ROME.

A letter from Rome of the 30th ultimo, in the
•
Debuts, says :
The great fete of St. Peter and St. Paul was yesterday
celebrated at Rome with the usual splendour. The pope
proceeded early in the morning down the royal staircase
in sedia gestateria, preceded by the colleges, the cardi-
nals, archbishops, bishops, and magistrates. On his en-
tering St. Peter's the choir struck up 2% est Petrus. His
Holiness then said mass,. supported by Cardinal de Sil-
vestri-as deacon, and by Prince de Latour d'Auvergne
Lauraguats, as sub-deacon. An immense concourse
filled the church. .

Another letter in the lndependance of Brussels
contains the following :
In consequence of the disturbances which have lately
taken place here between the French and Roman sol-
diers, General de Goyon published an order of the day,
bearing date the 25th of June, in which he informed
the troops and inhabitants of the city that any attack
on the soldiers of either army should be immediately
punished most severely. He reminds every one that
there is only one commander-in-chief of all the French
and Italian troops at Rome; that that commander was
he ; and that as such the same honours were to be paid
him as to the Pope and cardinals. It is unnecessary to
say that this order of the day has produced here an im-
mense sensation. The Pope, on the anniversary of his
coronation, increased by one-third the pay of the Swiss
guard, and reduced from 40 to 30 years the term of
service before they can be entitled to retire on full pay.

SPAIN.
The Madrid Gazette of the sth contains another
batch of royal decrees making nominations of
governors of provinces, also one accepting the resig-
nation by General Pavia of the post of director-
general of artillery. It was said that the Arch-
bishop of Toledo had received orders to return to his
diocese. The journals hostile to the Government
were the Discusion, a democratic organ, the Iberia
and Novedades, progressist, and the Leon Espanol,
Espana, and Parlament°, moderadoes. It was
at M. Isturitz's own desire that he was not sent as
ambassador to London, he thinking it necessary to
remain in Madrid to defend the acts of his govern-
ment. A letter from a semi-official source says
"Amongst the projects ascribed to the new govern.
ment is one which will obtain all suffrages. It is
to send 10,000 troops to Mexico to demand peremp-
torily reparation for the outrages committed 61
Spanish subjects, and in case of refusal to corn.
mence hostilities. An imposing squadron is to ac-
company the expedition.'

A Vienna letter in the Independance of Brussels,
says The senator Baron Heekeren has left
this place for Paris ; and although it is still denied
that his journey had any political character, I de-
clare that it had. I may add that Baron Heekeren
had two long conferences with Count de Buol, to
whom he offered the most friendly protestations
on the part of Count Walewski, and he expressed
in the name of the French Government the desire
to remain in good harmony with the Austrian
Cabinet. I learn that Count de Buol, on his part,
manifested the most conciliatory sentiments."

Accounts from Ti6ina announce that the Archi-
mandrite Nicanor has been released by the Aus-
trian authorities, and hadraturued to Montenegro.

A postal treaty between Greece and Russia is
about to be concluded.

THE SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' AND FISHERMEN'S
ROYAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.--The weekly committee
meeting of this society was held as usual at the society's
offices, Hibernia-chambers, London-bridge. Present :
Admiral Sir Henry Hope, R.C.B. (in the chair) ; Capt.
Hon. Frar.cis Maude, R.N. ; Wm. Stuart, Esq. ; Sir
Charles R. Rowley, Bart. ; Captains Lean and West-
brook, R.N. The committee awarded 623/. 15s. to 283
widows and mariners and 15 shipwrecked men, to help
to replace their clothes. This relief to widows and men
is in addition to that afforded to shipwrecked persons on
every part of the coast, by clothing and sending them to
their homes. It was reported at the meeting that the
heavy calls on the institution made an appeal to the
public necessary : we hope it will be liberally responded
to, as, by its efforts, the country is cleared of beggars,
under the plea of being shipwrecked, and our seamen
preserved from being pauperised, by being obliged to
beg their way home when cast helpless on our coast.
SHOCKING SUICIDE UPON A RAILWAY.—On Thursday
evening a determined act of self-destruction was com•
mitted by a man named James M'Yicar, by throwing
himself under a train passing along the South-Western
Railway. It appears that about 7 o'clock, as the 6.30
down train was passing along the main line, near Dunce-
hill, Wandsworth, the deceased was seen to throw him-
self across the rails, in front of the carriages, the whole
of which passed over his legs and holy, killing him in-
stantaneously. The body was found to be in a fright-
fully mutilated state, and was removed to the Half-way
public-house in Garrett-laue to await a coroner's inquest.
The unfortunate deceased was a resident of Wands-
worth, and had carried on the business of a fancy printer
upon the French system. He figured in the police court
Thompson
a few weeks ago, where he gave a man named
into custody for stealing some blocks used in his busi-
ness. A partnership was set up, but wswasproved
as
it
man that the deceased's money bought them, the a _
discharged upon his giving up possessionof pend-
ing pro-
perty. It was also stated that there was a
lawsuit
ing between him and a relative which appeared
rate upon his mind, and he had latterly taken
to drink-
ing. Yesterday he was seen in the
townin a very ner-
some difficulty to
vous condition, and appeared to have
articulate his words, The deceased was asbelieved to be
unmarried,
