Advocate TOMMASO Coasi, the counsel for GUER-
RAZZI, has written a letter, dated the 10th, to the
Bilancia of Genoa, denying the truth of the assertions
of that journal respecting the contents of the
book GUERRAZZI has written in his own de-
fence. Signor CORSI declares that GUERRAZZI
limits himself to the defence of his own personal
acts, and does not speak of Piedmontese in-
trigues, because there were none ; nor of Sir G. HA`
MILTON'S either, that gentleman having constantly
acted in the most honourable manner with a view to
promote the best interests of Tuscany. Signor CORSI
concludes by declaring that GUERRAZZI has never at-
tacked the constitutional system, to which he still
feels unabated attachment.

By a decree of the 9th his Holiness the POPE has
named Colonel FARINA Pro-Minister of War, and
entrusted him with the direction of that department,
Prince ORsINI having resigned his functions of Miais-
ter of War.

THE NEW ROAD AND THE OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS
--In consequence of the decision come to by the board of
directors of the parish of St. Pancras to close the New-
road, between the church and King'a-cross, prior to laying
down the granite paving, a deputation from the omnibus
proprie ors waited upon the vestry yesterday with a memo-
rial, praying that the thoroughfare should nut be entirely
closed, but that one-half should be paved at a time. Mr.
Elliot. one of the deputation, stated that he wee a proprietor
of the Kensington and Camden-town omnibuses, arid if the
route was closed it w,.uld involve a daily increase of mileage
of 2,400 miles, besides the extra expense of tolls, which
would amount to 401. per week. They already paid twenty
guineas per week toll t the Waterloo-bridge, which route
they were obliged to take in consequence of Blackfriars-
bridge being closed. There were 200 omnibuses on the
road. The chair Dan stated that although th board of di-
rectors had decided that the thoroughfare should be forth-
with closed, it was not intended to finally close it while the
weather remained dry. The application should be taken
into consideration, and everyth ng dune that could be to ob-
viate inconvenience to the pubic, or unnecessary loss to the
proprietors of public vehicles. The deputation thanked the
vestry and withdrew.
The Globe balloon ascended on Monday, at five
o'clock, from the Champ de Mars, taking up three horses,
upon which were mounted Madame Poitevin, M. Poitevin,
and M. Louis Deschamps. The intrepid aeronauts descended
at a quarter-past six o clock, at a farm in the commune de
Charvey, thirty-four kilometres from Paris. M. Levan, the
proprietor of the farm, invited the voyagers to dinner, and
to spend the night within his house. They returned to Paris
at two o'clock on Tuesday.—Daats.

Princess Lieven bas arrived at Baden. Before
leaving Germany she will, it is said, pay a visit to the Prince
de Mttternich.

HAMPTON COURT PALACE AND KEW GARDENS.—
According to a return just published, by order of the House
of Commons, the number of visitors to Hampton Court
Palace during the year 1850, was 221,119 ; of visitors to the
Royal Botanic and Pleasure-grounds at Kew, 179,627. The
visitors to Kew we find only numbered in the aggregate, but
those to Hampton Court are divided according to the months,
and the arrangement shows the result to agree with the
natural anticipation— summer exhibiting a vast majority
over the less clement and inviting seasons of spring, winter,
and autumn. January records only 879, February 1,284,
November 1,668, December 1,258 ; but July enumerates no
less than 58,164, and August, the next, though not a very
close approximation, 49,8`26; whilst September exhibits a
rapid decrease, recording but 25,390.
REPRESENTATIVE PEERS POR SCOTLAND.—The
new Act to regulate the elections of representative Peers for
Scotland has just been printed. It provides that a certifi-
cate from two Peers of Scotland shall be held to be formal
notice of the death of any representative Peer. Instead of a
proclamation for the election of a representative Peer being
issued 25 days before such election, 10 days shall be suffi-
cient. Peers of Scotland who vote by proxy may take the
oath before courts in Ireland and at other places. The title
of peerages in right of which no vote has been given for 50
years are not to be called at elections if the House of Lords
shall so direct.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Last evening the third
grand floral and agricultural fife of the season took place at
these gardens, on which occasion the weather was extremely
favourable, and the attendance of visitors more than usually
numerous. Considering the late period of the season the
flowers exhibited at this show were of a most attractive
character, and it was difficult to imagine that the ga;dtns Centrallßoulognee
