The Patria of Florence, of the 12th, quotes private
correspondence announcing as certain that the Aus-
trian troops are going to evacuate Parma and Pia-
cenza, and that Piedmontese troops are shortly to
occupy those Duchies. A decree of the Grand
Duke of TUSCANY, of the 11th, directs the Minister
of the Interior to present to the Chambers a Bill
on the provincial and communal system of Tus-
cariy, containing a complete reorganization of
that, branch of the public service. By an-
other-decree, the Minister of Grace and Justice is
directed to.present 'a Bill -on associations and clubs,
being, as nearly
,es posliblv an echo of the new
French- law on the, übject. The report on the finan-
cial condition of Tuscany hits been published, from
which it appears that the public debt amounts to 47
millions 'CI -francs;'and that ;i'l e expenditure for 1847
was 30 millions. _ ,

The Labor° of Rome contains the following :
" We have already announcitd that Mgr. FORNART,

LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)
The London Sessions were holden this morning, before
the Lord Mayor, Mr. Commissioner Bullock (for the
Recorder), and a full bench of Aldermen. There was
only one case of assault tried. The Court was ad-
journed to hear appealsAO the 4th and 18th November.
A session was also holden for the purpose of granting
licenses to persons about to keep inns, alehouses, &c.,
within the.Ci•ty. The cases were of the ordinary kind,
except an application by-hfr. Garrett for a license to
the New Tnn, 'Old' Bailey, which had been shut up by
the party, to whom a license had been granted in 1847,
having neglected to renew the application at the annual
licensing meeting in March last, and applicant had now
taken possession.—License granted.

,;DICK PASSAGE.--The General Steam Navigation
Company's new steam-ship Albion made her first pas-
sage, on Thursday last, from Blackwell to Boulogne, in
seven hours and twenty minutes, notwithstanding she
had to encounter a strong wind and heavy sea.
APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH Lrre.—We
understand that Colonel Romilly, son of the late Sir S.
Romilly, and brother of the Solicitor-General, is on the
eve of conducting to the hymeneal altar Lady E. Elliot,
daughter of the Earl and Countess of Minto, and sister
to Lady J. Russell. The ceremony, we hear, is to be
solemnized at Minto House, the Earl of Minto's seat near
Hawick, Roxburghshire.
THE FRENCH COAST.—The collectors and comp-
trollers of the Customs department at the several ports
throughout the kingdom have received copies of a no-
tice respecting lights on the coast of France, which have
been transmitted to the Commissioners from the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, with directions to
cause the same to be affixed ;in a conspicuous place in
the Custom-houses at their respective ports, for the in-
formation of masters of vessels and other persons whom
it may concern.
The llavre papers mention that an official repre-
sentation made to the Minister of Marine, alludes in
terms generally favourable to the success of the French
Newfoundland fisheries. Although the season has closed
rather carikr this year than usual, the catch, on the
average may, it appears, be reckoned at about 22. fr quin-
tals each man.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—
On Tuesday night the last down train, due at 10.30, did
not arrive at the Boston station till 12.30, when it
dashed through the closed gate in Skirbeck Quarter.
It appears that the man at the gate having, as ho states,
no orders to stop after the usual time, left the train to
open the gate for itself, which it did with a vengeance.
Fortunatbly no further accident occurred.
It is in contemplation to enclose Sherwood Forest,
