MODERN SOCIETY in ROME.
By .1- R. BETE, Esq., Author of" Tho IV abash."
"Mr. Beste's novel, which is not without interest, is mmie the
more valuable as a book by the abundance of the social and political
information contained in it. The book mainly calls attention to the
inner political life of. Rome. It abounds in anecdote and incident,
told as certain knowledge."—Examiner.
"This work is singularly interesting. It contains striking narra-
tives of most of the principal events that occurred from the acc-s-
-sion of Pio Nono to the occupation of tome by the French, with
spirited and truthful sketches of the leading characters who took
part in the polities of that memorable period."—Literary Gazette.

THE CHEAP NEWSPAPER PRESS.—Upon the repeal of
the newspaper stamp duty several cheap daily news-
papers were printed and issued in Nottingham. In a
short time most of them decliced ; not even the great
interest attached to the war in the Crimea could keep
them alive. The most spirited paper, however—the
Daily Express, as it was called, published at a halfpenny,
—survived and was printed daily until Wednesday last,
when it also died. In the "parting words" of this last
number the editor remarks, after speaking of its success
up to the present moment and also of its usefulness,
that the reason why it is not continued is—" simply
because there is no need for it." "And when one says,
Why not divert the Express into topics of general in-
tere4t ?'—tn be candid," says the editor, " we don't think
it w,,uld pay to do so ; and what is the use of being
martyrs to our whims?"

THE WEATHER.

The weather has been highly favourable since Sunday
last, when the wind, which had been blowing sharply
from the east and north for upwards of 6 weeks, veered
round to the south-west, and copious showers of rain
have been since fal:in4. It was a most welcome change,
and the effect on vegetation is at once remarkable and
c ,eer,ngr,. This morning is sunny, but the day is likely
to be showery.

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 10th, in the Univers,
says :—" Orders have been given to resume re-
cruiting for the two foreign regiments in the service
of the Holy See, and to increase the effective of
the native troops. The two foreign regiments at
present consist of from 4,500 to 5,000 men. One
of the battalions is in garrison at Rome, and every-
body admits that its discipline leaves nothing to
be desired. When instead of 5,000 men 10,000
or 12,000, presenting the same guarantees, shall
have been united under the standard of the Holy
See, the question on which the Congress of Paris
fixed its attention will be very nearly solved, and
then the withdrawal of the French troops from
Rome and of the Austrian from the legations may
be thought of. The Government of the Holy
Father has greater interest than any one in geeing
this evacuation promptly realised, and the anxiety
it displays to take advantage of the first chances
which the re-establishment of peace offers to com-
plete its armed force is the best proof of its inten-
tions on this subject. The commission charged to
perpetuate the souvenir of the accident of the 12th
April last has resolved that the room in which the
accident occurred shall be ornamented with
three frescoes—one representing the Pope ad-
dressing the pupils of the Propaganda in the
catacombs of St. Alexander ; the second, the fall-
ing in of the floor, and all the details of the drama
which ensued ; and the third, the chanting of a
Te Deum by the Holy Father in the church of St.
Agnes for his providential escape. The f4te of the
Ascension has been celebrated at St. John of Late-
ran with the accustomed pomp, and in presence of
a vast _number of the faithful. The blessing urbi
et orbi given there is perhaps more effective than at
St. Peter's. An innumerable multitude filled the
square and the environs, and French troops were
on duty during the ceremony."

JA 6 ERS.

mouth Citadel, and at two this afternoon he was at the
headquarters.„. of the corps at Maker Heights, near

that he had been directed by the War Secretary to state
that in consequence of the disorderly conduct which
Prevailed in some of the companies the whole of the 3d
Jager Corps was to be disbanded. They were, however,
expected to obey orders up to the last moment of their
Service. The Government bad determined to give each
hian 12 months' pay, and provide them with free pas-
sages either to Germany or America. Excepting a small
advance to purchase necessaries previous to embarkation
the whole of the pay would be given to them on arriving
at the place of their destination. It is stated that some
Jaye since the officers were informed, by a written com-
itunication, that they would receive three months' pay
when the corps was disembodied.
A. general Court-Martial was held to-day at Govern-
!nent•house, Mount Wise, on Sergeant Collins, belong.
ing to Captain S. Von Scuartzenhom's Company No. 3,
stationed at Drake's Island. He is accused of personal
acts of insubordination on the parade at Maker towards
the Commander of the Forces in the West, Major-
General Eden, and towards his own commanding
Officer, Colonel Bowles. The sentence is not yet pro-
-141-dgated. The prisoner is confined at Maker Heights.
The men of No. 6 Company who refused obedience
to Captain Axel Von Jensen, at Bovisand, have not had
their arms r.-stored to them, but continue under arrest
in the Citadel.
