Advices have been received from Rome to the 17th.
The time allowed the inhabitants for their evening's
amusements has been extended one hour. They are
now permitted to remain out of their houses until
half after eleven; at that hour two guns are fired
from the Castle of St. Angelo, and the streets are
cleared. All found out of doors after midnight are
arrested.

GARIBALDI was at Orvieto on the 17th, and levied
a tribute of 2,000 crowns on the. inhabi •
tants ; after which he took up a position in
the neighbourhood of Ficule. He is said to
have passed near Chiusi, where some skirmish-
ing took place between his band and some Tuscan
forces, in which the latter were compelled to retreat.
Several Tuscan corps have been dispatched from
Florence, to protect the frontiers against the Roman
bands.

The POPE has not yet left Gaeta, and when he

palace has been prepared for his reception. All public
acts in Rome are now rendered in the name of the
POPE. It is said that Russia has agreed to lend his
Holiness ten millions without interest, the principal
to be repaid at the rate of half a million annually.

COLOURED WOOD ENGRAVINGS.—The art of wood
engraving has of late years made gigantic progress,
and of the many improvements which have of late
been introduced the most important is, perhaps, that of
printing wood engravings
in colours by means of a
common printing machine. This art is now
bought to such perfection that the whole process
of printing in colours
is performed at one
revolution of the machine. An exquisite specimen of
this improved process appears in the historic Times
for the present week. It is a wood cut, representing
a y-ase of flowers in their natural colours, and is 1

printed by one revolution of the machine. It is
one of the most beautiful specimens of coloured wood-
engraving ever published.
