The Council-General of licalth at Genoa has
decided that 411 arrivals from the Regency.
of Tunis, Malta, and Algeria, where the cho-
lera at present exists, shall be henceforward
subjected in the Sardinian States to a qua-
rantine of twelve instead of seven days, but without
the necessity of landing or purifying goods at the
lazarettoes. Also, that all arrivals from Cuba, now
labouring under the epidemy of the yellow fever, shall
be subjected to a fortnight's quarantine, besides land
ing goods at the lazarettoes, where they are to be
subjected to purification for the space of 21 days.
The Concordia of Turin quotes a letter from Flo-
ence of the 20th stating that the strangest rumours are
urrent about the band of 11Passatore, who still infests
ooth the Tuscan and Papal Romagna, notwithstand-
ing the exertions of the Austrian troops. Engage-
ments are said to have taken place with his men in
the vicinity of Cortona, in which the Austrians were
worsted. They also say that II Passatore has two
pieces of cannon, that he has divided his band into
three bodies, giving each a commander, and that he is
well provided with arms and money.

There is no present foundation for the report that
the Vice-Chancellor of England will be compelled to retire
in consequence of the effects of his late illness. His Honour
is recovering strength with rapidity, and unless he suffers a
relapse, it is his intention to resume his duties in November.
Sir James Wigram is suffering under a temporary depriva-
tion of sight front disordered stomach, but ho also does not
pit despair of recovering. If he resigns, the office of third
Viee-Chaticellor 1,3 no doubt at an end, and the 'Learned
Judge Till enjoy a pension.
