ROME.

Tne following letter has been received from Rome
dated the 14th inst. :—" The corvette the Immacu-
late Conception has quitted Ancona for Venice,
whence she will bring eight pieces of cannon
and 30 horses for the Papal army, a gift from
the Duchess of Parma. Other cannon, sent as
presents by German princes, are expected, and
it is asserted that the King of Prussia is about
to send the Pope 3,000 Minie rifles. The Viscount
de Villele has arrived in Rome, with his two sons,
who have enlisted in the Papal army. The Viscount
has had an audience of the Holy Father, who has
appointed him a Chevalier of the Order of St>
Gregory. The Papal Government had ordered the
arrest of M. Tittoni, a brother of Louis Tittoni, who
was banished from Rome on the 19th of March ; but
M. Tittoni had taken refuge in the French Academy
The Director of Police then wrote a letter to the
French Ambassador, in which he told him that M.
Tittoni had sought shelter at the French Academy,
an inviolable sanctuary, and he requested the
Ambassador to indicate some mode of arresting M.
Tittoni without violating the asylum he had chosen.
The French Ambassador replied that he had not been
aware that M. Tittoni had sought shelter in the
French Academy, but that he would compel him to
quit it. M. Tittoni, who was conscious of not
having committed any crime, then surrendered him-
self to the governor of the prison of St. Michael.
The Roman journal has announced that among

the priests at Bologna, seven only assisted at the '
7e Deunz chanted for the reception of King Victor
Emmanuel. The Municipal Junta of Bologna has
voted a gold medal to one of them, the Canon Bonta,
for having rendered to Cm3ar what was due to
Cesar, and to God what is due to God. The advo-
cate Guemarelli has published a book entitled " I
lutti dello A 5 tato Romano—l'avenire della come di
Roma." It appears from this book that from the
23d May, 1849, to the 23d May, 1857, 186 indi-
viduals were sentenced to death by Austrian court-
martial in the Legations, and that all were shot at
Bologna. It appears, moreover, that 90 other in-
dividuals were likewise sentenced to death by the
same tribunals, and executed in other towns not in
the Legations. M. Guemarelli gives the Christian
and surnames of these individuals, the offences of
which they were accused, and date of their
execution. This indeed is a very sad souvenir
of the Austrian occupation of the Romagnas—an
occupation which has opened an abyss between the
population and the Papal Government. What a
difference between that and the French occupation
of Rome. The present which the Palatine Guard
is about to make to the Pope is a tiara of the value
of 20,000 f. For a corps composed of only 500 men
it is not a contemptible offering. One officer gave
1,500 f. for his contribution. The public were im-
patiently waiting the publication of a political
pamphlet by the Abbe Passaglia, an ex-Jesuit. It
was at press, but the censors suppressed it after
having perused it. 300,000 crowns were paid into
the Treasury yesterday, which were collected in
England and America as St. Peter's pence."

WILLIS'S .ROODIS.

On Saturday morning Herr Charles Oberthur
gave another of those delightful concerts for which
he has been before so justly celebrated. The
arrangements were admirable, and the programme
was so varied that there was none of that monotony
which too often mars the effect of so many public
entertainments. Miss Goddard's presence was
a great treat to the audience, and the duet which
she performed with Herr Oberthur was the best,
and most attractive moreeau of the programme.
The nocturne for three harps was also a very
charming composition ; and it was interesting to
notice the remarkable efficiency displayed by the
performers on an instrument which is so often neg-
ligently played upon. All lovers of instrumental
music must have been pleased on Saturday, for
there were Herr Lies, Herr Lidel, and Signor
Regondi. There were also some singers, whose
skill contributed to the amusement of the hour ; but
the advantage was with the instrumental part of
the affair. The concerts of this celebrated harpist
are always ranked among the most brilliant and
fascinating of the hosts of like entertain-
ments that abound in the season, and this
one was not inferior to the others. It would have
been difficult to meet with better taste in the design
or more skill in the execution of the numerous
morceaux selected for the harp; and those who do
not in general desiderate that instrument must
have been pleased with so many charming exhibi•
tions of its merits. Ile fashionable assembly who
filled the room were evidently highly pleased with
the entertainment, and nearly all present remained
till the conclusion of the performances.

There was rather an increased supply of foreign stock en
offer in to-day's market, and amongst it were some very
prime beasts from Spain.
_ _

Compared with Monday last, the supply of home-fed
beasts here this morning was moderately good, but the
general quality of the stock was by no means first-rate.
Most breeds moved off slowly, at about Thursday's decline
in value. The best Scots and crosses, however, were worth
5s 43 per 81bs.

The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,500 Scots, crosses, and short
horns—from other parts of England, 450 various breeds ;
and from Scotland, 9 Scots. No supplies reached us from
Ireland.

The show of most kinds of sheep was on the increase.
The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at 6d per Blbs less
money than on Monday last. The top quotation was 6s
per Sibs.

There was a moderate sale for lambs, at is to is Gd for
Down, and Gs to Gs 3d for Dorset and Isle of Wight qua-

lities.

We had a good sale for calves on easier terms. The best
veal sold at 5s Gd per 81bs.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very scanty supply of English wheat was on offer in
to-day's market. For both red and white qualities there
was a fair, though not to say active demand, at quite Mon-
day's advance in the quotations.
Upwards of 20,000 quarters of foreign wheat having
come fresh to hand, that description of produce was less
active; nevertheless prices were well supported.
Floating cargoes were in fair request, on former terms.
We have to notice a slow inquiry for barley. In the
quotations, however, no change took place.

his expenses, and urging that his pay was inadequate to his
expenditure. I looked to see what the right hon. gentle-
man had done. I found that all the other members of the
then Board of Admiralty expressed strong opinions that

the pay should be increased, but when the memorial
reached the right hon. baronet I only found the word
" read." That was all the notice he then took of a very re-
spectful memorial which was laid before him. I only want
to show that my right hon. friend when out of office, and

with full leisure to think over these matters, is bringing

forward cases with which he should have dealt himself when

he was at the Admiralty. As to this very memorial, what
has the present board done ? It was unfortunately laid be•.
fore them after the estimates had been prepared, but the
Board made a minute that in the next estimates the case of

he captains should be dealt with, and at the beginning of

next year we shall be prepared to propose some allowance
for officers in command of ships. The right hon. gentleman
made a comparison between the pay of officers in the French
and English navies respectively. But again my right hon.
friend tells the house what is certainly interesting, butwhat
is not complete. The captains in the English navy get al-
lowances of plate, linen, &c., which are not granted in the
French navy, and those allowances must be taken into con-
sideration in instituting a comparison between the pay of
those respective services. The hon. member for Devonport
alluded to the time passed in the Coastguard service being

by the Admiralty proposal allowed to count as one year in
three. I would ask my hon. and gallant friend, a distin-

guished officer who had been all his life at sea, whether he
thinks that officers serving in the Coastguard are entitled to
count their time as respects superannuation exactly as if
they were serving on distant foreign stations, many of
them unhealthy and very expensive ? I say the idea is
perfectly monstrous. It would be unjust to the officers on

POISONING CASES IN LIVERPOOL—LIVERPOOL,
Monday.—Thomas Winslow, who is charged with having
poisoned four persons by having administered antimony to
them, was again brought before Mr. Raffles, the stipendiary
magistrate, at the police court to-day. Mr. Aspinall, bar--
rister, who is prosecuting on behalf of the Crown, applied
for another postponement of the case, on the ground that
the extensive series of analyses being made by eminent
chemists was not yet completed. Mr. Cobb opposed this
application, as these adjournments would entail the neces-
sity of the trial being delayed to the winter assizes, instead
of taking place at the ensuing summer assizes. Mr. Aspi-
nall replied that the postponement of the trial would be le
the advantage of the prisoner, as it would give time for the
preparation of his defence. He declined to give any pledge
as to when the case would be proceeded with ; and the
prisoner was remanded for another week.

meat of M. BILLAULT was then brought under the
notice of the Council of State by M. EXILE OLLI-
TIER, one of the deputies of Paris. It was on
this occasion that M. BAROCHE, the President,
deemed it self-contradictory on account of its

" stupidity." But M. DE LA GUERONIERE, himself
a councillor, did not venture a denial. The Mont-
teur published the debate. M. LEYMARIE then
availed himself of a press law, which requires any
journal which has "indicated" an individual, to
allow him fair space to defend himself, and sent
round a letter, in legal form, demanding its inser-
tion. The Ministers sent round an order to
the papers not to publish the letter, and now M.
LEYMARIE has no means of bringing the matter to

a public issue but that of prosecuting the news-
papers for not inserting the letter in accordance
with the law; when, of course, their plea will be
that they were ordered not to do it.
So now stands this precious business. And, any-
thing more humiliating to an " Empire," most of

our readers will think it is hardly possible to con

ceive. It is an open confession that all genius and
talent must either enlist itself amongst the corps of
Imperial laureates, or be silent. France is fond of
classical examples; she will surely think of none so
appropriate as the description of the reign of
DOMITIAN by the inimitable historian of the deeds
of AGRICOLA. Can such repression last ? Is so
great a people—for a great people after all the
French are—so degraded that it will submit to the
compulsory silence of all its most able men, and see
none but flatterers or revilers allowed towrite ? The
noblest instinets of our nature demand that the doc-
trine of M. BILLAULT should be to the empire the
handwriting on the wall. It is a confession that,
weighed in the balances of talent and impar-
tiality, it is found wanting.

NAPLES AND SICILY.

Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether information had been received that, to avoid.
a civil war, the King of Naples had ordered the whole of
Sicily to be evacuated ? The hon. gentleman also inquired
whether the noble lord had received any information that
the King of Sardinia had sent an aide-tie-camp to General
Garibaldi to request him not to make any attack against the
Neapolitan mainland ?
Lord J. RUSSELL—I have received a telegram from her
Majesty's Minister at Naples, saying that the King of Naples
had ordered that Messina and other parts of Sicily, still
occupied by h's troops, should be evacuated. With respect
to the hon. gentleman's second question, I have to say that
the Neapolitan Minister, at present in London, informed
me that the Neapolitan Envoy at Turin had had an inter-
view with Count Cavour, and after that interview, the King
of Sardinia sent an aide-de •camp to Sicily with a message
to General Garibaldi. What the purport of the mesaage
was I am not informed.
MAIL PACKETS.
Mr. P. O'BRIEN asked the Secretary to the Treasury,
whether, prior to the granting of any future subsidy to any
contractor for ocean postal service, it is the intention of her
Majesty's Government to demand an undertaking that dis-
tinctions of race or colour should not be made by the ser-
vants of such contractors as regards the treatment of pas-
sengers upon vessels performing such cervices.
Mr. LAING believed that no principle was more settled.
than that any subsidy given for the performance of the pos-
tal service should be confinedexclusively to the object of the
conveyance of the mails. With regard to the passenger or
merchandise traffic carried on in the mail packets, the Go-
vernment had no more responsibility in connection with it
than in the case of any other class of vessels. He had no
reason to think it likely that the established principle in
this matter would be departed from by any future Govern-
ment.

COASTGUARD SUPERANNUATIONS.
Mr. WATLINGTON asked the Secretary of the Admi-
ralty whether the case of the civilian chief officers in the
Coastguard service, appointed prior to the 4th of August
1829, had been under the consideration of her Majesty's
Government, and whether it was intended to grant any
additional retiring allowance to those officers ?

Lord C. PAGET said the civilian chief officers of. the
Coastguard service had superannuations granted to them in
accordance with the Civil Service Superannuation Act. He
believed their grievance was that they were not put upon
the same footing as to pay and superannuation as those
officers belonging to the navy who were liable to by called
to active service at any moment. It was not the intention
of the Admiralty to propose any such additional retiring
allowance as that referred:to in the hon. members's question.

ARIEL ROWING. CLUB.

The gentlemen of this club rowed a pair-oared race yes-
terday, or rather finished an undecided one from the 10th
inst. The distance was Putney to Hammersmith, the prizes
silver cups :
Messrs. Westell and Jones; Pattison, coxswain (red).... 1
Messrs. Rowbery and Hopton ; Hall, coxswain (green) 2
The last pair had the lead for half a mile, when the other
came up, and a desperate struggle ensued for a mile, both
being level all that time. At length Red got the best of it,
and won by a length.
