ESCAPE OF AN ITALIAN REFUGEE TO

LIVERPOOL.

By the screw-steamer Arno, which arrived at this
port from Italy last week, we had transported to our
shores an interesting refugee, in the shape of a mere
boy, sixteen
,years of ago, whose name, for obvious
reasons, we are not permitted to mention, who literally
had "to run his country to save his neck." . lialf as
hour before the Arno left Leghorn, he was. brought on
board concealed in a, sack, and placed for safety among
the provisions in the lazaret.
,The person in charge of
"the parcel" 'paid its passagemoney to England, hod
thus far was all Captain liaram knew about the mat-
ter at the time. On getting clear of the 'port, how-
ever, it turned out that "the Sack," like many of
those occasionally dropped in the Bosphorous, con-
tained a living freight; and a dark-eyed boy made his
appearance to claim the protection of the commander
of the vessel. His only credentials were an appeal
to the sympathies of human nature in assisting a
fellow-creature in distress, and a letter of introduction
to Messrs. M'Kean, M'Larty, and Co., of this town.
It appeared that this young gentleman and a number of
other precocious spirits had formed themselves into a
secret society or club, for the printing and circulation of
religious and political works, among which the distribu-
tion of the Bible, and pamphlets on the “ Freedom of
Italy," formed a prominent part. The authorities hav-
ing got wind of their proceedings, several of the mem-
bers were arrested and summarily shot, and to escape a
similar fate, our hero was embarked on board the Arno.
His parents knew nothing of his connexion with the
affair until startled by the appearance of the soldiers to
demand the person of their sou; and for a couple of days
previous to the Arno's arrival at Leghorn, he had been
removed from house to house in the suburbs of the city
to escape detection.—Liverpool Standard.

"appointo the days and hours for holding each of their courts
during the month of January, February, and March in the
said year ; and on or before the first day of every month
after the said month of January, the judges shall appoint
the days and hours for holding each of their courts during
the month next following the three months previously ap-
pointed, and a notice of such appointments shall forthwith
be put up by the clerk m some conspicuous place in the
court-house and in the office of the clerk; whenever any
day so appointed for holding the court shall be altered,
notice of such alteration and the time when it will take
effect shall be put up in some conspicuous place in the
court-house and clerk's office, provided that the judge may
from time to time hold additional courts besides those
hereinbefore required to be appointed. Two courts shall not
be held before the same judge in one day." It is to be hoped
that the time when the courts are to rise each day will be
stated, which notice would benefit all parties, and prevent
late sittings.
