Letters from Turin of the 28th ult, state that
the legal obstacles to the promulgation of an am-
nesty in favour of 10 or 11 individuals implicated
in the insurrection at Genoa in 1849_bad been re-
moved ; that there was consequently no objection
to the realisation of the geherous intentions of the
King, and that the decree of amnesty would shortly
appear.

regularity with which the steamers of this line
execute their contract, and suggest that, instead of
bi-monthly, the steamers should start weekly, and

Much excitement prevailed in the Legislature at
the passing of Mr. Cayley's resolutions in aid of the-
Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. In proposing
them Mr. Cayley showed that the whole of the
works remaining to be completed on the Ist of
April amounted, under agreement, to 316,0001.,
and would be finished in a few weeks. The
cost of the work completed was 7,862,4001., or
1,184,764/. more than the estimated cost. The
funds in the company's hands were—B shares,,
4300,0001. ; and B bonds, 400,0001. worth 85 per
cent. The company had been obliged to lay out
their money on auxiliary roads, which had reduced
the funds available to pay contractors. The con-
tractors had offered to give up their contract, upon
payment for work done, at a valuation. All the
funds of the company were required to finish the
work from Slatford to St. Thomas, and, therefore,
the proposition was made to allow them to issue
preferential bonds. lie concludes by urgibg the
necessity of completing the road, with a view to
the best interests of the prtWince. The resolutions
were carried by a majority of 6. .
The Toronto. Colonist says :—" It is quite im-
possible to predict whether the soheme' for aid- will
be.finatlly sanctioned: or not, as almost every day
