which we have referred is still more important. The
Act which authorised any person to claim to be in-
serted, or to object to any name being retained, in the
list of voters, provided that costs not exceeding 20s.
might be given against such person, to the party
resisting such claim or objection, that power, how-
ever, was seldom acted on, and numerous frivolous
objections were usually takini, many of which were
wholly without foundation, but which were made
for the purpose of annoyance, and on the chances of
the perion objeated:to being, the pressure
of his avocations, unable to attend before the
Barrister, and to maintain his right to

be retained. If the party was not pre-ent he was
disfranchised, but if he attended the objection was
withdrawn, and no notice taken. Mr. APCHRISTIE
has also determined to put down this practice whichhad
been carried to such an extent that thousands of ob-
jections were lodged which were quite untenable. He
has accordingly, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
the objection at the last moment, given costs against
the party making it, if it proved groundless, and the
person objected to attended before him, in consequence
of the notice, upon proof or admission of the hand-
writing of the objector. Mr. M'CUMSTIE has enti-
tled himself to the best thanks of every elector in the
kingdom for the rules he has established, which
if duly followed and acted on by other Learned Gen-
tlemen, as no doubt they will be, must have the effect
of preventing very serious inconvenience to great num-
ber; and the temporary disfranchisement of many
duly qualified persons.

A Vienna letter of the 19th, in the Augsburg Ga-
zette says, "As there is no Bourse to-day, the holders
of railroad shares have been permitted to enter at the
Administration of the Sinking Fund the number
that they are desirous of disposing of at former
prices, viz., Milan, 108, Gloggnitz, 120, Pest, 98.
Yesterday MM. DE ROTHSC MILD, SENA, and
ESKELER had an interview with M. DE METTERNICH,
and this day with the Archduke LUDWIG.."
A letter from Hamburgh, of the 20th, says—
" Within these last few days, a Swiss banking-
house of our town has suddenly sold a ♦ery great
number of shares of the railway from Hamburgh to
Berlin, which, notwithstanding the receipts and traffic
of the railway, are always increasing, has necessarily
brought down considerably the price of shares. In-
quiries having been made into the causes of this sale,
in some respects a forced one, it has been ascertained
that the banking-house had acted on behalf of the
College of Jesuits of Fribourg (Switzerland), and
that that establishment had for a long time carried on
frightful gambling in most of the stock which is
negotiated on the Bourse of Hamburgh."

A letter from Naples, dated the 19th inst., says—
" The success of the insurgents in Calabria is con-
firmed. Every day fresh communes declare in favour
of the movement, and reinforce the bands of the in-
surgents. The greater part of the coast connected
with the principal towns which are in insurrection
has also declared in their power. A sanguinary con-
flict has taken place between the bands of Romeo and
the royal troops commanded by General Nunziante,
who has five battalions under his orders. Upwards
of 300 of the King's soldiers were either killed or
taken prisoners ; amongst the dead were found a
colonel and a captain. On their side the insurgents
had also a good number killed or taken prisoners.
After this affair, Romeo sent to propose to General
.Nunziante an exchange of prisoners, but he replied
that it was too late, as the prisoners who had fallen
into his power had been at once shot. Romeo in
reprisal had the prisoners taken by his men also put
to death. The tactics of Romeo appear to be to
advance constantly, organizing the insurrection
in all the districts he passes through, respecting in all
cases the property and persons of the inhabitants.
It is these continual marches which the Govern-
ment journal calls a flight before the King's troops.
The Government has sent moveable columns into Ca-
labria and the other provinces where it is afraid that
the insurrection may spread. As I have already
stated, General Stratella has assumed the command-
in-chief of the Calabrian troops. It is stated that the
King has disapproved of the executions ordered by
General Nunziante ; but the latter has alleged in his
justification that orders were sent him by which he
was enjoined to have every insurgent, taken with
arms in his hand, put to death. It is very difficult
for me to make you acquainted with what is passing
in Sicily ; no letter reaches us, and no one can at-
tempt, without compromising himself, to penetrate
the mystery in which the Government envelopes all
its acts in this country."
It is reported that the insurgents of Calabria have
again occupied Reggio, and put to death a detach-
ment of 140 men of the royal army, commanded by a
superior officer, who fell in their hands.
A letter from Rome states that the Prince DE
CANINO has been struck off the list of the National
Guard of that city. According to a rumour in circu-
lation, this measure was adopted in consequence of
some violent and indiscreet language by the Prince
in favour of the establishment of one general mo-
narchy in Italy, with a view to give assurance to the
Liberals in France. M. GALETTI, an officer of the
National Guard, M. MASI, and ➢lr. MacnEasr, an
Englishman, are said to have been placed under arrest
at their houses for having uttered shouts in favour of
national liberty in front of the house of the Austrian
Ambassador.

A letter from Venice of the 17th says,—" It was
Count FIQUELMONT, who applied for the order to
send the Prince DE CANINO away from Venice. The
Viceroy wished to prevent the necessity of such a
measure. Three Commissaries waited on the Prince,
and presented to him his passport. The Prince said
he expected what had occurred, but that before leav-
ing he would offer them a souvenir. lie then gave
to each a pontifical cockade."

A supplement to the Felsineo of Bologna contains
an account of some disturbances which took place
there on the 15th and 16th inst. As the Felsineo
does not state what was the occasion of these troubles,
it is impossible for us to divine the motive of them
Letters, which we receive from Leghorn, would lead
us to suppose that the movement at Bologna was
caused by the presence of the Prince DE CANINO,
whom an order of the Austrian police had recently
,enjoined to quit Venice. We cannot in any wad•
answer for this version; we can only state, according
to the Felsineo, that the National Guard has shown
itself much opposed to this manifestation ; that the
troops of the line were obliged to interfere; and
several arrests have been effected.

We find in the Alba, of the 20th, a pastoral letter
of the Archbishop of FLORENCE to his clergy, dated
the 16th, in which, after expressing his satisfaction at

the fraternal concord displayed by the clergy in unit
ing with the people to convey, by the public demon

stration of the 12th, their sentiments of loyalty and
gratitude to the Prince for his liberal and enlightened
measures, herdirects the insertion, during eight days,
of the first prayer, pro gratiarum actione, in the so-
lemnity of mass ; and concludes with an exhortation
to follow in the spirit of the immortal Pius IX., who
from the chair of PETER, the Apostle and King,
offers the most luminous examples of religious and
civil wisdom.

It is stated in a letter from Turin, that the
commercial treaty of 1751 between Austria and

Sardinia is to be annulled, and a new treaty en•
tered into, in which the two states will make mntua
concessions,

The republic of San Marino has just experienced
a change. This little country, hemmed in on all
sides by the states of the Church, has always pre-
served its independence. It contains about 7,000
inhabitants, all engaged in agriculture. Its govern-
ment is composed of two captain-regents, charged
with the executive power, a secretary of state for
foreign affairs, another for home matters, and a
council of state. The latter body has just been con-
verted into a chamber of representatives, named by all
the inhabitants, and it has declared that its delibera•
tions are to be public.

Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived.

Colonel GUERRA arrived at Madrid on the 21st.
lie was the bearer of a letter to her MAJESTY from
ESPARTERO, in which the Duke of VICTORY ex-
presses his warm gratitude towards her MAJESTY,
and his anxious desire to defend her rights and inte-
rests. The QUEEN received the letter in the most gra-
cious manner.

Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA and his daughter have
arrived at Burgos. Mr. BULWER has gone to La
Granja for a few days.
It is said that the intrigues which have been set on
font for the overthrow of the new Cabinet are on the
point of succeeding, General SERRANO having been
bought over by the Afrancesado party. There are
rumours of various modifications in the Cabinet.
According to one account there is a coolness
between SALANIANCA and SERRANO, and the latter
has given his support to IsTArrAgz. According to
