ITALY.

Letters from Rome state that a company of Ponti-
fical soldiers were recently ordered to Sinigaglia, to
replace a company of Austrian soldiers, who had re-
cently taken their departure. The Pontifical soldiers,
on their entrance into the town, were greeted by the
inhabitants with the cry of " Viva the Italians!" to
which they responded by the same cries. The in-
habitants and the soldiers at once fraternised, the
cry of " Viva the Republic ! " was raised by the
citizens and taken up by the soldiers, who placed
their shakos on their bayonets, and entered the
city amidst shouts of " Viva 'the Republic!"
Two days after a strong corps of Croats took
possession of Sinigaglia di,armed the Pontifical EA:
diers and placed them under arrest. Sinigaglia is
the birthplace of the POPE and the seat of the family
of the MAsz.us. This occurrence has occasioned the
moat intense excitement in Rome.

The Parina Gazette publishes a ducal decree of the
22i ult., declaring the citadel of Parma a fortress,
and forbidding henceforward the raising of buildings,
planting of trees, or digging of canals or ditches
within 335 metres of it.

Chevalier SPONTINI, the celebrated composer, ar-
rived at iesi, his birthplace, on the 12th ult.
The municipal council and the principal
authorities of the town went out, in pro-
cession to meet him. In the evening the
theatre was illuminated, a cantata was sung in his
honour, and a flattering address presented to hi:n on
the part of the town. On the following day Cardinal
Carol-, Bishop of lesi, invi'ad him to a splendid
dinner with the principal nobility of the piece. These
marks of public respect are chic fly owing to the mu-
nificent acts of Chevalier SPONTINI, who is the founder
in that town of a Monte tic Piete, an hospital for the
aged and disabled, schools for poor females, and se-
veral new professorships.

The Venerable Archdeacon Spooner has called a
meeting of the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Coventry to
be held at the King's Head Hotel, in that city, on Wednes-
day next, to deliberate on the steps to be taken in conse-
quence of the intrusion into this diocese of a Roman Catholic
Bishop of Birmingham.
STEAM COMMUNICATION WITLI THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE.—We believe we may announce that the Screw
Steam Shipping Company's first steamer, carrying the royal
mail from this country to the Cape of Goad Hope, will leave
England on the 16th December next. The mails will be
made up i n the 15th, of each month. This line of steam
communication will connect Great Britain with St. Vincent
(Cape de Verd Islands), Sierra Leone, and the Cape. The
company who have taken the Government contract, having
already tested the powers of their screw steamers upon the
London and Mediterranean route, have so much confidence in
them that they undertake to deliver the mails at the Cape in
34 days from England. The advantages which this cer-
tainty of postal communication must produce are obvious,
and we anxiously hope the expectations of the directors may
be realised.

THE LATE MURDER AT HAVERFORDWEST.—The
authorities of this town are by no means satisfied with the
result of the coroner's inquest on the body of Elizabeth Bar-
nard, who died at Havertordwest on the Bth ult., after lin-
gering for two days and nights from the effects of wilful vio-
lence inflicted upon her by some person or persons unknown.
The matter, we understand is still to undergo a searching
investigation: A reward of 501. has been offered to any
person who will give such information and evidence as shall
lead to the discovery and conviction of the murderer or
murderers of this unfortunate woman. The reward is made
up of the following Elllll5 : 201. from her Majesty's Go-
vernment, 20/. from the Haverfordwest Society for the De-
tection of Felonies, 101. from the Mayor and Corporation of
Havertordwest, and Sir George Grey has promised to ad-

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—The neighbour-
hood of Blockley and Moreton-in-Marsh, in Worcestershire,
and on the borders of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, is in
a state of considerable excitement in consequence of the
sudden disappearance of Mr. George Gardiner, who for the
last fifteen years has held the responsible situation of bailiff,
or steward, to Lord Northwick. At first it was feared that
his disappearance had been involuntary, and accompanied
with violence; but after inquiry there is found to be too
much reaso to believe that he has premediatedly decamped
with a laresum of money belonging to his noble employer.
It appears that on the last day on which he was seen in the
neighbourhood he called upon Mr. Kettle, an attorney, of
Chipping Campden, near Blockley, and delivered into his
hancs a packet, desiring
him to keep it in safe custody
for a short time until he saw him ( Gardiner) again. At the
time of his disappearance Lord Northwick was staying at
Cheltenham, and on being communicated with he went over
to Blocklet and then the rumcur of the steward's absence
came to the ears of Mr. Kettle. That gentleman at once
Y
proceeded to have an interview with his Lordship, taking
with him the parcel which had been left in his care, and
which on being opened was found to contain his books of
than
account of farming transactions, sales of stock, &c., as be-
tween Gardiner and his Lordship. It appeared by these
books that all entries of sums received by Gardiner for farm-
ing produce, &c., ceased with the month of April last, and
as the transactions have been considerable, the defalcation of
the absentee is estimated at between 2,0001. and 3,000/. The
