The Lombardo- Veneto contains the following letter,
dated Rome, 31st ult.:—
"The so-much desired organic laws are always on
the point of being published, but at the period fixed
for their promulgation they continually require to be
corrected and improved. France is greatly annoyed
at the procrastination of the Roman Government,
and Austria is constantly preaching reform. The
Pope, no doubt, with a view to please France,
which does more than menace, since she is with-
drawing her troops battalion by battalion, and to
propitiate Austria, has consented to remove Cardinal
Antonelli from the direction of affairs. If it be
true, as it is said, that Cardinal Lambruschini is to
replace him in the post of Pro-Secretary of State of
Foreign Affairs, Cardinal Marini will assume the
department of the interior. The arrival here of the
Sardinian Envoy produced a greater sensation than
was expected. The Holy See is apprehensive of the
confiscation of the clerical property in the subalpine
kingdom. Cardinal Lambruschini leans towards
constitutional ideas. According to ancient usage,
every Catholic country has a protector in the Sacred
College, and the Cardinal patronises Piedmont. The
Court of Rome, which tamely yielded in its con-
test with the Spanish Government, owing to the
vigour with which General Narvaez demanded the
ratification of the sale of the property of the Church,
will no doubt likewise yield its difference with
Piedmont. Then will the accession of Cardinal Lam-
bruschini to the Ministry be quite natural. But it is
to be feared that the French retrograde party will
paralyse everything. We have here M. Veuillot,
editor of the Paris Univers, who is listened to as an
oracle, being regarded as the organ of Catholic
France, which, everybody knows, is not the case."
" The Pope," says the Roman Journal of the 6th
inst., " in the interest of the Roman population,
has thought proper to re-establish the tariff, which '
regulated the price and weight of bread according
to the actual price of wheat. His Holiness has con-
sequently enjoined the Provisional Municipal Com
mittee to restore the tariff instituted by Pius VII. in
1800."

The Giornale di Roma, of the 7th, publishes, both
in Latin and Italian, the letter addressed by the
Archbishop and Bishops of the province of Bordeaux
to the Archbishop of Turin, expressive of condolence
for his first imprisonment. It bears the date of the
29th of July, and is signed by the Archbishop of
Bordeaux, the Bishops of La Rochelle, Perigueux,
Angoul e me, Agen, Luton, Poitiers, Limoges, and the
ex-Bishop of Algiers.
Letters from Bologna, of the 7th, state that the
conversion of the old paper money into certificates of
credit has produced a good effect on the money mar-
ket, and that the change has risen to only 7 per cent.
discount.

The Tuican Monitore of the 9th publishes the de-
crees by which the Grand Duke.of TUSCANY accepts
the resignations of Signor CAPOQUADRI, Minister of
Grace and Justice, and of Signor MAZZEI, Minister
of Public Worship; and names as their successors
Senator LAMI and Counsellor BOLOGNA.
The Italian papers generally have opened subscrip-
tions for the victims of the inundation of the province
of Brescia. The provincial council of Novara has
voted that its share of the 21,000 f. allowed to the pro-
vinces for special expenses, be paid to Brescia. The
provincial council of Genoa has voted 1,3001., and
that of Santana 400 f. for the same purpose.

THE ATTACK ON MARSHAL HAYNAU.—A meet-
ing was held last night at the George Tavern, George-street,
Bankside, in celebration of the late attack on Marshal
Haynau. It will be remembered that the " George" is
the tavern in which the Marshal sought refuge from the at-
tack which was made upon him. The meeting was to have
been held in one of the rooms in the tavern, and in an ele.-
vated position, close to the seat provided for the chairman,
the chair was exhibited in which it was stated Marshal
Haynau had sat, and attached to it was the birch-broom
with the remains of the handle which it is alleged was
broken on the Marshal's back. These memorials of the late
attack were viewed with much curiosity, and the dust-bin
also attracted a good deal of observation. The room having
been found too small for the meeting accommodation was
provided in the skittle-ground. Mr. %V. Brown took the
chair, and several speakers having addressed the meeting, a
vote of thanks was unanimously given to Messrs, Barclay
and Perkins, fur their conduct towards their men who had
been concerned in the Haynau affair. Three cheers were
given for Kossuth, for Bern, for Dembinsky, and for the
Hungarian and Polish refugees, and three groans for Haynau.
HAYNAU's RETREAT ONCE BISHOP THE Must-
DERNICS DOG-DEN.—Sir,—lt is a singular fact that the
apartment at the George, Bankside, in which Haynau took
refuge, should at one time have been used as a den for the
exhibition of Bishop the Burker's dog. The beast was of a
most ferocious nature—so much so, that it was deemed neces-
sary to keep bim constantly muzzled. It was reported that
the animal had been trained to keep watch over the dead
bodies of the Burker's victims at Bishop's abode, Nova Scotia
Gardens. The tenant of the George at that period, about
fifteen years ago, procured the brute and some of the instru-
ments used by the miscreants in destroj ing the poor Italian
boy and others for the object of exhibiting them, and thereby
attracting custom to his house. The landlord's name was
Gessling. He had previously kept the Bird-cage, near Nova
Scotia Gardens, and Bishop was known to him as a efts-
em, Szc.; FRANCIS FAGAN, 20, Houghton-street,
Clement's-inn.

DANGER OF RESEMBLING GENERAL HAYNAU.—
The Journal du _Havre says—" A certain degres of agitation
was remarked yesterday morning at the railway station on
the departure of the eleven o'clock train. It was rumoured
in the crowd that General Haynau was about to proceed to
Paris by the train. Every eye was directed to an elderly
man, of a military look, very corpulent, and with stern fea-
tures ornamented with immense black moustaches. 'lt is
Haynau,' people murmured; it is the Austrian butcher; it
is the man who flogged women!' Fortunately some one
was present who was able to state that the person iu ques-
tion was a Olexican General, M. Santa Cruz, who has been
at Havre for some days. Ile cannot have been much flat-
tered at being taken tbr llaynau, and exposed on the part of
the population of G'raville to an ovation like that which the
pacificator' of Hungary obtained in the brewhouse at Bank-
side. It will become dangerous for persons having any re-
sem'Aance to the too celebrated Austrian General to wear
long moustaches. yesterday, for example, a gentle►nan
going from Cael to Havre by the Neustlie steamer, was sup-
posed to be Ilaynau, and was very nearly subjected to dis-
agreeable demonstrations."

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. WARREN, OF THE IN-
SOLVENT DEMOBS' COURT.-011 Saturday afternoon Mr.
Warren, one of the ushers Of the Insolvent Debtors' Court,
expired suddenly at his residence in Walcot-place. He had
partaken of dinner, and died in his chair. He was one of the
collectors in Lambeth parish.
DEFICIENCY IN THE CIDER CROPS.—SO great is
the deficiency in the orchard produce that one farmer within
two miles of Barnstaple, who last year made 150 hogsheads
of cider, will not this year make more than 10. We are in-
formed, too, that the deficiency, if not so great, is general
throughout the north of Devon.—Exeter Gazette.
