ITALY.

The Concordia of Turin has a letter from Rome of
the 4th, mentioning a rumour that the proceedings
against CERNUSCHI had been annulled in consequence
of some informality; whence it would follow that
new proceedings would be instituted against him. A
pamphlet has been circulating at Rome, bearing the
title, "Is the POPE coming or not." The substance
of that pamphlet is that nobody cares whether he will
return or not; that the POPE'S temporal power is
gone, and that any government will be impossible at
Rome until the Republic be restored.
Rome, it is said, was to be shortly occupied by the
Austrians, the French only retaining a small gar-
rison at the Castle of St. Angelo and at Civita
Vecchia.
In the sitting of the Bth of the Chamber of Depu-
ties of Turin, the discussion on the Ecclesiastical
Courts Abolition Bill came to a close. The Very
Rev. Canon TURCOTTI spoke in favour of the Bill,
which was also supported by Messrs. MICHELIN',
GERBINO, and CHENAL. The efforts of the adversaries
of the Bill were principally directed towards obtain-
ing an adjournment of the measure. General Bas
moved that the Chamber vote an order of the day,
approving
course of h
ofthe measure,
te butuspending it.
In the debate, suspending
President
of the Council, M. D AZEGLIO, took an opportunity
to declare that the Cabinet was unanimously in favour
of the Bill, and thought it expedient under present
circumstances. The Minister of Grace and Justice
concluded the debate with a speech, in which he
passed in review, and refuted all the arguments
brought forward by the opponents of the Bill. The
Chamber then rejected the motion of M. MARONGIN,
which declared Parliament to be incompetent on the
question ; that of M. BuzAII, proposing new nego-
tiations with Rome ; and:that of General BES. The
second reading of the Bill was voted by an immense
majority.

MUSICAL EVENTS.--DR KONTSILI AT LILLE.—The
Lille papers speak in glowing terms of De Kontski's
performances at that town. The following is an extract
from La Liberte:—" No artiste ever created such enthu-
siasm in out town as the violinist De Kontski, whose
eminent talent was crowned with the most brilliant suc-
cess in the beautiful concert given last night by the Mu-
sical Association. In the midst of the extraordinary
applause of the excited audience, Mr. Muller, in the
name of the musicians of this twin,
placed a wreath on
the head of the Polish artiste." L'Echo du IVord says
—" On Tuesday a brilliant serenade was given to De
Kontski by the members of the Musical Association of
Lille. The artiste, evidently moved by the honour thus
conferred upon him, returned thanks in very feeling
terms."—Leeds Mercury, March 9.
