ITALY.

The Giornale di Roma of the 3d has an article on
Mr. Murray's affair. It begins by stating that Rome
possesses a Penal Code and a code of procedure,
and that these, and not the caprice of the judge,
determine the rules for discovoring the truth. It
further recites, that -Edward Murray, a native of Ce-
phalonia, was brought over to Italy by his father,
followed the profession of a banker, and married Ursula
Gabrieli, a native of Loretto. In 1848 and 1849
he was named police inspector at Ancona, during
which time the greatest disorder reigned there, and
many murders occurred, in support of which assertion
the writer of the article quotes letters of Sir George
Hamilton, addressed to Lord Palmerston. Some
days after, it is further stated, a British vessel ar•
rived to protect the British Consul, and the Governor
had some assassins , arrested, amongst whom was
Murray :
" Nov, the writer concluder, these facts are forgotten ;
people show themselves full of pity, not for the victims
of the system of terror, but for Murray, who abetted it;
an European Parliament has had its attention called
to the matter, and it has been asserted that the Pontifical
tribunals are slow, and accessible to corruption. As
to the first assertion, it is not generally known that
Murray's case comprises eit;hteen counts of accusation
for the most serious offences, and that forty individuals
are implicated in it. As to the second, we repel it with
indignation, because our magistrates are models of im-
partiality. The case has been regularly judged by a
competent tribunal, and we have only now to learn the
tenor of the sentence."

MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.
The House of Commons has at length taken ram-
sures for the protection of its Members, the vindication
of its dignity, and the good order of its proceedings.
Mr. F. O'Connor is now in the custody of the Sergeant-
at-Arms. Our Parliamentary report contains the few and
brief speeches made on this painful occasion, and to this
report it is only necessary to add that just at the mo-
ment when the motion for his committal was being made
Mr. O'Connor stood at the Speaker's left band, and was
addressing that gentleman in a manner which, under
any circumstances, must have been a breach of order.
So soon, however, as Mr. O'Connor became aware or
the exact nature of the proposition which was about to
be carried, he walked out of the House, ob-
tained a glass of brandy at the bar in the lobby,
which he instantly drank, and proceeded, down
the Members' private passage into Westminster-hall,
whither he was followed by a few gentlemen, some of
whom were magistrates, known to the police. The con-
which they then received, told Mr. O'Connor that his
stables on duty, therefore, acting e
presence would soon be required in the House, and that
he must not quit the on on receiving this intimation

the House, proceeded to
and took Mr.
O'Connor into custody, and removed him without any
resistance to the rooms of Mr. Gosset, the
assistant-sergeant.' In a little time those eham-
Mr. Clementson, the
bars became filled with Members, anxious to learn the
particulars of the arrest. Their Presence' seemed vie-
villains, murderers; at times shouting gently to excite Mr. O'Connor, w

completed before the jeurement of the Nouse.
It is usual to supply Members in custody with
need to withdraw, and
refreshments at their own expense. If Mr. o'Con-
