• SMITHFIELD CRUELTIES.--A drover was charged
before the magistrates at on Saturday last,
with cruelly-ill-treating an ox, by driving is through the
streets of London with one of its hoofs off. Frederick
White, police-constable, deposed that on Monday morn-
ing last he saw the defendant in Smithfield goading an
ox to get it along the street; the poor animal was suf-
fering such torture it could hardly move along, its feet
were in a diseased state and bleeding; one foot had lost
a hoof. Its tortures appeared so great that he had it
killed on the spot to relieve it from its miseries. The
defendant said, he had brought the beast from Mile-end;
its feet were in a very bad state when he took charge of
it, its claw full off at Whitechapel Chuicb; he had had
great difficulty in getting it along, and had done no more
than was necessary. The prisoner's master said that
great numbers of the cattle were afflicted with the
disease in their feet, and were being sent to market on
that account. An officer said, he had seen them driven
with both hoofs off. Fined 10s. and costs, which was
immediately paid.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 14.
The Lathe CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
AFFAIRS OF ROME.
Lord BEAUMONT, in rising to put the questions of
which he had given notice with regard to the intervention
of the French, the Austrians, and the Neapolitans in the
affairs of Rome, besought their Lordships to keep silence
in order that, as he suffered from severe hoarseness, he
might be heard. On the accession of the Supreme
Pontiff, misgovernment had brought Rome to the verge of
rebellion. During the reign of Gregory XVI. hundreds
had been executed, and the prisons were filled to over-
flowing. On the accession of Pius IX., it was deter-
mined to reform the institutions, in order to
prevent an outbreak; but to such a height had
abuses grown that it was seen that the attempt
must lead to the separation of the temporal from the
spirioial power, but it was made in a mariner which in-
sured its failure. It was attempted to govern the country
with the advice of secular councillors without sacerdotal
supremacy. These secular councillors were deprived of
the initiative in legislation. At this time revolutions took
place in the other states of Italy, and the Roman people
claimed for themselves those liberties which had been
conceded to the people of the other Italian states. To
the granting of these concessions the whole body of the
Cardinals was opposed ; for they believed that no
concession could be made to the people without a con-
cession of all. The Pope would not allow a secular
education to be given to the people. (The reasons were
given by Lord Beaumont, but as we did not hear them,
we leave all conjecture as to, the nature of those reasons
to the imagination of others.) When we were again
able to hear his Lordship, ho was contending that the
circumstances which ho had detailed clearly proved that
all that Pius IX. had granted to the people was given
I against his will, and against the advice of the cardinals,
and with a certainty and conviction on his part and
theirs that it a ould lead to the consequences which bad
happened, and which many of them foresaw; and also
with the reservation (he was not speaking of any reli-
gious mental reservation), that whenever a fitting oppor-
tunity occurred every step which they had taken in ad-
vance should be retraced, that the supremacy of the
clergy in the Roman state should be maintained in all
its original vigour, and that the laity should be deprived
of and remain without any of the privileges which had
been conceded to, and were enjoyed by the clergy. Con-
formably to the advice which he had received from
foreign Courts, the- present Pope called to the head of
his councils, not a man who deserved his confidence from
his knowledge of the constitutional course recommended
by civil liberty well understood, but a man who had
been exiled from Rome, who had been branded as a
rebel, who had been excommunicated as a churchman,
who bad abandoned the Catholic religion and professed
another, who had forsaken his own country and had be-
come the inhabitant and citizen of another country, and
who had been employed as the ambassador of that
country to that which it considered a foreign state. That
person, with such qualifications, bad been recommended
to the Pope as his Meister by a foreign state; but his
advice soon appeared to be as unwelcome to the Pope
and as adverse to his views as it was as unwelcome to
the Cardinals and adverse to their views. His first
attempt wat to retrieve the finances of his country, and
he saw no other mode of accomplishing that object than
by mortgaging the estates of the Church; and, with
that view, he was proceeding to enter the Capitol,
when he fell by the hands of an assassin, and thus
brought unmerited disgrace on those who were
opposed to him as Minister. He (Lord Beaumont)
deplored the death of M. Rossi, and deplored it deeply.
It was an event which stood by itself—it was completely
isolated; and though he must admit that some joy was
expressed in Rome at this monstrous crime (and he ad-
mitted that all who expressed that joy must be consi-
dered as participators in that monstrous crime)—yet he
had evidence to convince the most incredulous of their
Lordships that not one of the men who afterwards suc-
ceeded to power evinced any joy at that atrocity. On
the contrary, they lamented it deeply—not only for the
sake of M. Rossi himself, with whom they were in
habits of intimacy, but also because they se s that it was
an event which would delay the success of that cause in
which they were embarked. The moment that M. Rossi
felt the cardinals endeavoured to retrace their steps and
to regain the privileges which they had been obliged to
abandon, a plan was drawn up and agreed upon which had
no other object, but fortunately it was discovered in time.
The people rose in indignation. They did not wish to drive
the Pope from his throne—they went to the steps of the
Vatican and implored him to stay in Rome, asserting
that if he would, they would sacrifice their lives rather
than a hair of his head should be injured; but they
asked him at the same time to send away the foreign
forces on which he relied; they insisted that he should
disband the Swiss regiments, and that he should renew
the oath to stand by the constitutional form of govern.
meat which then existed. The Supreme Pontiff dc-
clined to do this; for that form of government allowed
