Intelligence has been received from Rome to the
Bth instant.

General OUDINOT has received the following auto-
graph letter from the POPE :
" M. nsieur le General,— The well-known valour of
the French arms, supported by the justice of the cause
which they defend, has leaped the fruit due to such
arms—victory. Accept, Monsieur le General, my congra-
tulations for the principal part which is due to you in this
event—congratulations not for the blood which has been
shed, for that my heart abhors, but for the triumph of
order over anarchy, for liberty restored to honest and
Christian persons, for whom it will not henceforth be a
crime to enjoy the property which God has divided
among them, and to worship with religious pomp, with-
out incurring the danger of loss of life or liberty. With
regard to the grave difficulties which may hereafter
occur, I rely on the Divine protection. I think it will
not be without use to the French army to be made ac-
quainted with the history of the events which occurred
during my Pontificate; they are traced out in my allo
cu'iott, with which you are doubtless acquainted, but of
which I, nevertheless, send you a certain number of co-
pies, in order that they may be read by those whom
you may think it useful that they should be acquainted
with them. This document will sufficiently prove that
the triumph of the French army has been gained over by
the enemies of human society, end will of itself awaken
sentiments in the minds of every right-thinking man in
Europe, and in the whole world. Colonel Neil, who.
with your honoured dispatch, pre-sentid to me the keys
of one of the gates of Rowe, will hand you this letter.
It is with much satisfaction I avail myselt of this oppur
tunity to express to you my sentiments or paternal at-
f and the assurance that I continually offer up my
prayers to the Almighty for you, for the French army,
for the Government, and for all Franco.

" Receive the Apoatulio benediction which I gire you
from my heart.

(Signed)
"Gaeta, July 5."
OUDINOT has fixed his head-quarters in the Palace
Rospigliosi, where, it appears, he is constantly visited
by M. L'iIBBE DE FALLOUK, aed other notorious
Jesuits The old political sbirri of GREGORY XVI.,
are also in constant communication with the authori•
ties. On the 7th, the Roman Municipality pub•
fished a notice, signed as usual by the senator and
conservators, stating that, as General OUDINOT an-
nounced his intention to act in unison with them, they
think it due to themselves to state that they are en-
tire strangers to his measures. They at the same
time announce to the Roman people that it is their
intention to remain at their post in these disastrous
times in order to protect them, and uphold their rights
as far as in their power.
GARIBALDI is scouring with his followers the ter-
ritories of Tivoli and Palestrina. The first division
of the French army is in pursuit of him. The
Romans are in hopes their general will be able to
join the Hungarians.
The Triumvirs remain in Rome, prepared to justify
the measures they took when in power, should the
authorities choose to question them on the subject.
By an order of the French Governor of Rome, all
notes of the late Government, now in circulation, are
to be taken to the office of the Depositeria, on the
oth of July, or within ten days afterwards, to re-
ceive a new stamp.
Considerable uneasiness is excited by the delay oc-
casioned in the conclusion of the peace between Aus-
tria and Sardinia, in consequence of the tricky con-
duct of the Austrian Government, which continues
increasing in its demands, evidently with the inten-
tion of forcing Sardinia again into a war. Austria
increases her demand for indemnity and refuses to
accept the indemnity which she herself first proposed,
and which Sardinia agreed to give. She likewise re-
fuses to permit Sardinia to deal with the Duchies of
Parma and Placentia, except through Austrian inter-
vention, and insists upon the conclusion of a treaty
offensive and defensive and on the cession of great
commercial advantages. In fact, if Sardinia were to
accede to the Austrian demands, Piedmont would
become an Austrian province. The object of
this conduct on the part of Austria is evident. She
desires to goad the King of SARDINIA into resistance,
so as to have an excuse for seizing Alessandria and
the passes of the Alps, in which case France trust, in
self-defence, aid Sardinia; and then RADETZKY
pressed between OUDINOT'S army advancing from
Rome on one side, and the army of the Alps ad-
vancing through Sardinia on the other, will be driven
out of Italy in spite even of Russian assistance.

or arrested. Arrests are made every day, and the
persons arrested are shot without trial, by order of a
Council of War, which conducts its proceedings
with closed doors. A monk, 80 years of
age, found guilty of having in his possession
a broken fragment of a bomb-shell, has been con-
demned to death; but the Archbishop of Palermo
ordered the execution to be suspended, by virtue of
a decree which forbids the infliction of capital punish-
ment on priests, without the consent of the eccle-
siastical authorities. All correspondence is inter-
cepted. All letters are opened and read at the
Post-office, and all are burnt except letters of busi-
ness addressed to foreign merchants. Thus the
three or four thousand exiles are prevented from re-
ceiving any communication from their relatives. All
newspapers are absolutely forbidden ; thus we know
nothing of what is going on at Rome, in Tuscany, or

CRO W N SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.)
.73,11finnin Gross, 28, a miseranle looking man, was
indicted for feloniously and muficiously setting fire to a
stack of wheat, the property of Samuel Newcome, with
nt to it.jure him.

Mr. Redwell conducted the prosecution.
It appear, d shut ,he prosec.a tot a tanner, at Orsett,
in this county, and the tire in question occurred on the
night of the lit of June. The prisoner, according to the
ceidence, was an idle fellow about the psri,h; and it
seemed that shortly before the fire he had applied to the
reliving officer for as'istance, which was refused him.
About ten o'clock on the night in question, the pris,,ner
applied at the station of the county police at Or4ett for
eiit-1, and the- h spec. orou duty t him be had no p, over

by a lad belonging to the neighbourhood. with whom

expressed his intention to have a flare-up among the pro.
st-eutte, wheat stacks. Very soon alter the stack in
question was discovered to be on tire, and before any
ffectual assistance could be rendered, the whole of it
was destroyed, the value of the rick being estimated at
between 300/. and 4001 About tour o'clock in the
morning alter the fire the prisoner was found at a place
five miles from Orsett, and he there met a labourer
named Oliffe, and after they had conversed a little to-
gether the prisoner said that his pretty parish would
not do anything for him; and he was not going to get
into prison tor a little matter, but he had given them a
good warning, and on his being asked for an explana-
tion, he stated that he had fired the prosecutor's wheat
rick. In consequence of these facts pursuit was kerne-
-1 diately made after the prisoner, but on his being taken
into custody he declared that he was innocent of the of-
fence with which he was charged.
The jury, without any hesitetion, returned a verdict of
guilty, and evidence was given that on two previous oc-
casions the prisoner had been convicted of felony.
The LORD CHIEF BARON having made: some observations
upon the wicked and malicious character of the offence
committed by the prisoner, sentenced him to be trans•
ported for fifteen years.
The entry in the Civil Side consists of 19 causes, five
of which are special jury cases. Mr. Baron Alderson
had disposed of nearly the whole of the common jury
cases at the rising of the Court.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 15.
The commission for the county of Lincoln, and also
for the city, were opened on Saturday with the usual
formalities. There are eleven causes, and nineteen pri-
soners. Two of the causes are marked as special juries.
Among the crimes charged against the prisoners are—
two for murder, two for manslaughter ; violation, two ;
burglary, two; bigamy, one, &c.
(Before Mr Justice COLERIDGE.)
John Ward, aged 27, was charged with the wilful
murder of his mother, Martha %Yard.

Mr. Adams prosecuted; Mr. Wilmore defended.
The facts of the case, as they appeared in evidence,
were shoray these:—

The prisoner lived with his father and mother, at
Thorpe, in this county. A girl of the name of Sum
Bogg, a servant in the employ of the prisoner's father and
mother, had attracted the attention of young Ward, and
on the 9th of April be had taken improper liberties with
her. She had thereupon complained to her mistress, who
threatened if such conduct was repeated to turn him out
of the farmyard. The prisoner took down a gun, baying
that he would shoot himself or amnebody else that day.
The mother said, •• Pshr.w." The servant saw him sub-
s! quently load the gun with sLot. Between two and
three the servant dined with the mother in the kitchen,
the prisoner joining them. He came in with the gun,
went out, returned again, and pointed the gun at his
mother. The servant heard a report, and saw the
mother shot. The mother was sitting with her
head in her left hand, dozing, n'ter dinner. The girl
exclaimed, " Oh dear, John, whatever have you done ?
You have shot our mother." To which he repl;i'd, "If
you d nut mind I will serve you the same." He then
pulled the girl en his knee, and keit her there some
time. she, in order to escape , had recourse to a strata.
vein, telling him they had bc tree run away together.
He s ,id he bad no money. She repli-d, she had suffi-
cient, and persuaded him to go up stairs and dress (he
having his coat off), and to put on his best hat. During
his alyence she ran to a ne'gbour's house, named Mar-
shall, being in a very excited state, and throwing herself
upon a bed exclaimed, " Our John has shot his mother,
and is cowing to murder me." Marshall went out and
met Ward coming. Marshall said, " John, you have
shot your inother." He rapho4-1. ** Yes, I have." Mar-
shall then said, "Is sbe dead?" He said, " Ay, she's
dead enough. The witness Marshall said he appeared
cool and collected, and to know well enough what be
was about. The prisoner subsequently cut his throat;
but the wound was slight, and he soon recovered.
Mr. WILMoRE mainly rested his defence on the ground
of accident, and argued on the gross improbability of
supposing he could commit so tool a crime on such appa-
rently slight grounds.
The Learned JUDGE having carefully summed up the
case,

The Jury, after a few minute's deliberation, returned
a verdict of Guilty.

The Learned JUDGE, in a very impressive address,
passed upon the prisoner the sentence of death.
He appeared completely unmoved, and left the dock
with a half smile on his countenance.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--York, July 16.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr- Justice WiouTma.N.)
Benjamin Stott and Alm Wilson were indicted for a
highway robbery, with violence, at Warley, in the West
Riding, on Joseph Tatham, and stealing from him 25
sovereigns and six notes of Si. each.

residing near Halifax, and on the above day had bean
at Wakefield market. lie got to Halifax, on his way
home, at half-past five in the afternoon. Wilson came
into the Nelson Inn and looked at him, and went out
again. The prosecutor left at six o'clock, and when
near home he was met by two men, by whom he was
thrown down and a good deal hurt, and robbed of the
above money. The notes, however, were found on the
spot the following morning.
The Jury acquitted Wilson, and found Stott Guilty,
on which his Lordship sentenced him to be transported
for ten years.
