ITALY.

The conclusion of the Sardo-Roman question was not
drawing to. a close. The admission by the Pope of the
civil marriage was made a sine qua non condition of a
reconciliation. between Piedmont and the Holy See. As
a.c•:-.mPensatio D, the Sardinian Government offered to
give satisfaction to the two banished archbishops. The
Marquis Spinola, who recently returned from Berne,
brought proposals of a somewhat more conciliatory na-
ture but M. Galragno, who anticipate s a change in the
political system of the Holy See, was in no hurry to con-
clude the isegotiation. The Campana, a Catholic journal
of Turin, says that he insists on the sanctia n by the Pope
of the Siccardi laws, and other religious reforms.
Ths Piedmontese Gazette of the 23rd inst. announces
that the Members of both Chambers and the Govern-
ment essisted, in the morning of that day, at a funeral
service, celebrated in the Cathedral of Turin, in com-
memoration of the officers and soldiers of the Sardinian
army killed at the battle of Novara. Masses of requiem
were performed with the same intention in the other
churches of that capital.
The Genoa Gazette of the 221 mentions the arrival of
the mail packet from Sardinia. When she sailed Sassari
was perfectly tranquil. The authorities had adopted
various measures for the complete disarmament of the
population and the surveillance,of foreign residents. The
column sent into the district of Nueva had collected a
considerable quantity of arms, which were deposited
at
Alghere. No fresh attempt had been made to prevent
the embarkation of corn since the arrival of the troops.
At Seniscela a rising took place against the municipal
authorities and the land surveyors. But the exhorta-
tions of the clergymen who preached the Lent,
tied
mul-
th
attitude of the troops, contributed to appeasee
titude.
The Grand Duke Constantine was to assist on the
23d at grand military manoeuvres in the neighbourhood
of Milan. The Prince, it appears, had asked Marshal
Rarletzki for a repetition of the operations of the Aus-
trian army at the battle of Novara. The Grand Duke
had gained for himself great popularity at Venice, for
having gone in search of the Austrian steamer Marianna,
in the Russian brig Wla lanir. He proceeciA to An-
cone, it:anfredonte, and Corfu, and wes assailed on his
return by a violent storm, which forced him to seek re-
fuge at Pala. There was little doubt but the Marianna
was lost, several pieces of the wreck having been dis-
covered at Tolle, at the month of the Po.
The Roman Observer has too following:—" On the
7th mate the first-born of the noble Countess of Solms,
grand-daughter of Prince Lucien Napoleon, coil deugh-
ter of the Right Hon. Thomas Wyse, Minister Pleni-
potentiary of England in Greece, was christen, d in the
Church of the Vatican. i'rinces3 It.eitia Bonaparte,
inother of the Countess, hold on the hcemal font her
grandson, who roceivttl the name cf Alt,xis. Count
Alexis tie Pornereux, who belongs to one of the noblest
and most illustrious families in France, stood as god-
father."

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(Prom the United Service Guzett:: of this day.)
TEE 12TH LANCERS.—We regret to find that a de-
tachment of the 12th Lareers, consisting of four troops,
employed for six weeks on; patrol duty against the
!afire, hare suffered considerably from the fatigue of
long marches and constant wet weather. One officer has
been very ill, but is now recovered. 72 horses have died,
but no troopers.
We regret to hear that Li,iut.-General Sir William
Warre, C.D., commanding the northern counties of Eng-
land, is seriously ill.
LIEUT.•GENERAL Sin R. ARKSTRONG.—By the last
acconnts from India, the aged Commander-in• Chief of
the Madras army was in a very infirm state of health;
he had, in fact, been an invalid from the day of his
arrival.
CHATHAM GARRISON.—Drafts from the several de-
pots stationed at Chatham will shortly be held in readi-
ness to embark for the head•quarters cf their respective
regime•ats. The men under 19 years' service have been
'radically inspected as to their fitness for foreign ser-

vice.
SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT.—A fort is to be erected in
the Isle of Wight for the purpose of defending the
Needles passage, at an outlay of 40,0001, and the works
at Hurst Castle are to be reformed, and placed in a
state of defence.
PLYMOUTH GARRISON.—The new barracks at Devon-
port are to be made to accommodate two battalions of
infantry, at an expense of 100,0001. A new guard-house
is to be built at the Gun-wharf, Devonport; and a new
cook house is to be erected at the Citadel.
CANADIAN RIFLES.—This corps is to be reduced,
from the Ist of April next, from ten to six companies,
principally, it is understood, because certain distant
stations, such as Bytown, are to be supplied by the en-
rolled pensioners now in course of organization and
location.
THE BAND OF TEE COLDSTREAM G usnns,--We
fear that a recent arrangement entered into with the
bandsmen of this distinguished corps will lead to the
rapid deterioration of what has hitherto been the pride
of the regiment. A few days ego Colonel Bentinck
assembled the band, and informed them that
from the Ist proximo they would receive no allow-
ance in addition to their pay, as soldiers, out
of the fund contributed by the officers. Hitherto
good musicians have freely entered the Corps, because
they looked forward to some ultimate advantage, in ad-
dition to the temptation of superior pay. This advan-
tage being withdrawn, the Regiment falls into the same
eategery with Corps of the Line. It is said that the
!Aden reduction has arisen from Lord Strefford's re-
Issal to contribute to the hand the same in manner with
41!!predecessor, the late Duke of Cambridge.
