THE AL I'S OF TUEIN.—The weather here has
chopped about from wet to fine during the last week,
pretty much as it does in England. The Alps, as scsn
from the envirens of Turin, are the great lion of the
place, and, alien the sun is out, particularly about the
hour of its setting, their snow-clad ranges, and the bril-
liant colours produced by the play of light and shade
from the sun and clouds, form the most glorious spec-
tacle that ever greeted my eyes.
CHURCH CANONS.—Thu horses in the "apostolic
btlblis" of Rome have been seized for the use of the na-
tional artillery. The horses so employed aro expected
to be more than a match for the Pope's bulls.—Punch.
