ITALY,

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 caprice of the judge,
determine the rules for discovering the truth. It
further recites, that Edward Murray, a native of Ce-
phalonia, was brought over to Italy by bis 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 some assassins arrested, amongst whom was
Murray :

" "Nov, the writer concludes, these facts are forgotten;
people show themselves full of pity, not for the victims
of the system of terror, bat for Murray, who abetted it;
an European Parliament has had its attention called
to the matter, and it has been asserted that the Pontifical
tribunals are slow, and accessible to corruption. As
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 are 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 of 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. Oar 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 ho instantly drank, and proceeded down
the Member' private na
.---ssagc into Westminster-hall,
whither he was followed by a few gentlemen, some of
whom were magistrates, known to the police. The con-
which they then received,
told Mr. O'Connor that his
ten'esdtoeddy, and removed
stables on duty, therefnre
presence would aeon be required in the House, and that
. acting upon the information
he must not quit the .idati
----; 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. Cleznentson, thef
accompanied hy several officers of
the Westminster-hall, .. estminster-Intll, took Mr.
resistance to the rooms
of
Mr.
Gosset, the
OtDh
,eeConnor house,
er:pteroaonce
assistant-sergeant. In a little time those cham-
bers became filled with Members, anxious to learn the
particulars Of the arrest. Te.,
--'4l' presence seemed vio-
lently to exeite Mr. O'Connor, who 'called them ruffians,
villains, murderers; at times shouting furiously, at others
groaning most heavily, and occasionally giving exPres-
sion to his feelings in tones
Of triumph and rejoicing.
After a short time the gentlemen who had crowded into
Mr. Gosset'a apartment were induced to withdraw, and
him without any
Mr. O'Connor was left in the care of five officers, But
in less than an hour from that tirao, when Mr. O'Connor
bed been somewhat calmed, h —6was removed to the pri-
son-rooms iia the upper story of the building towards the
river front; and the whole b were
of these proceedinel

It is usual to supply Ate

with all that he is accustomed ,

enter largely into the articles of his consumption.
