ITALY.

. M. DE RAYNEVAL is said to have obtained some
liberal concessions from the POPE, with which he had
at once started for Rome.

News from Naples to the 4th states that great
preparations were making at Portici for the reception
of the King of NAPLES and the POPE, but up to the
hour of our dispatch being dated the squadron from
Gaeta had not appeared. No doubt, however, existed
of the coming of the illustrious Sovereigns.
From Rome of the same date we learn that a qua-
rantine of seven days had been established at Civita
Vecchia, and great fears were entertained of the
approach of the cholera, which had already broken out
at Ferrara.

The Monitore Toacano announces the demise on
the Ist of the Archduchess MARIE THERESA CHRIS-
TINA, third daughter of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY
and the Grand Duchess MARIE ANTOINETTE, born at
Pisa, February 5, 1838.

Prince PRA-LORMO, one of the signers of the treaty
between Austria and Sardinia, has been named Am-
bassador for the latter power at Paris.
Prince METTERNICH is, it is said, about to settle at
Florence.

THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY
AGAINST LOLA MONTES.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the day appointed for the further
hearing of the charge of bigamy against the very
notorious lady known as Lola Montes, a considerable
number of persons assembled about the court in the
expectation of witnessing the arrival of her and her
husband. The crowd, however, was by no means so
great as it was on the last occasion, owing to it
having been generally circulated that this lady and
Mr. Heald took their departure yesterday morning
for the continent, with the intention of proceeding to
Italy.

This, upon inquiry, turned out to be correct, and
it was further generally understood that both parties
had agreed that the matter should be settled, and that
it had been arranged that the recognizinces should be
entreated. From the subjoined remarks of Mr.
Clarkson, it will be zeen that this supposition was
incorrect.

Shortly before two o'clock, Mr. Clarkson, accom-
panied by Miss Heald's solicitor, entered the court,
and, after a short interval, •

Mr. Clarkson said (addressing Mr. Hard wick)—
Through your kind courtesy, Sir, I have received a
confirmation of that which I cannot but say I had
some reason to believe before—viz., that the
person—Mrs. James—who has been charged,
at the instance of Miss Heald, with the felonious
offence of bigamy, has not made her appearance here
to-day, and does not intend to appear. You have
been kind enough, Sir, to inform me, previously
that a communication to that effect has been received
at this office. I can only now state that it is my un-
pleasant duty, a duty however which I feel called
upon to discharge, to pray, as I stated I would on a
former occasion, that the bail of this person be es-
treated. I have a word more to add, and that in
consequence of a rumour which has prevailed to
some extent, and certainly not without some reason
for it, because it was very naturally supposed
that as this lady arrived in London on
Friday last, it was her intention to ap-
pear at this court for the purpose of attending her
further examination. The rumour to which I allude
is this—that a compromise has been entered into
on the part of the highly respectable lady,
Miss Heald, the sister of this young man's
father. There are no grounds whatever for any
such rumour, and the best proof I can
give of its inaccuracy is, that I now pray
that the recogniaances of the respectable persons
who have become bail should be at once es-
treated; but depend upon it that Miss Heald was, and
still is, actuated by the purest motives, and her only
object, which I am sure will be sanctioned by
yourself and every person of proper feeling,
was to rescue the son of her deceased
brother from a marriage equally illegal and dis-
graceful. Such proceedings at law as she
will be enabled to resort to will be
taken when further information is received
from India; and if the fact can only be proved that
Mr. James was alive even up to the period at which
this last marriage took place, no one, I think,
will be able to entertain a doubt that the motives
which influenced Miss Heald in instituting
these proceedings were proper and correct.
Her only desire is to rescue this deluded young man
from the fangs of this woman; her motives
were pure and upright, as I think everybody
will concur with me in thinking, and she is entitled
to no less, and asks for no more, than that the recog-
nizances should be estreated.

Mr. IhanwicK—Under these circumstances I
declare that the recognizances are estreated.
The parties then left the court.

DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.—One of
the most eccentric characters of modern times died a few
days ago at the Cochin Hospital at Paris. This man,
whose name was Jules Andi 6 Gueret, being possessed,
when 25 years of age, of a considerable fortune, resolved
never to marry. He converted his entire estate into
bard cash, and, in order not to suffer any losses from
failures, depreciation of property, &c., he kept his money
in his own possession. He had made the following calcu-
lation :—" The life of a sober man extends over a period
of 70 years, that of a man who denies himself no kind of
amusement may attain 56 or 60. Thus, the whole of my
hopes cannot go beyond that period; at any rate, as a
last resort, suicide is at my command." He divided his
money into equal portions for each year's expenditure.
This division was so nicely arranged that at the expira-
tion of the 60th year Gueret would have nothing left,
and each year he scrupulously spent the sum set apart.
But, alas, he had not reflected on the clinging attachment
of man to life, for in 1843, having exceeded the pre-
scribed period, he patiently submitted to his misfortune,
and, being then old and infirm, he took his stand on the
Quai des Celestine with a small box and a few lucifer
matches, living on the charity of the passers by. He
wore suspended round his neck a piece of pasteboard, on
which were written the following lines of his own com-
posing :

"Ayez, pitie, passants, du pauvre Andre Guisret,
" Dont la vie est Pius longue, hilas, ne croyait."
The cholera carried him off at last, to the great regret
of the artistes of the Ile St. Louis, whose leisure hours ho
whiled away by the relation of his youthful recollections.

EXTRA ORDINARY CAPTURE.—About ten days since
Mr. King, of the Manor-mills, Woodleigh, was sum-
moned to his door by an alarm from his daughter,
where, to his astonishment, a large kite had alighted on
a cage that contained a goldfinch, which hung against
the front of the house. So eager was the bird for his
prey, that Mr. King ascended a flight of steps and
seized him with his hand. It is a very fine bird of the
kind. The extent of his wings from pinion to pinion is
two feet, and his extreme length from head to tail four-
teen inches.—Exeter Flying Post.
