ITALY.

VENICE.

The Alba, of Florence, of the 6th instant, publishes
the following letter, addressed by a native of Venice
to the advocate PANATONNI at Florence :—" If you
believe that (the resistance of Venice will serve the
cause of Italian independence, the people and the
Governments of the Peninsula must aid us with
money, which at present is our most pressing want.
With that assistance we might hold out for a long
time. It would be a disgrace to Italy to suffer
liberty to perish for want of money. Let the mag-
nanimous Tuscany, therefore, give the example."
The Aurtrian Lloyd's, under date of Trieste, Sept.
6th, says—" This afternoon, at two o'clock, the war-
steamer Maria Dorotea anchored here, having on board
the courier Chevalier MATYASZEWSKT, with dispatches
from Field Marshal Baron WELDEN to the Sardinian
Rear-Admiral. This officer brings the intelligence
that the Piedmontese squadron, consisting of men of
war, eleven in number, together with the troops in
Venice, and those of General DELLA MARMORA,
forming the garrison of the forts, would, according
to Amuszes assurance, sail early this morning, and
that the Venetian ships which were previously with
the squadron, had retired into the canals.

ROME.
The POPE prorogued the Roman Chambers on the
2d instant.

PIEDMONT.

The Piedmantese Gazette of the 9th instant an-
nounces that General DURANDO has been appointed a
Royal Commissioner at Genoa.

DUTCH MAIL.
THE HAGUE, SEPT. 11.—The visit of his Majesty to
Tilburg seems to have excited the most lively satisfac-
tion to his loyal subject,. His Majesty has inspected
the new palace, and expressed himself much gratified
with the internal regulations,
AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 12.—Integrals and Four per
Cents. maintained their prices, and the Three per Cents.
were more in demand. Spanish funds maintained their
rates. Portuguese improved at the commencement, but
closed at yesterday's prices. Austrian, in consequence
of the depressed state of German exchanges, rather
flat. Five per Cent. Russian without variation. Four
per Cents. are improved ; and the rest or the Funds
maintained their price.—Amsterdam Courant, Sept. 13.

It is rumoured that Lord Gough, the General

BRIDPORT.—HORRIBLE DEATH —On Friday last
an inquest was held by Mr. S. S. Corry, on S. Hodder
Mabb, aged six years. It appeared from the evidence
of the mother of the deceased, that her son was playing
in the yard of Mr. Legg's brewery on Wednesday even-
ing • about six o'clock, when, in climbing up the side of a
barrel containing hot water, he accidently fell in; that
she was in her dwelling adjoining the yard, and, hearing
a plunge in the water, she ran out and discovered her
son in the barrel making efforts to extricate himself,
that she lost no time in taking him out, aid sending fur
medical assistance, when it was found that he had sus-
tained injuries so serious that recovery was hopeless.
The lad died on the following. evening. The jurors, after
viewing the body, returned the following verdict,
" Died from the effects of scalding water.”—Sherberne
Journal.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 14.—Prince
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte arrived here this morning
from London, and after taking lunch at Silva's Hotel.
embarked by the South-Western Company's steamer
Wonder for Havre.
GLASGOW.—THE WEATMER.—Tuesday, though
somewhat chill, was remarkably favourable for harvest
operations. A great amount of grain is now secure in
the barn-yard, and should the remainder of the week be
fine, " harvest home" will be proclaimed over a wide
extent of country. The following, per electric telegraph,
is a note of the weather yesterday:—Liverpool, Man-
chester, Leeds, London, Brandon, Cambridge, Chelms-
ford, Chesterlord, Colchester, Gosport, Ipswich, Poole,
Portsmouth, Peterborough, Harrow, East Dereham,
Norwich, Edinburgh, Leicester, Nottingham, Hull, and
Birmingham, fine; Derby, Masbro', Normanton, Yar-
mouth, and Lowestoffe, cloudy.
CONVICTS FOR NEW SOUTH WALES.—The Eden,
hired convict-ship, arrived at moorings opposite the
Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, on Monday, to receive on
board 300 convicts for conveyance to New South %Vales.
Captain Smith, of the 65th Foot, with one sergeant, one
corporal, and eighteen privates, and Ensign Benison, of
the 99th Foot, with twenty-six privates, go out in this
vessel as convict-guards, and will join the head-quarters
of their regiments, the former in New Zealand and the
latter in New South Wales. Seven convicts have been
put on board to-day, and 150 will be taken down from Milibank and Pentonville prisons to-morrow, and the
remainder on Saturday.
THE LATE ACCIDENTS ON TIIE LGNDON AND
NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—We understand that the
expenses caused by the late accidents, including all
claims, will amount to about 2,600/. The relatives of
the late Colonel Baird have, in the handsomest manner,
intimated their intention not to make any claim on the
company.

Lady Hamilton and suite left London yesterday
morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's
steam-ship Soho, for Antwerp. _ • _

REPRESENTATION OF GALWAY.—The Galway Vin-
dicator says that Mr. Blake Foster, of 13,irna Villa, and
nephew of LordFfrench, is to be a candidate for the re-

presentation of Galway.

REDDITCLI.—A LIBERAL LANDLORD.—The Hon.
R. H. dive, in the most kind and considerate manner,
returned half the amount of the year's rent to the
various tenants of the allotments at Redditch, W( b-
heath, and the Lickey, in c:,nsequence of the failure of
the potato crops. Toe audit was held at the Unicorn
Inn at Redditch, on Wednesday last, and when the ge-
nerous conduct of their excelent landlord was made
known to the poor men, amounting to nearly 300, the 3
assembled upon the bowling-green, and passed, amidst
enthusiastic cheering, a v,,te of thanks to the honourable
gentleman for hisi humane and handsome conduct to-
wards them,— Florcester Chronicle.

JURORS
ROlesla :IN jEOPARDY.-A contemporary states
that
"no fewer than forty-six jurors submitted
uirß
to the penalty of 50/., rather than attend the late trials."
We do not wonder at this, considering the peculiar mode
of challenging jurymen which prevails in the sister island.

A HANDSOME EXCHANGE.—We see that Russia,
among other things, has just sent to the English market
" 1.5 barrels of tongues." Punch suggests, as a liberal
return, and still keeping the balance in our favour, that
we should send to Russia, in tw•o separate barrels, " Ott
itastey," and "Qn Urquhart,"—Punch.
