The Monitore Toscano quotes a letter from Rome,
stating that on the 19:b ult. the police discovered
fifteen explosive shells, capable of containing a pound
of gunpowder each, and three daggers, in the house
of a person named Lutaz JACOPINI. The daggers bad
evidently been buried somewhere, for they were rusty
and bad particles of fresh earth sticking to them.
The shells were intended to be thrown that very even-
ing in the Corso at several persons, said to be ob-
noxious to the Republican party, among whom was
Colonel NARDONI. Two persons, of the name of
Bizzaltat and TAzr, have been arrested as accom-
plices. This JACCPINI was implicated in the affair of
the cannon

ROY AL MARIONETTE THEATRE.
A new comedietta, by Hugo Vamp, was brought
out at this attractive little theatre last night, under
the title of Poll-Practice ; or, the Secrets of
Suffrage. Electioneering tricks form the plot of
the piece, current political events supply its jokes,
and "no bribery" the moral. It is founded on the
tergiversations of a political barber, who makes his
principles subservient to his interests, and sells his
vote to the highest bidder, and the loves of his ap.
Prentice and his daughter. Of course good use is
made of the obvious jokes to be obtained
from w(b)igs and polls. The piece, how.
ever, is, on the whole, smartly written, and
contains some clever hits at passing events.
At the same time the little squib, being more com-
plicated in action than those which have preceded it,
managed. The
exhibition has
shows new capabilities in the puppets, the characters
engaged in by-play at the back, while the rest are
engaged
mechanicalin front,perfection, be i ng most
tost
which cleverlyt
arrived is great indeed. No West country farmer
could step with more firmness and portly solemnity
than the stout puppet dressed to represent John Bull.
We need scarcely say that it was exceedingly well
performed, the actors being perfect in their parts,
which can seldom be said of s first performance at
other houses; and its announcement for repetition
was received with unanimous applause by a full
audience—the soi•disant author of the establishment,
Mr. Hugo Vamp, making his bow of acknowledg-
ment.

and other lives being preserved, is still at the Mayor of
Southampton's residence at Winchester, where she has round
a hospitable asylum. She has been treated with the utmost
kindness also by the nobility, gentry, and clergy of the
neighbourhood of Winchester. She is occasionally afflicted
