ITALY

The intelligence from Rome is to the 25th ult.
The people. still continued indignant at the conduct
of the POPE and-the Cardinals, and lost no opportu-
nity of giving *Tent to their feelings. The Austrian
Marshal WimPrrx has taken up his residence at
Bologna, as Governor of the Roman States occupied
by Austria ; neither RADETZRY nor PACHTA will re-
turn to Italy.
The Senate of Turin on the 27th ult. passed the
Bill authorising the payment to Austria of the first
portion of the indemnity.
The President of the Chamber, the Marquis Lo-
RENZO PAEETRO, has proceeded with a deputation to
Genoa, to receive the body of CHARLES ALBERT.

PENINSULAR MAILS-
SOU TIT AMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING, ELEVEN,
A.M. - The Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer Iberia, Captain C. F. Burney, has just
arrived here with the usual Spanish and Portuguese
mails.
Her dates are—Gibraltar, September 26 ; Cadiz,
27; Lisbon, 29; Oporto, no communication; Vigo,
October 1.

She brings eight packages of specie and a large
cargo of grapes, lemons, &c., and 25 passengers.
Our accounts from Lisbon are to the 210th ultimo.
The artisans who had struck for wages had quietly
returned to their- work. The discount on Lisbon
bank notes had declined another six per cent. in con-
sequence of judicious steps taken by the Minister of
Finance to stop the sales of those notes on Govern-
ment account. The discount is now quoted 25 per
cont.
Reports were prevalent that M. Avila, the Finance
Minister, would be forced to retire from the
Cabinet, although the Diario di Govern() declares
that the best unc4rstanding existed between the
members of the Ministry, yet it was maintained by
well:informed persons that such was far from being
the case. The Count de Thomar was absent from
Lisbon at his estatsga. in the country. An Oporto
company had presexiftd proposals for the Lisbon
water contract. Rains had set in very heavily, and
had stopped all further grape packing. On the Lis-
bon Exchange a large amount of bills on London had
appeared, with fewi takers. The quotation was 54
for three months' pver. Portuguese Five per Cents.,
52i to 53i ; Four per Cents, 43 to 44 ; Bank of Por-
tugal shares have declined.
We learn from Gibraltar that a French line of bat-
tle ship and two war steamers had dropped anchor
in Tangiers Bay on the 245th ult.

BATHS AND WASHRouSES IN LAAIDETII.—On
Tuesday evening last a meeting of members of the dif-
ferent parochial boards of this parish was held at the
Vestry-hall, the Rector in the chair, to consider the
propriety of taking steps for the erection of baths and
washhouses for the benefit of the poor inhabitants of the
parish. It was unanimously decided that such an ar-
rangement would be highly beneficial to the parish, and
under the Divine blessing might have the effect of greatly
diminishing the sickness and mortality among the lower
classes, if the parish should ever again be visited by
such a pestilence as during the present year. The
churchwardens were requested to give more than usual
publicity to the notice of the vestry, which, under the
provisions of the 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 74, it would
be necessary to call, it; order to consider the expediency
of taking advantage of that Act for erecting the baths
and washhouses.
