THE SUN, LONDON,

silent on the subject of the return of Signor Pinelli
from Rome. But the Risorgimento, a Ministerial
paper, whose chief editor but a few days ago was
Count Cavour, now a member of the Cabinet, devotes
a leader to the subject, in which it states that
Signor Pinelli had left Rome, in consequence of
his conviction that it was impossible not only to
come to an agreement, but even to open preliminary
negotiations with the Court of Rome ; that the
latter had required the re-establishment of the
former state of things, before entering upon any
discussion on the question ; after which the matter
was to be treated as a perfectly novel subject, in order
to leave the Papal Court in complete liberty as to the
course to be pursued ; and that consequently the
Sardinian Envoy had no power to treat on such
bases. The article further says that the return of
Chevalier Pinelli will in no degree modify the opinion
of the Government, viz., that the laws hitherto framed,
or to be framed in future, on the same principle, do
not in any degree alter the relations between
Church and State ; that when Rome and the
Bishops remonstrated against the laws in question,
the Piedmontese Government, although surprised
at their opposition, determined to show its habitual
deference to the Court of Rome, by sending Chevalier
Pinelli there, " not to obtain a superfluous consent,"
but merely to rectify the erroneous opinions enter-
tained on the subject by the Holy See; but that Rome
bad refused to admit the real character of the mission
of Pinelli, and attempted to carry it upon quite an-
other ground—a course to which Sig. Pinelli opposed
his diplomatic experience, and preferred returning
rather than giving way in the least degree to any pre-
tension incompatible with the perfect independence of
his Government.

The Opinione states, on what it considers official
data, that the number of religious houses existing in
the Sardinian dominions amounts to 483—that is, 384
in Piedmont, 253 male and 131 female ; and 99 in the
island of Sardinia, 88 male and 11 female. That
journal, calculating the inmates of each at 20, finds
6,820 monks and 2,840 nuns—that is, one monk for
every 670 inhabitants, and one nun for every 1,645.
The Piedmontese engineers, on hearing of the
arrival of Mr. Stephenson, the English engineer, at
Turin, invited him to a banquet. Mr. Stephenson,
who was to leave early on the morning of the 17th,
expressed his regret at not being able to accept
the invitation, but appointed seven o'clock in the
evening to receive the corps of engineers. They
accordingly waited upon him at the stated hour, and
presented him with an address, to which he pro-
mised to return a written reply. He conversed with
them on the system of irrigation, practised with so
much success in Lombardy and Piedmont, and on
various works of art he bad visited, but particularly
on the bridge over the Dora, which does so much
honour to the Sardinian engineer M. Mosca. It was
believed that Mr. Stephenson was commissioned by the
Government to inspect the works of the railroad be-
tween Turin and Genoa, and to propose means of ob-
viating the natural difficulties which its construction
presents.

tempting bribe, and Mr. -- escaped an impending
ducking. A reverend gentleman relating the two

week, when a little boy, only seven years of age, was literally
cut to pieces. lie was the son of Smith Deuce, a brick-
maker, and on the evening already named, accompanied by
some other boys, he went into the brick shed where his
father worked. The clay in this yard is worked by ma-
chinery, being put into an aperture filled with clay knives,
and the whole set in motion by steam power. The engine
on this occasion was at work, and the poor child, Richard
Deuce, accidentally fell in amongst the knives, and was in-
stantly killed in the manner described. The coroner held an
inquest on view of the body at the Leeds Court-house, on
Thursday, when the jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally
k illed."— Leeds Mercury.
-AN hirosTou.--A person has been going the
round of the country soliciting pecuniary aid in behalf of
" the Rev. John Brown, late curate of Barham," whom he
represents to be in great distress. As the story is alto-
gether false, iris to be hoped that the fellow will be de-
tained should he attempt any further exactions.—Canter-
