Intelligence has been received from Rome to the
4th. It was at that time thought probable that the
POPE might postpone his return to Rome for some
time longer.
The Piedmontese Gazette states from Rome, 31st
ultimo, that the first military division of Pontifical
troops has been placed under the command of General
LEVAILLANT, who had the command•in-chief of the
Papal troops before the Commission of Cardinals
thought proper to entrust a Roman officer with it.
The same paper says that the POPE intended to stay
four days at Benevento, and thence to proceed to
Monte Cassino. It was generally believed he would
be at Rome on the 15th. .

The Nazionale of Florence says that the French
troops at Rome have taken up their quarters in the
edifices belonging to the Jesuits, in order, as they say,
to prevent the Reverend Fathers from claiming them
on their return. _ _

The Chamber of Deputy of Turin, in its sitting of
the. 6th, voted 400,000 f. for the cost of the funeral
ceremonies in honour of CHARLES ALBERT. A
conversation afterwards took place as to the propriety
of a further adjournment of the discussion on the
treaty of peace with Austria ; as the Commission
intrusted with the investigation of the subject had
but lately received further documents deserving of
attention, the adjournment was agreed to.
The King of SARDINIA has just conferred on M.
de REISET, First Secretary of the French Legation!at
Turin, the Cross of' Commander of the Order of St.
Maurice and St. Lazarus. .

M. MASSIMO D'Azaamo, Minister of Foreign
Affairs at Turin, has addressed a letter to the Mayor
of the commune of Azeglio, stating that he intends
applying a sum of 16,000 fr., which have been
awarded to him as chancery fees, for the conclusion of
the peace with Austria, to some public purpose. He
then asks the Mayor, whether the interest of the said
16,000 fr. added to what the commune could contri-
bute would suffice to found a free-school at Azeglio.
He further places at the disposal of the inhabitants of
Pobia a medal which he gained in the defence of
Vicenza, to which an annual pension of 100 fr. is at-
tached. The inhabitants of Pobia will thus be enabled
to pay a clergyman for their new church, according to
a wish they had expressed to that effect.

The Legge of Turin states that General GUGLIEMO
PEPE had, on the sth, a private audience of King
VICTOR EMMANUEL.

The Tuscan Monitore publishes regulations con-
cerning the institution of a general audit-office. These
regulations are to come into operation as soon as they
shall have been discussed and approved of by the
legislative assemblies.
The Costituzionale of Florence publishes corres-
pondence from Bologna of the Ist, stating that Car-
dinal BOFONDI is to succeed Monsignor BEDINI in the
office of the Legate of the province.
The Opinione of the 6th says that General
WIMPFFEN, while at Ferrara some time ago, declared
to several persons that Austria looked upon the con-
duct of France at Rome in a favourable light.
11 Resorgimento of Turin contains a long state-
tnent of the persecution carried on at Parma by
Duke CHARLES 111. Several hundreds of his sub-
jects have been flogged to death. No one is safe
from arrest ; the simple declaration of a dragoon or of
the guard alone is sufficient to lead to the denounced
being dragged and tried before the council of war in
the fortress, the trial being a mere mockery. These
harsh proceedings the Resorgimento ascribes to the
Duke himself, and exculpates Austria of all share in
I them.

HORSEMON GER-LANE.
(THIS DAY.)
A stranger passing along Horsemonger-lane to-
day, ar.d who was ignorant of the awful drama on the
eve of its enaction, would imagine that some vulgar
meant, such as a village fair or an exciting open-
air meeting, had drawn the vast concourse of people
who stood in groups opposite the county gaol of
Surrey, or sauntered up and down, gazing at the
prison. There were hundreds of low woman, and
men, and young people—as many women as men
we may say; well-dressed persons of both
sexes passing to and fro; and though the gaol
wore its wonted aspect—though no hideous
engine of death was erected over the porter's lodge,
the usual place of. execution for the county of Surrey,
fur the populace to feast and descant upon—though
all was peace within, "the busy note of preparation"
resounded outside the prison walls, for the erection
at any point where a view could be obtained of the
place where the execution is to take place, of
scaffolding and seats, was being rapidly proceeded
with. Some came, no doubt, to behold the scene who
would not come to behold the actors. Indeed, the
comfort of those who might be disposed to pay well
for a sight of the public strangulation of the convicted
man and wife seemed to be much cared for by the con-
s'ructors of the places of exhibition, for tarpauling
was being raised to keep the cold away. At a few
of the houses bills were exhibited, setting forth that
seats might be had, and the windows of one or two
were being completely cleaned, in order that the view
might not be impeded by a speck of dirt. Large
bills were exhibited at the stands to the same effect.
Seats were being prepared on the top of one or two of
the houses. It is due to the persons who were gathered
this morning in the front of the gaol, to
say that, as far as we could see, no inde-
cent levity marked their conduct. The awful
punishment seemed to awe the mass into partial
solemnity. Whether, however, when the shades of
night have fallen upon the spot, and when the scaffold
will be in busy preparation, riot of the most boisterous
kind, mirth the most,unrestrained, and mimickry the
most indecent, will not burst out, and make the place
a modern Pandemoneun, we will not undertake to say,
but will only express our fear that the great moral
lesson to be inculcated to the populace in the morning
will not restrain the orgies of the preceding night.

It may be well to state, and the argument issome-
what forcible, that the erectors of the scaffolds referred
to justify their proceedings, which have been stigma-
tised by many, on the ground that the execution of
Manning and his wife on the top of the prison, in the
seeing of,the public, is done for a great purpose—to
show " God's revenge against murder," and to exhibit
what will be the fate of those who shed human blood,
and that the more facilities they offer to effect that
purpose the better citizens, and truer and more
practical moralists are they.

IRELAND.
THE CORK ELECTION.
DUBT.IN, SUNDAY MouNING.—The nomination of
candidates for the vacant seat in the city of Cork took
place yesterday.
John Colter, Esq., proposed Colonel Chatterton as
the friend of British industry in preference to those
of foreigners. The proposition was seconded by
Captain Westropp.
Mr. Alexander M'Carthy, the Whig-Repeal can-
didate, was proposed by Dr. Lyons, and seconded by
R. Dowden (R).
Mr. J. F. Maguire, the proprietor of the Cork
Examiner, was proposed and seconded for the purpose
of making a speech in favour of Mr. M'Carthy, which
he did in due course.
The addresses of the Gallant Colonel and of Mr.
M'Carthy were listened to with much more attention
than is usual at Irish borough elections.
The show of hands was declared to be in favour of
the Repealer. The polling is to commence on Tuesday
morning.

VISIT OP HMI ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT
TO BIRMINGHAM.—THIS DAY.--His Royal Highness
the Prince Consort, attended by his Equerry in
Waiting, Lieut.-Col. the Hon. A.-Gordon, and accom-
panied by Secretary Sir George Grey, left Windsor
Castle this morning shortly after eight o'clock, and
proceeded by special train to Watford station, and
thence to Birmingham, in order to inspect the exhibi-
tion of arts and manufactures in that town. The
Prince and suite are expected to return to the Castle
at five o'clock from Birmingham.
SWAFFBAM, NORFOLK.—The coursing at this
place has just taken place, and drew together nearly 200
of the leading fashionables from all parts of the county.
The greatest attractions, however, were the balls which
took place on the nights of Tuesday and Thursday, aud,
as usual, John Weippert's band was retained by the
stewards.

Al ON .10 Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
from 9,000 to 10,000 bales, of which speculators have
taken 1,200 Egyptian. Among the transactions were
800 Pernatu and Maranhams, at 61d. to 61c1., and 1,700
Egyptian at 7d. to 71d. per lb. The market closed very
firmly.—Railway Shares were steady.
In Mark-lane to-day Wheat has advanced Is. per
quarter, and other grain is firm.
The advices from the Continent are not of a very inte-
resting character, and, in reference to commercial affairs,
they are generally satisfactory. At Paris the feeling ap-
pears to be particularly favourable just now, as evidenced
by the improvement in the funds, and they stand higher
at present, we believe, than at any period since the Feb-
ruary revolution, and money is extremely easy at Paris.
With the revival of confidence it is natural that capi-
talists and others should come forward more freely to seek
some investment; but at the same time there is just
solicitude expressed at the condition of the national
finances, and the means that must be resorted to for
bringing about something like equilibrium between the
income and expenditure.
The quotation for Austrian Bonds at Frankfort on the
Bth inst. was 87, and at Vienna on the 7th inst. the
Metallics were 93,i, and the rate of Exchange on Lon-
don was 10: 51. The Berlin price of the Three-and-a-
Half per Cent. Prussian Stock was 88/. At Amster-
dam the Funds were firmer on Saturday, and business
was tolerably animated, the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. being 531 to 7-16.
It is probable that we should have heard something of
the Niagara steamer from the United States, but that she
comes home under the disadvantage of one wheel only
being serviceable.
The following is an extract from a statement in Aris'
Birmingham Gazette of to-day concerning the Stafford-
shire iron trade:—
" In the early part of the fortnight the disposition to
give way noticed in our last account of this trade con-
siderably increased, and purchases of bar iron were
known to be made at 5/. 10s.,Swith usual discounts for
cash payments ; but during the last week a better
feeling has again prevailed, induced in some degree per.
haps by the returns of the Board of Trade, which show
a large increase of exports for the month of October
in wrought iron, as well as in all the various hardware
manufactures our district. This is, however, not sup-
ported by any accumulation of orders here, or any pro-
spect of any immediate demand ; while the Liverpool
market is stated to be in a very languishing condition,
and the prices of Welsh iron unsteady. Scotch iron,
also, is said to be rather receding, with the
make considerably beyond the demand. It is,
therefore, still a matter of speculation what course events
may take, whether the lost ground will be recovered,
or what may be the result of anther week or another
month. Under these circumstances little business is
doing, both buyers and sellers being unwilling to enter
into extensive engagements."
The English; Funds have been very steady, but have
not advanced upon the strength of the rise at Paris.
We shall have the account adjusted on Wednesday, and
it appears to be the more general impression that the
Bears have operated more extensively than their op-
ponents, and consequently will have to make arrange.
ments to close their speculations. If such be the case,
an advance is certain, for with the abundance of money
stock is not likely to be plentiful; and, indeed,
this morning Consols for transfer have realised
93/, whereas for Wednesday they have not been higher
than 931. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per ;Cents.
have been quoted 921 4, and the Three per Cents. 914 to
92. The premium. on Exchequer-bills continues firm at
455. to 485., -and on India Bonds at 81s. to:B4s.
In the Foreign Market there is not„much life, but the
quotations have been well supported. Mexican Bonds
are 261 1. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked
161, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 331 to I. Buenos
Ayres Bonds have been quoted 401, Cbilian Three per
Cents. 55, and Equador 31. Dutch Four per Cents. have
been at 82.
The Railway Share Market is very firm, and some of
the old lines are higher again. There is, however, not
much doing.
It deserves to be repeated, for general information, that
although Wednesday will be the settling day for Con-
sols and Bank and India Stocks, the differences will not
be payable until Friday; and that the Share settlement
will take placelon Wednesday also, though no Shares:will
be:publicly bought in, if not delivered, until fourteen days
from Thursday.
The secretary of the Orleans, Tours and Bordeaux
Railway has written to contradict the report of an
,in-
tended immediate call.
