mained for nearly 12 years. Her father account-
ed for her absence by saying, that having slid.
denly become insane, he had been obliged to send
her to an eminent physician who did not allow
any one to see her. At the expiration of the tittle
which we have mentioned, however, and which
was that of the Jubilee, actuated by remorse, he
hastened to relieve his conscience by intrusting the
secret of his crime to his confessor, who, accord-
ing to the orders he had received, imparted it to
his Holiness. Measures were immediately taken to
ascertain the fact, the police was sent to the
residence of the Count, his daughter was found,
he was himself arrested, as well as foie partner
of his guilt, and they were both thrown into one
of the prisons of Rome. It might have been sup-
posed that a man guilty of such a crime would
have suffered a rigorous punishment; but no;
Count Paolucci was rich, he lavished his gold,
and, through the influence of a woman, the fey
vourite of one of the Cardinals, he obtained his
pardon ; and the wretch whose crime and very
existence is a disgrace to humanity, now ranges
at liberty in the States of the Roman Govern•
ment, and as it were under the Papal protection.
Such is the state and the conduct of the Roma°
Government ! The Italians, though afraid of
openly speaking their sentiments, are not uncon-
scious of their situation, as will appear by the
following verses lately circulated in Rome, and
which we give in the original, as their beauty
would of course he lost in a translation :

• Di un Leone* eacolatore
" Le Provincie son le selve,
" Li ministri son il cani
" Ed i popoli le 'wive."
In allusion to the name of the present Pope, Leo XII.

TIMBER DUTIES.—We hear it is estimated that
Government last year lost, in this part alone,
tween ninety and one hundred thousand pounds,
by abandoning Mr. Iluskisson's scale of duties for
deals. At present, timber in bulk pays 551. per
load, but if cut into 3-inch planks, the duty is
only about two-thirds—i. e. a person at Memel
or Dantzig, who sends a quantity of timber to
this country, pays 555. per load duty, unless he
gets it cut into 3-inch planks before he shiPs
when he will pay from 255. to 40s. per 100,04
as the lengths may happen to prove favourable
for duty. To remove this anomaly in politic°,
,
economy was Mr. Huskisson's object, it would
appear by his proposed duties, and not a desire
to give any preference to our own sawyers gel'
proprietors of saw-mills, although, if there be
difference, it should be in their favour, and Pe
against them. We lament his failure, since it bsl
caused a large amount of revenue to be 10°7
which, if it had been at the disposal of Ministeril
might have gone towards the reduction of the As'
sessed Packet.) -

CL:RIOUS FACT.—The inclemency of the !int;
ter is known to have a powerful effect in $° t
doing the natural timidity of birds ; but it Is
perhaps, so well known, that the
natural g°lpathies of those of a different feather are 011°1
at this season, in many instances, laid aside
that a canary may welcome a poor robin t
warm and shelter. This actually occurred t
?Maxwell-town on Saturday last. A robin reud
breast took shelter in a house there, nod perch°
himself upon the top of a cage occupied bi fj;
canary ; the door of which being opened, be.,if;
mediately took up .his lodgings wi:h the 10""
The two have lived ever since in the utmost 9°F;
sihle harmony, without the smallest sign nr fe,,a
on the one part, or of hostility on the other'.
