STATE OF TRADE IN VENICE.—The following is
an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's to-day from
their agent, dated Venice, 29th August:—" We regret
to have to announce to you a notification of his Excel-
lency General Gargkowsky the present civil and mili-
tary Governor at Venice, of the date of the 27th instant,
Three months are allowed for the sale of the merchan-
dise actually existing in the free port, a declaration of
which must be made within ten days. At the expiration
of the three months all goods remaining unsold, liable
to duty, must be deposited in the custom-house, or duty
must be paid on them. We hope the petitions which
will be presented to the Emperor for a renewal of the
fi ancbisement, will prevent a measure so calamitous to
the city, as well as injurious to British commerce, from
being carried into effect."
OUTRAGE ON A CONTENT.-011 Saturday night last
a most disgraceful outrage was perpetrated on the con-
vent situated in the west suburbs of Clonmel. At
midnight the inhabitants were alarmed by the loud
pealing of tho bell attached to the chapel. On the
people in the vicinity assembling, it was discovered
that some ruffians had succeeded its cutting out a
window sash, and were sawing through the inside
shutter, when one cf the sisterhood became alarmed at
the noise. The burglars did not quit their work until the
numbers which nDw approached the scene of their infa-
mous labours became formidable. They then retreated
into an adjoining nursery, and their whereabouts have
not since been heard of. That such an outrage as this
should escape the lynx eyes of the local magistrates,
esp2cially of the worthy stipendiary of that district,
whose vigilance is well known in high quarters, would
indeed be marvellous. If the perpetrators of this
piece of wanton cruelty upon unoffending women,
upon a sisterhood remarkable oven amongst the pious
communities of Ireland, for their useful and holy
labours, had been of the labouring classes, their
detection would be instantaneous. If they be rich
ruffians, shall they escape? If they be from amongst
the iprivileged sneems and maligners of Ireland, her
priests, and people, shalljthat be their indemnity? We
sincerely trust that the matter shall be strictly investi-
gated, and the offenders, whoever they are, promptly
brought to justice.— Cork ,Examiner.
