The following is a pretty picture :—" Professor
HENRY TASSOLI, a priest, was arrested a few months
ago, and has been, since then, in prison, on bread and
water diet, and subjected to all kinds of torturing
contrivances, in the hope of obliging him to make
revelations. ATTILIO Moar, engineer, Louis CAS..
TELLAZZI, Archpriest of Bozetti, and others were ar-
rested at the same time. At Brescia they arrested
TITO SPBRI ; at Verona, Taccioli ; at Milan, GIO.
VANN' PEZZOTTI, who was found strangled in his pri-
son the next day. PEZZOTTI was a man of high in-
tellectual attainments ; whether he died by his own
hand to escape the moral tortures to which prisoners
for political offences in Italy are always subjected, or
whether he was killed by his gaolers, is still a
mystery. Sometimes they do torture for the
sake of compelling revelations, and then, having
gone too far, and fearing publicity, they kill.
Such are the things now going on in Lombardy--
part of that process of mortal warfare between the
people and tyranny which is continually going on in
Italy, whether we hear of it or not. The number of
the arrests, however, and the quality of
the arrested
persons, are proofs that in Lombardy the strife is at
this moment especially intense. We may hear more
ere long." More acts of tyranny and persecution we
may probably hear of, but we fear much there is not
that unity of purpose to be found in North Italy
may lead to emancipation from such grinding thral-
dom. With one hand the Hungarians are fettered,
with another the Lombardians scourged. NEMESIS
is not, however, dead, though she may slumber, and
albeit her visitation may be tardy, it is sure of being
some day fulfilled. which

Experiments for raising sunken vessels by means
of gutta percha tubes have been made during the last

Amongst others, a boat laden with between 5,000 and
6,000 kilogrammes (from 5 to 6 tons)
was sunk, and
then raised with its burden by the tubes filled with
air. The experiments were witnessed by several
persons connected with the navigation of the river,
and by Prince N. BONAPARTE, ex-representative.
