ITALY.

A letter from Rome contains the following curious
gossip on the subject of the expected return of the
PorE

" A few days slice, General Baraguay d'Hilliers
went to Civita Vecchia to receive his sister, the
widow of General Damrement, who was expected
from France on a visit to him at Rome. The au-
thorities of Civita Vecchia, accompanied by the
municipality, having waited upon him in a compli-
mentary manner, his Excellency assured them spon-
taneously and repeatedly that the Pope wou4l shortly
return to the capital of the Catholic world, and that as
soon as his Holiness arrived at Rome all the French
troops would retire from the Papal dominions. As was
natural, this news—coming from such an authentic
source—was immediately divulged, and being communi-
cated hero to the bankers, ev,:s believed by many; so that
in the course of three da) s they refused to receive bills
upon England and Prance, because the exchange was
expected to go down considerab;y. Tho English Consul,
desirous of knowing the truth from the mouth of the
General himself, took a lvantage of meeting him at the
ball he gave that night to question him upon the
subject. But what was his surprise on receiving
a decisive negative regarding the supposed re-
turn of the Pope, accompanied by this ob-
servation, ' Ile does not come because he is afraid.'
But,' observed the consul,. they write from Civita
Vecchia that your Excellency assured them to the cot-
trary." The Civita Vecchia people
Ctme, come,' replied the General, with his sardonic
mocking laugh, ' the Civita Vecchia people ! and who
pays any attention to those poor creatures? I told them
the first thing that came to my mouth. voila tout. I
repeat to you that the Pope will not come because he is
afraid.'
" On the same night, and at the same ball, he said to
General Cordova, If the Pope does not come very soon
he will not come back, although he wishes it, for many

years.' "
The whole of the Spanish troops are to leave the
Roman territority immediately.
The Opinione of Turin, of the 23, gives a letter
from Trieste, of the 28th ult., which states that the
Austrian Government had sent a force of 25,000 men
into Dalmatia, in order to guard the coast of the
Adriatic. The object of this measure is said to be
to prevent any disturbances which might occur in
consequence of the proceedings- of the English fleet
at the Pirmus.

DR. A CHILLI AND THE ROMAN 1
INQUFITION.— (TILTS DAY.)
A public meeting of persons holding tine principles o'
the Protes net Re formation was hsld this 109:11iLlg iu
Exstei -hall, to welcome die return of De. Achilli, The
ant jcct of the mentir.g seemed to excite considerable in-
tercet amongst the Evsrgelical portion of the reetrope-
lis, and some thee before the co/iv/mime-merit ( 1 die pre -
ccedings there was not a vacant seat in the g-erta hall,
while the doers and passages leading t i the hail were
thronged with disappointed parties who had been unable
to obtain admission. The galleries were file 1 with
ladies, of whom there appeared to be a preponderance in
the meeting, and the platform crowded with eminent di
vines who have rendered themselves famous by the ec-
centricity of their manner, the depth of their learning,
or the eke-pence a (heir preaching. Anioneit them we
observed the Rev. Dr. FL tuber, the Rev. Mr. Binney,
Dr. Jerniege the Rev. John Granville, the Rev. Jot n
Burnet, and the Rev. Blptist Neel.
At elevee o'clock precisely, Dr. Achilli ascended :Ile
pletnirm, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering.
Immediately afterwards the chair eves taken by i'dr.
Bev sr, when three (tenzee of a hymn were given out by
the Re v. -Mr. Latroep, and surer Icy the meeting, ant
the Rev. Gentlemen having then invoked the Divine We:-
sing on the proceeding of Iles day,
The CIIAIRISIAN proceeded to address the meeting 011
the occasion which had called them together, regretting
that some person of big! er station had not been called
upon to preside over it. The objects of the meeting
were--first, to congratulate Dr. Achilli upon his escape
from the jaws of the Inquisition, and, second, to take:steps
for aelvaecing the interest of Protestantism. It was a
new sight to see one who suffered f.om the tyranny of
the Romish inquisition, but it served the good purpose
of convincing them that Popery was the sane now that
it had ever been. It was a disgrace to the nineteenth
century that the accursed Inquisition still existed, and
although the trickery of Popery might attempt to set up
the excuse that Dr. Achilli was imprisoned for a moral
and not a religious offence, yet there could be no doubt
that the Doctor's incarceration was attributable to his
desire to promote religious truth. Now, if such tyranny
could be tolerated uner a liberal and benevolent Pope,
what would have been the case had a Hyldebrand now
occupied the Papal chair.—(Cheers.) He would not de-
tain them further, but call upon Dr. Steven to explain the
measures which had been taken for secuting the re-
lease of Dr. Achilli.
Dr. STEVEN informed the meeting that Dr. Achilli
received his early educe tion amongst the Jesuits, and at
the age of sixteen became a monk elect in the order of
Lyola, in the Dominicans. He obtained rapid distinction,
and while yet a young man he was nominated Professor
of Philosophy and Theology of Virturpo. Leaving
Virturpo, he went to Rome and was appointed a profes-
sor in the Minerva College, the chief horns of the Domi-
nician order; but afterwards he was nominated to the
office of friar of a convent in Capua, where be obtained
considerable celebrity as an eloquent preacher. Nor
were these all the distinctions he bad obtained while yet
a Romanist. He had said enough, however, to
convince the meeting that even amongst Roman
Catholics the Doctor had been highly honoured and
reverenced, and was not the bad character which
his enemies had since attempted to paint him.—(Hear,
hear.) He now approached the period when a change
took place in the religious sentiments of the doctor.
There were amongst the Doctor's pupils at this time a
number of young men who had questioned him closely
on the topic of transubstantiation, and finding that ho
could net answer them satisfactorily, he had recourse to
the writings of the Reformers. These convinced him of
the errors of Romanism, and afterwards discovering
that the doctriees of Pope Pius IV. were a tissue c f
falsehoods from beginning to end, his religious feelings
underwent an entire change. The superiors re his order
were not blind to this change, and in order to put his
sincerity to a test, he was nominated on one of the
Remish festival days to preach a sermon in honour of the
Virgin Mary. This the Doctor could not conscien-
tiously do, and the result was that he was summoned
bef ire the Inquisition at Rome, who dismissed him from
all the offices he had held in the Romish Church. The
Doctor then sought refuge from the creatures of the In-
quisition in Italy in British possessions. He first went
to Corfu and then to Malta, where he wrote two letters,
one addressed to Gregory XVI. and the present
Pope, stating that subsequent research had fully con-
firmed him in the treth of Protestantism; and in 1848
he came to England for the second time to at-
tend the Evangelical Alliance, a hich tl at year was
held in Bristol. During the holding of that conference
on arrangement was made for extetiding Protestanism,
under the direction of Dr. Achilli, in the Roman and
Italian States, and when the Pope was driven from
Rome the Doctor repaired to that city. He there com-
menced his operations as a I,:rotestant missiorary, and
having circulated Bibles which he had brought with
him from England, he took steps to have the Scriptures,
which had never been dune before; printed in the verna-
cular language of the country. While thus engaged the
Roman Republic was overturned, end the Pope restored
to his throne by the French Government. The Doctor
ecrupulouely anstateed throughout from taking any part
in the political affairs cf the state. His mission he felt
was purely a religious one, but being a Protestant, he of
course was not free from the hatred of the Romish
Church, and eventually he was arrested by Italian sol-
diers aid thrown into the (lunge of the Inquisition.
Through, however, tl.c instrumentallity of Mr. Freetatl,
the British Consul, at Rome, the Doctor was removed
from these damp dungeons to the Cat e of St Angelo.
A deputation was then appointed to go over to France,
to seek his release, ho were readily aided by the Marquis
of Nerreanby, and they ultimately stvisfial the French
Government that the Doctor was incarcerated fur a reli-
gious and not a moral offence. Theyproved that the charge
against the Doctor of having seduced and murdered
a nun at Virturpu was a trumped up affair, and that the
a al cause of his imprisonment was his religious views,
and his having circulated Protestant Bibles in Rome. A
portion of the deputation then went to Rome, and re-
tained a Roman lawyer of some eminent. et, whom they
sent to Virturpo to investigate the charae f murder and
seduction against the Doctor. The charge was disco-
vered by the Learned Gentleman to be a malicious
slander, and the French Government now demanded the
libera ion of the doctor. The Pope, however, who had
been a shuffle: in the matter throughout, wished the re-
lease to stand over till he had returned to Rome and in-
vestigated the question, but the French Government
would not stand this at all, and they sent a body of their
soldiers to the Castle of St. Angelo, and obtained pos-
session of the Doctor's person, on the pretence that he
was required to give evidence before a court-martial.
The Doctor now felt that 1 e was fere,land left alone in
an ape:talent at Rome, he dressed himself as a French
soldier, and thus disguised, ho got without the walls of
Rome. He then repaired to Paris, where he was gladly
received and welcomed by the British Ambassador, and
ultimately found his way back to the metropolis of Eng-
land. That was a succinct account of the doctor's his-
tory, and the meeting established the efficiency and sub-
limity of the Evaagetical union which had brought about
the rely see of the doctor.—(Cheers.)
Dr. Aoneene then addressed the meeting in Italian.
The following, however, is a translation Of the purport
of his speech (—I praise God that I am amongst you
again, and in the name cf. God I pr. sent me sett before
you this morning. The Church of God is dear to me,
and I thank the Lord, tege ther with you, for my release.
You have prayed fur me, and in the solituee of my
prison I united my prayers with yours, which ascended
to he lien, n here they were accepted at the throne of
the Lord, and my liberation was decreed. I was
heppy in my prison, because, although in prison,
I knew the Lord was with me, and I had
my Bible with me. Oh ! imagine, my brethren, how
often I was cast down in spirit and found comfort in my
Bible. When I opened that blessed book I found con-
sols tion and comfort in it, and from deice I lifted up my
eyes to heaven, and said to the Lord, " Oh blessed are
those nations where the Bible is; Lord grant that this
book may reign in Rome ; also that this book way ap-
pear amongst the Romans." I look beck with comfort
and delight upon the important fact that the Bible has
been printed in Rome for the first time in our Italian
tongue. It is the last translation that has ever been
made, but the man who translated it so well was perse-
cuted by the Pope till his death. The book was pro-
scribed because it was a faithful translation, and to this
hour it is called by the Roman Catholics the Protest-
ant translation, and under this pretext they forbid
it being read; but at the moment of the emancipa-
tion of the Romans, when they were first receiving
their liberty, they received also this book as a
gift from heaven, and delighted as every man who
could obtain it. I was sought after on all sides. My
house from morning till night was filled with persons
coming to ask for it. It was sought after because the
people knew they were seeking Christ. Yes; they said
to me, we wish to become Christians—Christians as of
old► and fashioned as our fathers were in
those days when Christianity was pure, and the
Romans were spoken of throughout the whole world.
We will return to those times, and no obstacle shall
hinder it. By the grace of God we will obtain our libe-
ration, and receive this book within our walls as coming
from the hand c f the Lord. These, my dear brethren,
were the sentiments of my countrymen. These were the
expressions of their feelings, and imagine to yourselt es
how my heart leapt within me at seeing these things. I
was full of joy at the good work. My friends warned
me of danger, but my answer was, I did not fear. A
soldier of Christ has nothing t fear. I fear
not persecution; I fear not imprisonment; I
do not even fear death. I will stand here face
to face with my eremiee, not my own personal enemies,
but the enemies of the cause which I have in hand.
Well, things took their course, and as my words were
net sufficient, perhaps it was well that I should be more
substantial than many to the truths I was preaching.
Christians must be practical men, and therefore they
must not avoid opportunities of putting into practice that
%%filch they prof. see with their lips. I had not so much
ambition then as to suppose myself worthy of so much
honour, hut I now look upon my imprisonment as the
greatest honour that could have bk father me, and with
this feeling on my mind I left the Eatollites of
the Government. I will say nothing of the
way in which I received them when they came to arrest
me at my house, but you may be assured I was not cast
down. I received their intimation with petfect calm-
ness of spirit. I was in some sort prepared for it, and
so allowed myself to be taken away by them. Six
mouths I passed in prison blessing the Lord—thanking
him for the mercy he had shown me, and believing also
that i.e would grsnt me the fevuur of liberation.
My peace was not founded on man, but on God, Man,
however, in the hands of God is a seemed
cause, and therefore my thoughts often turned
towards you, because I was quite sure that evayr
thing you could do you would do for my liberation. I
received no intimation of what you were doing, but I felt
within me that you were at work for me. I felt so in
that tipir4 of cvmmtpion by which we 40 united one to

Toe Cotton Ma Act at Liverpn...l. yesterelly was
rather flat, and prices gcaeri.liy were in favour of buyers.
The salys wore estimated at from 4,000 to 5,00) bales,
of which 500 American were taken for export and 500
on speculation.—The market for Railway Shares was
firm, and prices slightly improved.
The sees of wheat last week in the mat kets which
regulate the averages were 95,801 quarters of wheat,
and 74 856 of barley.
ri a cerriphin:s are being made by the merchants
concoct, d a, ilia the American provision trade in London
of the difficulty experienced in obtaining a ready sale
f their produce, from the circumstance of the leading
houses in the trade opposing the system of public sales,
whilst in Liverpool the system finds every favour by
the buyers, and the public reap all the advantages cf the
sn-nc. This argument was strongly adverted to this
day by BF-. Keeling, e f the firm of Keeling and
Hunt, at a public sale of American provisions at Brewer's
ry, and who appealed to the trade, assuring them
that, in the event ot their promising support to reriedi-
c,ii public sn.les, on the same pr.ranple as now in exis:-
once at Liverpool, the firm would he backed by several
f the lea(iing American provision houses, who were
anxious to destroy the monopoly exercised by a few
ti;-ms in London.
Much less Tallow may he expected to arrive in Lon-
don between this and the 31st May, than arrived either
last ,-err or the year before, 1,200 casks only are known
to be on the way to London from Australia; perhaps
5,000 casks will be the outside rani, al from all places.
The last accounts ft.( m Odessa state that there were
only 1,500 to 2,000 casks on the spot ; but that the to:al
quantity will be much more than at first was expected.
By letters just received from St. Petersburgh we learn
that the market there woes flat at 108 Ito., a.m.d. for
August, and 112 with 10 Ito. hard money. The quae
Bey of New Tallow is variously stated from 115,000 to
130,000—probably for a safe calculation it may be stated
for shipment at 150,900 casks, including the quantity
lift met: the last season; this would make the supply for
1850 much the same as last year.
The Sr. John's (New Brunswick) Courier gives the
annual account of shipping belonging to that port, and
its out-bay, Miramichi, which has been made up for the
home government, for the year ending 31st December,
1849. We learn from the statement, that the number
of new vessels built at St. John's during the past year,
fur owners in the Unitel Kingdom, and not registered at
that port, was 12, measuring 5,495 tons ; the number
built and registered during the same period
was 73, measuring 31,279 tons. The number
of vessels in existence, as far as can be ascertained, be•
longing to S'. John's, on the 31st December last, was 505,
measuring 93,192 tons. As regards the shipping of
Miramichi, which includes all vessels built on the north•
ern shore of the province of New Brunswick, Miramichi
being the only registering port in that district,
we learn that the number of new vt ssels built there
during 1549 was 21, measuring 6,763 tons. The total
number of vessels owned there on the 31st December,
1849, was 90, measuring 7,464 tons. And as a proof
that the ship-builders at these ports do not anticipate
much injury to their business from the repeal of the
navigation-laws, we gather from the statements that
there are now in progress cf building in the St. John's
and North Shore districts 66 vessels, averaging in all
34,040 tons.
The quotation for Austrian Bonds at Frankfort on the
4th inst. was 818. At Amsterdam, on the sth inst.,
Dutch Stock was better, the Two-and-a-half per Cents.
being 551 to 5-16.
The English Funds are still firmly supported, in the
absence ot foreign intelligence of any importance.
Consols have been 958 to 968; the New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents.' 98i to 984; and the Three per
Cents., 968 to 96a. Exchequer-bills have been 555. to
58s. premium, and India Bonds 85s.
The Foreign Securities have been fluctuating. Peru-
vian have rallied in consequence cf the intimation that
the Government of tle Republic does not require a new
loar, but merely has asked authority from Congress to
anticipate sums duo upon the guano contracts which ex-
pired last year, and which, in the ordinary course, would
not be payable until next June. The Active Bonds
are quoted 721 to 741, and the Deterred 304 to 318.
Mexican Stock has been marked at 29k, and Brazi-
lian 891. Portuguese Four per Cents. brought 334, and
Spanish Five per Cents. 174.
Raiiway Shares have been further advanced, and with
a steady business doing. Eastern Counties, and the
shares with small amounts paid up, are generally
higher. Great Western have risen about 1, North-
Western 1 to 11, and Midland 8. Brighton, South-
Western, and South-Eastern are firm. Foreign shares
are quiet, and there is less doing in mires and banks.
