The Giornale di Roma of the 3d has an article on
Mr. Murray's affair. It begins by stating that Rome
possesses a Penal Code and a code of procedure,
and that these, and not the t
caprice of he judge,
determine the rules for discovoring the truth. It
further recites, that Edward Murray, a native of Ce-
phalonia, was brought over to Italy by his father,
followed the profession of a banker, and married Ursula
Gabrieli, a native of Loretto. In 1848 and 1849
he was named police inspector at Ancona, during
which time the greatest disorder reigned there, and
many murders occurred, in support of which assertion
the writer of the article quotes letters of Sir George
Hamilton, addressed to Lord Palmerston. Some
days after, it is further stated, a British vessel ar-
rived to protect the British Consul, and the Governor
had Murray
: assassins arrested, amongst whom was

to the first assertion, it is not generally known that
Murray's case comprises eighteen counts of accusation
for the most serious offences, and that forty individuals
are implicated in it. As to the second, we repel it with
indignation, because our magistrates aro models of im-
partiality. The case has been regularly judged by a
competent tribunal, and we have only now to learn the
tenor of the sentence."

MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.
The House of Commons has at length taken mea-
sures for the protection df its Members, the vindication
of its dignity, and the good order of its proceedings.
Mr. F. O'Connor is now in the custody of the Sergeant-
at-Arms. Our Parliamentary report contains the few and
brief speeches made on this painful occasion, and to this
report it is only necessary to add that just at the mo-
ment when the motion for his committal was being made
Mr. O'Connor stood at the Speaker's left hand, and was
addressing that gentleman in a manner which, under
any circumstances, must have been a breach of order.
So soon, however, as Mr. O'Connor became aware of
the exact nature of the proposition which was about to
be carried, he walked out of the House, ob-
tained a glass of brandy at the bar in the lobby,
which he instantly drank, and proceeded down
the Members' private passage into Westminster-hall,
whither ho was followed by a few gentlemen, some of
whom were magistrates, known to the police. The con-
stables on duty, therefore, acting upon the information
which they then received, told Mr. O'Connor that his
presence would soon be required in the House, and that
he must not quit the Hall; on receiving this intimation
he began to howl so loudly and vehemently that a con-
siderable crowd soon assembled. At this spot Mr.
O'Connor remained for a few minutes, in the course of
which the Speaker's warrant for his commital was made
out. Armed with this authority Mr. Clementson, the
Deputy-Sergeant, accompanied by several officers of
the House, proceeded to Westminster-hall, took Mr.
O'Connor into custody, and removed him without any
resistance to the rooms ee Mr. Gosset, the
Ai
assistant-sergeant. In a little time those cham-
bers became filled with
—embers, anxious to learn the
particulars of the arrest. Their presence seemed vio-
lently to excite Mr. O'Connor
villains, murderers; at times shouting furiously, at others
groaning most heavily, and occasionally giving expres-
sion to his feelings
the tones of
triumph and rejoicing.
After a feels
the the gentlemen
who had crowded into
Mr. Gosset's apartment were induced to withdraw, and
Mr. O'Connor was left in the care of five officers. But
in less than an hour from that time, when Mr. O'Connor
. who called them ruffians,
had been somewhat calmed, he was removed to the pri-
son-rooms in the upper story of
