
upon the condition that if not allowed by the Treasury they
were to be refunded,

will take hereafter only such articles as may suit
you, but that you will do us the honour to
make use of it fur a year. Pilleelloll may be

with pain I confess that I leave Moetelais, which I have
inhabited for a quarter of a century, sad where I have
pealed twenty-five of the most laborious and, at the same

is diminished by the thought that, thanks to my illustrious
