sible effect on the proverbial ignorance of the popu-
Ltion. In the towns eenstitutional ideas are rapidly
gaining ground, and a hope is entertained that a few
years more of tranquillity and patient perseverance in
good and t quitshle administration will materially
change the condition of the island for the better.
A later from Leghorn states that the Grand Duke
of TUSCANY has fully approved of the plans submitted
to bim by M. POIRET., a French engineer of the
punts-et-ehaussees, for the enlargement of the port of
that place.
M. VICTOR LANJUINAIS, late member of the
National Assembly of France, arrived at Rome on
the 25th ult.

Father AURELIO MATTI, the new Patriarch of
Venice, made his solemn entry in that city on the
27th ult.

On the 151 ult. t magnificent theatre, called the
Teatro Alignieri, was opened at Ravenna.

Edward MURRAY was allowed to travel to Ancona
in a corrieee, the expense of which was &hared by
another political prisoner, Colonel CAVANNA, of the
gendarmerie, who is now experiencing vengeance for
' having displayed too much ml in the service of the
Republican Government. The colonel was hand-
cuffed during the journey, but MURRAY'S hands were
left feee, and he was treated with tolerable mildness
by the escort of gendarmes.
It is thought that the order for his execution bad
I not been seat to Ancona, at least up to the 25th ult.
The following interesting particulars, relative to this
unfortunate eff:iir are gwen by the Roman cor-
respondent of the Daily News, and we entertain strong
hopes that the well-know benevolence of the Roman
Poevrier's disposition will prevent a consummation
which would greatly exasperate the public mind in
England:—
" Mrs. .Muenee and her daughter-in-law are

extreme penalty falling upon one so dear to them,

and whose innocence they so fully believe and
perseveringly maintain. In an interview with

should see him deliver it into the POPE'S
hands.
Mrs. MURRAY de*!ivered the paper, as the prayer of .
mother for the life of her son, and had the satisfac-
tion of seeing it handed to the POPE as soon as he
made his appearance, and when ho approached the
place where she was standing on his way to the state
carriage, she flung herself on her knees before him,
spreading abroad her arms with all the energy of
maternal feeling and southern gesticulation, and ex.
claiming at the top of her voice—' Santita! Have
pity on a mother, and spare the life of her son !'
Mrs. MURRAY, jun., assisted at the touching scene, by
holding out her infant child towards Pio Norio, who
smiled benignly on the supplicants as he passed, and
re-assured them with a motion of his hand, the bene-
volence of his manner filling them with hopes, which,
it is to be trusted, as well for his -own sake as for
theirs, will not be belied by his actions."

DESTRUCTIVE Film AT BOTHER-
BITIIE.

This morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire
of a very alarming and destructive character, and which
was nearly attended with fatal consequences, broke out
in the premises belonging to Mr. Nichol, a haberdasher
end stationer, at No. 8, Neptune-street, Rotherhithe.
At the time of the outbreak some persons were in the
house attending to a dying man, and so strong a hold
had the tire obtained of the lower part of the building,
that as they were carrying the man down the flsmes
laid hold of the staircase end nearly prostrated them.
The filmes by that period had penetrated every room in
the building, and strong fears were entertained for the
safety of the houses on either aide. With all possible
expedition the London Brigade and West of England
engines attended. The firemen bad their engines imme-
diately set to work, and copious streams of water having
been thrown upon the conflagration it was eventually
extinguished, but not until the premises in which it
commenced were totally destroyed, the contents con-
sumed, and the adjoining premises damaged. The origin
of the misfortune could not be ascertained. The pre-
mises ate understood to be insured in the Pl.canix Fire-
offiv, and the contents in the Star Fite-office. Mr.
Mao', besides the loss of his stock in trade, &e., has
'lO5l GOl. in gold, fallen amongst the ruins.

FATAL BALLOON ASCENT.—Ors Wednesday even-
ing last Mr. James Goulston, of the Cremorne-gardens,
made a balloon ascent from the Bellevue-gardens, Manches-
ter. lie had assumed the name of Signor Giuseppe Lunardini
for the occasion, and an immense crowd assembled to see the
ascent. The balloon was a new one, manufactured by him-
self, at his oilcloth establishment in the Old Kent-road. The
machine was 40 feet high, and 33 feet in diameter, holding
23,000 cubic feet of gas, And was ready for the ascent at
seven o'clock in the evening. It was raining at the time,
and the balloon was lost to view in about two minutes,
having gone into a dense black cloud. A strong wind was
blowing from the south-west, and the aerial voyager took a
direction towards Sadd;evvortb, in Yorkshire. Yesterday
morning it was ascertained at Manchester that Mr. Goul-
ston had been killed in a stone qusrry, near Saddleworth.
He is said to have been killed at about a quarter past eight
o'clock, but further particulars are not known. This was
his 51st ascent. His son bad been engaged to make the
ascent, but, being unable to leave Cremorne-gardens, his
father came to supply his place.
BALLOON ASCENT FROM ERANKFORT.—MT. Green,
jun., made a balloon ascent from Frankfort on the 28th ult.
After rising a considerable height, and remaining some time
over the town, he saw a storm approaching, and resolved to
descend in a field. When the cords which he threw out
reached the earth, a number of peasants seized them, and
pulled at them violently. They then seized the hoops and
lower part of the balloon. This rendered it impossible for
Mr. Green to open the valves, and the consequence was that
A embark at

R. FEARGUS O'Cormou.—Tbis lion. Gentleman,
wuo has returned from America within the last few days,
was present in the House of Commons last night, and in-
dulged in some of those eccentricities which attracted consi-
derable attention to his conduct previously to his trip across
the Atlantic. Mr. O'Connor, at the meeting of the House,
took up his position on the front Opposition bench, and fre-
quently left his seat to shake hands with lion. Members,
most of whom displayed some anxiety to escape his obtro-
sive attentions. Mr. Fitzroy, after presenting a petition,
was about to leave 'the Ho when Mr. O'Connor seized
him by the hand, as he pass_ed between the Opposition
benches and the table, and endeavoured to pull him down

engagingupon the seat.Mr• O'C ' •

That gentleman immediately desisted from his at-
tempt to
detain Mr. Fitzroy, and soon afterwards quietly
left the House.
Tax BRITISH MUSEUM.—The bronze gates in

front o
' stone piers on either side by which they are sup-
massive
ported a
re sufficiently extensive in their interior to form a
room for the gatekeepers, who are at present in the occupa-
ton of them. There are stoves in them, which have fur-
naces to consume their own smoke. The sentinels have been
removed from the spot where the former gates stood, and
their boxes are placed on either side of the new gates.
There are now but a few yards of the railings to be erected;
but it will be some months before the entire length will be
completed.
