The Era Nuova of Milan has just been obliged to
suspend its publications, by order of the Austricn
Government.

A letter from Florence, of the 29th ult., in the Ri-
sorgimenlo of Turin, states that a new postal conven-
tion has been concluded between Tuscany and
France. The same letter says that the sth Austrian
corps d'armie has received orders to return to Ger-
many.
A letter from Leghorn of the Pith ult., in the
Statuto of Florence, announces that a notice from the
Austrian commandant of that sea-port has been posted
up at the theatres, forbidding the public to indulge in
any signs of approbation or disapprobation during the
performance.
The Giornale di Roma of the 28th publishes a de-
cree of the Minister of Finance, regulating the pri-
vilege of franking letters. This privilege is granted
to the chief functionaries of the state, the sacred con-
gregations, the generals of monastic orders, for
correspondence within or without the limits of the
state; within the state only, to cardinals, the relations
of the POPE, the members of the Holy Inquisition,
and the tribunals. The same privilege is granted
only in a limited degree to several functionaries of an
inferior order, such as directors of police, intendants
of military divisions, etc. The right of carrying and
delivering letters is declared a monopoly: of the state.
Persons detected in the act of carrying sealed letters
are to be fined at the rate of 80 baiocchi (4f. 50c.)
for every ounce weight, of which fine six-tenths are
allotted to the informer.

The Risorgiment• and Concoi-dia of the 2d inst.
contradict the statement that the POPE had issued a
bull excommunicating th 9 kingdom of Piedmont.
They say there is not the least truth in it.

The North of Scotland Bank and the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Bank have both recently t repor ed the state of
their affairs to their shareholders, consequent upon the rail-
way and other disasters of 1847. The North of Scotland
Bank shows a loss of two-thirds of their capital, and their
shares are consequently to be reduced to one-half, and to re-
present for the future a capital of only 190,0001. The Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Bank state that, in addition to their re-
served fund, they have lost 140,0001. of their capital.
THE Sun-DEAN or WESTMINSTER.—In reference
to some inquiries as to the cause of the Rev. Lord J. Thynne,
sub-Dean of Westminster, not having signed the address of
the clergy of Westminster to the Bishop of London, the Rev.
Gentleman states that it is the privilege of the Dean and
Chapter of St. Peter's, Westminster, to address the Crown as
visitor, and that a chapter is summoned, according to the acs
customed manner of the collegiate body, by appealing to the
highest authority in the realm for redress.
SINGULAR INCIDENT IN A ROE HENT.—When
Major Campbell, of Ormadale. in Argyllshire, and a party of
friends, were roe hunting cn Friday last with Captain Camp-
bell of Glendaruel's hounds, a most extraordinary circum-
stance occurred. A roe, hard pressed by the hounds, sprang
over a precipice, and was killed on the spot; three of the
dogs followed, but were so little injured that two of them
were fit for work the next day. The rock has since been
measured, and found to be 931 feet in height.
THE ROYAL CLARENCE THEATRE.—This pretty
little theatre, situate in Liverpool-street, King's-cross, has
been taken for a limited number of nights by a company of
amateurs for a series of performances. Last Monday evening
was the second of the series, and certainly bids fair to termi-
nate in a successful issue. The pieces selected were Self-
accusation, or a Brother's Love, The Angel of the Attie, and
a new travestie of Shakspere's tragedy of Hamlet, written, it
is said, by one of the company. The whole of the perform-
ances, both on the first occasion and that of Monday evessing
last, did great credit to the respective parties, and there is no
doubt that from the manner in which the histrionic aspirants
went through their parts they will be capable of appearing
before the public in situations more deserving their efforts.
The performances appeared to give universal satisfaction to
a numerous audience, which was testified by the applause
with which each piece was received.
GRAY'S INN, Nov. 6 —At a Pension of the Ho-
nourable Society of Gray's Inn, holden this day, Edmund
Tonks, Esq., of Queen's College, Oxford,
was called
to the degree of barrister-at-law.
We are glad to learn that the statement made by
the Church and State Gazette and the Record, of the Rev.
W. H. Anderdon having joined the Church of Rome, is un-
true. The Rev. Gentleman has resigned his living, and is
going abroad as chaplain to a nobleman; but we are assured
that he has no intention of forsaking the communion of the
Church of England.— Oxford Herald.
GUY FAWKES.—It may not be generally known,
but one of the most absurd and ludicrous caricatures of Dr.
Wiseman and the Pope, exhibited in their cannonicals, with
Guy Fawkes, emanated from George-street, St. Giles's, solely
inhabited by Irish Catholics, and afforded the most amusing
fun in that neighbourhood.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS.—Just before the
rising of Vice-Chancellor Rolfe's Court yesterday, a petition
was introduced, and was signed by several members of the
bar, addressed to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, on the
subject of the recent appointment of Roman Catholic bishops
in England by the Pope of Rome, and praying, on the part of
the English bar, that her Majesty would be graciously pleased
to direct that necessary measures should be taken to prevent
such improper interference in this country on the part of any
foreign potentate.
