RUSSIA.

It is said that the Emperor NrcnoLAs intends on
Ist of December to abdicate, in favour of his son
,he Grand Duke ALEXANDER.

ITALY.

Accounts from Turin, of the 26th ult., state that
the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, on the
Bill empowering the Government to contract a ne%
loan of 100 millions of francs, by the emission of 6
millions of Rentes, has given in its report. The re-
port is favourable to the measure. The Concordia
says that the favourable character of the report is a
circumstance of greater importance than it at first
appears, because it shows that the Gauche has given
the measure its support. The Church party had
strongly opposed the Bill, and had hoped that the
ultra-Liberals would have coalesced with them. But
the Liberals, on finding that the sole object of the
Church party was to upset the Marquis D'AZEGLIO
and his Cabinet, refused to oppose the measure.
The first conference bad taken place at Naples
between the Commission appointed to investigate the
claims of foreign merchants for losses sustained during
the bombardment of Messina, and the representa-
tives of their rspective Governments.
According to a letter from Bologna of the 231 ult.
in the Opinione of Turin, the Austrian military autho-
rities in the former town had entered into a negotia-
tion with an Englishman for the cession of a large
piece of land, called the Caprone, outside the Porta
San Felice, which they intended to use as a ground
for military manoeuvre; but the price not having yet
been agreed on, the Austrian commandant had ap-
plied, notwithstanding, to the Government for per-
mission to occupy the land, which was granted, and
men were sent to cut down the trees, and level the
ground. The proprietor, who was at Turin at the
time, has protested against such arbitrary proceed-
ings, and a courier has arrived at Bologna with orders
from Vienna to stop the works immediately; the
British ambassador having made representations on
the subject.
The Concordia of Turin of the 26th ult., devotes a
leader to the question of quarantines, which is not
without interest from the facts it contains. Ever
since the French Government directed that all sani-
tary regulations hitherto observed with respect to
ships coming from infected places, should cease in the
port of Marseilles, the Piedmontese Government has
found it difficult to enforce its own sanitary regula-
tions. In consequence of the yellow fever that pre-
vails in Brazil the arrivals from Marseilles have been
subjected to quarantine throughout the Piedmontese
coast; but the masters of French vessels have found
means of evading the measure. They land their pas-
sengers at Cannes, close to the frontier, from whence
carriages take them to Mizza, where they find a re-
gular line of French packets to take them to Genoa
and the other ports of Italy, so that merchandize
alone, in fact, is subject to quarantine.
The Risorgimento of Turin of 26th ult. gives an ac-
count of the new Piedmontese steam-trigate Go-
vernolo, just arrived at Genoa from London, where
she was built under the direction of Captain Ricci,
and Engineer MATTE; expressly sent to London
for the purpose by the Piedmontese Government.
She is of 1,401 tons admeasurement, 213 feet in
length, by 36 in breadth, and 23 in depth. She
carries ten guns, besides two heavy swivel guns,
which have been tried in the waters of La Seals,
and found to answer perfectly at a distance of
6,000 feet.

The Constituzionale of Florence of the 23d ult.
states from Ancona, that the Holy Office has com-
menced proceedings against all the persons who have
been pointed out as having expressed irreligious
opinions during the revolution.

PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO Mn. JUSTICE TAL-
FOURD.—On Thursday last a deputation from Reading
waited on Mr. Justice Talfourd, at his residence in Russell-
square, to present to that gentleman a silver candelabrum,
subscribed for by a large number of the inhabitants of the
borough, of all parties. The base of the candelabrum is a
tripod, on which stands a group of three female figures, re-
presenting Law, Justice, and Poetry, the two former mo-
delled from Flaxman's sculpture on Lord Mansfield's menu-
ment in Westminster Abbey, the latter from a drawing of
the Greek Antique, bearing a scroll insciihed with the word
" Ion" in Greek characters. The arms of the Judge and of
the borough of Reading were engraved on the base. The
testimonial was presented to the Judge in the presence of
his family, including the venerable Mrs. Talfourd, mother
of the Judge, and attended by a large circle of private
friends.

session of a fortune of 50,0001. and two estates in the island.
