midst of a heavy shower of rain, and there, with
immense applause, raised the •banner of -the Sove-
reign. Every street was searched but n 9 trace of
an enemy remained : every one, as if by enchant-
ment, had disappeared, and Perugia was com-
pletely occupied by the troops. /The conduct of
the troops, of the officers, and. subalterns, the non-
commissioned officers, and of the privates, was in
general such as do credit to the foreign regiments
in the service of the Holy See, and well merits the
trust that is reposed in them.
"Nof ought I to be silent on the equal proofs of
' courage given by the indigenous troops of every
arm who took part in the operation. I find worthy
of notice the act of the gendarme Paolo Cavalien,
who, although under arrest, begged to be allowed
to take part in the fight, and wzs unfortunately
struck by a bail, which broke his leg and placed his
life in danger. The gendarme Paoletti was also
wounded by a ball. I reserve to myself to give a
separate report of the soldiers who distinguished
themselves the most. Our loss is sensible-10
killed, including Captain Ab 'Uberg ; 35 wounded,
including Captain Briteligy and Lieut.: Cruffer.
But the.enemy's loss was much more considerable;
and although not precisely known, cannot be less
than 50 killed and 100 wounded, besides 120 pri-
soners. The same night the troops were • shut in
their appointed. barracks, and order and discipline
restored calm everywhere. The number of rebel
combatants is reckoned at 5,000. They were com-
manded by a certain Colonel Antonio Corrotti,
come expressly from Tuscany ; by Count Cesari and
Giuseppe Danzetta, of Perugia. • Some of these are
said to be wounded. The greater part taking
flight through the various city gates escaped hastily
to the Tuscan territory, but many are still hidden,
and are falling every day into the power of the
military government instituted by me. Now tran-
quillity and order are re-established among the peo-
ple, and the environs, such as Citta de Castello, le
Fratte, &c., have made their voluntary submission
to the government of the Holy See. A column of
about 50 Tuscan Tuscan volunteers, who had ar-
rized at Passignano, returned to their own• country.
when they heard of the result. The disarming
goes on, and a considerable quantity of arms and
ammunition is collected. Having thus given an
account of my mission, I have only-to add that my
sole desire and that of my troops is to prove our
devotion and. fidelity to the august Sovereign and
Government whom we have the honour to-serve.

The last share number on the register by senio-
rity, after the drawing of July the sth, 1859, will
be about 10,291, and. the last share taken up on the

25th of June was No. 14,797.

The sale of the Park Estate, Weymputh, was
commenced on the 23d lilt., and the Holders of

rights of choice had the privilege afforded to them
of early selection. The plots will now be disposed
of at the prices marked on the plan, (including costs
of conveyance, roads and drains), as purchasers
present themselves, and the deeds will be handed
over at once on the cost being paid in full. Per-
sons desirous of availing themselves of the borrow-
ing powers of seven-eighths of the purchase money
from the society, can do so by acquiring the neces-
sary right at a nominal premium, and may pay the
loan by monthly or other instalments. There are
301 building plots on this estate, which is situated

only a few yards from the esplanade and bay, and
adjoins the Great Western and South Western
Stations. The highest priced plot of land is £1,671
Gs., and the lowest £5O 3s. The advertisements
for tenders for the roads and drains have been
issued, and no time will be lost in completing the
works and carrying out the published plans. The
competition for the hotel plots insured for the
holders of the earliest rights of choice on the
register considerable premiums for theirshares, and
plots have been resold since the allotment at a
large profit. These results have been effected
without even holding a public meeting in the town ;
but one will take place shortly, in order that the
facility of obtaining freehold sites on this valuable
property may be fully explained.
The Conservative Land Society still continues to
qualify in eleven counties persons desirous of
obtaining the freehold franchise, and to afford them
at the same time the security of a land investment.
For the registration of 1859, circulars have been
issued to the allottees on various estates, including
county claims to be forwarded to the overseers ;
the last day for such claims being sent in is the
20th inst., and they will be sustained at the Regis-
tration Courts free of expense to the members, The
committee take this opportunity of reminollin
ding
allottees that they may claim to vote at any pg
place of the county where their land is situated,
and if not living in the county may elect to vote at
any one of the polling places most convenient
themselves.to The late general election has proved
the importance of attending to the registration, and

The Executive
Committee have under considera-
tion the allotment of the Roehampton Park Estate,
through the register of rights. The surveyor in
the meanwhile has drawn up a :provisional plan
whereby the mansion and about 45 acres of land
are apportioned in a single lot for disposal, and the
remaining portion of the land is allot ted in quan-
tities to meet the convenience of persons desirous of
erecting villas in that popular locality.
The drawing for rights of choice to select plots
on the society's estates was then 'proceeded with,
and the proceedings terminated -with a vote of
;hanks to the chairman.
