ITALY.

The Emperor of AusTnta. visited Como on the 23d,
and returned to Monza the same evening. On the
24th he again honoured Milan with a •isit, and pro-
ceeded to the new church of St. Charles, which had
been commenced under FRANCIS I. His BIAIIbTY
was accompanied by 35 generals.
The Papal Government is opposed to the projected
railway between Ancona and Bologna being com-
menced before a railway communication is established
between Rome and Ancona, as it well knows the
difference existing between the inhabitants of the
Bolognese parts and the Romnns, and is averse to
Bologna being connected to Ancona by that means ;
whilst the capital would remain perfectly cut off from
the legations with regard to railway communication,
and consequently would find its influences weakened
in a part of the State that is in general not to be con-
sidered loyally disposed. The Papal Government is,
besides, in principle, still opposed to innovations, and,
taking everything into consideration, it may confi-
dently be asserted that at present there is little pros-
pect of railways being constructed in the dominions
of the Church.

The number of Austrian troops occupying the
Roman States amounts to about 13,000 men.
Very extraordinary meteorological phenomena oc-
curred at Rome, on the 19th inst. Storm succeeded
storm without interruption throughout the day, and
the darkness was such that many of the inhabitants
had to light their lamps at noon, a thing unheard of
at Rome.

WYLD'fil MAP or THE PROPOSED RAILWAY TO
INDIA.—The Leviathan Geographer has issued a
small chart, showing the course of the proposed rail-
way, connecting Bombay with Ostend, in a line un-
broken, except by the narrow Bosphorus. From
the opposite bank to Constantinople it proceeds
through Asia Minor to Aleppo, and follows the stream
of the Euphrates to Bassora, whence it skirts the
Persian Gulf and the seacoast of Beloochistan, striking
southward to Surat and Bombay ; being the course
recommended by Mr. Alexander F. Campbell to the
Directors of the East India Company in the year
1845. There is certainly nothing impossible in the
scheme ; its main features can be clearly seen by an
inspection of this neat little map.
SHIPWRECK AID LOS% Or LIFE.—The British ship
Hindostan, Captain Itcallons, from Whitby, England, for
Quebec, foundered at sea, and in going down took with her
nine men, who all perished. On the 27th, Cape Pine, bear-
ing east, distant sixty miles, her boat, containing the captain
and six men of her crew, was fallen in with by the schooner
Martha Grenow, Captain Robbins, from St. John's, N. F., for
Boston, and the men were taken on board and subsequently
landed at Shelburne, N. S.—New York Tribune.
PARISH Or LAMBETH.--A public vestry meeting
of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Mary, Latnbeth, took
place yesterday morning at the Vestry-hall, Church-street,
to consider the propriety of erecting a new vestry-hall for
holding meetings and the transaction of parochial busi-
ness. A long and noisy discussion hsving ensued, the
resolution was carried by 59 to 52. It was then proposed
to establish public baths and washhousea in the parish,
which, after some discussion, was negatived by 39 to 24. A
poll was then demanded on each question, which will take
place to-day and two succeeding days, at the Horns Tavern,
lieunington.
