THE PAPAL STATES.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROME, iNIARCH 19.

A horrible murder, which has caused a great sensation,
occurred on Wednesday evening at the Piazza Fiammella,
in Rome. Major Fiocchi, a field officer in the Pontifical
Artillery, was returning from the barracks late in the even-
ing, and on entering his house was stabbed to the heart
on the staircase, before he had time to ring the bell or
summon assistance. His servant, alarmed by his groans,
arrived in time to find him alive, and at once summoned
the surgeon and the parish priest. Major riccchi's state
was found to be hopeless, but he retained his senses to the
last, and received the last rites of the Church with great
calmness and devotion. He had recognised his murderer,
but refused to name him. "May God forgive him,
as I do," he said, " and bring him to repentance."
These were his last words, and no remonstrances
could induce him to give a clue to the police.
A terrible explanation of this reticence was found next
day, when a person, to whom suspicion was directed
by Fiocchi's servants, was arrested with a blood-stained
knife still in his possession. He confessed the crime and
its cause. He himself was a cmiale," or server of writs,
and he states that he was employed to murder Fiocchi by
the brother-in-law of the latter, an " avvoento," who
had married his sister, and concerning whose mar-
riage portion there lied been a family quarrel
of long standing. Poor Fiocchi had no other
enemy, and the murder was evidently not the
work of a common robber or of the vengeance
of any political sect. The advocate was immediately
arrested, and both he and the actual perpetrator of the
crime will be tried immediately. The funeral took place
yesterday at St. Andrea della Valle, in presence of an im-
mense concourse of persons, and with the .attendance of
all the regiment of Artillery, as well as General Kanzler
and his staff. The horse of the deceased was, according to
Roman military usage, draped in black, and led behind
the coffin.

The Pope has addressed a brief to the whole Christian
world, conceding a plenary indulgence to all persons who
shall assist at mass and receive Holy Communion, being
penitent for and confessed of their sins, on the• 11th of
April, in unison with his own jubilee, or fiftieth year
mass, to be offered that day at St. Peter's. Thig brief is
dated the 10th of March, and is given under the Ring of
the Fisherman, a mark of great solemnity. _

One of the most singular incidents of the present Holy
Week is the arrival of a large band of Hungarian gypsies,
eighty in number, to see the Pope, and to witness the
ceremonies. Their chiefs were received by his Holiness
yesterday, and formed a most singular novelty in the
ever•curions crowd of St. Peter's. Their wild but
handsome features, black plaited tresses of hair, velvet
dresses trimmed with Astrachan wool, long knives,
and immense silver buttons and chains, were a striking
contrast to the civilisation around them. No
one knows why, or whence, or how they came ;
but they are encamped outside the Porta Cavalleggeri,
are visited by all Rome, and are perfectly well conducted.
Some of the women are singularly beautiful after the true
gipsy type—never seen save in the countries where the pure
Romany caste is rigorously maintained, and where its
blood is never mixed with that of the European races, as
in Spain and Hungary. A gentleman, giving a small coin
to one of the tribe, whom he mistook for a beggar, was
nearly beaten by the men who witnessed the insult.
The King of Italy has decided on offering for sale the
beautiful Villa Ruffinella, near Trascati, and the Palazzo
di Ferenzo, or old Tuscan Embassy, in Rome. The reason
of this step is the pressing need of ready money felt by the
sovereign, especially since his morganatic marriage with
the daughter of a drummer, and the necessity of providing
for his numerous children by her, whom. he has acknow-
ledged and legitimatised. He is now placing large sums
for this purpose in foreign securities.

THE DIVISION ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

The division list on the second reading of the Irish
Church Bill shews that there were 623 members
in the House when the division took place. This
includes the four tellers—Mr. Glyn and Mr.
Adam for the Ayes, and Mr. Noel and Mr. Dyke
for the Noes—and the Speaker. Only three Conservatives
voted with the Government, viz., Lord Bingham (Mayo),
Mr. Orr-Ewing (Dumbartonshire), and Colonel Vande-
leur (Clare). On the other hand, six Liberals sided
against their party—Mr. BriEcoe (West Surrey),
Sir R. Clifton (Nottingham), Mr. Dalway (Carrickfergus),
Mr. W. H. Maxwell (Kirkcudbright), Sir Roundell
Palmer (Richmond), and Mr. Saunderson (Cavan). Of
the three Conservatives who went with the Government,
two of them—Lord Bingham and Colonel Vandeleur—
were in the House last session, but only Lord Bingham
then voted with the Liberals, Colonel Vandeleur absenting
himself from the House. The third Mr. Orr-
Ewing- was first elected for Dumbartonshire at
the recent general ele .tion ; and, although returned as a
Conservative, announced that he should support Mr.
Gladstone on the Irish Church question. Of the six
Liberals who voted with the Conservatives, four—Mr.
Briscoe, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Saunderson, and Sir
Roundel' Palmer—were members of the Rorie last
year, and the three former then, as now, registered
their votes against their party. On that occasion Sir
Roundell Palmer did not walk into the division lobby. Mr.
I)alway, who was returned WI a Liberal Orangeman, suc-
ceeded in defeating Mr. Torrens, a thick-and-thin Conser-
vative, but it was not exactly known which way he
would go upon this question. He is announced
as a Liberal Conservative, and in favour of " a considerable
reform" in the Church. The other Liberal—Sir R.
Clifton—declared on the hustings at Nottingham that
although he came before the electors as an advanced
Radical, he was not in favour of the policy of Mr. Glad-
stone on the Irish Church. Mr. Butler-Johnstone, who
last year went with the Liberals, now absented himself
from the division.

In the great division on Saturday morning, April 3rd,
18G3, the numbers voting were 605, thus skewing that 18
more members recorded their opinions onWednesday morn-
ing than on that occasion. Mr. Gladstone's majority was
then 60; it is now nearly doubled-118. Amongst those
who were absent in the first division last year, but now
voted with their party, were Sir George Grey, Sir
George Colthurst, and Mr. Pim. The following seats are
now vacant, which were formerly filled by—

Besides these, the Hon. Percy Wyndham was granted
leave of absence (owing to the death of his father), thereby
showing that the Conservatives had practically nine seats
vacant, while the Liberals had only six. Neither Mr.
Hurst nor Mr. Aldridge (who polled an equal number of
votes at Horsham), went into the division lobby. Taking
into consideration, therefore, the number of seats vacant,
the leave of absence granted to Mr. Wyndham, and the
prevention of the Horsham member from voting, there
are 639 members accounted for, leaving 19 absentees.
Various causes can be assigned for those who did
not take part in the division. Mr. Berkeley, the member
for Bristol, has been in a precarious state of health
for some time. Mr. Bass has also been suffering from
severe indisposition. Mr. Butler-Johnstone has had to
fly to the Continent, in order to recruit his health. Earl
Grosvenor's absence is explained by the death of his
infant child ; and Mr. Harvey Lewis probably did not
vote in consequence of the appeal to come on in the
Chancery Courts. Mr. Cawley, who won a seat for
the Conservatives at Salford, has been unwell for
several weeks ; and a similar cause kept away
Mr. Du Pre (one of Mr. Disraeli's colleagues). Although
Sir Robert Peel recorded his vote last year in favour of
the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and, withal, has
been a constant attendant throughout the whole of the
psesent debate, his name does not appear in the division
list. The two members for Oldham, Messrs. Hibbert and
Platt—who were declared duly elected on Tuesday--has-
tened to London in order to vote ; but Mr. Dickson, who
was also declared duly elected for Dover on the same day,
did not put in an appearance. The other Liberals absent
were Colonel Kingscote (West Gloucester), and Mr.
Magniac (St. Ives), who are both suffering froth the effect of
accidents in the hunting-field; and Mr. Williams (Merioneth-
shire). TheConserratives show the greatest number of absen-
tees, for besides those already mentioned, there were Mr.-
' T. Baring (Huntingdon), Mr. Richard Bright (East
Somerset), Mr. Drax (Wareham), Mr. Malcolm (Boston),
and Colonel Wright (Nottingham).
The majority included four Beaumonts, four Russells,
three Bruces, three Cavendishes (including the Marquis
of Hartington), three Rothschilds, and three Vivian& In
the minority there were five Smiths, four Egertons, four
Ilamiltons, three llardys, and three Lowthers. The
four members for the City of London threw their weight
in the Ministerial scale, as well as the three members for
Birmingham, and the three representatives for Glasgow.
Mr. Birley, the Conservative member for Manchester, did
not venture to record his vote, but his two Liberal col-
leagues went with the majority. Liverpool and Leeds
balanced each other, three Liberals and three Conserva-
tives voting each way. Lord Stanley, although he did
not speak in the debate, went with his party.
The following Liberals who last year went with the
Conservatives are not now members of the Howe, viz.,
Sir J. Matheson, Lord Cremorne, Mr. H. B. Baring, and
Mr. James Wyld. These were balanced by the following
four Conservatives who went with the Liberals, hat who
are not now in the Bougie of Commons—Colonel DFune,

PuLIOE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

PORTICO ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Leech, oakum picker,
was charged before Mr. Knox with being in possession of
some antique coins, stolen from the house of Mrs. Hart,
No. 18, Berkeley-square, whose house was entered and
robbed on the 16th inst.

Mr. W. Scrivener, watchmaker and jeweller, of Storey's-
gate, said that on Monday evening the prisoner came and
offered two dozen antique coins for sale, saying, in
answer to his questions, she had had them in her posses-
sion for years, and that they were found while pulling
down the Nag's Head public-house in Tothill-street. Not
being satisfied with her answers ho sent for the police.
A sergeant of the B Division said that the prisoner was
taken before the magistrate at the Westminster Police-
court and discharged, and the coins onlercd to be detained
for a month.

Sergeant Gould said that he rezeived the coins from the
Westminster Police-station, and On taking thorn to Mrs.
Hunt she Hentified them as her property, and as a portion
of the property which had been taken from her house. Ho
appyehended the prisoner, and she then said that she
picked them up at the corner of Chapel• street on the
morning of Monday last. He went to the address the
prisoner gave, and found that all sorts of low characters
lived in the house.

Mrs. Hatt having identified the coins as her property,
md having- &;..ted that they funned pact of the tui;sin.;

prep,rty,
Mr. Knox asked Mrs. Hart whether she had missed
other property besides coins, and she said that she had,
sod that her house had been entered by means of the
portico.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner.
THE NEWS BOYS.— Samuel Thorn, James Concher, and
Frederick Concher, three lads who sell papers in Regent-
ei-.-cus, were charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly
conduct and using obscene language.
Mr. Scarth appeared for the prisoners.
Sergeant Jeffery, 21, said that at half-past six the pre-
vious evening he was on duty in the Regent-circus, when
ho saw Thorn, who as well as the others sell papers, run
after a gentleman, and on tolling him to desist he made
use of a vile express on towards him, and the other pri-
soner made use of a similar expression between them-
selves, and as there had been great complaints from the
inhabitants he took them into custody, and some of the
inhabitants were present. _ _ _

In answer to Mr. Scarth, the sergeant said that papers
had been sold at the same place for 10 years, but that since
the halfpenny papers had coins out the numbers of ven-
dors had increased to as many as 30 of a night. He had
cautioned the lads that they must not run in front of pas-
sengers. There was a great deal of competition amongst
the lads. He was positive that some of the language was
made use of to him, and some between themselves.
Police-constable Alfred Hunt, 166 0, gave similar
evidence.

Mr. John Frederick Marchant, of 293, Regent-street,
complained of the nuisance he, in common with other
tradesmen, suffered, and said that of an evening the pave-
ment was blocked up, and persons prevented entering the
shops.
Mr. Knox said it must be a monstrous bore, no doubt.
Mr. Scarth addressed the magistrate on behalf of the
prisoners, and said that he thought, under the circum-
atances, that if the prisoners were warned it would be suf-
ficient.
Mr. Knox said that such cases were more trouble to deal
with tba.n many others. A little time ago a number of
Inver girls were brought before him, seven or eight of
them at a time, for blocking up tradesmen's doors. At
first he discharged them, and hit on the plan that if
they sold their flowers separately they would not in
any way be interfered with ; and if the newsboys acted
separately, and did not curse and swear and make nse of
beastly language, they would not be interfered with, but
thirty of them together was too many.
Thorn said he had sold papers at the place for ten years.
Mr. Knox said that what he should require the prisoners
to do was to find a surety of L 5 each.
