TIM PoPE.—A private letter from Rome, under
date April 7, says :—" Reports are continually given of the
illness of the Pope. He was, however, out in his carriage
on Saturday, and yesterday took part in the service at the
Sistine Chapel. The city is becoming very full on account
of the approaching Holy Week."

The sulject of iron armour for ships and the best

Captain Dabry: who accompanied the French

able collec, ion of alimentary, industrial, and medicinal
plants, which he has presented to the Society of Acclima-
tization, making an announcement of the gift in a letter
dated the 21st March, which the President of the Society,
M. Drouyn de Lhuys, read at its last meeting. Those
plants have been confided to botanists and skilful horticul-
turists, charged to examine their nature and aid in their
acclimatization.

THEATRICAL MARRIAGE.—On Wednesday last
Mr. George Benjamin Gastin, professionally known as

PI7GILISM.—NOLAN AND THOMAS.—The match
between these men, they having. it will be:recollected, con-
tended a fortnight back for £4OO, has been definitely settled.
The backers of Thomas asserted they could prove the
friends of Nolan sent for the polim ; they have, however,
sailed in doing this, therefore the stakeholder had no other
alternative than to order the rien to meet again on some
future occasion. All bets made on the event are therefore
off, and must be returned to each party.

A Turin letter of the 15th says—We had here a
very early spring in Mar.l, and warm weather, almost
summer like, in the early days of this month, but the
atmosphere cooled lately in consequence of long-continued
rains, and we had yesterday a very sharp and heavy fall of
snow, a very unusual phenomenon in North Italy at this
time of the year. All the fruit trees were already in
blossom, and the forest trees were mantled with green.
This morning was fin) and bright, but wintry cold before
sunrise."

The Press of Vienna of the 15th says :—" A
meeting was held at tbe Post-office yesterday to count and
examine the letters which had been stolen by a man named
and whici were found at his residence. The
Number is much peater than was at first supposed. There
have been conveyed to the Post-office five sacks, four feet
long by three feet wide, completely filled with them. Up
to yesterday evening 50,890 had been counted, and those
which were examined during the day have been to-day dis-
tributed. The letters which had ben opened have an
official seal affixed tc them. Some are dated two and three
years back."
