A letter from Florence, 19th inst., in the Opinione
of Turin, says—" In the night of Sunday last an
Englishman, named WALKER, was arrested, as well
as three or four Florentines, who were reading at his
house the Bible of DIODATI. This WALKER was a
great friend of Count GUICCIARDINI, who has been
temporarily exiled from Tuscany by order of the
police:'
Another journal, the Costituzionale, states
that Mr. WALKER was arrested on a charge of Pro-
testant propagandism, but after a short detention had
been set at liberty.
The Maritime Council of Health of Genoa has
ordered that all articles coming from Cuba shall be
subjected to the same quarantine as those from the
Brazils, in consequence of the yellow fever having
broken out in the former place. The same council,
having ascertained that the disease now prevailing in
the United State was the cholera, and not the yellow
fever, has reduced the quarantine on arrivals from that
country to six days.

The disease which had attacked the grapes in Na-
ples, Piedmont, Parma, Genoa, and Tuscany, had
manifested itself in the Roman dominions, near Tivoli,
Zagarolo, Chita Lavinia, and Vellettri.

The Pi. edmontese Gaze-lte of the 23d inst. quotes a

an earthquake (which lasted a few minutes) was felt
at Naples. Another shock was experienced at a quar-
ter to four.
