The Giornale di Roma Fives an account of the
Pope's visit to the excavatiols now in progres by his
orders along the Via Appia. These excavations have
now reached some ancient btrial places of the Primi-
tive Christians, near the fa.m of Torre Marancia,
where, it is said, Saints Nereus, Achilleus, and Do-
mitilla are buried. Here a wide staircase of the 4th
century has been laid oper, leading to the crypts
below, which are to be completely repaired by M.
Fontana, the architect. The Pope descended the
staircase, and followed a long corridor giving ac-
cess to a crypt where there still are some ancient
paintings. In another crypt, of the time of the early
pontiffs, there are still some vestiges of beautiful fres-
coes, designed by the celebrated Antonio Rosi. There
are several subterranean churches, or rather chapels,
on this spot, some of which had been seen by I3cAio,
but had since become inaccessible ; they are now
cleared, and contain several large paintings, besides
many inscriptions, by the first Christians, and some
Pagan bas-reliefs, which have been used by the former
to cover up their tombs. His Holiness particularly
remarked a copper plite, on which is an inscription
concerning a donation mode to Mark Antony, the
triumvir; a highly interesting document. The ,Pope
afterwards visited the Cemetery of Calixtus, the stair-
case of which has been repaired, and now leads to a
sepulchral crypt, containing paintings and inscriptions
showing that St. Comfit's, Pope and Martyr, had
been buried there.

EGYP.
The last accounts from Alexandria, of the 18th,
state that Mr. MURRAY, the English consul, who re-
cently lost his wife, had left for England to sqtle
some family affairs. M. DE IlunEa, Baron DE PONS,
and M. Es FORE., the Austrian, Russian, and Prus-
sian Consuls. General, had arrived at Alexandria from
Cairo. M. LVIVOYNE, the French Consul-General,
was daily expected.
it appears that the expense of the establishment of
the railway from Alexandria to Cairo will only cost
4,500,000 f., and that the works will be completed
in three years. As this money is only required to be
furnished as the works proceed, it will cause no em-
barrassment to the finances of the country.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

(BY SUBMAEINE TELEGRAPH.)
PARIS, FRIDAY, SEVEN A.M.

The Patric announces that a plot against the State
has been discovered in Paris. Thirteen individuals
had been arrested is a detached house in the Rue
Heine Blanche.

The conjures, who are in correspondence with the
London refugees, wen busy making an infernal ma-
chine. Many other arrests took place during the
night.—Morning Chronicle.
In the second editim of the Times we find the fol-
lowing from the Psrisian correspondent of that
journal, dated Paris, Thursday, five r.ar.:—
" I have just been informed that an important dis-
covery was made this morning in a house at the
Batignolles. This discovery was nothing less than a
machine formed on the model of Fieachi's murderous
engine. It is describel as composed of 14 barrels,
each from three to four feet long, made of cast iron,
and capable of containing each about twenty musket
bullets. The ends of hese barrels are said to be so
skilfully stopped as, ac:ording to the armourer who
examined them, to renter their firing in a wrong di-
rection utterly impossib e.
" It is said that the vsit of the police took place at
six o'clock this morning when they found 14 men in
the house, and some of hem actually at work at the
machine, which was ve.y nearly completed. They
were arrested, and, afbr some examination, taken
to the Prefecture, wh;re they arrived at a little
before nine o'clock. in consequence of further in-
formation 10 men more have been since taken into
custody ; these last were not in the house when first
visited by the police; hey were arrested in their
respective domiciles. .:he details of the affair are
not yet known with an( degree of certainty. Ru-
mours of a conflicting ruture are in circulation as to
the political character of the parties engaged in this
affair. Probably they aught not to be comprised

in any."

SUNDERLAND ELECTI)N.—In the list of candidates
or the several constituences copied from the Daily News
nto The Sun of Tuesday, Ir. Digby Seymour is stated to
be a Derbyite, or supporter of the present Ministry. Had
the subject come under ow notice at the time, we would
have corrected the misuke, being well aware that
the Honourable and Leaned Gentleman is a stauneh
and uncompromising Free-trader and Liberal, and
that from the moment his pretensions to repre-
sent the town with which I“ has become closely connected
were brought forward, he neter for a moment permitted his
opinions on these points to main in doubt or uncertainty.
It is only right to add that the express and un-
compromising assertion of his sentiments was deli-
vered before the practical recantation of Protection
by the Ministry. So far as Sunderland is con-
cerned, where the lion. Gentteman is so well known, this
correction may be unnecessar:, but it is right that the real
sentiments of candidates shottd be known throughout the
entire country. We are happy to hear that Mr. Seymour's
election is a matter of certaint:.

The Shoriffs have proclaxned the City Election for
Tsuay next, at ten o'clock.
