ROME.

The accounts which we gave yesterday of the
nomination of a Provisional Government at Rome
are confirmed, but no additional particulars are
mentioned, except that the person to whom the
Porn applied to form a new Ministry on the resig-
nation of INIAsasuANI and his colleagues was Count
PESOLANI, and that he refused unless he was permitted
to declare war, in the name of Rome, against the
Austrians.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE STANLEY.
This bankrupt was an ironmonger in the Blackfriars-
road, and came up to pass his last examination. The
debts wero 8021. 14s. 2d., and the assets about 112/.
His HONOUR said this bankrupt bad been bankrupt
and insolvent before, and had also compounded with his
creditors. His balance-sheet commenced Ist January,
1843, with a capital of 471. 12s. 10d., which he accounted
for by calculating that it was the difference between the
sum he paid for his own stock with borrowed money
and the real value of the property. His Honour said
that it did not appear that a better account could be
made out, and the bankrupt might pass his examination' •
but his conduct would. be taken into consideration when
he applied for his certificate.

SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.'
(Before ThoMAS PUCRIE, Esq.! and a bench of Ma'.

gistrates.)

George Bishop, a gentlemanly-looking elderly man,
with gray hair, was brought up on three indictments:
the first charging him with stealing a book, the pro-
perty of Henry Ellis; the second with stealing a
blouse, the property of Richard Gay; and the third
with stealing a yard and a half of cashmere, the pro-
perty of Abner Woodhull.
Mr. CIIARNOCK, who was engaged to defend him,
said, that after looking at the facts of the case,
he thought it advisable to suggest to the
prisoner the propriety of withdrawing his plea
of not guilty, and of pleading guilty. The
prisoner was a highly respectable man, and connected
with some of the first families. He had formerly been
in business as a silk-mercer, in Southampton, where he
failed, but had since been supported luxuriously by his
family. Se was at times partially deranged, and at the

time he committed the robbery he was under the influ-
ence of liquor, which deprived him of reason. He, there-
fore, hoped that the Court would be merciful to him.
The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Keene, the governor of
the gaol, whether the prisoner exhibited symptoms of
insanity while under his care ?
Mr. Keene replied that the surgeon had examined the
prisoner, and he did not think there was anything the
matter with him. He had been twice in custody before
in June, 1847, and about three months ago, but had
been discharged.
A number of gentlemen came forward and spoke to
the prisoner's former character, as a gentleman of great
respectability.
The CHAIRMAN told the prisoner that however painful
it might bo to the Court, they should not be doing their
duty, unless they punished him with great severity. The:
offence was much aggravated by his position in life and
the defence attempted to be set up; therefore the Court
saw no reason for mitigation. The sentence of the
Court was, that he be imprisoned six months in Brixton
House of Correction, with hard labour.
