Leiters from Rome, dated the 7th inst., state
that much inquietude was still felt respecting the health of the
Pope. It is also stated that a great number of persons,
charged with secret political offences, had been taken into cus-
tody at Rome, 3lacerata, Ancona, Forli, and Ferrara, and that
the principal actors in the conspiracy were members of the
party termed " La Jeune Italic."
INTERNIENT OF THE BODY OF ELY, THE
31uRnEnEit.—Last night at twelve o'clock, the body was in-
terred in a grave eight feet deep, in Lock's burial-ground, St.
George's-fields. It was placed in a shell with the clothes on
in which he perpetrated the horrid deed, and lowered into
the grave, which was immediately filled up with earth. At
,f
ten o'clock last night the body of the unfortunate Mrs. We-
therley was removed from her residence in Caroline-place,
where the murder was perpetrated, to that of her mother, in
Union-street Lambeth,rom which:place it will be interred, on
Sunday next, in Lambeth Church-yard.
It is rumoured that her Majesty and Prince Al-
bert will visit Brighton about tha 14th August. We have
good reason to believe that his Royal Highness will review his
regiment here some time in that month, but whether it will be
as early as the 14th we are unable to say ; it will depend, we
understand, on the completion of the order for the new regimen-
tal clothing, which is now being executed with all possible
despatch. His Royal Highness had a variety of patterns sub-
mitted to him, and had solve difficulty in deciding as to the
colour, being anxious to see this fine regiment second in ap-
pearance to none in the service. We understand that his
o
Royal Highness has fixed upon crimson over-.lls. The interior
the Palace is now undergoing very extensive re-embellish-
ment ; and a considerable number of workmen are employed.

CONSUMPTION.—Dr. Latour, of Parr, has
'
published the following rules for preventing the advent of con•
sum,.tion in those who are predisposed to it :—A consumptive •
patient should inhabit a dry, airy locality, well exposed to the
influence of the solar ra s. Res
dence in any large city predis-
posesy to consumption. A temperate climate should be chosen,
where the variations of the temperature are neither sudden nor .
frequent. Travelling, and particularly sea voyages, is attended
witn decided advantage in the early stage of consumption
The patient should be warmly clothed, and covered with flannel
from head to foot. He should take habitually some moderate I
exercise, as walking, riding, &c. Exposure to the open air I
and sun's rays are absolutely necessary. He should exercise
