ITALY.

The Campagno of Turin (an organ of the Papal
party), of the 31st ult., states that the PorE has ad-
dressed a protest to the King of SARDINIA against
the exile of the two Archbishops, and the sequestra-
tion of the revenues of their sees. it was the arrival
of this note which gave rise to the unfounded rumour
that an excommunication had been fulminated against
Sardinia.

FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION AT HAYDOCE COLLIERY.
—A. gloom of sorrow and mourning was cast cast over Hay-
dockand Ashton early yesterday morning by a report, which
spread like wildfire, that many valuable lives had just been
sacrificed at Haydock colliery. On inquiry, it proved, alas,
too true. The sad catastrophe occurred at a pit known as
No. 13, about eight o'clock. Immediately afterwards nine
bodies were brought to the bank, and several persons, severely
burnt and otherwise injured, were taken out of the pit.
There were about twenty men and boys at work in the mine at
the time, and four ponies. The ponies were all found dead.
No. 13 pit is the property of Turner and Evans; it is 208
yards deep, and situate at the road side opposite Haydock
School. On the sth of November, 1845, 13 lives were lost in
the same pit and by the same agent—fire damp.—Liverpool
Mercury.
CHINESE PRODUCE.—The importations of fancy ar-
ticles from China are much more various and extensive than
used formerly to be the case. A vessel which has just arrived
from Canton has brought no less than 376 packages of china
and lackered ware as a portion of a large general cargo from
the Chinese empire.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—YeSterday (Friday)
a fatal railway accident occurred near Leeds, Thomas Gib-
bons' a guard in the employ of the York and North Mid-
land Railway Company, was killed at the Woodlesford Rail-
way station, about six miles from Leeds. He was in charge
of the train which left Leeds at ten o'clock in the morning,
and whilst it was stopping at the Woodlesford station, and
he was in the act of crossing the line, a Great Northern train
came up on its way to Leeds. The unfortunate man was
caught by the buffers of the engine, aLd thrown with such
force as to break his legs, and inflict such other injuries as to
cause his death soon after. The deceased, who resided at
York, has left a wife and eight children unprovided for, and
his wife is also far advanced in pregnancy.

WOODS AND FORESTS.—A special vestry meeting
was held yesterday in St. James's, Westminster, to consider
the propriety of petitioning the Legislature for an enactment
compelling the Woods and Forests to deposit plans and give
notice of any alterations contemplated by them on property
belonging to the Crown or the public. Mr. Churchwarden
Geesin was called to the chair, and a resolution in accordance
with the object of the meeting was adopted.
THE ELECTRIC INDICATOR.—This useful and in-
genious invention has already been noticed in these
columns, and we are happy to find that it is coming into
general use. It may, perhaps, be remembered as a self-
acting electrical apparatus, which gives immediate notice of
the presence of thieves or fire. Three concealed wires are
made to traverse every room of an estab"shment where the
apparatus is fixed, and it is next to impossible for a burglar
to make his entry without unconsciously completing contact
with a small voltaic battery (always ready for action) which
instantly releases a powerful alarum and thus arouses the
Inmates. The sudden heat of a fire operates by expansion
in producing a similar result. There can be little doubt that
hail this apparatus been previously known and adopted, the
Frimley tragedy would never have occurred—nor would any
of those burglars, whose crimes have recently occupied so
large a share of public attention, have been permitted even to
cross the threshold of the premises they attacked. We be-
lieve the instrument is to be seen in daily operation on the
premises of Messrs. Horne, Thornthwaite, and Wood, where
we, ourselves, have had the pleasure of witnessing its action.
NOVEL CAPTURE OF •A LARGE FISH.--A week or
two since, some boys at Polperrc' observed a large fish mov-
ing about near the rocks, which skirt the harbour, and
having procured a long stick, they reached it out, either for
the purpose of scaring it off, or tormenting it, when they
found to their great surprise that it took a Arm and deter-
mined hold of the end, and with great effort they succeeded
in drawing it to land-, It was found to be a very large
specimen of the Angler Lopius Piscatoirus; and presenting
the appearance of having practisdedtehees;
werewily found to haveart"with good
success. It was opened, when no less than twenty-one fishes
formed(comprising

.Our very skilful fish preserver,
Mr. Wm. Laughrin, has added the specimen to his valuable
collection of Cornish fishes.— Cornwall Gazette.
Cardinal Wiseman is still at Liege, and is likely to
remain there for some days. Dr. Doyle, the Catholic rector
of St. George's, will proceed to Liege to-morrow or the fol-
lowing day to meet the new cardinal, and accompany him
to London.

" THE TamrLAR."--An entirely new play, entitled
The Templer, is to be produced this evening at the Prin-
cess's Theatre. 'We understand it is most gorgeously got up,
and extensive patronage is anticipated for it. the cast in-
cluding such eminent artistes as Mr. and Mrs. C. Kean, and
Messrs. Ryder, Fisher, Belton, Addison, J. Vining, Cathcart,
and Everett.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT EAST PECIEHAM.-011
Thursday evening last, about six o'clock, on the return cf a
young man at East Peckham from his work, he discovered
the body of his grandmother (Sarah Bates), a small shop-
keeper, weltering in her blood, with her throat cut nearly to
the extent of severing her bead from her body. The deed,
apparently, had been inflicted with a large description of
butcher's knife, which was found near the body, covered
with blood. The deceased had several cuts on her hands,
and both her eyes were blackened. At present the affair re-
mains enveloped in the greatest mystery. An inquest is to
be held.

DR. PUSEY.—This notorious Tractarian was an-
nounced to preach at Bristol, on Wednesday last, but the
Bishop of the diocese interfered, prevented the disgrace, and
he was forbidden to preach.— Western Times.
