portfolio.

On the 13th Genoa was again in a state of agita-
tion. The troops stationed at the Ducal Palace
began to cry " War or home I" The people cheered
them. More troops were ordered to the spot by the
authorities, but they evidently sided with the people.
The cheers continued, and were responded to by
the troops. The Civic Guard refused to act unless
the troops were withdrawn ; the authorities complied,
and order was restored.

The people of Avenza, near Carrara, called on to
declare if they would prefer to be united with Pied-
mont or Tuscany, bare declared in favour of the
latter.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Turin, on the 14th
instant, the law for the reunion of the Duchies of
Placentia, Parma, Modena, Guastalla, and Reggio to
Piedmont, was adopted.
The Milan Gazette, of the 13th instant, announces
that the state of siege had been removed without
any restriction, and that ten individuals on their
trial before the Council of War bad been restored to
liberty.

COURT CIRCULAR.
OSI3ORNE, TUESDAY.
Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Albert took
their usual early walk in the grounds of Osborne.
His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, attended
by Colonel Bouverie. and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon.
C. Phipps, embarked on board the Fairy, at about ten
o'clock yesterday, and proceeded to Spithead; where
his Royal Highness minutely inspected a catamaran,
invented by Mr. Hely. This gentleman had come
out of Portsmouth in the catamaran, encountering a
very heavy swell, and upon the Fairy stopping, came
alongside of the yacht. After explaining the construc-
tion of his invention, Mr. Hely directed sail to be set,
and the Fairy proceeded to Portsmouth.
His Royal Highness having directed the standard
not to be hoisted, no salutes were fired. The Prince
Albert went on board the Excellent, and minutely
examined the system of tuition pursued on board that
vessel. His Royal Highness visited the classes of
naval cadets, marine cadets, and the schools for sea-
men and boys.
Tlae practice with the large guns and mortars was
afterwards shown by Captain Chads, which was most
successful, the balls frequently passing through the
targets.

All the different exercises with great guns, small
arms, boarding, and resisting boarders, were executed
in a manner which elicited the highest approbation of
his Royal Highness.
Admiral the Hon. Sir B. Capel, with Captain
Chads, received the Prince on board, otherwise the
visit of his Royal Highness was entirely private.
His Royal Highness, before leaving the ship, ex-
pressed to Captain Chads his entire satisfaction with
everything he had witnessed on board. Upon leaving
the vessel his Royal Highness was greeted by often-
repeated cheers from the officers and men.
Rear-Admiral Prescott, the Rev. T. Protheroe,
and Lieutenant- Colonel Phipps, had the honour of
joining the royal dinner party last night.

Mr. Henry G. Gordon, chairman of the Oriental
Bank, had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday.
Mr. Montgomery Martin and Captain Sturt had also
interviews yesterday with the Noble Earl, at the Co-
lonial• office.

Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from
the Colonial-office, for the Governors of Ceylon and
Malta.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat
yesterday. An appeal was heard from the Preroga-
tive Court, " Daniel v. Nourse." The appellant ap-
peared in person, and Dr. Addams was heard for the
respondents.

It is stated from Hamburgh that the Finance de-
partment at Gottorff had issued a circular to the Go-
vernment authorities throughout the duchy of Schles•
wig-Holstein, to the effect that the certificates granted
by the Danish civil authorities to vessels clearing for
any ports in Denmark, or for goods conveyed to Danish
ports, are to be accepted as the legal authority fur their
respective admission.
Last night's Gazette contains an Order in Council
ratifying a scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
for substituting a money payment to the prebendary of
Welton Beckhall, in Lincoln Cathedral, in consideration
of the property of the prebend being vested hereafter in
the Commissioners.—The same Gazette also contains an
Order assigning a district for spiritual purposes to the
consecrated church of St. Mark, on Stapleford-common,
Cuckfield, Sussex.

' TIIE Poll,lD—Or FLESH.-011 an appeal, an iron
grating over a coal-hole, unless wholly closed to exclude
light, has been decided by the judges to be chargeable as
a window!

The following is the answer of General WRANGEL
to the petition of the proprietors of the Zeitungskalle,
praying for the removal of the suspension of its pub-
lication :

" The reasons stated in your request of the 12th are
not such as to permit me to recal the renewed prohibi-
tion of the publication of the Zeitungshalle during the
existence of the state of siege. It was your duty to
observe those limitations which it became necessary from
the circumstances of the time to prescribe to the
freedom of the press, and by observing it to
secure the interests and existence of your work-
men. In what manner you have kept your given pro-
mise that facts and events only should be published in
the journal' is proved by the letter of the late Deputy
Jung, printed in No. 265—a letter intended to prevent
the re-establishment of public order, and to destroy the
returning feeling of confidence in the Government.
" It rested with you to insure the continued existence
of your journal, and with it the occupatib•n f your
printers. You could have effected both; but you have
violated your promise and forfeited the confidence re-
posed in you. On yourself therefore falls the whole
responsibility.

Letters from Rome of the 11th say that a Pro-
visional Government has been proclaimed. It is
composed of the senators for Rome and for Bologna,
and of the Gonfalonier of Ancona. The POPE has
been declared as deprived of all temporal power.
The Minister STERBINI has addressed the people ; he
said that the POPE alone, under the title of Bishop,
would have the right to enter Rome, but that all the
cardinals and prelates would be strictly prohibited
from entering the city. The people, in their enthu-
siasm, ran about the streets, crying "Death to the
POPE," "Death to the Cardinals." GARIBALDI has
been called to Rome by the Ministry.
From Bologna we learn that, on the 7th instant,
General ZUCCHI and the Marquis CARLO BEVILACQUA.
received their nomination as members of the Pro-
visional Government, instituted by the POPE, at
Gaeta, November 27. The Prolegate of Bologna has
published a letter from them addressed to him on the
subject, in which they state, they consider they
should fail in their duty were they to refuse their
assistance to his Holiness, and that they accept the
office, and will repair to Gaeta to consult their SOVE-
REIGN, in order to effect an arrangement for the
good of the country on the basis of Italian nationality.
Mag. RICCI DE MACERATA, another of the commis-
sioners, has also, it is said, accepted the office. Gene-
ral Zuccnz and Mag. BEVILACQUA left on the 9th for
Gaeta. On the 13th General Zucca' arrived at
Speziza. He sent immediately for the Roman Consul,
and inquired if he could remain with safety at
Speziza. The Consul told him that he could.
The Alba, of Florence, states that the commission
of five members, named by the Chambers of Rome
on the Bth, were to wait upon Cardinal CASTRA-
CANE, who was invested with the Papal Alter Ego.
The people, however, were dissatisfied with this mea-
sure, and cried, " Down with the Chambers ! We
want a Provisional Government !—a popular Go-
vernment !" Several influential persons however in-
terposed, and Minister STERBINI, having gone to the
Popular Club, expressed his approval of the measure
adopted by the commission, so that tranquillity was
at last restored. After the commission had had a
conference with Cardinal CASTRACANE, the latter
immediately dispatched a courier to Gaeta. It ap-
pears that the Roman Ministry intend naming GA-
RIBALDI General in-Chief of the Papal forces in the
Legations.
The city of Florence was the scene of a disturb-
ance on the evening of the 12th, on account of two
persons who had proffered seditious cries against the
Ministry. A crowd assembled, and the two indi-
viduals were ill-treated, and even in danger of a
worse fate, when Minister GUERRA ZZI, who was for-
tunately passing that way, interposed in their behalf,
and recommended the people to be calm. M. Nrco-
mm, a Roman, then harangued the crowd in the same
sense, and order was restored. The National Guard
had been called out, but its services were not re-
quired.
