ITALY.

At Turin on the Bth the Navy Budget was pro -
posed. The Duputy PARENT said that the navy
ought to be reduced, as, from the geographical posi-
tion of the country, there was no necessity for its pos-
sessing a large navy, as in some other countries.
" The Ministry," he said, "should watch what was
going on at Dresden, where Austria would most likely
be called to take the Presidency of the Germanic
Confederation, and that power had always been the
enemy of Piedmont. To balance this the country
should seek an alliance with France." The Minister
replied, that since Piedmont had acquired Genoa it
had become a maritime power, and that so far from
the navy being reduced, it was expedient greatly to
augment it. M. CAVOURT then announced that the
Prince DE CARIGNAN had resigned his post of Corn-
mander of the Navy, considering it to be incom-
patible with that of commander of the National
Guard.

The Earl of Cardigan has taken the principal
suite of apartments at the Royal Hotel, Lowestoft, for three
months. His Lordship purposes receiving several distin-
guished fashionables during his sojourn there.
EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WOOLWICH.—(THIS DAY.)—
This morning a fire broke out in the premises of Mrs. Burch,
the Roe Buck Tavern, 43, Church-street, Woolwich. The
discovery was made by a police-sergeant of the R division,
who, in passing the premises, perceived smoke issuing from
the window shutters. At that time the whole of the resi-
dents were in their beds asleep, but fortunately they suc-
ceeded in effecting a safe retreat. The engines from her Ma-
jesty's dockyards, and two belonging to the Royal Artillery,
were soon on the spot, but the fire by that time had assumed
such a threatening aspect, that it was deemed advisable to
send to London for further assistance. The moment the ex-
press arrived in town Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the
1) section of Brigade, and Mr. Connorton, the superintend-
ent of the West of England Insurance-office, started, each
with an engine and powerful bodies of men. By that period
the flames were rising so high as to illuminate the country
for miles round. Plenty of water having been procured, the
firemen, military, and police set to work in a most praise-
worthy manner, and eventually succeeded in extinguishing
the conflagration, but not until the tavern and all it con-
tained were reduced to ashes, and the premises on either
side, belonging to Mr. Harwood, a broker, and Mr. Seer, a
grocer, were considerably injured by water. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
THE LATE ACCIDENT AT CaAmoND.---The efforts
being made for the recovery of the body of Mrs. Caddell are
still fruitless. During last week a lace cuff, the crown of
the bonnet, and one or two other small things belonging to
the dress which the unfortunate lady wore on the melan-
choly occasion, were all that could be found to reward the
unwearied exertions of those engaged on the seemingly hope-
less duty. The articles referred to were found floating near
the beach, and there is now no doubt that the body must
have been carried far out to sea.—Caledonian Mercury.
It is generally believed in naval circles that the
command of the Mediterranean fleet will be given to Admiral
Deans nuncios; and that the gallant officer will be sue-
ceeded as first " Sea Lord" of the Admiralty by Admiral
Elliott.—Morning Paper.
EMIGRATION OF MORMONITES FROM SHEFFIELD.
—On New Year's-day fifteen families departed from Sheffield
on their way to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, the El
Dorado of the Mormonite persuasion. They were expected
to sail from Liverpool on Saturday last, by the I3oadicea,
bound for New Orleans. From thence they proceed up the
river as far as Council Bluff, 900 miles north of St. Louis.
They will then prepare for the overland journey across the
plain to the Salt Lake Valley, a distance of 1,000 miles,
which has to be performed in waggons. Their overland
journey lies across a tract of country almost entirely destitute
of herbage, and many accounts have been received of the
suffering of emigrants while crossing it. It is expected that
a portion of the emigrants, who are provided with ample
means for the journey, will reach their destination in the
month of July or August; others, possessed of only a limited
amount of money, will have to remain at New Orleans or St.
Louis till they have accumulated a sufficiency to defray the
expense. Besides the families from Sheffield, parties are
also going by the same vessel from Rotherham, Masbro',
Whiston, &c.—Leeds Mercury.
THE LATE FLOOD.—Many and great damages have
been done by the late flood. At Askham, the river Lowther
rose to such a height that the mill was filled to the depth of
six feet before 12 o'clock, F.M. The meal arks and other ma-
chinery were floated from their places, and jumbled together
in confusion, every one more or less injured; the gable next
the river was split from top to bottom in many places, and
would evidently have fallen had not the outer or water-
wheel supported it. The cattle and horses in the stalls were
just able to keep their heads above the water, and the pigs
were swimming in the sties. About half-past one o'clock a
wall in front of the dwelling-house, which faces the river,
gave way, and the house immediately filled. The poor mil-
ler and family, consisting of a wife, seven children, and a
servant boy, had only time to escape through a back window.
They arrived at Mr. Rowland Wilson's, innkeeper, about two
o'clock, completely drenched with water. After rendering
every assistance in making them comfortable, Mr. Wilson
and others, with the miller, returned, in order, if possible, to
save the stock. The water had then a little abated, and in
a few hours they found that none had perished; yet the da-
mage done to the poor man is very great ; all the corn and
meal he had in the mill is either injured or destroyed, and
the mill itself is in such a dilapidated state that it will be
long ere its merry clack shall be heard again.—.Carlisle
Journal.

OPENING OF THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WIND-
soa CASTLE.—The state apartments were opened for the first
time to the public on Thursday week, since they were closed
for the purpose of carrying out the works for warming and
ventilation. We have been through the apartments, and so
far as we can see there has been very little alteration in the
appearance of the rooms. We observe that a handsome pen-
dant has been made in the centre of the Vandyke room this
is perforated for the ventilation, and will, when the chande-
lier is appended to it, be a considerable improvement to the
room. There does not seem any other architectural embel-
lishment that requires notice from us; but in all the rooms
there are vomitories for the warm air, and the genial warmth
of the rooms, as compared with the chilly damp of the ex-
ternal atmosphere, speaks forcibly ac to the efficiency of the
method adopted. We understand that the warming power
is sufficient to maintain these rooms at 60 degrees during the
most severe weather, thereby rendering them fit for occupa-
tion at all times, which was not formerly the case, owing to
there being only one fire-place for each room, the influence
of which, in ameliorating the temperature in cold weather,
could scarcely be felt.— Windsor Empress.

THE UNITED STATES "[AIL STEAM' SHIP OHIO.
—The United States mail steam-ship Ohio, from Chagres to
New York, left Havannah, ea route, on the 18th ult., with
300 passengers, when her first evolution blew out the head
of a cylinder and uncoupled the engines. She started again
on the 19th, with one engine, and made good headway until
the 22d, when she was struck with a heavy gale, breached
suddenly to, and, although saved by good seamanship, was
heavily strained and damaged, and lay to until the 23d. She
then got under way again, but sprung a leak at two o'clock
on that morning. The crew were unable to keep the water
down, and the fires were extinguished. Ten feet of water
was in the hold, all the pumps and passengers ware put in
requisition, and bailing 'was resorted to, which was con-
tinued until noon on the 24th, without cessation, until the
water was low enough to build up fires, and they reached
the wharf at Norfolk. The furniture was all broken, with
three of the iron braces, and the damage was not less than
30,000 dollars.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.—Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge, his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgb,
and the Princess Mary, yesterday visited the building in
Hyde-park. They were received and shown over the build-
ing by Colonel Reid, Mr. Dilke, and Mr. C4le. Mr. Fox

LORD PANMURE.—We are sorry to state that this
nobleman is at present in a very precarious state of health.
He has been almost constantly confined to his bed for a
week past, and has taken scarcely any sustenance during
that period, having sunk into a state of great weakness, and
unable to see any one except his medical attendant.-

LARGE Ox.—An ox, fed by Mr. Alex. Gibson,
Over Gogar, and sold by auction in the Edinburgh cattle-
market, on Wednesday, the 18th ult., and bought by Mt.
David Warwick, Rutherglen, after being slaughtered, weighed
105 stone 10 lbs. Dutch, or 132 stone 1 lb. imperial, sinking
offals. There was no ox exhibited at the late great Smith.
field and Midland counties cattle•shows which came within
many stones of the above weight, although most of them were
from a year to 18 months older. He was allowed to be the
finest and largest ox seen in Edinburgh market for many
years. His age was three years and seven months, and he
was sold for 401. 106.-. Scotsman.
