News from the Roman peninsula still continues
to have most of its interest concentrated just now in
Piedmont.

Cardinal ANTONELLI has addressed a note, dated
the 14th ult., to the Charge d'Affaires of Sardinia,
in which he renews the protest of the Holy See
against the law of Siccerdi, " which," he says,
" is hostile to the Church and to its sacred rights, in
direct opposition with the sacred canons, and
with the solemn treaties concluded on the subject."
He adds, that " the attempt against the sacred
person of the excellent Archbishop of TURIN,
who has been prosecuted by an incompetent
judicial authority, arrested aid sent to the
citadel by the aid of the public force," is
a still greater aggravation of the outrage. The
prelate expresses his surprise at " this outrage, so in-
sulting to the high dignity of the sacred personage."
He concludes by declaring that, " whatever reforms
may have been introduced into the civil legislation of
the Sardinian States, the venerable laws of the Church
are, nevertheless, still in force."

The Bibhop'oi TEMPIO (Sardinia) has addressed a
circular to the clergy of his diocese, declaring that
it is their duty to submit to the law of Siccardi.
He orders, moreover, the Chancellors of the two
Ecclesiastical Courts of Tempi° and Castelsardo to
transmit immediately to the secular tribunals all the
cases that may still be pending before them. The
Bishops of TARENTAISE, MAURIENNE, and ANNECY
have refused the decoration of the Grand Cross of St.
Maurice and Lazarus, which the King of SARDINIA
had sent them.

The King of SARDINIA. has given directions for a
rural festival at his villa of Stupinigi, to celebrate
the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of GENOA The
members of both Chambers, and the National Guards
of all degrees, are invited with their families.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 7th publishes an
order of the day addressed to the National Guards of
Turin by their commandant, General MAFFEY, thank-
ing them in the name of the KING for their devo-
tion to the country, and congratulating them
on their martial appearance at the last review. The
disorders which took place at Albeuga on the oc-
casion of the new wine-tax have ceased, order

A rule in this ca,e had been obtained by Mr. D.

Mr. D. KEENE submitted that the clear meaning of

before the rule was obtained. This was the memoran-
dum of the Judge, Mr. Justice Williams, before whom
it was sworn.

A rule had seen obtained in this case by Mr. Pashley,
in this term, calling on Mr. Hobbs, the former Mayor
of Downton,
liana should not issue commanding him to deliver up
the mace, which was of
in Wiltshire, to show cause why a matida-
office of Mayor of that borough.
Mr. Srsto2,ls, this morning, showed cause against the
rule, objecting that one of the
affidavits on which the
rule was moved could not be u,e:l ; and also that it
did not appear, from any of the affidavits, that Mr.
Hobbs had refused to deliver up the mace ; and that,
even if he had done se, this Court could not interfere
by mandamus. He also submitted that it did not ap-
pear that Downton was not a borough, and toe office of
Mayor vvas'only a nominal and honorary office, with no
duties incident io it. The defendant likewise denied that

Mr. ?ASHLEY supported the rule, contending that the

an officer, on an application to compel him to deliver up
the insignia of his office.

NEW COURT.
(13efert, the Rk:CoaDER.)
Caroline Petira, the ayah, who yesterday prosecuted
iwo parties fur an alleged feleny, was this morning ar-
raigned ou an indictment charging her with stealing a
qusntity of jewellery, the property of Dr. DarwoLd, her
former master.
Mr. CLARKIeN, who appeared for the prosecutor,
stated that in consequence of the previous good charac-
ter of the prisoner, aid believing that in this case she
had been made the tool of other parties, the prosecutor
was not anxious ,to offer any evidence against her, it
such a course met the approval of the Court.
The RECORDER did not think the jury could con-
scientiously co ,vict the prisoner under the circum-
stances, and he had therefore no objection to coment to
the proppeal of the Learned Counsel.
A verdict 1 Acquittal was accordingly taken.
