A duel took place on the 15th, ten miles from
Turin, between Colonel ASSANTI and M. SOLER.
The cause was that the latter had written against
Maras, and the former had taken his defence in no
measured terms. The duel was fought with pistols,
it being understood that it should continue until the
result was fatal to one of the combatants. M. SOLER
fired first, and missed; M. ASSANTI, on the contrary,
hit his adversary in the head, and laid him dead.
The Osservatore Romano publishes a letter from
Fossombrone, Ist inst , announcing that another mira-
culous image of the Virgin has commenced to move
its eyes in that town. Except its smaller size, it is the
exact copy of that of the Very Reverend Fathers
of the most Precious Blood at Rimini, and belongs to
a woman called the Fittora, to whom it was made a
present of on her wedding by a Monsignor who is
not named. It is added, that this image began to
move its eyes almost at the same time as that of
Rimini, and the miracle was at first observed in pri-
vate by the owner and some of her female friends.
The Bishop, Monsignor Uciourrz, afterwards got it
placed in the Episcopal Chapel. A commission of
theologians, named to give its opinion, declared itself
satisfied of the fact, and made a favourable report, in
consequence of which the statue was transported to
the Cathedral, where, says the letter, it now cures
the halt, the blind, the dumb, and the deaf. Im-
mense sums have already been received for alms by
the Church on account of this wonderful miracle.
The Giornale di Roma publishes a decree of the
director of police at Rome,, in which it is stated that

lation have been found insufficient, and that, conse-
quently., all persons who are in possession of arms were
to have given them up by the 20th of June ; after
which period those who are found in possession of
arms will be prosecuted according to the notification
of September 30, 1849.
