The agitation produced in Rome by the publication
of the mockery of an amnesty has been somewhat
mi:igated by an assurance that it is the intention of
the POPE to publish a list of 300 names of persons,
who, b,ing excluded from the benefit of the amnesty,
will only have, in order to obtain their pardon, to
address a simple letter to the Minister of the Inte-
rior, pledging themselves' on their honour not to
again mix themselves up in political questions.
M. DE CORCELLES arrived in Rome on the 21st.

Tbe Chamber of Deputies at Turin passed the
financial project of the Minister in the sitting of
the 26th.

Intelligence was received at Genoa on the 24th,
that the English fleet at Malta had received orders to
sail to the Dardanelles.

INCENDIARISM.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
BRIDPORT, DORSET.—Friday last, S, pt. 23, was the
thy appointed in this town for general humiliation and
prayer, in consequence of the present visitation of cho-
lera. Numerous congregations were assembled at the
various places of worship in the morning and evening.
The Rev. T. Wallace was proceeding with his discourse
in the evening, to a numerous congregation, wh,•n be was
compelled to desist from a sudden and general movement
and rising among his audience. He requested them to
preserve their presence of mid and remain seated, or
alarming accidents might occur. Several persons rushed
into the chapel and cried nut "Fire! fire!—there is a fire
just opposite the chap. I—save yourselves!" The rush
to the doors was then general, but fortunately, beyond
the terror occasioned, nothing serious happened.
In a few minutia the atmosphere was illuminated with
the outbursting of a sheet of flame from an ex,ended
range of buildings immediately opposite the chapel, and,
being thatched, they burned with great rapidity and fury.
It was with difficulty that Mr. Wallace and his con-
gregation could get out of their place of worship. In
half an hour the conflagration was tremendous. The
wind blowing from the south saved the It )yal Oak Inn
and stables, but several houses and an extensive range
of premises were destroyed.
An alarm of fire was given at Bridport Church during
the sermon of the Rev. Mr. Templar, and the rush was
instant and most serious; no lives were lost, but the
terror was indescribable.

The fire was, no doubt, the act of some miscreant,whe
took advantage of the people being at their respective
places of worship to perpetrate his heartless villany.
The same premises were attempted to be set on fire at 11
o'clock at night, about three weeks ago, but through the
ser7 ants' bed-room at the Royal aik being full of smoke
the diasolical attempt was frustrated.
A rigid inquiry sti.l be at once instituted, and it
is sincerdy hoped that the culprit will be detected and
brought to justice. _

A young man fell, during the fire, from a wall, an
ustained much internal injury.
