THE ~..IUSTRIANS IN ROMAGNA.

The following letter has been addressed to a con
temporary :
Sir,—When at the Paris Congress mention was.
made of the painful state of affairs in Italy, you and
the English press spoke in favour of that unhappy
country ; and you did the same in the nam eot
humanity on the occasion of my flight from the
castle of Mantua. Tendering you my sunder
thanks, I at the same time beg you will bring
the notice of the public the persecutions an
cruelties committed every day by the Austrians 0.3
individuals that are not Austrian subjects, and in
a country where Austria has no right to be, viz.,
the Papal States, governed for the last seven years
by three masters—the Pope, the Emperor of Aus-
tria, and the Emperor of the French.
The letters which I receive from my
friends are
full of accounts of the arbitrary acts daily est%
witted by those powers on the population of tba
unfortunate country. The following is what tbeY

THE WOMEN-FLOGGING IN

Yesterday there was a full attendance of the direnlo

workhouse, New.road, it being understood that viet

of the workhouse to refuse compliance with the order

Mr. Braces accepted the chair ; and, after a varietl
business,
Mr. RIDDING, on being called on, said, as the subitcec,
of the recent flogging, which had gained so much 11.°10
riety, was before the vestry, who, no doubt, had a
to express an opinion in Vie matter, and more espenl;o3
in respect so the interference of the Poor-law Board, it

The motion was then withdrawn.

inquiry disclosed as having taken place in the I%or' be

prove that.oi

only would the removal of the children be a Roan- b securing them from the pollution they were now betite
jected to, but that the room created would afford A ~)
or classification for the workhouse inmates. When e"the
a boon could be effected for 4001. a-year, be hoped
guardians would not hesitate to carry it out. ob.
Mr. Wm. opposed the motion. He had n°
jection to moving the children right away from the
tatninating influence of the workhouse into the cotP.ti
but to remove them to a place in such close prox.irel
to the workhouse was au absurdity. 'Lion
Mr. RIDDING also opposed the motion. In add'

there must be a large outlay to adapt it for the use

vOn a show of hands, the motion was negatived d
nrijority of 8 to 4, and on a division by 14 to 6.
Dr. BACHNOFFNER, with much warmth, declared 14
this was the third time the question had been icoot'v
and that those who refused to " train up children in t
way they should go" must take the responsibility.
The board, after other business, separated.

NOTHER FATAL CAISUALTY AT B.Br,
MALLY 4INE.

WREXIIAIi, Thursday Night.—Upon revisiting tilde
scene of the late fatal accident at. Bryn-Malty mine
_te
morning we found a larger crowd than yesterday. `ll'
same anxious' expression told the spectator at a glal,
that the water in the workings had not been sufficient Jf
reduced to allow of a descent being made in search et
their missing comrades. The cage was still lifting 00,
immense volumes of water at every stroke, but th
engine which is ordinarily used for keeping the mine del
was idle in consequence of a lamentable accident whic.,
occurred last evening. About 8 o'clock, the chief engi
neer, Robert Kenrick, had descended the pumping 00'ft a short distance for the purpose of changing the buckets'
and was engaged in that duty when suddenly the capstan
chain broke, and with some other gearing fell upon hir°,l

His body was got out the same evening, and conveyed

four or five children to deplore their loss. Ever since
the inundation of the mine, the pump to which he Wagattending had been worked at a great pressure, making
EOUle 12 strokes a minute, and raising 60 gallons of water
per stroke. The wear of the buckets must have Wea
very great and necessitated their being replaced, but
there was no reason to believe that any other part of the
machinery bad been weakened by the extraordinary ger'
vice demanded of it. With the chain which caused
Kenrick's death a rod bad also become displaced, and at
noon to day had not been recovered. It is expeoted that,
the pumping by this meam; however, be resumed

Tat CPLOPS IN NORTHUMBERLAND.—NEWCASTLE'
UPON-TYNE, Thursday Night.—We have had two
charming autumnal days, u ith a prospect of continued
line weather. Farmers arc busy in every part of this
county where wheat is ont, drying 2nd carting what is
in F:t ck s, and cutting down the standing corn. Six or
flight days more of fine weather would complete the bar
vest. Tbere is no quastion that what is now being
gathered is a good deal damaged by the late storms, but
there is every prospect that it will be got into the stack-
yard in a better condition than might have been con-
templatA some four or five days ago. If many of the
farmers bad not adopted that system of economy known
as " saving at the tap and losing at the bunghole" many
fine crops might have been secured iu the stackyard
before the storm came on. It must be very mortifying
to them, and it is to be hoped will be a warning in future,
as they are leading their damaged crops home, to see the
1 rickyards of their neighbours, who have pursued 11,
sounder and more liberal policy, well stored With the
t well-harvested fruits of their industry and forethought.

The Bank of England Return for the week end-
ing the 4th inst. is exceedingly unfavourable, as
will be seen by the subjoined particulars. In the
bullion the decline is nearly a million sterling,
owing to the withdrawal on account of the Bank
of France. The other securities, and the reserve
of notes, in consequence of the severe pressure for
money, have undergone a material change. The
next statement, however, is likely to be still more
unsatisfactory.

consequence of- large purchases of stock for invest-

not the case. Consols have been as high

In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous no change
