ITALY.

We learn from the Pensiero Italian. of the 20th
that the Roman Ministry has resigned en masse.
The Alba of Florence quotes a letter from Bo-
logna, announcing that Senator Zuccnim has refused
to form part of the Provisional Government, and at
the same time has sent in his, resignation as Senator.
The consequence of this act has been an address of
the national and popular clubs to the Roman people,
censuring in strong terms the conduct of M. ZUG-

M. CAMPRLLO, Minister at Rome, has answered
General Zuccin's letter to him in the following terms :
—" General CARLO ZUCCHT, your words are unworthy
of a man of honour. I pity you, and excuse your age
He is vile who betrays Italy."
The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 15th, con-
tends that, before leaving Rome,
the Porn was not,
even for a single instant, a prisoner in the Palace of
the Quirinal. On the contrary, General G xmazsio
went to him to assure him that the post of the civic
guard at the palace was purely a guard of honour,
ready to retire if its presence was displeasing to his
Holiness.

The Speranza of Rome asserts that the PM, has
made up his mind to reside temporarily at Civita
Vecchia, under the protection of an Anglo-French
fleet ; and that in such case he would name a new
Ministry, composed as follows :—Cardinal ART°.
NELLI, President of the Council ; Moirrorlear, Inte-
rior and Police ; Rosmtra, Public Instruction ; Mar-
quis BBVILACQUA, Finance; Marquis Rtccr, Com-
merce ; General Zuccar, War. It is said that this
determination has been suggested by the English
Minister at Naples.
The French fleet is expected in the Adriatic.
The Venice Gazette, of the lath, publishes two
decrees of the Provisional Government, the first or-
dering the formation of a legion of Chasseurs of the
Alps, composed of the inhabitants of the Cadore, Bel-
lunese, the province of Feltro, and the seven com-
munes present at Venice ; the second ordering the
formation of a Dalmato-Istrian Legion, composed of
inhabitants of those provinces.
Mr. TEmplat and Sir WILLIAM PARKER went
from Naples to Gaeta on the 17th to pay their re-
spect to the POPE. Nothing further had been done
by the negotiators with regard to the affairs of
Sicily.

THE POST MAGAZINE ALMANACK.—In addition to
the usual information contained in an almanack, the
Post Magazine Almanack gives us an Insurance
Directory, a Trades Directory, a useful resume of
the Laws regulating Fire and Life Insurance Com-
panies, and much useful advice to parties desiring to
effect either fire or life insurance. It should be the
insurer's vade mecum.
OLIVER AND BOYD'S THREEPENNY ALMANACS,—
Considering the immense amount of information con-
tained in this almanack, it is certainly the cheapest
we have ever seen. It is neatly printed and ad-
mirably indexed, so that the information desired can
be found in a moment.
SHIPWRECK AND NARROW EICAIE OP A DOVER
PILOT.—On Tuesday night, Mr. Gutsole, Cinque Ports
pilot, was shipped from Dover, by a Deal boat, on board
a Sicilian brig, from Pernambuco for London. The wind
blew strong from the eastward, and on arriving off
Sheerness had increased to such a degree that the pilot
was compelled to let go his anchors in Panson•hole. The
gale still continuing, the brig drove with her anchors,
and at four o'clock ran on the sands. The crew launched
the long boat, which they entered; but the painter broke
adrift, and the captain and Mr. Gutsole were left on
board, where they remained in a most perilous situation
till nine o'clock, when they were taken from the rigging
by a French fishing boat, and landed at Boulogne. Yes-
terday morning they arrived at Dover by her Majesty's
packet Undine. The brig has since become a total
wrecii, her topmasts only being visible. We hear that
the crew in the long boat succeeded in landing at Sheer
ness.—.Dover Telegraph..
