ROME

• TUSCANY.
The Patria of Plorence of the 21st announces the
arrival at Leghorn of the Princess LOUISA TERESA,
consort of the son of the ex-Duke of PARMA.
The Rivista Independence of Florence of the same
date states that the Marquis RIDOLFI has left Flo
rence for Paris and London, on a special mission.

PUNCH!
Our delightful and facetious contemporary Mr,
Punch has admirably enforced the necessity of a pro-
rogation of Parliament by one of his most felicitous
illustrations. What with the brilliant oration of Mr,
Disraeli and the pictorial wit of Mr. Punch, our Legis-
lators are having rather a hard time of it—they
will be fairly denounced into their holidays
by the one, and jeered into them by
the other. Richard Doyle, the gifted son of our inimi-
table H. 8., is the artist who has illustrated in this day's
impression of Punch (No. 373), the daring sarcasms
uttered in the House of Commons yesterday by the
Hon. Gentleman the representative of Buckinghamshire.
The caricature, or we should rather say the historical
cartoon delineates Punch as he appeared when " Telling
the Members to go about their business." If only as a
daguerreotype of the House, the sketch would be inva-
luable, containing, as it does, not merely the portraits,
but the very vntisemblances of Lord John Russell,
Lord Palmerston, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Lord Mor-
peth, Sheil, Sir Robert H. Inglis, W. J. Fox, Cobden,
Muntz, Hume, Sir Robert Peel, Disraeli, Lord George
Bentinck, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Speaker, &c., &c., &c.
Is not this enough ? And yet there are more faces—
feces familiar to every frequenter of Westminster—
crowded into the apace of a few square inches by the
hand which is as skilful in portraying the goblins of
the " Chimes" of Dickens, the bees congregating about
Leigh Hunt's" Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla," or the
personnels of the great statesmen and debaters of the
century. The cartoon is crammed to overflowing with
satire, wit, drollery, fun, and through the mask of
this fantastic humour a deep earnest purpose.

any circumstances, the crop of good ones will tar exceed

&roue° to several inquiries as to the nationality of Fre-
derick Jerome, the seaman who distinguished himself so
,
much in saving the lives of passengers on board the ill-
fated Ocean Monarch, we have learnt from the Seamen's
Register-office at the Custom-house, that Jerome is a
native of Old

The Pensiero Italiano of Genoa, of the 24th, states
that no papers have arrived from Rome. As we have
received none either this morning, we have no means
of ascertaining the truth of the report we gave yes-
terday, that an insurrection had broken out at Rome.
The Tuscan papers contain no date from Rome
later than the 19th, on which day we learn that Count
LOVATELLI, Pro-Legate of Ferrara, has been named
Minister of War. A decree of the Lieut.-General of
the Kingdom, dated from Turin, 20th inst., offers a
premium of 10 percent. to those who, within twenty
days, will have contributed their share to the volun-
tary national loan. '
