ITALY.

The Ossetvatore Romano of the 20th has the fol-
lowing :
The almost immediate return of the Holy Father
may now bo considered as certain, and the satisfaction
of Pius IX. at having taken a definite resolution has
been generally remarked. After the consistory held
at Portici, in which the very eminent Cardinals Lam-
bruschini, Dupont, Vizaardelli, Orioli, Franaoni, and
Antonelli took part, and in which the resolution of the
Holy Father was unanimously approved of, the Secre-
tary of State convoked a meeting of the Ambassadors of
the four Catholic Powers, in order officially to notify to
them the determination expressed by the Holy Father
of returning to his states immediately after Easter, as
the solemnities of the holy week, which are at hand, do
not allow of his settiag out before that time. The Am-
bassadors of France and Spain gave their unreserved
approbation to this determination; those of Austria and
Naples, on the contrary, made some reservations in case
of unforeseen events. Notwithatanding this, on the
following day (the 12th) diplomatic circulars were
dispatched from the Secretary's office to the Ambassa-
dors and members of the Sacred College?
A letter from Rome of the 21st, in the Statuto of
Florence, says that on that day the arms of Austria
were again hoisted on the Venetian Palace. None
of the French authorities were present at the
ceremony.

The Tempo of the 20th states that the greater par
of the French squadron is now anchored at Naples.

SICILY.

PALEaMO, MAucil 19. Baron REGILIFI,
well known for his cowardice in 1848, and for
his arrogance after the restoration, has again
provoked the public of this capital, and led to
new victims of oppression. During the per-
formances at the theatre he stood up in his box and
shouted " Long live the KING." every one main-
tained a dead silence. Ile then repeated his cry,
which this time drew forth from the whole house
cries of the " The Constitution of 1812" and " The
Constitution of. 1848." The Baron, irritated, ordered
the doors of the theatre to be closed, surrounded the
pit with guards, and arrested 52 persons, who have
been transported to the Isle of Favignana, and there
immured in an underground dungeon, formerly used
for murderers and such like criminals.

The Duke of Newcastle is gradually regaining his
health, and it is expected will be enabled to attend in the
House of Lords soon after the re-assembling of Parliament.
The Marquis of Northampton, accompanied by
Viscount Alford, M.P., and Lady Marianne Alford, and Lady
Margaret Compton, is expected to arrive from his tour in
Egypt early in the ensuing month by the way of Marseilles
and Paris. We are happy to say Viscount Alford's health
has improved during his sojourn in the East.
Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are to leave
town to-day for Broadlands, near Romsey, and while there
will entertain a select circle of friends.

Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn have gone to
Paris for the Easter holidays.

Wm. Nicholson Hodgson, Esq., M.P., arrived in
Carlisle, on Wednesday morning, from London, and will
remain during the Easter recess. Mr. P. H. Howard,
M.P., is also arrived at Corby with the like intent.—Curlisle
Patriot.

The Stamford Mercury mentions that, in the
Gainsborough County Court, on Monday week, the vicar of
Gainsborough successfully sued a person for marriage fees.
It appears that the bridegroom had borrowed the money for
the licence and fee•, and when the ceremony was completed
he refused to pay the latter, and spent the cash at a neigh-
bouring public•house.

REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM.-
It is stated in the Berliner Allgeineine Birchen Zeitung, that
the Jews have obtained a firmau from the Porte, granting
them permission to build a temple on Mount Zion. The pro-
jected edifice is to equal Solomon's temple in magnificence.
Millions of money are said to have been collected for that
purpose in America alone.

A ROYAL GIFT TO A VETERAN.—Her Majesty
the Queen has remitted to the Rev. J. Fawcett, of Low Moor,
the sum of 51. for the use of an aged couple named Worsnop
residing at North Bierley. Worsnop is in the 100th year of
his age, and was formerly in the 21st Light Dragoons.—
Bradford Observer.

CHELSEA HOSPITAL GARDENS.—We are happy in
being enabled to announce that arrangements are at length
concluded for affording to the metropolitan public the ad-
vantage of much increased facilities of admission to the
gardens and the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital. At pre-
sent certain portions of these grounds are accessible at stated
seasons of the year, and on Sundays only. It is now arranged
w
to, and without restriction as to
intendedseason. the
theme e
eunlardpaoil3'rtions of the garden to which it is
publicarotipe shall bare access, are its centre walk
t hr o
T
and terraces, the latter bounded by the Thames, and com-
manding, as our readers need scarcely be reminded, all the
diversified attractions of that portion of the river. The
enclosed spaces abutting on the northern frontage of the
hospital, known as " Burton's Court." have hitherto been
attached to the occupation of the governor; but measures
have been effected for throwing open these also, subject to
conditions which contemplate the very slightest interference
with the enjoyment of the public, viz., the occupation of a
part of the ground, at a particular period of the year, for the
drilling of the Chelsea perkioners.

FIRE AT DOVER.—On Saturday evening, shortly
after eight o'clock, a the of an alarming character broke out
in the workshop of Mr. Stephen Williams, builder, Middle-
row, Pier, which soon communicated with the p remises ad-
joining, and at one period threatened destruction to the
numerous houses in Seven Star-street, also endangering the
South-Eastern Railway station, which is in close proximity
therewith. The town engines at the scene shortly after the
outbreak of th;,,, lire, and also the Ordnance engines, from the
garrison, most efficiently manned by a detachment of Royal
Artillery, and the 50th Regiment, under the direction of
Colonel Tyttlen, R.E., the commandant of the garrison,

arrived, and reneered ;nvaluable Fervi2e. So threatening rr
as;:ect did the fire assume, that a telegraphic dispatch w
sent to Folkestone for an engine, which was forwarded im-
mediately, and brought to the spot. After labouring at the
engines some two or three hours, the further spread of the
fire was arrested. The fire continued to moulder through-
out the night and yesterday. The property destroyed
consists of Mr. Williams's shop, a store occupied by Messrs.
Baldwin and Godden, brewers ; a large building, used as a
store for provisions, &c., by Messrs. Nazer and Lor g ; and
a werkshop, belonging to Mr. Daniel Street. Several
houses in Seven Star-street were injured, but none to
any great extent. The property, we understand, is
insured.

THE POISONING AT STOW.—The information which
we were able to lay before our readers last week relative to
this m' st serious case was substantially correct. An inquest
was held en Saturday last, at the house of the deceased, upon
his body and the body of his son (who died on Friday even-
ing), before W. Townley, EN , deputy coroner. The evidence
occupied the whole day, but we are prevented from giving
the verdict of the jury, as it was adjourned for a fbrtnight.
We may state that nothing was elicited throughout the
whole of the investigation, which was most carefully con•
ducted, to throw any light as to the manner in which the
arsenic could have been introduced into the sugar-basin.
That it was the result of accident, and not of design, seems
to be the pretty general opinion. It seems that none of
the inmates of the house knew there was any
arsenic left, for Mr. Page only purchased it as he
wanted it at the particular seasons of wheat sowing and
sheep dressing; but it appears from the evidence of the po-
lice, that upon searching the house, about half a pound was
discovered in a knife-tray, in the kitchen closet, and this
half-pound was identified by a man who dressed Mr. Page's
sheep, as being part of a packet which he did not require,
and which he gave to Mr. Page some time in October last,
and there can be little doubt but that the unfortunate gen-
tleman himself deposited the packet in the kitchen closet,
for that was the usual receptacle for the arsenic. The
question then arises, how did it get into the sugar-basin?
Upon this we may add, that the evidence throws no light,
further than the tea things used to stand in the same cup-
board, directly underneath the shelf upon which the arsenic
was deposited. What is more singular, however, is, that
although the tea things stood there, the sugar-basin was
generally removed into the stare-room. As public jour-
nalists, we cannot but deprecate the too common practice, in
farm-houses especially, of leaving arsenic and such matters
in exposed, or to say the least of it, in insecure situations.
Lynn Advertiser.

THE LATE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.—A
few words as to the lava. The whole of that magnificent
and extensive wood, Bosco Reale, is now destroyed; not a
vestige remains ; and the fair crops of springing wheat, the
pasture and arable land, where are they? They no longer
form a part of this earth's surface. The face of the country
to within a short distance of Pompeii is changed—the roads,
the landmarks, the means of communication from one point
to another, are obliterated—all lies buried under a superstra-
tum of from twelve to fifty feet of lava. It is generally ad-
mitted that in any other country the exertions and energy of
the people would have saved nearly the whole of the timber,
and much else that is now lost. Twenty men could have cut
the trees in a line faster than the lava approached, which
might then have been carted off by others, and relays of
about the seine number would thus have saved property
worth several thousand pounds—a kind of property very
valuable, too, here, where firewood is so dear. The lava
has now nearly reached the sea, and it is said covers a
superfices of about 14 miles. It is the opinion of the cog-
noscenti that no further damage or danger need be appre-
hended, the crater having given indications of being " used
up." As a spectacle, it must remain treasured in the me-
mories of al: who were so fortunate as to be eye-witnesses to
their dying day. The slow, steady, remorseless progress of
the lava can he compared to nothing better than the advance
of another common enemy—Time—the eda.z rerum, and
poets, divines, cud philosophers, would all have found food
for reflection here, each seizing on the parts adapted to his
own speeialite, and elaborating them so as to "point a moral
or adorn a tale." The corruscations that occurred of from
five to ten minutes, and closely resembling lightening, are
philosophically explained by Humboldt in his "Cosmos," to
which renowned work—a cheap edition of which is now sold
—your readers should refer. The nature of the lava geo-
logically and chemically considered, and of theme corrusca-
lions, as also of the phenomena of eruptions, will there be
found agreeably treated, and quite secundran artem.—
Chronicle.

BRIDGWATER. REVERSE OF FORTUNE. - The
schoolmaster and mistress of the Bridgwater union, named
Henley, by the death of a distant relation, will ultimately-
succeed to a large property. Ile has left them by his will
3,0001., to be paid in a twelvemonth, and at the death of a
lady, aged about 76, upwards of 7004 per annum.—Felix
Farley.

KNOTTINGLEY AND BURTTON SALMON BRANCH
LINE.—We understand that it is the intention of the York
and North Midland Company to open this line for traffic on
this clay, Ist of April. The government inspector went over
the line on Thursday. This line will do away with the in-
convenience which has hitherto been felt—that of perform-
ing the portion of the journey between Knottingley and
Burton Salmon by means of an omnibus. The bridge over
the river at Brotherton is a temporary one, but we under-
stand is considered perfectly safe. The little will prove very
convenient to passengers from Doncaster and southwards, to
Hull, Selby, York, and all places northward. It is a matter
highly creditable to the engineers and contractors that so
short a time has elapsed between the commencement and the
formation of a railway, which although not four miles in
extent, has not been made without considerable difficulties,
and such as must require great engineering skill. The line
will form a branch between the Wakefield, Pontefract, and
Goole line, at Knottingley, and the York and North Midladd
line at Burton Salmon.— Yorkshire Gazette.
THE FIRST LAW REPORTER.—The first English
reporter of law cases, the first recorder of the science and
eloquence of the bar, was Dyer, afterwards Chief Justice of
the Common Pleas, in the reign of Queen Mary. His at-
tended in the courts of law every morning from seven to
I eleven, with his notebook, in which he took down the ar-
guments and judgments in all important cases occurring in
Westminster Hall. When he returned to his chamber, after
supper, he digested and abridged his notes, introducing
only the facts necessary for raising the point determined,
with a short summary of the arguments of the counsel, and
of the opinion of the judges. So honourable, useful, and im-
proving was this labour then heldotihat it steadily advanced
Dyer in business and reputation, procured him to be re-
turned to the last Parliament of Edward VI. In this Par-
liament he was elected speaker, though without the rank of
Solicitor-General or Sergeant, usually considered necessary
for the deputy. —North British Quarterly Review.
SACRILEGE.—It was observed on Friday afternoon
that a box, kept in the interior of St. James's, Piccadilly,
and which contained a large sum collected for the poor, since
the commencement of the year, was broken open and the
contents abstracted. No trace was left by the thieves.
SPURIOUS SOVERRIGNS.—Saturday certain infor-
mation was conveyed to her Majesty's Government of the
discovery of an illicit manufacture of sovereigns in the town
of Birmingham. It was first ascertained in one of the Go-
vernment departments, where some suspicion being enter-
tained as to a coin tendered, the same was secured, which
resulted in the discovery that the centre was entirely core-
posed of inferior metal enclosed within a shell of standard
gold. These coins are so skilfully executed that they defy
the test of weight, sound, or aquafortis. A slight imperfec-
tion, however, exists in the milled edging, which should be
closely observet:o discover the imperfection.
NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—In pursuance
of the recommendation of a meeting of reformers, held in the
city of London, on Thursday, December 20, 1849, Sir Joshua
Wahnsley, M.P., in the chair, to hold a conference of the
friends of reform from all parts of the kingdom, the council
have decided that the conference shall be held in Crosby-
hall, Bishopsgate-street, on Tuesday, the 23d, and Wednes-
day, the 24th of April next, the sittings to commence at
eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The objects of the conference
will be to receive reports from delegates in reference to the
progress of the reform movement, to devise weans of carry-
ing out with promptitude and vigour the objects of the As-
sociation, and to complete the arrangements for realizing the
fund of 10,0001. required for the present year's operations.
Professor Bain having resigned the Assistant-
Secretaryship to the Board of Health, is succeeded in that
office by Tom Taylor, Eeq., Barrister-at. Law. Sir John
Milley Doyle is appointed Vice-Consul at Santa Martha.
James Davys, Ecq., is appointed Colonial Surgeon at the
Gold Coast. David Jardine and Joseph Frost Edger, lisqs.,
are appointed members of the Legislative Council at Hong-
Kong.

EXHIBITION OF ART AT BOLTON.—By the ex-
ertions of Mr. Bothwell, the local secretary to the London
Art-Union, an exhibition of the Art-Union prize pictures and
bronzes, proposed by him to be made there tor the benefit of
the public baths and the dispensary, has been converted into
a very successful general exhibition for these charitable pur-
poses, by help of liberal picture-loans from gentlemen in the
town and its vicinity. Nearly 600 valuable works of art
have been exhibited, in the outset at is. a-head, afterwards
at 6d., and ultimately at 3d., to enable the working classes of
Bolton to enjoy a treat. The rooms are still nightly crowded,
and yielding a clear profit of :30/. a-week, besides donations
to the amount of several hundred pounds, so that both of the
institutions aided will be greatly benefited, and the advance-
ment of the arts much promoted.—Builder.

BURGLARY AT A PICTURE DEALER'S.--Yesterday
morning, about one o'clock, the premises of Mr. George
Corsby, picture dealer, of 56, Princes-street, Soho, were en-

tered by 'burglars, it is supposed by means of a picklock key.
The robbers succeeded in carrying oil' a number of paintings
by the first masters, including Watteau, Teniers, Gainsho-
rough, and Wilson. Most of these paintings were on canvas,
and the thieves cut the pictures from the strainers to render
them more easy of carriage. They carried off at the same
time four paintings on panel. Mr. Hayes, the German pro-
vision dealer, who resides next door, heard a considerable
noise in the house early in the morning, and he imagined
that the servants of the proprietor were packing up some
of the works of art. Immediately after the noise ceased a
cab was heard to drive away from the door. The value of
the property lost is estimated by Mr. Coreby at nearly
1,000/. No clue has as yet been discovered to lead to the
apprehension of the robbers.

GUTTA PERCHA BOOTS.—Two days ago a Ger-
man, wearing gutta percha boots, left Brussels for Paris by
railway. He placed his feet on the zinc pan, containing hot
water, with which the carriage was supplied, and fell asleep,
On arriving at the station of Tubize lie prepared to alight,
but, to his astonishment, found that his boots stuck fast to
the warasing-pan, and as he pulled to remove them the soles
split into shreds. At last, amidst the loud laughter of his
fellow-travellers, lie had to draw his feet out of his boots
altogether, and, having sent his baggage on before, had to
wrap them in pocket-handkerchiefs and newspapers; and in
that pitiable plight he came all the way to Paris.— Galignants
Messenger.
FIRE AT THE MATH ABBEY WORKS.—OiI Fri-
day morning an alarming fire was discovered to haVe broken
out in these extensive iron-works, which are situate adjoin '
ing the ruins of Neath Abbey, Glatiorganshire. The fire
was first discovered in the fitting-up shop, which, with the
carpenters' and pattern shops, were entirely destroyed, and
some of the valuable machinery much injured, notwith-
standing the utmost exertions to subdue the flames by the
inhabitants of the district, who were speedily on the spot.
Fortunately, the conflagration was confined to these portions
of the works, and did not spread to the steam-ship building
yards, &c., or the damage must have been much more con-
siderable. As it is, however, the damage is estimated at
about 3,0001., but it is covered by insurances effected by Mr.
Joseph Price, the proprietor. The origin of the tire has not
keen ascertained.

THE CASE or TETE BIRDS.—The Government
have instituted inquiries for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the accused parties could be arraigned upon other
charges than those involved in the late inquiry at the Exeter
assizes into the charge of the murder of their servant Mary
Ann Parsons. It is found impossible, of course, to institute
another trial on the precise charge (that of murder or man-
slaughter) fur which the late acquittal lids been had. The
public will be glad to hear, how,:er, that such cruelty is not
permitted to escape scot free. The Government has issued
orders to have indictments prepared for the previons assaults
upon the deceased girl, which were not included in the late
arraignnaent.—)gunday Paper.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 70 THREE.
Sa:urday was observed as a holiday in the Liverpool
Cotton market.

A compilation cf great utility, epon the subject of
:team to Australia and New Zealand, has been made by
a c.louist. It embraces all the leading comments that
have api.eared in the public journals, including The Sun,
and likewise an account of the meetings held.
An effort is snaking to get up a testimonial to Mr.
George Walter, the founder of the General Annuity
Endowment Association. The capital of th• society
commenced with a single sovereign in 1829, on the mu-
tual principle of assurance, and has now accumulated to
❑early a quarter of a million sterling.
The Oierland express has arrived with late advises
from Bombay, &c. The substance of the accounts ap-
r;eirs to be that trade still was dull. There was in-
creased tightness in the Money Market at Bombay, and
discounts were one per cent. higher. The improvement
i❑ business which had been expected to occur after the
holidays had not taken place ; freights were very dull,
and the exchanges unsealed.
At Calcutta the transactions in produce had been
limited, but this arose partly from the want of supplies,
and partly from the deficiency of tonnage. Later in the
month the arrivals of vessels were more numerous. In
imported goods there was not much to notice, but ap-
pearances were rather favourable, and Manchestor piece
goods were held firmly. The rate of exchange was 2s.
per rupee.

Accounts of Friday last from Hamburgh state, that
Coffee had been rather active, and very little was done
in other articles. Ther© was some demand fbr bills of
exchange on London.
At Stockholm, on the 19th ult., the weather was ex-
ceedingly wintry, and the navigation was not expected
to be opened until the first or second week of the present
month.

There is a very firm market to-day for Public Secu-
rities, and with the prospect of a satisfactory quarterly
revenue statemest Stocks have advanced. Consols have
been done at 96f and 96f for Transfer, and at 96f and
96i for Account. The accounts from Denmark read
well, and an amicable settlement is mentioned as
being fully expected. The Russian notes to Prus-
sia upon the German union question are
likewise pacific in tenor. Exchequer-bills have been et
655. to 675., and India Bonds at 90s. premium. The
state of affairs in France seems to be the only drawback
to the English Steck Market.
In F,,reign Securities there is very little animation.
Spanish Five per Cents. are 17f f, and Portuguese Four
per Cents. about 31 to 33. Mexican have been done at
29k. Peruvian are 70f, and Buenos Ayres have risen
to 51f to 53k. Russian Scrip has realised 1 premium.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 85 to f ex div.
Railway Shares have been much the same.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The provincial markets held on Saturday were
tolerably firm for English Wheat, the prices of which
had an upward tendency. All Spring Corn moved off
heavily, and the quotations were not supported. The
Flour trade was in sluggish state. From the near con-
tinental ports wo have advises to the effect that a steady
business was doing in Flour for shipment to England
and Ireland. In Grain next to nothing was doing. The
Baltic and Black Sea markets were very dull for all
articles. Up to our markets last week the arrivals of
English Grain were but moderate. From Ireland and
Scotland the receipts were small. The imports from
abroad amounted to 11,163 quarters of Wheat, 12,106
ditto of Barley, 21,839 ditto of Oats, 3,361 ditto of
Beans, 387 ditto of Peas, 2,346 ditto of Tares,
195 ditto of Linseed, 550 ditto of Aaposood,
