ITALY.

The 10th of October was the day fixed for the ju-
dicial murder of Antonini, condemned by the It,qui-
sition for his alleged complicity in the plot of Pau for
the murder of Nardoni. It is worthy of remark that
Pau, who fired the pistol at Nardoni, is the brother-
in-law of that worthy, and that he remains unpunished,
while those persons whom he denounced, among
them Antonini, have been condemned to death with-
out form of trial by the Inquisition, after having been
three times put to the torture to extort from them
some confession. So indignant were the Roman
people at this attempt, by means of a sham plot, at
murdering eminent men, whose only offence was that
they were not sufficiently slavish in their adulation to
their priestly rulers, that they assembled in such a
threatening manner on the morning of the 10th that
the French General waited on the Pope, and induced
him, by pointing out the fearful consequences of the
impending outbreak, to commute the sentence of death
on Antonini and his companions.

The Corriere filercaniile of Genoa states that on
the 9EII the Council of Public Health of Leghorn
took off the quarantine to which vessels from Mar-
seilles were subjected, and reduced those upon ar-
rivals from Malta to seven, and from Tunis to
five days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.

A man named James Quin, apparently an agricultural
labourer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold,
charged with having stolen a carpet--bag, containing
wearing apparel and other articles of the value of between
30/. ano 401, the property of Mr. Alfred Theophilus Lee,
of Christ College, Cambridge.
It appeared from the evidence that as police constable
Ward, of the N division, was on duty in the Lea-bridge-
road, shortly after nine o'clock, on the evening of
Saturday se'nnight, he saw the prisoner proceeding at a
rapid pace with a large bundle under his arm, which he
was evidently endeavouring to conceal from observation,
and he therefore stopped him and insisted upon search-
ing the bundle,the contents of which, upon examination,
turned cut to be aricles of gentlemen's wearing apparel
of such a description as could manifestly not belong to
him, and of his possession of which he pave so unsatis•
factory an account that he was was forthwith transferred
to the station. Suspicions being entertained that other
portions of the property had been secreted by the pri-
soner, the constable was dispatched by Inspector Coward
to search about the neighbourhood of the spot where the
man was taken, and upon examining an adjoining drain
he discoved a carpet-bag, ripped open down the side, in
which was found a dressing-case, the lock of which had
been broken away, and containing a packet of letters ad-
dressed to the prosecutor and his mother, Lady Lee, by
the late Sir B. Peel, the Bishop of Exeter, and other
persons of distinction. Information of the capture of the
prisoner and the recovery of the stolen property was
immediately transmitted to Cambridge by the electric
telegraph, through the medium of which an intimation
was promptly returned that Mr. Lee was labouring under
indisposition of such a nature as led to the inference that
the rubbery hed been committed through the agency of
chloroform or some other narcotic, and the publication
of this supposition gave rise to much uneasiness among
his friends, but it was subsequently ascertained that
there were, furtunately, no grounds whatever for it, and
that the prosecutor's illness had solely resulted from
natural cruses. _ _

Mr. Lee now attended, and stated that on the night in
question he was a passenger by one of the trains on the
Eastern Counties Railway from London to Cambridge,
which he had left at the station in the care of one of the
upon reaching which he dpirsocsoevceurtetdirtihdaetnt

was present at the action.
William Dodd, one of the railway porters, deposed to
having received the bag at the time mentioned from the
prosecutor, and that be bad left it under the care of ano-
ther porter, named Syssel, shortly afterwards; Syssel,
however, on his examination stated that, though he re-
lieved the last witness at six o'clock on the night in
question, his attention was not called to any packages
whatever, and that he was not aware, in fact, that there
were any upon the platform which it would be necessary
for him to took after. _

When asked if he wished to say anything in answer
to the charge, the prisoner declined offering any obser.
vations, and the depositions having been directed to be
taken, he was fully committed to Newgate for trial.

REDUCTION OF DOCK DUES AT HULL.—.The fol-
lowing resolutions were carried unanimously at a meeting of
the Hull Chamber of Commerce, held on Thursday :—" That
the port charges at this port have for a long time been very
heavy and much complained of, and have been the cause of
a large amount of business being diverted from this port.
That the system of railways in this kingdom having given
great facilities to other ports on the east coast, and many of
those ports undergoing considerable improvements for the
purpose of increasing their commerce, it is highly desirable
that the port charges in Hull should be considerably modi-
fied. That the town dues and Trinity dues are charges un-
known in some ports which offer great competition to the
trade of this town. That the dock dues here are higher than
in any port on the east coast. That it be recommended to
the corporation of the town, the corporation of the Trinity
House, and the corporation of the Dock Company, to take
into consideration their respective charges on trade and ship-
ping, with a view of meeting the energetic competition of
other ports, and placing this port on an equality at least with
those places which are making such strenuous exertions to
divert trade from the port of Kingston-upon-Hull.
MORE PERVERSIONS.—The following members of
the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are announced
as having joined the Romish Communion :—Rev. F. W.
Trenow, B.A. St. John's College, Oxford ; Mr. J. Maillard,
Commoner of? Trinity College, Oxford ; Mr. T. Priggett,
Commoner of St. John's College, Cambridge; and Mr. J.
Harper, M.A., Pembroke College, Oxford. We are also as-
sured, on good authority, that proselytism to Tractarian
principles is still making way among the younger members
of the Universities at a rapid rate; and no wonder, when
Dr. Mill at Cambridge, and Archdeacon Wilberforce at Ox-
ford, are permitted with impunity to retain their officers of
Professors and Select Preachers in the face of their public
abjuration of the thirty-sixth canon of our Church. What
are the authorities about ?—Church and State Gazette.

BRITISH HONDURAS.—The government of the set-
tlement of Belize, British Honduras, is about to change
hands, the present superintendent, Colonel Fancourt, having
received an intimation from the Colonial-office that in con-
sequence of the expiration of his term a successor has been
appointed.
USEFUL HlNTS.—Carry a cheap umbrella; you
will discover wily when you lose it, which you, of course
will do in about six weeks.—Always get hold of your night-
cap before you blow the candle out.--Before you get mea-
sured for.aew boots put on three pairs of thick stockings.—
Always tell the truth, you will find it easier than lying.—
Don't be afraid to give tavern waiters anything.—Have the
courage to prefer ease to elegance, to get out of bed when
you ought to do, to acknowledge your altered opinions upon
conviction, and to confess your fear of God.
