evening, at the Literary Institution, Leicester-square, of
the " Italian patriots" who are at present residing
London, for the purpose of expressing opinions con.
dt mnatory of the tenets and practices of the Roman
Church, and of calling on their countrymen to embrace
the .Protestant faith. Signor Vignati occupied the;chairt
and the meeting was addressed by Signors Mapei, Tor
sett, Bucalossi Lusanna, and Father Gavazzi. The to'
lowing resolution was finally agreed to:—" That title
meeting, condemning as tyrannical, infamous, anti anti',
evang, Heal the impious acts of Pius IX., invites all
Italian patriots to follow the true religion of Jesus,,
Christ, that of our ancestors, throwing aside the Par°
Church, which is a snare and conspiracy against till
liberties of nations." The greatest unanimity prevails'
among the tnalmity of the meeting, but a few persons
who expressed their dissent fron the opinions of the,
speakers were met with loud cries of disapprobation, and
one of them, who had succeeded in obtaining a hearing.
was conducted to the door at the conclusion of his speech
by two of his audience, and ignominiously kicked frocit
the room.

THE LATE DEATHS or A HUSBAND AND WIT.S.'"'
Yesterday, Mr. William Carter, the Surrey Coroner,
held an inquest at the Artichoke, New-cut, Lambeth, °a
the body of Henry Hopping, aged 49, and Jane. 1111/
wife, aged 48, who were found dead in bed, at their
lodgings, No. 35, Lower Marsh, the particulars of which
have already appeared in this journal. Mr. John Sewell'
surgeon, of No. 9. Lower Marsh, said that he found
nothing to lead him to suppose that they had caused
their own deaths. He had since opened both bodies, and
was satiatied that the deceased had died from Asiatic
cholera. Verdict—" Deaths trona Asiatic cholera."
How small a number are there of the comparative',
few favoured by capricious fortune, who do not, with sh
obstinate ingratitude for the benefits bestowed upon
them, throw life's best and dearest treasures in a vats
and often fruitless chase after blessings often existing 01
imagination! Even when tangible and attained, thl
serve only to show their inefficiency for happiness; am"
as if in revenge for this, we often observe but small per ,
sessors of the world's best treasures enjoying a content
and happiness beyond all price, vainly grasped at bi,
fortune's most brilliant favourites.—Eliza Cook's Journah
GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND..—We are glad to .
learn that the probability of this important line• of rail'
way being speedily commenced grows every dsi
stronger. For some time past a number of engineers
have been busily engaged in making a survey of the a-
tered route of the hoe, by the pass of Sourden, and along

[ADYERTISEMENT.]—An established Fact that
Holloway's Pills are a Certain Cure for Dropsy. —Mrs. Jane
Thomas, housekeeper to a nobleman, residing in the West-ens,
had been predisposed for years to this insidious disease, and al'
though she had received the best advice from the most skilful
of the faculty, yet all their efforts proved fruitless in checking
its baneful effects on her constitution, which appeared to be'
rapicly declining. In this hopeless state she commenced talc :,
ing Holloway's Pills, arid, to the utter astonishment of herseli
and all the family, this wonderful medicine has effected a per'
feet. cure. Females at the meridian of life should always hale
recourse to these invaluable Pills. Sold by Druggists and P
