ITALY.

We read in the Contemporaneo of Rome, of the
12th instant, that the Tuscan clubs having sent a
deputation to the Electoral Committee of Rome, for
the purpose of inviting them to induce the Govern-
ment to direct the electors to confer on the deputies
the mandate of making the Roman Constituent As-
sembly form the nucleus of an Italian Constituent
Assembly, the committee have declared that it
belonged only to the absolute sovereignty of the
Assembly to decide that point.
The Speranza of Rome, of the 12th, announces the
return from Gaeta of the Sardinian envoy extraor-
dinary to the POPE. It appears, by letters from
Gaeta, that his mission has not been successful, that
he was received by the POPE only in his private
character, and that the POPE had even threatened him
to recta his Ambassador from Turin, on account of a
suspicion that the Sardinian Cabinet was in relation
with the Roman Government.
The threat of excommunication has produced no
effect in the rural districts, and the people are uni-
versally determined to vote in the election of the
Constituante.

Father VENTURA celebrated Grand Mass on the
12th, in the Sicilian Church in Rome, in commemo-
ration of the victory of the Sicilians and the defeat
of the King of NAPLES at Palermo last year.
At Naples the inhabitants have commenced an
" Anti-cigar and anti-lottery " movement, of a simi-
lar character to that which was so successful last year
at Milan.

It was rumoured in Leghorn that an attempt had
been made to shoot the King of NAPLES. Our direct
accounts from Naples do not mention such an occur-
rence, and there is apparently no foundation for the
rumour.

IRELAND.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—In the Queen's
Bench, this day, on the motion of the Attorney-
General, the argument on the application to admit
Mr. Duffy to bail was postponed to Thursday, in
order to give the Learned Gentleman time to read
over the affidavits put in on behalf of the prisoner.

GOGARTY IN ERROR V. TUE QUEEN.

In this case, in which the prisoner was tried, com-
mitted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation,
for illegally training and drilling under the pro.
vision of the 60th of George 111., cap. 1, he
was this day brought up in custody for the arguments
in support of the assignments in error. It was con-
tended by Messrs. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., and Stretch, that
the indictment was bad as it did not follow the word-
ing of the statute; and for the Crown it was urged
by Messrs. Baldwin, Q.C., and Leigh, that it was
correctly formed.
The Court postponed judgment until Wednesday.

There was a better demand for wheat at the Corn
Exchange to-day, but no alteration in prices of any
article since Friday.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The tragedy of The Stranger was performed here
last evening, with the same cast as at Windsor
Castle on Friday. The Stranger of Mr. Charles
Kean is a most artistic performance, so full of pathos
and feeling, so beautifully eliminating all the good,
and so artfully throwing into the shade all the dis-
gusting points of this most unnatural character, that
we almost feel inclined to sympathise with the
Stranger, and not to treat him with the contempt
with which we have hitherto been inclined to regard
him. Certainly, if any excuse could be afforded for
his maudlin sentimentality, it would be the Mrs.
Haller of Mrs. Charles Kean, which is so full of
tenderness, beauty, and goodness, that it is almost
impossible to believe in her guilt. Those who admire
the German school of sentiment will be delighted
with The Stranger as it is at present performed at the
Haymarket. Never before has this play been so
effectively cast, but for ourselves, we are free to con
fess, that with us The Stranger has never been a
favourite. The farce of Twice Killed followed, so
that the performance of last night at the Haymarket
was the fac-simile of the performance on Thursday at
Windsor Castle. The house was crowded.

SMITHFIELD MARICET.—Mr. J. T. Norris, one of
the leading members of the Corporation, has given
notice of the following motion in the Court of Common
Council. Great interest is excited on its approaching
discussion :—" 'I hat a market for the sale of live cattle
in the midst of a city is incompatible with the conveni-
ence of persons resorting thither for the purposes of
business; that the present market of Smithfield
in situation;
insuf-
ficient in space as well as objectionable situation;
that the safety and health of the inhabitants demand its
immediate removal; and that therefore a special ward
committee be appointed to consider what steps shall be
taken to remedy the existing evils by providing a suitable
market place."
MANCNESTER.—STATE OF TRADE.—The commer-
cial news received from India has stimulated the market
of to-day. Rather higher prices have, been obtained in
yarns and cloth. A brisk business has been done for
the Levant, &c., at the same prices as last week. Im-
provement in the silk trade continues. Figured goods
hare had a large demand, which promises to be still
greater, Many manufacturers are getting new machines,
and taking on new hands. The great improvement in
the India market is said to be the principal cause of the
present bright prospects.
The works of the Paris and Strasburg Railway to

pected to be opened m the spring of this year.
