ITALY.

The Piedmemtese Gazette, of the 2(1, announces
that the King of Sardinia has entrusted Count Cavour
with the composition of a new Cabinet.
The Opinione of Turin, of the 23, corrects the
statement it made the day before, respecting the con-
ditions proposed to the King of Sardinia by Count
Revel, in the event of his accepting office, and states
that none of them were anti-constitutional.

In the sitting of the 27th ult. of the Royal Court
at Ylorence, the examination of the other defendants
in the case of high treason was proceeded with. Pan-
tanelli, accused of having acted as secretary to the
popular club of Siena, of having distinguished himself
as an agitator, and ce-operated in the pulling down
of the grand ducal arms, &c., replied that, in avow-
ing his republican opinions at the time, he committed
no crime ; he denied having taken a part in certain
conferences held at Siena by Montanelli with some
demagogues, and complained that he had not been able
to produce witnesses. The Court having observed
that he had bean perfectly free to call as many wit-
neases as he liked at his own expense, he replied
that such liberty was tantamount to a prohibition,
inasmuch as he had no pecuniary means at his ccm-
mand.—Henry Valtancoli was next examined. He
is known as a virulent writer, and is described in the
indictment as director and chief editor of the radical
paper 11 Popolano, and accused of exciting rebellion,
aiding in establishing the republic, approving of the
assassination of Count Rossi, &c. The defendant,
after pleading prescription, and declaring that the
description given of him was erroneous, seeing that
he bad never been the responsible editor of the
Popolano, objected that he had never co-operated
with,Nicnlini, nor with the Ministers under trial;
that, on the Bth February, while the club was assem-
bled under the portico of L' og,agno, to announce
to the people the flight of the Grand Duke, he (Val-
tancoli) staid at home ; that he had no confidence in
the Ministers of that period; and that his paper, con-
sequently, was an opposition paper. He added, that
he had believed Nicolini to be a Government agent,
but only because public rumour pointed him out as
such. After explaining the spirit of several of his
articles which had appeared in the Popolano, he
admitted that he was present at the meeting of the
club which took place in the Teatro Nuova, but
denied his having addressed the meeting. Guerrazzi
than rose and submitted a question to the Court,
which he wished to be addressed to Valtancoli. I❑
answer to this, the latter retracted certain passages of
his written examinations which related to Guerrazzi,
and which, he said, were dictated by the animosity
he felt against Guerrazzi, who had got him arrested.
(Valtancoli's arrest dates from March, 1849.) The
Court then adjourned to the following day.
The international company for the Austro-Parmese
and Modanese Customs line was officially installed at
Milan on the 28th ult.
The Board of Health at Leghorn has imposed a
quarantine of five days upon all arrivals from Con-
stantinople.

TURKEY.
Accounts from Constantinople to the 21st ultimo
have been received via Vienna. The remainder of

the funds intended for the reimbursement of the

first payment of the loan was sent off by the English
packet on the 19th of October. It could not be sent
by the French packet in consequence of the difficulty
in procuring gold, and particularly foreign gold.
The Government has, however, decided on taking
measures beforehand, so as not to meet with simi-
lar embarrassment with subsequent remittances,
and it will, in case of need, send ingots to
Europe. The same mail has also brought a
considerable amount in bills on Paris and on
London. The Sultan went to the Porte on the
19th, as it is the custom to do every time that he
appoints a new Grand Vizir ; the visit gave rise to no
incident of any moment. The sudden departure of
the french vessel the Ajaccio from her anchorage, at
Therapia, in the night of the Mt; caused some de-
gree of excitement among the Turks, and was the
subject of various comments among the newsmongers
of Pers. The only motive for her departure was,
that she was sent to the Dardanelles to meet Count
Bacciochi. While the Hospodars of Moldavia and
Wallachia Were disputing about a question of prece-
dence on the subject of the congratulations which
they had been charged to offer on the part of the
Sultan to the Emperor of Russia on his passing near
the frontiers of Turkey, the Czar left, and these gen-
tlemen found themselves too late. The Porte has
signified its disapprobation of their conduct in the
affair.

Tai MEDITBARLNEAN.—The Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company's ship Sultan, Captain
George Brooks, arrived here at five o'clock yesterday
evening, bringing ship-letter bags and dates from—
Constantinople, Oct. 19 ; Smyrna, Oct. 22; Malta, Oct.
25; Gibraltar, Oct. 31. The Bombay mails, comprised
in about 50 boxes, left at Malta by the Bentinck, have
been brought home by this steamer. The Sultan brings
212 packages of gold coin, value 207,6001. sterling, the
principal part of which was shipped at Constantinople by
the Turkish Government, and consigned to their agents
in London, for the purpose of reimbursing the holders of
that portion of the Turkish loan recently negotiated in
England, which has been repudiated, and its ratification
refused by the Ottoman Porte.
METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.—In cotvequenco of
n. recent decision of the official referees, a circular has
been issued by several of the distrie surveyors, an-
nouncing that henceforth it will not be permitted to
leave openings in new buildings prt parltory to addis
tions being erected, which it is well known has been the
custom since the Act came into force.
ARREST OF FOREIGNERS IN HULL, FOR STEALING

5001.—At the Hull Police Court on Thursday, two fo-
reigners, of gentlemanly appearance, named Hermann
Lorentz and Carl Ilangry, and who stated themselves to
be tobacconists, were charged with hiving stolen, along
. with other persons, 3,500 dollars of the kingdom of
Prussia, being about 5001 sterling, the property of
Madame Auguste Hirschfield, It appears that the pri-
soners absconded from Berlin some time b tck, taking
with them the money in question. They were re-
Mantled.
A NEW MOVEMENT AT THE BAR.—A body of gen-
tlemen at the Bar have determined to commence, on
Monday next, a regular attendance at the Westminster
County Court, and for the convenience of robing, holding
consultations, and having a library on the spot, have
secured a set of chambers in St. Martin's-court, in the
immediate proximity of the Court. house. They intend
to hold themselves at liberty upon prcper occasions to
exercise their common-law right of direct communication
with the client. It is their intention in cases under 201.,
where no great difficulty is likely to arise, or much time
to be consumed, to act in common with the special
pleaders at the Bar, and to mark half.a-guinea on their
briefs, if they get any.
STRANGE STATEMENT.—The maistrates at Gorey,
In the county Wexford, held an investigation of a re-
markable character indeed. A constable on the estate
etlllr. Forster, an English merchant, charged Colonel
!wen, the agent to that gentleman, with offering him
/to assassinate the former agent. The Colonel in-
dignantly denied the execrable eharge, and the constable
committed for perjury. He firmly adheres to his
statement.
