ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 24th ult. represents the
state of the city under the present system of priestly
misrule as lamentable in the extreme, and full of dan-
ger for the peace of Europe. The Cardinal trium-
virate has sent into exile a fourth part of the popula•
tion of the city, and in order to render the Romans
obedient to the priestly Government, one-half of the
remaining population must, be sent into exile before
the foreign troops are withdrawn ; the greatest hatred
is felt towards the Papal Government, and the Ro-
mans would welcome any deliverer who would relieve
them from priestly thraldom. The POPE can only
rule in Rome as the restored of the foreigner, and his
presence there will be felt by the Roman people as a
badge of national thraldom, a trophy offoreign conquest.

SWITZERLAND.
The following note on the subject of the Refuse e
question has been addressed by the Swiss Minister in
Paris to the Journal des Debats :
" The Journal des Debuts yesterday published an ar-
ticle on the affairs of Switzerland, which, from its im-
portance, might merit several columns of observations;
it will, doubtless, accept in their stead some short and
simple reflections. According to that article Switzer-
land has become the refuge of all such men as have
been obliged to fly from the laws of their own coun-
try. It is forgotten France at this moment grants hos-
pitality to a great number of Italian and German re-
fugees, many of whom have been expelled from Switzoi-
land; that Piedmont contains one hundred times more
Italian refugees than Switzerland; that there are French
refugees in Belgium and in London within eight
hours distance of Parishithat Felix Pyat and Boichot are
the only two French refugees of any consequence in
Switz r;and; that they are, like their fellow refugees,
sent into the interior at more than 12 leagues from the
frontier, and their expulsion would imme liately follow
any attempt to disturb the tranquillity of France. The
writer of the article in question has forgotten or is ig-
norant that on the 16th of July the Federal Council
spontincously ordered the expulsion of all the relugeis
who had been either military or civil leaders, or who.
had abused the asylum received in Switzerland. It was
in virtue of that decree that M.M. Struve, Mieroslawsky
Ilaveaux, Siegel, Wellich, Blenker, Brentano, Doll,
Metternich, and several others were expelled, and the
majority of whom are now in the United States. From
more than 11,000 the refugsys in Switserlaad are re.

CAPTURE OF GAMBLERS.
TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Observing in your paper of the 4th inst , under
the head " Marlbro' Street—Extiaordinary Capture of
Gamblers," my name, address, and busines?, art
out in full, coupled with others, in a manner not jus-
tified by the circumstances as they occurred, I must beg
the favour t f your givinginsertion to thisletter in expla.
nation.

In the first place, I must admit that I was in the house
at tie time in question, but that I was there for gam*
bling purposes, or ever visited the said house for such,l
do most unqualifiedly deny. The only object cf my visit
was to obtain payment from ac proprietor of the house
in question for wine supplied by me, and f whose re-
turn I was waiting at the time the police entered, haling
been previously informed that if I called any evening
the account would be paid, and which circumstances I
was prepared to prove before the magistrat ~ but as the
mutter f investigation remained ui decided upon tech-
nical objections taken by Mr. Clarkson, who appeared
f some of the parti, s, 11, al no opportunity of vintli-
catin.,is myself, although I appeared for tha: purpose witit
my solicitor.
I cannot help observing that it seems most extraordi-
nary th: t my address and business should have been so
prominently put forth, as no other person's address is
given. _

I made no secret of my name and address, but °then-,
as you admit, must have given fictitious names.
I trust you will give insertion to this letter as the
least you can do to efface the impression which your
ver,ion of the affair must havo made upon the public
mind in reference to myself.
As to the legality of the proceedings adopted by the
police, on behalf of myself I intend to submit to anotLer
tribunal.—l remain, sir, your obedient Eeryaot,

GUNPOWDER.— Yesterdaymorning
a boy about eight years of ape was taken to King's Col-
lege Hospital, ►o injured as to be without hope of re-
covery, The child had been amusing himself by playing
with gunpowder. The neighbours, on hearing the boy
scream went into the room, which was tilled with smoke,
in one corner of which lay the little sufferer on the
ground, burnt most frightfully about the face, hands,
and arms. Ills clothes were nearly all destroyed. The
parents wete.absent from home at the time.
The Whittington Club held, yesterday evening,
the first (this year) of a series of assemblies, for the
saltatory entertainment of the members and their friends.
A large' party assembled accordingly in the capacious
rooms of the institution, and dancing was kept up, to an
excellent band, with great animation, till past two o'clock
this morning

dueed t 3 about 1,500 including 150 Poles, vvholn
Prance. had refused to admit. It is pretended that
these refag.-e; compel Austria and Prussia to keep up
armies of 600,000 and 480,000 men; and that they are
the cause if five French departments being kept in s
state of siege. Is it the act of the refugees if Itsly is
groaning beneath the yoke of Austria, and that Hun.
gary, Bohemia, Vienna, Berlin, and Dresden have risen
in insurrection? Would the removal of some refugees
prevent good Germans from dreaming of social demo-
cracy, or of an empire which should include all the
German people? Is it just to impute to the same cause
the terrible . Insurrection of Jiine, 1848, in Paris,
and
t
those of the 13th June last at Lyons and Strasburg?
