THE BRITISH INSTITUTION.

The private view of the annual Exhibition of the
works of Ancient Masters and deceased British
Artists took place on Saturday. It had been sur-
mised that, owing to the grand gathering at Man-
chester, the Institution would suffer this year at
least in the quality of art and in the number of works
exhibited. A cursory glance round the MOM
sufficed to dispel this ides, and a closer inspection
served to show us that the collection is fully equal
to the average.

THE AUSTRIAN AND FRENCH OCCUPATION
OF THE ROMAN STATES.

A petition to the House of Commons on the sub-
ject of the continued Ananias' and French oecupetion of the
Roman State. is in circulation in Norwich. The petition
etetes, inter olio, that since the fall of the Roman Republic
unne of the promised political representative institutions have
been inaugurated, the unlimited despotic authority of the
Pape dill remaining the sole bane of the government ; that
the corrupt regime of the priests still continues its misrule,
that the press is gagged, Individual liberty violated, admi•
niotration bought end sold, corruption made a system, terror
orgenised,
_and free conscience tortured and denied through-
out the whole extent of the Roman territory; that in spite
of a nominal amnesty and solemn promises that the poet
should not be visited, except on a few lenders, thousands of
eonplopf•• have been turned out cloaks, thoussado of &millets
thrown into otter poverty, doomed to (Mk, confined in dun-
geon., and hundred. Mot by the government since ts re- inmate-
mast, or by Austrian and French military councils ; that the
Prolonged occupation of Rome, and of all Central Italy, by
Austria and France, resting onfortifisi points, and connected
with their respective bases of operatione, smonnto almost to •
military conquest, end that in the case of • conflict between
the great European powers it would ensue to those two yr,
remnants ems of theme! important etrategetie positions in
Europe. The petition also urges that it is degrading and
highly perilous for Ores` Britain to abandon Europe to un-
controlled despotic Influences, to reposnee all interference for
good, white allowing every other government to interfere for
evil, to keep aloof from the mighty contest now going on
between the Italian people sad the papacy fur liberty of con-
science, and not to interims her will so as at least tubers the
principle of non-interftnesee respected by all, and the Italians
left free to settle the question one fair and egad ground be-
tween the claims of coma:Waco and papal oppression left to
its own internal forces.
