A letter from Rome, of the 10th, in the Risorgi-
Innate of Turin, states that extraordinary precautions
were taken on the preceding day, being the anniver-
sary of the proclamation of the Roman Republic, in
order to prevent manifestations; but that, except a
few tri-coloured Bengal lights, which were let off on
the hill of Santa Trinita and in the neighbourhood of
the Piaissa del Popolo, no disturbance occurred. The
painter GHIZZAURA, a Sardinian artist, maintained at
Rome by the Piedmonte3e Government for his im-
provement, having been imprisoned on suspicion of
having caricatured Genetal GEMEAII, the Sardinian
Consul immediately applied for and obtained his
release.

ENTERPRISE OF " THE FOURTH ESTATE."—On the
night when the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought for-
ward his Budget, he had not finished his address until past
seven o'clock, but by eight o'clock it was printed in The Sun
Evening Paper, and a number of copies were forwarded by
the nine o'clock train by the enterprising news agents,
Messrs. Clayton and Son, London, to Plowman's City Read•-
ing Room, where they were received by the snail-cart from
Steventon, a few minutes after twelve.--Jackson's Oxford
Journal.

LORD NEWRY.—The Newry Telegraph says that
accounts have been received from Lord Newry, and mem-
bers of his family, stating that his Lordship's health is now
considered very satisfactory.

COLOSSEUM.—Active preparations are now making
at this establishment for exhibiting Horner's original pano-
ramas of " London by Day," and " Paris by Night," which
must prove attractive to the great influx of strangers ex-
pected this year.
THE CRYSTAL PALACE AND THE NAVY.—On
Sunday last the whole of the officers of her Majesty's ship
Cumberland, the new flag-ship now fitting at Chatham for
the West India station, visited the Crystal Palace in Hyde
Park, by special order of the Royal Commissioners. This
was a very graceful compliment, and paid to the officers, we
believe, at the suggestion of Sir George Seymour, as the
ship sails in March, and consequently they will have no
other opportunity
of visiting this wonder of the world.—
United Set-trice Gazette.

PRIVATE BUSINESS IN TILE HOUSE OF COMMONs.—
According to a report of a Committee of the House of Com-
mons, yeterday issued, it is suggested that a legal officer

Means, and to transaet the private business of the House of
Commons. It is anticipated that the additional expense will
amount to 1,0001. a year.

Dr

solved not to

caster Gazette.
LONDON ORHAAN ASYLUM.--Last night the annual
festival of this charity took place at the London Tavern,
where an excellent dinner was provided for about 120 guests,
who were presided over by Mr. Hoare. During the evening
the children of the
Asylum, to the number of 300, were
paraded round the dining-hall, and their healthy and cleanly
appearance excited general approbation. Subscriptions were
announced by the secretary to the amount of 1,55 e/. The
principal object of the institution is to provide for the orphan
children of parents who have been in respectable circum-
stances, and especially those who have lost their lives in the
service of their country, or in maritime and manufacturing
pursuits. Great attention appears to be paid to the educa-
tional department of the Asylum, and the results of this are,
it is said, visible in the steady and praiseworthy conduct of
most of those who have left it when their term there has
been completed. Many of these are now subscribers, and
even life governors. The funded property of the institution
does not much exceed 1,6001. a year, while the necessary
annual expenses are stated at 9,0001. The musical arrange-
ments of the evening were under the direction of Mr. G. Case.
Mr. G. K. Rickards, of the Oxford Circuit, has
been appointed to succeed Mr. Booth, as counsel to the
Speaker.
MACREADT AS MACHETH.--DI anticipation of the
" eminent tragedian's" farewell benefit on the evening of
Wednesday next, in this great ShaksPerian character, a
likeness of him has just been issued by Mr. Thomas 11.
Wilson. The lithographic sketch portrays William Charles
Macready as he appears when representing the royal mur-
derer, and to our thinking we have never witnessed a more
successful caricature.

The Duke of Beaufort, we have the pleasure to
state, was going on favourably last evening. The Marquis
of Worcester has left town for Badminton Park, to join the
haat,
