The Minister of P inance at Rome has issued a
notification, dated the 24th ult., announcing that the
paper money of the late Republican Government, re-
presenting 24 baiocchi (about 45 centimes), will
continue to be received at all public offices until the
14th of August ; after that date they will continue
to be received at the Ministry of Finance at Rome
until the 24th ; after which they are to be valueless.
A letter from Rome of the 24th ult. announces
that the Governor of Lugo has been arrested upon
the singular charge of being an accomplice of the
brigands who infest the country, not withstanding the
great zeal he displayed a few months ago against the
band of Il Passatore—a zeal which the Government
was on the point of rewarding with a medal of merit,
when these strange accusations were brought against
him.

A telegraphic dispatch received at Vienna, dated
Rome, 22d ult., says :

troops, has, without the permission of the Roman Go-
vernment, seized all the gunpowder in the powder ma-
gazines, sad has had it conveyed to the Castle of St.
Angelo, where he has roman Cannon pointed ox the city.
This act has increased the ill feeling which already ex-
isted against the French."

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BARNES RAILWAY-BRIDGE.—
On Friday evening, about seven o'clock, a lighterman,
named Winter, well known at Brentford and Richmond, was
taking two barges, fastened together, down the river at the
turn of the tide, both of which were empty, when, in passing
under the noble iron-girder bridge, which consists of only
three arches of immense span, and upon which the loop line
crosses the Thames, Winter intended to loosen one barge for
some purpose at present unexplained, and as they separated,
he fell between them, and the tide being at its turn from
high water, the depth was very great. The courageous ap-
prentice bent over to rescue his master, and in doing so fell
in, and had the narrowest escape of his life. The deceased
sank under one of the barges and never rose again. Drags
have been in constant use, but the body is net recovered, and
deceased has left a wile and pix children.
