ITALY.

The Italian papers received this morning contain
no confirmation of the news of the illness and demise
of his Holiness the POPE ; and no telegraphic dis-
patch, as was rumoured, has been received by the
French Government on the subject.
Grand military evolutions are now being executed
by the garrison of Genoa, for the purpose of exer-
cising the troops in the preliminary operations of a
siege. They commenced on the 20th.
Prince NiiromucErm, father of H.R.H. the Duchess
of GENOA, arrived at Turin on the 21st, with his con-
sort, Princess AUGUSTA of Bavaria.
The Milan Gazette, of the 20th,;publishes:the con-
vention concluded between Austria, Modena, Parma,
and Tuscany, for the construction of the railroad
which is to connect those states with the lines of
Lombardy.
The Prince CABIN' has been appointed Neapolitan
Ambassador to London in the room of the Prince of
CASTELCICALA. The chains of the unfortunate POERIO
have been replaced by order of the Government, not-
withstanding his severe illness.

FURTHER SEARCH FOR SIR. JOHN FRANKLIN.--
'We believe there is no truth in the report that the Admiralty
have yet decided on renewing the search for Sir J. Franklin
and his party in the ensuing spring. In all probability their
Lordships' decision will depend on the report of the com-
mittee appointed by their Lordships to consider the reports
of Captain Austin, C. 8., and Captain Penny, and to exa-
mine the officers late of the expeditions under the above
chiefs. The committee, as we stated on Saturday, com-
mence their labours this day.—Herald.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—The
long and much-needed erection of the east wing of this
charity is now in progress. Limited contracts have been
entered into by the board, and, by the continued support of
the public, the completion of the hospital may now certainly
be anticipated at no very distant period. The erection of
the structure in carcase is to be completed by December
in next year, by which time it is hoped the funds will
have sufficiently increased to justity further steps towards
completion.

THE SOI-DISANT BARONESS VON BECK.-Mr.
Toulmin Smith has forwarded the subjoined letter to the
papers, with the single remark that " it of course settles the
matter:"—" Southampton, Oct. 24.—Dear Sir, in reply to
your note I beg leave to assure you that the name of
Baroness von Beck' is utterly unknown to me, There was
a person named Racidula' employed by my Government as
a spy, whom I saw twice in my life, and gave some special
instructions to as a spy. That is all I know about her. I
am, sir, with the highest regard, your obedient servant, L.
KOSSUTH. To J. Toulmin Smith, Esq., Highgate.";

THE
ENSUING MICHAELMAS' TERM.—On Saturday
appeared the list of arrears of the Court of Common Pleas,
containing only
two" matters, and maktng, with the other
common law courts (as mentioned in The Sun), the arrears
to number only fifty-six rules. The arrears of the Court of
Chancery are in a very different condition, numbering about
1,000. The Lord Chancellor will regulate the sittings of the
appeal judges, and they are expected to sit in the court used
by his Honour Knight Bruce, now one of the Lords
Justices.
Kossuth will attend at the Guildhall, at twelve
o'clock on Thursday next, to receive the address of the Cor-
poration of London. The members of the Common Council
have been summoned to attend at the above place and hour,
to witness the ceremony.
ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—On Saturday evening a
performance took place at this theatre for the benefit of Mr.
Henry Bennett, the stage manager ot the Printers' Dra-
matic Society, who certainly must have been gratified to
witness the large and respectable " house" that assembled
on the occasion. The " event" of the night was the debut
Georgesin t
Juliet,
a part which she ren-
dered a flattering promise
of Madamein a
manner AnnAnn a
well
calculated
of future histrionic success, and when called before the cur-
tain several bouquets were thrown to her. hi Box and Cox,
which followed, Mr. Bennett appeared as the printer, and he
added considerable zest to the character by the introduction
of several professional allusions, which appeared to be greatly
relished by the audience. Jerrold's drama of The Rent Day,
which was well performed, concluded the evening's enter-
tainment.
REFUSAL OF THE GOVERNMENT TO POSTPONE THE
Hor DUTY.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles
Wood, has returned the following answer to the hop-growers
memorial :

" Downing-street, October 20, 1831.
Sir—l have had the honour of receiving a memorial
signed by you, as chairman of a meeting of hop planters
held at the George Inn, thirst-green, and praying for a
postponement of the payment of the remaining moiety of the
hop duty of 1850. I regret to say that Ido not feel it to be
consistent with my duty to accede to this request.—l have
the honour, &c., "CHARLES WOOD.=
" Alexander Anderson, Esq."

We have much satisfaction in learning that Cap-
tain Penny's crew have presented him with a handsome
silver snuff-box in proof of their gratitude and attachment,
and that the same compliment has been paid to his second
in command, Captain Stewart, of the Sophia. A vote of
thanks has alio been presented to them by the seamen of
Lite pun, of Aneltieksil to mark their suns, of may Le
