The King of SADINIA has returned to Turin.
The Patriote Savoisen says that among the papers
seized at the Court of the Servites and at the Palace
of the Archbishop, are some which tend to throw a
light upon the cause of the defeat of the Sardinian
troops in Lombardy. A letter in cypher, addressed
by FICANZONI to the PorE, has been seized. The
curates of the quarter of Ballon and of that of San
Dalmazzo have been arrested. Two monks of the
Consolata, and the guardian of the monks, the Ma-
donna of Angels, are also in prison, and a rigo-
rous search has been instituted in many convents, more
particularly in that of the Dominicans. It appears
that a vast conspiracy exists between some nobles and
the parti-pretre to bring the Austrians into Piedmont.
The arrest of GONELLA, the advocate, who has long
been conspicuous for his intimate association with the
Jesuits, tends to confirm these suspicious. His son,
Monseignor GoNELLA, passed through Turin a few
days en route tor Belgium, where he has been
appointed
poie since, en
by the PorE. It is rather remark-
able that this same advocate GONELLA was the director
of telegraphs a few days before the battle of Novara.
It will be recollected that General CHRZANOWSKI
has always declared that he never received certain
telegraphic dispatches which the Minister declares he
sent to him. Public opinion at first suspected the
loyalty of the Polish General, but it would appear
that the treason was not on his side.
The Military Commandant of the city and port of
Leghorn, has issued a notification, dated the 11th, by
which the public are reminded that all cockades or
other symbols or combinations of dress, made to com-
pose the colours of any nation or pclitical party what-
soever, are prohibited, as well as songs, crowds, and
other political demonstrations.
Letters from Placenz4, of the 12th, in the Risorgi-
mento of Turin, announce that political arrests are
still in progress throughout the duchy.
The Journal of the Two Sicilies of the 3d states
that the last month has been particularly disastrous in
consequence of heavy hailstorms and inundations, by
which the crops have been destroyed in many parts of
the kingdom.

de-
termined act ofconsternation by a most
self-destruction on the part of a gentleman,
evidently a foreigner, who discharged a loaded pistol through
his heart in the centre' of small clump of trees, near the
Round Pond, Kensington Z;ardens. It appears that about
the time in question the reporti of a pistol was heard, when
James Dunn, of 1, crem
we - road, Old Brompton, on looking
round, saw the unfortunate gentleman fall on the grass;
he instantly hastened to the spot,re and found the gentleman
quite insensible, and bleeding
thme ahiperasrtte.l sl;iaet wound in his
left breast, over the region of
single gasp after the arrival of the witness, and instingyaveexa-
pired. Thomas Clayton, one of the garden constables, No. 5,
was promptly on the spot, and picked up a pistol which had
been recently discharged, lying on the grass near the body.
On searching him, a purse containing 5/. in gold, and seven
shillings in silver, and fourpence-halfpenny in copper, was
found in his pocket, together with a gold watch and chain,
bute no papers or documents of any kind could be found. His
el
thing is evidently of foreign manufacture, and is composed
of a black frock coat, corded watered silk waistcoat, blue
cloth trowsers with black braid down the outside, linen shirt,
without any initials or marks of any kind, black silk cravat,
worsted socks, and Wellington boots. He wore a blue cloth
travelling cap, lined with orange coloured silk; in the centre
of the latter was stamped in gold letters," mode de Paris."
The unfortunate gentleman is about 32 years of age, sallow
complexion, jet black hair, and whiskers, and about 5 feet 5
inches high. The body was conveyed to the dead-house of
the parish to await the inquest and identity. It is the opi-
nion of many that the deceased is one of the excursionists
lately come over from Paris.
The Queen's Hotel at Cheltenham, certainly one of
the most perfect and splendid establishments in this county
or the continent, is announced, in our columns, to be sold,
by public auction, by Mr. Robins, under circumstances
most advantageous for a purchaser. The building alone
cost 40,0001, ; and, as the property is absolutely to be sold,
an enterprising manager, possessed of tact and attention to
the innumerable duties of his office, cannot fail to realize a
handsome independence in a few years. The business of the
hotel is now conducted upon the continental style, and is
giving universal satisfaction, besides yielding a handsome
profit.
The opening of the Great Northern Railway is ex-
pected to shorten the period of communication between Ber-
wick-upon-Tweed and the metropolis by about an hour; and
on a further portion of their line being opened, which will pro-
bably occur in less than a year, a still greater eaving of time
may be expected. The improvement already effected is how-
ever considerable, and it has been suggested that the Post-
office authorities should be memorialised to dispatch the
mails to the north of England by the new route as early as
circumstances will admit.
