ITALY.

Intelligence has been received from Rome to
the 6th.

The Concordia says no Roman will speak to the
French, and if a Frenchman enter a cafe it is
immediately deserted. Hatred of their invaders is
painted on every face. The French are obliged to
be on their guard, many having already been found
dead.
On the 6th PELLEGRINI and AVEZZtNO arrived by
steamer at Leghorn on their way to France.
MAzziNl, it is said, intends coming to England;
and it was reported that GARIBkLDI was anxious to
go to America. SAFI is not with the other Triumvirs.
OUDINOT has caused all the Roman troops to take
the oath of submission to the French authorities. Ge-
deral LEVAILLANT is appointed provisional'commander
of Rome, with Colonel PONTERO as second in com-
mand. The state of siege is strictly enforced.
The Roman Deputy, CERNUSCIII, has been arrested
by the French authorities. The arrest took place at
the time that CERNUSCHI was walking arm-in•arm
with M. BONAPARTE, the cousin of the President of
the French Republic.
The Opinione states that the American Consul has
left Rome in consequence of differences with the
French authorities. Several of the French soldiers
have been assassinated. Monsignor SAYELLI, the
Pontifical Legate in the Legations. has published a
decree, awarding one fourth part of the property of
every person convicted of a political offence to the
informer. This is one of the first fruits of the resto-
ration of the priests to power.

DEATH Or JAMES PATTISON, ESQ., M.P.—Our
obituary conveys the unexpected intelligence of the
death of one of the City's Representatives in Parliament.
Mr. Pattison, it appears, died at Molesey Grove, near
Hampton Court, on Saturday last. The deceased gen-
tleman, who was born in 1786, belonged to a family
that has for generations held a very high commercial
rank, and he himself was a Director of the Bank of
England at his death, and had filled the honourable post
of Governor. Ile represented the city of Le.ndon in
the Parliaments of 1835 and 1837, but was unsuccessful
at the general election in 1841. He was, however, re-
elected in 1843, to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Sir Matthew Wood, and again retained his position at
the last general election in 1847.
Mr. Horace Smith died at Tunbridge Wells on
Thursday morning. He was a man of a correct taste
and the most generous sympathies, a delightful writer
both in verse and prose, a cheerful and wise companion,
and a fast friend. No man had a wider range of admir-
able and genial qualities ; and far beyond that private
circle, of which he was the great charm and ornament,
his loss will be deeply felt. To those who had the ad •
vantage of his friendship, it is irreparable. His health
had given way during the last few months, and the end
was not unexpected. He was in his 70th year, but had
preserved to the last his love for the enjoyments of youth,
and took part in all honest mirth, with the simplicity and
gaiety of a child. The disorder of which he died was
ossification of the heart.
IRISH DISTRESS. —THE MUNSTER. CONNAUGHT
PLAN.—Nothing more powerfully shows how much it is
within the means of the Irish landlords to alleviate the
prevalent distress by careful and timely action, than the
exertions made in the county of Cavan, by Mr. Henry
Sargent, J.P., the agent to the Marquis of Headfort.
The Cavan paper contains a kng account of the working
of Mr. Sargent's plan. He begun in October last, by
raising a voluntary rate in the division of Munster-
Connaught. This Lmounted to 2221, half contributed
by the landlord, and half by the tenant. With this he
employed the able-bodied men in drainage works, re-
ducing the wages as the demand for agricultural labour
increased. At the last Spring Assizes he prevailed on
the poor-law guardians to contract for the repair of the
roads, and on them he employs both men and women, so
as to avoid out-door relief. He ha 3 thus reduced
the ay. rage weekly rates from 141. 7a. 3d. to
2/. 4s. 7d., being 1/. is. 81, for out-door relief, and
1/ 2s. I Id. for in-door relief. By the exertions of Mrs.
Sargent, of Eighter, the women have further be en em-
plo3ed in kni, ti-g at d other useful works. T 1 e same
syst-m has been adopted in Virginia, and the saving is
la. weekly. At the Cavan a‘sizes, on the sth, it was
extended to the divisions of Castleraghan and Termon.
WEYMOUTH.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert
has 3 ielded to the solici.ations of the inhabitants of
We mouth, as expressed through the mayor and Mem-
bers for the borough, to lay the first stone of the break-
water at Portland, on Wednesday, the 25th ,natant.--
