ITALY.

The following order of the day was published at
Rome by General OnDim); on the 16th :
" At the review of yesterday, which was held to cele-
brate the birthday of the Emperor Napoleon, the troops
were in the most regular condition. All ideas of na-
tional and military glory were embodied in this review.
The power of v-collections has excited general emula-
tion. The Generat-in-Chief now addresses with the
greatest pleasure to the troops of all arms the testimony
of his entire satisfaction at the regular appearance of the
troops, the harmony of their movements, and the preci-
sion of their firing off. The army of Italy, which has
obtained so elevated a place in public opinion by its
discipline, its valour, and its instruction, will continue to
render itself worthier daily of the mission which France
has confided to it. The General-in-Chief is happy in
being able to render it this justice.
" The General Commander-in-Chief,
OUDINOT DE REGGIO."
By a decree of the 131 h the Roman Minister of
Finance has suspended the payment of all sums which
were due before the 30th of June, 1849. All pre-
tensions to payment before that epoch must be regis-
tered before the lapse of the next three months.
The Jesuits have returned to Rome and taken pos-
session of their convent.

The POPE is becoming gradually weaker, and has,
it is said, had several fits. He is kept in a state of
complete seclusion at Gaeta by the Sacred College,
who permit none but their own creatures to approach
him. The most horrible rumours are circulated as
to the cause of the illness of the Supreme PONTIFF.
A letter from Ferrara, of the date of the 14th of
August, states, " A dead body found on the river
Pignetta has been, in consequence of judicial investi-
gation, recognised as that of the wife of GARIBALDI.
It appears that she died of fatigue during the flight,
and those who accompanied her hid her mortal re-
mains in such a manner as to leave no traces of the
fugitives to the cavalry which pursued them."
On the 18th a numerous deputation of members of
the Piedmontese Senate waited upon King VICTOR
EMANUEL, and presented to him the address of that
body, in answer to the Royal Speech. Shortly after
another deputation from the Senate waited upon the
King with an address of condolence, from which we
extract the following :
"Your magnanimous father was destined to regenerate
and raise this people to a new political condition, and
be fulfilled that destiny with love and probity. He was
also destined to extend his powerful hand to our ancient
mother, and a halo of glory encircled her on her resur-
rection. He then saw her stop and deviate from her
path, but his magnanimous heart said: Let every sacri-
fice be mine, so that hope may again bloom for her."
The KING was greatly moved at this address, and
in his answer to the deputation expressed a hope that
the Senate would continue to the son the affection and
devotion of which they had given so many proofs to
King CHARLES ALBERT.

Accounts from Turin, of the 22d, state that the
grand funeral service, which was ordered in honour
of CHARLES ALBERT, has been suspended, as it was
feared that it would be made the occasion on the part
of the ultra republican and war party to create a
disturbance.

The discussion on the treaty of peace had not
closed, but it was believed that the law granting the
funds for the indemnity would be passed without
difficulty.
A serious riot occurred at Milan on the 18th, the
anniversary of the EMPEROR'S birthday. The Aus-
trian flag was insulted, and the military interfered.
Several persons were wounded and one killed.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
Lewis Davis, aged 45, a married man, and the father
of a family, was convicted of a rape upon the person of
a little girl named West, aged 9, under circumstances of
much aggravation.
The prisoner, who denied his guilt, was sentenced by
the RECORDER to be transported for the term of his na-
tural life.
The other cases tried during the morning were devoid
of public interest.

NELV COURT.
Thomas Bennett and Henry Randell, two sinister-look-
ing lads, were charged with having stolen a silver watch,
seven yards of cloth, a shawl, and a quantity of vs earing
apparel, the property of Joseph Percival!.
The first prisoner had lodged with the prosecutor, and
in his absence he had secured the property in question,
and disposed of it to several pawnbrokers, through the
medium of his fellow prisoner. The property was
pawned on the same evening that it was stolen.
Randell admitted that he had pledged some of the
property, but it was at the request of Bennett, who told
him he had come by it honestly.

The jury found Bennett Guilty of stealing, and Ban-
doll of receiving.
The COURT sentenced Bennett to six months' impri-
sonment, with hard labour; and Bandell to nine months,
with hard labour.

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—On Sunday morning last
some excitement was created by a report being spread
that the body of a lady had been found on the Small-
mouth Sands. Upon inquiry we found it to be too true.
The unfortunate lady is the wife of Captain Michell,
E.1.E., now living at Rodwell. An inquest was held at
the union-house, before Mr. J. Wallis, coroner, when it
appeared that about six o'clock she got up and went
0.. t, as her husband supposed, for a walk. Not having
returned, he felt uneasy and went in search of her, when
he met some men with a corpse, and on looking at the
body found it to be that of his wife. Whether she was
accidentally drowned or otherwise remained enveloped
in mystery. She was 35 years of age, and had been
married only about four months. The verdict was
" Found drowned ."—Sherbsurne Journal

BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.--The rehearsal
of the music to be performed at this festival, which com-
mences on the 4th of September, has proceeded satisfac-
torily, and this week Mr. Costa, the conductor, will su-
perintend them in person. Whatever may be the pecu-
niary success of the festival, the fact is beyond doubt
that in respect to the number and character of the per-
formers, and the excellence of the selections, it is far in
advance of any preceding meeting. Great preparations
are iu progress in all parts of the town for the reception
of visitors. The exhibition of manufactures at Bra 3 ley-
house, on Monday, the 3d of September, the day pre-
vious to the announcement of the festival, will surpass
everything of the kind ever seen in England,
