ROME, OCT. 2!.

The Special Commistioo appointed by the Pope to try the mem•
bers of a Society of Carbonarl arrested In the Spring, who were
twenty-six in number, after the most mature investigation and
bearing of Comm], passed sentence a; the end of last month. Don
Joseph Plant, of Maddelooa, as being an old sectarian, and Grand
Master of a new Lodge of Carban►i, founded in Ream la 182$,
was sentenced to death ; one Is sentenced to imprisonment In a fort
for life; thirteen others for various periods, from twenty to live
years; ten were dismissed, on engaging to appear again if called
upon ; and one foreigner was ordered to leave the Papal dominions.
The Pope has commuted the sentence of death passed on the priest
Phalli into Imprisonment for life in fort Se. Lao.
Of the criminals arrested at Bologna two have been dismissed
with a slight punishment, the others executed : the number of the
latter is differently stated; by some at five, by others at three. Our
Journals take no notice of this affair.

We learn that the regulation of the episcopal dioceses in Dal-
matia and Dlyria is now determined. Their number is fixed at
six (not seven,as was at first reported). Goritz is to be the See of
the Archbishop. The post of Nuncio, in Switzerland. filled by
Monsignor Osttni. who embarked about a mouth ago for the Brazils
will, it is thought. remain vacant for some time. Monsignor Et-
golini, hitherto at the bead of the Military Administration, will. It
is said, go to Florence, and be socoseded In his post here by
Monsignor Toad, Secretary to the Congregation who is commis-
stoned to revive the ordinances tensed under the late Government.

The Pope has presented to the Santa Casa, at Loretto, a golden
goblet weighing 1 Mb& of which Mossistoor Sala is consmissimied to
be the bearer; and to the Church of &Dion, the native plant of his
Holiness, six candlesticks of bronze gilt. Cardinal Alban!, the

The King's health continues to improve ; but as account of the
cold and foggy weather which just now prevails, his Majesty will
not leave bis apartments for souse days.
The report that has been spread by some Journals that his Ma-
jesty's poems have been prohibited in Austria, has received no

MILITARY GOVERNMENT ODlOUS.—Although Au-
GUSTUB considered a military force as the firmest foun-
dation, he wisely rejected it as the most odious system of
Government. It was more agreeable to his temper, as
well as to his policy, to reign under the venerable names
of ancient magistracy, and artfully to collect, in his own
person, all the scattered rays of civil jurisdiction.—
Gibbon. .

PATRIOTIC Pal nz.—When Cu Alan V. desired the
Marquis de VI LI. ini a to lend his house to the rebel CON
STABLE DE BOURBON ; the Castilian replied that " he
could not refuse gratifying his Sovereign in that request ;
but that his Majesty must not be surprised if, the moment
the Constable departed, he should burn to the ground a
house, which, having been polluted by the presence of a
traitor, became an unfit habitation for a man of honor."

TOMB OF A TOOTH.•-•••When MAHOMMED 111. ar-
rived before Arinkil, there happened to be a plague in that
city, by which he lost a great part of his army. He himself
had a violent struggle for his own life, and was obliged to
leave one of his Omrahs, AHMED, to command the
army, and return towards Dowlatabad. On the way,
he was seized with a violent tooth-ache, and lost one of
his teeth, which he ordered to be buried with much ce-
remony at Beir, and a magnificent tomb to be reared
over it, which still remains, a monument of human vanity
and folly.—Dow's Hindostan, v. H.
NATURAL APPEAL.—When SHAPTESBURY (author
of the " Characteristics") attempted in the House of
Lords to advocate the Bill for granting Counsel to Pri-
soners in cases of High Treason, he was confounded, and
for some time could not proceed ; but, recovering him-
self, he said, " What now happened to him would serve
to fortify the arguments for the Bill. If he, innocent

two guineas, I shall -by relinquishing my right, lose two

respecting the state of the Co-

ten per cent. Now the fact is, that the fall. is only 3s.

as represented, sold at 345. only a trifling mistake of tso

a price, and probably never will.
Tallow quoted 351 per cwt. there never was such a

The above are only a few of the mistakes, and we
shall continue to expose, these gross errors, which are
evidently produced by persons giving details of what

the demand continues. _ _

A metropolitan Evening contemporary has justly de-
signated the Doneraille Conspiracy " a terrible, wide

tant life in Ireland."—We admit the terrific truth of
this designation ; but in doing so, we protest against
the injustice with which the Journalists of the
Orange party have arraigned the whole body of Ro-
man Catholics, for the criminal excesses to which the
detected complotters of murder have been incited by
means to which we acarcely dare trust ourselves to allude ;
we protest against the injustice, the impolicy, and the il-
liberality of holding up to universal detestation and ab-
horrence the majority of the population of Ireland, whilst
the ambitious and heartless -instigators of popular fury
and popular resentment, not only stand aloof from all the
consequences which their malignant exasperation has
produced, but are suffered, aye, suffered with impunity,
to goad their unfortenats. dupes into all the frenzy of su-
perstitious enthusiasm, and then consign them to the des-
perate guidance of the evil passions which they have
roused into action, and to which they have given a fear-
tul impetus. 'ln such a criais, shall we be silent ? As-
suredly not. We have been the honest and the zealous
advocates of Emancipation ; we must ever be the advo-
cates of Constitutional Libel ty ; but we cannot forget
that we have duties to perform to our country—to huma-
nity, and to the cause of, religion. And when we see
the laws of that country flagrantly violated ; the common
rights of humanity outraged with savage ferocity, and
the pure and holy Spirit of Religion profaned ; its sanc-
tity polluted ; its most sublime essence, its Charity,
turned to the very poison of men's souls, and its name
and its authority made the pretext, the cloak, and the
sanction of deeds of unprovoked vengeance and of cold
blooded assassination, we cannot suppress the indignant
horror with which we contemplate the details of that
conspiracy.—Cheltenham Journal.
It was Peter the Great who said that his empire
wanted water. Ever since his time it has been the
great object of Russia to push her conquests to the bor-
ders of the ocean. Her empire, on the south, already
extends along the Caspian and the Euxine ; whose shores
are covered with her cities, and with her naval and com-
mercial establishments. The Mediterranean, and the
rich and celebrated districts which lie between her and
it, are now Lthe object of her cupidity. Her policy has
ever been gasping and cruel, 'but cautious and prudent.
Site bolds her purpose steadily before her, and pursues
it with unshrinking pertinacity, but by gradual and wary
steps. The step which at present she contemplates taking
in promotion of her views, is the retention of Walachia
and Moldavia ; the transfer, in fact, of the limits of her
empire from the Pinth to the Danube. The accomplish-
ment of this object she has effectually secured by the
. exorbitant claim which, in the shape of indemnification
for commercial losses and for the ebtpences of the war;
she has made upon Turkey; no less. it is said, than be-
tween five and six millions sterling. As, according to
all" human probability, it is utterly impossible fee the
. Sultan to satisfy a demand of such magnitude, the Fin-
- cipalities will of course be left in the possession of Ni-
Aoki, in the liquidationof the debt.—Shepld Courant.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, Orr. N.

On the 14th instant the anniversary of FiROMAIIII VIL birth
day, M. Corm, the emissary of his Majesty at this Court, entered
a adeche, drawn by two mules, to which two, more were added
from a livery-stable. He thus proceeded to Quelus, and in
a private audience, presented his credentials. A few Nobles were
present, but no particular etiquette was observed either with regard
to dress or otherwise. Returning to his house soon after, U. da Corm
exposed the arms of Spain over the doer to the ridicule of the
public. During the evening of the same day, a hired mob. com-
posed of the lowest rabble, and headed by some priests and moots,
besides the illustrious Chiconia and Miguel Alcside. Chiconis
having been proclaimed general of the band, had the modesty to
refine this title, and contented himself with that of a simple co-
lonel, which was conferred amidst the acclamations of those around
him In the square of Rocco. The band having divided into small
parties, scoured the city in various directioos, insulting and striking
all those who would not consent to join them or cry long live Don
Matrix! Numbers of windows were also broken, because they
were not illuminated. It was thus that the capital testified its

CEREMONY 02 DEPOSING • SPANISH KING.-In
the fifteenth century, when the patience of the Castilian
people was exhausted by the crimes and follies of the fla-
gitious HENRY IV. they, in a body, claimed to them-
selves, and exercised, the privilege of trying and passing
sentence on their sovereign. A spacious theatre having •
been erected in a plain near Avila, an image representing
the KING was seated on a throne clad in royal robes, with
a crown on its head, a sceptre in its hand, and the sword
of justice by its side. The accusation against the king
was read, and the sentence of deposition was pronounced
in the presence of a numerous assembly. At the claw
of the first article of the charge the ARCHBISHOP of To-
LIDO advanced, and tore the ',Town from the head of the
image ; at the close of the second the Comte de PLA•
CENTIA snatched the sword of justice from its aide ; at
the close of the third the Comte de BENZVENTI wrested
the Kepis* from its hand ; at the dose of the last Don
