The Genoa Gazette has the following from Rome, 22d
ult.:—" The POPE has come to the resolution to perpe-
tuate, by a gold medal, the remembrance of the assist-
ance afforded to him while in exile at Gaeta by the re-
presentatives and the ministers of the foreign Govern-
ments. The design for this medal has been confided to
M. N. CERBARA. It represents on one side the chateau
of Gaeta, and on the other a monumental epigraph.
Only 16 of these medals will be struck off, or only two
or three more than the number of ministers who accom-
panied his HOLINESS, after which the die will be broken
up. Each medal will bear the
whom i
namet
is en
of
intended."
The voy extra-
ordinary or the minister for
The Lombardo Veneto, of Milan,, of the 26th ult.,
states that the first meeting of the Milan,,
charged
ftroeecarry into execution the measures for establishing a
port at Venice assembled on the previous day.
The Venice Gazette quotes a letter from Rome, of the
25th ult., stating that M. DE RAYNEVAL has communi-
cated to the Holy See a document addressed by the
three Roman Princes, FILIPPO DORIA. PAMPHILI, MARIO
I MAsSI3IO,. and LORENZO SFORZA CESARINI, to the PRE-
SIDENT of the French Republic, in which they recom-
mend the total exclusion of prelates and cardinals from
public offices, which, in their opinion, should be granted
to members of the Roman nobility. The three Princes
offer to assume the secular Government, and declare that
public opinion would s.ide with them.

FIRE IN REGENT-STREET.--Yesterday afternoon,
shortly before two o'clock, the neighbourhood of Regent-
street and Oxford-street were thrown into some confusion
by the outbreak of a fire in the premises of Messrs. T.
F. Beale and Chappell, music publishers to her Majesty,
201, Regent-street, and 67, Conduit-street. The frontage in
both streets is of considerable extent, and from the fact of
the disaster commencing in one of the warehouses on the
basement, the destruction of the immense pile of premises at
first appeared inevitable. In less than ten minutes after
the fire was discovereddntsteeNn,edreatthli

MURDER OF A POLICEMAN AT VAUXHALL.—Eight
men, James M'Elligatt, John Heckey, Patrick Cane, Dennis
Harrington, John Fahey, William Burke, Dennis Shanahan,
coal porters and labourers, employed at the Gas Works,
Vauxhall, were placed at the bar of the Lambeth Police-
court yesterday, before Mr. Elliott, for the wilful murder of
Henry Chaplin, a constable in the L division of police (77),
in Vauxhall-walk, that morning. It appears that the pri-
soners were making a great noise in Vauxhall-walk at about
one o'clock in the morning, and that when remonstrated
with by deceased, who was on duty, the prisoner Heckey
threw at him a " clinker" weighing 41bs., which struck him
on the skull. The deceased then drew his staff and struck
Heckey, when Cane rushed at deceased and struck him a
desperate blow on the left side of the head with a heavy
stone which he held in his hand. The prisoners and their
companions continued assaulting the unfortunate man with
" clinkers" until he was rescued by his brother policemen
and carried to Guy's Hospital, where he died from the in-
juries he had received. The prisoners were remanded. The
police produced two handkerchiefs full of large clinkers,
which had been flung at the head of the unfortunate
deceased.
THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION IN SvTTO
TUNNEL.—PRESTON-lIReeN, MONDAY.—The adjourned it.•
quest was resumed this morning at the Red Lion Inn. The
solicitor and officers of the company were in attendanee, and
so also was Captain Laffan, C.E., on the part of Govern-
ment. On behalf of the directors the solicitor stated, that
they were most anxious to offer every aid in their power to
a full inquiry, and they would call their :servants in any
order the coroner might think fit. After some lengthenel
evidence had been taken, eliciting, however, no new facts,
the hour of five arrived, and it being obviously impossible to
finish the inquiry to-night, the inquest was adjourned until
to-morrow at ten o'clock, A.M. Mr. Monk, the barrister, has
been in attendance on behalf of the company. Intelligence
has been received that four or five others of the sufferers ;are
not expected to survive many hours.
