ITALIAN JEALOUSY AND REVENGE.

Roar; Jan. 31.=—A tragical specimen of Italian
jealousy -took place in the' beginning' of .this week
at the Pope's favourite,summer.ivsidenc4, the once
f imous but now deserted' sea=coast town of Porto
danzio.- -The wenien of -that- and.-the'neighbour-
ing town of Nettnno are celebrated for iheir beauty,
but the charms of a young gill, the daughter of a
'fisherman of Porto d'Anzio;' have for some time
past entitled her to a pre-eininent rank even in that
land of , beau, ies. A young non 'befonging to a
noble family of Orvieto, whilst casually sojourning
in Porto d'Anzio, became enamoured of the fisher-
man's daughter to such a degree as to overlook all
differences of rink, and to wish for a union with
the object of his passion ; but his parents put a
stop to- his matrimonial intentions by suddenly
summoning him back to Orvieto, and keeping him
there in expectation of some more suitable project.
The young girl, thus unwillingly abandoned by her
lover, was soon after courted by one of her own
townsmen, quite a yonth, and son of the municipal
secretary, who professed the most ardent at-
tachment to her, and offered to marry her, al-
though totally unprepared to meet the expenses of
the matrimonial Estate.t Whilst these unsatis-
factory propositions were pending, the Orvie+an
lover- sent a letter, tating that by the decsase of
his parents he had become master of h's own actions,
end he should lose no time. in returning to Porto
d'Anzio, to fulfil his promise ofmarrying the fisher-
man's daughter. This piece of intelligence was
favourably received by the ,old man and the young
girl, aed their expectations were realised towards
the end of last week by seeing the amorous count
arrive from Rome, laden with presents fa. his in-
tended bride. The necessary preliminaries having
been 'summarily arrange], the' impatient lovers
were 'united in the holy bonds of matrimony on
Sunday morning last, the bride being fashionably
attired in the wedding dress and bonnet brought
by her husband for :the occasion. It would be
superfluous to hint at the rage and disappointment
of the discarded suitor. He passed his morning in
smoking and playing at billiards, hardly replying to
the sarcastic remarks of his friends, who expatiated
upon the beauty of the bride, and the becomingness
of her new dress. In the afternoon, however, he
'was roused by seeing the bridegroom and bride, with
per father and litt!e brother, set out for Nettuno,
_ a
neighbouring townabout two,nules distant, in a
carettino, or chaise: He immediately left the
,billiard-table, and, went home for his...double-bar-
relled fowling piece, telling his motl;er that he was
going to shoot a hare, whose heart and liver he in-
tended to have for supper that very.evening. Thus
armed, lie proceeded towards Nettuno, and waited
for his victims at a turn of the road between the
batteria and the Villa Doria. The bridal party
meanwhile, returning- .ga-ify- from a visit to Net-
tuno and the church of San Rocco, came in sight
of theaasassin, standing with-his gun in the middle
of the road; The.bride was .seizeciewith a panic,
and exclaimed, "Oh, Dio ! There is Paoluccio l"
But her husband hadreassured her, and told her
there was nothing to be alarmed at, asp, proof of

you going?" to which the other replied, "Do you
not see ? lam going to shoot a hare," presenting
at the same time his piece at the bride. She
shrieked out, " Spare our lives, Paolo 1" Her
husband throw his arms round her, but Paolo
sternly replie.l, "It is too late !" and fired imme-
diately, shot the bride through the heart with
a bullet, : and broke her husband's arm with
three slugs, with which the first barrel
of his gun was loaded. Seeing thrit his rival
was not killed, Paolo fired his other barrel
without effect, and was proceeding coolly to reload,
when the count urged his horse into a gallop, and
made at once for Porto d'Anzio. The murderer, a
youth not 18 years old, then struck into the forest,
and made the best Of his way to the outlaws'
asylum, at Campo Morto, a vast estate belonging to
the chapter of St. Peter, and situated in such a pes-
tiferous region of the Campagna, that it has always
been considered as a sanctuary for murderers and
robbers, who have remained time out of mind un-
molested within its precincts, and employed as
labourers for want .of more honest .3vorkmen.
Paoluccio, having the additional advantage of being
godson of the archpriest of Campo Morto, doubt-
less thought himself quite safe in this retreat ; but
the Government has lately found. that the bandit
tenants of the sanctuary are too much. on the in-
crease, or the malaria fever not sufficiently active
in thinning their ranks, so that the police autho-
rities are not so scrupulous in observing .the tradi-
tional immunities of the place. The consent of the
bean and Chapter of St. Peter's having been pre-
viously obtained, a detachment of sbirri set out
from Rome yesterday morning to make an inroad
into the crime-haunted purlieus of Campo Morto
in search of the youthful murderer, who so ruth-
lessly carried to their extremes the violent passions
of amore and vendetta.—Correspondent of Daily
.Arcivs.

FOREIGN DECORATIONS.

The Debats contains an article pointing out the
hardships of the regulations which in England for-
bid any person to wear decorations that have not
been conferred for military purposes. Our con-
temporary says :
" We have recently seen the French generals who
distinguished themselves in the Eastern war assembled

land to be invested with the order of the Bath, and we

an original country, and this affords us another proot of
what we have maintained. We read in aql books that the
French nation is essentially a military one, that delights
in singing the praises of glory and victory, and ren-
ders only slight homage to the triumphs of peace. We
nevertheless remark that great civil services receive in
France the same honour as military services, and it is
remarkable that it was the greatest military genius of
modem times, the Emperor Napoleon, who sought to
conseciate this equality. How often, on the other hand,
has it been repeated that the English nation, that wine,
positive, and commercial nation, attaches little valrueeedo
