ROME, FEB. 18.—The winter at Rome continues
to exhibit the most forcible contradiction to what has been gene-
rally asserted and believed in regard to the vaunted climate of
Italy. Heavy rains, with abrupt alternations of frost, snow, and
bail, have been productive of much sickness and recurring liability.
The swelling of the Tiber, in consequence of rains and thaw, had,
during several days, filled the celebrated Pantheon with water ;
and bad obstructed internal communication in those quarters which
are in the immediate vicinity of the " Uxorious River," so as to
render indispensable the employment of boats. On the lit of
February the Romans could behold snow on that part of Soraete
uldeh looks towards their city, and thus witnessed a confirmation
of what was recorded more than eighteen centuries ago by Horace,
as an event of singular occurrence.

Assizes for the murder of Ann Matilda
Taylor, on the 19th of October last. The particulars of this
melancholy story have already appeared. He was attended in his
last momenta by the Rev. Messrs. Harrison, Hodgson, Seaton, and
Brown. Having taken an affectionate leave of all around him, he
ascended the steps with a steady but quick pace. On mounting
the scaffold, he said to the executioner, " Let me have as long a
fall as you can, for lam very light." He then said, "There is 4
great number of people here; I must say something to Clem
before I go." On turning round, lie said, " There are a great
number of eyes assembled here to-day to see me die. You that
are young men and women, refrain from all vicious ways—they
have brought me to this ends you that are parents and have fatni-
lies, keep your children at home, and bring them up in the love
and fear of God." He then turned round, and in a moment was
launched into eternity.
