The Advocate CERNUSCHI, who for the last twelve-
month has been confined in the dungeons of Rome to
gratify the truly sacredotal hatred of the priests and
cardinals, has at length been released, after having
been twice tried on the same charges before a French
court-martial aud twice acquitted.

The Official Gazelle of Naples, of the 7th instant,
says, the note of the English Minister relative to the
demand for indemnities for the losses of English
subjects had been received and laid before the Com-
mittee appointed for investigating such claims, and
that the Ministers of Prussia, England, France, and
Austria, had been invited to a conference on the sub-
ject, at which it was resolved that the matter should
be arranged by peaceful negotiation, and that there
is no fear of other measures being resorted to.
The Senate of Turin, in its sitting of the 6,1),
voted by a majority of 48 to 15 the Bill already
passed by the Chamber of Deputies, granting a
credit of 100,000 f. for the relief of Italian emi-
grants.—ln its sitting of the same day, the
Chamber of Deputies, after some discussion, voted
the order of the day on the question addressed
to the Cabinet by Signor Gavolli on the subject of
the artillery of the national guard of Genoa. The
Minister of Agriculture and Commerce afterwards
presented two Bills, one for the general re-organiza-
tion of differential duties, and the other on navigation
dues.

The Giornale di Roma of the 2d states that Cardi-
nal Altieri having convoked the provincial council of
the province of Rome, accordiog to the law of July
5, 1831, that body assembled on the ht, in his palace,
and after a short speech ;addressed to the Cardinal as
president of the province, immediately proceeded to
buAiness, which related chiefly to the good adminis-
tration and direction of the ioterests of the province.
The Milan Gazette of the 6-h officially announces
that the great electro-telegraphic line of the Austrian
empire will in a few days be extended to Milan, and
will be open to the use of the Government as well as
that of the public. _ _

The Doke of Castiglione returned from Vienna
on the 4th to Florence, and immediately resumed the

NORTH OF IRELAND-12TH OF JULY-
AFFRAY BETWEEN ORANGEMEN AND
THE POLICE, CLOSE TO THE TOWN OF

BELFAST.

Last night (Thursday), about twelve o'clock, a
great number of persons assembled near Malone-
turnpike, moving towards the town. The police,
though numbering only five, under Constable Hind,
prepared to meet the crowd of several hundreds,
and, as they came through the turnpike, the police
noticed a procession in the act of forming, headed
by a young lad, beating a large drum, decorated
with orange lilies. The police arrested the youth,
when the mob hooted and pelted them wi•h stones,
and endeavoured to rescue the prisoner. The pollee,
with the prisoner and the drum, reached the barrack,
which was at once attacked, and all the windows in
front broken. The crowd would listen to neither en-
treaties nor threats, the police loading their carbines
and fixing their bayonets without avail; when at last
the police were compelled, in self-defence, to fire first
one shot, which being unheeded, a volley cf four
more was fired, on which two young men (William
Walker, 17, bearer of the drum, and William Ander
son, one of the rescuing party) fell badly wounded.
An investigation before the Mayor and Mr. Tracey,
P.M., is to be held at the police-office this day
(Friday).—Chronicle.

SUICIDE OF WALTER WATTS.
This m.,ruing the greatest excitement prevailed in
Newgate amongst the turnkeys end others, when it
became known that Walter Watt'', the late 1 ssee of the
cOolmymmplitetedThLiaitcl had, at three o'clock this morning
by banging. But a few hours
before Lail Donovan terminated his existence in pre-
cisely a similar manner, and during the day had both
the deceased received their sentence for their separate
crimes from the same judge, and is the same court. It
appears that Walter Watts had, during his confinement
in Newgate, been so ill, that for the last few weeks he
bad teen an inmate of the ward infirmary. In the same
room were six other prisoners. It also appeared that
the unfortunate man had i
been lately troubled with diar-
thee, and that ho was nightly n the habit of Kett ir g
up and going to the water•clost t. In order
not to catch cold h.e had always a dres.ing-

that day, he went down to the water-closet, where, to his
horror, he discovered the unforiunate man quite dead,
having hanged himself in precisely a similar manner to
that of Donovan, to the bar of the cell window by a
piece of rope and his cravat. He was imm.diatelv
ciit
down, and Mr. M'Murdo, the prison-surgeon, called,
but it was too late, the unfurrunete deceased having
breathed his last an hour before being discovered. The
excitement which prevails in the neighbourhood is in-
tense, and the circumstance of two prisoners hanging
themselves in one thy requires baking into.

CABINET COUNCIL—(I'BM DAY.)--A Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign-otlice to-day, at
twelve o'clock. There were present the Marquis of
Lars Towne, Lord John Ruisell, the Earl of Carlisl«,

Rotterdam, that the Second Chamber of the States
General have sanctioned by a majority of 50 against 15,
the Ministerial projects abolishing all differential duties, be-
sides the transit duties and the Rhine dues; as also the im-
portant change in the Lavigation-laws, according to which

ADULT DEAF AND DUSID INSTITUTION.—Last
evening a meeting of the friends and so. scribe's to the above
institution was held in the board-room, '26, Red Lion-square,
Bloomsbury. The routine business having been dispcsed
a warm tribute was paid to the memory of the late president
of the institution, the Duke of Cambridge, to whose liberality
and ready personal exertion much of the progress and
prosperity of the charity was indebted. His Royal Highness,
it was observed, had already warmly advocated the ihstitu•
Lion, and had consented to preside over the ensuing anniver-
sary festival. The meeting expressed its deep regret in the
demise of his Royal Highness —a a loss that would be severely
felt by many public charities. and equally by the public at
large. The liberal donation of thirty guineas from his Grace

" We have been directed by the inspectors of the affairs
of Messrs Trueman and Cook to submit to your consi-
deration a copy of the report which is enclosed, and

the Bank of England at the largelt creditors; and we
have to inform you that we have received a letter from
the Bank, dated this day, which conveys to us the ac-
quiescence of the Bank in the arrangement proposed by

virtually discharged from all the liabilities of the late

" Frederick's-place, 11tti July, 1850."
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. D. Brag-
gintti and Co., whose failure was mentioned on the 26th
ult., took place on Thursday, when, after the examina-
tion of a bslance.sheet prepared ty Mr. J. E. Coleman,
it was unanimously agreed to liquidate the estate under
a deed of inspectorship. The statement presented
showed that the gross liabilities amounted to 1133;004,
which will be reduced by securities held and bills ex-
pect. dto run off to about 30,000/. The greater part of
the millets being produce, it is hoped that it good market
prices are realised a dividend of 43. 6d. or ss. may be
eventually distritaited.
The exports of Bullion from London this week have
