A letter from Genoa, of the 23d, says :—" A deli-
beration has taken place in the Council of Ministers,
as to whether the declaration of the clergy of Savoy
against marriage should be brought before the tribu-
nals. It was, however, decided that as the law on
civil marriage had not yet received the sanction of
the Senate, or the signature of the KING, it had no
legal character, and that the bishops., as well as any
Other persons, were at liberty to express their opinion
on it. Whilst the clergy of Piedmont and Savoy
declare themselves so warmly against the Govern-
ment, we learn that the Holy See entertains the
best feelings towards Savoy. This paternal

aleposi ion s attributed to the good coun-
sels of France. Count DE RAYNEVAL ap•

sels which have had the desired effect. When the
POPE beard of the law of civil marriage, far . from
being angry at it, he accepted and confirmed the pre•
sentation of Monsignor CHARVAZ to the Arch-
bishopric of Genoa. It is known that he was the tutor
of the eldest son of his Majesty VICTOR EMMANUEL.
While the German journals, and among others the
Augsbury Gazette, say that the French are fortify-
ing themselves in the Pontifical States, and covering
with their
guns- the coasts of the Tyrrhenean Sea, it
is elsewhere said that they will evacuate them in the
beginning of 1853. In accord with Austria, which

the decree respecting the mode of recruiting. It is
no longer indispensable t) be a Catholic to enter the
Roman army."
The Giornale di Roma of the 20th, gives a long
account of the construction of a subterranean electric
telegraph, which has just been opened between Naples
and Gaeta. The wires are covered with gutta percha,
and the writer says it is the longest line ever con-
structed on the same principle.

TUTION.—(TEIIS DAY.)
The fifth annual general meting of the friends and
subscribers to this valuable charity, which was founded
for the purpos3 of giving rad to aged and decayed
members .of the building track, was held this day at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgato•areet,
.for the purpose of
receiving the report of the directors, for the election of
officers, and upon other busims; Thomas Grissell, Esq.,

in their exertions to extend it; benefits. After alluding
to the establishment of a district committee at Brighton,
which he stated was making satisfactory progress, he
coLeluded by callng upon tie secretary to read the

Mated that the society, during the past year, had made
very satisfactory progress, aid that, owing to the in-
creased support received, the directors had been enabled
materially to increase both tbs number of their pen-
sioners and the amount of Three per Cent. Stock. The
total number of pensioners now upon the funds of the
society is 15, viz., 10 men alai 5 women; but there are
still a large number waiting to be elected. The ball held
at Willis's Rooms in aid of the charity had been very
successful, there being an increase of receipts over last
year of 17/. 17s. Bd. Since the last annual meeting a new
bye-law had been passed, extending the benefits of
the institution to the provinces, and very gratifying re-
sults had already sprung from the commencement at
Brighton, where a local committee had been formed.
An alteration had also been made in the rules for the
purpose of allowing unsuccessful candidates to carry
their votes forward until finally successful. The repurt
having announced that S. M. Peto, Esq., UP., had
consented to act as president for the ensuing year, con-
cluded, by calling upon the supporters and well-wishers
of the charity to continue their support, and to use their
endeavours to extend the benefits of the institution.
The balance-sheet showed the total amount received to
have been 1,321/. 51. 4d., and after all the necessary ex-
penses had boon defrayed there was lofc a balance in
band of 21/. 12s. 6d.

The report havin-g been moved was carried mern. con.
A vote of thanks having been passed to the commit-
tee and to Mr. George Bird, the treasurer, a similar
compliment was passed to the chairman, and the meet-
ing separated.
