ITALY.

His Holiness Pope Pius IX. was received by the
Neapolitans with acclamations and all military honours,
the vessels and forts firing royal salutes, the flags
flying, the bells ringing. At night, on the 4th, there
was a general illumination and a discharge of fireworks.
"Without stopping at Naples, the ships bearing the
Holy Father and his august attendants passed on,
amidst salvos of artillery, to Portici.
In the Milan Gazette of the 6th inst. is announced
the sudden death, on that very morning, of the vene-
rable chief priest of the metropolitan church of that
city, the Count OPIZZONI. He died as he was pro-
ceeding in his vestments to the altar of the B. V.,
where he was about to say mass. Count OrprzoNi
was one of the most distinguished among the ecclesi
astics of Lombardy.
The following details respecting the arrival of the
Sovereign PONTIFF in the Bay of Naples on the 4th
inst. will be found interesting; they are extracted
from a private letter:--
" The Pope arrived here this afternoon at four o'clock.
The squadron which accompanied him was composed o;
a Neapolitan frigate, on board of which was his Holi-
ness, a Spanish frigate bearing an Admiral's flag, am
the Vauban French steamer. These vessels were fol-
lowed by other Neapolitan steam frigates and a secont.
Spanish frigate. These vessels, on entering the gull.
atter having rounded Cape Mesins, did not immediate!)
steer for Portici ; but they went round the bay and the
quays of the city, as far as the entrance of the port for
merchant vessels, doubtless for the purpose of allowing
his Holiness to enjoy the magnificent coup d'ceil of thc
city. During the 'whole evening the roads re echoer
with the salutes fired from the vessels, and the firework:
let off on the shore by the people, who never miss at
opportunity, were it even the fete of the humblest Ma
done, to fire off rockets and illuminate their houses
' from top to bottom. The French ships Ariel and Tan-
credo were dressed out with flags."
It is expected that the Legislative Chambers of
Tuscany will be re-opened in November.
Accounts from Rome of the sth mention a decided
difference of opinion to have arisen between the three
Cardinal Commissioners. ArszEna and DELLA
GENGA are opposed in policy to VANNICELLI. DELLA
GENGA threatens to retire to Albano. The result o,
this difference is expected to be the nomination of a
single Pontifical Commissioner (ALTIEEI or Mks-
sazio)' assisted by two councillors, Coitsom Bussi
and Morticuurz. France has declared herself in
favour of the Statute; Austria for the Statute with-
out secularisation ; and Spain and Naples for the
Governmental Council.

Before his departure from Gaeta, the scene of ro
many months exile, the Supreme PONTIFF revived in
all its pomp one of the most ancient ceremonies of tin
Catholic Church—the presentation of the golden rose,
the Rosa d'Oro.

The Latin oration, with which the Holy FATEIEB
handed this superb jewel to the Queen tf NAPLES,
was as follows :

"Accipe rosam de manibus nostris, quam, Fz speciali
commissione in Christo Patric et Dmnini nost‘i Pii
Divina providentia Papa Noni nobis facia, tibi tradimus,
per quam designatur gaudium utriusque therusaletn,
beilicet triumphsntis et miiitantis Ecciesim, per quam
omnibus Christi fidelibus manifestatur flos ille apeciosis-
simus, qui est gaudium et corona Sanctorum °rani=
" Suscipiat Majestas tua, quas secundum seculum
nobilis, potens et multa virtute prredua es, ut
multa virtute a Christo Domino nobilitesis, tamquam
rosa plantata super rivos aquarum multarum, quam
gratiam ex sus infinita clementia tibi concedere dignetur,
qui est Trinus et trnus in secula seculorum. Amen."
In the course of the day the POPE gave a parting
benediction, as well as substantial marks of his bounty

to the garrison of the Castle and the population of
Gaeta, and of Mola du Gaeta; and he received for the
last time, the KING, QUEEN, and royal children, to
whom he poured out all the effutdons of a grateful
heart for the conolation they had afforded him during
so long a separation from his own people.
no Novo left, Gaeta at eight o'clock in the morn-
ing, on board the KING'S steam-yacht the Tancrede,
under a salute of 120 guns from the Castle, and
amidst the most enthusiastic acclamations of the
multitude.

Near Posilipo the squadron was saluted with 21
guns by her Britannic MAJESTY'S ship the Prince
Regent. The royal salute had a splendid effect, and
as the enthusiasm of the people was excited, their
cheers were heard in the intervals of the firing, or
rose above the roar of the artillery.
Skirting the bay, the people presented themselves
in crowds, full of delight and gaiety, waving hand-
kerchiefs and cheering, so that the Supreme PONTIFF
must have been convinced that here at least he has the
vast multitude on his side. The effect of the whole
spectacle is said to have been " truly glorious."
The POPE said mass on the 6th instant in the
Cathedral of Naples, and all the nobility and people
have flocked to see his HOLINESS, and pay him the
horrvige of their love and respect.
The personal appearance of this celebrated Pontiff
is thus graphically described by one who has seen
him both at Gaeta:and since his arrival at Naples :
" I understand from those who were received by the
Pope in the Palace at Portici that the impression made
on me during the brief opportunity I had of examining
his appearance is correct, and that I need not hesitate
;n saying,that the good old man is much changed during
the three years of his agitated reign. His hair has be-
come nearly gray, and his countenance, though still
retaining ail its saintly placidity, is marked by some lines
of care. In fact, the expression of the face is the exact
reflection of his mind, which, whilst resigned de-
voutly to the dispensation of Providence, cannot
avoid suffering f‘r the sorrows it undergoes,
ar.d the affliction which weighs so heavily
on the people. The common plaster busts of Pio Neno
are excellent likenesses, and thqi 4 who wish to study
the combined expression of unaffected devotion, un-
bounded philanthropy, and saintly philosophy, will find
them there united. Besides those religious qualities for
which the Pope is so justly esteemed, all who have access
to him are loud in praising the courteous and noble bear.
ing with which he receives. He is a gentleman and a
priest, and never was the Roman Catholic Church more
worthily represented than by him. Unless on great oc-
casions, the Pope's costume is particularly simple. A
friend of mine, who saw him yesterday, says he wore a
soutaine, or cassock, of white thick muslin, coming down
to his feet, and concealing all his under dress, a white skull
cap, and slippers of white stuff embroidered in gold."
GARIBALDI has been lodged in prison in Genoa.
His wife is found really to have died from fatigue, in
a state of pregnancy.

THE MURDERS AT LIVERPOOL

EXECUTION OF WILSON.—(THIS DAY.)
(Er ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, ONE P.M.—Calcraft, the
public executioner, has just terminated the existence
of the wretched culprit J. Gleeson Wilson, on the
scaffold at Kirkdale Gaol, in the presence of the
largest concourse of spectators that has probably ever
been collected at Liverpool on a similar occasion.
The miserable man's crimes were of the most
appalling character; their equal in revolting atro-
city, possibly, is not to be found in the annals of such
barbarous acts. By introducing himself into the
d melling of Captain Hinrichson as a traveller, he,
for no other apparent purpose than plunder, succeeded
in savagely murdering Mrs. Ann Hinrichson, her two
sons, Henry George and John Alfred, and the fourth
victim, Mary Parr, the servant, by cutting their
t'iroats, beating in their skulls, and otherwise fright-
fully mutilating them. For these atrocities he was
tried at the last assizes, and left for death by Mr.
Justice Patteson. The public may be aware that
Captain Hinrichson, the deceased's husband, has only
within the last week returned to England from a
voyage to Calcutta. Never has a convict under sen-
tence of death exhibited such an amount of callous-
ness as Wilson, notwithstanding the exhortations
of the Rev. Mr. Duggin, a Roman Catholic minister,
who has been in daily, almost hourly, attendance
upon him. An impression has been entertained that
Captain Hinrichson confronted the culprit in the
course of yesterday, the bereaved captain having
expressed a desire to see him. Such, however, is
not the case; the mate of his ship saw the convict in
the condemned cell on Thursday night, by order of
the authorities, in order to satisfy the public
mind that he was not the carpenter who
had formerly belonged to Captain Hinrich-
son's vessel. Twelve o'clock this day was the
time appointed for carrying the dread sentence
into effect, when there could tot have been
less than from 20,000 to 30,000 persons collected.
A few minutes after twelve Wilson was led forth on
to the drop. He appeared remarkably firm, and
while the preliminaries were being azranged not a
muscle in his frame was seen to move. Scarcely
three minutes elapsed ere the bolt was drawn, and
the wretched man died after a few but severe
struggles. He protested his innocence to the last.

PITTENWEEM.—THE DRAY-S.—The present her-
ring fishing bids fair to be one of the most abundant
that ever was seen in the East of Fife; in fact, its equal
up to the present date was never known, and the fish
continue to be of superior quality. The price has gone
down in some instances ty 4s. and ss. per cran,—Ginagoto
Chronicle.
